Chapter 764

The next morning, Nan Chen had just woken up when Qiao Zhan informed him that Lu Zhan's assistant, Qiao Yonglie, had visited and had something to say to him in person.

When Nan Chen stepped out, he saw the tall and muscular Qiao Yonglie standing in the yard. Well, he does look similar to Qiao Zhan.

“Mr. Nan, Mr. Lu has asked me to inform you that Ms. Lu and her children have been saved and are currently receiving psychological counseling. He also wishes to express his gratitude to you for supporting us all this while,” Qiao Yonglie stated.

Nan Chen nodded to show that he understood.

Just then, Ning Ran rushed out. “Are they fine already?”

Qiao Yonglie did not answer her question as he had never seen her before.

At that, Qiao Zhan introduced, “This is Mr. Nan's wife.”

Qiao Yonglie nodded. “They are fine now.”

“They're not hurt, are they? How about the kids? Are they all right?”

“They're not hurt. They're just shocked by what happened. Mr. Lu is arranging for an expert to provide them with psychological counseling. It's best to give them some peace for the time being,” Qiao Yonglie said.

“Then what about Ms. Lu...”

Ning Ran had wanted to continue probing, but Nan Chen glanced at her, signaling her to stop talking.

It's nice enough that they send someone here to let us know that they're safe already. You talking non-stop right now isn't the most appropriate way of reacting. You're friends with Lu Jingyuan, but you aren't with Lu Zhan. He might not like it since he probably thinks we're the ones who implicated his sister.

“All right, I got it. Let Ms. Lu know I'll meet her when she finishes settling her matters,” Ning Ran said sheepishly.

“Sure.”

After accomplishing his task of conveying the message, Qiao Yonglie took his leave.

“Why didn't you let me ask? I'm merely concerned about Lu Jingyuan.” Ning Ran glared at Nan Chen unhappily.

“Didn't he already make it clear? Lu Jingyuan has been saved and is currently receiving psychological counseling.”

It was absolutely fair for such young children to undergo psychological counseling after going through a huge shock. Otherwise, it would leave adverse effects and affect them for their entire lives.

“I understand that, of course. It's just that—”

“Lu Jingyuan's brother, Lu Zhan, is taking the lead for this matter now. From his perspective, we're the ones who dragged Lu Jingyuan into this mess. I'm afraid he's very upset about it. It's pointless that you ask so much.”

“Oh, by the way, what does Lu Zhan do for a living? How is he that capable that he can save Lu Jingyuan so quickly?”

“He's a member of the special department. His assistant doesn't use titles when greeting him, but I think he holds a high position. There's no way he can take the private jet of the special department if he doesn't,” Nan Chen deduced.

“What special department?” Ning Ran's curiosity was piqued.

“You don't need to know about that. Curiosity kills the cat. Just focus on filming instead of showing too much interest in Lu Jingyuan's brother,” Nan Chen spat.

It was not hard to tell that Nan Chen was unhappy whenever Ning Ran showed too much concern for other men.

“Fine, I'll stop asking. But how old is he? I wonder if he's good-looking.”

Deep inside, Ning Ran believed that Lu Jingyuan's brother should be nowhere inferior since Lu Jingyuan looked so beautiful.

It was beyond her imagination that her words would piss Nan Chen off. “Didn't you say you won't ask anymore? Why are you still asking whether he's good-looking or not? What do you want?”

Standing by the side, Qiao Zhan could not help but chuckle after listening to their conversation.

Nan Chen swept his piercing gaze toward Qiao Zhan, causing the latter to hold back his laughter immediately. “Uh, I'll go and see if breakfast is ready. You guys can continue with your chat.”

Ning Ran figured that her question was a bit sensitive even though she did not give it too much thought earlier and had merely asked that question casually.

“Oh, I asked the wrong question again. Why would I care about his looks? Let's go. Time for breakfast.” Ning Ran giggled awkwardly.

“He's not bad-looking,” Nan Chen answered nonetheless.

Ning Ran smiled but dared not say anything more.

“Honestly, way above average,” Nan Chen added.

Ning Ran did not understand what Nan Chen was trying to imply and hence did not give any response.

In truth, Nan Chen did not mean anything more than what he said. He merely thought that it was ungentlemanly of him to flare up when Ning Ran asked about Lu Zhan's matters.

He was also worried that Ning Ran would think he was insecure about himself, so he decided it was wiser to admit that Lu Zhan was good-looking.

Besides, he was not lying. Lu Zhan was indeed a decent and nicely dressed, handsome man.

During breakfast, Erbao kept trying to find out about Lu Yunxue's situation.

Ning Ran tried to explain to Erbao that as much as Lu Yunxue and Lu Yunbing were already safe, she could not meet them yet. However, the little girl could not wrap her head around why she could not visit her friends when they had already escaped to safety.

Surprisingly, Nan Chen was rather patient this time around. “Listen, Yunxue and Yunbing would probably feel scared after going through a dangerous situation, right? If you're Yunxue, will you be scared?”
