Celebrity Girl Is My Wife

“What exactly were you two talking about? Why aren't you telling me?” Nan Chen grew more suspicious.

It was not that Ning Ran wanted to hide it from him. She was just hesitant about whether she should tell him about

it.

After all, Nan Xing pretending to be Nan Chen was not a small issue. If she informed him about it, she would be in

deep trouble once Nan Xing blamed her for tale-telling.

Moreover, Nan Chen did not have the habit of listening to gossip. Hence, if he found out about it in the end, then it

would not be her fault.

Ning Ran did not find the need to tell him about it if he did not know about the matter.

Anyway, Nan Xing has done a good job here. Ouyang Qing's reputation is totally ruined.

Ning Ran had to protect Nan Xing.

Hence, no matter how much Nan Chen questioned her, Ning Ran would not tell him.

At the same time, the two children thought their parents were arguing with each other, and they rushed over to

take a look.

When the adults noticed the children, they ushered everyone back to the dining table to continue with their meal.

After the meal, as Ning Ran was cleaning the table, Nan Chen's phone buzzed. It was from Bai Hua.

Nan Chen picked up the call. “Hello?”

“Nan Chen, how could you play tricks on someone like that?” Bai Hua questioned, evidently sounding pissed. “Even

if you don't like Ouyang Qing, you shouldn't do such a thing. You're offending the Ouyang family, did you know that?

Are you trying to start a battle between our families?”

Hearing that, Nan Chen was confused. “What are you talking about?”

“How dare you still put on an act? I clearly instructed you to go there, but why did you have to make Nan Xing

impersonate you? Don't you know that rascal is capable of doing anything?” Bai Hua fumed.

“I really don't understand what you're saying. What's this? What did Nan Xing do this time?”

“You should take a look at the video on the internet and ask Nan Xing yourself. You boys have created such a mess

for me. What good will it do to you for angering the Ouyang family? Why did you have to do that?”

Upon hearing that, Nan Chen glanced at Ning Ran instinctively. That woman was acting all secretive just now. Does

she know anything about this?

“Mom, I really know nothing about it. Let me look it up and get back to you, okay?” he said.

“You better think of a way to explain this to the Ouyang family!” With that, Bai Hua ended the call.

“Do you know something about it?” Nan Chen stared at Ning Ran.

“I'm not really sure either. I just know about the general situation,” Ning Ran replied with a smile.

“What exactly is the matter that's making you so happy?” Nan Chen asked coldly.

Ning Ran recollected herself and put on an expression as if it had nothing to do with her. “It's nothing. I'm not

happy. And this matter has nothing to do with me.”

“What the hell is going on?” Nan Chen bellowed.

Seeing the man in a rage, Ning Ran turned to the children. “Go to your rooms. I have something to tell your daddy.”

The two children exchanged glances and went into their rooms obediently.

“Tell me. What's the matter?”

“The whole truth is in the video. You should see it for yourself,” uttered Ning Ran, pulling out her phone and playing

the video.

Nan Chen frowned as he watched it. “What's this? Why is Nan Xing pretending to be me?”

Ning Ran tutted and rolled her eyes in displeasure. “What a waste, right? Are you regretting it now?”

“What do you mean?”

“You're regretting not being there yourself. You can't help but wish you were the person Ouyang Qing was lying on

top of, right? Isn't that the reason why you hate the idea of Nan Xing pretending to be you?”

“What are you talking about? Do you think that's what I mean?”

“Then what else do you mean? What a waste, right? If you went there, everything would've been set in stone and

you'd have had so much fun,” Ning Ran sneered.

“Shut up!” Nan Chen roared coldly.

“You're the one who asked me about it, and now you're telling me to shut up. Am I supposed to talk or not?”

“Just say what's necessary and leave out the others!”

“How am I supposed to know what I should or shouldn't say?”

“Fine. You can stop talking now,” Nan Chen stated.

“Okay, I'll shut up then. By the way, aren't you going to give Ms. Ouyang a call? You should be consoling her broken

heart now. She originally offered her body to you, yet she was played by Nan Xing. Perhaps you can tell her there

are still many chances in the future. Tell her to get the drug ready. All you have to do next time is just drink it—”

“Enough!” Nan Chen was fuming.

“Oh? You're mad? Okay, I'll stop talking. You must be heartbroken now. I'd better stop since I can't afford to offend

you.” With that, Ning Ran continued clearing the table and headed toward the kitchen.

“Stop right there!” Nan Chen bellowed.

Stopping in her tracks, Ning Ran uttered, “What now? Are you not done scolding me?”

“Say, how do you think Nan Xing knew Ouyang Qing was at that hotel? And why would he think of pretending to be

me? According to my mother, the one who was invited was me, but the person who had turned up was him. What's

going on?” Nan Chen asked, her eyes fixated on her.

“How would I know?”

“You don't?” Nan Chen looked very doubtful.

“Stop looking at me like that. Of course I don't know about it. I've been cooking with you the whole time, and I didn't

even pick up my phone. I didn't even—” Suddenly, Ning Ran stopped talking.

Nan Chen, too, came to a realization as he picked up his phone and checked his call logs.

“My mother called me twice before this call. They were about ten minutes apart, and both were answered by

someone,” Nan Chen informed, his eyes now trained on the woman.

“It's not me. You'll know once you look at the time of the call. I was with you in the kitchen during that time,” she

clarified quickly.

After thinking for some time, both of them shifted their gaze to the children's room.

The housekeeper, who usually came to the villa in Red Maple City to clean up the place, was not around.

Hence, Erbao and Dabao were the only ones left at home apart from Ning Ran and Nan Chen.

Since both the adults did not pick up the calls, the culprits were obvious.

“Dabao, Erbao, come here!” Ning Ran yelled.

Truth was, the two children had been listening by the door, catching every single word that was spoken in the dining

hall.

Erbao was so shocked that she ran deeper into the room to hide when she heard Ning Ran's yell.

Seeing that, Dabao grabbed her. “What are you running away for?”

“Remember how we answered Daddy's call? I think something happened because of it!” Erbao exclaimed anxiously.

“Do you think you can escape when something happens? Where do you think you can hide?” Dabao asked.

“I'm going to hide under my blankets!”

“Are you sure you can hide there forever? Come on, let's go out together.”

However, Erbao did not obey. She crouched to the ground, remaining unmoved even when Dabao tried to pull her

up.

“Dabao, you must be responsible for your own actions. You're a man, and I'm just an ordinary girl. You must not

drag me into this!” Erbao muttered.

“Sure. Then you should handle your own matters in the future and not drag me into them.”

“Oh, don't be like that. If something happens to me in the future, I'll naturally have to rely on you. Otherwise, who

am I supposed to go to?”

“Don't worry. Daddy won't blame us. I can explain this, so you don't have to worry about it,” Dabao persuaded,

which successfully convinced Erbao to walk out of the room with him.

Nonetheless, she remained hidden behind Dabao, unwilling to show her face.

“Who had answered my phone?” Nan Chen asked sternly.

Even so, no one answered him.

Seeing that, Ning Ran became protective over her children. “Don't be like that! You're scaring the kids. You can't

vent your anger on my children just because of Ouyang Qing's matters.”
