Chapter 548


    Staring at Nan Chen, Ning Ran had no idea what was going through his mind.


    “If you don''t feel this is suitable, we can think of something else,” Ning Ran replied meekly.


    “Tell me. What else do you have in mind?” Nan Chen remarked coldly.


    Oh no, he disagrees with what I''vee up with after racking my brains the entire day. Just when I


    thought I came up with a good plot, I didn''t expect him to disapprove of it.


    “As of now, I can''t think of anything else,” Ning Ran replied with resignation.


    “In that case, we''ll go with this one,” Nan Chen asserted.


    “Huh?” Ning Ran was stunned. “Weren''t you against it?”


    “I didn''t say I was against it. I just thought that you had alternatives and wanted to listen to them. Since


    you don''t have any, we''ll just go with this,” Nan Chen exined.


    “That''s wonderful! I''ll give the screenwriter a call right away. He has been waiting for my answer.”


    “For anything rted to work, it''s better if you send an email so that you will have an audit trail. If you


    call him, he might not fully understand you. Even if he does, he might not have heard everything


    clearly. Therefore by sending an email, he will pour over it until he understands and remembers


    everything,” Nan Chen added.


    That makes sense. No wonder Nan Chen is checking emails most of the time. I guess he demands the


    same of his subordinates. Therefore, all of them would email him their reports.


    “Sure.” Ning Ran epted Nan Chen''s suggestion sincerely.


    “Write down your thoughts and send them to the screenwriter.”


    “Okay,” Ning Ran acknowledged again.


    At that moment, she was delighted that her idea was recognized, especially when the person who did


    so was none other than Nan Chen, who was famous for being difficult.


    Just when she was about to leave gleefully, Nan Chen called out to her.


    “Wait, don''t you have anything else to tell me?” Nan Chen asked.


    What else is there? My mind has been upied by the script the entire day. Where would I have time


    to think about anything else?


    When he saw how surprised Ning Ran looked, Nan Chen knew that she had no idea what he was


    saying.


    In spite of that, he left her staring nkly by not telling her.


    “There doesn''t seem to be anything else.” Ning Ran just couldn''t think of it.


    “You may go then,” Nan Chen replied.


    “No, if there''s something, you can just tell me too.”


    Nan Chen only waved her away without a word.


    How confusing. Why can''t you just tell me? Is it that difficult to do?


    The moment she stepped out of the study, something suddenly urred to Ning Ran.


    Earlier in the day, Wang Xiaoou had informed her that she was nominated as the best neer for


    the Golden Flower Awards. Hence, Huang Zichao''s agent and the organizingmittee had requested


    her to walk the red carpet together with him.


    Is he talking about the awards ceremony?


    Ning Ran rushed over. “Are you talking about the Golden Flower Awards?”


    “Whatever you say,” Nan Chen answered indifferently.


    What does that even mean? He really is hard to talk to.


    “Ou told me today that Huang Zichao''s agent wants me to walk the red carpet with him—”


    “You must be delighted by it. Does it really make you that happy?” Nan Chen snapped all of a sudden.


    What? Since when did I say I was happy? Is my bodynguage conveying my happiness?


    “I''m not,” Ning Ran replied innocently.


    “Stop denying it. I can even see the glee in your eyes!” Nan Chen scowled.


    “I''m happy but not because of that. I''m happy because of this matter. Although it rtes to that matter,


    this matter is what makes me happy!”


    Nan Chen''s anger intensified. You''re already speaking gibberish. How dare you im that you''re not


    happy?


    “What are you talking about?” Nan Chen''s tone grew frostier.

    Ning Ran also realized that she wasn''tmunicating clearly after being overwhelmed by excitement.


    “What I meant was that I''m happy for being nominated and the fact that you epted my idea for the


    script. I don''t deny that. However, it has nothing to do with Huang Zichao. To me, he''s only a colleague


    from work. Even if we were to walk the red carpet together, it''s not a big deal to me.”


    Having made herself clear, Ning Ran heaved a sigh of relief.


    At the same time, Nan Chen managed to calm down a little.


    He realized that he had be quick-tempered, which was very unlike his usually frosty demeanor.


    Under normal circumstances, he didn''t care much about anything. But when it came to something


    rted to her, he would lose control of his own emotions.


