My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Nan Chen then left the scene with Ning Ran in front of everyone, shocking the crowd. So it’s true! A rich man really

did take a liking to Ning Ran!

After getting in the car, Ning Ran immediately asked about Nan Chen’s wound. “Does it still hurt?”

“I’ve just been cut. Why don’t you try it and see for yourself if it hurts?” Nan Chen suggested sarcastically.

Ning Ran was taken aback. What happened to the man that has supported me earlier? But he’s right. The wound’s

bleeding, so how can it not hurt? That was a stupid question.

“Should we go to the hospital then?”

“I told you we’re not going.” Nan Chen sounded impatient but Ning Ran knew that was just how the man always

talked.

“Fine. Then where are we going now?”

“Home. Where else?” Nan Chen continued with his sarcasm.

“Which one?”

“The villa in Red Maple City, of course. Do you have a lot of villas that we can choose from?”

Ning Ran was starting to get tired of all the sarcasm. “That’s not what I meant. I’m asking if you want to go to the

Commoner Residence.”

“Do you want the children to know that I’m hurt so that they can worry about me? Are you trying to traumatize

them?”

Ning Ran was getting nervous. “Of course not! You know what I meant. Why are you twisting my words?”

Leaning back, Nan Chen closed his eyes to rest and stopped talking.

“Are you hurting? Do you need me to blow on it?”

“What do you think you are? An angel that can perform miracles through her breath? Do you think I’m a child that

needs his boo-boo blown?”

Ning Ran suddenly realized how foolish she sounded. It’s probably because I got used to dealing with the kids from

all the time I spent with them.

Erbao would occasionally bump her head or something and would ask Ning Ran to blow on where it hurt. She would

also assure her daughter that it did not hurt anymore.

The method had become second nature to Ning Ran, who unwittingly applied it to Nan Chen.

While the two were still talking, they arrived at the Red Maple City villa. Ning Ran quickly got out of the car to help

Nan Chen. In response, he rolled his eyes at her. “I can walk myself.”

“Okay.” Unsure of what else to do or say, Ning Ran followed the man upstairs.

“What did the reporter say to make you throw wine at him?” asked Nan Chen suddenly. His abrupt question made

Ning Ran wondered if she was in trouble.

“He said vile things about my mother. He can say whatever he wants about me, but not my mother.” Ning Ran

looked at Nan Chen with obstinance.

“So you’re saying that you’ll put up with it if he besmirches you?”

“That’s right. I’m sorry. I know I got into trouble again, but I really can’t help it.”

“Even if that reporter is not insulting your mother, you don’t have to be silent. Who is he to bully you?” asked Nan

Chen coldly.

Ning Ran stared at the man, unsure if he was still being sarcastic. It doesn’t sound like it. Besides, he’s a

straightforward man.

“So I’m not in trouble?”

“It doesn’t matter if he’s besmirching you or your family. Even if he’s not besmirching anyone, as long as he has

malicious intentions, you should stand up for yourself. You even dared to stand up to me, so why not him?

“You’re right. I don’t have to stay silent. Who the hell does he think he is anyway?” Ning Ran could not agree more.

“Wait a minute, are you only telling me this to make me feel better when in fact deep down you’re blaming me?”

Something felt off to Ning Ran.

“Wang Xiaoou told you to play nice with the reporters, didn’t she?” asked Nan Chen.

“She did, and I listened. What happened today was an exception.” Ning Ran still assumed that she was in trouble. I

knew it! He made it sound like I’m scot-free, but I’m definitely not off the hook yet.

“Wang Xiaoou is a great talent manager, and she’s very experienced in helping artistes to build constructive

relationships with all parties, so she’d be right most of the time,” continued Nan Chen.

“I know.” Ning Ran lowered her head and dared not to retort.

“But not all the time.”

“Huh?” Ning Ran wondered what the man was trying to say.

“We try to focus on the big picture as much as we can, but that doesn’t mean you have to be a pushover. That’s no

way to live.”

“Do you mean that?” Ning Ran wanted to confirm.

“We’re only having this discussion because I want you to know that I meant what I said in front of the crowd. If you

run into something like that again, defend yourself, but do it with words if possible and pay in mind the occasion, or

you’ll make things worse for yourself. One more thing, why didn’t you just throw the glass at the guy instead of just

the wine?”

Ning Ran was finally sure that Nan Chen meant what he said, and she suddenly felt like laughing. Sir Chen’s

definitely one of a kind. He sure is interesting!

“So are you giving me the approval to do that?” retorted Ning Ran.

“No, I just think that’s what you should’ve done.”

“Well, I don’t want to get into trouble.”

“You stood up to me. What could be worse than that?” Nan Chen responded with a comeback, and Ning Ran finally

burst out laughing.

He then gave the woman a look. “You got it?”

“Got what?”

“What I said just now.”

“Yes, I got it.”

“Repeat it back to me then.”

“I shouldn’t let anybody bully me. If any b*stards try to do so, I should defend myself.”

“Alright, you more or less got it, but remember to mind your surroundings. If you’re at a disadvantage, you’ll have

to hold it in, or you’ll make it harder for yourself. Wait for the right time to strike back.”

What Nan Chen said made sense to Ning Ran, and she was glad for the advice. It’s like guerilla warfare. Sometimes,

it’s better to retreat and live to fight another day.

“You’re at an advantage if I’m around. So if anyone tries to bully you in my presence, just give them hell! When I’m

not around, you should only do that if my men are on the scene. If neither my men nor I am around, you have to

think on your feet and wait for the right time. Got it?”

“Got it!” replied Ning Ran seriously.

Not only was she familiar with the tactic, but she was actually quite good at it.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. I got all of it,” promised Ning Ran.

“Okay. Come here then.” Nan Chen gestured to her by curling his finger.

“What for?”

“Take off my clothes.”

“What?”

“Quit standing around! My arm’s hurt, and it will bleed if I exert myself. So naturally, you’ll have to do it.” Nan Chen

scowled at Ning Ran.

After pondering for a while, Ning Ran thought that it was only fair since she was the reason he was hurt.

“Fine, I’ll help you.” Ning Ran approached the man and carefully took off his suit.

She then looked at Nan Chen, who was down to his undershirt. Do I have to go on?

“What are you staring at? Do it!”

“Do I have to take this off too?”

“Of course! Do you wear a shirt when you shower?” responded Nan Chen impatiently.

“You want to take a shower? I don’t think you should since you’re injured.”

“I can’t sleep if I don’t.”
