My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Ning Ran panicked slightly as Nan Chen continued to stare.

“I might be wrong. In that case, you can just ignore me, but please don’t be angry with me.”

The latter remained silent.

Deep down, he knew that Ning Ran’s words made sense.

The more prominent and powerful always desired to be on good terms with their families.

As a matter of fact, many big bosses who conquered the business world often met with their downfalls through

internal and personal conflicts.

Hence, it was pertinent to have one’s personal matters dealt with properly, especially if one was an important

figure.

This was also why many powerful couples would not divorce each other, no matter the destitute state of their

relationship. They did not want to risk their entire careers because of a personal conflict.

It surprised Nan Chen that the woman would be able to think of this.

“Please stop looking at me like that. I’m wrong, alright?” She became more anxious.

“Why don’t you come with me?” Nan Chen asked.

“Huh?”

“Well, you were the one who promised my mother. Are you not going to come with me?” he asked with a cold face.

“You want me to come with you to pick up your dad at the airport? Am I meeting your parents then? But we aren’t

exactly together, are we? Would meeting your parents be inappropriate then?”

When Ning Ran became excited, she would spout nonsense.

“Meeting my parents?” Nan Chen narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.

“Hahaha, I was joking. I’m an actress! All actresses have the same specialty, and that is to add more drama to their

lives. Don’t take my words too seriously!” Ning Ran giggled to conceal her awkwardness.

Shit! He didn’t even mention anything about meeting his parents. What am I doing? How can I be so shameless?

Control yourself and your mouth, Ning Ran!

Yet, Nan Chen still kept quiet. Soon after that, he put on his jacket and said, “Let’s go then.”

“Do I really have to go?” Ning Ran asked.

“Yes.”

This time, Nan Chen drove instead of getting his chauffeur.

He did not want others to know that Nan Zhiyuan was back. Thus, he thought that it was best if he kept a low profile

on this matter.

In fact, he felt that Nan Zhiyuan and Bai Hua’s return would disrupt the many years of peace that the Nan family

had enjoyed

However, he could not yet tell how these two would cause chaos.

In any case, chaos would be inevitable, and there was no way to avoid it.

“Where is your dad coming from?” Ning Ran asked him softly.

“He’s coming from Tokyo.”

“Did he go there for work? Was it for a long time?”

Again, Nan Chen remained quiet.

“I’m not trying to pry. I just want to know a little more about your family so that I don’t blabber later. You know that

I tend to do that.”

“Just shut up and that wouldn’t happen.”

Ning Ran covered her mouth with her hands. “That’s possible. But what if I have to speak? I don’t want to seem

rude.”

“There will be no such thing,” Nan Chen told her.

“Ok. Mouth shut then.”

The car fell into silence.

“You don’t seem to be on good terms with your father.” Ning Ran could no longer tolerate it and broke the silence

after a while.

“How did you know?” Nan Chen asked indifferently.

“Well, your dad hasn’t been back for a long time, but you refuse to pick him up from the airport. It’s quite obvious

that you guys are not on good terms. Otherwise, you would have parked aside your busy schedule and go

voluntarily.”

Her eyes darted to Nan Chen after she finished.

Nonetheless, he maintained a nonchalant expression and still did not speak.

After a while, Ning Ran remarked, “I’m not on good terms with my father too.”

“I know that.” The man finally spoke.

Indeed, he knew about the tense relationship between Ning Ran and her father. There was no way he would not be

aware of the many foolish things Ning Ziqiang did.

“Actually, I’ve always dreamed of having a normal, average father. We could have nice conversations, gossip a

little, talk about life, you know? Unfortunately, I don’t have someone like that for a father. When my mother was

around, she always made time for me, no matter how busy she was. She was always present at the important

milestones in my life. Later, I went overseas after she passed away. My friends often ask if I felt lonely there since I

had no relatives. Guess what? I told them that it was the same back in Flower City since my mother was no longer

around. My children are my only family. This is why I always think about being a good mother, about being there for

them for a long time. I don’t want them to be all alone like I was.”

For some reason, the conversation became about her life. After a while, her eyes gradually reddened as she spoke.

Meanwhile, Nan Chen listened quietly, and his heart ached for her.

He understood Ning Ran’s message – to treasure family who were still around. Otherwise, he would regret it when

he lost them later on.

However, unbeknownst to Ning Ran, the Nan family was much more complicated than she imagined them to be.

Besides, there was no way for him to explain it, as it would be too long a story.

A short moment after, they arrived at the airport. Nan Chen parked the car and then called Bai Hua.

Naturally, she was happy to hear that Nan Chen was at the airport.

However, Nan Chen did not wait at the arrival gate. He asked them to meet him at the carpark instead.

He did not want to openly welcome Nan Zhiyuan because the latter was not supposed to appear in this city.

After some time, Bai Hua and the rest came to meet them.

The Nan family possessed good genes. Nan Zhiyuan had very nice features and looked quite handsome. Even

though he was middle-aged, he still looked rather sharp. The man definitely aged well.

He was decked out in a branded suit, and his mannerisms revealed that he came from a prominent, wealthy family.

“Chen, it’s so good to see you! Haha!”

Nan Zhiyuan extended his arms and reached out for a hug.

The latter still looked rather unsurprised and stiff. He did not reciprocate his father’s enthusiasm and just greeted

him politely.

Just then, Bai Hua spotted Ning Ran, who was hiding behind Nan Chen.

She looks so familiar. Where have I met her before?

At the same time, Ning Ran remembered where they first met. This is such a small world. Isn’t this the lady that

wanted to pin Cheng Xiangyun’s head on the ground at the airport previously?

So she is Nan Chen’s mother?

My goodness. Poker Face acts coldly, but at least he is still reasonable.

But this mother of his! She’s just a crazy b*tch!

She might look demure and classy, but… No words can describe her horrible attitude!

Apart from Bai Hua, there was another person secretly checking out Ning Ran. Needless to say, this person was

Ouyang Qing.

She knew who Ning Ran was but never met her before this.

On the other hand, Ning Ran recognized Ouyang Qing because Nan Chen once brought the latter for some grilled

beef.

She was rather captivating and beautiful. Even from afar, she possessed an innocent and pure aura.

Furthermore, Nan Chen rarely had a female date. Hence, Ning Ran could remember all the ladies that went out

with him.

While Ning Ran was unsure about her exact identity, she could guess that Ouyang Qing must be exceptionally close

to the Nan family since she accompanied Nan Chen’s parents.

Bai Hua gave it further thought and finally knew who Ning Ran was.

She saw the girl once in a picture, and they also met at the airport previously. Back then, Ning Ran was even rude

to her!

This is the small-time actress that keeps clinging to my son!

Through his acute observation, Nan Chen could tell that there was a slight tension in the air. This is so weird. I

thought they never met. Why does it feel like they want to kill each other? Is this what happens when people meet

for the first time? Do they decide that they don’t like each other just from first impressions?
