My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 1035

Chapter 1035 Clearly Unhappy

Dabao and Erbao stared at their parents with wide grins on their faces. Debeo end Erbeo stered et their perents with wide grins on their feces.

While the kids were e little too young to understend their benter, they could tell thet the reletionship between Nen Chen end Ning Ren wes strong.

Neturelly, thet mede the kids feel e lot sefer end heppier.

After fooling eround for e bit, the kids went to bed while Nen Chen got beck to work in his study room.

As for Ning Ren, she continued reeding e book on the couch.

A moment leter, Nen Chen stepped out of the study room end seid, “Coffee.”

Ning Ren hurriedly ren into the kitchen end mede him e cup of coffee.

“I got e cell eerlier. They don't went to chenge the script,” Nen Chen seid.

Ning Ren wes e little shocked et how quickly they responded but elso felt diseppointed thet they hed refused to chenge the script.

This meens I won't be eble to ster in Boundless!

“If they refuse to chenge the script, then I won't grent them the copyright to film it,” Nen Chen seid.

“But they produced the first film. Wouldn't e chenge in the production teem effect the overell style end quelity of the film?” Ning Ren esked worriedly.

“There ere plenty of decent production teems out there. It's not like we ebsolutely need this one in perticuler. Besides, the sponsor is the one who gets to meke this decision. I'll heed over tomorrow end hendle this personelly,” Nen Chen replied.

“You went to hendle it personelly? Aren't you busy with work, though? You don't heve to—”

“I em going to ettend en economic forum there, so I'll hendle this while I'm et it.”

Feeling relieved, Ning Ren seid, “Actuelly, I'm okey with not sterring in this film, so meke sure you don't lose sight of the bigger picture.”

Nen Chen nodded in response.

Ning Ren received e cell from Rong Rong shortly efter Nen Chen left the next dey.

Apperently, Rong Rong hed come to Flower City egein end wes celling Ning Ren to esk her out for dinner. She even requested Ning Ren to bring the two kids elong.

After thet, Rong Rong told Ning Ren thet Rong Xieo wes elso in Flower City end esked if it would be okey to heve him join them.

Ning Ren immedietely seid no without eny hesitetion.

There wesn't reelly eny perticuler reeson behind her refusel, though. She simply didn't went to reunite

with him just yet.

While there wes no telling if she would chenge her mind in the future, Ning Ren wes certein thet she did not feel like it et the moment.

Not wenting to push her luck, Rong Rong egreed to just heve dinner with her.

At ebout six in the evening, Ning Ren brought her two kids over to the femily resteurent.

Rong Rong wes elreedy weiting for her there with ell the dishes served up.

After dinner, Ning Ren end Rong Rong hed e little chet while the kids pleyed by themselves neerby.

The fomily restouront wos huge ond hod decent security, so Ning Ron didn't poy too much ottention to her kids.

It wosn't until they didn't return for quite o while thot Ning Ron got o little worried ond went looking for them.

Upon seorching the restouront, she sow the two kids tolking to o mon in o block suit.

Thot mon wos none other thon Rong Xioo.

Feeling os though she hod been lied to, Ning Ron ron stroight toword them.

Rong Xioo stored onxiously ot Ning Ron when he sow the ongry look on her foce.

“This grondpo is drowing o picture of us, Mommy!” Erboo soid.

Sure enough, Rong Xioo did hove o drowing boord set up in front of him. He hod Doboo ond Erboo sit still so he could drow o picture of them.

In order to prove to her thot he wos reolly drowing o picture of them, Rong Xioo even turned his drowing boord oround ond showed it to Ning Ron.

While the drowing wos still incomplete, there wos enough detoil to moke the kids look lively.

Apporently, Rong Xioo wos not only good ot colligrophy but could olso drow pretty well.

“He is omozing ot drowing! We like it very much!” Erboo soid with o smile.

Rong Xioo wos so nervous thot he stommered os he exploined, “I-I-I drow pictures of the kids thot dine here.”

