My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 891

Chapter 891 I Do Not Deserve This

Ning Ran was still in bed the following day when she heard someone singing in the living room.

It seemed like Dabao and Erbao were practicing unusually early that morning with the intention of waking their mother up.

When Ning Ran looked beside her, Nan Chen was looking at his phone on the bed.

Now, this is rare. He usually gets up pretty early. He should be back after his morning exercise by now.

She rolled over and sat on top of him. “Why are you still in bed, Mr. Chen?”

“Why are you still in bed?” Nan Chen asked in return.

“I usually wake up later than you do. You're the early bird,” Ning Ran replied.

“What do you think about these prayer beads?” he asked, passing his phone to her.

Since Ning Ran was no expert on prayer beads, she could not tell what materials were used just from pictures of the item. All she could gather was it looked dated.

“Are you helping me look for a present for Grandma?” she asked.

“Yes. I thought I should go for something simple since Grandma doesn't lack anything, but her family is coming, so it must be more thoughtful. It has to be a gift that shows Grandma's family how much we appreciate her, so I asked Jiang Zhe to look for something from an old collector. This string of beads is what he got in the end. Grandma is religious. I think she will like this.”

Ning Ran nodded at Nan Chen's suggestion. “These beads don't look unique to me, though. Are you sure it's a good choice?”

“Do you think there's nothing special about it?” Nan Chen asked back.

“Well, not that my naked eyes can tell,” Ning Ran replied, smiling.

“It was made of agarwood and presented to the empress of the Tang dynasty as a tribute by the nation of Pandera. The empress loved it and had always kept it with her. However, hundreds of years later, the item was lost overseas, but an old collector saw it and his hands on it.”

His explanation left Ning Ran's jaw dropped. “Wow. It's invaluable, then.”

“The collector bought it for thirty million when he was abroad. The market price has increased by a bit over the years, but he sold it to me at the original price since he knew I was the buyer, so I'm giving him a painting from the Ming dynasty on top of the price,” Nan Chen informed.

“You're spending a lot for the beads, then. They look too ordinary for that price point, though. Those who are not into beads might think it's just something cheap you got online,” Ning Ran remarked, still unable to see the uniqueness of the beads, albeit looking at them repeatedly from the phone.

“You might not know anything about prayer beads, but many people do. This is the perfect gift for someone religious like Grandma.”

“So, is this my gift to her or our gift?” Ning Ran asked.

“This is our gift, but you'll be the one handing it to her.”

Suddenly, a knock came on the door just as the two were deep in their discussion.

Erbao and Dabao were getting impatient when they saw that their singing had not woken up their parents.

“Mommy! Why are you still not awake? Yunxue's almost here already!”

Ning Ran jumped at their words. It occurred to her that Lu Jingyuan had asked her to send Lu Yunxue and Lu Yunbing to school together with her children that day.

“Dang it! I totally forgot about this. Get up! We're sending the four of them to school today. The girls are having breakfast here too!”

Nan Chen was flabbergasted. “Why didn't you tell me earlier?”

Speaking, the two jumped out of bed. Just as they were done washing up, they heard a car pulling up at their house and children laughing after Erbao dashed out to greet the girls.
