Chapter 693 Better

“What’s this? Why did you even go to a place like that? Since when did you like partying?” Cheng Xiangyun asked. “I don’t like partying. I was there with Lu Jingyuan to look for someone. I didn’t expect people to capture that on camera.”

“Were you there to look for that prick? Did Lu Jingyuan bring you to see him?” “Yeah. We went to settle some stuff, not to have fun.”

Cheng Xiangyun was worried sick. “What should we do now? They have it on camera that you were with them and are even saying you’re seeing that guy.”

Ning Ran was equally anxious, but she could do nothing because she did not foresee that someone would tail her and take photos.

Suddenly, Cheng Xiangyun’s phone rang, adding to her anxiousness. “It’s Wang Xiaoou.” Ning Ran was also aware that the call meant the company had found out about that news.

After talking to Wang Xiaoou, Cheng Xiangyun informed Ning Ran, “Ou asked you to go straight home after you finish shooting and refrain from answering any questions if the reporters get to you. We don’t know the real situation now, so don’t make any statement.”

“Noted.” The rest of the day continued as usual with the shooting for Ning Ran, but for the first time in her career, Ning Ran had to do a few retakes because she was disturbed by the news that morning.

It was not until she forced herself to calm down that she could get herself to perform as usual.

During lunchtime, Cheng Xiangyun went over to inform Ning Ran that the news about her had become a trending topic online, but on the bright side, it was just the sixth most heated topic discussed domestically.

The news appeared simultaneously across numerous gossip columns with catchy headlines that read: Breaking news! A star has the hots for a roughie!
