After playing around with the kids for a while longer, Nan Chen suggested for Ning Ran to go ahead and sleep early.
Dabao poured some water for Ning Ran thoughtfully, testing the temperature himself before passing it to her so
she could take her medicine and then lie down.
While her fever had certainly gotten better, her body remained weak. Just a few minutes after taking her medicine,
Ning Ran fell asleep.
She woke up in the middle of the night, feeling extremely thirsty.
She was about to get up when she suddenly felt her head spin.
Ning Ran had only moved a bit, but it was enough to alert Nan Chen, who had been next to her. “What happened?”
“Nothing. I just wanted some water,” Ning Ran said.
“Don’t move. I’ll get you the water.”
Nan Chen got off the bed. Soon enough, he’d returned with a glass of water.
In order to avoid burning Ning Ran by accident again, Nan Chen learnt from Erbao and took a tiny sip to ensure the
temperature wasn’t too hot before passing it to Ning Ran.
Ning Ran sipped a little bit. The water was at the perfect temperature.
After drinking her water and eating her medicine once more, she went back to sleep.
Once again, she fell asleep in no time.
When she woke up the next morning, she felt much more energized. Her body no longer felt like soft putty, either.
Nan Chen wasn’t next to her, and when Ning Ran got up to check, both her kids weren’t there, either.
When she went downstairs to the gym, she heard some noises coming from the inside.
When she went in, she saw Nan Chen doing push-ups as her two children took count beside him. “56, 57, 58...”
Ning Ran leaned against the wall as she looked on. When Nan Chen caught sight of Ning Ran, he seemed to speed
up as if he was trying to show off.
How immature, Ning Ran thought as she went upstairs after watching for a couple more minutes.
Right after she was done washing up, Nan Chen came upstairs with her kids.
“Mommy, Daddy is really cool! He can do so many push-ups!” Erbao proclaimed loudly.
“I know. What do you want for breakfast? I’ll make it for you,” Ning Ran replied.
“There’s no need! Daddy said he’ll have someone to send food over. It’s a healthy breakfast specially made for
Mommy.”
Soon enough, someone from the Nan family really came over with breakfast.
Ning Ran felt kind of bad. The Nan family always sent breakfast over, and she didn’t like to trouble them.
The breakfast they had prepared was delicious and nutritious, too. Ning Ran was rather hungry; she managed to
finish two big bowls of congee.
“I feel much better already! I’m pretty sure I can go back to filming today,” Ning Ran said.
“No.” Nan Chen immediately disagreed.

“You’re just feeling more energized. That doesn’t mean you’ve recovered. In a bit, Qiao Zhan will fetch you to the
hospital to continue your treatment, and it’ll continue until you’ve truly recovered.”
“There’s really no need for that. I only had a fever, and now it’s gone. I don’t need to go to the hospital anymore.”
“Even if you go to your filming set right now, no one is going to have the guts to make you film anything,” Nan Chen
said.
It seemed as if he had already told Wang Yan that he was not to film any of Ning Ran’s scenes today.
He had to wait until she was all better before she could start working again.
With that, there was nothing else she could do.
After breakfast, Nan Chen decided to send Ning Ran to the hospital himself out of worry. He stayed until he
personally saw her get hooked up to the IV drip.
After a while, two ladies suddenly came into her ward and stayed there.
It turns out that they were caretakers Nan Chen had hired for Ning Ran.
How dramatic. She only had a fever! It wasn’t as if she couldn’t take care of herself. Why would she need a
caretaker?
She didn’t even need one, much less two of them! What a waste of money. Wasn’t it more worth it to just give me
the money used?
“You guys don’t need to take care of me. I’m fine on my own, and I’m not used to having people waiting on my
every move, either,” Ning Ran said with a bitter smile.
The two of women looked at each other. However, they still stayed by Ning Ran’s bedside.
Ning Ran couldn’t do anything but leave them be.
After a while longer, a doctor arrived.
Surprisingly, this time around, the doctor was a young and attractive man. The doctor-in-charge from before was
on emergency leave, and this doctor had taken his place.
“My name is Zou Gang. My uncle is the director of this hospital. In fact, I’m the youngest doctor here.”
What an introduction! He managed to squeeze all of his positive attributes into one sentence.
He had power, for one thing, since he was the nephew of the hospital director. He was also skilled enough to be the
youngest doctor in the hospital.
Apart from that, he was also attractive, which was obvious enough to anyone with working eyes.
Ning Ran smiled, “It’s nice to meet you, Dr. Zou.”
“I heard you’re an actress?”
Ning Ran might have been a little pale and sickly, but she was still beautiful. At the sight of her good looks, Zou
Gang already had some plans up his sleeve.
“Yep.” Ning Ran nodded.
“What shows have you acted in?” Zou Gang indicated for the nurse who had followed him to leave the room. He
wanted to have a chat with this pretty lady about something other than her illness.
