My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Even though Ning Ran had tried to salvage the situation, it was already too late.

In Nan Chen’s eyes, the woman had gotten angry with him over that doctor!

To Nan Chen, it was ridiculous for Ning Ran to get mad at him over another man. How dare she?

Nan Chen slammed his chopsticks even harder on the table.

This action of his shocked Dabao and Erbao.

“Daddy and Mommy are fighting!” Erbao got scared and cried out.

That served as a timely reminder for Nan Chen that he should not be behaving in such a fierce manner in front of

the kids.

“We’re not fighting. Daddy and Mommy are just having a discussion,” Nan Chen explained.

“Really?” Erbao was unconvinced.

“Yup, we are not fighting.”

Nan Chen and Ning Ran were on the same page when it came to the behavior that they should be displaying when

they were in the presence of the kids.

After Erbao’s intervention, the adults stopped their conversation. The two of them had reached a silent consensus

that it was not necessary to discuss the matter in front of the children.

“I’m thinking of going back to the film set today. I’ve already fully recovered and don’t feel like staying at home

anymore.”

Ning Ran changed the subject to ease the awkwardness.

“Maybe you should rest for another day,” Nan Chen suggested.

“I don’t think I want to. I’m feeling so cooped up at home all day. I’m really feeling fine now.”

“Even if you return, Wang Yan wouldn’t have the guts to let you resume working,” Nan Chen said.

Ning Ran was infuriated.

Why do I have to listen to everything he says? Why does he always have the last say?

Ning Ran was really annoyed that Nan Chen was always deciding matters for her on her behalf.

Although the man could tell that Ning Ran was upset, he did not really care.

“Since you claim you have fully recovered, you shall be in charge of preparing dinner tonight. I will inform the

kitchen to not deliver food to us,” Nan Chen said.

“Yay! Mommy is cooking for us!” Erbao cheered.

“Do you like mommy’s cooking?” Ning Ran asked her daughter.

“Yes!” Erbao nodded continuously.

“Then, does it mean that mommy’s cooking is better than the chefs from the Nan family’s kitchen?” Ning Ran

asked a follow-up question.

Erbao paused to think, before answering with a sincere expression, “Mommy’s cooking just tastes different. It is

what we prefer.”

Dabao nodded in agreement with his sister.

Ning Ran was so touched that tears welled up in her eyes.

“OK, then mommy shall whip up some yummy dishes for you guys tonight. But I need you to help mommy out in

the kitchen yeah?”

“No problem!” Dabao and Erbao agreed chirpily.

After the kids finished their breakfast, Nan Chen asked his chauffeur to send them to school first. He was intending

to drive to work himself later.

Ning Ran knew the man wanted to continue with their unfinished conversation.

Nan Chen had actually already forgotten this matter. However, he was dismayed to know that it weighed so heavily

on Ning Ran’s mind.

Did she care so much about that doctor just because he had delivered lunch to her?

Was she that easily stirred up? I have to get to the bottom of the matter.

“I was the one who requested for that doctor to be fired by the hospital,” Nan Chen said while putting on his tie.

“Do you always tie your own tie?” Ning Ran gave an irrelevant reply.

She knew talking about that doctor would put the man in a bad mood. As such, asking an irrelevant question was a

tactic which she was using to create a more harmonious atmosphere, such that it would make it more conducive

for their discussion on the main topic.

Ning Ran believed it would be easier for the problem to be solved when Nan Chen was in a better mood.

Nan Chen was caught off-guard by her sudden switch of direction. What is this woman trying to allude to by asking

this question?

“Are you going to do it for me?” Nan Chen pointed to his tie.

“Sure,” Ning Ran readily agreed.

Even though she gladly accepted the task, she still could not help feeling nervous when Nan Chen inched closer to

her.

As the man was a lot taller than her, Ning Ran had to tiptoe in order to reach his tie.

Her long and slender fingers maneuvered Nan Chen’s tie in a nimble manner, and she managed to complete the

knot within seconds.

It was an aesthetically pleasing, well-done full-Windsor knot.

“How are you so good at this?”

An unfathomable glint flashed in Nan Chen’s eyes as they darkened. A shadow of doubt was cast in his mind.

