After Nan Chen's call, he turned around and noticed the gloomy expression on the woman's face.

He was puzzled and wondered if the long phone call had upset her because she felt neglected.

On second thought, he dispelled that notion as she was never a petty person.

“You wanted to tell me something?” Nan Chen asked tentatively.

“Attend to your business. I'm fine,” Ning Ran answered blandly.

“That's strange. Why did you come to me if you have nothing to say?”

“It's nothing. I'll get off in front.”

Nan Chen did not respond. He knew that the woman was throwing a tantrum.

However, he could not decipher her reason for doing so.

Besides, she was fine when she had just arrived. Why did she get upset all of a sudden? The mind of a woman is an unfathomable thing, indeed.

Since she got no response from Nan Chen, Ning Ran couldn't find an outlet to vent her displeasure. It felt like she was throwing punches in the air.

Silence ensued in the car for a long time without anybody saying a word.

Nan Chen was cunning. He knew there must be a reason for Ning Ran's visit during his working hours.

Since it's an urgent matter, she must want to talk about it. She would not remain silent for long.

That was why he was in no hurry to speak and decided to wait and see how long she could hold it in. After all, Nan Chen excelled in remaining silent.

After a while, Ning Ran could not bear the silence any longer.

I'm making a fool out of myself by trying to outwait Poker Face. He's someone who could go a day without speaking!

Ning Ran gave a light cough to break the awkward silence.

Nan Chen heard it but pretended not to. He did not even look at her.

Ning Ran panicked. Who do you think you are? I broke the silence. You should at least look at me.
