My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 198

Ning Ran sat down again.

Is this some kind of a joke? How can the Nan family be so unreliable!

The kids have been calling Nan Xing “daddy” for so long and now he is telling me that the blood sample belongs to him?

“How can you be so irresponsible! This is so unfair to the kids!” Ning Ran reprimanded.

“Identical twins have almost identical DNA. I only did that because he was at…”

“Ridiculous! It was a DNA test. How could you have gone for ‘almost identical’? You think it’s a game?” This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Nan Chen did not defend himself this time. He agreed that he should have taken the matter more seriously.

But he had not had associations with any women for the past few years. On the other hand, Nan Xing was the one who fooled around. Naturally, when the kids showed up, anyone would think that they were Nan Xing’s.

“It was a mistake. I have already sent Nan Xing’s blood sample over. The results will be out in a week’s time. But before that, can you tell me what actually happened that time.” Nan Chen asked.

Ning Ran kept quiet.

It wasn’t easy for her to talk about it.

“Only the kid’s biological father would know what happened. I am not clear what happened either.” Ning Ran blushed as she said that.

Nan Chen was stunned. It did make some sense.

It had to involve some steamy details for her to get pregnant. How could he expect her to say out loud?

Only the parties involved would know, it was not something that could be told to an outsider.

Nan Chen merely nodded. He did not say anything more.

He poured himself another cup of sake and finished it.

If it was not convenient to talk about that, then they could only wait for the test results.

“I have some scenes to shoot tomorrow. I want to leave now.”

“Ok.” Nan Chen said simply.

On the way back to the hotel, Ning Ran sat next to the driver while Nan Chen sat at the back.

None of them said anything. They were each lost in their own thoughts.

They were thinking about the same thing, but from entirely different angles.

When they reached the hotel foyer, the hotel doorman stepped forward to open the car door.

Ning Ran got out of the car, while Nan Chen remained inside. He did not stay at the hotel.

After a few steps, Ning Ran turned back and waved, as a gesture to thank Nan Chen for sending her back.

Nan Chen rolled the car windows down and looked at Ning Ran. That was his acknowledgement.

Shortly after, the car windows were up again and the car drove off.

Ning Ran paused for a second and walked inside the hotel.

For the past few days, Cheng Xiangyun had been searching for a new place for Ning Ran. Ning Ran had to move out of the hotel once she had a new place.

It was too expensive to stay at the hotel any longer. It made her worried.

She almost walked right into someone. When she lifted her head, she saw that the person was looking at where Nan Chen’s car was a minute ago.

It was Nan Xing.

“Why are you here?” Ning Ran asked.

“I am here for you, obviously. Cheng Xiangyun said that you were staying here. I am here to see you.”

Nan Xing’s eyes were still fixed on the same spot, even though Nan Chen’s car had driven off long ago.

“Oh.” Ning Ran said, and walked towards the elevator.

Nan Xing followed behind her.

“What are you doing? I need to rest now. Why are you following me?”

“I am here just to see you. I only just saw you; how can I leave so soon?”

“I really have to rest. Please don’t follow me, it’s not appropriate.”

“Was it my brother who sent you back just now?” Nan Xing was staring at Ning Ran.

“Yup. You saw his car.”

“Where did you go? Did my brother arrange for you to stay here?”

Ning Ran was just about to say “yes”, when she realized that the matter was too complicated.

Besides, it didn’t seem like that was the only thing Nan Xing wanted to ask. He was thinking of something else too.

“I was attacked by some haters. I had nowhere else to go, so I ended up here. Cheng Xiangyun is already looking for a place. When she finds one, I will move immediately.” Ning Ran explained.

Nan Xing kept quiet.

“Ok, it’s late. You should go back. Have a good rest.” Ning Ran said.

But Nan Xing still did not say anything.

“It’s not what you are thinking, your brother and I…”

“If it’s not that, then what is it?” Nan Xing suddenly asked.

“Err…” Ning Ran did not know what to say.

“Are you going to tell me?” Nan Xing suddenly felt his anger rising.

“What do you want me to say?” Ning Ran asked him.

“What’s going on between you and my brother?”

“He hates me and I hate him. Besides that, what else can go on between us?” Ning Ran said.

“Nothing else?”

“What else?”

“If there is nothing else, then why was he waiting for you at the set today? Where did you and him go? And why did you come back so late?”

“I was hungry and wanted to find some food to eat. We were going to eat skewers, but he found the place too noisy. So, he brought me to eat Kobe beef and we drank some sake. That’s it.”

“That’s it?”

“That’s it.”

“He said he had things to discuss with you. What was that about?”

Nan Xing was not stupid. He wasn’t going to be so easily convinced.

“Nothing.” Ning Ran hoped that she could muddle through.

“That’s not possible! My brother is such a busy person. Even other big shots have to make an appointment if they want to meet him. But he waited for you on the set for so long. He would have only done that if it’s something important!”

Ning Ran was stumped at Nan Xing’s accurate analysis of the situation.

Indeed, Nan Chen had something to ask her. And it was a serious matter.

But how could she speak about it? Where should she start?

“He did have some questions for me, but I was not able to answer him. If you want to know more, you should ask him directly.” Ning Ran did not know what else to say.

“You can’t tell me about it?”

“I can’t. It’s better if you ask him directly. I beg you, please don’t ask anymore. I have my difficulties. But you have to believe there is nothing going on between us. At least, it’s nothing you are thinking about.” Ning Ran tried to sound as pitiful as she could.

Nan Xing looked at Ning Ran. He did not think that Ning Ran was lying.

“Ok then. I’ll ask my brother tomorrow. Let’s go.”

“Go where?”

“Didn’t you say you wanted to rest? I’ll walk you up.”

“No need. You should go off now.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you. I’ll leave after you reach your door.” Nan Xing persisted.

“Ok then.” Ning Ran did not want to argue with him. She turned towards the elevator.

When they were at Ning Ran’s door, she looked at Nan Xing and said, “This is my room. You can leave now.”

“What a coincidence! I just stay next door.” Nan Xing said.

“What? You can go home right? Why are you staying at a hotel? When did you make the room reservation?”

“I haven’t reserved yet. I am going down to make the reservation right now. I am staying next to you.”

“Why are you doing this? The room costs more than thirty thousand a night, it is expensive.” Ning Ran was slow to react.

“Not at all.” Nan Xing laughed.

He is so wealthy, that money means nothing to him. Ning Ran realized.

“Suit yourself then. I’m going in.” Ning Ran entered the room and shut the door behind her.

Just as she laid down, the doorbell rang. It was Nan Xing.

“I’m just next door. If you need anything, just let me know.” Nan Xing said.

“Why would I need anything at this hour? Are you crazy? Stop disturbing me. I want to rest.” Ning Ran was irritated.

“I’m just letting you know; in case you need anything. I will be here to protect you.”

“You’re crazy! I’m very safe here. I don’t need your protection.”

Ning Ran slammed the door shut.
