Ning Ran dialed Nan Chen's number, but he did not answer the call.

Why is he not picking up his phone? Is he still throwing a tantrum?

She dialed his number again. Finally, she heard Nan Chen's leisurely voice saying, “Speak.”

Ever since Ning Ran called him shameless for no reason, Nan Chen had been acting indifferently toward her.

Things at work had been busier recently. Nan Chen figured he could play along since Ning Ran liked giving him the cold shoulder.

Little did he know, Ning Ran called him that day to extend an olive branch and stop giving him the cold shoulder instead of dragging it on.

“Are you busy? Did I disrupt your work?” Ning Ran asked softly.

“You did,” Nan Chen said coldly.

Hearing that, Ning Ran was at a loss for words.

She felt complicated emotions crossing her heart at that moment. With him sounding disinterested in carrying on a conversation with her over the phone, she wondered what else she could say.

“Should I call you back later?” In the end, Ning Ran had no choice but to give in. After all, she was the one who wronged him two days ago.

“You will only disrupt me more later. What makes you think later would be a better time to talk?” Nan Chen retorted.

Ning Ran did not feel like talking to him anymore after sensing his hostile reaction toward her.

But then, I have to talk to him if I want to communicate better with him.

“Can you stop talking to me like that?” Ning Ran compromised.

“Sure,” Nan Chen replied briefly.

Then, he remained silent and stopped talking.

Ning Ran was frustrated. I told you not to talk to me so coldly, but I didn't tell you not to talk at all!

“I am calling to tell you I saw that person from the production team.”

“Okay,” Nan Chen responded with one word again.

“That person is very strange. It's a woman. She seems to hate me a lot but also wants me to join their movie, saying she can pay me more. I can't read through her motives. Since you're smarter than me, I figured I could ask for your opinion.”

Sensing that Nan Chen treated her indifferently, she had no choice but to flatter him more.
