My Wife Is a Superstar
Chapter 143

Ning Ran noticed a problem — the man before her did not only just hate others talking bad abouthim. He got equally angry when someone said nasty things about his brother too.

I guess it made sense. They're twin brothers, after all. If they look alike, they might think alike aswell. I might have to change my strategy again!

“Nan Xing, actually both of you are equally good. In terms of looks, you two are the most good-looking men in Flower City.” Ning Ran changed her tone. “And as for your family background, whatelse can I say? The Nan family is the wealthiest in Flower City. Speaking of talents, Nan Chen choseme to play that character, and gave me additional scenes. This shows that he has good taste...” NingRan paused for a moment.

She saw a pair of eyes glaring fiercely at her direction once again.

Who is this woman praising? She's literally just praising herself!

Ning Ran could not help but laugh. “Haha! I just feel like praising myself, don’t mind me. The mostimportant point here is, you two brothers are the best, créme de la créme!”

Nan Xing frowned. This woman is cunning. That's the nature of a vixen, indeed!

Ning Ran observed, and soon learned that men would become less hostile when someone strokedat their ego. Clearly it was effective in this instance.

“Do you mean what you just said?” Nan Chen toned down his voice.

“Yes, you two are the best.” Ning Ran responded with a sincere look.

Nan Chen was puzzled. She clearly is lying but how on earth did she manage to make it believable?Are all actors like this, or is it just her?

“Then why don’t you marry me?” Nan Chen asked nonchalantly.

It was a tricky question that caused Ning Ran to be speechless.

Yeah, since he’s so good, why don't you marry him?

“This... marrying someone has nothing to do with how nice a person is.” Ning Ran could barelyprovide a convincing answer.

"What do you mean?”

“I don't necessarily need to marry the person if he is nice. Likewise, if he is bad, it doesn’t mean Ishould not marry him. It's all about fate.”

"We already have two kids together, and you're trying to replace “fate’ elsewhere?” He went straight tothe point.

Ning Ran was lost for words once again.

“It was an accident. The children were an accident.” Ning Ran was starting to feel a little helpless.“Accident? Even if it really was an accident, we still need to take responsibility for it.”

To Nan Chen's understanding, the so-called “accident’ was all irresponsibly caused by herdebauched self-back then.

But the accident Ning Ran was referring to, was the arrangement orchestrated by Luo Fei.

“I gave birth to them, and they're my responsibility. I'm well aware of that.” Ning Ran began to feelannoyed.

Nan Chen, for once, concurred with her. True, it must have been hard on her.

“Are you really not interested in the Nan family’s wealth?” Nan Chen asked a more serious question."Of course I am, I'm only human, of course I am interested in money. Otherwise, why would I work?”Ning Ran answered honestly.

Nan Chen thought to himself, she has finally revealed her true self.

“So what are your thoughts, exactly?” Nan Chen asked further.

“In a rich family, too many things are at stake. You and I are from two different worlds. Marrying youwill not bring me happiness.” Ning Ran said.

"What do you mean?”

“You want to marry me because of the kids. It may seem fun at first but you might lose interest inthis kind of marriage.” She explained. “And your family will despise me. When you're still on my side,I can fend for myself. But once you've kicked me to the curb, I'll just be a total outsider. When thishappens, my life will plunge into darkness. I will be humiliated, sidelined and lose my position in thefamily.” Ning Ran continued.

“You're rich, and you can always replace someone younger and prettier after this, but I can't. I will besidelined, and lose everything I have — especially my kids — and live a miserable life from then on.”Ning Ran shared her concerns in a calm voice, but Nan Chen was shocked to hear this.

What is wrong with this woman? Why would she think of everything bad about a marriage in thefirst place? Did she watch too many dramas on the “Battles in the Imperial Harem’?

Nan Chen let out a sardonic laugh, but did not say anything.

It was clear he disagreed with what Ning Ran said, but did not want to refute her.

"You don't agree with me?” Ning Ran asked.

“You made the Nan family sound like hell. That's not the case.” Nan Chen said.

“I don't know if it's hell or not, but I'm not interested to marry into the Nan family.”

Nan Chen did not speak, but deep in his heart, he was still trying to figure out the truths and lies inher words.

Did she actually give birth to the children because she wanted to, and not because she wanted touse them to her advantage?

But isn't she the kind of person who would do nasty things to her own mother, and get rid of anyobstacles that would stop her from reaching her goals?

Is she still pretending?

If she has no intention of marrying into the Nan family, then there must be other ulterior motives.

I cannot allow that to happen! We'll have to get Nan Xing to marry her and get hold of the children,to stop her from carrying out whatever evil scheme she has in mind.

Nan Chen made up his mind. He wanted Nan Xing and Ning Ran to get married.

After dropping Ning Ran off at the filming location, Nan Chen did not walk her in but drove off rightaway.

He needed to be on time for an important meeting.

Ning Ran walked into the site, and saw a group of people gathering around someone.

It was not the director, but the new actress they had hired to replace Luo Fei for the supportingcharacter.

“Ms. Ding is here.” Someone from the crew saw Ning Ran coming.

The new actress with a pretty face turned around. Her name was Tang Jing, who had started off as achild actress. She had completed her studies in acting at the Beijing Film Academy, and was now apostgraduate student.

This actress, who was not only pretty but also highly educated, was very selective of the filmprojects she undertook.

The crew must have had put in a lot of effort to get her into the project. Of course, this includedspending a lot of money.

“Are you Ms. Ding? Hello, I'm Tang Jing, nice to meet you.” The highly educated celebrity walkedover and extended her smooth and slender hand to greet Ning Ran with a handshake.

Ning Ran did not expect her to be so friendly, and she smiled. “Hello, I'm Ding Mi.”

“It's my pleasure to meet you.”

The director came forward, “Great, now the lead and supporting actresses are here. We can finallycontinue with filming. You two are skillful actresses, and with your participation in the project, thisdrama series is definitely going to be a hit.”

“I still have a lot to learn from Ms. Ding.” Tang Jing said modestly.

“You have gone through formal training in acting, so I should be learning from you instead.” NingRan responded humbly as well.

“Look, two humble actresses. Well, learn from each other, and we'll grow as a team. I'm sure we willdo well and turn this production into a classic masterpiece.” Wang Yan said with joy.

The atmosphere at the filming location was pleasant, and this put Ning Ran in a good mood.

Tang Jing's impressive acting skills had also made the filming of their first scene an enjoyableprocess for Ning Ran.

When two talented people met, they would inspire each other to push their limits. And this hadbrought them each to the next level.
