My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 962 Shameless

Ning Ran woke up early the next day.

She felt much better after a two-day rest.

Although the incident with Rong Xiao still lingered in her mind, she pushed herself to focus on her work with utmost

dedication.

Today, she had been invited for an exclusive interview and photoshoot for a renowned fashion magazine.

The fashion magazine was highly renowned in the country. While traditional print media had seen a decline, certain

top-tier magazines still held significant influence, merging their print presence with the digital realm.

Only the top stars could appear on the covers of these top-tier magazines for promotional materials. Generally,

only appearing on the covers of the top three ranked fashion magazines could be considered breaking into the top

tier.

Hence, the company, including Wang Xiaoou, stressed the importance of this opportunity and urged Ning Ran to be

in her best form for the interview.

Ning Ran had extra time in the morning to prepare, as the children were at Commoner Residence and didn't need

to be dropped off at school.

As the children were not around, she opted for a simple breakfast, heating a few slices of bread and pouring herself

a glass of milk.

However, Nan Chen, who had become accustomed to elaborate breakfasts, looked at her with a hint of

disappointment.

Amused by his reaction, Ning Ran jokingly said, “If you can't bear to eat this, you can always ask Jiang Zhe to

deliver a deluxe breakfast from a fancy restaurant to the office. There's no need to force yourself to eat it.”

Taking a bite of his bread, Nan Chen inquired, “You have work today, right?”

Ning Ran nodded. “Yes, I have an interview with 'The Star'.”

“And do you have to shoot the cover as well?” Nan Chen further inquired.

“Yes, the sponsor will provide the outfits; there are ten sets to choose from.”

Curious, Nan Chen requested, “Do you have any pictures? Let me have a quick look.”

Ning Ran found his request a little unusual. She wondered why he wanted to personally vet the magazine cover

shoot outfit.

“No, I don't have pictures, but the sponsor is a renowned international brand. The outfits are bound to be

impressive,” Ning Ran replied.

“You are known as a talented actress, and you are also a mother,” Nan Chen said, his tone serious.

Feeling perplexed by his words, the woman questioned, “And so? Are you implying that just because I'm a mother, I

can't shoot for fashion magazine covers?”

“That's not the case.”

“Then what do you mean?”

Nan Chen's expression remained serious. “Don't wear the outfit if it's too revealing. Backless outfits are also off-

limits.”

Ning Ran chuckled. “Those top fashion brands often have daring designs. They wouldn't expect me to dress all

covered up, would they?”

He placed his cutleries on the table and said, “Even so, you can't reveal too much. Show me the clothes you're

going to wear later, and I'll help you choose.”

Ning Ran let out a wail. “Come on, Mr. Chen! There are so many staff watching. Do I really have to take pictures of

the outfits and get your approval before wearing them? That's so embarrassing!”

However, Nan Chen remained firm in his stance. “This concerns your image. You are a signed artist of the

company, and your public persona is crucial for your career and the company's interests. So, of course, I need to

be consulted!”

Given Nan Chen's firm stance, Ning Ran found herself with no recourse but to acquiesce.

As the formidable owner of Star Entertainment, he had the right to interfere with any matters, regardless of Ning

Ran's consent.

Moreover, he didn't need to handle the matter himself. He could simply issue instructions to Jiang Zhe, and

everyone in the company would be obligated to follow his directives.

After taking a sip of her milk and wiping her mouth, Ning Ran looked at Nan Chen.

The man caught her gaze and returned a cold glance.

“I didn't know you were so petty, Mr. Chen. You are concerned that I might wear something too revealing for the

shoot, huh? The protocols these days are so strict. Even if I wanted to bare it all, it wouldn't pass the approval

anyway. So, why are you so worried?” Ning Ran teased.

“I'm not worried. I'm just looking out for the company's interest,” Nan Chen hissed.

“All right. Thank you for the concern, Mr. Chen.”

Just then, Ning Ran's phone rang. It was a call from Lu Jingyuan.

