Ning Ran was rather amused by Zheng Lunlun’s reaction.
“What do you mean by this? This is how seniority works. You should treat me with more respect in future. I am still more senior than you after all.” Ning Ran did not care about him and put on airs.
“You wish! I will never address you as my Aunt! In your dreams!” Zheng Lunlun looked extremely anxious.
“We will put this matter aside for now. I have an important question to ask you and you have to answer me seriously.” Ning Ran grabbed onto Zheng Lunlun’s collar.
“Let go of me now! How can you be so violent! You’re a lady!”
“Let me ask you. If one day, I am in bad terms with the poker face, who’s side will you be on?”
Zheng Lunlun sulked, “Can you ask something else? This question is tricky……”
“You must give me an answer. Will you be on his side or mine?” Ning Ran did not allow him to shun this question.
“Well, I feel like this is an impossible question to begin with! It can’t happen!” Zheng Lunlun shrugged his shoulders.
“What do you mean?”
“If you think about, let’s say you really fall into bad terms with my third uncle, then it wouldn’t really matter as to whose side I will take. You’re going to lose anyway! Even if everyone from Flower City stands on your side, and you area all against Nan Chen, you’re still going to lose. So the best answer to this question is, don’t ever get into any conflict with my third uncle if you would like to live a peaceful life.” Zheng Lunlun gave Ning Ran his conclusion.
Ning Ran was hopping mad.
But she gave it a second thought and realized it somehow made sense.
“So are we good buddies?” Ning Ran stared into Zheng Lunlun’s eyes, not letting go of his collar.
“Yes, that’s for sure! Speaking of that, you haven’t been gaming with me for quite some time.”
“If we are good buddies, I’m sure you wouldn’t allow me to get hurt right?”
“What are you trying to say?” Zheng Lunlun felt empty, “You are asking me to stand on your side to be against my third uncle? I don’t mind if you provoke anyone but not if you’re thinking of provoking the most difficult person in Flower City.”
“You will not let me get hurt by anyone else right?”
“What if I said I will?”
“Then I will hurt you now!” Ning Ran raised her fist at him.
“Of course not. We are best brothers; I will never allow you to get hurt.” Zheng Lunlun said with bitterness swept across his face.
“From today onwards, you will be my undercover in the Nan family!” Ning Ran said cheekily.
“Undercover?”
“Yes. I might be having some scuffles with them in future but I am no match for them as they’re way too powerful. I need your support to instruct me on how to deal with them.” Ning Ran said.
“Well this……” Zheng Lunlun looked like he was in agony.
“You promised me just now! Are you taking back your words?” Ning Ran got angered again.
“It’s not that I am taking back my words but I’ve never tried doing such a thing before. What do you what me to do? Even though I am not related by blood to the Nan family, but there is a bond between us…”
“I am not asking you to betray the Nan family. I am just asking you to help me get intel when necessary. Relax!”
“Alright, I might not be good at this but I will try my best.”
……
For the rest of the day, Zheng Lunlun was busy rushing to keep up with the work progress as he had left the province for a few days.
As Ning Ran’s screen time was the same as that of a first female lead, most of the scenes involve only her and Zheng Lunlun.
Occasionally there would be Luo Fei and Zhao Mingjie in the scene, but their screen time was extremely little.
It was already late at night when the team finished their work for the day. Zheng Lunlun suggested to send Ning Ran back.
Ning Ran and he are rather familiar with each other so without hesitation, she hopped onto his car.
She only realized that her handphone was missing upon reaching home.
She took Cheng Xiangyun’s phone and dialed her own number. Zheng Lunlun picked up the call. It seems that she had left her phone in his car.
