My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 197

Nan Chen looked at Ning Ran’s expression. It changed from shock, to panic, and finally, fear.

What’s this woman thinking about? What is she planning?

“There is actually no bad blood between us. You are the uncle of my kids. We can be considered relatives.” Ning Ran tried to convince Nan Chen she calmed herself down.

Nan Chen did not respond. He did not know why Ning Ran was saying all that.

“So, you won’t do anything bad to me right?”

“Do anything bad to you?” Nan Chen was even more puzzled.

Then, he pointed to the cup again. “Let’s drink.”

“I’m not going to!” Ning Ran was determined.

You think I’m stupid? You poisoned the wine and want to kill me with that?

Nan Chen lifted his own cup and finished the drink in one gulp.

Ning Ran saw that and thought, if he finished it, maybe it is not poisoned after all.

A sudden realization hit Ning Ran.

He is trying to get me drunk so that I will speak the truth! It has to be that! Poker Face, you are not going to have your way!

“You should drink more.” Ning Ran poured some sake in Nan Chen’s cup.

Nan Chen was momentarily stunned, but he continued to finish the drink.

Ning Ran continued pouring more, and Nan Chen continued to drink.

Not after long, Nan Chen almost finished half a bottle of sake. Ning Ran had transformed into a sommelier. She was responsible for alcohol service, while Nan Chen was responsible for finishing it.

Sake had a rather high alcohol percentage level. Nan Chen started to feel the effects of the alcohol.

His face was flushed because of the alcohol. Together with his fair complexion, it was as though his aura was softened and he no longer felt as distant.

Also, more handsome.

Ning Ran was trying to think. It would not be easy to get him drunk. Besides, he was so intelligent. It wouldn’t be difficult for him to realize what Ning Ran was trying to do.

What should she do?

In fact, Nan Chen was already aware that Ning Ran’s was trying to get him drunk. But it did not matter to him.

He was too troubled over the button today, and felt like drinking.

“You won’t be able to get me drunk. The reason why I don’t usually drink is because I don’t need to entertain.” Nan Chen told Ning Ran directly.

Ning Ran gave an awkward laughter. “What are you saying? Why would I want to get you drunk? Am I after your money or your beauty…”

“What?”

Ning Ran stopped talking after realizing she had said too much.

She really could not hold liquor well. She did not even drink much but already started babbling nonsense.

She had decided not to drink with that Poker Face anymore. They were not even on the same level.

“I mean, I won’t benefit from getting you drunk. I would have to take care of you, and besides, I don’t even have the strength to carry you. It’s late, shall we go?” Ning Ran was ready to leave.

Nan Chen looked at his watch. “Let’s stay a while more. You haven’t answered my question about the button.”

“What’s there to say about the button? It’s just your button. I have to say that it is a very beautiful button though. Is that enough?” Ning Ran tried to avoid the question.

“This is the button you gave me.”

Nan Chen picked up the button and took a closer look at it.

Ning Ran’s heart was beating faster. What on earth had she done? Why did she give this button to Poker Face?

“I don’t think so. Did you remember it wrongly?” Ning Ran pretended not to know anything about it.

“No, I didn’t. You were drunk last night, not me.”

“Oh really? I was drunk?” Ning Ran tried to be cheeky.

“You were, and you were very drunk. We parked in the middle of the expressway for you to throw up. You still have not sobered up when we got back to Flower City. Although you were drunk, you were in high spirits. You kept asking for noodles and more alcohol, until you fell asleep at the table.”

Ning Ran covered her face as she listened. That was so embarrassing.

“That’s not possible. That’s not like me.” Ning Ran tried to look calm.

“I have evidence. I took a video of you last night.” Nan Chen said coldly.

“What?! You took a video when I was drunk? Do you have nothing better to do?!” Ning Ran yelled.

That was actually a lie. Nan Chen had better things to do indeed.

“Then, you took out the button and said…”

Nan Chen hesitated. This was a serious matter. He could already feel the stress before saying it out.

“What did I say?” Ning Ran stared anxiously with her pretty eyes.

“You said that the owner of the button was the biological father of the kids!”

Nan Chen looked at Ning Ran after finishing his sentence.

Ning Ran was stunned.

She could have done anything else while she was drunk. Why did she have to betray herself?!

Drinking could indeed lead to serious trouble!

“What’s your explanation?” Nan Chen continued staring at Ning Ran, as though he was piercing her thoughts.

Ning Ran was flustered. She did not dare to look into Nan Chen’s eyes. She quickly shifted her glance. She lifted the cup and took a gulp of sake, hoping that it would help disguise her nervousness.

As she gulped down too quickly, she choked.

Nan Chen did not shift his glance away from Ning Ran. He continued staring at her.

Ning Ran’s face was all red from choking, and she kept on coughing.

At first, she was really coughing. However, even after the effects of the choking wore off, she continued coughing on purpose.

It was the perfect cover up for her nervousness.

After she stopped coughing, she felt that she managed to calm down a little.

“So, how are you going to explain this?” Nan Chen asked again.

“Haha, you already said it, I was drunk. In that case, it was probably gibberish. How can you believe in gibber?” Ning Ran laughed.

“No, one only speaks the truth when one is drunk. That was not gibberish.” Nan Chen said coldly.

“If you insist, there is nothing I can do about it.” Ning Ran tried to pull a shenanigan.

“So, what is actually the truth?” Nan Chen pressed on.

“What truth?” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Why did you keep that button for so long? It must have meant a lot to you. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have done so.” Nan Chen said.

Ning Ran didn’t reply.

Nan Chen was highly intelligent. It was not easy to lie to him.

However, even Ning Ran herself was not exactly sure what the truth was.

Nan Chen and Nan Xing looked exactly the same. And the Nan family’s DNA test report already proved that Nan Xing was the father of the kids. Could a button displace an authoritative scientific report?

That was not easily determined either.

If the matter was not handled well, it could spark a crisis. How could a woman not know which brother was the biological father of her kids? How shameful would that be?

That’s why Ning Ran wanted to avoid talking about it. She was thinking for everyone, herself, the brothers and the kids.

It was such a pain that Nan Chen brought it up today.

“Tell me! What’s going on!” Nan Chen would not relent.

“Just treat it as gibber and stop asking. There’s no sob story to tell, this is not a drama! Please let me off.” Ning Ran started panicking.

“But I have the right to know the truth!” Nan Chen was also getting anxious.

This woman was not saying anything, no matter how he asked. Nan Chen was losing his patience. It has been such a long night!

“The truth is I was drunk and spouted nonsense. There is no other truth.”

Ning Ran stood up. She took her bag and was ready to leave. She did not want to continue with this conversation anymore.

Nan Chen stopped her. “You can only leave after we have clarified the matter. It’s the responsible thing to do!”

“I don’t know. I really don’t know! Did you guys not already done a DNA test? Results have already shown that the kids belong to Nan Xing. You mean you don’t believe in scientific testing?” Ning Ran turned around and asked Nan Chen.

“But the blood sample was mine!”

That got Ning Ran stunned.

What does that mean? If the blood sample belonged to Poker Face, it would mean that Poker Face was the biological father of the kids.

“Why did you use your blood sample?”

“Nan Xing was still in Africa at that time. We are identical twins and have the same DNA. So I decided to send my blood sample instead.”
