Nan Chen’s phone rang. He immediately answered, “How’d it go?”
“They’ve agreed to see you!” Qin Lan said excitedly.
Nan Chen sighed in relief as well. Finally, a chance to meet them!
That was not easy!
“May I come in now?” Nan Chen asked.
“Sure.”
A few minutes later, Nan Chen appeared at the door of the clinic with two dolls in his arms.
Qin Lan was stunned. She had been friends with Nan Chen for many years, and had yet to see Nan Chen holding a doll.
Nan Chen was like a god who stood at the top of the Flower City pyramid. He was labelled as a cold, resolved, and distant person.
But now, here he stood, holding two dolls childishly with an uneasy look on his face.
Qin Lan frowned. Was this real Nan Chen?
“Nan……!” Erbao cried out when she saw Nan Chen’s face, but she had forgotten how to pronounce the word “Chen” due to the shock.
Qin Lan and Nan Chen were both surprised as well. This kid knew about his surname “Nan”?
“It’s Nan Chen.” Nan Chen said with a nod.
Qin Lan was going crazy from this. Nan Chen had proactively introduced himself!
This has never happened before!
Nan Chen was like an iconic landmark on the three-square acre land of Flower City. Anyone with a little common knowledge would recognize Mr. Chen.
But Nan Chen would rarely ever introduce himself proactively.
But today, he had actually taken the initiative to introduce himself sincerely to these kids!
“Hahaha!” Erbao suddenly burst into a giggle, “It’s him! It’s him!”
Qin Lan and Nan Chen went silent again. What is she playing at this time?
It’s him, it’s him？
Dabao was calm and expressionless, but his eyes were bright.
They had seen Nan Chen’s photos on the computer, and had secretly plotted to introduce him to mommy to be her boyfriend. However, they couldn’t carry out the plan as they weren’t able to see him in person.
Now that this person was standing right in front of them, even Da Bao was surprised.
“I’m Ning Sihan, and he’s Ning Sirui. He’s the elder brother, and I’m the younger sister. But we’re only a few minutes apart, because we’re twins!” Erbao started to introduce themselves seriously in her usual childish voice.
Nan Chen felt like the softest spot in his heart was being touched, or rather, struck.
Erbao’s cute smile from before had already won him over. He felt a strong, never-before-seen feeling of affection take over her, which softened his otherwise rock-hard heart.
There was a terrifying sweetness in that kind of affection, which left Nan Chen captivated.
Even he had no idea what was happening to him.
Er Bao finished introducing herself and her brother, and waited for Nan Chen to respond.
But Nan Chen seemed to be distracted. He just looked at Erbao and Dabao with gentle eyes and an affectionate look on his face.
Qin Lan saw Nan Chen’s expression from the side, and knew from her professional view as a psychiatrist that Nan Chen was in a state of submission.
His emotions were affected and even controlled by the two adorable angels. His heart was filled with joy and happiness, and at this moment, he had removed that “armor” that he protected himself with.
He had gone from being a “god” to an ordinary human.
“Mr. Chen?” Qin Lan called out to Nan Chen who was lost in thought.
Nan Chen regained his composure, “Oh, hi, pleased to meet you.”
Qin Lan’s jaw dropped. Nan Chen was actually capable of such polite speech? And he was able to utter so many words at once?
“We’re really happy too!”
Erbao was delighted, and was about to walk over to Nan Chen excitedly. She liked this handsome man from the bottom of her heart.
With the first being her brother, Nan Chen was the second most handsome man in the world!
But Dabao stopped Erbao with his gaze, motioning her not to go near strangers.
Erbao stepped back and climbed onto her chair.
Because she was too short and the chair was a little high, her feet couldn’t touch the ground and were dangling in the air.
Nan Chen was also very happy to see Erbao walking towards him. He had wanted to get closer to them, but Dabao had stopped her.
“Doctor, we want to talk to him in private.” Erbao said seriously.
Dabao nodded.
Qin Lan felt sidelined. You’re chasing me out of MY OFFICE once you see a handsome man?
“What do you want to talk about?” Qin Lan asked in curiosity.
“Something very important.” Erbao said seriously.
Dabao nodded again.
Nan Chen was shocked. These two angels wanted to talk to him alone?
“Why don’t you wait outside? I’ll talk to them.” Nan Chen looked at Qin Lan.
“But I have to be present. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to explain to the parents if they show up.”
Qin Lan was a person with professional ethics, after all. Although she could trust Nan Chen, she still found it inappropriate to leave the kids alone with Nan Chen.
“We’ll keep it brief.” Nan Chen said.
“Sweeties, do you really want to talk to him in private?” Qin Lan confirmed with them once again.
Dabao and Erbao nodded in unison.
Nan Chen nodded as well.
Qin Lan felt like she was losing her mind once again. The three similar-looking faces were nodding together with the same rhythm. It was as if she was seeing double, or rather, triple.
After seeing them nod with 90% resemblance with each other, Qin Lan felt it was okay to let them talk in private.
Qin Lan also deduced that these two children must have some sort of connection with Nan Chen. There was no way that they weren’t related at all!
Because they looked so alike!
Not just their looks, but their facial expressions and behavior too!
It was like looking at two mini versions of Nan Chen and an enlarged version of Nan Chen, as if they were cloned!
Especially the way Dabao looked when he was silent with that cold look in his eyes. Anyone else would definitely have thought that he was a mini version of Nan Chen as well!
“Alright, you guys carry on then. I’ll just be outside, so feel free to call out to me anytime.”
Qin Lan stood up and reluctantly walked out of her office, closing the door gently behind her.
The three similar-looking faces were left staring at each other in the office.
Both sides were full of curiosity towards each other, but at the same time felt like there was a long-lost sense of intimacy between them.
That intimacy felt innate. Although they have never met, it felt as if they were reunited after a long absence.
A phrase appeared in Nan Chen’s mind, “It is our first time meeting, but it feels like I’ve known you forever.”
Erbao was the first to break the silence, “Are you really Nan Chen?”
“Yes.” Nan Chen answered honestly.
“You’re Nan Chen, the CEO?” Erbao asked again.
Nan Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, “How did you know that I’m a CEO?”
Erbao waved her hand, “That’s not important. Just tell me, are you the CEO or not?”
“Yes.”
Erbao glanced at Dabao, and they gave each other a look.
It’s him, there’s no mistake about it!
“One will search high and low……” Erbao scratched her head as she tried to say an idiom, forgot the rest after a few words.
“One will search high and low only to find it when one least expects to?” Nan Chen completed her sentence.
Erbao nodded, “Yes! That’s the one! Brother knows it, but it’s too difficult for me.”
“So, you two have been looking for me?”
“Yes! Yes! Yes!” Erbao answered.
“Why were you looking for me?” Nan Chen asked.
Erbao looked at Dabao for advice.
They were looking for Nan Chen so they could introduce him to mommy to be her boyfriend. But, she hesitated as it seemed too inappropriate and awkward to say it.
How could they put it into words?
