Celebrity Girl Is My Wife

Jiang Zhe, who was typically low profile and cautious, actually turned out to be very arrogant when he chose to

show off his might. This made Ning Ran quite surprised.

The way he said “Mrs. Nan” made it seem as if I was one. He's sticking up for me as if we were together! But wait,

that's not true. I guess we are, sort of...

Soon, the director stepped aside to receive a phone call. He was likely going to confirm whether or not he needed

to apologize.

On the other hand, he likely wanted to wait for the present staff members to disperse before attending to this

matter.

After all, he was still the director of the program crew. His authority had to be maintained.

If an apology was warranted, the director would do it in private and not in front of everyone else. Otherwise, it

would be difficult for him to mingle with the crew.

When the director finished his conversation on the phone, he realized that Ning Ran and Jiang Zhe had left.

Immediately, the director caught up with them. He did not dare to just let them leave like that. “Ms. Ning, Mr. Jiang,

please wait!”

Jiang Zhe stopped walking. “I thought you asked for Mrs. Nan to leave? Then why are we going to stick around?”

Jiang Zhe understood how to respond appropriately to certain behaviors. As such, he was going to play it tit for tat.

Ning Ran only participated in this program to promote her movie. If things were messed up because of a small

misstep, it would affect the publicity of the movie.

On top of that, Jiang Zhe was sticking up for Ning Ran to elevate her status so that she would not get bullied while

filming this show. This was his goal.

Now that Jiang Zhe had achieved his goal, there was no need for him to drag out the conflict.

Given that the director was willing to apologize, Jiang Zhe was also going to take advantage of the situation.

“You must be joking, Mr. Jiang. What happened earlier was a tiny misunderstanding. Ms. Ning is an esteemed guest

we've worked so hard to invite onto the show!” The director had begun to grovel. “How can we just let her depart

like this? Ms. Ning, I am sometimes coarse and speak without thinking. Sometimes, what you say sounds completely

different the moment you utter it, so I hope you can be patient with me.”

The anger Ning Ran initially felt had already dissipated. She had only complained because she was in a bad mood.

Truth be told, she did not suffer too much from the way the director treated her.

It was just that the director had thought she was not a bigwig and tried to bully her a little, and that behavior stuck.

Ning Ran had not expected Jiang Zhe to act thus. He had used her status as Mrs. Nan to immediately put the

director in his place. Everyone was instantly silenced by Jiang Zhe's words.

As such, Ning Ran's anger gradually dissipated.

Ning Ran was far from vain. However, when Jiang Zhe referred to her as Mrs. Nan, which resulted in the director

being more apprehensive about her, Ning Ran felt happy.

Humans are always vain, and nobody is an exception. The only difference is how extreme one's vanity could be.

“You needn't apologize. I was also at fault, but I don't agree with your penalties. Although reality shows these days

are quite boring and lacking in engagement, why can't we do something nicer? Do we have to be so vile?” asked

Ning Ran.

The director smiled and replied, “I will take note of your feedback, Ms. Ning. We will also incorporate that feedback

into the next round of filming and try to make things more reasonable. If you have other comments, please put

them forward so that we can make this show even better.”

Look at how polite he is. He was definitely not this polite earlier. Sure enough, money talks. The one with the most

money is the one who gets to call the shots.

“That's kind of you. Will we continue filming tomorrow, then?” asked Ning Ran.

“If you're tired, feel free to take the day off tomorrow. Otherwise, we can continue shooting. I hope you forgive my

past transgressions. I'm truly sorry. I will consider your feelings in the future,” said the director apologetically.

“We'll continue this tomorrow, then. This is only a small hiccup. I do hope that it doesn't affect future

collaborations.” Having said that, Ning Ran extended a hand.

She was not a domineering person, to begin with. Since the other part had taken a step back, naturally, Ning Ran

had to follow suit.

“I appreciate your generosity, Ms. Ning. I think we are going to work together very well,” replied the director with a

smile. “How about this? Why don't we go out for drinks and some crayfish?”

