My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 811

Ning Ran had always hated hearing Luo Fei call her “Ran.”

It was not that there was anything bad about the nickname, but Luo Fei always called her that with ill intentions in

her mind.

Yet, this time, Ning Ran did not find it annoying.

Social skills could never bring two people closer together. Only when sincerity was brought to the table would they

truly get closer to each other.

Luo Fei had always called her “Ran,” but this time, she was delighted. She could sense Luo Fei's sincerity and

kindness.

How rare.

“You look well,” Ning Ran said with a smile.

“Yes, I like my current job a lot. I spend every day by the children's sides while they learn and play; I spend my time

making arrangements for them and watching them grow. Did you know? They're improving every day, and they

learn something new about this world every day. The one with a bowl cut over there is Ming. Yesterday, he told me

he noticed I never drank any cold water, so he asked if I was ill. I told him that cold water was bad for the body, and

he said he'll boil water for me every day. Ran, did you know? I was so touched I nearly cried that day. This world is

beautiful, but I never once took the time to appreciate it.”

As Luo Fei spoke, tears welled up in her eyes again.

When Ning Ran realized how good Luo Fei's life was at that moment, she, for a second, could not bring herself to

tell Luo Fei about what happened to Ning Ziqiang.

However, Nan Chen told her that Luo Fei was the only one who could deal with the problem.

She had to return Ruan Anxi's money and exchange herself for her parents.

Of course, while Ruan Anxi could take the money away, Nan Chen and Qiao Zhan were certainly not going to let

Ruan Anxi take Luo Fei away.

“Ran, let's take a seat there. I have some tea leaves in my room, so let me get that and make you a cup of tea.”

Luo Fei reached out to hold Ning Ran but abruptly retracted her hand.

She was afraid that Ning Ran would be upset. After all, she had done plenty of terrible things to Ning Ran.

Hence, instead of grabbing Ning Ran's hand, she gently tugged Ning Ran's sleeve before flashing her an awkward

smile.

It was stiff and unnatural, for her face had undergone plastic surgery.

Yet, the joy in her eyes was genuine.

Ning Ran smiled and held her hand. “I'll skip the tea. There's something I want to tell you.”

As far as Ning Ran knew, this was their first time holding hands.

It felt unfamiliar, and although both felt strange to do it, both pushed away the discomfort in their chests.

“Okay, I'll get you a glass of water then.”

“Okay, I'll get you a glass of water then.”

Once Luo Fei filled a glass of water, Ning Ran gestured for her to sit down.

“You're not feeling unwell lately, right?”

“Just a little. I don't dare to eat anything fried as that makes me sick, but I'm fine overall.”

Ning Ran nodded. “There's something I need to tell you, but I hope you can remain calm after hearing it.”

Luo Fei gave her a smile. “Ran, please just tell me what it is. The cliffhanger is only making me even more nervous.”

“Okay. Take a look at this.”

Ning Ran then showed Luo Fei the picture that Cheng Xiangyun sent her before patting the back of the latter's hand

to remind her to stay calm.

“Dad? Mom? Are they looking for me?”

Luo Fei's first reaction was an obvious indicator of the difference in her intellect and Ning Ran and Nan Chen's.

Both Ning Ran and Nan Chen instantly figured out that it was one of Ruan Anxi's dirty tricks, but Luo Fei, someone

who had been close to Ruan Anxi for such a long time, did not realize that immediately.

That meant that she was not as quick-witted as Ning Ran, let alone Nan Chen.

In other words, no matter how terrible she was, she could never be the victor, for she was not smart enough to pull

off master plans.

“This wasn't posted by them. If they were the ones who posted this missing person poster, why would they have

placed their photos there too?” Ning Ran hinted.

“What does that mean? Who posted this, then?” Luo Fei asked, still confused.

Is she really dense, or has she become dumber?

“Take a better look at this. Someone is looking for you. Think about it. Who's looking for you at the moment?” Ning

Ran hinted again.

It was only then Luo Fei finally realized what was going on. She shrieked out, “Doctor?”

She had been by Ruan Anxi's side for a long time, so she was used to calling Ruan Anxi “Doctor” like his other

subordinates.

“Yes, it's him. If our guesses are right, he must have held Ning Ziqiang and your mother... hostage.”

“What? What do we do now?” Luo Fei cried out.

“Stay calm. Ruan Anxi's trying to force you to come out. His target is you, not Ning Ziqiang and your mother, so

they're temporarily safe.”

“No, Ran, you don't know that Doct— Ruan Anxi's a monster! He doesn't even bat a lash when he kills! It's likely that

Dad's going to die in his hands!” Luo Fei blurted out.

“Then what do you think we should do?” Ning Ran tentatively asked.

Ning Ran did not wish to ask Luo Fei directly to exchange herself for her parents.

Those were words not easy to utter out loud, and she could not command Luo Fei to do that either, for the latter

had a child in her.

“I'm Ruan Anxi's target. I'll contact him and ask him to let my parents go. In exchange, I'll let him do anything he

wants with me.”

Upon hearing that from Luo Fei, Ning Ran let out a sigh of relief.

She was worried that Luo Fei would ignore the matter. If that were to happen, she would not know what to do next.

“But you're pregnant. It'll be risky for you,” Ning Ran reminded.

“I know, but I can't just turn a blind eye to my parents' dilemma. My child is important, but so are my parents. I was

the one who started the trouble with Ruan Anxi, and if karma has come for me, I'll surrender.”

It was not easy for Luo Fei to say something like that, and Ning Ran was glad to hear that, for that meant that she

had made the right decision to save Luo Fei and that her efforts had not gone to waste.

It was difficult to take down an enemy, but it was even tougher to make a bad person a good one.

Not only did she manage to dispel the hatred Luo Fei had for her, but she even instilled a sense of responsibility into

her. It was a wonderful thing.

Ning Ran exhaled. “This is something you have to give much thought about because you're pregnant.”

“I've thought things through. But Ruan Anxi is a sly and cruel man. He might not let my parents go even if I go to

him, so I'll have to ask for a favor from you for this, Ran. Please ask Nan Chen to use his power to protect my

parents. If it's possible, I hope he'll... Forget it. I doubt that'll be possible.”

Luo Fei sighed.

Ning Ran gestured for Luo Fei to continue. “Do tell me what you want. I'll do my best to fulfill your request.”

“What I wanted to say was if it's possible to get Ruan Anxi to give me more time so that I can deliver the baby

before I hand myself over to him. I want to protect my baby...”

At that point, Luo Fei's eyes reddened.

Ning Ran sighed. If only she knew this would happen. She wouldn't have done that back then.

There were many fork roads in life—a wrong turn could take someone down a path of no return.

Even if they did manage to turn back, the scene they once saw would no longer be there anymore.
