My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 879 One Minute And Seven Seconds

In the capital, Nan Xing entered the Medallion Restaurant and saw a tall man who was nearly two hundred meters in height standing in the courtyard.

Donning a jet-black suit and a white shirt, the man stood motionless with his hands behind his back. His posture was upright like a towering tree, and his face which was angular and chiseled exuded an imposing aura that added to his overall allure. His complexion was tanned, lending a rugged attractiveness to his already striking appearance.

Nan Xing knew that Lu Jingyuan had a very capable older brother, but he didn't expect the man to not only be capable but also tall and handsome. I don't think I'm in any way inferior to him. It's just that we're different in style. But it's true that I'm slightly shorter than him. That's an undeniable fact.

What surprised Nan Xing the most was the man's temperament, which was completely different from the temperaments of the other influential people whom Nan Xing had met before. Nan Xing couldn't describe the man's temperament, but it was somewhat similar to Nan Chen's aloofness, though not entirely. Nan Chen emanated an aura icier than that of Lu Jingyuan's older brother, but the latter was not at all approachable, too.

Nan Xing sized the man up while the man scrutinized him too.

Lu Jingyuan, who was right behind Nan Xing, was very nervous. Taking a deep breath, she forced herself to remain calm. “Tiance, this is Nan Xing.”

Just like that, Nan Xing knew the man's identity without needing Lu Jingyuan to introduce the man to him.

“You're one minute and seven seconds late,” the man said, his voice deep.

Nan Xing was taken aback. Does he really time everything like this? We're just here for a meal. Is there really a need to be so precise with the time? What is going on?

“Tiance, we're just having a meal. There's no need to be like this,” Lu Jingyuan complained.

“We agreed to meet at six o'clock, and he's late. How do you expect me to trust someone who is late for the first meeting?” asked the man with a frown.

Nan Xing was quite annoyed. This person is indeed not easy to deal with, but I have to bear with him. My goal today is to persuade this guy to approve of my “relationship” with Lu Jingyuan so that Lu Jingyuan could leave the capital. Thus, for the sake of achieving that goal, I have no choice but to endure everything.
