Chapter 78: Chapter 78

q Nan Xing thought that he had heard wrong too. Any woman would swoon upon seeing a diamond that big, yet she rejected it!

“Mr. Chen, Ding Mi isn’t refusing to accept this diamond, she is just busy with shooting the show so I’ll just keep it for her,” said Cheng Xiangyun whose eyes were glowing as she stared at that diamond.

Ning Ran rolled her eyes at Cheng Xiangyun and thought What a money-minded woman. His gifts cannot be accepted because he is after the children.

“No way I’m handing it to you,” said Nan Xing, “it’s for her.”

“Quit fooling around,” said Ning Ran, “I need to work.”

“We’ll stop shooting today. Take a day off,” said Nan Xing, “We’ll go pick up the kids together then have a meal as a family.”

“You don’t call the shots here. I have to keep working.”

Nan Xing cleared his throat and asked, “Who’s the director?”

Upon hearing that, Wang Yan wondered if Mr. Chen was drunk to behave so weirdly and even forgot about who the director was. Still, he didn’t dare to argue so Wang Yan quickly stepped forward and said, “I’m the director.”

“Ding Mi’s not shooting anymore today,” said Nan Xing, “Am I right?”

“Yes, of course,” said Wang Yan, “Whatever you say, sir.”

Nan Xing proudly turned to Ning Ran, “Hear that? The director agreed with me. Let’s go, darling.”

“I’m not going!” said Ning Ran.

“Don’t be a buzzkill,” said Cheng Xiangyun, “Just go with him.”

“You go if you want to,” said Ning Ran angrily, “I’m staying.”

“He is the father. You can’t stop them from meeting just because you don’t like it.” “Besides, everyone’s watching. If you refused to go, he would have no choice but to drag you away. Won’t that be embarrassing?” whispered Cheng Xiangyun.

Ning Ran agreed with Cheng Xiangyun. That idiot put on a show that big. If I refused to go with him, he would cause a scene and that would embarrass me in front of that Luo Fei!

Since there was no way out, Ning Ran decided that she may as well piss the cr*p out of Luo Fei.

Upon realizing that, Ning Ran’s attitude changed immediately and a smile lit up on her face as she said, “Director, sometimes it’s good to listen to Ms. Fei. Ms. Fei hadn’t permitted me to leave yet.”

“Ms. Fei?” asked Nan Xing redundantly, “who’s that?”

“Luo Fei. She’s a celebrity,” said Ning Ran, “And she calls the shot in this production set.”

“Who is Luo Fei?” asked Nan Xing loudly.

Luo Fei was so angry and ashamed that she wanted to flee and hide.

Nan Xing was acting like he didn’t even know who she was even though she had tried to hug Nan Xing just moments ago.

That insult was just too heartless.

Luo Fei’s face reddened with embarrassment then paled with horror before turning back to red with anger. She was trapped and it was embarrassing regardless of whether she answered.

The director noted that Luo Fei was in too much trouble so he had to step up to help her. “Mr. Chen, that was so funny,” said Wang Yan, “You already know that this is Ms. Fei.”

“You’re Luo Fei?” asked Nan Xing as he turned to Luo Fei.

Luo Fei was furious but she didn’t reply.

“I’m leaving with Ding Mi,” said Nan Xing, “You got a problem with that?”

Luo Fei forced a smile on her face as she uttered, “No, no problem.”

“That’s better. Still, there’s nothing you can do even if you’ve got a problem with that. I can leave with anyone I want.” “Listen up, guys. Ding Mi is my lover. From now on, she calls the shot and she can work and leave as she pleases. If anyone has a problem with her then they have a problem with me!”

declared Nan Xing.

No one spoke because no one dared to go against him. No one was stupid enough to do that. If anything, they needed to get on his good side.

“See that, darling?” asked Nan Xing proudly, “No one objected so we can leave.”

“They’re being nice because you’re here,” said Ning Ran, “They’ll make things difficult for me again when you’re not around.”

“If anyone dares to hurt you, I’ll force them out of this city!” growled Nan Xing before he walked up on Wang Yan, “You’re the director, right? If my darling ever got bullied in this set again, I will personally hold it against you!”

“Y… Yes, sir,” said Wang Yan immediately, “I guarantee that Ms. Ding will be protected.”

Ning Ran smiled and hugged Nan Xing’s arm before she turned to grin at Luo Fei who was on the verge of exploding with anger.

Ning Ran didn’t want to hug Nan Xing, but since Luo Fei failed to do so earlier, Ning Ran thought she’d try because if she succeeded, Luo Fei would be furious.

In the end, she succeeded, and Nan Xing was glad to see that Ning Ran was no longer rejecting him so he was smiling like a child.

The two of them walked on the red carpet while holding hands then got into the sports car.

The sports car growled and zoomed out of the set.

Luo Fei was so upset that she fell and sat on the floor.

On the other hand, Ning Ran was a little uneasy with the ridiculous speed that the car was traveling.

Must one drive so fast when they have a good car? thought Ning Ran. It’s not like driving faster means that he is more handsome.

“Darling, are you upset?” asked Nan Xing who noticed that Ning Ran was frowning, “Is the car uncomfortable?”

“Sir, we’re not that close,” said Ning Ran, “Please don’t call me ‘darling’.”

The sports car screeched and stopped at the side of the road.

“There was a crowd back there so I didn’t get to introduce myself,” said Nan Xing with a serious face, “I am your children’s father. My name is Nan Xing, and I am Nan Chen’s twin brother. I may not be as well-known as my brother, but I am more handsome and way more interesting.”

Ning Ran sighed. She guessed right. That was the Poker Face’s younger brother.

It’s hard to say whether or not the ridiculous man standing in front of her was more handsome than the Poker Face, but he was definitely more interesting.

“I’ve finished introducing myself,” said Nan Xing with anticipation, “Don’t you have anything to say?”

Ning Ran didn’t know what to say. She wanted to ask why he was at that place five years ago and ended up spending the night with her, but that was not urgent and the answer didn’t matter anymore.

The important thing was to find a way to prevent the Nan Family from getting custody of the children.

At that moment, it seemed like the man standing in front of her was easier to deal with than that Poker Face, and he was the father so no matter what happened, their connection cannot be broken.

Ning Ran decided to try and get along with this man or at least be on better terms with him than she was with that Poker Face.

After all, if that man joined forces with the Poker Face, she would have no chance of keeping her children.

“Hello, I am Ding Mi, an unknown actress,” said Ning Ran.

“No, not anymore. You’re not just an average actress,” said Nan Xing, “You are my lover. You can choose to retire, and I’ll be your breadwinner. If you really like your job then I can get my brother to sign you as an actress for our entertainment company, and help you become the most famous actress ever!”

“No, no need,” said Ning Ran quickly after hearing the Poker Face’s name, “I like it this way.”
