Nan Chen furrowed his brows again and looked at Ning Ran.

“I'm telling the truth. Honestly, I'm not lying this time,” she said in an aggrieved tone.

“What does that have to do with me?” he asked.

His question stumped Ning Ran.

He does have a point. A man Ding Fei doesn't know very well got her pregnant, and now she wants to keep the baby. However, what has any of that got to do with Nan Chen?

“Well, it's true that it has nothing to do with you. However, you could lend her a helping hand,” she replied weakly.

“Why should I?”

“Uh... That's because...” Ning Ran was at a loss for what to say.

I've got to applaud my stupidity. Why do I let Nan Chen's curt responses render me speechless just like that?

After calming down, she finally found an excuse that sounded somewhat reasonable. “Take pity on a life. This is an innocent child's life we're talking about.”

“You're also well aware that Ruan Anxi is a monster with no principles, and Ding Fei is no kind soul. It isn't worth it to offend a bad guy for the sake of another bad guy. Besides, how do you know she won't turn and bite the hand that fed her after she gets through this rough patch?”

She shook her head. “I can't guarantee it. Indeed, she's a rotten apple.”

“So, why are we still discussing this?”

“Ding Fei deserves to die, but I can't help feeling sorry for her baby. Back then, Ning Ziqiang also forced me to have an abortion. Had I not escaped, you wouldn't have had the chance to meet Dabao and Erbao.”

Ning Ran still felt a pang of sadness when she brought up the past. After all, it had been a difficult time for her.

Ding Fei would be a high-risk venture with practically zero return. Not only would it be risky, but it would likely drag his

However, I can't bear to turn Ning Ran down. I really can't. She hardly ever asks me to do things for her. If it's something she can handle on her own, she won't come to me for help. I know that she empathizes with Ding Fei from a mother's perspective. As she said, all she wants is to do more good deeds to gain more good karma for the two little ones.
