Huang Zichao was stumped.

He looked tense and embarrassed.

If he did not listen to Ding Fei, he would not be able to protect himself, and the latter would destroy him.

However, he couldn't bring himself to ruin Ning Ran just to protect himself either.

He was not a very noble person, but he was far from being mean enough to hurt others for his own sake, especially when that person was a woman he had a crush on.

Ning Ran was getting impatient. “If you're still not talking, we're leaving.”

“I'm getting tired of listening to his nonsense. Let's go.” Nan Xing had already lost his patience.

“Wait. I'm really doing it for your own good. If you participate in the show, it will do you harm.” Huang Zichao panicked.

“What harm?” asked Ning Ran.

“I can't tell you this, but please, believe me. It's for the best if you don't go.”

“I won't listen if you don't tell me the reason. I don't want to pay the liquidated damages.”

“If you don't go, I'll pay the liquidated damages for you!” Huang Zichao hurriedly said.

Nan Xing and Ning Ran exchanged glances. Both of them were surprised that Huang Zichao would say that.

Wouldn't it be better to film the show, promote the new movie and make money together?

“Is it because you don't want to be in the show with me that you're actually willing to pay the liquidated damages for me? Do you think that I'll drag you down and lower your status as an award-winning actor?” Ning Ran was somewhat unconvinced.

Huang Zichao sighed and shook his head. “That's not what I meant. Please, believe me. I really didn't mean that.”

“Fine. Let's not dwell on it. Since he's willing to pay for the liquidated damages, you can just quit the show. It's not like you must be in that crap show, anyway,” said Nan Xing.
