Chapter 816


    Nan Chen''s scowl became less severe at that. “Ignore him. He''s dangerous.”


    Ning Ran was highly in agreement with his point of Ruan Anxi being dangerous.


    “All right, I will ignore him. I have time, anyway. I have work today; I''m going on Traffic Radio,” Ning


    Ran announced.


    Nan Chen frowned. “Traffic Radio? How is this the first I''m hearing about it?”


    “It is impossible for me to report everything to you, with you being as busy as you are. The program,


    Movie Talk, is going to air at ten. It''s a live broadcast that goes on for half an hour. I will answer some


    questions from the host to promote our new film,” Ning Ran exined.


    “All right, then. Qiao Zhan will go with you. Since it starts at ten, I presume it''ll end at ten-thirty? I''ll pick


    you up.”


    “That''s not necessary. As it''s not far from the city, I''ll have the driver send me home. You work really


    hard, so you should get some rest aftering home.”


    Nan Chen did not respond. She could not tell what he was thinking.


    After lunch, Ning Ran began studying the script.


    It was a casual talk show about films. Aside from having guest interviews, some film music will be


    yed during the breaks.


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Furthermore, the interviews would not involve the interviewees'' private lives. At most, they would only


    be asked questions such as what their favorite movies were and their reasons for enjoying them.


    Then, they would be asked about the new film, which requiredmunication with the production team


    because the film was not yet on air and spoilers were a big taboo, though she could not keep her lips


    entirely sealed.


    It was the studio''s decision as to which scenes could be revealed and which could not. Ning Ran could


    not shoot her mouth as she had to bear the responsibilities.


    Ning Ran was not overly nervous as she was not being filmed and was instead speaking into the


    microphone.


    After all, she was no stranger to talk shows and did not have the fear aplete beginner would have.


    At twenty to ten that night, Ning Ran arrived ahead of time at the studio and began speaking with the


    host and the staff there.


    The broadcast began at ten sharp.


    Naturally, the program began with the host''s introductions of the guests before the conversation


    commenced.


    As she hade well-prepared, the process went smoothly. After exchanging some small talk with the


    host, they proceeded to the Q&A segment with the audience, during which they could call and ask the


    host and the guests some questions.


    Most of the callers were women. Though it was supposed to be a program to discuss films, the


    questions posited to Ning Ran werergely unrted. Some of the most frequently asked questions


    were about the nature of her rtionship with Nan Chen.


    That was not something Ning Ran had anticipated. Though she was aware of the Q&A segment, the


    audience''s questions were not something the script had prepared her for.


    Fortunately for Ning Ran''s tact, she dodged and weaved her way through the barrage and made it


    through without a scratch.


    “All right. We have time for one more call. Hello, friend. How would you like to be addressed?” the host


    asked.


    “Call me Doctor,” a shrill voice sounded from the phone.


    Anxious, Ning Ran''s fingers grew numb.


    The host chuckled. “How interesting, ma''am, for you to report your profession. You save lives, Doctor.


    It''s a noble profession. We salute you.”


    “That''s not necessary. I just have a question for the guest,” the delicate voice announced bluntly.


    The host nced at Ning Ran to indicate that she should greet the caller.


    “Hello, how are you? My name is Ding Mi. Are you there?” Ning Ran asked.


    A simperingugh sounded from the phone. “How have you been, miss?”


    The voice did sound like a woman''s, which was why the host addressed the caller as “ma''am.”


    However, Ning Ran knew that voice did not belong to a woman but a devil. It was Ruan Anxi.


    He is everywhere! After all the effort tond a spot on a program, he not only found out about it but also


    called in.


    Ning Ran could only pretend not to recognize the voice. “I''m doing well. Thank you for your concern.


    What are you doing right now?”


    It was a line from the script. The guests could break the ice with the listeners by asking questions like


    this, which also made it easier for them to answer.


    The listeners who had called before provided all sorts of answers, including driving, getting ready for


    bed, and working overtime.


    This time, the answer was different. “I''m thinking of you,” the effeminate voice replied.


    Though it sounded a little flirty, it was still tolerable.


    Ning Ran forced augh. “Is that so? Well, thank you for your thoughts, ma''am.”


    As the host had mistaken Ruan Anxi''s voice for a woman''s, she decided to go along with the mistake


    and pretend not to hear it.


    “Are you pretending not to know me, miss? Remember the willow tree outside the homestay entrance?


    I''d carved your name there,” Ruan Anxi said.


    She did not answer, as it became a little awkward.


    Upon noticing Ning Ran''s odd expression, the host knew that she must have run into trouble.


    Thus, he swooped in. “All right, that''s all the time we have tonight for the Q&A session. Next, we''ll listen


    to some music.”


    Ning Ran heaved a sigh of relief at the conclusion of the session.


    The host did not pry. All celebrities have something to hide.


    As soon as they were off the air, Ning Ran removed her headphones and heaved another long sigh of


    relief.


    The host offered his hand. “Thank you for your cooperation, Ms. Ding. It''s an honor to have you here


    with us. I am a fan of yours too, you know. I enjoy your show very much. I''d like to buy you a drink as


    it''s still early. May I?”


    Ning Ran shook hands with the host politely. “I appreciate it, but I have matters to attend to and must


    rush home. Another day, perhaps?”


    “Another day” is basically a rejection.


    The host knew that very well and nodded regretfully. “All right, then. I''ll walk you out.”


    “That''s not necessary. Attend to your business, and I''ll see myself out. My driver is waiting for me at the


    parking lot,” Ning Ran said.


    The host sent Ning Ran to the elevator until she hinted that he should return and not send her any


    further.


    She took the lift to the parking lot, located her car, and got in before finding somebody already there.


    With a razor-sharp knife against the driver''s neck, he said to Ning Ran, who was about to retreat, “You


    wouldn''t ignore the life of your driver, would you, miss?”


    Ning Ran was bbergasted. How did Ruan Anxi find his way here?


    “I''m sorry, Madam, I—”


    Helpless, the driver was about to say something when Ruan Anxi cut him off, “Enough. How dare you


    ruin my meeting with an old friend? I will slice your arteries open if you displease me.”


    His grip tightened after he spoke, and the driver did not dare say another word.


    Initially deciding to have Qiao Zhane with her, Nan Chen thought Ning Ran would be safe as she


    would be within the city. He did not expect Ruan Anxi to find her there.
