My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 644 Do Not Play The Victim

Erbao came out at that time and ran toward Ning Ran.

“What are you guys talking about, Mommy?” the girl asked, hugging and rubbing her head against her mother.

“I’m talking to Aunt Xiang here. Why don’t you go there and play first?”

“When is Daddy coming to see us?”

“Don’t worry. He’ll be here after he’s done with work. Go on. Go play.”

“We’re meeting Lu Yunxue later for dinner, Aunt Xiang. Don’t forget about that,” Erbao reminded as she looked at

Cheng Xiangyun.

“I remember, you little greedy cat. We still have a lot of time before dinner. Are you thinking about dinner already?”

Cheng Xiangyun replied with a laugh.

“What? Are you guys meeting someone for dinner? Why didn’t you tell me?” Ning Ran asked.

“Well, I’m telling you now. Do you remember Lu Jingyuan? She’s the one who brought the Erbao to see Dr. Ding.”

“Right, you mentioned her. I remember you had high praises for her. Actually, I should buy her something to thank

her for bringing Erbao to the doctor, but what should I get for her?” Ning Ran asked with a frown.

“I don’t think she would want anything. She’s not into socializing. Besides, she lacks nothing.”

“It seems that you’re really fond of her. I can’t wait to see her.”

“I’m sure you’ll like her too. She’s an extremely nice person. She’s pretty, frank, and modest. It’s easy getting along

with her. She’s our type.”

“Did you say she has twin girls who look like Erbao?”

“Well, just a bit. They are not that similar.”

“Is she a single mother too?”

“Yes. She’s from the capital but moved to Livingsfill with the two children. This inn belongs to her.”

Ning Ran looked around the place. The inn was strategically located beside the mountain and the river, and the

view was splendid, so it went without saying that the accommodation was expensive. In fact, the price exceeded

that of some rated hotels.

Since the inn took up a vast area, the owner must have many connections to gain approval from the government to

build an architecture like that.

Even after a project was approved, building everything from scratch would still require a lot of investment.

Besides, its state-of-the-art facilities showed that constructing that inn cost tens of millions.

Judging from how the inn looked, Ning Ran was convinced that Cheng Xiangyun was right. Lu Jingyuan lacked

nothing.

To be precise, the owner did not even need to work. The sole profit from this inn would be enough to provide a

comfortable living for the whole family.

Since Nan Chen had other people book this inn for that trip, Ning Ran had no idea if Nan Chen had explicitly chosen

this place for their accommodation.

Well, if he did, then there must be something going on between the inn owner and Nan Chen. It’d better not be the

case because I would be deeply offended.

The more Ning Ran thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She took out her phone and called

Nan Chen.

As Nan Chen was resting, he picked up almost immediately. “What is it?” He sounded sluggish.

“Did you get your men to book this inn for us?” Ning Ran asked.

“Yes. What about it? Is it not good enough?”

“Oh, no. We’re having a good time here. Tell me. Did you book this place so you can get a jolly good time too?” Ning

Ran questioned.

“Of course. I want to have a good time there too. Don’t tell me you prefer staying in a shady place,” Nan Chen

teased.

“Do you know the owner of this inn?”

“The owner? I don’t even know the owner. Qiao Zhan’s the one who made the booking. What’s going on? What

happened?”

“Do you really not know her?” Ning Ran interrogated again.

“I really don’t. What’s going on? Is there something wrong with the place? Is it not safe? It cannot be. Qiao Zhan

should have made sure the place was safe before asking his men to book it. You can just move to another place if

you don’t like it.”

“So, you didn’t book this place yourself.” Ning Ran was still doubtful.

“Do you think I have the time to look into little things like this?” Nan Chen asked in return.

“I don’t know. You might have taken the time to look into this because of a woman,” Ning Ran replied with a hint of

jealousy.

It was then that Nan Chen sensed something was wrong. “What are you talking about? What woman? What’s going

on?”

“Do you really not know the boss here?”

“I really don’t know her. Tell me what’s happening.”

“It’s nothing, then. Get back to work. I was just asking,” Ning Ran answered and hung up.

“Seriously? Did you get into a fight with Sir Chen because of this? That was so unnecessary. I was just saying. You

don’t have to get so suspicious. Sir Chen’s gonna blame me for talking too much now,” Cheng Xiangyun

complained, unable to understand Ning Ran’s action.

“Don’t worry about it. He said he didn’t know her,” Ning Ran assured, but she changed her mind the next second.

“Actually, do you think Nan Chen knows her? He wasn’t lying, right?”

Cheng Xiangyun stared at Ning Ran in disbelief. “For real? How could you say that? There’s no point in lying to you.

Sir Chen can just say he knows her if he does.”

“God knows if he’s lying because he feels bad.” Ning Ran was not convinced.

“What’s there to feel bad about? You’re not married to him, so it doesn’t matter if he knows all the women outside.

There’s nothing you can do about it,” Cheng Xiangyun pointed out.

“Seriously, Cheng Xiangyun? Whose side are you on? You’re my assistant; I’m your boss. How could you take his

side?”

“Come on. I’m an employee at Star Entertainment. Sir Chen’s the one who pays me. You’re not my boss. Besides, I

didn’t say anything wrong. Why are you so worked up? Don’t play the victim. Even if Sir Chen arranged for you to

stay here, it didn’t mean that he had an ulterior motive. There’s nothing threatening about what’s happening.”

Ning Ran thought about it and realized that she might have overreacted.

“Don’t tell me you’re in love with Sir Chen. Are you jealous?” Cheng Xiangyun asked as she moved closer.

“Get lost. I don’t like him. Stop talking nonsense.”

“Now, now. I must be right, or else there’s no point getting angry,” Cheng Xiangyun teased.

Suddenly, Ning Ran’s phone rang. It was Qiao Zhan.

It turned out that Nan Chen had called Qiao Zhan asking him what the issue was. Qiao Zhan was grocery-shopping

outside and had no idea why Ning Ran was upset either, so he called Ning Ran himself.

Ning Ran felt better when she found out that Nan Chen cared so deeply about her feelings that he called Qiao

Zhan. However, she could not bring herself to admit that she had been overreacting for no good reason, so she just

told Qiao Zhan that she had called Nan Chen because the children missed him.

She also added that Nan Chen should visit the children when he was free.

When Ning Ran hung up, Cheng Xiangyun was smiling on a phone call.

“Ms. Lu’s glad to know you’re here. You’re also invited for dinner at her house later. She also asked if there are any

dishes you like in particular so she can prepare them,” Cheng Xiangyun informed after the call ended.

“That’s nice of her. I hope she has no ulterior motive,” Ning Ran questioned, frowning.

Cheng Xiangyun let out a cry of disappointment. “Come on! People are just being nice. Can you please stop being

so skeptical?”