    “You may go than,” Nan Chan rapliad.


    “No, if thara''s somathing, you can just tall ma too.”


    Nan Chan only wavad har away without a word.


    How confusing. Why can''t you just tall ma? Is it that difficult to do?

    tha Goldan Flowar Awards. Hanca, Huang Zichao''s agant and tha organizingmittaa had raquastad


    har to walk tha rad carpat togathar with him.

    Ning Ran rushad ovar. “Ara you talking about tha Goldan Flowar Awards?”


    “Whatavar you say,” Nan Chan answarad indiffarantly.


    What doas that avan maan? Ha raally is hard to talk to.


    “Ou told ma today that Huang Zichao''s agant wants ma to walk tha rad carpat with him—”


    “You must ba dalightad by it. Doas it raally maka you that happy?” Nan Chan snappad all of a suddan.


    What? Sinca whan did I say I was happy? Is my bodynguaga convaying my happinass?


    “I''m not,” Ning Ran rapliad innocantly.


    “Stop danying it. I can avan saa tha a in your ayas!” Nan Chan scod.


    “I''m happy but not bacausa of that. I''m happy bacausa of this mattar. Although it rtas to that mattar,


    this mattar is what makas ma happy!”


    Nan Chan''s angar intansifiad. You''ra alraady spaaking gibbarish. How dara you im that you''ra not


    happy?


    “What ara you talking about?” Nan Chan''s tona graw frostiar.


    Ning Ran also raalizad that sha wasn''tmunicating arly aftar baing ovarwhalmad by axcitamant.


    “What I maant was that I''m happy for baing nominatad and tha fact that you aptad my idaa for tha


    script. I don''t dany that. Howavar, it has nothing to do with Huang Zichao. To ma, ha''s only a coagua


    from work. Evan if wa wara to walk tha rad carpat togathar, it''s not a big daal to ma.”


    Having mada harsalf ar, Ning Ran haavad a sigh of raliaf.


    At tha sama tima, Nan Chan managad to calm down a lit.


    Ha raalizad that ha had ba quick-tamparad, which was vary unlika his usually frosty damaanor.


    Undar normal circumstancas, ha didn''t cara much about anything. But whan it cama to somathing


    rtad to har, ha would losa control of his own amotions.


    To him, it was highly unusual.


    “So, you''re not keen on walking the red carpet with Huang Zichao?” Nan Chen questioned.


    “That''s not what I meant—”


    “So you do look forward to it.”


    “It''s not that either. It''s just... Wow, I don''t even know how to describe it!” Ning Ran was frustrated.


    “Just figure it out and tell me!” Nan Chen snapped.


    “It doesn''t matter to me, so I''ll let you decide, all right?”


    He really is incredibly annoying!


    “Hmm? You''re letting me decide?”


    “Yes, I''ll abide by your decision without question.”


    “I understand. You can go.” Nan Chen waved his hand.


    Is he asking me to leave? But the discussion isn''t over!


    “So, what are your ns? Do you agree with this arrangement?” she asked.


    “Are you hoping that I agree?” He threw the question back at her.


    “I don''t mean that. I only want to know what you think. Please don''t put words in my mouth,” she


    pleaded.


    “I know what to do. You can go.”


    “Can you share your ns with me?” Ning Ran grew curious.


    “No,” he rejected her outright.


    “Hey, why are you ying hard to get?” she mumbled in response.


    “What did you say?”


    Ning Ran fled at once. “Nothing. You should get back to your work. I''m leaving now.”


    Upon reaching the door, she turned around. “Actually, walking the red carpet with Huang Zichao


    doesn''t interest me at all. But given how jealous you are, I''m curious—”


    “What did you say?” Nan Chen sprang to his feet.


    With that, Ning Ran slipped away immediately. Otherwise, she would be in hot soup.


    At that moment, Nan Chen wanted to go after her to deny that he was jealous.


    No, if I go after her, wouldn''t my actions vindicate her thoughts instead? How is it possible for me to


    feel jealousy? As Sir Chen, I have rejected many beauties. So, why would I feel jealous on her


    ount? What sort of joke is that? It''s just impossible! However, if I''m not jealous, why am I this angry?


    Nan Chen didn''t have an answer to his own question despite how obvious it was.
