Celebrity Girl Is My Wife

Meanwhile, Ning Ran woke up early despite not sleeping well. She had not been checking Rong Jilin's Weibo, so she had no idea that the latter had deleted that slandering post and uploaded a new one apologizing to her. Of course, she was also entirely in the dark that Ruan Anxi had forced him to do so. However, someone did notice it. It was none other than Wang Xiaoou who had stayed up all night with the public relations team to think of a response plan.

Wang Xiaoou also thought it odd, wondering why Rong Jilin would take the post down so quickly and even apologize publicly. It took everyone by surprise. Hence, she called Ning Ran as soon as it was light out. She wanted to know whether Nan Chen had done something to pressure the Rong family, thus forcing Rong Jilin to change his tune.

Ning Ran also could not make heads or tails of the situation as she did not know what had happened. However, I do know that Nan Chen must be awake already. He always gets up early. I've got to rush over to Raining Pavilion before the kids need to leave for school. It was too late to go there last night, and I didn't want to wake the kids. It's better to head over in the morning.

When she arrived at Raining Pavilion, she was surprised to discover that the little ones were not yet awake. She had indeed gotten up too early.

The housekeeper was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, and she went to help. A while later, she heard Nan Chen talking on the phone in his study. She slowly moved closer, wondering whether he was talking to Luo Zhiyi so early in the day. However, after eavesdropping for a short while and guessing it was not the case, she entered the room to let him know she had returned.

He looked a little grim after ending the call. “Did you get back last night?”

“Yes. Since it was late and I was worried about waking the kids, I stayed the night at the old house and rushed over first thing in the morning,” she explained.

“What happened at the capital? You have to tell me everything now and explain every detail clearly,” he said, his expression serious.

“I'm sorry. I went to meet David without your permission—”

“I already know about that. DBA has informed us about resuming our collaboration negotiations. That's wonderful news, but what I'd like to know is what happened between you and the Rong family's second son.”

“Well, it's like this...” Ning Ran proceeded to recount to him what happened at the capital. She did not spare any detail, and he listened intently.
