My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 141

Ning Ran went upstairs and Cheng Xiangyun asked suspiciously, “Did you two have a great time? Where did you go?”

“We only stayed in the car.” Ning Ran answered casually.

“Oh my god! In the car? Aren’t you afraid of peeping Toms? What a way to spice things up!” Cheng Xiangyun exclaimed.

“Why should we be afraid of others seeing us?” Ning Ran got confused.

“Okay you are right. Since you both are getting married soon anyways.”

Ning Ran finally understood her words, “Cheng, you and your filthy thoughts! It’s not what you think. I just brought him some pills, and we talked for a while in the car, that’s all.”

“Hey, don’t you think Master Xing doesn’t seem quite like his usual self today?” Cheng Xiangyun asked with an enigmatic expression.

“His reaction seems to be a little slower today. Perhaps the spicy steamboat got into his head.” Ning Ran mocked.

“Master Xing normally doesn’t look like this, because he’s always fun and jolly. It just felt weird when he came in today.”

Ning Ran’s imagination ran wild for a bit. Is he…nope, not possible. What’s wrong with me…

“I guess as humans we do act differently at different times, nothing too unusual.” Ning Ran said.

“You think so? He seemed more steady and down-to-earth tonight.” Cheng Xiangyun’s words planted an idea in Ning Ran’s mind. She took out her phone and called Nan Xing.

Nan Xing had two numbers. No one answered the first number, so she continued dialing the second one.

The phone rang but no one picked up. She called again and finally someone answered, “Hello?”

“Where are you?” Ning Ran asked.

“I’m still driving. I just left Ms. Cheng’s neighborhood, remember?”

Ning Ran was relieved to hear that, “Does your stomach still hurt?”

“The pills you gave are very effective. I feel better now.” He said.

“Alright. Go home and rest then.” Ning Ran then ended the call.

Nan Xing suddenly called back and said, “Oh yes, I found a new school for the children. I will send them to school tomorrow.”

Before Ning Ran could say anything, Nan Xing had already hung up.

It was the classic ‘I’m just informing you, no negotiation’ attitude.

This does not seem like Nan Xing’s style of doing things. Since when did he learn to be so domineering? Or… is this the real him?

Ning Ran entered the children’s room. Dabao was watching Erbao as she was doing sit ups.

Erbao ate a little too much and needed to exercise to stay in a good shape.

“Nan Xing called. He had contacted the new school, and will come fetch you tomorrow.”

Erhao shouted with joy, “Oh yes! We can finally go to school again!”

“Who called? Daddy or Uncle?” Dabao suddenly asked.

“Nan Xing did. Why do you ask?” Ning Ran was puzzled.

“Nothing.” Dabao nearly blurted out ‘that was not daddy, that was Uncle’, but he had promised Nan Chen to keep this a secret.

Though he could not understand why Uncle would put on a pair of white suit to impersonate his daddy, he felt that Uncle had no ill intentions and decided to play along.

“Are you hiding something from me?” Ning Ran asked suspiciously.

No matter how smart Dabao was, Ning Ran could tell whether he was hiding something. Dabao was her son, after all.

“Nope.” Dabao denied quickly.

“You sure?”

“Yes. Not hiding anything from you.” Dabao shook his head vigorously.

In his heart, he was trying to convince himself that he was not lying to his mother. The mastermind behind this is Uncle, not me!

“Alright then. Clean yourselves up. It’s time for bed. You have to go to school early tomorrow.”

……

On the next day, Nan Chen drove to Cheng Xiangyun’s neighborhood, and used the phone Nan Xing left at home to call Ning Ran.

Ning Ran checked the time and thought it was still early.

“The kids haven’t taken their breakfast. Wait for a while.”