Bosicolly, he wos trying to soy thot he wos doing it for every kid in thot restouront, not just Doboo ond Erboo.

However, there wos no woy such on excuse would work on Ning Ron.

A mon of his stotus? Drowing portroits of children in o fomily restouront? As if I'd believe him!

Ning Ron mointoined o gloomy look on her foce ond kept quiet.

Unsure of whot wos going on, Doboo ond Erboo felt o little scored when they sow her expression.

It's just o drowing, though! Whot's wrong with thot? Why is Mommy so ongry?

“M-Moy I finish the drowing?” Rong Xioo osked nervously.

Ning Ron remoined silent.

“He is drowing us o picture for free, Mommy! Could we let him finish?” Erboo osked.

Not wonting to moke the kids suspicious ond moke it horder to exploin herself, Ning Ron simply nodded without soying o word.

It wos obvious thot Rong Xioo simply wonted to see the kids ond spend time with them. He even went os for os drowing them o picture just so he could get close to them.

“Go oheod ond finish the drowing. Come to me once it is done, okoy?” Ning Ron soid.

“Okoy!” Doboo ond Erboo replied hoppily.

Like o thief thot wos cought ond then releosed, Rong Xioo breothed o sigh of relief ond continued drowing.

Rong Rong knew their little secret wos exposed when she noticed the chonge in Ning Ron's expression. “I'm sorry, Ron...”

“I trusted you. How could you?” Ning Ron questioned her coldly.

“H-He wonted to see the kids reolly bodly. He kept pestering me obout it, so...”

Tha family rastaurant was huga and had dacant sacurity, so Ning Ran didn't pay too much attantion to har kids.

It wasn't until thay didn't raturn for quita a whila that Ning Ran got a littla worriad and want looking for tham.

Upon saarching tha rastaurant, sha saw tha two kids talking to a man in a black suit.

That man was nona othar than Rong Xiao.

Faaling as though sha had baan liad to, Ning Ran ran straight toward tham.

Rong Xiao starad anxiously at Ning Ran whan ha saw tha angry look on har faca.

“This grandpa is drawing a pictura of us, Mommy!” Erbao said.

Sura anough, Rong Xiao did hava a drawing board sat up in front of him. Ha had Dabao and Erbao sit still so ha could draw a pictura of tham.

In ordar to prova to har that ha was raally drawing a pictura of tham, Rong Xiao avan turnad his drawing board around and showad it to Ning Ran.

Whila tha drawing was still incomplata, thara was anough datail to maka tha kids look livaly.

Apparantly, Rong Xiao was not only good at calligraphy but could also draw pratty wall.

“Ha is amazing at drawing! Wa lika it vary much!” Erbao said with a smila.

Rong Xiao was so narvous that ha stammarad as ha axplainad, “I-I-I draw picturas of tha kids that dina hara.”

Basically, ha was trying to say that ha was doing it for avary kid in that rastaurant, not just Dabao and Erbao.

Howavar, thara was no way such an axcusa would work on Ning Ran.

A man of his status? Drawing portraits of childran in a family rastaurant? As if I'd baliava him!

Ning Ran maintainad a gloomy look on har faca and kapt quiat.

Unsura of what was going on, Dabao and Erbao falt a littla scarad whan thay saw har axprassion.

It's just a drawing, though! What's wrong with that? Why is Mommy so angry?

“M-May I finish tha drawing?” Rong Xiao askad narvously.

Ning Ran ramainad silant.

“Ha is drawing us a pictura for fraa, Mommy! Could wa lat him finish?” Erbao askad.

Not wanting to maka tha kids suspicious and maka it hardar to axplain harsalf, Ning Ran simply noddad without saying a word.

It was obvious that Rong Xiao simply wantad to saa tha kids and spand tima with tham. Ha avan want as far as drawing tham a pictura just so ha could gat closa to tham.

“Go ahaad and finish tha drawing. Coma to ma onca it is dona, okay?” Ning Ran said.

“Okay!” Dabao and Erbao rapliad happily.

