My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 222

Ning Ran continued to refill Feng Minsheng’s glass, urging him to drink. He eventually passed out on the table.

Ning Ran left the restaurant with ease. As she stood at the side of the road, attempting to hail a cab back home, she was approached by black Jeep that seemed familiar.

As the jeep pulled over in front of her, she noticed Qiao Zhan in the driver’s seat. There was no one else in the car.

“Young Mistress, please get in the car,” said Qiao Zhan politely.

“Wow, you are still following me at this hour? I must say, I’m impressed,” Ning Ran mused.

“That’s nothing. Ensuring the safety of the Young Mistress is my job.”

That was a good choice of words – it was neither servile nor overbearing.

I’m not following you as much as I was trying to protect you. Even if you think that I am stalking you, there is nothing that I could do about that.

Ning Ran understood the hidden meaning behind Qiao Zhan’s words, so she did not give the driver any trouble and got into the car immediately.

It was a free ride anyway.

“Where’s Nan Xing? I haven’t been able to contact him recently,” inquired Ning Ran.

“Young Master Xing went on a business trip to Europe. I was not filled in on what he is doing there nor when he will come back,” replied Qiao Zhan.

“Even if you knew, you wouldn’t tell me, would you, Captain Qiao?” Ning Ran chuckled.

“I would if I could, Young Mistress, but I honestly have no idea about his trip this time.”

“Fine, I get it.”

Ning Ran leaned back into her seat, intending to take a short nap.

“Sir Chen summoned me to his office,” Qiao Zhan suddenly piped up.

Ning Ran remained silent. She was curious as to where he was going with this conversation.

“Sir Chen brought you up,” Qiao Zhan continued.

He was hoping that Ning Ran would give him some kind of response. That way, it would be easier for him to transfer the message.

However, Ning Ran purposely kept her mouth shut, as she waited for him to continue.

Without Ning Ran prompting him to speak, Qiao Zhan found it hard to share about his conversation with Sir Chen.

The car fell into a deep silence.

In this moment, Ning Ran came to the realization that feigning indifference was actually a handy weapon.

As long as she remained silent, the other party wouldn’t be able to gauge her thoughts or feelings, and hence wouldn’t know how to continue.

“Young Mistress, do you not wish to know what Sir Chen said?” Qiao Zhan asked as he couldn’t bear it any longer.

“He was talking to you, so why would I need to know anything about that?” Ning Ran asked in return.

“But Sir Chen was talking about you.”

“I don’t have any interest in that,” replied Ning Ran.

Qiao Zhan had no choice but to come clean.

“Sir Chen said that he does not like the idea of you meeting the guy named Feng.”

“Oh,” Ning Ran replied casually.

Qiao Zhan’s intention was to tell Ning Ran about the matter without offending her.

Knowing that there was a high possibility that Ning Ran would marry into the Nan Family, Qiao Zhan didn’t want to be in her bad books.

If he were to be on bad terms with Ning Ran, he would be in deep trouble once she really became the Young Mistress of the family.

While Qiao Zhan might be a brawny man, he was by no means a dumb one. He had to draw up a good strategy.

After some thought, he finally came to an answer. He decided that it would be best to reveal bits and pieces of the message and give her a vague impression. Then, he would leave Ning Ran to interpret the message by herself. Not only would this help him accomplish his task, it would also spare him from the risk of offending Ning Ran.

However, he did not anticipate that Ning Ran would not take the bait.

“Since it was not to Sir Chen’s liking, could you please refrain from having any interactions with that man from now on?” Resigned, Qiao Zhan gave up on his initial plan and bluntly stated Master Chen’s request.

“So I’ll have to stop seeing Feng Minsheng just because Sir Chen doesn’t like it? Is he going to stop talking to someone just because I told him I don’t like it?”

Qiao Zhan couldn’t help but sigh. I wonder how mad Sir Chen would be if he learns about this.

Ning Ran wanted to laugh. Even if you didn’t stop me, I wouldn’t want to hang around that liar! Go ahead and obstruct us!

I was worried that I would offend you, that was why I gave you prior notice. But you don’t seem to care at all, so what should I do now?

To make matters worse, the request from the young master was also vague.
