Chapter 929 Have Long To Live

Returning to the banquet after the interview, she found it still lively; most guests had yet to leave.

Huang Zichao was already tipsy. “Where did you go?” he asked as he approached Ning Ran.

She could tell he was drunk just from his tone. As close as they were, some semblance of formality was necessary, especially during an event like that.

However, Ning Ran did not mind. “There was a brief interview which I left to deal with.”

“You're becoming famous, Ran,” Huang Zichao said.

Ning Ran froze. Despite being known professionally as Ding Mi, many knew her real name but called her Ms. Ding anyway.

Even Huang Zichao had always addressed me that way. It is strange being called “Ran.”

“Thank you. You taught me a lot about acting, you know. It is my honor to share a screen with you, especially for my first gig.”

Ning Ran did not merely say that out of politeness. She truly felt it was her honor.

Not every new actress could star alongside a movie star of his caliber; some veteran actors still played supporting roles in smaller productions.

“Treat me to supper, then, if you want to thank me,” Huang Zichao suggested with a laugh.

That sounds like he is already planning to go somewhere after this event.

Ning Ran turned him down with a smile. “I'm on a diet, so I dare not eat too late at night. I'll buy you lunch another day.”

Though the rejection had been explicit, Huang Zichao was not ready to give up. “You can watch me eat and get the bill.”

“It's torture to make me watch you eat while I'm not able to. Another day, then. My daughter is waiting for me at home. I must get going.”

Ning Ran turned him down again.

Huang Zichao must have drank a lot as he remained undeterred. “I won't keep you too late. I'll be leaving the country for a shoot and won't be seeing you for a long—”

Before Huang Zichao could finish his sentence, Ruan Anxi came over with a bottle of alcohol in hand.

“I enjoyed your movie very much, Ms. Ding. Not only did you play your role well, but you also looked good doing it. Cheers,” Ruan Anxi gushed.

There is only red wine and champagne here. Where did the bottle of whiskey in Ruan Anxi's hand come from?

Ning Ran could not drink whiskey as it was too strong a spirit for her.

“My apologies, I can't have it due to my poor tolerance,” Ning Ran refused tactfully.
