My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 780

Chapter 780

Ning Ran sat motionless in the RV. She knew that they were moving, but could not tell in which direction they were headed.

Very slowly, the movement ground to a half. Given that things had gotten so far, there was no point in getting anxious.

If she analyzed him closely enough, Ruan Anxi did not look too bad at all. However, he was too thin and weak, especially in his arms.

He had fair and slender arms. He was so pathetically skinny that one could see his bones.

Ruan Anxi took out some bread and milk, as well as fresh fruit.

“Why don't you have some? You should sate your hunger.”

Ning Ran refused. “I'm not hungry.”

Ruan Anxi decided not to coax her and promptly began to eat.

He seemed to be very particular about how he ate. First, Ruan Anxi washed the tomato twice before blotting it dry with some tissue. It was only after the cleaning was completed that he gently took a bite.

“Women should eat more fruits for the sake of their beauty,” said Ruan Anxi, giving the tomato in his hand a wave.

“Are you truly a doctor?” asked Ning Ran curiously.

“Of course. The medical university I attended is ranked among the top ten in the world. I am also the youngest graduate in the faculty. I specialized in surgery and did research on other topics, but I am just unable to cure myself.”

“Then why haven't you gone to work at a hospital? A doctor's duty is to save and treat, not kill,” replied Ning Ran.

“I dislike working at hospitals. I also dislike saving people. I only studied medicine to try and cure myself. But when I realized that there was no cure, I gave up.”

While the reasoning was quite sound, it was still a problematic one.

“Your illness cannot be cured via surgery because it appears to be some sort of infection. How could you possibly cure yourself if you specialized in surgery? I do believe there is hope for you. You just need to find an expert in that specific field to treat your illness.”

“Let's drop the subject of my illness. I'm already used to it. Let's talk shop. What manner of ties do you have with that Lu Jingyuan?” After saying that, Ruan Anxi took another bite of his tomato.


“We're just friends.”

“And what of her status?” asked Ruan Anxi.

“She's just a normal woman like I am.”

Ruan Anxi was clearly unhappy with the answer. “So how does a regular woman end up with the power to mobilize the special forces? They're all elites, after all.”

“Well, I'm unsure about that. Maybe it's because you're hardcore criminals which require a more heavy-handed approach to deal with?”

“Why does she do it?”

“She used to be a designer but she now runs a hotel. We rented the hotel she owned and that's how we got acquainted and became friends. That's really all there is to it. I don't know much about her, to be frank. But if you don't believe me, there's not much else I can do.”

“She caused the death of seven or eight of my men. I want to end her and her backers to avenge their deaths,” said Ruan Anxi.

“As I understand it, your friends kidnapped her, which resulted in this fiasco. You can't resent her for this.”

“You're not wrong. I never claimed that my people were completely innocent. However, they were all slaughtered. This is like a slap in the face to me, and it has affected my overall image as well. Therefore, she has to die.”

“You mean to say that your image is more important than the deaths of your comrades?”

“It's fine if you choose to interpret it this way,” replied Ruan Anxi.

Sure enough, he doesn't care about loyalty. The only thing that matters is his image. He's truly got the makings of a devil.

“How are you going to handle me?”

“I haven't thought that through yet. For now, just cooperate with me and tell me what I wish to know. You're already in my grasp. You're not going to be able to cover for Lu Jingyuan. All I need to do is call Nan Chen, and he will send over all the information I desire. In fact, he'd even ship Lu Jingyuan to me if I wanted it.”

Ning Ran shook her head in response. “No. He's not like you. It's precisely because he is Nan Chen that he will never do this. Sacrificing someone else just to save me is not his style.”

Ruan Anxi popped the last bit of tomato into his mouth and asked, “What is his style then?”

On the contrary, this made Ning Ran stop short and wonder what Nan Chen's style was.

Her Poker Face was by no means a saint. He could also be quite harsh, though he was not as severe as Ruan Anxi.

“Isn't he your partner? How can you not know what his style is like?” queried Ruan Anxi.

“I've told you this already. He will not sacrifice someone just to save me. He's not as selfish as you make him out to be, either. Nan Chen has principles and lines that he will not cross.”

This made Ruan Anxi smirk.

“What are you smirking at?” Ning Ran was a little unhappy at this.

“What you call principles and uncrossable lines are merely the result of the wrong price. All of that will go out the window at the right price. That's human nature.”

“That's only your opinion. Not everyone shares the same sentiment as you do. I also don't think you're right,” retorted Ning Ran fiercely.

In the face of Ning Ran's disdain, Ruan Anxi's once-gloomy eyes carried a little mirth.

No woman had dared to speak to him that way because of how ferocious he could be.

Most of the women who came into contact with him feared him. Even if they were intimate with Ruan Anxi, they feared him like he was a tiger.

It was only this woman who was different from the rest. She seemed to not fear him, having been daring enough to snap at him so loudly.
