My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 882

Chapter 882 Shirking Responsibilities

Without turning around, Ning Ran motioned for Nan Chen to come over. “Bring the soup to the dining hall. It's time for dinner.”

It was rare for someone to order Nan Chen around, so he froze for a second before walking over to take the soup bowl.

Ning Ran then walked to the living room, asking Dabao and Erbao to wash their hands and get ready for dinner.

However, Erbao remained seated as she asked again, “Mommy, you'll let me and Dabao go to the competition, won't you?”

“We'll talk about that later,” Ning Ran told her, unsure what decision to make since she did not know what was on Nan Chen's mind.

“Mommy, you promised me this! You can't go back on your words,” Erbao responded, huffing.

It was not that Erbao loved joining competitions but that she liked the liveliness of the environment.

There were many kindergartens in the city, and even if each kindergarten only sent out one team, the competition site would still be filled with children. It would be a bustling scene, and that was something Erbao looked forward to seeing.

“Are you trying to say that you won't eat if I say no?”

As Erbao's mother, Ning Ran naturally knew what was on her daughter's mind.

Erbao huffed and pouted.

“Wash your hands and eat, or else this is a definite no,” said Ning Ran, putting on a serious face.

“Fine! You're breaking your promise, Mommy.”

Erbao then jumped off the couch and ran barefooted to the room, angry.

As soon as she stomped inside, she slammed the door shut behind her.

“Hey, what's with that attitude? Do you think I'd let you get away with this? How dare you talk back to me?” Ning Ran angrily said before marching over to smack the door.

Right then, Nan Chen walked over and asked, “What are you doing?”

“She's forcing me to relent by starving herself. Am I supposed to give in to that?” Ning Ran gritted out.

“So you're actually going to fight against a child?”

“I want her to come out and eat; I'm not saying that I'm going to fight against her. She'll go hungry if she doesn't eat, and I don't want her to starve herself. Do I really need to spell this out for you?”

“Go to the dining room first. She's a kid, after all. We'll need to coax her and reason with her,” Nan Chen said to her.

A glance at Nan Chen told Ning Ran that he seemed confident, so she left it in his hands.

After taking a few steps to the dining room, Ning Ran started wondering how Nan Chen was going to convince Erbao to come out of the room, so she turned around to observe him, hoping to learn a trick or two.

In the next second, she heard Nan Chen knocking on the door and saying, “Erbao, Mommy's been working too hard lately, so she's a little muddle-headed. You have to be more considerate of her...”

Anger thrummed through Ning Ran's veins when she heard that.

What the h*ll? Are you seriously doing this? Me? Muddled in the head? You're the one who has a shrunk brain!

Then, she heard Nan Chen continue, “I'll try my best to convince Mommy about the competition, okay? Erbao, you're a reasonable girl, so you won't hold a grudge against Mommy for this, right? Come on, open the door. We'll have our dinner, and we'll persuade Mommy to let you go to the competition together after that, all right?”

Ning Ran was rendered speechless. Nan Chen was twisting the facts, for he was the one who disagreed with letting the children join the competition. That was why Erbao was angry.
