My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 748

Dabao and Erbao were having the time of their life in the new house, as there were many interesting things for

them to explore.

The two children focused on different things. While Erbao was busy exploring the unique features around the

building, Dabao began to study the pros and cons of the high-tech residential unit.

Eventually, Dabao arrived at a conclusion, citing that there was still room for improvement to make the house

smarter and safer.

Upon hearing that, Ning Ran started panicking. “Don't you dare mess with all the high-tech stuff in the house. It'll be

disastrous if you mess them up.”

Nan Chen immediately came out and defended Dabao. “My son is a genius. He won't mess things up. Dabao, feel

free to do anything to give this house a makeover, but whatever you do, make sure you don't do it at the expense

of the safety of this place.”

Ning Ran was at a loss for words. Why does he always have to go against me? Can't he just step back and let me

handle the kids? He had always been a quiet man, but every time I try to teach the kids, he'll always have

something to say.

“Don't worry, Mommy. I won't mess things up. I'll only remediate the defects in the house. These defects will take a

toll on the building's security if they're not fixed. I'll take care of them,” the confident Dabao assured.

Ning Ran was relieved to hear that, as she knew she could always count on her son.

“All right, you kids have fun. Your mom and I will have to run some errands,” Nan Chen said to the children.

Erbao waved her hand. “Okay, bye!”

She could not wait to explore the other parts of the house once her parents left.

“Where are we going? What errands?” Ning Ran asked.

“You'll find out soon. Come with me.” Nan Chen did not explain further.

Instead of getting his chauffeur to drive, Nan Chen drove the car and left the most luxurious villa in Flower City.

“You don't really like the villa, do you?” Nan Chen tilted his head to look at Ning Ran.

“I like it, but it looks like a building that comes out of a sci-fi movie. It's a little surreal.” Ning Ran chuckled.

He responded, “Yeah, it doesn't resemble a house in the traditional sense, and it'll take time for you to accept it. By

the way, I've prepared another gift for you.”

“Gift? What gift? Is it jewelry? Giving me cash would have saved you the hassle of getting me gifts,” Ning Ran said.

Nan Chen glared at her. What an uncouth woman.

“What do you need cash for?” he asked icily.

Ning Ran grinned. “It's just a joke. Why do you have to be so serious? What a stick in the mud.”

A vortex of anger swirled inside Nan Chen. How dare she call me a stick in the mud? Even if I am, how could she

say it out loud?

Ning Ran could not hold her laughter upon seeing the grim expression on Nan Chen's face. “It was a joke! Everyone

loves and adores you, Sir Chen. No one will ever think of you as a stick in the mud.”

“Isn't that how Erbao described herself? You're describing me with words that a little girl used to praise herself. Do

you really that that's appropriate?” Nan Chen's expression turned even grimmer.

Ning Ran burst into laughter.

Indeed, Erbao had always claimed that she was a beauty everyone loved and adored. Ning Ran was surprised that

Nan Chen still remembered the remark Erbao had made.

Nan Chen glanced at her and saw her smiling like a gorgeous bloom. I have to admit that she has a really pretty

smile.

“I met Ding Fei last night.” He diverted her attention to a more serious matter.

“Oh? You met her at night, huh? You're not thinking of dating her, are you? She's quite a looker but has a stiff

expression,” Ning Ran said.

“Yes, she's stiff,” Nan Chen echoed.

Ning Ran asked, “So, you're really thinking of going on a date with her?”

“I agree with you when you said she has a stiff expression. I'm not the kind of guy who will date any woman,” Nan

Chen expressed his dismay.

“Then why did you meet her?”

He answered, “Huang Zichao said Ding Fei was trying to harm you. She wanted him to defame you to tarnish your

reputation. So I suspect the culprit that tried to get rid of you was Ding Fei. I had to meet up with her to gather

some evidence.”

“You met up with her alone?” This question still bothered Ning Ran.

“Jiang Zhe was present as well.”

Upon realizing her concern, a hard glint flashed across his eyes. “Anyway, that's not the point! I went to meet her

because I was worried about your safety. It wasn't a date in the first place!”

Ning Ran nodded. “Yeah, I guess so. You wouldn't be interested in her anyway.”

“What makes you think so?” Nan Chen questioned in return.

“She has a stiff expression and is not as pretty as me,” Ning Ran answered nonchalantly.

A corner of his lips quirked up. “Are you trying to say that you've captured my attention, but she failed to do so?”

“No, no. That's not what I meant. I was merely making a casual remark. Don't overthink it,” Ning Ran clarified with

a smile.

Nan Chen, who wanted to talk to Ning Ran about Ding Fei, realized he got sidetracked.

He immediately drew her attention back to the initial topic. “Ding Fei seems to remind me of someone. I think I'd

met her before, but somehow, I have no idea who she was.”

“Exactly!” Ning Ran exclaimed all of a sudden. She clapped her hand and said, “I have the same feeling too!”

Nan Chen asked, “Really? Could Ding Fei be someone we knew from the past? We might have forgotten who she

was as the years went by.”

“I don't think so. You have a great memory, right? I heard you're able to call the members from your senior

management by their names even though you've only met them once,” Ning Ran asked.

Nan Chen nodded. “That's true. But of course, there are times I don't remember things. I'm only human, after all.”

“But if you think she looks familiar, you must have met her more than once. How can you forget since you have a

super memory? Besides, we've only known each other for a short time, and we don't have many common friends,

so I don't think she's one of them,” Ning Ran analyzed.

“So what's your thought on this?”

“I don't know.”

Her response rendered Nan Chen speechless. She gave a sound analysis, yet she didn't have a conclusion. What is

this?

As the car drove on, Ning Ran found the sceneries around the neighborhood to be familiar. Soon, she realized it

was the road leading to the Ning residence.

As expected, Nan Chen parked his car outside the house.

“Why did you bring me here?” Ning Ran got a little agitated as she had not returned to this place for years. So

much has changed.

“This is where you grew up, right?” Nan Chen asked.

“Yes, but Ning Ziqiang has mortgaged the house. It's not my house anymore.”

After opening the car door, Nan Chen took a house deed from a box and passed it to Ning Ran.

Ning Ran's name was printed on the document.

“You bought the house?” Ning Ran could not believe her eyes.

“This is my gift for you—your family house. If you still prefer cash, feel free to sell it away,” Nan Chen said

nonchalantly.

Tears welled up in Ning Ran's eyes. Knowing she was about to cry, she immediately looked up at the sky.

“Go in and take a look. I got the team to renovate the house, but we didn't alter the structure.” Nan Chen gave her

the key.

“Thank you. Thank you so much!”

Ning Ran inched closer and hugged Nan Chen. Tears began to roll down her cheeks.

She pulled herself back a few seconds later, as she was worried her tears might stain his expensive suit.