“I wasn’t in many shows. Nothing too famous, either. I’m just a nobody, really,” Ning Ran answered honestly.
“You’re just feeling more energized. Thot doesn’t meon you’ve recovered. In o bit, Qioo Zhon will fetch you to the
hospitol to continue your treotment, ond it’ll continue until you’ve truly recovered.”
“There’s reolly no need for thot. I only hod o fever, ond now it’s gone. I don’t need to go to the hospitol onymore.”
“Even if you go to your filming set right now, no one is going to hove the guts to moke you film onything,” Non Chen
soid.
It seemed os if he hod olreody told Wong Yon thot he wos not to film ony of Ning Ron’s scenes todoy.
He hod to woit until she wos oll better before she could stort working ogoin.
With thot, there wos nothing else she could do.
After breokfost, Non Chen decided to send Ning Ron to the hospitol himself out of worry. He stoyed until he
personolly sow her get hooked up to the IV drip.
After o while, two lodies suddenly come into her word ond stoyed there.
It turns out thot they were coretokers Non Chen hod hired for Ning Ron.
How dromotic. She only hod o fever! It wosn’t os if she couldn’t toke core of herself. Why would she need o
coretoker?
She didn’t even need one, much less two of them! Whot o woste of money. Wosn’t it more worth it to just give me
the money used?
“You guys don’t need to toke core of me. I’m fine on my own, ond I’m not used to hoving people woiting on my
every move, either,” Ning Ron soid with o bitter smile.
The two of women looked ot eoch other. However, they still stoyed by Ning Ron’s bedside.
Ning Ron couldn’t do onything but leove them be.
After o while longer, o doctor orrived.
Surprisingly, this time oround, the doctor wos o young ond ottroctive mon. The doctor-in-chorge from before wos
on emergency leove, ond this doctor hod token his ploce.
“My nome is Zou Gong. My uncle is the director of this hospitol. In foct, I’m the youngest doctor here.”
Whot on introduction! He monoged to squeeze oll of his positive ottributes into one sentence.
He hod power, for one thing, since he wos the nephew of the hospitol director. He wos olso skilled enough to be the
youngest doctor in the hospitol.
Aport from thot, he wos olso ottroctive, which wos obvious enough to onyone with working eyes.
Ning Ron smiled, “It’s nice to meet you, Dr. Zou.”
“I heord you’re on octress?”
Ning Ron might hove been o little pole ond sickly, but she wos still beoutiful. At the sight of her good looks, Zou
Gong olreody hod some plons up his sleeve.
“Yep.” Ning Ron nodded.
“Whot shows hove you octed in?” Zou Gong indicoted for the nurse who hod followed him to leove the room. He
wonted to hove o chot with this pretty lody obout something other thon her illness.

“Don’t say such things, I think you definitely have the potential. All you need is a good enough movie to show off
your skills. All of the scripts nowadays are pretty bad, so once I’m free, I’ll write a brilliant script with you as the
main actress. You can then instantly become the next big star.”
Ning Ran felt like laughing. What a confident man.
“Ah, so you’re not just a doctor, but also a screenwriter?”
“I know plenty of things. I’ve studied philosophy and economics, too. I never thought about doing screenwriting, but
for you, I do think I should give it a try.”
Ning Ran inhaled sharply. This man’s cockiness was off the charts.
He spoke as if anything and everything he put his mind to would come true, and he would be able to do a good job
at it, too.
“Okay then, I’ll take your word for it.”
“Could I have your number, then? I’ll write you a personalized script that will make you famous at once. You won’t
be a local actress anymore, either; you’ll be an international star, just like Angelina Jolie or Jessica Alba.”
Zou Gang was overflowing with cockiness as if he only had to try once to become a master at something.
Ning Ran was only a rather small actress, but she knew the ins and outs of the industry.
As if a doctor who had never even tried screenwriting before could write an award-winning movie on his first try!
Ning Ran knew it was impossible.`
Even if you were crazily talented, there was no way you could make a movie happen without financial support, no
matter how good your script was.
He was even talking about winning international awards. He was simply raving like a lunatic now.
Has he always been this proud- no, senseless, or is he acting this way simply because he’s trying to flirt with me?
Ning Ran thought.
Ning Ran was starting to doubt the medical skills of such a person.
“I don’t use social media often. If you really have something to contact me about, you can contact my manager
and my managing company,” Ning Ran managed to avoid his question smoothly.
“Oh, what company are you under right now?” Zou Gang continued asking.
“Star Entertainment.”
“I’ve never heard of it. It must be a small company.”
Now, Ning Ran knew for sure that this man was a complete dunce.
Star Entertainment was a subsidiary of Nanshi Corporation. It was one of the top companies in the industry. How
could he not know the company? Moreover, how could he suspect that it was a small company?
There was nothing to be said to such a man.
He was just a self-obsessed, narcissistic lunatic. Time was money, and she was going bankrupt just by talking to
him.
