Chapter 753

After seeing Jiang Zhe off, Nan Chen went to the bedroom where he saw Ning Ran pacing around.

“What's wrong? Are you not used to being here? Is there something you want to change?” Nan Chen asked gently.

“It's too big!”

“What?”

“This room is too big. It's bigger than our previous living room. It feels like sleeping on a basketball court!” Ning Ran complained.

“Isn't that a good thing?” Nan Chen was puzzled.

“I can't get used to the size of this room. There's no need for it to be this big, as it's just a bedroom!”

Nan Chen went over to her to pull her into his arms. “Do you think it'll feel cozier if we can spend our time alone in a smaller place?”

“I don't like sleeping on a basketball court.”

“If we can find a room that is only a few square meters wide and can only fit us, that would be ideal.”

“No need to go to all that trouble late at night. I just feel uneasy staying in such an expensive house,” Ning Ran replied with a chuckle.

“Why would you feel that way? A house is where people should feel comfortable and at home. This house isn't actually new, but I've never lived here before because it felt too unnecessarily big for me. However, I didn't feel uneasy at all,” Nan Chen explained.

“That's because you've always been rich, so you don't see any issue with owning everything you have.”

“Is there a problem with you owning all these?” Nan Chen asked.

“It feels unreal,” Ning Ran replied honestly.

“Why?”

“I can't really explain it. It seems surreal, that's all.”

“I understand how you feel, but I have a solution that may make you feel more at ease. I can transfer the ownership of this house to you so that it truly feels like your own home.”

Ning Ran blanched in shock. “No! I don't want that!”

“Why?” Nan Chen was baffled.

“This house is huge. I checked online, and it was sold for a few billion back then. The price must've increased by now, so I dare not become the owner of such an expensive house,” Ning Ran told him.

“A few billion is nothing to me. Why would you think that way? Isn't it more important to transfer the ownership to you to make you feel better?” Nan Chen inquired.


Ning Ran waved her hands hastily. “No, that won't do. This house is too expensive. I can only take what I deserve. I love money, but I won't take something that isn't rightfully mine.”

Nan Chen stared at her. “Do you lack confidence in yourself, or do you lack confidence in me?”

Ning Ran cowered a little under his sharp gaze and replied weakly, “Both.”

“Let's talk about that after we get married.”

“No, I can't marry you! I cannot fulfill your family's expectations for a well-educated spouse. As an ordinary citizen, I fear that people will regard me with disdain after I join your family!” Ning Ran cried.

A smile nudged Nan Chen's lips, for he loved seeing her chickening out.

“Don't worry. I'll get someone to deal with your educational background.”

“The thought of pretending to have a certain educational background in order to marry into a wealthy family seems overly dramatic to me. I am not comfortable with that idea,” said Ning Ran, expressing her discomfort with the proposal.

“If you won't marry me, who else will you marry?” Nan Chen demanded.

“Let's take our time and discuss this further. We should not make any hasty decisions,” Ning Ran urged and waved her hands.

Interesting. Many women would die to marry into the Nan family. Look at her. She is afraid to marry me and isn't interested in joining the Nan family. What a strange woman.

“Unfortunately, this is not a conversation that can be put off. The board of directors has long believed that my single status is a weakness. They assume that being unmarried means I lack maturity. They have been persistent in their nagging. With time, even my grandfather has begun to prioritize my marriage, constantly urging me to wed. If you decline my proposal, I will have to consider other options and marry someone else.”

Ning Ran glared at him. “Who are you going to marry? Are you going to get Ouyang Qing out of jail to marry her? She once harmed my daughter! You can marry anyone but her!”

“That's my daughter, too! Of course I won't marry her.”

“Who are you going to marry, then?”

“I don't know.”

Nan Chen was telling the truth, for he had no idea who he would marry. Everyone had been ridiculing him for staying single this long.

“You don't have a target yet. Ah, this is not urgent. We can talk about this later.” Ning Ran gave a dismissive wave.

Nan Chen felt displeased seeing how indifferent Ning Ran was.

How could she be this indifferent? Is she fine with me marrying someone else? If that's the case, does that mean she has no feelings for me at all?

The thought of Ning Ran not caring about him frustrated him greatly.

Everyone respects me, but she's the only one who doesn't care about me. Why? This won't do. I'll have to do something or she'll grow more arrogant and stop treating me seriously.
