My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 757

By the time Ning Ran returned to Raining Pavilion, she was surprised to see Nan Chen back. He was sitting on the

couch in the living room, solemnly talking about something.

The two children were in small chairs as they sat opposite Nan Chen and listened to him.

The moment Ning Ran came back, Erbao hopped off the chair and hugged Ning Ran's leg. “Mommy...”

The girl sounded distressed, and Ning Ran could not help but wonder what Nan Chen had said to them.

“What did you do? Why is the girl so frightened?” Ning Ran questioned angrily.

“I didn't do anything,” Nan Chen responded with an innocent look.

“Then why is she so upset?”

“I was telling the kids how to save themselves if their parents were kidnapped by bad guys,” Nan Chen somberly

explained.

“Why are you talking about this? Look at how you've frightened Erbao. It's okay, Darling, Daddy's only talking about

the 'what if's,” Ning Ran reassured as she lifted the girl into her arms.

“Daddy's right. It's good for us to learn how to save ourselves. That way, we'll have a higher chance of escaping if

we encounter bad guys. I think it's necessary for us to be taught this. Daddy's only talking about a possibility, but

Erbao's already scared out of her wits. All the more reason why Daddy should teach us about this,” Dabao uttered,

showing his support for Nan Chen's actions.

At that, Nan Chen turned to Ning Ran and gave her a look. “Look, even your son's more reasonable than you.”

“How are children as young as them going to save themselves? They're still young, and the adults should be

protecting them. What we need to do is to ensure that they won't be kidnapped in the first place—not teach them

how to save themselves after they're kidnapped!” Ning Ran disagreed.

“Of course we have to protect them to the best of our ability, but that doesn't mean accidents won't happen. That's

why it's necessary for us to teach them about ensuring their own safety. It's just like fire and earthquake drills. They

might not ever encounter one in their lives, but they should know the necessary information for them to stay safe.

That way, they'll have a higher chance to stay unscathed.”

Nan Chen was not going to back down. He felt that he was right and that even his son knew why he was teaching

them these. As a matter of fact, he found it absurd that Ning Ran did not agree with him.

“All right, that's enough, Mommy. Daddy's right. He just wants us to be more capable and be able to protect

ourselves.” Even Erbao was siding with Nan Chen now.

At that, Ning Ran thought; You little traitor, you're changing sides so quickly!

“Okay, this is the end of the argument. Continue what you were doing earlier. I'm going to pack my bag now. I'll be

going back to filming tomorrow,” Ning Ran then said.

“You don't need to rush back tomorrow. I promised to bring the kids to Commoner Residence to eat with their

great-grandma.”

“But I promised the director that I'll go back tomorrow...”

“I've already talked to the director, and they said they'll be filming another scene first. Stay for another day or two

before leaving. Once you go to the filming site, you'll stay there until you're done with your scenes,” Nan Chen said.

“I...”

“All right, it's settled then.”

“But there's no one at Livingsfill's inn right now. My goldfish hasn't had a change of water for days. If I don't do it

soon, they're going to die,” Erbao chimed in.

“I'll call Ms. Lu and ask her to make a trip to the inn to change the water for you. I'll also ask her to hang my filming

attires out to dry,” said Ning Ran.

“All right. Also, ask Ms. Lu to bring Lu Yunxue there. She knows how to feed my goldfish. If the fish eats too much,

it's going to die,” Erbao continued.

“Okay, okay. I'll make arrangements for your stuff, all right?”

Erbao pouted. “It's important!”

“Yes, of course. My dear daughter's matters are always important matters. How could they not be? Ms. Ning, please

mind your words!” Nan Chen solemnly uttered.

Ning Ran froze.

Are they really ganging up against me? Oh well, who cares? Time for a shower.

After showering and changing, Ning Ran came back out to find the two children watching cartoons. Meanwhile, Nan

Chen had gone to the study room to work.

Ning Ran then brew some coffee and brought it to the study room for Nan Chen.

Brewing coffee was a skill Nan Chen had taught her when they were at Livingsfill.

Back then, Ning Ran thought that Nan Chen was sweet to have taught her how to brew coffee. Later on, she

realized he was only teaching her so that she could brew coffee for him when he was too busy to do it himself.

Otherwise, he would have to resort to drinking instant coffee.

Nan Chen then took the coffee cup from her before taking a whiff of its scent. “You're improving, but you haven't

mastered it yet.”

Promptly, Ning Ran reached out her hand to snatch the coffee cup back. “Give it back to me if you don't want to

drink it.”

Nan Chen quickly blocked her hand. “When did I say I wasn't going to drink it? I'm only saying that you have room

for improvement; I wasn't saying that it was bad. You met with Ouyang Li today, right? What did she say?”

“Nothing much. She doesn't know where Ding Fei came from either. Ding Fei appeared out of nowhere and

provided her with great financial support. But, of course, the money was something Ouyang Li will need to return.

Also, Ding Fei invested in a film under Ouyang Li's name and wanted to play the first female lead. Apparently, she

wants to screen her film before ours. Her film is similar to ours, and if they screen it first, our film's reception will

certainly be affected. I'm sure you know that.”

Nan Chen bobbed his head a little after hearing Ning Ran's words. “It's about the same as what I've speculated. Is

there anything else? Did she admit to working together with Ding Fei to harm you?”

“No. I think she really wasn't involved with the plan. She has a lot of things to deal with in Flower City, and I doubt

she has the time and energy to be part of it. However, she did admit to knowing that Ding Fei wanted to harm me.

Of course, she didn't have the obligation to warn me about it, but that's understandable.”

“Right. To Ouyang Li, the enemy of her enemy is a friend. That's not difficult to comprehend.”

“That's all we talked about, but I'm guessing that there's someone else behind Ding Fei. Ouyang Li assumes so as

well.”

“So, does Ding Fei actually have a grudge against us, or is it the one behind her? Perhaps both bear a grudge

against us,” Nan Chen suggested.

“I won't be surprised if there's someone else behind her, but as to whether or not that person bears a grudge

against us, I have no idea. If we're talking about Ding Fei alone, I think I can say for sure that she hates me. That's

something obvious from the look she has when I'm around. She feels like a stranger, but I find her a little familiar.

Do you feel that too? Is it possible that she's someone we know? Perhaps an old acquaintance?” Ning Ran said,

voicing her guesses out loud.

“That's possible.”

“So why can't we recognize who she is?” Ning Ran wondered.

“What do you think?”

“She changed her appearance?”

“There you go. And you say you didn't know anything about this. I, too, think that she changed her appearance. It's

nothing difficult for someone to change their looks with how advanced plastic surgery is now. Celebrities would be a

good example. They look so different after surgery.”

Ning Ran nodded in agreement. “So, chances are, Ding Fei is someone who has changed her looks. But who is

she?”

“There aren't many people that both of us know at the same time, let alone those who bear a grudge against us,”

Nan Chen remarked.

“Could it be her?”

Nan Chen shook his head. “I'm not sure. I don't have any evidence right now, and evidence is what we need to

prove our suspicions. Regardless of who she is and who the one behind her is, she wants to kill you, and that makes

her our enemy. I can't let her do as she pleases anymore. I won't let her ruin anything anymore.”
