My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 497

The car rolled to a stop at the entrance of the sauna.

Nan Chen thought deeply for a moment before raising his arm and gesturing for the driver to continue driving.

It was pretty late at night, and he didn’t want them to remain here any longer than was necessary. He decided to make the woman wait until they got home to wash up.

They drove back to the villa at Red Maple City. Ning Ran got out of the car and breathed a long sigh of relief as she looked at the familiar house in front of her. At least she made it back here alive.

“The kids are at Commoner Residence, not here. Go and wash up quickly.”

“Shouldn’t there be some sort of ceremony?” Ning Ran asked suddenly.

Nan Chen looked at her in confusion. “What ceremony? Do you want me to call up a bunch of people and have them scream praises at the gates as they welcome you back?”

“No, thanks. When I was a kid, however, my family used to set off fireworks whenever one of my relatives got back from jail. I heard it helped to ward off bad luck. If I go in just like that, won’t I be filling up the house with all sorts of bad luck?”

Nan Chen didn’t say anything.

Ning Ran said despondently, “I think I’d better not step into the house.”

“You didn’t go to jail, and you have no bad luck to speak of. What are you even talking about?” Nan Chen asked coldly.

“Well, you didn’t say anything! I thought you minded. I don’t want to cause you any inconvenience.” Ning Ran said.

“I’m okay with you causing me inconvenience…” Nan Chen mumbled.

“What was that?”

“Oh my God, would you stop talking? It’s so cold out here—are you trying to get a cold or something? Besides, you stink. Go and take a shower and change out of these clothes!” Nan Chen said, suddenly impatient.

Ning Ran brought her arm to her nose and took a deep sniff. She thought she didn’t stink that much.

“Fine. Should I go in now?”

“If you don’t want to, that’s fine by me. You can freeze to death out here by yourself. I’m going in.”

As soon as Nan Chen finished speaking, he turned around and stalked into the house.

Ning Ran chased after him. “Of course I’m coming in! It’s freezing outside.”

She ran upstairs and was about to head into the bedroom to get her clothes when Nan Chen pushed her directly into the bathroom.

“Stop stinking up the whole house! Go and have a shower first!”

“I need to get a change of clothes!”

“I’ll fetch you your clothes!”

Nan Chen pushed Ning Ran into the bathroom and shut the door firmly behind her.

Ning Ran decided that it was high time for her to take a shower. She filled the tub with water and sat in it. Closing her eyes, she breathed a sigh of relaxation as she soaked in the warm water.

At that moment, the door of the bathroom swung open. Nan Chen stepped into the bathroom, carrying her clothes in his hands.

Ning Ran wrapped her arms around her chest quickly. “What are you doing here? How did you manage to come in?”

“I’m just here to hand you your clothes. Are you really going to walk out of here naked later?”

Ning Ran yelled, “It doesn’t mean that you can just come in here as you please!”

“You didn’t even lock the door! I might as well just come in! What? Did you want me to pretend to bring out the keys and unlock the door by myself?”

Ning Ran was completely speechless. In her haste, she had completely forgotten to lock the bathroom door.

Nan Chen stood there, watching her panic. Even though her hair was slightly messy, it framed her exquisite face and fell upon her collarbone in the most elegant way.

Her skin was smooth and fair above the surface of the water. With her arms wrapped around her, she looked like a frightened baby animal.

Looking at her, he felt a sudden sense of protectiveness and possessiveness.

“Well, aren’t you getting out? What the hell do you think you’re doing?” Ning Ran looked at him fearfully.

“Can I do whatever I want just because I feel like it?”

His eyes were full of fire, and his voice was very low.

“Of course not! You’re supposed to be a gentleman. You should know what you ought not to do!” Ning Ran tried to impose her moral judgment on Nan Chen to get him to leave.

“But I’m not a gentleman.” Nan Chen rejected her statement immediately. He had always had trouble with authority, and he had never wanted to be a gentleman before.

“Yes, you are! So get rid of those filthy thoughts in your head and get out now!” Ning Ran snapped, pointing to the door.
