Of course, Nan Chen could tell Ning Ran was unhappy. He was just feigning ignorance.

While he ate, he talked to the children and ignored Ning Ran's dirty looks.

Nonetheless, Ning Ran had no choice but to let him mooch off their food.

As time passed, her anger dissipated. Still, she would not talk to him.

After dinner, Ning Ran went to the kitchen to clean up, and Nan Chen followed.

However, Ning Ran pretended not to see him and continued with her work.

“I did go to the hotel with her,” said Nan Chen while standing behind Ning Ran.

Ning Ran's anger surged when she heard that. So, you two went to the hotel? And yet you dare to assert dominance over me? What's the meaning of this? Are you trying to tell me you went to a hotel with another woman, and there's nothing I can do about it?

Ning Ran turned around to glare at him and bellowed, “Get out! Get out of my house!”

Even though I'm no match for you, I won't let you bully me, no matter who you are!

Regardless, Nan Chen did not move. Of course, he would not leave just because she told him so.

He began, “I'm sure you know there's a video production company under Nanshi Corporation. It was established five years ago. For the past few years, we've invested a lot of money in it, but it kept losing money. It costs a lot to run a video production company, after all. In fact, we need to invest a lot to buy copyrights. Although the company was not making any profits, its growth was great. It's expected to be listed independently next year and slowly achieve a profit break-even point and even make some earnings. You were abroad for some time. Surely you know how influential Astoria's basketball league is. We've always wanted to acquire their network broadcast rights. So, we put in a lot of effort, having long discussions with DBA's marketing team. Even their CEO came to Flower City to have a meeting with our higher-ups. That was when the donation incident happened. Rumors of us being involved in money laundering spread. The other party got worried. Hence, they suggested holding off the discussion and continuing it when the time was right. Luo Zhiyi and Mr. David, the CEO of DBA, are acquaintances. That's why she came with me to the hotel to talk to Mr. David. We wanted to convince him to resume the negotiation. That's all.”

Nan Chen explained everything in one go before looking at Ning Ran.

She said nothing. After all, she needed time to digest all the information.

“If you're there to talk about work, why did you make Nan Xing the scapegoat?” asked Ning Ran.

Not only did I use Luo Zhiyi's connection to meet with Mr. David, but there was also no favorable outcome. Hence, I decided to make a fuss out of the sneak shot to divert everyone's attention and downplay the negative impacts of the failure. Not getting the broadcasting rights for the DBA's basketball competition directly affects our plans for this year. It even affects our plan to get the video company listed independently next year,” clarified Nan
