My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 893

Chapter 893 You Look Like An Angel

Ning Ran apologized when she went back to the dining table. “Sorry, Uncle Shikun. The kids have a lot of homework they must complete today, so I'm afraid it'll be inconvenient for you to visit them later. Tomorrow is Mrs. Nan's birthday banquet. I'll bring the kids to Commoner Residence to pay respects to the elders. You can meet them then.”

It was clear that Nan Shikun was unhappy. “The kids are in kindergarten. How much homework would they have?”

Nan Xing interrupted and tried to ease the tension. “Don't you know, Uncle Shikun? The curriculum that kids have nowadays is far more than what we used to have. When we were in kindergarten, we'll just play, but things are different now. They can't spend too much time playing as they need to study foreign languages, singing, dancing, piano, music, and more. They're busy because they have a lot to learn. As a result, it's also hard for me to even meet the kids. In fact, we only meet once every fortnight instead.”

Nan Xing was exaggerating. He talked about Dabao as though he were a high school student preparing for his college entrance exam instead of a preschool child.

Nan Shikun's rage significantly subsided when he heard Nan Xing's explanation.

“Fine. We'll meet tomorrow.”

After eating, Ning Ran and Nan Xing sent Nan Shiren and Nan Shikun to the hotel.

Just as Ning Ran was about to leave, Nan Shikun invited her to his room for coffee.

Ning Ran was annoyed. Although he was an elder, it was better to avoid meeting him alone in places like a hotel.

If someone who liked to spread gossip saw them together and made up some rumors, it would bring great shame to the Nan family.

Hence, Ning Ran rejected Nan Shikun's invitation and suggested they have a raincheck on it as she had something else to do.

Nan Shikun was relentless as he suggested going to a nearby coffee shop instead. At that point, Ning Ran had gotten wary of him and immediately rejected his offer before hurrying into the car.

Nan Xing also thought things had taken an awkward turn. “Ning Ran, don't you think Uncle Shikun is kind of weird?”

Ning Ran was livid. “Exactly! He's an elder, but a male. How can he invite me, a female junior family member, to have coffee in his room? Is he out of his mind?”

Nan Xing hesitated momentarily before saying, “It's better if you don't let Chen know about this.”

“Why not? Uncle Shikun is the shameless one, not me...”

“Ning Ran, you're taking it too seriously. He's not shameless. He could have just been inconsiderate.” Nan Xing smiled and tried to persuade her.

Ning Ran got angrier. “What's wrong? Are you irritated because I'm complaining about a member of the Nan family?”

Nan Xing explained, “Of course not. Don't get angry, Ning Ran. That's not what I meant. If you stop to think about it, Uncle Shikun first suggested meeting the kids, but you said they were busy. In other words, you didn't want him in your home. Hence, he settled for the next best thing and invited you to have coffee instead. I'm guessing he has something to say to you, but I'm not sure what it is.”

He continued, “He could've been inconsiderate when he invited you to his room, but from what I've observed, he doesn't seem to have any ill intentions. Even if he did have any, he wouldn't dare to do anything. It wasn't easy for him to return to Flower City. Why would he do such a nasty thing? If he did, wouldn't it be because he was either shameless or had a death wish?”

Ning Ran felt better after hearing Nan Xing's explanation.

“Hmph.” She huffed in response and turned to look out the window, ignoring Nan Xing.

However, she thought Nan Xing's explanation made sense.

If Nan Xing was right and Nan Shikun had something to ask me, what could it be?

When Ning Ran arrived at Raining Pavilion, she noticed that Qiao Zhan had already brought Erbao and Dabao home.

Erbao was excitedly trying on the customized dresses that had just arrived.

Jiang Zhe found a famous children's clothing designer to design the dresses. There was a total of three customized dresses. Erbao tried each of them on, wanting to choose one to wear to Feng Wan's birthday banquet.

However, she liked all three dresses and could not decide on the best one despite trying them twice.

On the other hand, Dabao was sitting in a corner on the couch reading. Erbao's “fashion show” annoyed him, but he did not complain.

Ning Ran was amused. “You couldn't decide?”

Erbao shook her head. “I don't think I'll be able to make a decision no matter how many times I try them on.”

“Come on, Darling. Try them on one more time. I'll help you pick one.” Ning Ran took the initiative to shoulder the responsibility of picking out a dress.