Why was she so proficient at doing this? As far as he understood, women rarely wore ties.

Could it be because she had practiced it frequently on a man and that’s why she has gotten so good at it?

Ning Ran let out a light laugh as she read Nan Chen’s thoughts.

“I’ve been doing this for him since I was very young. I was too short at that time and had to stand on a chair in

order to reach his tie. But he stopped needing my help after I grew up. He didn’t even need my mom anymore.

Naturally, he wouldn’t need me as well.”

Nan Chen figured that Ning Ran was indeed talking about a man, but it was none other than her own father.

“No wonder you’re so familiar with it. He was a fool not to have cherished such a great blessing he had,” Nan Chen

said.

No doubt, the man had said that in order to comfort Ning Ran. His words had surprised the woman, as it was

uncharacteristic of Nan Chen to speak in such a kind manner.

“It’s all in the past,” Ning Ran laughed and shrugged it off.

Then, she reached for the man’s suit and put in on for him.

“That doctor is such a small fry and completely no match for you. But if he loses his job, it might greatly impact his

future and he may hate you forever for it. Why let someone hate you over something so minor? Isn’t it better for

him to know that you’re giving him another chance even though you are fully capable of getting him fired? This

way, he would be grateful for the second opportunity and turn over a new leaf. It is not easy to acquire a doctor

license. He had to go through years of study and acquire another few more years of work experience before

getting licensed. A good doctor can save countless lives. If he manages to become a good doctor next time, many

patients will benefit from his treatment. How about giving him a chance to atone for his mistake by using his

professional knowledge to save lives?” Ning Ran stated her views in a gentle voice and looked up at Nan Chen after

she finished.

Nan Chen gazed at the woman for a few seconds and answered, “Ok.” He did not say anything else other than that.

“Thank you, Young Master Chen.” Ning Ran beamed beautifully at the man as she thanked him.

Nan Chen felt slightly defeated and was frustrated with himself for letting the woman convince him with her soft

words.

But what she said had made so much sense, it was impossible for him to reject it.

“Are you really not interested in him?” Nan Chen asked in a cold voice.

“Nope, there’s absolutely nothing I see in him. Well, he’s quite good-looking, but still not up to my standards,” Ning

Ran said.

‘How would you compare me to him?’ was what Nan Chen wanted to follow up with, but he forced himself to

swallow those words.

If he had really lost control and asked Ning Ran that question, he would not have forgiven himself for spouting such

childish and ridiculous-sounding nonsense.

“But his actions were morally wrong, so he should still be punished,” Nan Chen added.

“Yup, I agree. He definitely ought to be taught a lesson so that it would be engraved in his mind. We can get the

hospital to fire him first, before taking him back. It’ll be clear to him after this incident that if there’s anyone he

shouldn’t offend in this world, it’ll be our Young Master Chen!” Ning Ran buttered up the man.

Nan Chen stared at her and doubted the sincerity of her words. He had a feeling she was putting up an act.

However, it also seemed real, as there were no concrete signs to conclude that the woman was indeed acting.

“I’ll leave it to you to handle this matter.”

“There’s nothing I can do without your permission for him to be reinstated,” Ning Ran pulled a long face.

“Didn’t I just agree with your suggestion?”

“Then I’ll have to trouble you to find some time amidst your busy schedule to give the management of the hospital

a call, to let them know of the plan yeah?” Ning Ran stressed as the man got ready to leave for work.

“I’ll get Jiang Zhe to handle it. Just remember to prepare dinner tonight.”

“Sure, no problem! I’ve nothing else to do today anyway. I shall awe you with my superb culinary skills!” Ning Ran

said confidently.

Nan Chen proceeded downstairs without replying.

“Oh, one more thing!”

The man turned around and looked at Ning Ran, prompting her to carry on.

“I’m starting work tomorrow, you can’t oppose to that again yeah? If I rest for too long, I’ll detach from the

character and it’ll be harder for me to get back into the role the second time,” Ning Ran said.

Nan Chen thought about it for a moment and nodded.

“Wow, thanks! I’m so happy you agreed. Have a good day and drive safely, I shall go get more sleep now.” Ning

Ran yawned.

Is this woman always so lazy? Nan Chen frowned slightly. She’s going back to sleep again?
