As talked along the way, the atmosphere became less stiff.

Qiao Zhan felt that Ning Ran wasn’t as bad as what he had heard. He just couldn’t believe it.

While people might regard him as a brute, he actually had a lot of life experience.

His intuition had told him that there was something odd with Mr. and Mrs. Ning. But he didn’t have the evidence to justify his claim, so he could only report the results of the investigation based on the facts at hand.

It seemed Nan Chen had set the appointment at that restaurant, the one that required a reservation and was famous for its grilled steak.

Ning Ran really liked that place. The last time around when she came here with Feng Minsheng, she didn’t even have the chance to enter. But you could say that her wish was fulfilled today.

If only it wasnt for what had happened, I would have enjoyed this steak thoroughly…

What is she worried about? Nan Chen thought to himself as he could sense Ning Ran’s anxiousness in her eyes.

Well, it doesnt matter, Ill have her speak after she had finished eating. I wouldnt want to put such a good steak to waste.

“I apologize, I might have drunk a little too much yesterday. Did I say anything weird?” said Ning Ran as she chuckled.

“You did.” Nan Chen replied coldly.

Do you know how to read the room? How could you just answer that straight to my face? Ning Ran thought to herself, feeling a little awkward.

“Then why didn’t you stop me from drinking? I’m not a good drinker, to begin with.” Ning Ran attempted to shift the blame.

Nan Chen didn’t bother to refute. He merely pointed to the red wine sitting on the table and asked, “Would you like to have some?”

Ning Ran shook her head, before saying “No thank you. I wouldn’t want alcohol to get in the way of business.”

“I’ll give you the money tomorrow,” said Nan Chen.

“Really?” Ning Ran cried out, delighted.

His words put her into a good mood and she finally gained her appetite.

Nan Chen took a sip from his glass of wine and remained silent.

“On second thought, I think I would like to have some.”

Ning Ran handed Nan Chen her glass and drank the wine in one go.

The wine was marvelous and Ning Ran knew it, but she couldn’t put a finger to what was so special about it.
