My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Ning Ran got on Nan Chen’s car after they left the restaurant.

The thought of Nan Chen announcing that she was on her period still made her blush.

“You’ve met my mother before.” Nan Chen suddenly remarked.

“Huh?”

“Even though you denied it. I could see it in your eyes. You recognized her.” Nan Chen said coldly.

Seeing how Nan Chen’s words left no space for her to contradict it, Ning Ran figured that she should just confess.

“Yes. We met at the airport once. And it wasn’t a good experience.” Ning Ran replied.

Then, she started to explain what happened that day to Nan Chen.

Nan Chen went silent.

“You don’t believe me? I’m telling you the truth here. If I lied, I…”

“I believe you.” Nan Chen responded.

“You believe me? Then you should’ve said something. I thought you didn’t.” Ning Ran said playfully.

Nan Chen kept quiet.

Ning Ran looked at Nan Chen. She could see that something was on his mind.

But come to think of it, there’s always something on his mind. He has a huge corporation on his shoulders, after all.

That’s normal.

Nan Chen spoke again. “You should stay away from her.”

“Huh?”

“I said it loud and clear.”

“You want me to stay away from your mother? Why?”

“There’s no why.” Nan Chen told her.

With that response, Ning Ran had nothing more to say.

Silence was normal for them anyways.

Nan Chen drove to the school that the kids were attending and stopped at the entrance.

“Classes are still in session right now.” Ning Ran said as she looked at her watch.

“It’s not like you have to wait until school ends to pick them up.”

Nan Chen got off the car and made a phone call.

“You’re going to pick them up before school ends? Why? Why don’t we just wait for them?”

“Let’s bring them out to have some fun.” Nan Chen replied.

Ning Ran was speechless. You’d actually let them skip the rest of school just to have fun? Wow!

However, Ning Ran had not played with the kids in a long while too. Since it was rare for her to have some free

time, she couldn’t help but think that it was a good idea.

Not long after, a teacher came out with the two darlings in tow.

Having both Nan Chen and Ning Ran present to pick up the kids was truly a rare sight for them.

“Mommy! Daddy!” Erbao dashed toward them.

Dabao, who was usually calm and collected, also raced toward them. “Daddy and Mommy, why are you both

here?”

“We’re free right now. So we thought we would come together and pick you guys up to have some fun together.”

Ning Ran explained.

“That’s great! I wish both of you would bring us out to play every day!” Erbao shouted excitedly.

“Where do you guys want to go?” Asked Nan Chen.

“The amusement park!” Erbao exclaimed without a hint of hesitation.

“Alright.” Nan Chen gladly agreed.

He turned to Ning Ran and asked, “There are a few theme parks in Flower City that the company has shares in.

Should I contact them?”

“No need. What if they do something like emptying the place? That’d be scary. An amusement park is a place

where the more people there are, the merrier.” Ning Ran said. “It’d be no fun with just the few of us.”

“Okay” Nan Chen replied

When they reached the theme park, Erbao screamed out in excitement as her face lit up with joy.

“I’m guessing from their reaction they don’t come here a lot, right?” Nan Chen asked Ning Ran.

“Only once I think. I don’t have the money nor the capability to look after both of them in a public area like this. I

was worried that accidents might happen, so it was better to just not come here. It cuts down on the expenses too.”

Ning Ran smiled.

Nan Chen remained silent at that.

Soon after, the family of four started their theme park journey.

Erbao was highly energetic. She went on rides after rides after rides and it did not seem like she would stop

anytime soon.

Ning Ran, on the other hand, was so exhausted that she needed to take a break.

With that, Nan Chen was in charge of playing with them. It wasn’t until Erbao finally got tired that the family sat

down together and rested.

At that moment, Nan Chen’s phone vibrated. He took the call and later told the family that his grandfather was

looking for him, so he had to leave.

Ning Ran simply nodded. If the Old Master of the Nan family is looking for Nan Chen, it’s usually for something

important.

“I’ll take you guys and your Mommy to the children’s restaurant first. You two can have fun over there for a while. I

will come back once I’m done. Okay?” Nan Chen patiently explained to the children.

“Okay!” Both of them answered in unison.

Half an hour later, at the Commoner Residence.

Nan Chen entered Nan Zhengde’s study hastily. For some reason, Nan Zhengde was not in the midst of admiring

some calligraphy or painting like he usually did.

Instead, he was standing at the window supported by his cane and looking like he was deep in thought.

“Grandpa? You asked for me?”

“Sit.” Nan Zhengde gestured to Nan Chen.

“Is there something wrong?” Nan Chen asked.

Nan Zhengde kept quiet and pointed at the photos on his desk.

Nan Chen picked them up and was astonished by the content of the photos.

The photos were of Nan Zhiyuan and Bai Hua when they were at the airport earlier.

It was taken only a few hours ago, most probably at the exit gate of the arrival hall because Nan Chen was not in

them.

“Who gave you these, Grandpa?” Nan Chen asked Nan Zhengde.

“Someone delivered it over and the butler brought it to me.”

“That’s fast. This happened just a few hours ago and yet, they’ve already printed out the photo and delivered it

here.”

“Were you there as well?” Nan Zhengde asked.

“Yes. But I was at the parking lot the whole time.” Nan Chen admitted.

“Good. At least you didn’t show yourself.” Nan Zhengde nodded.

“They came back today and asked me to pick them up. I… couldn’t refuse, so I drove over.” Nan Chen explained.

Nan Zhengde was silent for a moment before he said, “Are they doing alright?”

“Yes. They’re doing just fine. But Grandpa, who would send these photos here?” Nan Chen asked.

“What we should be talking about is the reason. Why did someone send these here? What’s their motive?”

Nan Zhengde looked intently at Nan Chen.

“You promised the family as well as some of the major shareholders that these two will never be allowed to come

back. Perhaps someone found out that they’re back and wanted to threaten you?” Nan Chen asked.

“Threaten me? You have all the power in the corporation right now. I’m just an old man who sits around doing

nothing. Why would they send these to me and not you?” Nan Zhengde asked.

“Perhaps they thought that they couldn’t threaten me with these since I won’t ever go against your promise, even

when it comes to my family.”

Nan Zhengde paused.

“Chen, how’s the company doing recently? Anything odd?”

“No. Everything seems normal and all of the listed companies’ stocks are performing well.

Nan Zhengde nodded. “That’s good then. I keep getting the feeling that something big is about to happen.”

“Rest assured Grandpa. I won’t let anything happen to the company. Since someone already found out that they’re

back, it won’t be long before everyone knows. We can either send them back right away or stop hiding it.” Nan

Chen proposed.

Nan Zhengde thought about it for a moment. “Even if we send them away immediately, the fact that they’re back

still remains. He is my son and my heart still aches at the mistakes he made. But I’m only human, after all. That’s

why I let them come back. You should understand what I’m trying to do here.”

Nan Chen nodded. “I understand, Grandpa.”

“He is your father. But both of you are your respective individuals. I don’t want what he did to affect you and that’s

why I helped you along the way up to where you are now. However, I’m worried that some people will use these

photos against you.”

Nan Chen’s expression went cold. “It’ll be fine. I can handle it.”
