“Why would I want to be here when I can spend the entire day at home?” Ning Ran asked rhetorically.

“We can drop by and pick up the kids together in the afternoon,” Nan Chen added.

“Is that what you have been up to all along? You should have told me earlier. Otherwise, I’m going to misperceive that you’re missing me,” Ning Ran blurted out the thing she had in mind.

Initially, it was an unintended joke, but the moment Ning Ran finished her sentence, she recalled that she was talking to Nan Chen.

She could fool around with others, but she should never behave in such a manner when she was around the man.

Similarly, Nan Chen was taken aback by Ning Ran’s unintended joke. He felt as though she had tried to hit on him.

As soon as Ning Ran caught a glimpse of Nan Chen’s gaze, she explained herself, “I-I didn’t mean it! I-It’s a joke!”

“Do you always pull others’ legs in a similar method?” Nan Chen probed callously.

“No! Who do you think I am? I’m trying to pull your leg because we’re close acquaintances!”

“Are you sure we’re closely acquainted with one another?”

Do I get to consider him a close acquaintance of mine?

She turned the idea in her mind and remarked, “I guess we’re halfway there?”

Frowning, Nan Chen asked, “What do you mean we’re halfway there? Are we heading somewhere?”

In return, Ning Ran chuckled, “I have no idea you’re such a funny guy! Is that an intended pun?”

As soon as she regained composure, she noticed she had gone overboard and embarrassed herself in front of him again.

Nan Chen couldn’t comprehend the reason Ning Ran laughed out loud in front of him.
