Ning Ran woke up early the next day. She was getting ready to have breakfast at the restaurant, before heading to the filming location.
She opened the door, and saw Nan Xing striking a dashing pose while biting a stalk of rose in his mouth.
Ning Ran was stunned for a moment, “Why are you so early?” “I can’t sleep, just thinking of you. And I know you’re going for a shoot, so I came to accompany you.” Nan Xing then gave the rose to Ning Ran.
“Stop it.” Ning Ran pushed the rose side and walked out of the room.
Nan Xing refused to give up and chased after her.
After arriving at the restaurant, Ning Ran ordered a bowl of plain porridge, an egg, a waffle and a slice of cake. The table was laid with a variety of food.
Nan Xing was surprised that Ning Ran had such a good appetite.
He on the other hand ordered a cup of coffee and a sandwich, and sat beside Ning Ran to watch her enjoy her breakfast.
“When a pretty woman eats, we call her ‘a connoisseur of delicacies’, whereas an ugly woman who eats nonstop is called ‘an uncouthly gobbler’. You, of course, are the former.” Nan Xing mumbled.
“What are you saying?”
“Nothing, just praising your large appetite.”
“I’m eating my own food, it’s none of your business.” Ning Ran was somewhat irritated.
“It doesn’t matter! Even if you’re eating my food, I wouldn’t mind.” Nan Xing said with a cheeky smile.
Ning Ran would rather spend time enjoying her food than entertaining him.
It was true that her appetite had increased, but mostly to compensate for the irregular meals she had during the filming period. On busy days in particular, she needed to eat more during breakfast, just in case her lunch hours were pushed to the late afternoon.
Nan Xing did not have that great of an appetite but when she saw how Ning Ran enjoyed her food, he was envious, “I want to try yours.”
Ning Ran rolled her eyes at him, “Shoo! Go order one yourself.”
Feeling dejected, Nan Xing pulled his hand back and continued munching his sandwich without enjoying the taste.
Ning Ran was done with her breakfast, and was ready to depart.
Nan Xing followed closely, “I’ll send you to the filming site.”
“Never mind, I can call a cab. Go do your work.”
“No worries, the most important task of the day for me is to be your chauffeur…”
They stepped out of the hotel lobby, and saw a black Rolls-Royce parked right there.
A man got down from the car. He’s tall, all businesslike, sophisticated and exuded an air of a royalty.
“Brother?”
Nan Chen was also stunned; he did not expect to see Nan Xing and Ning Ran walking out of the hotel together. Last night, did they…
“Brother, are you her to pick Ran?”
“Nope.” Nan Chen walked towards the hotel’s administrative office after answering him.
He could only walk towards that direction to hide the intention of his trip.
Nan Xing looked at Nan Chen’s back as he walked away, and was confused by his action.
No doubt Nanting No.1 Hotel was one of the subsidiaries under the Nanshi Corporation, but most of the senior management members would not report for duty at this hour. Why did he come in so early?
As he was pondering, Nan Xing’s bright eyes turned lackluster for a moment, but was quick to return to his normal self not long after.
After getting into Nan Xing’s car, Ning Ran remained quiet throughout the journey.
Her mind was busy processing the incident at the hotel lobby. She was not sure if Nan Chen was there to pick her, but felt there was such a possibility.
