My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 52

After meeting each other’s eyes, Ning Ran shifted her gaze.

Ning Ran did not like this man either because she thought of him as the dumb guy who used his influence to cover up for Luo Fei.

However, the man standing in front of her was the biggest investor of the movie – the Sound of Thunder 2 – and was, therefore, her employer.

Being under his employment, she must admit defeat.

And so she nodded first to greet him.

Then, he nodded in response.

The two of them only nodded as a sign of respect but weren’t interested in having an actual conversation.

After that, Ning Ran stood aside to let Nan Chen enter the elevator. She did that as a sign of courtesy.

Nan Chen wasn’t in a hurry to get in the elevator either because it was also courteous to let the person inside the elevator to exit first.

In the end, both parties stood there, motionless, waiting for the other to make a move first which, in turn, made things awkward.

After realizing each other’s intention, Ning Ran stepped forward to get out of the elevator.

Unfortunately, Nan Chen had the same realization at the same time, and he moved forward too, causing both parties to knock on each other.

The hotel’s elevator doors were wide enough to let them both pass easily, but they somehow managed to knock on one another.

Although his outfit made him look like a thin man, Nan Chen was well-built and muscular so Ning Ran’s tiny body couldn’t withstand this bump, and fell back a couple of steps.

“Damn it!” Ning Ran cussed.

Nan Chen raised his brows. Having seen how naturally this woman cussed, he believed that she truly was vile.

Ning Ran regretted after cussing because she does not normally cuss. She was definitely influenced by that idiot, Zhen Lunlun.

That being said, she had already cussed out loud, and she wasn’t a nice lady anyway.

Besides, it’s not like the man standing in front of her was any better.

Ning Ran kept her head down. She didn’t need to look up to know that the guy must have a scowl on his face.

She walked so fast that she was practically fleeing from the elevator with her head down.

After being bumped by that woman, Nan Chen sniffed the perfume on his suit and confirmed that this was the tangerine perfume.

That perfume was like a curse that had been haunting Nan Chen all these years. For some reason, he could never forget that scent.

There was nothing scary about not forgetting that scent, but he was terrified about not knowing why he couldn’t forget it.

Annoyed, the knock on the door was heavier than intended.

“I knew you’d come back… Uncle?” said Zhen Lunlun.

He wanted to keep talking but after seeing Nan Chen icy glare, he swallowed his words.

“Who’s coming back?”

“No… No one. I was just singing. I’m waiting for you to come back, to come back…”

Zhen Lunlun pretended to sing, but even he thought that was an awkward performance.

He stopped singing abruptly because Nan Chen’s glare was horrifying.

Nan Chen didn’t barge into the room because he was the uncle, and things would get ugly if there actually was a woman inside.

He asked Zhen Lunlun with his eyes. May I come in?

Zhen Lunlun moved to the side with the door open. “Please come in, uncle.”

Nan Chen felt a little dizzy. He could’ve sworn he smelled that tangerine perfume again.

Don’t think too much. It’s just in your head. Nan Chen reminded himself.

Nan Chen sat on the sofa and inspected everything in the room.

Nothing seemed off, but the presidential suite was big enough to hide someone, and Nan Chen didn’t feel right to inspect every inch of the room.

Zhen Lunlun stood at the side. He didn’t understand why his uncle came to visit in the middle of the night.

No one spoke, and the room became eerily quiet.

Zhen Lunlun couldn’t stand the silence so he asked, “Uncle, what are you doing here?”

“Nothing,” Nan Chen answered.
