My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 427

After leaving the main hall, Ning Ran stopped in her tracks. “We don’t even share any mutual friends, so why did you claim that we made plans with a friend?”

“Well, you did,” replied Nan Chen.

“I didn’t! Which friend are you referring to?”

“The friend who sent you his location earlier. He even reserved a spot at the restaurant! It’ll be so disrespectful if you don’t show up. I’ll accompany you there.”

Ning Ran’s greatest fear had come true. Nan Chen is indeed planning to meet Ouyang Qi!

“Don’t you have anything better to do? Besides, I’m not friends with Ouyang Qi. If you insist on going, go alone. I’m not coming with you!” snapped Ning Ran furiously.

“Are you sure you want me to go alone?”

“Go ahead. It’s got nothing to do with me,” scoffed Ning Ran.

“If I go alone, won’t you be worried that I’ll start a fight with Ouyang Qi?”

“That’s none of my business. If a mighty CEO like you starts fighting others like an uncivilized hooligan, there’s nothing I can do. You can do whatever you want.”

“Fine! I’ll go alone and break Ouyang Qi’s nose then!” yelled Nan Chen.

“Why are you doing this? Are you trying to threaten me?”

“No. Breaking his nose is my genuine wish,” replied Nan Chen.

“You don’t have to do that at all. It’s completely unnecessary!” Ning Ran was starting to panic.

“I think that it’s unnecessary too, that’s why I asked you to tag along. If you come with me, I might be satisfied with just a little chat with him. But if you don’t, I might actually fight him.”

“What for? Why are you doing this?”

“If you’re willing to come with me, it means that there’s nothing going on between the two of you. Conversely, if you refuse, it means that you’re hiding something. My company signed you as an artiste, hoping that you’ll advance in your career and earn more profits for the company. However, if Ouyang Qi suddenly barges into your life and causes you to be mired in scandals, it means that he has something against me! In that case, I’ll break his nose!”

Ning Ran was astounded. What kind of absurd theory is this! He’s forcing this ridiculous theory to sound logical.

But why does it still sound slightly reasonable?

Ning Rang understood that Nan Chen was forcing her to concede.

“Mr. Chen, have you forgotten about your identity? Don’t you think that it is unbecoming of your status to fight with a mere hooligan?”

Ning Ran decided to change her tactic. If she tried to resist him by force, things would not end on a good note.

“Ouyang Qi is not a mere hooligan. He’s the only son of Ouyang Duo and the heir of Sunshine Bank. Although he’s pretty useless, his family is rich. There are many female celebrities willing to throw themselves into his arms, thinking that they could use him to climb up the social ladder…”

Ning Ran could not stand it anymore. Is he trying to imply that I want to curry favor with Ouyang Qi and rise to the top?

“Mr. Chen, are you insinuating that I’m one of the female celebrities that you just mentioned?”

“I’m not. I’m merely stating a fact,” denied Nan Chen coldly.

“I’m not trying to suck up to him just to rise up the ranks. I’m not even close to Ouyang Qi! In fact, you’re even more familiar with him than me, right? If I’m not wrong, he’s Ouyang Qing’s brother, and by extension, your brother-in-law! In that case, you’re even relatives. Well, both of you should meet up and get to know each other better then.”

Ning Ran finally found a counter-attack. When she saw the icy expression on Nan Chen’s face, she was thrilled.

“Fine. Since we’re both acquainted with him, it means that he’s our mutual friend. All the more reason that we should go together!”

With that, Nan Chen grabbed Ning Ran’s hand and dragged her towards the car, leaving her no opportunities to resist.

“Fine! Let’s go, then. It’s no big deal!” retorted Ning Ran angrily.

This time, Ning Ran’s phone rang. Once again, it was a call from Ouyang Qi.

Ning Ran felt exasperated. Why is he so goddamn persistent? Won’t this make things blow up even further?

“Well? Pick it up. He’s urging you now. I can see that he’s only doing it because he’s certain that you’ll show up,” said Nan Chen coldly.

“Why don’t you pick it up instead? Isn’t he your brother-in-law? Since you’re relatives, it’s better for both of you to talk instead.” Ning Ran passed the phone to Nan Chen.

“Why should I pick up a call that was meant for you? That’s ridiculous.”
