Celebrity Girl Is My Wife

Chapter 840

Upon hearing that, Dabao put on a stern expression and fell silent.

His reaction made Ning Ran feel bad.

Maybe I shouldn't let a child make such a decision. It's too much pressure for him.

After giving it some thought, Dabao nodded. “Mommy, Daddy's the one who made you angry, so I'll support you.”

Ning Ran hugged him, feeling terrible on the inside. “Thank you, my boy.”

Although she promised to respect his decision, she would still feel sad if Dabao insisted on returning to Nan Chen's side instead of staying here.

Thankfully, Dabao did not say that, and Ning Ran was grateful for it.

“Mommy, I'll always side with you. If he did something wrong, then he should apologize to you. But if Daddy calls and asks where we are, I have to tell him the truth. I can't lie to him. Besides, you said Daddy loves us as well. He'll definitely be worried if he finds we're gone and can't contact us,” Dabao stated his additional condition.

Ning Ran agreed, “You're right. If he asks, you can tell him. But if he doesn't, then don't call him, okay?”

“All right,” Dabao promised happily.

“Let's begin cooking, then.”

Ning Ran felt much better after receiving Dabao's support.

It was a good thing that someone often helped to clean and maintain the house. Although it had been unoccupied for a long time, the facilities were still functioning well. Hence, they could cook as usual

with no issues.

While Ning Ran was cooking in the kitchen, she thought about her mother.

Back then, Zhang Ru would occasionally find time to cook while Ning Ran would stand by the kitchen door and watch the former. It gave Ning Ran a secure and blissful feeling.

Now that Ning Ran was a mother herself and was preparing food for her children, she could relate to her mother's feelings.

Sadly, Zhang Ru was gone before Ning Ran could repay the former's kindness.

In fact, Ning Ran had never prepared a meal for her mother before.

The thought of that made Ning Ran's eyes well up with tears.

She immediately wiped her tears with a tissue, worried the children might see her crying when they came in.

When she brought the food out, she saw Dabao and Erbao playing in the courtyard. To her surprise, the children appeared to be playing happily without feeling awkward in their new environment.

Ning Ran saw herself in them.

“Mommy, did you really live here when you were young?” Erbao asked as she ran over.

“That's right. Just like you guys, I played here too when I was younger.”

“What about Daddy? Did he play with you?” Erbao stared at Ning Ran with sparkly eyes.

“No. I don't think I knew him back then.”

“Why not? Didn't you two go to the same school? Was he not your schoolmate?” Erbao asked in confusion.

Ning Ran smiled. “Nope. Wash your hands. It's time to eat.”

Soon, the children finished washing their hands and sat by the table that had quite the history.

It was an old, sturdy wooden table. Though it was not as fancy as modern furniture, its quality was great.

It was just that some parts of its paint had come off after so many years.

The house was indeed a place full of memories for Ning Ran.

“You two must be hungry. Go on. Dig in.” Ning Ran gestured for the children to begin eating.

Dabao and Erbao exchanged glances as if they were communicating using their gazes.

At that moment, there was the sound of an engine outside, and Ning Ran had a hunch about who it was.

As soon as she stepped out, she saw Nan Chen's car, as expected.

A tall figure got out of the car with a bag of things.

The old residence had a traditional metal door that was locked from the inside.

Thus, Nan Chen stood there and knocked on it gently.

However, Ning Ran did not open it. “Why are you here?”

“Erbao said she wanted some desserts from South Street, so I bought her some,” Nan Chen answered calmly.

I knew it. Erbao's the little traitor who told him where we are.

“It's not good for the children to have dessert at night. You can have it instead.” With that, Ning Ran turned around and left.

Nan Chen sighed from outside the gate, but Ning Ran feigned ignorance.

Upon returning to the table, Ning Ran glanced at Erbao. “You told him?”

Erbao lowered her head guiltily. “Daddy asked where I was, so I told him. You didn't say we weren't allowed to tell him.”

“It's fine. Let's continue eating.” Ning Ran did not blame the child.

Judging from Dabao's gaze, he clearly knew Nan Chen was coming.

That was why Dabao and Erbao hesitated when Ning Ran said it was time to eat. Obviously, they were waiting for Nan Chen to join them.

Just then, the sound of footsteps could be heard. Shocked, Ning Ran looked up to find Nan Chen had entered the house.

“You climbed in? This is trespassing!” Ning Ran panicked.

“I didn't need to climb in. I have the keys.” Nan Chen swung the keys nonchalantly.

It was then that Ning Ran finally remembered Nan Chen had bought the house for her. In fact, he even had the keys duplicated before it was renovated. Hence, there was no stopping him from entering.

“Daddy!” Erbao cheered but quickly sealed her mouth when she saw the scowl on Ning Ran's face.

“This is the dessert I bought for you. Enjoy,” said Nan Chen while taking out some desserts. He then revealed a bottle of wine, saying, “You've finished recording for your show, right? I heard your performance was great, and you even got the celebrities' support. Let's open a bottle of wine to celebrate.”

“There's no need for that. What's there to celebrate? There, you've delivered your dessert. You can go now,” Ning Ran replied curtly.

Still, Nan Chen did not leave. Instead, he took a seat and commented, “These dishes look great! They look appetizing.”

“There's none for you. Leave now!” Ning Ran urged.

“There's so much. Are you guys able to finish it?” Nan Chen gazed at Dabao and Erbao.

Catching the signal, the children shook their heads in unison. “It's too much. We can't finish it.”

Immediately, Ning Ran threw them a glare, and the duo quickly shut their mouths.

“I can feed the dog if we can't finish it. There's none for you!” Ning Ran spat.

“You don't have a dog.” Nan Chen stated the facts.

“I can get one!”

“Until then, I can have dinner here today.” Nan Chen got to his feet and went into the kitchen to grab himself some utensils and a wine glass.

He was determined to stay for a meal. The more Ning Ran stopped him, the more he insisted on eating.

Meanwhile, it was inappropriate for Ning Ran to continue stopping him. After all, it would leave a bad impression and even frighten the children if she behaved too meanly.

“Can you two eat less and give me some of your shares?” Nan Chen asked his beloved children. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Hearing that, Dabao and Erbao nodded fervently without saying a word.

Nan Chen cast Ning Ran a gleeful glance. “Don't worry. My children will share their portion with me. I won't eat yours.”

All Ning Ran did was snort. Deep down, she could not help but criticize him for being the most shameless person she had ever met. Even so, she had no choice but to give in.

Nan Chen placed a piece of braised meat into his mouth and nodded. “Not bad. Your cooking skills have improved. This is good!”

No one's asking for your compliment.
