Chapter 926 Response
Ning Ran casually displayed affection publicly in front of Ruan Anxi, hinting that she and Nan Chen had a loving
relationship that wouldn't be affected by external factors.
That was, of course, not meant for Jiang Zhe to hear, but for Nan Chen standing next to him and also for Ruan Anxi
sitting beside her.
Ruan Anxi knew that Ning Ran was deliberately showing off her relationship with Nan Chen, but he didn't care and
merely smiled. “Do you really want to take me to your banquet?”
“Are you unwilling to go?” Ning Ran asked in return. It'd be perfect if you're reluctant to go.
“No. I'd be happy to be there. Still, aren't you worried that someone will recognize me and it will affect your
image?” Ruan Anxi chirped.
“I'm not worried. You'll find a way.”
He grinned again. “All right, as long as Nan Chen doesn't deliberately make things difficult for me, I promise not to
cause any trouble for you.”
“Why are you here in Flower City this time, and how long do you plan to stay?” she asked.
“I know that your movie would be released soon, so I came specifically to watch it, but most importantly, I'm here
to see you,” he replied cheerily.
“But every time you come, I get into trouble. Can you let me off the hook this time and not make things difficult for
me?”
“I'll try my best. I don't want to cause problems either, but trouble always finds me. There's nothing I can do about
it.”
Amidst their conversation, they arrived at the place where Ning Ran would get her styling done. Qiao Zhan's Jeep
was already waiting there.
As soon as Ruan Anxi's car came to a halt, the surrounding vehicles came and encircled his car.
He shook his head helplessly. “Are you seeing this? I told you I don't like making things difficult for others, but there
are always people who want to mess with me. I just wanted to give you a ride, and they had to do this. These
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtpeople are so annoying.”
Qiao Zhan had already come over and knocked on the car window.
Ruan Anxi rolled down the window. “What now? You're really irritating!”
“This is Flower City. You're under my watch no matter where you go,” Qiao Zhan warned.
“I got it. Can you at least step aside and let Ran go in for her styling?” Ruan Anxi uttered disdainfully.
At that moment, another car arrived. Cheng Xiangyun got out of the vehicle. “Ran, are you all right?”
Ruan Anxi grew more impatient. “Why do you all think I would hurt her? Can't you see that we're friends?”
Ning Ran thought about what he said. That couldn't be less obvious. Even I didn't notice we were friends.
Ning Ran exited the vehicle and gestured for everyone to calm down before walking toward the beauty salon with
Cheng Xiangyun.
“Did that pervert do anything to you?” Cheng Xiangyun asked concernedly.
“I'm fine. He truly didn't do anything to me. He was the one who fully booked the cinemas as well. All in all, he
means no harm to me, so don't be so wrought up.”
“What was he trying to do when he kidnapped you into his car, then?”
Ning Ran wasn't sure, either. They just talked for a bit, and that was all.
“I'm not sure. That's just the way he does things. If he had invited me formally, I might not have met with him,
because Nan Chen would be unhappy. Therefore, he resorted to such an extreme method to meet me. Perhaps the
problem lies with me too, but it's okay; I'll get used to it slowly.”
Cheng Xiangyun lowered her head guiltily. “Ou kept telling me to protect you today, but so many unexpected things
happened. She's definitely going to scold me again.”
“Jeez. You're also a woman, so how are you supposed to protect me? Facing someone like Ruan Anxi, even Qiao
Zhan would be stumped, let alone you. Anyway, I'm all right, so there's no need to make a fuss.”
An appointment with the stylist had already been made, so Ning Ran was immediately ushered to have her
makeover done in private on the third floor as soon as she arrived.
Meanwhile, both Qiao Zhan and Ruan Anxi stayed downstairs. Their subordinates remained in an impasse in the
underground parking lot, refusing to leave.
Ruan Anxi closed his eyes for a nap, and when he opened them again, he saw Qiao Zhan staring at him inside the
opposite car.
“You may leave first. I'll send her back later.” Ruan Anxi waved his hand at Qiao Zhan.
“You don't have to send Madam anywhere. Just get lost and quit showing up in front of me. The sight of you irks
me,” Qiao Zhan retorted.
The two had clashed several times before, and each had secured victories and suffered losses. Nevertheless, deep
down, both of them considered one another worthy opponents.
“Don't be a fool. I'm good friends with Ran, and I won't hurt her. You're just being an eyesore by staying here and
rubbing me the wrong way. Take your men with you and leave,” Ruan Anxi said, his patience thinning.
“Protecting Madam is my duty. You're just a d*mn hooligan. How dare you act as you please in Flower City?” Qiao
Zhan scolded.
Ruan Anxi shook his head. “I'm a hooligan? Don't you know that the name Doctor invokes absolute respect in South
East Aploth's underworld? Do you have any common sense?”
Qiao Zhan scoffed. “To me, you're nothing more than a hooligan. Have you ever saved anyone or treated any
patient? How dare you call yourself a doctor? Do you have a medical license?”
“What if I do have a medical license? Would you let me remove your kidney and turn it into a dish?” Ruan Anxi
snapped.
“Why don't you show it to me? You fake doctor. Thug,” Qiao Zhan berated.
Ruan Anxi began searching for his medical license but soon realized he didn't bring it along.
“Come here. I'll show you a photo. If you can read, you'll know this is a medical license issued by a foreign country.
I'm a qualified doctor!”
Ruan Anxi was also getting worked up, seemingly very concerned about others doubting his authenticity as a
doctor.
Qiao Zhan's interest was piqued. He couldn't help but ask, “If you care so much, why don't you be a doctor who
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsave lives and help the injured instead of being a bad person?”
Ruan Anxi chuckled. “You're too unsophisticated, so you wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you.”
“How would you know whether I would or wouldn't understand? You haven't even told me the reason. Did you
become a bad guy because you failed your examinations?”
“I didn't. My results were excellent. I was a top scorer in every subject.”
Qiao Zhan and Ruan Anxi's subordinates were bewildered, listening to their conversation. How did these two start
chatting? Weren't they supposed to be enemies with nothing in common? What could they possibly talk about?
“I don't believe you.” Qiao Zhan snorted coldly.
“Forget it, then. Hurry up and leave. Stop bothering me already. I'm going to take a nap.” Ruan Anxi shut his eyes
again.
“You should be the one to clear out. We'll handle Madam's transportation. Since you're a guest from afar and have
expressed your support for Madam's new movie, I won't make things difficult for you. However, you'd better not
cause any trouble in Flower City. Otherwise, you'll be in a world of pain.”
Ruan Anxi didn't respond as he found Qiao Zhan too annoying to deal with.
Sensing Ruan Anxi's silence and reluctance to leave, Qiao Zhan got out of his car and approached the former's
vehicle.
Ruan Anxi's men immediately stepped forward to halt Qiao Zhan. They reached toward their waists as if they were
carrying firearms.
Hearing the commotion, Ruan Anxi opened his eyes and waved his hand, signaling his men to back off.
Qiao Zhan opened the car door and placed one foot in Ruan Anxi's car. “Are you leaving or not?”
“Is this your home or something?” Ruan Anxi riposted.
Qiao Zhan was taken aback, not expecting this kind of response.
“No.”
“If this isn't your home, how can you tell me to leave? When Ran comes out later and wishes to ride in your car, I'll
go. But if she wants to join me, you'd better scram and quit bothering me!” With that, Ruan Anxi closed his eyes
again.
