My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 463

Ouyang Qi adjusted his position and faced Ning Ran as he explained away. “Not really. Our families are close, so we knew each other since we were kids, although I can’t really tell him and his brother apart. The only reason why we don’t get along now is because of you.”

But Ning Ran knew it was all a bluff. “Stop talking nonsense and tell me why you agreed to work with Nan Chen.”

“My original plan was to persuade Ye Meng to go easy on you. But the people Nan Chen sent said I should just have a drink with her and have it recorded instead of wasting my energy talking to her. Like I told you, Nan Chen is not as good as you think he is. I’ll never do something this underhanded.”

It was obvious that Ouyang Qi was trying to make himself appear better by putting Nan Chen down.

“Yeah, but you still agreed to his proposal,” Ning Ran pointed out honestly.

“But he was the one who came up with the idea. He actually wanted to do it himself, but he knew he was not attractive enough to ask Ye Meng out for a drink. That’s why he had to ask me to do it,” Ouyang Qi said.

Ning Ran suppressed her smile and nodded mechanically as Ouyang Qi bragged away.

“What’s so funny?” Ouyang Qi asked, looking at her.

“Nothing. I just think you really have a way with words,” she replied nonchalantly.

Emboldened by the compliment, Ouyang Qi continued badmouthing Nan Chen. “He came out with a sneaky idea and pushed me into doing it. How reliable can a person like that be, eh?”

Ning Ran continued nodding as he talked on and on about Nan Chen.

“Don’t you agree?” Ouyang Qi finally asked.

“Yes, I agree with everything you said.”

“Good. Then we should have a meal together after you get a change.”

……

Over at Nanshi Corporation, Nan Chen flung a document file in full force at Jiang Zhe in his office.

“What is Ouyang Qi doing there?” he interrogated.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Chen. He happened to pass by and…”

“He happened to pass by? It’s not like the event was held beside a big road!”

Jiang Zhe almost slapped himself in the mouth for coming up with such a lame excuse. He quickly picked up the file and put it back on the table as he took the chance to think about another explanation.

“He must be there because he knew there was an event going on. That’s why…”

“I’m not going to let him play the good guy. Where is he now?” Nan Chen asked furiously.

Jiang Zhe stole a timid look at Nan Chen and replied softly, “They went to the hotel.”

“What? They went to the hotel?” Nan Chen sprang to his feet, sending his roller chair banging against the wall.

He reached for the file Jiang Zhe picked up and slammed it towards the ground.

“Ms. Ding dirtied her clothes and she needed a change. That’s why she’s heading for the hotel to wash up,” Jiang Zhe said quietly.

“She can do that at home! Why does she have to go to the hotel with him?” Nan Chen went berserk.

“They left the place in Ouyang Qi’s car. I guess Ms. Ding did not want to bring him home.” Jiang Zhe was doing all he could to extinguish the fire.

“That doesn’t mean they can just go to a hotel!” Nan Chen roared, sweeping everything on the table to the floor in a fit.

“Damn it!” Nan Chen shouted as he stormed out of the office.

Jiang Zhe dashed after him as he searched his pocket for his phone to call the driver.

In less than ten minutes, Nan Chen was already at the hotel.

By the time he arrived, Ouyang Qi was sitting at the lobby, looking at his phone leisurely as he hummed a lively tune. He felt a threatening glare piercing through him and he looked up, only to see Nan Chen charging towards him.

He stood up nervously and evaded his glare guiltily.

“Why are you here? Did you send someone to spy on me again?” Ouyang Qi asked coldly.

“Where is she?” Nan Chen questioned.

“She’s bathing in the room. Those people dirtied her clothes and she had to change.”
