My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 557

Chapter 557 Page Boy And Flower Girl

Don’t you know I attended this ceremony for Ning Ran’s sake? Or perhaps, you’re asking me purposively to put me in a tight spot? Utterly speechless, Nan Chen decided to turn a deaf ear to him.

Ning Ran felt Zheng Lunlun had asked inappropriate questions and glowered at him.

“Why are you glaring at me? I’m asking out of my curiosity. It’s all right if you don’t feel like answering me.” Zheng Lunlun felt dejected, like a deflated balloon.

A pin-drop silence ensued.

Minutes later, he turned and suggested eagerly, “Since we’re free now, let’s have a session!”

No doubt, he was referring to having a session of the game. In his eyes, Ning Ran was an expert player. However, she did not seem to be into it ever since she was back from overseas.

“No!” She turned him down at once, knowing Nan Chen would not like that.

“Come on! Let’s play to pass the time since we’ve nothing to do now,” Zheng Lunlun pestered her.

“You seem to be really free now, huh?” Nan Chen piped up.

“Hmm… Undeniably, we’re quite free in the car now,” Zheng Lunlun admitted hesitantly.

“Qiao Zhan, stop the car here. Let him be the driver then,” Nan Chen instructed abruptly.

“Huh?” Qiao Zhan was flabbergasted.

“Let him drive,” Nan Chen repeated.

“Wait a minute! I don’t have good driving skills. Forget about it, okay?” Zheng Lunlun tried to talk his uncle into changing his mind.

“Aren’t you very free now?”

“Fine then. I’m not free now, okay?” Zheng Lunlun emphasized.

“Let him drive then. You may leave now.” Nan Chen insisted.

Qiao Zhan was on cloud nine. He stopped the car by the roadside immediately and hailed a taxi.

“D*mn it! How could he leave right away?” Zheng Lunlun fumed.

“Go ahead to drive now!” Nan Chen instructed.

“I-I…” Zheng Lunlun stammered.

“So you’re reluctant, and I should be the one driving?” Nan Chen sneered.

“Fine! I’ll drive, okay? I only have myself to blame!” Zheng Lunlun lamented piteously with a grimace. He had no choice but to pull open the door of the driver’s seat and hop into it. Hmph! If I knew earlier that I would be a driver today, I surely wouldn’t tag along with them!

Perplexed, Ning Ran could not fathom why Nan Chen seemed to be in a bad mood. He looks annoyed. Did anyone get on his nerves?

After pondering for a while, she doubted inwardly. I didn’t do anything wrong, did I?

At that moment, Nan Chen’s phone vibrated again. It turned out to be Erbao who called him once again. “Daddy, you’re not back yet?”

“I’m on the way back!”

“How about Mommy? Is she with you now? I don’t seem to see her on TV now. Dabao said she might have left. Is she on the way home?”

“Yeah, she’s on the way back with me,” Nan Chen reassured her.

Ning Ran stretched out her hand to get his phone when she seemed to overhear Erbao’s voice on the other end of the line. Nonetheless, he moved aside and refused to pass it to her.

Did I step on his toes unintentionally? Why does he seem to be displeased to see me?

Initially, Ning Ran was only making a wild guess. When Nan Chen refused to let her have his phone, she was sure she had gotten on his nerves unknowingly. But I can’t recall anything! I didn’t do anything wrong, did I? How did I end up irking him? Pfft! His temper is really unpredictable!

Sensing that he was displeased, Ning Ran did not dare to infuriate him further. They remained silent along the way till they reached home.

When Erbao heard the car pull to a halt, she dashed out excitedly to welcome them. “Mommy!”

“Ah! Darling, you’re not asleep?” Ning Ran was astounded.

“We’re waiting for you to be home! Mommy, you’re as beautiful as an angel!” Erbao gasped admiringly. In her eyes, angels were the most charming among all.

“Erbao, did you miss me?” Zheng Lunlun approached her and greeted her eagerly.

“Blondie, why are you here?”

“I’m here to visit you!” He winked at her.

“Oh! Really? Did you bring me any snacks?” Erbao cut to the chase.

Her question caught him off guard at once. Needless to say, he did not bring anything along with him as he came straight from the ceremony.

“You didn’t? Hmph! Then how could you say that you’re here to visit me?” Erbao pouted her lips.

“I did! It’s inconvenient for me to bring along the gifts while attending the ceremony. I’ll bring them for you tomorrow, okay?” Zheng Lunlun could only lie to her so that he would not rain on her parade.

Erbao’s face brightened a bit in an instant. “All right. I’ll go and get from you tomorrow then. Our school holiday has started, and I’m bored stiff. Coincidentally, I can go out tomorrow to pass the time!”

Erbao’s adorableness was irresistible for Zheng Lunlun. Hence, he carried her up gleefully.

On the other hand, Dabao was nonchalant as ever and sounded mature like an adult. “Mommy, congratulations to you on winning the award. You’re one step closer to Best Actress now.”

“Thanks, Darling. I’d better go and get changed first. It’s exhausting wearing this!” Ning Ran stated casually.
