My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 69

“There’s no point in covering your lips now. I heard it!” “So poker face bought us dinner that night, huh? What else are you three hiding from me?” demanded Ning Ran.

Erbao widened her big, beautiful eyes to stare at Ning Ran innocently before turning to Dabao.

That was Erbao’s secret weapon – to act like a poor, helpless baby girl – to soften both Ning Ran’s and Dabao’s heart.

Dabao had never lied so he looked away guiltily.

“Tell me!” shouted Ning Ran. She was so fierce that both Dabao and Erbao shivered.

“You’re frightening the kids,” said Cheng Xiangyun to pacify Ning Ran.

“Oh right, you’re the main culprit, weren’t you? Explain yourself, Cheng Xiangyun! I won’t let this go so easily!” shouted Ning Ran as she stood up to glare at Cheng Xiangyun.

“Calm down, Ning Ran, take a seat. You’re frightening the kids, and frankly, frightening me too!”

“Cut the crap! How the hell did this happen? I treated you as a friend, Cheng Xiangyun! I trusted you with my kids, and you used them for your personal gain!”

Cheng Xiangyun couldn’t stand it anymore and sprang up, screaming, “F*** you! Are you crazy, Ning Ran? How could you say that? I didn’t get anything out of this. Hell, I wasn’t even there when they went out for dinner! Is this the thanks I get for helping you babysit?”

“I told you that I don’t want my kids having any contact with that poker face! Why didn’t you stop them? And how could you leave my kids with strangers? What if something were to happen to them?”

“Is Nan Chen really a stranger? Are you blind? Can’t you see that he looked just like the kids? You may not like Nan Chen, but you don’t have the right to keep them apart! Don’t you think that’s selfish?”

“Looking alike doesn’t mean they’re related! As far as I am concerned, they ARE strangers! And you don’t know him well either! How could you let him take my kids out?”

“You know how powerful Nan Chen is in Flower City, would he kidnap your kids? And didn’t he send them home safely after dinner? It’s all in the past, why the f*** are you angry with me now?”

Erbao and Dabao were stressed out from watching the two adults argue.

“Mommy, stop fighting. It wasn’t Aunty Xiang’s fault. We were the ones who asked Uncle Nan Chen out,” explained Erbao.

Dabao nodded.

“Do you not have any food at home? Do I not feed you? Why do you embarrass yourselves like that by getting someone else to buy you dinner?” growled Ning Ran.

“Ning Ran, have you gone nuts? What do you mean by ’embarrass yourselves’? The kids like Nan Chen so they want to spend time with him. It’s not as complicated as you make it out to be,” shouted Cheng Xiangyun. “Besides, how is it embarrassing when a busy man like Nan Chen was willing to spend time with the kids? Did you work so much that you’ve gone nuts? Is that why you’re yelling at everyone for no reason?” said Cheng Xiangyun.

“Mommy, we were wrong,” said Dabao, “I’m sorry.”

Ning Ran was stunned because Dabao rarely spoke.

“It’s my fault. I’m the big brother so I should be responsible,” Dabao continued saying, “Please don’t be mad at my baby sister.”

Ning Ran’s fury was instantly gone, and she realized that she was out of line a moment ago because she was too angry.

“Fine, mommy won’t be mad about the past, but you’re not allowed to hang out with strangers anymore!”

Dabao and Erbao nodded simultaneously.

After breakfast, Cheng Xiangyun and Ning Ran dropped the kids at school together. Cheng Xiangyun ignored Ning Ran the whole way.

After the teachers came to take the kids to class, Cheng Xiangyun’s face darkened and she said, “get out!”

“Excuse me?” said Ning Ran who was confused.
