Chapter 936: Chapter 925: Grandpa Ning, Calm Down
In the greening area of the park, Ning Fan and Lan Kexin stood facing each other. Both of them were at a loss for words, especially Lan Kexin, whose face was flushed red, looking extrely flustered.
“No, Ning Fan, listen to my explanation. I did say earlier that I wanted you to be my boyfriend, but I didn’t make it clear—I ant, can you pretend to be my boyfriend?!”
Lan Kexin explained nervously. At this mont, she was dying of embarrassnt. She had accidentally misspoken earlier.
She had rely intended to ask Ning Fan to pretend to be her boyfriend, but she slipped up and caused unnecessary misunderstandings, making the atmosphere awkward all of a sudden.
When Ning Fan heard that Lan Kexin rely wanted him to pretend to be her boyfriend, he imdiately felt relieved and let out a visible breath.
“Oh, so that’s what it is. You really scared for a mont there…”
“I’m sorry, it’s my fault for not explaining clearly. If it caused you any trouble, then just forget about it!”
Lan Kexin said hastily, hating herself for not making her words clear earlier. How could she make such a mistake?
Ning Fan waved his hand hurriedly, saying, “No need, no need. It’s not a big deal. Just tell what’s going on—why do you need to pretend to be your boyfriend?”
Having suddenly been asked to pretend to be Lan Kexin’s boyfriend, Ning Fan wasn’t sure what was going on. Although it wasn’t a big deal, he still wanted to understand the situation first.
When Lan Kexin saw that Ning Fan wasn’t upset, she let out a breath of relief. The blush on her face gradually faded, and after calming down a bit, she started explaining, “It’s like this: do you rember the last ti I took you to et my mom?”
“You an that ti? What happened with Auntie? Is her health not good again? I can go take another look for her.”
Ning Fan hadn’t yet connected the dots and instinctively assud Lan Kexin’s mom’s health was the issue.
During the last visit to Lan Kexin’s mom’s house, Ning Fan had specially prepared a new prescription for her, believing that following it would gradually improve her condition and eliminate her underlying health issues.
During that visit, Ning Fan’s impression of Lan Kexin’s mom was quite strong. Although the house looked small, it felt very warm!
“No, it’s not that…”
Lan Kexin stopped mid-sentence, struggling to go on.
Her face reddened again, and Ning Fan could sense so confusion. If it wasn’t her mom’s health, then what was it?
Suddenly, Ning Fan clicked on a key detail: Lan Kexin had just asked him to pretend to be her boyfriend, which ant the issue did stem from her mom—but not health-related.
“Last ti, my mom thought you were my boyfriend. I explained several tis afterward, and she finally believed . But then she started pushing to find a boyfriend. So…”
“So, you want to pretend to be your boyfriend so Auntie won’t worry about you anymore?”
With this explanation, Ning Fan understood the situation. The problem lay there, and it wasn’t particularly surprising. Since Lan Kexin didn’t have a boyfriend yet, it was natural for her mom to be concerned.
Lan Kexin asking Ning Fan to pretend to be her boyfriend made sense, and Ning Fan was already leaning toward agreeing to help her.
Just then, Lan Kexin looked a bit awkward and added, “Not exactly… I told my mom I had a boyfriend and asked her to stop nagging. She automatically assud it was you, and I was foolish enough to admit it. Ning Fan, you won’t bla , right…”
“…”
Ning Fan maintained a calm face, even finding it a bit amusing.
“What’s there to bla you for? This isn’t a big deal. I don’t think it’s troubleso at all. You just let know when we’re eting Auntie.”
Ning Fan didn’t mind. In his view, Lan Kexin was acting out of desperation, so it wasn’t really her fault.
Seeing Ning Fan agree to help, Lan Kexin felt a burst of joy. “Thank you, Ning Fan. You’re so good to !”
“Does this an I’ve earned a ‘good person card’ now?”
Ning Fan laughed.
“This isn’t a ‘good person card.’ I’m genuinely grateful to you—it’s so great that you agreed to help !”
Lan Kexin quickly clarified. Ning Fan’s willingness to help wasn’t just a favor; it solved a huge problem for her—not only alleviating her mom’s worries but also fulfilling a little wish of her own.
She still intended to keep her underlying feelings hidden. Even if it was fake, a brief mont like this was already enough for her.
“How about today? My mom’s been urging nonstop. Do you have ti?”
Lan Kexin looked at Ning Fan expectantly. Right now, her only concern was whether Ning Fan was available.
When Ning Fan heard Lan Kexin say today, he wanted to remark that it seed a bit rushed. But rembering how he hadn’t been at the company lately and noting Lan Kexin had already been trying to find him a few days ago, it made sense her mom would have brought it up several tis, making her urgency understandable.
Since he didn’t have much on his plate currently, Ning Fan nodded in agreent. “Alright, today it is. I’ve been pretty idle recently, so I might as well visit Auntie again and check if the dicine I prescribed works.”
“Thank you!”
“No need to thank . I already said it’s no big deal.” Ning Fan waved dismissively, a bit exasperated by how often Lan Kexin thanked him. Among friends, there was no need to be so formal. “By the way, how’s Auntie’s health lately?”
Taking the opportunity, Ning Fan decided to inquire about Lan Kexin’s mom’s condition, wondering whether the prescription had worked.
Speaking of this, Lan Kexin’s expression turned cheerful, filled with gratitude. “The dicine you prescribed worked really well. After taking it for a while, my mom’s condition improved significantly!”
“That’s good to hear. It’s getting late now; let’s head back. After work, I’ll wait for you in the underground parking lot.”
“Alright!”
After agreeing on a eting ti, Ning Fan and Lan Kexin returned to the company.
Since Ning Fan had a plan to et with Lan Kexin after work, he decided not to leave the company this ti and waited for her to finish so they could head to her mom’s house together.
“Looks like the big boss really has a date with a beauty today!”
In the security departnt, Zhu Xuetao glanced at Ning Fan and teased.
Ning Fan imdiately rolled his eyes at him and retorted, “Get lost! I’m just helping soone out—don’t start spouting nonsense!”
“Fine, fine, it’s my bad for assuming. But seriously, Lan Kexin is a good girl. If you’re interested, why not make it official, Mr. Big Boss?”
“Scram!”
