Nan Chen kept quiet, and Ning Ran didn’t know what to say either.

Erbao realized how she had made things extremely awkward and turned toward Dabao for help.

“Let’s not talk about this any further, shall we? We wouldn’t be here if Daddy doesn’t like Mommy, right?” Dabao asked Erbao.

“Yeah, that makes sense!” Erbao nodded profusely.

“Come on, let’s go get something to eat!” Ning Ran said.

“Mommy, Daddy, I miss Uncle Xing. Can we have him over as well?” Dabao asked all of a sudden.

“Of course! Have him meet us at Heshunlai Hotpot City. We’ll be having hotpot today!” Ning Ran suggested.

She then realized she had forgotten to seek Nan Chen’s opinion on it and turned towards him. “Are you okay with that?”

Why bother asking for my opinion when she’s already said yes? Heck, she’s even thought of where to go and what to eat! I’d never hear the end of it from these kids if I were to say no right now!

“Of course, I’m always okay with anything.” Nan Chen said.

“All right, give me a moment. I’ll give Uncle Xing a call.” Dabao whipped out his phone and went outside to make a call.

“It’s just a phone call. Does he really have to go outside like that?” Ning Ran mumbled.

“Children have a need for privacy too, you know? You should learn to respect that.” Nan Chen said coldly.

“Hey, I do respect others! Look, I didn’t tell the kids to listen in on your conversation earlier!” Ning Ran clarified.

Nan Chen glared at her. “Right, sure you didn’t…”

“I really didn’t! Tell him, Erbao!”
