My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 1060 Hidden Agenda

Nan Xing was taken aback. “Chen is getting married? With whom?”

These words really infuriated Ning Ran!

I'm standing right here in front of you, and you actually say something like that?

Does this mean that aside from me, there are other candidates in your heart who could marry your brother?

I initially wanted to speak up for you, but now I don't even want to bother with you!

Feng Wan also wore a stern expression. “What are you talking about? Of course, Chen married Ning Ran. Who else could he have married?”

Seeing that Ning Ran's complexion wasn't looking too good, Nan Xing suddenly realized that he must have said something wrong.

“Ning Ran, that's not what I meant. I just feel it's so sudden.”

Feng Wan glared at him. “They already have two children, and you're still thinking it's sudden? So, your unplanned marriage isn't sudden, but someone with two kids getting married is?”

This remark left Nan Xing speechless.

Lately, I've really been out of sorts. Everything I say seems to be wrong, and I seem to rub everyone the wrong way.

“Grandma, that's not what I meant. Since Chen is getting married, it's perfect! When I've successfully proposed, I want to get married on the same day as him! Wouldn't it be perfect? Chen and I were born on the same day, and then we'll get married on the same day!”

Nan Xing found himself growing excited as he spoke.

Then he saw Feng Wan and Ning Ran just staring at him like that.

Nan Xing shrugged. “Did I say something wrong?”

“No.” Ning Ran smiled. “So, how do you plan to propose? Do you know where Lu Jingyuan's family lives?”

“I don't know,” Nan Xing replied.

“Where are you going to propose then?”

“I can find out where she lives, and then go there to propose marriage.”

“So, are you planning to let Lu Jingyuan know about this?”

“I'll keep it from her for now, but she will find out eventually.”

Ning Ran shook his head, and Feng Wan also shook hers. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Nan Xing had truly lost his mind! That was the consensus they had reached now.

“Calm yourself down and stop acting foolish,” Feng Wan said with disdain.

...

The next day, Ning Ran once again arranged a meeting with Lu Jingyuan.

Lu Jingyuan had already returned to work, carrying on as usual as if nothing had happened.

Her resignation letter hadn't been approved yet, so she still held her original position in her original office. Nothing had changed.

Everyone knew that she was aloof, and no one dared to gossip about her affairs.

Still, there were whispers among colleagues that Lu Jingyuan and Nan Xing seemed to have something going on.

No one really knew what was going on though.

Nan Xing was taken aback. “Chen is getting married? With whom?”

They didn't dare to ask.

Ning Ran had been waiting for a long time downstairs of the office building before Lu Jingyuan finally appeared, dressed in her professional attire.

Ning Ran herself was a beauty, but seeing Lu Jingyuan in that suit made her think that the latter looked absolutely stunning.

No wonder Nan Xing is so head over heels. If I were a man, I'd probably pursue her relentlessly too.

“Ms. Lu, when you're at the office, I bet those male employees can hardly concentrate on their work, right?” Ning Ran joked.

“What do you mean?”

“You're so beautiful, and all the male staff can't take their eyes off you. How can they concentrate on work?”

Lu Jingyuan spoke assertively, “They wouldn't dare. I'll tell anyone who dares to stare at me to get lost.”

Ning Ran chuckled. “The male employees at your company must be so pitiful. They have a beauty in their midst but they can't even look. That must be so torturous.”

“There are many beautiful women in the company; they can look at others.” Lu Jingyuan also laughed.

...

Upon reaching the entrance of the restaurant, Lu Jingyuan suddenly halted in her tracks.

“Is Nan Xing also there? If he is, I'm not going in!”

“He's not here, so you can relax,” Ning Ran said with a laugh. “But I do have some very interesting things to tell you about you and him!”

Lu Jingyuan shook her head. “I don't want to talk about him. He's too immature, and he finds boring things fun!”

“No, no, no, this time he's genuinely amusing.”

The two people entered the private room and took their seats.

“Let's get one thing straight,” Lu Jingyuan said. “No talking about Nan Xing before dinner as it ruins my appetite.”

“Alright, we'll talk later.”

Both of them didn't eat much. After a few bites, they slowly sipped their red wine.

“May I speak now?” Ning Ran asked with a smile.

“If it's too boring, it's better not to talk about it.”

“It's not boring at all! On the contrary, I find it quite touching.”

“Touching? Do you think I'm touched because he wants to return to the capital with me? He's the young master of the Nan family. Instead of staying put in Flower City, he insists on accompanying me back to the capital. Clearly, he's trying to intimidate me. What's so touching about that?”

Ning Ran raised her glass, clinking it against Lu Jingyuan's.

“Nan Xing announced that he's going to your family in the capital to ask for a marriage proposal!”

Lu Jingyuan almost spat out the red wine she was drinking.

Thankfully, due to good upbringing, she managed to hold back and didn't spit it out.

“What did you say? A marriage proposal? Has he lost his mind?” Lu Jingyuan exclaimed loudly.

“He doesn't seem crazy, relatively normal in fact. Moreover, he is very determined. He insists on having the Nan family send a large entourage to the capital to ask for your hand in marriage. But he doesn't know where your house is, so he's still asking around!” Ning Ran said.

“He doesn't seem crazy, relatively normal in fact. Moreover, he is very determined. He insists on having the Nan family send a large entourage to the capital to ask for your hand in marriage. But he doesn't know where your house is, so he's still asking around!” Ning Ran said.

Lu Jingyuan's face turned pale with fright. “He's asking where my family is? That's not acceptable. If my dad finds out, he'll suspect him of having ulterior motives! What if he gets arrested? What would he do then?”

Upon reflection, Ning Ran realized that it made sense. Lu Jingyuan's father held a high position. If someone were to inquire about such a person's residence, it would naturally arouse suspicion.

Moreover, this matter was quite sensitive, and it might be difficult to explain clearly when the time came.

“What should we do then?” Ning Ran was also a bit worried.

“Tell him to stop acting crazy and back off immediately! The capital is not a place where he can mess around!”

“Both his grandmother and I have tried to persuade him, but he simply won't listen. Moreover, he also said that if the Nan family doesn't agree, he will personally go to the capital to propose marriage.”

Lu Jingyuan immediately stood up. “I'm going to find him right now and give this lunatic a piece of my mind!”

Ning Ran persuaded Lu Jingyuan, “You don't need to go find him. All I have to do is call him and tell him you're here, and he'll come running on his own.”

After speaking, she made a call to Nan Xing.

In less than half an hour, Nan Xing really did arrive.

“Are you two still drinking? I'll pass, as I'll be your driver later and take you both home,” Nan Xing said, trying to please them.

Lu Jingyuan was just quietly staring at Nan Xing, staring so intensely that it gave him the creeps.

“What's wrong, do I have a pimple on my face? Why are you staring at me? Could it be that I'm too handsome, making you unable to resist staring at me?”

Lu Jingyuan sighed. “He really has gone mad.”

“Who?”

“Let me tell you, Nan Xing, when I was very young, my father wouldn't allow us to mention his name in public. On one hand, it's due to regulations, and on the other hand, it's for our safety. If you dare to go to the capital to inquire about my family's residence, I assure you that you'll be detained swiftly. When the time comes, I won't be able to help you. Don't be foolish and drag the people who go to the capital with you into this!”

Lu Jingyuan wasn't trying to scare Nan Xing; everything she said was the truth.

But Nan Xing was nonchalant. “I'm not scared. If they detain me, I'll just say I went to your house to propose marriage. Your brother knows me too. He will speak up for me when the time comes.”
