My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 481

Nan Chen began walking up the stairs after she was done wiping him.

“Hey! Stop!” Ning Ran shouted at him, “Didn’t you say that you’re going to tell me a secret?”

“What secret?” Nan Chen asked without even looking back at her.

“Don’t play dumb with me! You said you were going to tell me a secret! How would I know what that secret is?”

Ning Ran after him, but he simply ignored her and went into the bathroom. After taking a shower and drying his hair, he came out dressed in a robe, only to find Ning Ran standing in the doorway.

It seemed like she had a lot to drink as her face was red, and she was still holding a glass of wine in her hand.

“You seem to be in a good mood.” Nan Chen shot her a glance as he walked past her.

“You could say that, but I’d be in a much better mood if you’d tell me that secret of yours!” Ning Ran said with a smile.

“What secret do you want to know?”

Nan Chen poured himself a glass of wine, clinked glasses with her, and took a sip.

“How would I know what that secret is? You’re the one who said you had a secret!”

“I did?”

“Yes, when you were downstairs by the pool.”

Nan Chen gave it some thought and shook his head. “I forgot.”

Ning Ran almost yelled at him in frustration. You forgot? Bullsh*t!

“Forget it, I know you’re just toying with me anyway! I heard that the new film will begin shooting soon. Thank you so much for that, Nan Chen! I wouldn’t have been able to make it this far without your help! Here’s to you, cheers!” Ning Ran raised her glass at him.

Nan Chen froze, thinking he had misheard her.

Is she actually being polite with me and thanking me?

“Say that again.” Nan Chen said.

“Huh?”

“Say that again.”

“Did I say something wrong or something? I was just being honest with you! Are you that much of a masochist that you only hear insults from me?”

“Repeat what you just said.” Nan Chen insisted.

He only nodded in satisfaction after she did as told. “All right, I heard you loud and clear.”

“Is the great Sir Chen suffering from hearing impairments? How did you not hear that?”

Nan Chen ignored her insults and strolled over to the balcony to look at the night sky.

Ning Ran walked up to him and looked out the window as well, but all she saw was a pitch-black sky.

“The Nan family and Ouyang family have been close friends for generations.” Nan Chen said all of a sudden.

Ning Ran tensed up a little. Why is he bringing that up now?

“As you know, both our families have a huge influence in this province. We work together and compete with each other at the same time. Despite the friendly facade we maintain in public, there are a lot of conflicts going on internally. Ouyang Duo isn’t content with staying in Pearl City. He wants to have Sunshine Corporation’s headquarters based in Flower City and be at the top of the food chain here. Because of my young age, he underestimates my capabilities and doesn’t see me as a threat at all. He waited a long time for me to make a mistake, but I never did. Eventually, his patience wore out, and he slipped up instead. I took advantage of that opportunity and made a huge amount of money out of him, so he’s been holding a grudge against me ever since.” Nan Chen stopped there.

Ning Ran figured he must have told her all that for a reason and waited for him to continue, but he didn’t.

“That’s the secret I was going to tell you.” Nan Chen added casually.