“I'll pass. It's late, and I have to go back to the hotel for some rest,” said Ning Ran in refusal.

At the very mention of “hotel,” Ning Ran's thoughts began to run wild once more. I wonder if Nan Chen is out with

that woman at a hotel too.

When Ning Ran thought of this, dissatisfaction started to surge in her heart.

Just then, Huang Zichao walked over. “Ms. Ning, why don't we have supper together? I'd like to thank you for

speaking up tonight.”

“No, I'm quite tired. I'm going back to the hotel to rest.” Naturally, Ning Ran chose to refuse.

“It's still early!” replied Huang Zichao, not willing to give up. “I'll send you back to your hotel after we're done

eating. After working so hard today, you can relax with some food and drinks.”

“I think Ms. Ning is tired. I would appreciate it if you stopped harassing her,” said Jiang Zhe.

“Mr. Jiang, was it? I'm not harassing her! However, I can tell that you are very imposing, Mr. Jiang.” Huang Zichao

was quite unhappy at Jiang Zhe's interruption.

“I'm not imposing. However, I was tasked with keeping an eye on my boss' wife. All I'm doing is ensuring that she is

not harassed or picked on. It's also getting late. Maybe you should head back and get some rest too, Mr. Huang.”

Jiang Zhe's tone was neither humble nor overbearing.

Huang Zichao was about to retort when Ning Ran flashed him a smile and started walking toward the car.

After they got into the car, Jiang Zhe immediately sent a text to Nan Chen: Ms. Ning didn't pick up because she was

busy!

Nan Chen, on the other hand, chose not to reply to that text. Instead, he called Jiang Zhe right away.

“She's already off work, right?” asked Nan Chen coldly.

“She's just wrapped things up,” replied Jiang Zhe.

“Put her on the phone.”

Jiang Zhe handed the phone to Ning Ran and said, “Mr. Chen would like a word with you.”

“I'm busy,” said Ning Ran, turning away.

“Ms. Ning said she is busy,” said Jiang Zhe reluctantly.

“Didn't you say she's done for the day? What is she busy with? Tell her that if she doesn't take this call, I'm going to

drag her back to Flower City. She doesn't have to film that blasted show anymore!” Nan Chen was very upset.

Once again, Jiang Zhe was forced to be the messenger. He relayed everything that Nan Chen said.

Ning Ran took the phone. “Aren't you out dating some pretty girl? I'm surprised that you still have the time to be

concerned about my affairs.”

“There is one pretty girl. However, she calls me Daddy and you Mommy. Do you want the pretty girl to say hello to

you?” spat Nan Chen, enraged.

“Fine!”

I wonder if Poker Face is with some pretty girl at a hotel? That won't do. I need to confirm this.

“Erbao, come here and speak to Mommy!” said Nan Chen.

Soon, Erbao's voice could be heard by the receiver. “Mommy, where are you? What are you doing? Are you still at

work? Have you eaten? Are you tired?”

Ning Ran was unsure of which question to answer first, but one thing remained clear. She felt warmth penetrate

her heart as Erbao bombarded her with all those questions out of concern.

“Hello, Darling. I'm still at work. Why aren't you in bed?”

“I'll go to bed after talking to you. Are you and Daddy fighting? Daddy doesn't look so good,” replied Erbao sweetly.

“You needn't worry about him. That's just the look he was born with. It is what it is. Why should you pay him any

mind?”

“How can you say that? Is that an appropriate thing to say in front of a child?” asked Nan Chen tersely. Ning Ran

was not expecting Nan Chen to be listening in on the conversation.

Erbao, on the other hand, began to laugh. “So you are fighting! Please be good and make up. Stop fighting!”

Erbao's coaxing made Ning Ran feel embarrassed.

“Darling, Mommy and Daddy are just joking. We're not fighting at all! You should be a good girl and go to sleep

now.”

“Well, Mommy, I'm going to bed. Please come home soon. I miss you.”

“Okay, Darling. Goodbye!”

“Goodbye, Mommy.”
