My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 1003

Chapter 1003 Do Not Blame Me

The meeting took place at a private club, where Qiao Zhan invited the person to meet.

The arrangement was handled with proper decorum.

Ning Ran got out of the car and exchanged pleasantries with Qiao Zhan.

“Did he reveal his identity to you?” Ning Ran asked.

Qiao Zhan appeared somewhat hesitant. “He didn't disclose it. But he was very courteous.”

Ning Ran could not quite comprehend what he meant. “Courteous?”

Qiao Zhan responded with a serious nod. “Yes. Courteous.”

“Why does he want to see me? Did he explain that?” Ning Ran continued asking.

“He just wanted to see you, that's all. By the way, Sir Chen approved the arrangement, so if you're unhappy about it, please don't blame me,” Qiao Zhan said.

His remark got Ning Ran even more confused. Why would this meeting make me unhappy? Is he unattractive? Or are there any other reasons that might upset me when I meet that man?

“What do you mean? I feel you're keeping a lot of things from me.” Ning Ran pressed on.

Qiao Zhan hurriedly gestured. “No, no, absolutely not! You should go in and meet him. He has been waiting for you for quite some time.”

Ning Ran knew how tight-lipped Qiao Zhan was, and if Nan Chen wanted him to keep something a secret, Qiao Zhan would never divulge the information. Well, I guess I have to see for myself.

Nonetheless, she was confident that meeting the man would not jeopardize her safety. Otherwise, Nan Chen would not have permitted it to happen.

After entering the room, Ning Ran was taken aback by what she saw.

Sitting on an Epean leather couch was a middle-aged man in his fifties.

Clad in a black suit, he looked a little frail and skinny. His gray hair was combed backward, and he possessed a distinguished air about him.

It might not be entirely appropriate to describe someone of his age as “handsome,” but it was evident that he exuded a pleasant demeanor. One could tell that he must have been extraordinarily attractive in his younger days.

The man still emanated a steady and elegant aura. It was evident that he must be an influential figure, and his presence commanded respect and admiration.

Despite his age, women would still find him charming and captivating.

The middle-aged man, with a slightly trembling lip, anxiously stood up from the couch as soon as he saw Ning Ran. He nodded in acknowledgment but could not utter a word.

He was extremely nervous.

Ning Ran had not met him before, but she recognized him.

After learning some things about him, she had once searched his name on the internet and seen the photos he had publicly released in the media a few years back.

Over the years, he gradually withdrew from the limelight and rarely appeared in the media.

He appeared to have lost weight, and his hair had significantly grayed, giving him a distinct appearance that deviated from what one would typically expect for someone his age.

However, Ning Ran, though her heart was also racing, pretended not to recognize him and responded with a polite nod.

“Please, come and have a seat,” the man said, his nerves getting the better of him.

Every movement he made was graceful and refined, exuding an air of sophistication.

Ning Ran was also apprehensive, but she put on a facade of composure as she slowly took a seat across from him.

“I'm Rong Xiao. Rong Yi's father.” The middle-aged man introduced himself.

Ning Ran nodded slightly and greeted him politely, “Nice to meet you.”

Rong Xiao froze for a moment, his feelings stung by her calm and composed demeanor. However, he quickly composed himself and managed to flash a forced grin.

“You don't have to be afraid of me. I visited your school today, not with any ill intentions. I just wanted to see you and the kids. Rong Yi told me about them, and I was delighted to hear about them, so I thought of coming here to take a look. I apologize for my abruptness and behavior.” Rong Xiao was so flustered that his sentences were all jumbled up.

Ning Ran remained silent, unsure of what to say. She did not feel the need to express either malice or goodwill. At that point, any response would seem unnecessary.

Upon noticing how quiet Ning Ran was, Rong Xiao kept mum for a moment.
