My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 342

Everyone was in high spirits after the video and chatter filled the hall.

In no time at all, the birthday cake was brought forward. Nan Zhengde was not as young as he used to be and was unable to stay up too late. Hence, instead of waiting until twelve midnight to cut the cake, they decided to move the time forward.

“Great-Grandpa, I still haven’t given you my present yet!” Dabao suddenly exclaimed as he rushed over to stand before Nan Zhengde.

“Really? My darling has something for me as well? You’re already the best present I can get!” the old man replied with a chuckle.

The little boy’s face was serious as he said, “My present is really special! Make sure to get a good look, Great-Grandpa.”

“Okay. I’ll love it no matter what you give me!” Nan Zhengde was in a wonderful mood.

“Alright. Then prepare yourself, Great-Grandpa!”

With that said, Dabao headed for a nearby table where a laptop was resting.

His fingers flew across the keys rapidly before he told Nan Zhengde, “Great-Grandpa, count to three and look over there.”

Although confused, Nan Zhengde did as instructed. “One, two, three…”

The word “three” had barely left his lips when the guests cried out in shock.

The reason for their outburst? All the lights in the direction Dabao had asked Nan Zhengde to look in had been turned off.

The view out the windows was amazing, showing the busiest part of Flower City. This part of the city was perpetually lit up by neon lights and was always bustling no matter the time of day.

But at that moment, everything was plunged into darkness. Not a single speck of light could be seen.

“What’s happening? Did that kid just cut off the electricity for that part of the city?”

“Oh my, how did he do that?”

Just then, light burst into life among the sea of darkness. However, it was only limited to the massive screens on the sides of the buildings. Since this was the most prosperous area of the city, nearly every single one of the high-rise buildings had large screens built into their sides.

Currently, all the screens were lit up brightly but the usual advertisements were nowhere to be seen.

Instead, every single one of the screens showed the same content: Sirui and Sihan wish Great-Grandpa a happy birthday!

Against the dark backdrop of the night, the words were glaringly obvious.

It was almost like half the city was celebrating Nan Zhengde’s birthday with him. The sight was absolutely glorious!

“How wonderful!” Some of the guests began to cheer.

“Wow, that’s amazing! How did he do that?”

Dabao’s voice cut through the noise, reaching Nan Zhengde’s ears, “Great-Grandpa, could you count to three again?”

“Sure. One, two, three…”

On the count of three, the darkened city lit up again.

Once more, everybody present cheered and clapped.

It had taken less than a minute for the city to go from total darkness to lighting up the night sky again. The visual display was incredible and indescribable unless one personally experienced it themself.

Ning Ran was absolutely stunned. She had not expected that this was what Dabao had planned in mind. She also could not wrap her mind around how he managed to do all that using only a laptop.

“That kid is a genius! He’s amazing!”

“As expected of the Nan family. So young yet so capable already! It’s shocking!”

Praise for the young boy rang out incessantly.

At last, it was time to sing the birthday song. All the lights in the hall dimmed before a sweet and melodious child’s voice drifted through the air. “Happy birthday to you…”

The angelic voice belonged to none other than Erbao.

Her brother had gotten his chance to show off earlier so now it was her turn. I’m not going to lose to my brother!

Under her lead, everyone started to sing along as well. At the end of the song, the two children blew out the candles together with Nan Zhengde.

Just as everyone was busy cheering, the distant sound of explosions could be heard.

Brilliant fireworks exploded off in the distance, gradually nearing where they were. They followed the Emerald River, leaving shimmering ribbons of color in their wake.

Nan Chen and Ning Ran were bewildered. Why is she asking for Nan Xing the moment she wakes up?

You little glutton! Is food all you can think about?

“Huh? Even I don’t know about that. How did you know?”
