“Ran?” Surprise laced Rong Rong's tone when she received a call from Ning Ran.

The latter was rather relieved that there were no signs of hostility or wariness in Rong Rong's voice.

After all, Nan Chen was alleged to have caused Rong Jilin's leg injury. With Rong Jilin being Rong Rong's brother and Ning Ran's relationship with Nan Chen, Ning Ran was implicated too.

Thus, she had been worried that Rong Rong would resent her, refuse to answer her phone call, or be hostile toward her.

Ning Ran heaved a sigh of relief when Rong Rong sounded normal.

“Yes, Rong. It's me, Ning Ran.”

She was rather excited to get connected with the lovely Rong Rong, who had been on her mind for the longest time.

“I know since I saved your number, Ran. I just didn't expect you to call me,” exclaimed Rong Rong.

Ning Ran recollected herself and asked, “Where are you, Rong?”

“I just returned from a trip to Epea. As soon as I landed and turned on my phone, I saw your incoming call. I'm still at Flower City International Airport,” said Rong Rong.

Ning Ran was thrilled to hear that. “Stay where you are and wait for me—I'll come and get you. Find a cafe and have something to drink while you wait. I'm on my way, okay?”

“Don't trouble yourself, Ran. I'm sure you're busy. I'll be fine since my brother has arranged transport for me,” Rong Rong uttered.

Needless to say, Ning Ran could not give up on such a great opportunity. “Just wait for me. I'll be there in a jiffy. See you soon!” she insisted before hanging up.

Thereafter, she turned and saw Nan Chen standing behind her, wearing a cold expression on his face.

“Where are you going?” he asked.

Ning Ran did not slow down a second. She grabbed her handbag and said, “I'm heading to the airport to meet a friend. I'll tell you the details later.”

“Which friend?” He seized her wrist, feeling rather suspicious.
