Celebrity Girl Is My Wife

Chapter 805

Ding Fei began rummaging through her purse.

Ning Ran grew anxious. Don't tell me she's searching for her weapon. Is she going to make a move on me because I refused to help her?

“What are you doing?” Ning Ran asked warily.

“I'm looking for the medical report. Here! Take a look. I am pregnant, and I'm not lying to you.”

Ding Fei handed Ning Ran a piece of paper, but the latter did not bother looking at it.

Ding Fei must be telling the truth, judging by what she said and how she had changed.

That was why Ning Ran did not feel a need to peruse the report. Even if it was fake, she did not have the technical expertise to tell.

Ding Fei said tearfully, “I really am pregnant, Ran. Please, you must believe me. I'm not lying to you.”

If memory served Ning Ran right, Ding Fei seldom addressed the former with such intimacy.

The number of times she called her “Ran” that day had exceeded the total times she did so before.

What puzzled Ning Ran the most was how a character as vicious as Ding Fei would care so much about a child who was never meant to exist.

“Are you going to keep the baby?”

“Yes. I've been badly injured and have undergone major plastic surgery. My body isn't in good shape, so I never thought I would have children. Now that he's emerged out of nowhere, he's my child no matter who the father is. If I give him up, I may never have another child for as long as I live. I must bring him into this world. However, I have crossed Ruan Anxi. Knowing his temper, he won't forgive me

even if I returned the money. That is why I'm pleading with you to help me and my child survive. As long as my child lives, I would give Ruan Anxi my life. But I cannot die now. I can't let my child die with me.”

Heartbroken, Ding Fei bawled.

Ning Ran felt her heart soften.

Actually, she had considered begging Ruan Anxi to let Ding Fei go. Or, at the very least, spare her life.

Though she thought Ding Fei was despicable, she also felt sorry for the latter and did not want Ding Fei to die resenting her.

The knowledge of Ding Fei's pregnancy strengthened Ning Ran's resolve.

“How would you like me to help you?” Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Ding Fei lifted her head, overjoyed at the sound of Ning Ran's relenting voice. “Will you help me, Ran?”

“I'm only agreeing to this for your child's sake. Otherwise, a hundred deaths wouldn't even atone for the sins you committed,” Ning Ran said harshly.

“I know that. I deserve to die. Thank you, Ran, for your kindness. Though I may not be able to repay you in this life, I'll be at your beck and call in the next life—”

“All right, enough hollow promises. You haven't even lived this life to the fullest yet. Why are you talking about your next?” Ning Ran interrupted Ding Fei.

“I mean what I say...”

“I don't want to hear your nonsensical confession. Get to the point. How do you want me to help you?”

“I would like you to ask Nan Chen if he could find me a place to hide and recuperate until I deliver my baby. As long as my baby is delivered safely, I don't care what happens to me after that.”

Ning Ran frowned. Why is she getting Nan Chen involved? But on second thought, that makes sense. With my resources, I do not have the ability to keep Ding Fei and her child safe. Ding Fei only came to me as she knew that I have Nan Chen's backing. In essence, Ding Fei is not asking me for help, but Nan Chen instead. Ding Fei is also well aware that she must get past me to get Nan Chen on board, as there is no way he would agree to help otherwise. That is why Ding Fei came to me. She means to ask for Nan Chen's help through me. In all of Flower City, only Nan Chen and his family could shield Ding Fei from the threat of Ruan Anxi.

“Let me discuss with him. I'll keep you informed,” Ning Ran said coldly.

“I'm begging you, Ran. You must convince Nan Chen to help me,” said Ding Fei, sobbing.

“Stop calling me that. I'm not Ning Ziqiang's biological daughter, so I'm not your sister. You used to hate me so much, and now that you're in danger, you're addressing me like we're sisters. It's sickening to hear. Let me clarify it one more time. I'm only helping you for the sake of your child. Whether you live or not means nothing to me.”

“I know, I understand. You have my gratitude whether or not Nan Chen says yes. I do apologize for what happened in the past. I swear to never do anything to you again if I survive this. May I die a most painful death if I go back on my—”

“Enough with all those vows. It's not going to work on me. Let me ask you something. Are you responsible for my mother's death?” Ning Ran asked coldly.

“No. I was right next to the club at the time. I did not kill your mother.”

“Was it Luo Yi, then?”

“I don't think it was. Though my mother hates your mother, she didn't dare commit murder as she fears retribution. I'd once asked her, and she did not admit to causing your mother's death. I'm telling you the truth. May I get run over by a car when I step outside if I'm lying—”

“All right, that's enough. Sit tight and await my word. I'll speak to Nan Chen.”

After arriving at the door, she doubled back.

“The baby requires nourishment. Avoid staying up late, and watch your diet. Eat healthy foods.”

Nan Chen was surprised when Ning Ran came looking for him at that time of the day. He was about to head to the factory for an inspection and did not have the time to speak with her.

Since Ning Ran was already there, he brought her into the car so she could talk to him during the commute.

Ning Ran was not keen on getting involved with Nan Chen's business affairs as she was worried it would create an unfavorable impression amongst the staff that she was clingy.

Naturally, she did not want Nan Chen to be seen as a poor leader who overlooked the big picture for women.

However, she was indeed in dire need of meeting Nan Chen that day as Ding Fei's predicament was a matter of great urgency.

Ding Fei had been hiding in the bathroom for several days. Ning Ran did not know how many people Ruan Anxi had sent out to search for her.

Knowing Ruan Anxi, he would give the order of execution without caring whether or not Ding Fei was pregnant once he found her.

Though Ding Fei deserved to die, the baby in her belly did not.

Ning Ran was a mother herself, and Ning Ziqiang had also once asked her to abort her child.

If I hadn't run away back then, these adorable children, Dabao and Erbao, would never have existed. The child is innocent. I must protect the child. It would be devastating if something were to happen to him or her.

Though Nan Chen had gotten into the car, he was still on the phone conversing in English.

Having spent some time abroad, Ning Ran was fluent enough in English to understand that the conversation was about some important work matter.

Furthermore, he had mentioned a woman's name during the call. Phonetically, it sounded like “Zhiyi.”

Toward the end of the conversation, he also mentioned the date the woman was scheduled to return to the country, but he talked too fast, so Ning Ran didn't quite catch it.

Her hunch told her that this woman was unusually close to Nan Chen.

Though they were talking business, their conversation did not contain many formal phrases but instead sounded casual.

For some reason, Ning Ran suddenly felt slightly jealous. Who is this “Zhiyi” person?
