My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 925 Nan Chen Is Indeed Nan Chen

“Ruan Anxi, what do you want? Why do you keep showing up?” Ning Ran demanded angrily.

Ruan Anxi let out a sigh. “I didn't keep showing up. It's been a while since I last saw you, and I've missed you. That's

why I came here to meet you, and your reaction is quite disheartening.”

Ning Ran insisted, “Then you should release me since I'm rude to you. Stop coming to me.”

Ruan Anxi responded, “No, your rude behavior toward me is a sign that you consider me a friend. Only friends treat

each other that way. People who treat each other politely are not true friends.”

Ning Ran was speechless.

What the f*ck was that? He can console himself no matter what I say!

“Your acting was exceptional. I couldn't hold back my tears while watching your movie,” he murmured.

Ning Ran refused to believe that.

Ruan Anxi was the devil incarnate, widely known as a cold-hearted and callous individual. He didn't seem capable of

shedding a tear while watching a movie. I wonder if he believes his own lies.

“Oh? Which scene made you cry?” Ning Ran purposely asked.

“I cried from the beginning to the end,” Ruan Anxi answered in all seriousness.

Ning Ran sneered, “Liar!”

Ruan Anxi insisted, “I am being honest! I even booked several cinema halls for my subordinates to watch your

movie. They praised it as a great film.”

Ning Ran had heard Cheng Xiangyun mentioning someone booking several cinema halls. She had no idea it was

Ruan Anxi's doing.

“Thank you. Can I leave now? I really need to get going.”

“I said I'll accompany you to do whatever you need to do. I won't disturb you.” Ruan Anxi refused to relent.

“I need to get styled. I have an important celebration party to attend tonight...”

Ning Ran felt a gush of regret right after she said that. Why did I mention that party to him?

“I'll keep you company then. Tell me the address, and we'll head there now,” Ruan Anxi replied.

Right then, Ning Ran's phone rang. It was Qiao Zhan.

The car Qiao Zhan arranged for had arrived, but the driver didn't see Ning Ran and Cheng Xiangyun at the parking

lot. Thus, he called Ning Ran to find out where she was.

Ruan Anxi's customized scalpel materialized from nowhere, and he gestured for Ning Ran to hand him her phone

with a smile.

He might be smiling, but his gaze was chillingly sinister.

Ning Ran dared not go against him and gave him her phone willingly.

“Chief Qiao, long time no see,” Ruan Anxi greeted happily.

“Ruan Anxi?”

Ruan Anxi responded, “Yes, it's me. I'm flattered that you still remember me despite being defeated by me.”

“What did you do to Madam? You b*stard...”

Ruan Anxi sighed and said, “That's quite rude of you, Chief Qiao. You're a remarkable person, and your only

weakness is your rudeness. Why would you curse me? Ning Ran is my friend, and I wouldn't do anything to harm

her. I'm doing my best to protect her.”

Hearing that, Ning Ran couldn't help but shake her head. He abducted me. How is that protecting me? I can't

believe he's lying through his teeth.

Qiao Zhan shouted in anger, “Ruan Anxi, how dare you abduct Madam in Flower City? If you even think about

harming her, I'll make sure you meet your end right here!”

“That's enough. I know Nan Chen calls the shots here, and I wasn't planning to do anything. Is it fun to keep

threatening me? Ran is going to her stylist, so I'll keep her company and bring her back home safely. Stop being

annoying and kicking up a fuss!” Ruan Anxi snapped impatiently.

“Release Madam now!”

“I already told you that I'll release her soon. I'm not trying to make things difficult for her. If you keep nagging, I will

order my men to plant explosives in a cinema and cause chaos. Let's see who would dare to watch movies in the

cinemas by then. Ning Ran's movie is currently being shown, and if the cinemas suddenly shut down, how do you

think it will affect ticket sales? You need to use your brain, young man. Bravery without intelligence is pointless. I

have to hang up now as I'm busy. If you want to invite me for a drink, you can contact me later.”

With that, Ruan Anxi ended the call and returned the phone to Ning Ran.

Ning Ran was fully aware of the man's lack of moral standards, knowing that he was capable of doing anything he

threatened. It was clear that he wasn't joking.

Qiao Zhan didn't have the final say on the matter since Ruan Anxi was a dangerous man. Thus, he asked Nan Chen

for permission.

Ning Ran was concerned that Nan Chen might be impacted and would do something she couldn't fathom.

The film was gaining a lot of attention, which was great news. However, any disruption caused by Ruan Anxi at this

point could jeopardize everything.

Fearing that Nan Chen might act rashly despite his normally level-headed nature, Ning Ran decided to call him to

advise against any reckless behavior.

Nan Chen's phone was engaged, so he was most probably talking to Qiao Zhan on the phone.

A while later, Nan Chen's call arrived.

Ruan Anxi's lips curled as he took her phone yet again. “It has been a while, Mr. Nan!”

“Mr. Nan is currently busy. I'm Jiang Zhe. Please get Madam to answer this call.”

It was Jiang Zhe's stern voice who greeted him.

Ning Ran was sure that Nan Chen was right beside him, but he refused to engage with Ruan Anxi.

He didn't want to give in or lower himself by talking to Ruan Anxi.

Jiang Zhe could agree to any possible absurd requests made by Ruan Anxi without impacting Nan Chen or his

dignity.

What a clever trick. Nan Chen is indeed Nan Chen.

Ning Ran relaxed as Nan Chen didn't act recklessly.

“Since Nan Chen is busy, what do you want to tell me?” Ruan Anxi asked.

“Mr. Chen would like to express his gratitude for booking the cinema halls to support his wife's movie. As the movie

has just been released, this is a critical time, and he hopes for your continued support instead of creating trouble,”

Jiang Zhe replied politely, but his message's essence was clear in the last part, “instead of creating trouble.”

That wasn't a threat, but the Nan family's influence in Flower City was enough to deter anyone from going against

them.

“Don't worry. I am Ran's friend, so I won't do anything that will affect her benefits. You can stay out of this,” Ruan

Anxi replied calmly.

He was saying that he could refrain from creating trouble for Ning Ran's sake, so they should stop putting up an act.

“I'm glad to hear that. I'll relay your message to Mr. Chen. May I talk to Madam now? It won't take long,” Jiang Zhe

asked.

Ruan Anxi returned the phone to Ning Ran silently.

Ning Ran retrieved her phone and spoke in a composed tone. “Jiang Zhe, there's no need to worry about me. I'm

heading to my stylist now and will be attending the party as planned. Kindly arrange an invitation card for Mr. Ruan

as well. I'd like to invite him to the celebration party tonight.”

Both Jiang Zhe and Ruan Anxi were surprised at Ning Ran's decision.

However, Jiang Zhe quickly grasped her intentions and silently commended her for her shrewd move.

Ruan Anxi was already in Flower City and had set his sights on Ning Ran. Clearly, he wasn't about to stop bothering

Ning Ran.

If Ning Ran didn't invite him to the party, he would definitely show up in an unpredictable manner and might even

cause a commotion.

Thus, it was better to invite him to the party. That way, he'd feel too shy to cause trouble.

“Sure, I'll get that done right away. Anything else, Madam?” Jiang Zhe inquired.

“That's all. Please remind Nan Chen to eat his meals on time and avoid overworking himself. He shouldn't skip

meals even if he's busy,” Ning Ran added.

“Got it, Madam.”

“Okay. I'll hang up now.”
