Chapter 939 Schemer

At Raining Pavilion, the sound of a car caught Nan Chen's attention, prompting him to rush outside and check if Ning Ran and Dabao were safe.

Once he confirmed that they were all right, he let out a relieved sigh.

Even someone as composed as Nan Chen had been shaken today.

Before taking the children out to watch a movie, he had made thorough preparations, bringing along numerous bodyguards.

However, the reality was, no matter how well prepared one was, unexpected incidents could still occur.

The biggest variable was that he had never anticipated Ning Ran's overnight skyrocketing fame.

While Nanshi Corporation had previously ventured into the entertainment industry and had even promoted some stars, witnessing someone like Ning Ran becoming a sensation overnight with just one movie was beyond Nan Chen's wildest imagination.

He had underestimated the situation today.

Qiao Zhan's face was filled with guilt. “Sir Chen, Madam, it's my fault for not performing my duties and causing you both to worry.”

“No one expected this to happen. It's not your fault. Our safe return is all that matters,” Ning Ran comforted.

Qiao Zhan remained standing, awaiting Nan Chen's response.

“It's okay. You can leave now.” Nan Chen waved his hand dismissively. “The incident was unexpected. It's not your fault.”

Only then did Qiao Zhan feel at ease and leave the room.

Ning Ran took a seat on the couch, indulging in multiple cups of tea to regain her composure.

Nan Chen remained in his study, occupied with numerous phone calls.

A moment later, he came out of the room and cast a glance at Ning Ran. “What would you like to have for dinner tonight, Superstar?”

“Are you suggesting we go out for dinner later?” Ning Ran asked.

“Shall we?”

“Go? No way!” Ning Ran replied swiftly. After a short pause, she added, “I meant to say 'go' as a clarification. I meant that I don't want to go.”

“Once bitten, twice shy, huh? Will you never go out again? Will you just stay locked up at home all day?” Nan Chen furrowed his brow.

“I don't care. I'm not going out. It was too terrifying!” Ning Ran shuddered, still feeling the lingering fear from earlier.

Nan Chen moved over to the couch opposite her and took a seat. “Aren't you supposed to be fearless? Aren't you afraid of nothing?”

“Since when was I fearless?”

Nan Chen nodded with a solemn expression. “You're right. People fear getting famous like pigs fear fattening up.”
