A week later, Ning Ran appeared at the Flower City International Airport. She was there to pick Cheng Xiangyun up. As she had gotten there 40 minutes before her arrival time, she stayed in her car while browsing through her phone.

The crew was already in their final stages of filming. The plan for today was to shoot the scenes which were unfinished due to Zheng Lunlun’s prior absence. As such, Ning Ran got to enjoy a day off.

Cheng Xiangyun had requested for Ning Ran to pick her up. She carried a few pieces of luggage with her, which made it inconvenient for her to take a cab. Since Ning Ran was free today, she gladly agreed.

The woman had specially set off an hour earlier as she was not confident in her driving skills. She was also worried that there might be a traffic jam.

To her surprise, the road conditions were pleasant. That was why she had reached way before time.

Ning Ran started to feel drowsy after browsing her phone for a while and decided to get some shut-eye.

However, as she was feeling tired lately, she ended up falling into a deep slumber.

After a while, Ning Ran was awoken by the ringing of her phone. It was Cheng Xiangyun calling.

“Cheng, have you landed?”

“Ran, hurry over! I’m caught in a situation,” Cheng Xiangyun sounded like she was in distress.

Ning Ran panicked and she asked, “Where are you? I’ll go there immediately.”

“I’m at the international arrivals gate.”

“Why are you there? Aren’t you supposed to be at the gate for domestic flights?”

“Just come here first! I’ll explain to you later!”

“OK, I’ll be there right away!” Ning Ran hung up and got out of her car.

She spotted Cheng Xiangyun at a distance. However, the woman wasn’t alone. Instead, she was surrounded by a few others.

Ning Ran rushed towards her aunt and saw two men and one woman closing in on her.
