Chapter 1818 - 1807: Huge Blunder
"Where does it hurt?"Ning Fan, doubling as the Divine Doctor, quickly began checking the pulse but didn't notice anything abnormal.
"Oh my... I can't take it, my stomach hurts from laughing."
Upon hearing this, Ning Fan's expression suddenly darkened. He realized that the tears were purely from laughter.
Just then, a waiter walked over with a troubled expression and said, "Excuse me, could you please keep it down? We've received other customers' complaints."
"Sorry. We'll leave now."
Under the gazes of other diners who seemed to think they were idiots, Ning Fan braced himself to leave, still supporting a woman so hysterical from laughter she couldn't stand.
Once back in the car, Xu Ruolan finally calmed down a bit, but the twitching corners of her mouth still indicated her current mood.
Ning Fan seized the chance to ask, "Honey, what was that all about? What were you talking about earlier?"
"Darling, do you know what Chen Min just said to me?"
Watching Xu Ruolan's mysterious expression, Ning Fan pursed his lips and said, "How would I know what you guys talked about."
Xu Ruolan enthusiastically replied, "She said we should get divorced."
Ning Fan was shocked, exclaiming, "What! Is she crazy? She said that to you too?"
"Too?"
Xu Ruolan grinded her little canine teeth and laughed sinisterly, "Honey, is there something I don't know about?"
Ning Fan replied irritably, "Don't try to con me. We really have nothing going on; she just said the same thing to me."
"You're the best, hubby."
After a compliment, Xu Ruolan said mysteriously, "But have you thought about why she would say that?"
"I haven't really thought about it."
"Why don't you guess?"
"I am not guessing."
Xu Ruolan whined, "If you guess correctly, I'll agree to that thing you asked for."
"Really!"
At this, Ning Fan was immediately excited, quickly saying, "You said it. A promise is a promise."
"Of course, a promise is a promise."
Xu Ruolan blushed slightly then emphasized, "But you must guess right."
"No problem. Let me think."
After a while, Ning Fan tentatively said, "Could she think you're not good enough for me..."
"Who's not good enough for you!"
With a thud on his forehead, Ning Fan grinned sheepishly, "Joking, just joking."
"Then could it be..."
After several incorrect guesses, Ning Fan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, surprised, "Could she have a crush on me?"
Ning Fan nodded, chuckling foolishly, "Hmm! I've got to say, she has no taste in fashion, but she's got a keen eye for people. She's got taste!"
"Dream on! Tasteful, indeed."
Xu Ruolan teased, "I think you've been thinking about her for a long time. After all, alone with a woman in a room."
"Heaven and earth know, there's nothing between me and Teacher Chen. Besides, what alone man and woman, isn't Nannan there too? She's a person, right."
"Nope. Nannan isn't a person."
With a fleeting thought, Ning Fan quickly added, "Honey, if you don't trust me, ask Nannan. If you don't trust my words, you should trust hers."
"Alright, I wrongly accused you."
While speaking, a blush of embarrassment flashed across Xu Ruolan's face.
After all, her husband being alone with another woman in another house.
Xu Ruolan wasn't so big-hearted as to ignore it.
While giving Nannan a bath, she indirectly asked about related topics.
The answers she got naturally satisfied Xu Ruolan; otherwise, she would have transferred Nannan to another school long ago.
Xu Ruolan didn't know.
Not only was there nothing between Ning Fan and Chen Min, even if there were, Nannan wouldn't tell. The little girl is quite shrewd.
Unable to figure it out, Ning Fan had to give up, asking, "So what's it all for?"
"She thought we were fake married."
Ning Fan was puzzled, "Fake marriage? What does that mean? Do we not seem in love?"
Xu Ruolan sighed, "It's precisely because we don't seem that way that led her to misunderstand."
After listening to the turn of events, Ning Fan's image of an icy Chen Min shattered completely.
Ning Fan was filled with black lines, "Has she watched too many melodramas, how can she imagine so much!"
In the plot imagined by Chen Min, Xu Ruolan is an overbearing, privileged heiress, while Ning Fan is a dignified, bullied live-in son-in-law.
"I can't blame her. We really didn't do well, exposing many flaws."
At the time, Chen Min listed each piece of evidence of a fake marriage.
Looking back at that scene, Xu Ruolan still chuckles, but she has to admit, Chen Min's doubts weren't unfounded.
But the true situation was a far cry from reality.
It was the stark contrast that led to the comedic effect, making Xu Ruolan laugh uncontrollably.
Ning Fan wondered, "Even if we were fake spouses, what does that have to do with her?"
"Because she thinks you're a good person."
Ning Fan, suspecting a trap, quickly said, "Honey, don't mess around, let's talk about the serious stuff first."
"I'm talking about serious stuff."
Xu Ruolan laughed while speaking, "In Chen Min's eyes, you're a kind, responsible good man. She couldn't bear..."
Xu Ruolan couldn't continue, bursting into laughter so hard she couldn't breathe.
"Honey, have you laughed enough?"
Ning Fan looked helpless, unable to grasp the humor since he wasn't there.
"Teacher Chen said she didn't want you to suffer my bullying or disdain, so she discussed this with me and also said... haha"
"What else did she say?"
"She said she'd repay any money or favor you owe us."
Xu Ruolan couldn't hold it any longer, laughing until tears flowed, "Chen Min even thought you were a slave exploited by our family."
"Chen Min really said that?"
Ning Fan was incredulous; he never imagined he'd be so highly regarded by Chen Min.
"Of course it's true. I just understood why Chen Min paid to buy the gift that day."
After speaking, Xu Ruolan laughed, "Congratulations, darling, you've been pampered."
"I'll go find her right now."
Xu Ruolan shouted like a lioness, "You dare!"
"See if I'm joking."
Ning Fan pinched Xu Ruolan, then asked, "What happened afterward?"
"I told her the truth."
"And then?"
"Then she apologized and left."
Thinking of something, Ning Fan's expression darkened instantly, "You didn't tell her everything, did you?"
Xu Ruolan replied naturally, "Yes, including the reason why we chose Dawn Primary School."
"It's over, you've killed me this time."
Seeing Ning Fan's anxious look, Xu Ruolan was puzzled, "What's wrong?"
