My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 556 Erbao Is Proud Of Herself

Unbelievable! She actually left me out of her thank-you speech! I set my work aside and bent my principle of not

attending any entertainment event to offer her moral support. I even gave her a hug with the whole world

watching. How could she leave me out of her stupid speech? What an ungrateful woman! I’m going to teach her a

lesson!

Temper flaring, Nan Chen stormed out from backstage.

Qiao Zhan advanced toward him and greeted respectfully, “Sir Chen.”

“Let’s go.”

“Erm… aren’t we supposed to wait for Madam?”

“Who the hell is that?” Nan Chen countered coldly.

Qiao Zhan was dumbfounded. They interacted well on the stage just now, didn’t they? How on earth did they end

up having a conflict again?

In the meantime, the twins were seated in front of the television, waiting in anticipation for Ning Ran to show up.

When she won the award, Dabao lost his usual composure and jumped down from the couch in exhilaration. “Oh

yeah! Mommy, well done!”

At the sight of her brother’s high spirits, Erbao, too, jumped down from the couch and cheered, “Oh yeah! Our

mommy is the greatest in this world!”

“Too bad.” Dabao was suddenly back to his normal self.

“Too bad? Why?” The girl scratched her head in puzzlement.

“How nice if Daddy could show up and propose to Mommy.”

“Ah! A surprise proposal like the soap opera. Does Daddy know the trick?” Erbao looked at her brother.

“No idea. But I think he should know.”

“I guess Daddy forgot. It’s all right. We can talk about it next time. Most importantly, Mommy won the award.”

“Yeah. We don’t have to worry about that now. As long as Daddy loves Mommy, it’s just a matter of time before he

proposes to her.”

“I’ll give Daddy a call now to ask when they will be back!” Erbao suggested excitedly.

Nan Chen’s phone rang just as the driver was about to start the car.

Deep down, he could not help snorting in exasperation. Hmph! How could that woman doesn’t even mention a

single word about me! Well, I’ll leave without her!

“Daddy, when will you and Mommy be back?” Erbao’s mellifluous voice sounded from the other end of the line.

“I’ll be home soon,” Nan Chen replied briefly.

“Is Mommy with you? Doesn’t she need to stay till the end of the ceremony?”

“I’ll be home first, and she’ll be back later.”

Hearing that, Erbao yelled anxiously, “How could you leave Mommy alone? What if she gets lost? She is bad with

directions!”

“She is bad with directions?” Nan Chen repeated in disbelief.

“Yeah! When we were overseas, Dabao and I were the ones leading the way. Mommy doesn’t have any sense of

direction. If you leave her alone there, she won’t be able to find her way home!” Erbao explained solemnly and did

not seem to be joking at all.

Feeling amused, Nan Chen chuckled. “Do you mean to say that you have a better sense of direction than her?”

“Of course! If you don’t believe it, you can ask Dabao. I’ve never lost my way so far!” she stated proudly.

Nan Chen was actually well aware of that. He recalled how she would go missing when they were out together. He

would become a bundle of nerves, but Ning Ran and Dabao were unfazed since Erbao always found her way back.

“So I should wait for her?” Nan Chen queried again.

“Yeah! If not, Mommy surely can’t find her way home. Imagine how she tries to find her way late at night. How

pitiful she is! So, Daddy, you must wait for her to be home together, okay?” Erbao reminded him again.

“Okay! Go to bed with Dabao first. Don’t worry. We’ll be home together.”

“It’s still not time for bed yet, and we’re not sleepy. We’ll wait for you and Mommy.”

“All right. Go to bed first if you feel sleepy later. Don’t stay up till too late, okay?” Nan Chen advised her.

“Hmm! We got it! Daddy, bye.”

“Bye,” Nan Chen replied and hang up the phone.

Next, he turned to instruct Qiao Zhan, “Just wait for a while more.”

“Didn’t you say that you wanted to leave moments ago?”

“According to my daughter, that silly woman doesn’t have a sense of direction. Thus, she insists I should wait for

her, fearing that her mommy will lose her way,” Nan Chen explained resignedly.

Qiao Zhan laughed. “But Madam doesn’t look like one without a sense of direction.”

“Huh? How can you jump to such a hasty conclusion? To me, she’s hopelessly foolish. Call Wang Xiaoou to give that

silly woman a call, telling her not to wait till the end of the ceremony. It’s just a small award for the best new artist.

Does she think she’s a celebrity? Why bother to stay there the whole night till the ceremony ends?”

“Madam deserves to be the winner of the award. She has good acting skills other than looking gorgeous…”

“Pfft!” Nan Chen snorted before he could finish his words.

“I mean, you’ve successfully groomed her into an excellent artist!” Qiao Zhan tried to appease him.

“Qiao Zhan, since when you are good at flattering others? Who did you learn it from?”

“Ah! I learn it from Jiang Zhe. He’s good at it!” Qiao Zhan shifted the blame onto Jiang Zhe.

The next second, he realized his slip of the tongue and tried to rectify the situation. “But I was not flattering just

now. I was being sincere.”

“Enough of that. Go and notify that woman and let her be prepared to leave.” Nan Chen stopped him from babbling

with a wave.

After a while, Ning Ran came out with Zheng Lunlun.

“I left right after receiving Ou’s call. Initially, I thought we could only leave after the ceremony ended. I didn’t know

that we could leave earlier!” Ning Ran chuckled.

“Uncle, where are you going now?” Zheng Lunlun asked curiously.

“Home. Do you want to come along?” Nan Chen turned to look at him.

“Can I? I haven’t seen Dabao and Erbao for quite a while. I’m thinking of visiting them too!” Zheng Lunlun

responded excitedly.

“Another day then. It’s a bit late now,” Nan Chen turned him down right away.

Zheng Lunlun caught a glimpse of his watch and retorted, “Are you sure? Well, it’s still early!”

“It’s late. Talk about it again next time!” Nan Chen turned him down resolutely.

In an instant, Zheng Lunlun was low in spirits. When you asked me to be back, I flew back from overseas at once.

And when you instructed me to carry out any tasks, I never let you down. But how could you kick me aside after the

mission was accomplished? As my senior, how could you do so?

“Why don’t we let him come along? It’s not really late too.” Ning Ran tried to speak up for him.

Nan Chen felt it might sound inconsiderate for him to continue turning his nephew down. Thus, he finally nodded

approvingly.

A blissful Zheng Lunlun pulled the door of the backseat open and was about to hop into the car.

Nonetheless, Nan Chen glared at him. It struck him at once that he had taken the wrong seat. The actor moved

swiftly and sat in the front passenger seat obediently.

Right that instant, a series of running footsteps sounded from behind them. “They’re over there! Look! They’re

hopping into the car!”

“Hurry up! Go after them!”

It turned out to be a group of reporters chasing after them. They had apparently spotted Zheng Lunlun and Ning

Ran when they tried to slip away.

Fortunately, they managed to flee at that moment. However, the reporters did not give up and finally tracked them

down.

“Hurry up! Don’t let the reporters catch us up!” Zheng Lunlun yelled out apprehensively.

Their Rolls-Royce sped off right after Qiao Zhan stepped on the accelerator. The reporters could only let out a wail

when it was out of sight.

“Uncle, I’ve never expected that you would show up today. What a great surprise! If I’m not mistaken, you’ve never

attended this kind of event, haven’t you?” Zheng Lunlun pointed out as he turned to gaze at Nan Chen inquisitively.

Nan Chen paid no heed to him.
