Celebrity Girl Is My Wife

Furrowing his brows, Nan Chen asked, “How is this scaring them? I'm just asking them a question. It's no reason for

them to be scared.”

Ning Ran looked at Erbao. “Are you sure? Look at Erbao. She doesn't even dare to show her face now.”

Hearing that, Erbao played along. “That's right! I'm so scared that I don't even dare to speak. I'm really scared!”

Nan Chen was rendered speechless. Isn't it enough that you're an actress already? And now you want to turn your

child into a drama queen?

“Come out here and talk properly! If you do, I won't give you a hard time,” Nan Chen uttered.

Only then did Erbao poke out her head fearfully from behind Dabao and glance at Nan Chen.

Then again, anyone who saw the pitiful look on her face would not have the heart to punish her, even if she did

make an unforgivable mistake.

“Okay. I'm going to ask you one more time. Who had answered my phone?”

To their surprise, both Dabao and Erbao raised their hands and answered in unison, “Me!”

Ning Ran was pleased by their response. Such united siblings. They're willing to take responsibility for what they've

done. As expected of my children.

“So both of you are taking responsibility? Okay, then. Both of you shall be punished,” Nan Chen said furiously.

Hearing that, the children lowered their heads, remaining silent.

“Don't frighten them!” Ning Ran interjected, her protective instincts rising in her heart.

“But they're lying. How could both of them have answered the phone? How can children tell lies? Are you

condoning their actions? Do you think this is the right way of educating them?” Nan Chen questioned while glaring

at the woman.

“Okay. Wait here.” Ning Ran got to her feet and walked to the other room before reappearing with a feather duster.

“How dare you two lie! I'm going to beat both of you up!” she yelled, charging toward the children furiously.

However, the children did not run away. Instead, they looked at Nan Chen with pleading looks.

Of course, Nan Chen would not let Ning Ran hit them. Hence, he quickly pulled the children into his embrace and

shouted, “Don't frighten them!”

As soon as those words left his mouth, he froze. Wasn't this Ning Ran's line earlier? How did our roles get switched?

Now I'm the one protecting the children while she's the one scaring them. Did she set me up?

“Daddy, I'm scared!” Erbao cowered in Nan Chen's embrace, hugging his neck tightly.

Her actions caused Nan Chen's heart to melt, and he could not bring himself to scold her anymore.

“It's okay. Don't be scared. I'm here,” Nan Chen comforted.

Ning Ran almost burst out laughing at the scene before her.

With all the commotion, Nan Chen had totally forgotten about finding out the culprit.

Despite that, when Dabao noticed Nan Chen's anger had dissipated, he admitted, “I was the one who had answered

the phone. I pretended to be Erbao when I did that. That's why both of us admitted it. We weren't lying.”

“What happened after that? Tell me the truth. No matter what you did wrong, I promise no one will hit you,” Nan

Chen said.

Ning Ran snorted when she heard his words. So much for principles. He's more outrageous when it comes to

protecting the people he cares about.

“Grandma's the one who told you to go to the hotel. When I heard that, I thought something sounded off,” Dabao

explained.

“If your grandma asks me out for a meal, it should be at home or at a restaurant instead of a hotel.” Nan Chen

nodded to confirm the child's suspicion.

He was impressed by his son's meticulous thinking at such a young age.

“Exactly. That's why I found it suspicious, so I let Uncle Xing go by pretending to be you to find out what's going on.”

Nodding, Nan Chen stated, “I get it now.”

“It's all my fault. I shouldn't have answered your call on my own,” Dabao said.

“It's my fault for not stopping Dabao too,” Erbao added hurriedly.

“There's nothing wrong with answering my phone, but you should have told me after that.”

“Okay. I've learned my lesson. I won't do that again,” Dabao remarked obediently.

“It's all right. Go and play then,” Nan Chen replied affectionately.

When the children returned to their room, Nan Chen remained seated, not uttering a single word.

At the same time, Ning Ran, who stepped out of the kitchen after cleaning the dishes, noticed him sitting there

quietly.

“Is this a serious matter?” Ning Ran felt slightly uneasy.

“I don't know,” Nan Chen answered moodily.

“The children are the ones who had answered your call. Not me. Don't be mad at me.”

“I'm not. I'm just thinking about something.”

“Which is?”

“Ouyang Duo's reaction,” Nan Chen responded straightforwardly.

“How do you think he'll react? Are you worried he'll be mad?”

“He'll definitely be. After all, he's a prideful man. Now that this matter has ruined his reputation, he'll definitely be

mad. I'm just thinking of what actions he will take.”

“Are you worried he'll harm the Nan family?”

“I don't know. That's why I'm thinking about it.”

“Do you have a conclusion already?”

“Not yet.”

On the other side, Ouyang Qing did not expect Ouyang Duo to arrive at Orchid Club so quickly. She did not even

have the time to think of a way to explain the humiliating matter to him.

Smack!

Suddenly, Ouyang Duo gave Ouyang Qing a slap across her face.

The slap left Ouyang Qing stunned. Since young, she had been the Ouyang family's pride. Never in her wildest

dreams did she expect to receive a slap from her father.

“Ouyang Duo, how could you do that?” Feng Jialing immediately stood in front of Ouyang Qing, feeling heartbroken

for her daughter.

When Ouyang Qing finally came back to her senses, she started bawling her eyes out.

“How dare you cry? You've brought so much disgrace to me! He's just a man. Are you so desperate to get close to

him? Now everyone knows my daughter is a shameless person—a person who clings to the Nan family and doesn't

have dignity! I've been involved in the business world for so many decades, yet I've never been this humiliated!”

Ouyang Duo bellowed.

“This is partially your fault, too. Didn't you say you wanted to find a way to get our daughter married into the Nan

family and make her their new lady of the house? That's why she did such things. How could you blame her now? If

you hit her again, I'm going to kill you.” Feng Jialing was fuming as well.

Smack!

Ouyang Duo made a move again, but the slap was now directed at Feng Jialing.

The woman was utterly stunned. Not only did he hit our daughter, but me as well?

“Look at what your daughter has become! How did you carry out your responsibilities as a mother? How could you

let your daughter do such humiliating things?” Ouyang Duo raged.

“How is this my fault? Wasn't this your plan? You were the one who wanted her to marry into the Nan family and

take control over them. It's your greed that made us do all that! You bought over the entire Orchid Club as your

base, hoping you can replace the Nan family as the most powerful family in the city one day. Now that something

bad has happened, you're pushing the blame onto someone else. Worst of all, you even slapped us! Tell you what,

Ouyang Duo. I'm getting a divorce from you, so go ahead and marry whoever you want! Let's go, Qing. From now

on, we're not related to the Ouyang family,” Feng Jialing vocalized, evidently burning with fury.

“If you dare step out of this room, then don't you ever think of coming back to the Ouyang family. Both of you will

lose everything. You'll never be able to survive out there!” Ouyang Duo warned coldly.

“I don't need your money. We can survive on our own!” Feng Jialing roared.

Feng Jialing was extremely confident, but Ouyang Qing remained in her spot.

Although she was slapped across the face, she was well aware that she had to rely on her father to salvage the

situation.

Her reputation had been completely ruined. If she were to cut ties with the Ouyang family, then she would be

nothing.

She was a smart person. She knew she could offend anyone on earth, but not her father.
