My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 653 Too Naive

Lu Jingyuan only returned to the car until all the cars and people had completely dispersed.

“Wow! Ms. Lu, you’re so amazing! What did you say to him for him to back down and apologize?” Qiao Zhan asked.

“I simply reasoned with them.” Lu Jingyuan smiled. “Awesome. It’s all thanks to you, Ms. Lu; otherwise, we would

have been in a lot of trouble.”

“You’re welcome. Let’s get back now.” That morning, Ning Ran arrived at the set early.

“Are you okay? Did those people give you a hard time?” Huang Zichao, who had also arrived, approached her. Ning

Ran felt uncomfortable even though Huang Zichao had done everything he could yesterday.

Nothing would have happened afterward if he had not asked her to go to the bar with him yesterday. Huang Zichao

had made a rational choice then by pulling himself away from the situation as much as possible.

However, most of the time, overly rational behavior lacks a shred of humanity. “I’m fine.” Ning Ran gave a slight

smile.

She made a conscious effort to forget the events of last night to not let her emotions affect her filming. “Are you

sure? I’m sorry. I didn’t know that would happen; otherwise, I wouldn’t have—”

“All right, like I said, it’s in the past.” Ning Ran did not say anything more and went to the dressing room.

At noon, the director halted the shooting, and lunch boxes were delivered. It was then a staff member came over

and said that someone was looking for Ning Ran outside. As Ning Ran had been filming, he did not dare to interrupt

her.

When Ning Ran headed out, she saw an MPV parked outside. She walked over, and the person inside the car

opened the door. It was Nan Chen.

Ning Ran was stunned. “What are you doing here?”

“Get in the car,” Nan Chen said coldly. “I still have to continue filming after I finish my lunch. I can’t go now.”

“Get in the car. You can continue filming after having lunch with me.” “I don’t think that’s appropriate. I can’t waste

too much time…”

“We’ll come back after we finish eating. Enough nonsense and get in the car.” “Shouldn’t I at least let the director

know?”

“I’ll get someone to tell him. Get in.” “But I’m still wearing my filming outfit…”

“Just get in the car. Quit yapping.” Nan Chen was getting annoyed. Ning Ran hopped into the car and sat beside

him.

She noticed there was a crutch besides the wheelchair in the car. “Is your leg better?”

“Do you think I can’t control you because I’m disabled?” Nan Chen’s expression was grim. Ning Ran could tell he

was upset since the beginning.

“What are you talking about? You’re still you even if you’re disabled. Who would dare to mess with you?”

Nan Chen looked better after hearing Ning Ran’s words.

“Did you get into a fight with someone last night? How could you get into a fight with someone? Do you know how

big the negative impact will be if reporters get it on camera?”

That b*stard, Qiao Zhan, must have betrayed me. Didn’t he promise me not to tell Nan Chen?

“You came to Livingsfill to interrogate me about this matter? I thought you came to see me,” Ning Ran said with a

smile.

“I came to see the children. Do you think you’re so important that I will travel here for such a simple matter?”

“That’s right. I’m certainly not important. I get it,” Ning Ran huffed.

“You went out drinking with Huang Zichao and then got into trouble and fought with someone, didn’t you? Do you

think that by allowing him to stay on the set, I’m giving you guys my silent approval to mess around?”

“Huh? That’s not the right term. What do you mean by messing around? Huang Zichao was the one who kept

inviting me. He said that we hadn’t seen each other in a long time and that we should find a place to discuss the

script.”

“Is this the old trick in the book of discussing the script in the hotel? Isn’t it quite popular to have late-night

discussions of the script between a man and a woman alone in the entertainment industry? Believe it or not, I will

kick him out of the production team tomorrow. Ning Ran, I gave you an inch, and you took a mile!”

Ning Ran was slightly taken aback by Nan Chen’s sudden outburst.

She felt a little frightened.

“I haven’t seen you for a few days, and you’ve hooked up with him. Do you think I wouldn’t know since you’re far

away from me and you can do whatever you want? I’ll have the director terminate his contract and kick him out

tomorrow!” Nan Chen roared.

Ning Ran knew that Nan Chen was a man of his word. He gave absolutely no regard to the monetary damage at all.

“I was wrong.” Ning Ran decided to yield.

“What did you do wrong?”

“I shouldn’t have gone drinking with Huang Zichao and got into a fight with someone,” Ning Ran said honestly.

“Anything else?”

There’s still more? Ning Ran was utterly confused.

“There’s more?”

“Is there nothing else?” Nan Chen threw the question back at her.

Ning Ran was rendered speechless, as she did not know what she had truly done wrong.

“Could… you give me a hint?” Ning Ran asked weakly.

“You don’t know where you’ve done wrong, and you want me to give you a hint?”

“That’s not it. I’m dumb, so I don’t know what I did wrong sometimes. If you give me a hint, I may be able to realize

my mistakes more quickly.”

“I won’t give you a hint. Reflect on it yourself, or you can forget about eating and filming.”

Ning Ran was in a daze. Why do I feel like an elementary school student making a mistake and being punished by

my homeroom teacher? A homeroom teacher will directly point out the student’s mistake, but not Nan Chen. I have

to figure out what I did wrong if I made a mistake.

“I… shouldn’t have gotten into a fight with someone.”

“You already said this.”

“I shouldn’t have gotten physical, but he started it…”

“You’re repeating what you just said. It’s the same if you got into a fight or got physical!”

“Then what else is there? There’s nothing else. Is it because I shouldn’t curse? I didn’t even curse!”

“Cursing and getting into a fight is the same. Why can’t you curse at him if he does the same?”

Ning Ran was utterly dumbfounded. If he put it this way, then it seems like I didn’t do anything wrong. Why should I

admit my mistake? What should I do if I don’t get to eat if I don’t admit my mistake?

“I got it!”

A lightbulb flashed above Ning Ran’s head. I think I know what Nan Chen wants to hear!

“Tell me, what did you do wrong?”

“I shouldn’t have kept it from you after all these things happened; I should have told you right away! I will listen to

you from now, and I won’t go against your words!”

Nan Chen appeared less gloomy as his expression softened.

She’s pretty quick-witted to know what I want to hear.

“You didn’t dare to tell me and even told Qiao Zhan not to inform me…”

“I knew it was Qiao Zhan, that b*stard, who betrayed me!”

“Hmm?” Nan Chen threw a glare at Ning Ran.

Ning Ran hurriedly explained with a smile, “I mean, Qiao Zhan didn’t have to concern you with such a small matter.

It’s not worth your time. You’re someone who accomplishes great things. You don’t have to pay attention to small

matters.”

“Qiao Zhan is my employee. You think he wouldn’t tell me if you told him not to? Who is it who pays his salary? You

think you can win over my man and get him to cover for you and hide it from me?”

Qiao Zhan is from the Nan family. He will undoubtedly inform Nan Chen of any matter as the head of security of

Nanshi Corporation. I was too naïve to think that I can hide this matter from Nan Chen.
