My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 169

After the doctor left, Zheng Lunlun gave Ning Ran an embarrassed look, “You mustn’t…… laugh at me!”

“Of course, I wouldn’t laugh at you! There is no need to. You’re just sick, it isn’t your fault.” Ning Ran said gently.

“Then take…… take me out for hotpot!”

Ning Ran was shocked. She had thought that he was going to tell her a secret of some sort, but he asked her to take him out for hotpot instead.

What does this have to do with hotpot? Would a spicy meal be able to solve the stuttering problem?

“That’s……”

Zheng Lunlun saw the look on her face, “I knew…… knew you would…… dislike me!”

Ning Ran let out a long sigh in exhaustion.

When Zheng Lunlun spoke, she would look at him. Whenever he got stuck on a word, she felt like she was stuck on it too.

She wished she could just yank the words out of his throat.

If she felt this exhausted just by listening to him, then he must be feeling even worse trying to speak.

She now understood why Zheng Lunlun didn’t want to talk much earlier. Because each time he spoke, it felt like a long and grueling journey that only ended when the words came out.

Going through such a journey once or twice was fine, but how many would he have to go through with the amount of words he had to say each day? Anyone would be exhausted like that!

“I thought you didn’t like hotpot?” Ning Ran asked with a frown.

“I like it now.” Zheng Lunlun replied.

“So, you suddenly want to have hotpot?”

“Yes.”

“Has your stuttering stopped?” Ning Ran asked, surprised.

“I stutter if…… if I say…… more than three…… three words.” Zheng Lunlun said bitterly.

Ning Ran bit her lip, So that’s how it is! No wonder he never said more than three words!

“You’re mocking me!” Zheng Lunlun said angrily as he noticed Ning Ran was holding in her laughter by biting on her lip.

Ning Ran quickly waved at him, “No, I’m really not! We’re brothers, your pain is my pain! Why would I laugh at you? I was just thinking how good you must be at talking if you had to limit all your responses to three words!”

“Isn’t that still…… still mocking me?!” Zheng Lunlun got angrier as his stuttering happened again when he said more than three words at a time.

His face that was prettier than a girl’s was now red all the way down to the neck.

It pained her to see him like this.

“I’m really not mocking you! But, why didn’t you go get hotpot on your own?”

“Uncle wouldn’t let!”

It took Ning Ran a moment to realize that he meant to say Nan Chen wouldn’t let him.

“You mean he wouldn’t let you go out or have hotpot?” Ning Ran asked.

“Both!”

“Okay, keep your future speeches limited to three words at a time. That way, it’ll be easier on both of us. But, why wouldn’t he let you go out? You seem fit to be discharged by now.”

“Uncle wouldn’t let.” He repeated.

Communicating with a three word limit was indeed difficult, and Ning Ran could only force her brain to work harder in order to understand him.

Zheng Lunlun was a famous star, so if Nan Chen wouldn’t let him out, it must be for Zheng Lunlun’s own protection.

If the journalists or fans found out that Zheng Lunlun was stuttering, his commercial value would surely plummet to a new low.