She had taken a day off and invited Ning Ran to watch a movie together.

Ning Ran replied, “Oh, what a coincidence. I have to work today, so I won't be able to accompany you.”

Upon hearing that Ning Ran was going to shoot a fashion magazine cover, Lu Jingyuan immediately expressed her

desire to join and be a part of the excitement.

Ning Ran readily agreed without hesitation, as it was rare for someone as reserved as Lu Jingyuan to display such

enthusiasm.

When the call ended, Ning Ran found Nan Chen staring at her.

“What's the matter? Why can't Jingyuan join me at work and have some fun?”

Nan Chen remained silent as he rose from his seat.

After a few steps, he turned around and said, “Don't tell Jingyuan that I wanted to see your attire.”

Ning Ran burst into laughter. “You're aware that it makes you seem petty. Are you afraid of being laughed at?”

The man let out a cold snort, offering no response.

Initially, Ning Ran planned to leave with Nan Chen. Since Lu Jingyuan was on her way, she had to wait for her.

After a while, Lu Jingyuan arrived. She headed straight to the meeting place after dropping off her child at school.

As Ning Ran entered Lu Jingyuan's car, she received a message from Nan Chen: Remember to take photos of the

outfit and show them to me!

Unable to contain her amusement, Ning Ran let out a soft chuckle.

Lu Jingyuan turned her head. “What's so funny?”

“Oh, nothing. I was reminded of something Nan Chen said,” Ning Ran replied.

“Oh, what was it? You two are so affectionate that you laugh whenever you think of him.”

Ning Ran teased, “Nan Chen was saying something related to you.”

“Really? What did he say? Did he criticize my performance at work?” Lu Jingyuan asked, her curiosity piqued.

Ning Ran waved her hand in response. “No, not at all. You're so exceptional that it's impossible for you to perform

poorly. What Nan Chen said was related to something else.”

The woman grew even more intrigued. “What could it be, then?”

“Nan Chen mentioned that once, Nan Xing got drunk and called him, seeking advice on how to deal with unrequited

love.”

Lu Jingyuan paused for a moment. “What do you mean?”

Ning Ran chuckled. “Clearly, he was referring to you. Are you really so oblivious that you didn't catch on?”

Joining in the laughter, Lu Jingyuan said, “No way! He must have been talking about someone else. It wasn't me.”

“Why not?”

After pondering for a moment, Lu Jingyuan replied, “I can't quite put my finger on this, but Nan Xing has had

numerous girlfriends. I don't appreciate his flippant attitude toward relationships. And let's not forget; he once

mentioned his intention to pursue me and discard me. Would I really give him the satisfaction? He's deluding

himself!”

Ning Ran let out a sigh. “Nan Xing's downfall lies in his obsession with maintaining appearances and enduring

unnecessary suffering. His words were clearly meant in jest. You don't have to take them to heart!”

“No, I do take them seriously,” Lu Jingyuan said resolutely.

I need to find a way to help Nan Xing. They seem like a well-matched couple, and I can't let their connection go to

waste.

Just then, the text message from Cheng Xiangyun interrupted Ning Ran's thoughts.

Cheng Xiangyun informed Ning Ran that the filming team had already prepared the shooting location. Hence, she

wanted Ning Ran to avoid going to the office and head straight to the set.

After reading the message, Ning Ran discreetly sent a text to Nan Xing: Jingyuan will be joining me for work today.

Do you want to come?

Nan Xing promptly replied: No.

Ning Ran was overcome with irritation, witnessing Nan Xing's unyielding pride.

However, Nan Xing sent another message in less than two minutes. Tell me the location!

It was evident that he was trying to maintain his pride earlier.

Ning Ran replied: If you're not coming, I won't disclose the location.

Unexpectedly, Nan Xing transferred ten thousand to her bank account.

Ning Ran couldn't help but chuckle at his ingenious move.

She replied: Another ten thousand, and I might reconsider.

Nan Xing immediately transferred another ten thousand.
