My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 26

q

Nan Chen left and Luo Fei’s scheme was ruined.

She would not dare to get Ning Ran on her knees again as she could tell that Nan Chen did not want to drive Ning Ran into a corner.

This was an outcome that Luo Fei was most reluctant to face. Things were not progressing the way she wanted them to.

She had no idea what exactly just happened.

Nan Chen had been acting very strangely, but this man was too mysterious and it was impossible for anyone to see through his mind.

“Shall we proceed? Let’s not make any more changes to this script. There will be a lot of complications if we do so…”

Before the director could even finish his sentence, his phone rang. It was a call coming from Nan Chen’s assistant, Jiang Zhe.

He moved aside to pick up the call and there was a look on his face after he hung up.

The assistant director walked over and asked him, “What is it now?”

The director replied, “Jiang Zhe called to instruct us to increase the second female lead’s screen time by at least thirty percent and make her go astray. She will then survived an ordeal, turned into a new leaf and finally understand that love is the key to forgiveness and hatred cannot lead to happiness.”

“Huh? If we make these changes, then wouldn’t she become the female lead? Luo Fei’s screen time isn’t even as much as hers!” The assistant director exclaimed; his face full of concern.

“Yes I know, but Jiang Zhe said that this was Nan Chen’s idea. We have no choice but to follow.” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

The assistant director strokes his beard, and said, “This is not right. This insignificant person put Nan Chen on the spot just now, why would he increase her screen time? Now what does this imply?”

The director shook his head and replied, “I’m not too sure, but all the while Nan Chen’s way of handling things has always been unpredictable. The fact that he made a trip down today to check out the set is already a strange behavior. Such a busy man like Nan Chen had never made a visit here. But even though he did drop by today, it didn’t seem like he came here specifically for Luo Fei.”

“What makes you think so?”

“Did you not notice that Nan Chen did not even look at Luo Fei straight in the eye? He did not even express any concern about her injury when he heard that she was being beaten up. This isn’t how usual couples would act.”

He added, “If Nan Chen bristles with anger for his lover, this person who caused her pain would be in a horrible state. But now just look at what has happened. This person didn’t suffer any consequences, but instead had additional screen time, making her a first female lead. Can you understand what is going on here?”

The assistant director shook his head, and said, “I don’t understand. I really don’t. Seriously! But since this was his request, let’s just go ahead! Sugar daddy calls the shots.”

While the two directors stood there making wild guesses, Ning Ran and Luo Fei on the other side were also at odds.

“You’re in luck today. Nan Chen is too busy to care about you. But I’m afraid this will not be the case in the future.” Luo Fei said as she pointed at Ning Ran.

“You’re in luck today. Nan Chen is too busy to care about you. But I’m afraid this will not be the case in the future.” Ning Ran mimicked what Luo Fei just said.

Luo Fei was about to explode of anger. She shouted, “Parrot talk? How cheap!”

“Trying to act as if you’re powerful? How shameless!” Ning Ran replied cheekily.

The camera man next to them bit his lip as hard as he could, try his best to hold back laughter.

Was this an argument or were they generating couplets? How could an argument be so neat?

Luo Fei turned red in anger, and said “You! you…!”

“I! I…?” Ning Ran continued to parrot Luo Fei’s words.

“Luo Fei, you’re a famous celebrity. Don’t degrade yourself to the level of such people who play minor roles.” Zhao Mingjie said as she walked over to help.

Ning Ran let out a cold laugh and said, “Riding on coat-tails?” “If I am a minor role, then what are you? Don’t forget that I am the second female lead, and you are merely just a third lead. My character oppress your character is numerous scenes on set. I can’t assure you if I will be taking it real or not when that happens!”

There was a tinge of fear in Zhao Mingjie’s eyes.

She witnessed Ning Ran verbally attacking Luo Fei with her own eyes. Luo Fei was an all-time first female lead actress, and besides, she was Nan Chen’s woman. Despite all this factors, the fearless Ning Ran would brave herself to provoke her. What else could Ning Ran not do to her then?

She did not dare to rebut Ning Ran and remained silent reluctantly. All she could do was to glare at her.

Luo Fei, on the verge of anger, vented it on Zhao Mingjie by giving her a slap on the face and exclaimed, “Your incompetency is to be blamed!”

She just gave Zhao Mingjie a poisoned make-up foundation and get her to place it in the washroom when Ning Ran was applying her make-up. And nothing happened.

If the poison really got onto Ning Ran’s face and caused her to have a swollen face, Luo Fei would not be the one to be blamed.

Zhao Mingjie dare not make a single sound, instead she used her hand to cover her cheek.

Ning Ran who was standing next to them, understood everything she heard and saw.

Incompetent? Incompetent in what?

Obviously it was something related to Ning Ran! Ning Ran had to be extra careful in future.