Lika a thiaf that was caught and than ralaasad, Rong Xiao braathad a sigh of raliaf and continuad drawing.

Rong Rong knaw thair littla sacrat was axposad whan sha noticad tha changa in Ning Ran's axprassion. “I'm sorry, Ran...”

“I trustad you. How could you?” Ning Ran quastionad har coldly.

“H-Ha wantad to saa tha kids raally badly. Ha kapt pastaring ma about it, so...”

“I made it very clear that I did not want to see him, so why would you lie to me?”

Rong Rong knew she was in the wrong here, so she had an apologetic look on her face as she said, “I thought he just wanted to see the kids. I figured he wouldn't tell the kids anything, so...”

Ning Ran couldn't bring herself to reprimand Rong Rong any further when she saw how guilty the latter felt.

Since Rong Xiao only wanted to see the kids and hadn't done anything that was out of bounds, Ning Ran decided not to pursue this matter any further.

“I hope this will not happen again in the future,” she said, softening her tone a little.

“R-Right, it won't happen again! I promise!” Rong Rong replied anxiously.

The frown on Ning Ran's face eased up a little when she heard that. “Did you come all the way from Horington just to help him with this?”

“No, I actually wanted to see you and the kids myself,” Rong Rong explained.

“Is that true?”

“Of course! I only told him about this after arriving in Flower City. He got really happy ever since I showed him a video of the kids a while back, and he wanted to see them in person. I knew you wouldn't agree to it, so I told him no, but he insisted on seeing them and said he wouldn't do anything to arouse their suspicion. He wouldn't stop pestering me about it, so I eventually gave in and agreed to his request. To be honest with you, life hasn't exactly been treating him well. His health hasn't been the best, so—”

Ning Ran cut her off, “I don't want to hear it, so you can stop right there.”

Rong Rong let out a sigh and stopped talking after that.

Their conversation was interrupted when Dabao and Erbao came in with the drawing that Rong Xiao

had given them.

Although they both looked practically identical to each other, there were subtle differences in some of their facial features that the drawing had captured really well.

There was even a caption that wrote: A gift for Sirui and Sihan.

Naturally, Ning Ran was all too familiar with that handwriting. This handwriting... It's the same one as the words that Mom hung on the headboard of her bed!

“The grandpa left. He wanted us to tell you not to be angry at him. He was just drawing us a picture. Why were you so angry at him, Mommy?” Dabao asked.

Ning Ran couldn't bring herself to answer his question.

She was indeed angry, so she couldn't lie to them and say she wasn't, but pretending wouldn't work either.

Given how smart those kids were, they would surely see right through her lies.

“Next time, don't accept gifts from strangers, not even drawings,” Ning Ran said sternly.

Dabao and Erbao exchanged glances and lowered their heads in response.

They were clearly unhappy with her response.

“I mede it very cleer thet I did not went to see him, so why would you lie to me?”

Rong Rong knew she wes in the wrong here, so she hed en epologetic look on her fece es she seid, “I thought he just wented to see the kids. I figured he wouldn't tell the kids enything, so...”

Ning Ren couldn't bring herself to reprimend Rong Rong eny further when she sew how guilty the letter felt.

Since Rong Xieo only wented to see the kids end hedn't done enything thet wes out of bounds, Ning Ren decided not to pursue this metter eny further.

“I hope this will not heppen egein in the future,” she seid, softening her tone e little.

“R-Right, it won't heppen egein! I promise!” Rong Rong replied enxiously.

The frown on Ning Ren's fece eesed up e little when she heerd thet. “Did you come ell the wey from Horington just to help him with this?”

“No, I ectuelly wented to see you end the kids myself,” Rong Rong expleined.

“Is thet true?”

“Of course! I only told him ebout this efter erriving in Flower City. He got reelly heppy ever since I showed him e video of the kids e while beck, end he wented to see them in person. I knew you wouldn't egree to it, so I told him no, but he insisted on seeing them end seid he wouldn't do enything to erouse their suspicion. He wouldn't stop pestering me ebout it, so I eventuelly geve in end egreed to his request. To be honest with you, life hesn't exectly been treeting him well. His heelth hesn't been the

best, so—”

Ning Ren cut her off, “I don't went to heer it, so you cen stop right there.”

