My Wife Is a Superstar

Chapter 899 I Hate Everyone

At around ten o'clock at night, the guests gradually made their leave.

Feng Wan was no longer young and couldn't stay up late like the younger generation to party until midnight. She had to go to bed early, which made the guests too shy to stay back and continue partying into the late hours of the night.

Nonetheless, she maintained a cheerful demeanor and continued conversing with her brother. Due to her upbeat mood, everyone gathered around to keep her company.

Ning Ran was exhausted after standing the whole day to welcome the guests. She sat down in a corner and began scrolling on her phone.

Right then, Nan Shikun went over and offered her a piece of cake.

Ning Ran didn't feel like eating desserts late at night. Despite that, she smiled and accepted the cake, placing the plate aside.

Nan Shikun sat across from Ning Ran, keeping a reasonable distance from her.

Clad in a black suit, he appeared remarkably handsome and bore a striking resemblance to Nan Chen.

The Nan family possessed good genes. So far, Ning Ran had never encountered anyone unattractive from their family.

“Ran, are you an actress?” Nan Shikun changed the topic.

“Yes, Uncle Shikun,” came Ning Ran's answer.

“Have you starred in any movie before?”

“Yes, but my movie hasn't been released yet.”

"Sure, if you ever get the chance, you should visit Hollywood,” Nan Shikun suggested. “It's renowned for its world-class production studios and the well-developed film industry.”

Does Uncle Shikun think I'm a country bumpkin? I have traveled overseas before. Even if I hadn't, I would have heard of Hollywood. While it's true that Hollywood has an advanced and comprehensive film production industry, not everyone gets the chance to develop their career there. Nevertheless, she replied politely, “Okay.”

Nan Shikun continued, “I adore Dabao and Erbao, so I've prepared a present for them.”

Ning Ran's curiosity grew. Why not give the children the present you've prepared in person to make them happy?

“My present is too big to bring here, so the children will have to go and collect it themselves. When you're free, you can take them there to see it,” he explained.

“The present is in a foreign country?” Ning Ran was surprised. Did he just ask me to bring the kids overseas to collect the present?

If he weren't an elder, Ning Ran would've asked if he had lost his mind

"Yes, the present is located in a foreign country, and it's quite large, so I couldn't bring it back with me. The present I've prepared is a fully furnished house for the children in that country. During their holidays, you can bring them there to stay for an extended period and gain some valuable experience. It could be like a vacation for all of you.”

Ning Ran could barely hide her surprise. Uncle Shikun is such a generous man. I can't believe he's giving us a house! Buying a property in a foreign country should be pretty costly.

“The house is located near Hollywood, so during the holidays, you should definitely take the children there. Who knows, you might get lucky and find some opportunities.”

Ning Ran's lips curled into a smile. “You're too generous, Uncle Shikun. The kids are still young, so you don't have to go to such lengths for them. I'm sure many people in the film industry would love to visit Hollywood. If I have the chance, I would love to go there myself.”

Ning Ran had actually visited Hollywood before. Back when she first left the country, she traveled to a few places with her savings on a budget, one of them being Hollywood.

“I've already prepared it, so please accept my present for the kids,” Nan Shikun insisted.

It was too expensive a gift, so Ning Ran couldn't keep rejecting him. She decided to discuss the matter with Nan Chen.

Uncle Shikun means well. If Nan Chen wants to accept it, but I rejected it on the kids' behalf, that would be embarrassing. By the way, why didn't he tell Nan Chen about the present? Why did he come to me instead?

“Uncle Shikun, let's talk about this another day. Thanks for your generosity. The children have school tomorrow, so I'll have to bring them back home now.”

Nan Shikun rose to his feet. “Okay, I'll arrange for someone to clean up the place so that you can have a comfortable stay during the holidays,”

Perhaps he assumed that most people wouldn't reject getting a house as a present.

Ning Ran was about to leave when Nan Shiren showed up. Despite feeling awkward, she had to stay back and socialize with him.

Nan Chen was worn out from his duties of welcoming and socializing with the guests, leaving him with no time to rest.

To him, socializing was more difficult than working because he wasn't fond of socializing, to begin with.

However, given his current status, socializing was an inevitable part of his job that he couldn't avoid. With most of the guests gone, Nan Chen was looking forward to taking a break and enjoying a cup of coffee. However, before he could do so, a stunning woman came over to him. It was Luo Zhiyi, who was still lingering around the party.

“It seems like you still have the habit of drinking coffee at night after all these years. You haven't changed,” she commented.

Nan Chen responded, “That's right, it's a habit I can't shake off, and I don't really want to.”

“You're strange. You're the only person I know who can drink coffee at night and still sleep well.” Nan Chen nodded in agreement. “I've never met anyone like me, too.”

“Does your wife, who is an actress, brew coffee for you?” Luo Zhiyi eventually brought up this topic. Nan Chen didn't really want to talk about Ning Ran because he disliked talking about her with others.

No matter what, he didn't think that Ning Ran should be a topic of their conversation, no matter in a positive or negative light.

He believed that Ning Ran should not be a topic of conversation. Additionally, Nan Chen disliked it when people talked about him behind his back.

He didn't feel like talking and merely gave a curt nod.

“She knows how to brew coffee?” However, Luo Zhiyi seemed interested in this topic.

“Yes,” came Nan Chen's reply.

“Does she make good coffee?”

"Yes."

Luo Zhiyi said nothing but chuckled aloud.

Her chuckle sounded strange, not quite mocking, but with obvious disapproval.

“I've heard that you were forced to be with her because she got pregnant with your kids. You must regret not being more cautious. I've always thought of you as a sensible person, so I'm quite surprised you made such a mistake,” Luo Zhiyi continued talking about Ning Ran, finding the topic too interesting to stop.

“I don't regret anything, and I don't think that was a mistake. It might be an accident, but it was a beautiful accident,” Nan Chen said firmly.

He didn't like to talk, but Luo Zhiyi forced him to speak much more than usual, as he knew he had to explain himself.

It wasn't Ning Ran who forced him to be with her. In fact, Ning Ran had never forced him to do anything against his wishes.

Although she occasionally behaved inappropriately, she had never resorted to using the children as a means of coercion toward him.

On the contrary, Nan Chen had used the custody of their kids as a means of threatening Ning Ran countless times because he knew it was her weak point.

"A beautiful accident?” Luo Zhiyi chuckled.

“Daddy, what are you doing here?” Erbao showed up and tried to climb up Nan Chen's legs.

Nan Chen picked her up. “This is Ms. Luo.”

"Hello, Ms. Luo,” Erbao greeted obediently.

“Ah, you're a good kid. Look how pretty you are!” Luo Zhiyi praised

She reached out to pat Erbao’s cheek, but the little girl giggled and dodged out of her reach.

I don't like this lady who talked to Daddy alone. Dabao told me that Mommy got mad as someone took a photo of this lady and Daddy at the hotel. I hate everyone who makes Mommy upset!
