My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 598 Erbao Covering Up For Nan Xing

Despite Nan Chen’s denial, Ning Ran was convinced that she was right. She believed he visited the restaurant with a

pretty woman who must have meant a lot to him for him to remember this place.

That must be the reason he wanted to visit the restaurant so badly after so many years since his last visit to

Lightspring. “Do you feel nostalgic? You act as if you feel nothing, but deep down, you must feel sad. Don’t drink too

much or I won’t be able to carry you back,” Ning Ran muttered.

She seemed a little upset, but it wasn’t like she knew Nan Chen back then. Ning Ran knew she was being

unreasonable, but she couldn’t help feeling angry. That was why she said all that weird stuff to him.

Nan Chen looked up and gazed at her. “Do I look like I’m drinking too much?”

He was drinking the wine slowly. Plus, the alcohol level was too low for him to get drunk. “It appears so!” Ning Ran

insisted stubbornly. “It’s already in the past, just like the path you walked. You can look back, but you can never go

back to it,” he said.

She thought she had something. “So, do you admit you come here to remember your past? That you want to go

back to it, but you can’t? That you’re feeling sad and regretful?”

Nan Chen didn’t know what to say as he wondered how Ning Ran could be so sure that he was sad when he didn’t

show it.

Since she was being unreasonable and psychotic, he decided it was best to ignore her and continue his meal.

Ning Ran finally kept quiet when Nan Chen didn’t argue with her.

Silence ensued at the table.

Ning Ran regretted making things awkward between them.

Now he wouldn’t even talk to her.

“I just wanted to know how your first love was like. Can you tell me your story with her? Where is she now?” Ning

Ran finally asked.

However, Nan Chen continued to ignore her. He was irritated at how nosy she was.

Ning Ran kept quiet afterward since there was no point talking alone.

After they finished their respective jugs of wine, Nan Chen asked the waiter for the bill. Ning Ran was surprised

because she thought he would want to drink another jug of wine.

After the waiter presented the bill, Nan Chen handed it to Ning Ran.

“I’m paying?” She didn’t see it coming.

Nan Chen still didn’t say a word. Since she didn’t have any cash on her, she used WeChat to pay the bill.

Then, they left the restaurant and walked on the streets which were lit up. Although it was late at night, the wind

was unexpectedly warm and soothing.

“Shall we walk?” Ning Ran suggested.

Nan Chen nodded in agreement.

“Do you think Dr. Luo will agree to treat Erbao?” she asked.

“He will.”

“How can you be so sure?”

“A good doctor won’t let a child suffer.”

“What if he doesn’t agree?”

“Then I’ll pay him more. I’ll pay him whatever amount he wants. If he still doesn’t agree to it, he’s not a good

doctor. Only a kind-hearted and compassionate doctor will dedicate his time to researching medicine and

upgrading his medical skills. If he doesn’t have sympathy, it means he isn’t trustable as a doctor too. I’ll not let such

a quirk treat Erbao,” Nan Chen said.

Ning Ran had to agree that he had a point.

After strolling for a while, she felt tired and went back to the hotel.

Then, she washed up and called Erbao.

The girl seemed to be in good spirits although she was clearly thinner. She was lying sprawled on the sofa while

facing the phone camera.

“Mommy, have you found the doctor?”

“No. It’s late now. We’ll try again tomorrow.”

“Have you and Daddy eaten?”

“Yes, we have. Have you eaten? What did you eat?”

“I ate fried chicken, ice cream…”

Erbao stopped halfway as she realized she was giving herself away.

“Didn’t I tell you not to eat oily and cold food? Did Nan Xing give you those?”

“I only ate a little. Uncle Xing wouldn’t let me eat those at first until I cried and begged him.”

Knowing that Erbao was a sensible kid who rarely cried, Ning Ran guessed she was covering up for Nan Xing.

“Darling, you shouldn’t eat those because you haven’t recovered completely. Please be more patient, okay? I

promise to let you eat those foods once you recover.”

“Okay, Mommy. I’m sorry. I won’t do it again.”

At the same time, Dabao just finished showering. Hair dripping wet, he yelled at the phone, “Mommy! I’m the one

who let Erbao eat fried chicken. Don’t scold her.”

“Why did you?”

“She’s eating too little, and she needs energy to move around. Uncle Xing and I have no choice but to give her food

that she likes. Still, she couldn’t eat much,” Dabao explained.

A wave of sadness suddenly washed over Ning Ran. “We’ll try to get the doctor to cure your sister as soon as

possible.”

“Don’t worry, Mommy. I’ll take good care of Erbao. Uncle Xing and I are taking her out tomorrow. Maybe moving

around will help her improve her appetite.”

“Okay. Is there anything else you want to tell me? If not, please pass the phone to your uncle.”

“No, Mommy. You and Daddy take care. We’ll wait for you at Livingsfill.”

Ning Ran turned off her camera when Dabao handed the phone to her brother-in-law. “Thank you, Nan Xing.”

“Don’t mention it, Ning Ran. We’re a family.”

“I know it’s tiring to take care of two children. I’m sorry.”

“There’s nothing to feel bad about. Cheng Xiangyun is here to help me with them. I hope you and Chen return

sooner.”

“We’ll come back once we find the doctor,” Ning Ran replied.

After the conversation with Nan Xing, Ning Ran talked to Cheng Xiangyun and gave her some reminders before

hanging up.

When the call ended, Ning Ran felt empty. She went quiet for quite a while until Nan Chen broke the silence.

“Don’t worry, Erbao will get better. She’ll be fine,” he comforted.

“It’s your fault.” She glared at him.

“Why?” Nan Chen looked wronged.

“Before the twins’ reunion with you, we lived a happy and peaceful life despite being poor. After returning to Flower

City, there wasn’t a day where something crazy wasn’t going on! How am I supposed to not blame you? Everything

was fine before we reunited!” Ning Ran exclaimed.

Nan Chen went silent because she was right. He had no way of arguing about that.

“I never wanted our kids to be involved. It’s all my fault. I’m sorry.”

Ning Ran looked stunned because she didn’t expect him to apologize.

In fact, Nan Chen wasn’t entirely responsible for what had happened. They were just unlucky to encounter evil

people.

He knew it wasn’t his fault, but he apologized because he felt bad for the kids.

“Never mind. As long as we make sure Erbao is cured as soon as possible. Let’s go to sleep now.”
