As Ning Ran didn't utter a word, Nan Zhengde assumed she was against it.

“I was going to ask my wife to have this conversation with you because I thought it was going to be easier when you're both women, but I ultimately decided to speak with you directly as it's important. I'm worried that she might not convey my message accurately, so please let me know if you disagree with anything I say.” Nan Zhengde made his tone sound as gently as possible, for he didn't want to stress Ning Ran out.

“I get what you mean, Mr. Nan. The wife of Nanshi Corporation's CEO isn't just an identity. As Nan Chen's wife, I need to be capable enough,” Ning Ran said.

Nan Zhengde nodded profusely. “I knew you'd understand what I mean. I like the fact that you're sensible.”

“Despite that, I currently enjoy being an actress. I believe that working hard is the most secure way to survive without sacrificing my self-respect. I could choose to stop working and rely on Nan Chen for financial support to lead a lavish lifestyle, but that isn't what I desire.”

Nan Zhengde was straightforward with his thoughts, so Ning Ran didn't hold back and spoke candidly as well.

Hearing her words, Nan Zhengde fell silent.

In actuality, he had already talked to Nan Chen and expressed his thoughts clearly to the latter.

As he believed that Nan Chen and Ning Ran had effectively communicated and resolved the issue, he was surprised when Ning Ran opposed his statements.

Nevertheless, he appreciated Ning Ran's humility and her ability to express herself clearly.

“Young lady, in life we often have to make choices. You can't have everything you want. To attain something, you have to give up something else. If you're too greedy and want everything, in the end, you'll end up with nothing,” Nan Zhengde told her solemnly, looking her straight in the eye.

Ning Ran pondered over his words and couldn't agree more with him.

Life was about making choices at different stages, and making different choices would bring about different results.

No one was certain which option was correct.

Perhaps each choice and its corresponding outcome would have its own pros and cons.

If that was the case, how should one make a choice? Naturally, one should make a choice that would bring happiness.
