Nan Xing quickly explained, “That's not what I meant. I just—”

“That is what you mean!” Ning Ran said angrily.

“I-I was wrong. I said something I shouldn't have.” Nan Xing regretted it very much.

Ning Ran snorted coldly before falling silent.

Just then, the phone rang. It was a video call from Nan Chen.

Nan Chen had just had a video call with his kids. After learning that Nan Xing and Ning Ran had gone out, he was worried about them, so he called Ning Ran to ask her what happened.

On the phone, Ning Ran told Nan Chen about her entire conversation with Huang Zichao.

After hearing it, Nan Chen told her without thinking, “Just do as he says.”

Ning Ran put the phone on speaker mode so that Nan Xing, who was next to her, could hear it too.

He did not expect that his brother would actually listen to Huang Zichao. “Chen, what right does he have to boss us around? He was the one who invited Ning Ran to the show, but now, he's asking her not to go. How can he do whatever he wants? Who does he think he is?”

“Did he personally invite Ning Ran to the show before?” Nan Chen asked.

Ning Ran quickly clarified, “No. There is no such thing.”

“Well, that means it was all coordinated by the agencies previously, and Huang Zichao didn't know about it. Even if he knew, he must have thought it was just another job. But now that he's asking you to quit in person, and he is willing to pay for it, this shows that he is not doing this for profit. If it's not because of profit, it must be because there are other risks. If it's risky, why bother going?”

There was nothing wrong with Nan Chen's reasoning.

“But if he is the only one who is at risk and Ning Ran is not, why should we listen to him?” asked Nan Xing.

“Since there is a risk, why should we still go there? We should avoid whatever risk there is,” Nan Chen said.

Hearing that, Nan Xing could not find a retort. “You're right, Chen. You have considered everything thoroughly.”
