When Ning Ran and Lu Jingyuan emerged from the hotel, they encountered a young man in a white suit in the lobby.

He was tall and good-looking but had a shifty look to his eyes.

Ning Ran recognized him immediately. At the press conference where the Rong family announced their strategic collaboration with Sunshine Corporation, the man was sitting right beside Ouyang Li.

Back then, Nan Chen had mentioned to Ning Ran that the man was none other than Rong Jilin, the second son of the Rong family.

Rong Jilin, too, spotted Ning Ran. After scrutinizing her in detail, he turned his attention to Lu Jingyuan.

Given that both ladies were beauties who would become the center of attention wherever they went, they were used to being ogled at by men.

Even then, the brazenness of Rong Jilin's gaze unsettled both of them.

What made it worse was that he came forward to block their way.

“You must be Ding Mi, the actress and Nan Chen's rumored girlfriend?” Rong Jilin spoke in a flirty tone, leaving a bad first impression on the ladies.

Despite knowing who he was, Ning Ran pretended not to. “We don't know you. Please step aside.”

“I'm Rong Jilin, Prosperity Entertainment's CEO. I'm here to discuss business with Mr. David. What are you doing here? Did Nan Chen send a woman to take care of something he couldn't? Is he trying to win the sole broadcasting rights for Nanshi Corporation by using a honey trap?”

Rong Jilin didn't bother mincing his words the moment he spoke.

“Shut up! If you dare spew such nonsense again, I'll make you regret it!”

Ning Ran was outraged by his words.

Truth be told, Ning Ran had met members of the Rong family before. The very first one was the beautiful songstress, Rong Rong. Subsequently, she met the elegant pianist, Rong Yi. All of them were extraordinary people whom she admired.

However, the Rong family son she ran into today was nothing but an annoying nuisance.