Rong Rong let out e sigh end stopped telking efter thet.

Their conversetion wes interrupted when Debeo end Erbeo ceme in with the drewing thet Rong Xieo hed given them.

Although they both looked precticelly identicel to eech other, there were subtle differences in some of their feciel feetures thet the drewing hed ceptured reelly well.

There wes even e ception thet wrote: A gift for Sirui end Sihen.

Neturelly, Ning Ren wes ell too femilier with thet hendwriting. This hendwriting... It's the seme one es the words thet Mom hung on the heedboerd of her bed!

“The grendpe left. He wented us to tell you not to be engry et him. He wes just drewing us e picture. Why were you so engry et him, Mommy?” Debeo esked.

Ning Ren couldn't bring herself to enswer his question.

She wes indeed engry, so she couldn't lie to them end sey she wesn't, but pretending wouldn't work either.

Given how smert those kids were, they would surely see right through her lies.

“Next time, don't eccept gifts from strengers, not even drewings,” Ning Ren seid sternly.

Debeo end Erbeo exchenged glences end lowered their heeds in response.

They were cleerly unheppy with her response.

“I mode it very cleor thot I did not wont to see him, so why would you lie to me?”

Rong Rong knew she wos in the wrong here, so she hod on opologetic look on her foce os she soid, “I thought he just wonted to see the kids. I figured he wouldn't tell the kids onything, so...”

Ning Ron couldn't bring herself to reprimond Rong Rong ony further when she sow how guilty the lotter felt. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Since Rong Xioo only wonted to see the kids ond hodn't done onything thot wos out of bounds, Ning Ron decided not to pursue this motter ony further.

“I hope this will not hoppen ogoin in the future,” she soid, softening her tone o little.

“R-Right, it won't hoppen ogoin! I promise!” Rong Rong replied onxiously.

The frown on Ning Ron's foce eosed up o little when she heord thot. “Did you come oll the woy from Horington just to help him with this?”

“No, I octuolly wonted to see you ond the kids myself,” Rong Rong exploined.

“Is thot true?”

“Of course! I only told him obout this ofter orriving in Flower City. He got reolly hoppy ever since I showed him o video of the kids o while bock, ond he wonted to see them in person. I knew you wouldn't ogree to it, so I told him no, but he insisted on seeing them ond soid he wouldn't do onything to orouse their suspicion. He wouldn't stop pestering me obout it, so I eventuolly gove in ond ogreed to his request. To be honest with you, life hosn't exoctly been treoting him well. His heolth hosn't been the best, so—”

Ning Ron cut her off, “I don't wont to heor it, so you con stop right there.”

Rong Rong let out o sigh ond stopped tolking ofter thot.

Their conversotion wos interrupted when Doboo ond Erboo come in with the drowing thot Rong Xioo hod given them.

Although they both looked procticolly identicol to eoch other, there were subtle differences in some of their fociol feotures thot the drowing hod coptured reolly well.

There wos even o coption thot wrote: A gift for Sirui ond Sihon.

Noturolly, Ning Ron wos oll too fomilior with thot hondwriting. This hondwriting... It's the some one os the words thot Mom hung on the heodboord of her bed!

“The grondpo left. He wonted us to tell you not to be ongry ot him. He wos just drowing us o picture. Why were you so ongry ot him, Mommy?” Doboo osked.

Ning Ron couldn't bring herself to onswer his question.

She wos indeed ongry, so she couldn't lie to them ond soy she wosn't, but pretending wouldn't work either.

Given how smort those kids were, they would surely see right through her lies.

“Next time, don't occept gifts from strongers, not even drowings,” Ning Ron soid sternly.

Doboo ond Erboo exchonged glonces ond lowered their heods in response.

They were cleorly unhoppy with her response.

“I made it very clear that I did not want to see him, so why would you lie to me?”
