Ning Ran pouted, and asked Zheng Lunlun softly, “Are you getting better?”
“I am slightly better.” Zheng Lunlun replied.
Ning Ran counted the words, “I am slightly better” as four words. In the past, he would start to stammer if he
exceeded three words. It seemed like he managed to break through the limit of three words.
“Under five words I will not......not......”
Here it goes again! Zheng Lunlun started to stammer again just right after they thought he was fine.
“Ok, I got it. So you can only keep within five words in order to not stammer?” Ning Ran asked.
“Yes!” Zheng Lunlun nodded his head with some force.
“Zheng Lunlun, get in the car!” Nan Chen signaled to him.
“What?”
Zheng Lunlun thought that Nan Chen's intention of asking him to wait at the service area was to let him and Ning
Ran share the same car.
But it seemed like that was not the case. Nan Chen wanted to take the same car as Zheng Lunlun, and let Ning Ran
take the other car alone.
But why was that so? Zheng Lunlun could not understand.
Ning Ran was also confused. All she did was to take a short nap in the car, and this has provoked the Poker Face so
much that he wanted to switch cars?
But Ning Ran quite liked this arrangement. By having a car to herself, she could sit however she liked without any
restraints.
Zheng Lunlun was prepared to share a car with Ning Ran, so that they could even play a few games together when
they reached their destination. However, Third Uncle had ruined his plan and now he was really unhappy.
But although he did not like the arrangement, he did not dare to defy Third Uncle. He got onto the car obediently,
and sat next to Nan Chen.
Nan Chen was angry when he saw Zheng Lunlun's bothered face.
It seemed like his decision to not let that woman share a car with Zheng Lunlun was totally right. This woman could
make men go head over heels for her.
Young men like Zheng Lunlun who was full of lust, would not be able to resist such temptation from her. He had to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcut down on their interaction opportunities as much as possible!
Nan Chen glanced at his nephew who was sitting next to him. He could tell from Zheng Lunlun's eyes that he was
still bothered, as his eyes darted around and looked out of the window.
“We have spent a lot of energy and resources to handle the public relations side to protect your image this time.”
Nan Chen said.
“I am aware of that, Third Uncle.”
“If you were a normal artist, I would have blacklisted you and not help you in any way.” Nan Chen added.
“I am aware of that, Third Uncle.” Zheng Lunlun gave him the same reply.
Nan Chen started to get irritated.
Zheng Lunlun gave him perfunctory replies as he was obviously absent-minded.
He is definitely thinking of the woman!
“You have to be aware, don't get too close to her and let her affect your future. I do not wish to see such a public
relations related crisis ever again.” Nan Chen said in a much stricter tone.
“Yes, Third Uncle.” Zheng Lunlun replied sincerely.
However to Nan Chen, it still sounded like a perfunctory reply!
Nan Chen closed his eyes and refused to speak anymore.
Seeing Third Uncle's eyes closed, Zheng Lunlun assumed that he was asleep. He fished out his phone and sent a
message to Ning Ran, “Are you having motion sickness yet?”
Ning Ran replied very quickly, “No, what about you?”
“Me neither, but why wouldn't Third Uncle let the both of us share the same car?”
“I don't know!”
“If we could share a car, it would be so fun!”
“Yes, it has been so long since we last had a game together. We had been too busy and there had been no chance
to do so.” Ning Ran replied.
Although Nan Chen had his eyes closed, he was not asleep.
He opened his eyes slightly and caught Zheng Lunlun busy texting away.
He needed no guess to figure out who Zheng Lunlun was chatting with.
Zheng Lunlun had no precaution taken at all as he thought that Nan Chen was asleep. He did not cover his phone
screen so Nan Chen was able to see a few words on the screen.
“So fun”, “no time”, “no chance”.
Anger curled hot and unstoppable in his gut. He could no longer hold it back in and he stretched out his hand to
grab the phone from Zheng Lunlun's hands.
He winded down the window and was about to throw the phone out of the car!
But this is an expressway and it would be too dangerous to litter on the road. Nan Chen could not bring himself to
throw the phone out so instead, he chose to smash it down onto Zheng Lunlun's legs.
Zheng Lunlun was flabbergasted.
Although Nan Chen had always been rather strict to him, he had never once gotten physical. That was because he
did not have to get physical as his coldness alone was able to awe Zheng Lunlun.
This sudden action of his was indeed horrifying.
“Make a U-turn ahead. The activity is cancelled.” Nan Chen said coldly.
“Third Uncle, what......what's wrong? Wh......What......What did I......Did I do......Do......Wrong?” He was so nervous
that it did not take him to get to five words before he started stammering!
That was a really serious stammer from him. It seemed like the results from the past few days of treatment were
gone.
Nan Chen was initially raging with his blood boiling and a loss of his temper. But seeing Zheng Lunlun stammer so
badly, his heart turned soft.
He did not know why he could not control his temper just now. What is wrong with him?
“Forget it, continue driving.” Nan Chen let out a breath.
What he meant was that no U-turn needed to be done, and that they will continue to get to Tonglin County and
finish the activities scheduled for today.
“Third Uncle, I..... I...... I......”
“That's enough, stop stammering. Everything's fine.” Nan Chen was really good at adjusting his own temper. He
could calm himself down within a split second.
“Please don't be angry.” Zheng Lunlun said pitifully.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNan Chen picked up the phone and returned it to Zheng Lunlun.
“Self-awareness.” Nan Chen said these two words to Zheng Lunlun, who could not comprehend what he was trying
to say.
Just then, Zheng Lunlun's phone rang. It was a call from Ning Ran.
Ning Ran wanted to ask Zheng Lunlun that since his stuttering was still present, what would he do if we were to face
the reporters later?
Zheng Lunlun looked at Nan Chen and he did not dare to answer the phone call.
Nan Chen signaled him to pick up the phone call as he wanted to know what that woman was trying to do.
Zheng Lunlun anxiously swiped the screen upwards to answer the phone call and clicked on the loudspeaker
function.
“Blondie, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly stop replying to my messages?” Ning Ran questioned him.
“I am getting a little sleepy.” Zheng Lunlun said.
“I bet your Third Uncle prevented you from speaking, am I right? He is so old-fashioned, please don't listen to him!
Why bother with him?” Ning Ran said.
Zheng Lunlun did not dare to utter a single word.
“Is the Poker Face really preventing you from speaking? Wow, he really is extremely controlling, isn't he? I just
wanted to ask you that since your stuttering hasn't fully recovered, how are you going to face the reporters? Will
you get it exposed by accident?”
Zheng Lunlun still remained silent.
“Hey, are you there?” Ning Ran said.
“I am listening.” Zheng Lunlun said with his voice trembling.
“You tell me, how are you going to face the reporters? You cannot allow for any mistakes to happen this time round.
Your Third Uncle has done so much just to help you recover a positive image. I don't want to drag you down with
me anymore. I am just a side character, it is okay for me to be blacklisted, but you're an extremely popular first-
class celebrity, it is too wasteful if you were to get blacklisted. You got to perform well later to recover your bubbly
and positive image.” Ning Ran continued to nag at him, but at least she did not blabber things that Nan Chen did
not want to hear.
“Okay, I got it.” Zheng Lunlun let out a sign of relief. Luckily Ning Ran said something nice to redeem herself. If she
continued to insult Third Uncle, he would not have known what to do!
