Chapter 811

Ning Ran had always hated hearing Luo Fei call her “Ran.”

It was not that there was anything bad about the nickname, but Luo Fei always called her that with ill intentions in her mind.

Yet, this time, Ning Ran did not find it annoying.

Social skills could never bring two people closer together. Only when sincerity was brought to the table would they truly get closer to each other.

Luo Fei had always called her “Ran,” but this time, she was delighted. She could sense Luo Fei's sincerity and kindness.

How rare.

“You look well,” Ning Ran said with a smile.

“Yes, I like my current job a lot. I spend every day by the children's sides while they learn and play; I spend my time making arrangements for them and watching them grow. Did you know? They're improving every day, and they learn something new about this world every day. The one with a bowl cut over there is Ming. Yesterday, he told me he noticed I never drank any cold water, so he asked if I was ill. I told him that cold water was bad for the body, and he said he'll boil water for me every day. Ran, did you know? I was so touched I nearly cried that day. This world is beautiful, but I never once took the time to appreciate it.”

As Luo Fei spoke, tears welled up in her eyes again.

When Ning Ran realized how good Luo Fei's life was at that moment, she, for a second, could not bring herself to tell Luo Fei about what happened to Ning Ziqiang.

However, Nan Chen told her that Luo Fei was the only one who could deal with the problem.

She had to return Ruan Anxi's money and exchange herself for her parents.

Of course, while Ruan Anxi could take the money away, Nan Chen and Qiao Zhan were certainly not going to let Ruan Anxi take Luo Fei away.

“Ran, let's take a seat there. I have some tea leaves in my room, so let me get that and make you a cup of tea.”

Luo Fei reached out to hold Ning Ran but abruptly retracted her hand.

She was afraid that Ning Ran would be upset. After all, she had done plenty of terrible things to Ning Ran.

Hence, instead of grabbing Ning Ran's hand, she gently tugged Ning Ran's sleeve before flashing her an awkward smile.


It was stiff and unnatural, for her face had undergone plastic surgery.

Yet, the joy in her eyes was genuine.

Ning Ran smiled and held her hand. “I'll skip the tea. There's something I want to tell you.”

As far as Ning Ran knew, this was their first time holding hands.

It felt unfamiliar, and although both felt strange to do it, both pushed away the discomfort in their chests.

“Okay, I'll get you a glass of water then.”

“Okay, I'll get you a glass of water then.”

Once Luo Fei filled a glass of water, Ning Ran gestured for her to sit down.

“You're not feeling unwell lately, right?”

“Just a little. I don't dare to eat anything fried as that makes me sick, but I'm fine overall.”

Ning Ran nodded. “There's something I need to tell you, but I hope you can remain calm after hearing it.”

Luo Fei gave her a smile. “Ran, please just tell me what it is. The cliffhanger is only making me even more nervous.”

“Okay. Take a look at this.”

Ning Ran then showed Luo Fei the picture that Cheng Xiangyun sent her before patting the back of the latter's hand to remind her to stay calm.

“Dad? Mom? Are they looking for me?”

Luo Fei's first reaction was an obvious indicator of the difference in her intellect and Ning Ran and Nan Chen's.

Both Ning Ran and Nan Chen instantly figured out that it was one of Ruan Anxi's dirty tricks, but Luo Fei, someone who had been close to Ruan Anxi for such a long time, did not realize that immediately.

That meant that she was not as quick-witted as Ning Ran, let alone Nan Chen.

In other words, no matter how terrible she was, she could never be the victor, for she was not smart enough to pull off master plans.

“This wasn't posted by them. If they were the ones who posted this missing person poster, why would they have placed their photos there too?” Ning Ran hinted.

“What does that mean? Who posted this, then?” Luo Fei asked, still confused.

Is she really dense, or has she become dumber?

“Take a better look at this. Someone is looking for you. Think about it. Who's looking for you at the moment?” Ning Ran hinted again.

It was only then Luo Fei finally realized what was going on. She shrieked out, “Doctor?”

She had been by Ruan Anxi's side for a long time, so she was used to calling Ruan Anxi “Doctor” like his other subordinates.

“Yes, it's him. If our guesses are right, he must have held Ning Ziqiang and your mother... hostage.”

“What? What do we do now?” Luo Fei cried out.

“Stay calm. Ruan Anxi's trying to force you to come out. His target is you, not Ning Ziqiang and your mother, so they're temporarily safe.”

“No, Ran, you don't know that Doct— Ruan Anxi's a monster! He doesn't even bat a lash when he kills! It's likely that Dad's going to die in his hands!” Luo Fei blurted out.
