My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 838

Chapter 838 Sensible Dabao

The angle of the photo was not clear as only Nan Chen's side profile had been taken.

However, Nan Chen was a handsome man. People could recognize him even if they only saw his side profile.

It was the same for the woman. Only her side profile had been captured, but she, too, was captivating.

The netizens were all internet sleuths, and they soon figured out who the woman was.

She was MG Company's co-owner and executive director, as well as the CEO of Aploth-Pandera's branch.

She had another identity based on recent gossip—the rumored girlfriend of Yartran's prince.

Ning Ran was dumbfounded by Luo Zhiyi's details.

Luo Fei, Ouyang Qing, and the others all paled in comparison to Luo Fei.

It's already impressive enough that you're dating a prince, so why did you have to try to get my children's father? You're a CEO, but you're competing against me, an actress? Aren't you shameless?

Not long after the photo appeared on the internet, someone came forward to say that the man who was with Luo Zhiyi was Nan Xing, not Nan Chen.

Others might not be able to differentiate between Nan Xing and Nan Chen, but Ning Ran could.

Putting aside all else, the white suit and the black suit were the biggest difference between the brothers.

Furthermore, they had different ways of carrying themselves. Ning Ran used to have a hard time differentiating the two, but after a long time of being with Nan Chen, she could spot him a mile away simply by looking at his back.

Well, well, well, Nan Chen. You're flirting with another woman and getting your little brother to take the bullet for you? You shameless man!

Ning Ran did not tell Qiao Zhan anything after she wrapped up her filming. Instead, she discreetly took the train back to Flower City.

Then, she quietly took a cab to Raining Pavilion, only to find no one at home.

Although Ning Ran knew that Nan Chen would not bring that woman back home, she still looked around the house to make sure that no outsiders had been brought home. It was only then she felt a sense of relief.

MG Company was the company that provided audit services to Nanshi Corporation. It would not be unreasonable for Nan Chen to be in contact with Luo Zhiyi.

If they do interact with each other, then so be it. Why does he have to pretend that it's Nan Xing who's interacting with her? What does that mean? That means he's feeling guilty!

The more Ning Ran thought about it, the more insecure she felt.

When classes were over, Ning Ran drove to school. She saw Qiao Zhan, who was about to pick up the children, there.

“Mrs. Nan, why did you come?” Qiao Zhan was surprised, for Ning Ran never told him that she was coming back.

“I came back because I'm done with my job. I was free, so I came to pick the kids up.”

Qiao Zhan was a straightforward man, so he blurted out, “But Sir Chen didn't tell me you were back.”

“I didn't tell him about it. It's not as if I need to report to him about everything,” Ning Ran said with a smile.

It was then Qiao Zhan realized what was going on. “Did you fight with Sir Chen?”

“I didn't. What's there to fight about? He's busy with his things, and I'm busy with mine. By the way, don't tell him that I'm back,” Ning Ran said to him.

Qiao Zhan appeared conflicted. “That... doesn't sound good.”

“It's nothing. I'll explain it to him myself. You don't need to fret about this.”

“All right,” Qiao Zhan muttered.

When the school bell rang, Ning Ran hunched over in her car to prevent the other parents of the students from seeing her.

She was a public figure nowadays, and she was often trending on the internet. It would not be good if others were to recognize her.

Only when most of the children were gone did Erbao slowly walk out of the school, holding Dabao's hand as usual.

Upon seeing the two children, most of Ning Ran's upset feelings faded away.

I have Dabao and Erbao with me. Who cares about Nan Chen?

Ning Ran then came down from the car and walked toward them.

The second Erbao saw Ning Ran, she leaped in joy and dragged out, “Mommy!”

“Aren't you happy to see me?” Ning Ran lifted Erbao.

“Of course! Is this an ambush? Are you going to give us more surprises? A big surprise!” Erbao happily wrapped her arm around Ning Ran's neck.

“Mhm. Are you surprised? Are you shocked?” Ning Ran teased.

“Surprised and shocked!” Erbao exclaimed.

“Mommy, does Daddy not know you're back?” Dabao was truly an observant child, and he soon noticed something amiss.

“How did you know about that?” Ning Ran asked in astonishment.

“I saw Uncle Qiao Zhan's car, so I guess he must be here to pick us up as well. If Daddy knows that you've come to pick us up, he wouldn't have sent Uncle Qiao Zhan here too,” Dabao calmly analyzed.

Initially, Ning Ran did not want her issue with Nan Chen to affect the children's moods, but Dabao was too smart for her to hide anything from him.

“My phone ran out of battery, so I didn't tell your daddy about my return,” Ning Ran lied.

“Then I'll call Daddy right now to tell him you're back,” Erbao offered.

Ning Ran quickly stopped her. “No, it's fine. He'll find out. Let's go and eat first. What do you want to eat? I'll take you there.”

“Are we not going to wait for Daddy?” Erbao wondered out loud in confusion.

“He's been really busy lately, so we're going to go ahead and eat first.”

Finally, Erbao realized something was amiss too. “Are you and Daddy fighting again, Mommy?”

“No,” Ning Ran uttered with a smile as she buckled the seatbelts for the children. “Your daddy's really busy, so let's just leave him be, hm?”

“All right, then. I want to eat what you cook, Mommy. Can we go home and eat?” Erbao suggested.

It was rare to hear Erbao saying that she wanted to eat the food she made, so Ning Ran quickly agreed to it.

She then went to the supermarket with them for a grocery trip, but instead of going back to Raining Pavilion, she brought them back to the Ning residence.

Although it was an old house, it had been refurnished and renovated. Ning Ran was thinking of staying there with the children for a few days.

Both Dabao and Erbao had never been there before, so they were taken by the place. They asked Ning Ran whose house it was.

“This is where I grew up. I used to play here and stay here with your granny,” Ning Ran explained, chuckling.

“Wow! So this is Mommy's house. I like it here!” Erbao had always been one to swiftly adapt to new environments.

However, Dabao had a worried look on his face as he asked, “Mommy, are we running away from home?”

“No. Why would you think that?”

“If not, why aren't we going back to Raining Pavilion or telling Daddy that we're here?”

Dabao was too smart of a child, and Ning Ran could not hide anything from him at all.

Ning Ran then pulled Dabao aside and showed him the photo she saw online.

“I didn't want to let you know about this, but I think you can understand what's going on. That's why I don't want to hide anything from you, and I know I can't do so either. Your daddy and I did have some disagreements, so I wanted to spend some time alone to calm down. If you're not used to this, I can send you home. If you want to stay with me, then stay here with me for a few days. No matter what you choose, I'll respect your decision and won't get mad. That's because there's one thing that won't change—your daddy and I love you and your sister very much. You don't need to doubt that. Things between adults are complicated, and sometimes, there isn't a wrong or a right. Do you understand what I mean?”

With that said, Ning Ran looked at the boy guiltily.

There was another reason for her to say that. If a falling out truly happened between her and Nan Chen, and the children had to make a choice, she wanted to know what choice the children would make.
