My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 659 Prove

Ning Ran didn’t utter a single word on the way back. When she arrived at Mountview Inn, she went straight for a

bath before changing her clothes.

Nan Chen played with the children for a while before pulling out his laptop to handle his emails. Ning Ran wasn’t

feeling particularly great, so she entered the bedroom after she was done cleaning herself.

Soon after she lay on the bed, Nan Chen arrived in his pajamas. He didn’t need to use a crutch inside the building

because the walls were his support.

Just as he was about to lie down, Ning Ran stopped him. “There’s another bedroom next to this one. You should

sleep there.”

“The children are watching. Besides, I came all the way here to stay with you. How can you ask me to sleep in

another bed?” Nan Chen retorted.

I hate it when he uses the children as an excuse. Furrowing her eyebrows, she suggested, “You can sleep on the

couch.” “My leg’s impaired. What if I fall from the couch and hurt it again?”

“Fine, then I’ll just sleep on the couch. Are you happy with that?”

“Sounds good to me.” Nan Chen’s blunt answer ticked off Ning Ran. “That’s not right. This is my bedroom. What

right do you have to make me sleep on the couch?”

“I didn’t make you do that. You were the one who said you wanted to. There’s nothing I can do about it.”

She was so infuriated that she couldn’t squeeze a word out of her mouth. Then she left the bed and leaped onto the

couch.

However, she swiftly realized there wasn’t a blanket on the couch, so she turned back to the bed, ready to grab the

one on that furniture.

Unfortunately, Nan Chen was already lying on the bed with the blanket pinned underneath him. She couldn’t pull it

out.

“This is my blanket! Go find your own!” Ning Ran barked.

“I’m using this one. Why is it suddenly yours?”

Regardless of how hard she pulled, she couldn’t remove the blanket from his grip.

It blew her top off. Fine! I don’t want it anymore! It’s not like I’ll freeze to death!

Thus, she returned to the couch and lay there.

Seconds later, Nan Chen left the bed and approached the couch.

Ning Ran’s eyes remained shut as she was too annoyed to speak to him further.

“Go back to the bed and sleep there. If you don’t, I’ll have to carry you there while my leg’s still limping. Should I do

that, my injury will undoubtedly worsen. Are you really willing to see that? It’ll mean my recovery so far will be for

naught,” Nan Chen uttered.

Is he trying to put on a pitiful act, or is he threatening me? Maybe both? She wondered.

Seeing that she remained quiet, he bent down, as he said he would, and prepared to carry her.

That immediately spooked Ning Ran to leave the couch and crawl back to the bed.

Nan Chen then followed her and lay down next to her. “What’s putting a frown on your face?”

“Nothing. I’m happy right now, can’t you see?” Ning Ran spat.

“Really? Then why don’t I feel like you’re happy?”

“Just because you don’t feel it doesn’t mean I’m not happy.”

“Fine. You are happy, then. Sleep.”

However, Ning Ran couldn’t as she tossed and turned on the bed.

On the other hand, Nan Chen remained unmoved, as though he really was on the verge of falling asleep.

A sigh slipped out of her mouth as she stretched her leg and kicked him.

“Ouch!” he yelled.

Crap! Did I hit his injured leg? Wait, isn’t his left leg the one injured and not the right? Did my kick to his right leg

somehow cause his left to feel pain? Not to mention it was just a gentle kick. Is it really that painful? Ning Ran

speedily sat up and asked caringly, “Is it painful? I didn’t do it on purpose.”

In the next second, her head was suddenly pressed down, which was followed by a kiss.

The kiss was sudden and forceful, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Due to a lack of oxygen, pain began radiating from her chest.

When the kiss was over, Ning Ran took in multiple deep breaths. I was tricked again! ”What did Lu Jingyuan talk to

you about in private?”

“Have you been holding back the urge to ask that question until now?” Nan Chen inquired.

“No. I don’t care about it that much. I was just casually asking about it.”

“Well, since you don’t care about it, it’ll be pointless for me to tell you, so I won’t.”

“No, you have to!”

“You said you didn’t care about it, so why are you acting as if you do? Are you that bored?”

“Well, I may not care about it very much, but it’s still related to me.”

“And how is it related to you?”

“Lu Jingyuan’s my friend, so of course, it’s related to me! Just let me know what she talked to you about in private!”

“Must I tell you what your friend spoke about with me? It was a private conversation, meaning she didn’t want you

to know what she said. In that case, you’re better off not knowing. Why are you still asking?”

Ning Ran couldn’t produce an answer. “Are you going to tell me or not?”

“No.”

“Fine, then I’ll tell the children tomorrow that you’re a baddie because you and Lu Yunxue’s mommy have a secret

that we aren’t allowed to know about. My children are geniuses. Their intelligence is on par with ordinary adults’. Do

you think they won’t mind?” That was her ace up her sleeve.

“Are you crazy? I didn’t do anything inappropriate with her, so why are you planning to tell the children that?”

“I’m not crazy. If you don’t tell me what you talked about with her, how would I know if you did or didn’t do

something inappropriate?”

“Do you have a loose screw in your head? It’s nothing notable at all, truly.” Nan Chen was enraged.

“If it’s nothing notable, then just tell me about it already. Why hide it instead?”

This woman’s getting more and more difficult to deal with! Although, it’s my fault for spoiling her rotten! In the end,

he relented. “She merely wondered if I had met her before.”

“She thought she met you before? Does this mean she found you familiar?”

“I suppose so. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have asked that question,” Nan Chen answered honestly.

That made Ning Ran even more anxious. “You never met her before? Or are you just pretending you never did?”

“I’m not sure.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“It’s possible we met a long time ago, but I didn’t pay attention to her, so I don’t remember. Or maybe I genuinely

have never come across her before. Thus, I have no impression of her. Both are possible, and it’s why I’m unsure.”

While Nan Chen’s answer seemed reasonable and truthful, Ning Ran, who was already skeptical, couldn’t help but

feel uneasy.

She arranged for a meeting because she hoped she would obtain a concrete answer that would lay her preexisting

unease to rest.

However, his yet another dubious answer only made it worse.

“I do think you two had met before. Otherwise, Lu Jingyuan wouldn’t have conversed with you in private. Something

must’ve happened between you two in the past.”

“Maybe,” Nan Chen replied.

Suddenly, anger rose in Ning Ran’s voice. “Get out! I don’t want you to stay in the same room as me anymore!”

“Aren’t we just having a normal chat? Why are you suddenly so angry?” Her abrupt reaction irked Nan Chen.

She was also confused by her sudden outburst, but it was undeniable that she didn’t want to look at him anymore

for the time being.

“You don’t want to leave? Fine, I’ll go.” Enraged, she was prepared to leave.

Grabbing her hand, Nan Chen asked, “Can you stop messing around?”

“No, unless you can prove to me that you have never met Lu Jingyuan before for certain!”

That made him feel helpless. After all, it was easy for someone to prove they had met a specific individual before.

They just had to name the time and place.

However, how should one prove they had never encountered a certain person before?
