Nan Chen began walking up the stairs after she was done wiping him.

“Hey! Stop!” Ning Ran shouted at him, “Didn’t you say that you’re going to tell me a secret?”

“What secret?” Nan Chen asked without even looking back at her.

“Don’t play dumb with me! You said you were going to tell me a secret! How would I know what that secret is?”

Ning Ran after him, but he simply ignored her and went into the bathroom. After taking a shower and drying his hair, he came out dressed in a robe, only to find Ning Ran standing in the doorway.

It seemed like she had a lot to drink as her face was red, and she was still holding a glass of wine in her hand.

“You seem to be in a good mood.” Nan Chen shot her a glance as he walked past her.

“You could say that, but I’d be in a much better mood if you’d tell me that secret of yours!” Ning Ran said with a smile.

“What secret do you want to know?”

Nan Chen poured himself a glass of wine, clinked glasses with her, and took a sip.

“How would I know what that secret is? You’re the one who said you had a secret!”

“I did?”

“Yes, when you were downstairs by the pool.”

Nan Chen gave it some thought and shook his head. “I forgot.”

Ning Ran almost yelled at him in frustration. You forgot? Bullsh*t!

“Forget it, I know you’re just toying with me anyway! I heard that the new film will begin shooting soon. Thank you so much for that, Nan Chen! I wouldn’t have been able to make it this far without your help! Here’s to you, cheers!” Ning Ran raised her glass at him.
