Celebrity Girl Is My Wife

Chapter 845

Upon getting no response from Ning Ran, Lu Jingyuan thought Ning Ran was refusing to help.

“Do you think I'm asking for too much?” Lu Jingyuan asked uneasily.

“Oh! I was just trying to think of a person that could match your requirements.” Ning Ran laughed.

“I don't have a lot of requirements. It's just that the man has to cooperate with my brother's investigation, and the man needs to convince my brother I can rely on him.”

Upon hearing that, Ning Ran let out a sigh and said, “Babe, that's already a huge ask. Your family is a prominent family. In order to be compatible with you, that man needs to be incredibly outstanding. Besides, your brother has to like him! You're asking for a lot!”

“Are you saying that there isn't a suitable man for me? Must I keep going on blind dates?” Lu Jingyuan sighed as well.

Ning Ran held back her laughter and replied, “Well, there's still hope. I just need time to find you the right man. By the way, Babe, could you tell me what your brother is looking for in your future partner?”

Lu Jingyuan put on a serious expression and said, “Don't laugh at me, okay? I'm sincerely asking for your help.”

“Okay. I won't laugh. Go on. Tell me the type of man that can pass your family's assessment,” Ning Ran uttered with a straight face.

Lu Jingyuan pondered for a while before saying, “First of all, he has to be a looker because I'm a pretty girl. My family has high expectations when it comes to looks.”

Ning Ran was amused. “It has to be a handsome man, of course. Babe, you're a goddess. How could we let you get together with a buttface?”

Lu Jingyuan frowned when she heard that. Why does that sound so strange?

Seeing that, Ning Ran quickly put on a serious expression and explained, “I merely meant to say the man has to be good-looking. Are there any other requirements?”

“He needs to be an extraordinary man with special skill sets. If I were to simply pick a man off of the streets, my brother would never agree to let the man bring me away,” Lu Jingyuan answered.

“Oh, I see. In a nutshell, you want an influential and handsome man. It's best to be a person with a successful career or someone who has achieved something in a certain field. Even if that's not the case now, he needs to have the potential to become successful in the future. Am I right?”

Lu Jingyuan nodded. “That's right. That's about it. As long as I have a boyfriend, my brother will let me leave the capital. That way, I won't have to go on blind dates every day. It's so annoying! I miss managing the inn in Livingsfill. I could wake up at any time I want in the morning, and I didn't need to entertain those dull people. If I don't leave this place, I'm going to suffocate to death! Help me, Ran!”

Ning Ran nodded profusely and said, “I'm definitely helping you. Let me rack my brain for a bit. I only know a few handsome men, and the ones that are good enough for you are even fewer. Zheng Lunlun is handsome enough, but he's too young. He's out. Huang Zichao is all right. He isn't that young, and he's also one of the best actors around. However, I heard he's dated a lot of women and has a pretty complicated love history. I wonder if he has a girlfriend now...”

Upon hearing that, Lu Jingyuan immediately waved her hands dismissively. “No! I don't want my boyfriend to be a celebrity. Even if he's not a real celebrity, my family is still not going to agree to it.”

“In that case, I don't think I have a man for you! Wait! I know one! Nan Xing! Yes. I think he fulfills your requirements. He's the deputy CEO of Nanshi Corporation, so he's clearly an influential man. Besides, he's from the Nan family, so he has a good family background. Moreover, he's a looker! You've seen him before, right?” Ning Ran surprised herself with her discovery.

“Nan Xing? Are you talking about that flirty man who looks like Mr. Nan?” Lu Jingyuan furrowed her brows.

Ning Ran was weirded out by those words. Although Lu Jingyuan was talking about Nan Xing, Ning Ran couldn't help but think Lu Jingyuan was calling Nan Chen a flirty man.

“I mean, although he looks like Mr. Nan, his personality differs from Mr. Nan. Nan Xing just seems like a frivolous man,” Lu Jingyuan explained.

“Uh... He's all right, no? After all, he's only going to pretend to be your boyfriend so that he can bring you away from the capital. It doesn't matter whether you guys can get along with each other in the future, right?” Ning Ran asked.

Lu Jingyuan thought about it and questioned, “Will he agree to play along?”

“I can try! I'll ask him to do me a favor,” Ning Ran answered. Although Nan Xing will most probably refuse to help, I guess I can convince him otherwise.

Right then, Lu Jingyuan's phone rang. Upon answering the call, Lu Jingyuan told Ning Ran she had already arranged a flight for Ning Ran. Apparently, a plane from the logistics department was flying toward Flower City. Ning Ran could hitch a ride instead of waiting for a commercial flight. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“Let's go, then. I can't keep them waiting. That's it for today. Let's have another meal together after we get you out of the capital!” Ning Ran rose to her feet.

“Sure. That's it for today. I'll send you off.” Lu Jingyuan stood up as well.

When the ladies were exiting Medallion Restaurant, they bumped into a few men.

One of those men was Rong Jilin, the man Ning Ran bumped into at the hotel before that. Who would've known that I would bump into him here? It's such a small world.

“This is the woman! She's the woman who went into the foreigner's room today. I don't know what they did inside, but the foreigner changed his mind immediately after that. Instead of collaborating with us, the foreigner went ahead and collaborated with Nanshi Corporation! It seems like Nan Chen is prepared to give up everything for broadcast rights. He's even willing to share his woman with the foreigner...” Rong Jilin condemned Ning Ran the moment he saw her.

Prior to that, Lu Jingyuan had already delivered him tight slaps across the face when he ran his mouth. Evidently, he still hadn't learned his lesson.

The men next to Rong Jilin didn't chime in because they saw who was standing next to Ning Ran.

Upon confirming that it was Lu Jingyuan, they all went over to greet her by saying, “Hi, Ms. Lu. This is such a pleasant surprise. It's nice to meet you here.”

Rong Jilin saw his friends' respect for Lu Jingyuan and understood why she had the guts to slap him. Looks like the capital is a complicated place. If this woman can make these powerful men respect her, that means she's not a woman I can mess with.

Instead of saying anything, Lu Jingyuan merely pointed her finger at Rong Jilin before leaving with Ning Ran in tow.

Although Rong Jilin didn't dare to voice his displeasure, he was filled with resentment as he watched them leave.

By the time Ning Ran arrived in Flower City, it was already midnight. Hence, she went back to the Ning residence straight so that she wouldn't disturb the children.

Although she was dog-tired, she was over the moon when the thought of Nanshi Corporation and DBA restarting their negotiation crossed her mind.

With such a happy thought in her mind, her exhaustion subsided.

At that time, the kids were already asleep, so Ning Ran took a shower and went to bed.

As soon as she lay down, however, she received a call from Wang Xiaoou.

Ning Ran grew anxious because it was unusual for Wang Xiaoou to call her at that hour. Something must've happened.

“What's the matter, Ou?” Ning Ran asked.

“Someone addressed as Mr. Rong had posted something bad about you on Weibo, and I think you should check it out. After that, we'll decide how we should handle it,” Wang Xiaoou said.

Mr. Rong? Could it be that shameless Rong Jilin? Is he publicly attacking me on Weibo? Ning Ran logged in to her Weibo and did a search.
