My Wife Is a Superstar
Chapter 212

“Dabao, did you just talk to your mommy?” Nan Chen asked Dabao gently after he hung up on thecall. He regained his composure. After all, Dabao is only a kid. I can't lose my cool before him.Dabao nodded.

“What did you talk about?” Nan Chen felt a little embarrassed asking this question. It's weird toinquire about Ning Ran from a kid.

"We were just talking casually,” Dabao replied calmly.

“I see.” Nan Chen nodded.

“Third Uncle, I'm going to bed now. Get some rest soon.” Dabao said, preparing to leave.

“Hold on. Let's talk for a while. It's still early.” Nan Chen was reluctant to let him go.

Dabao stopped in his tracks and stared at Nan Chen with his big, black eyes, “What do you want totalk about?”

Actually, all Nan Chen wanted to replace out was Ning Ran’s location when she called Dabao just now.“Anything,” Nan Chen replied passively.

“I guess you want to talk about mommy?” Dabao asked abruptly.

Nan Chen was taken aback. Isn't he too blunt asking that question! This kid is too smart for his owngood. It isn't necessarily a good thing for adults as he can read our thoughts easily. How am Isupposed to reply?

"Of course not.” Nan Chen denied immediately. /t will be awkward if I admit it.

“Then what do you want to talk about?”

“Let's talk about Daddy,” Nan Chen said, trying to change the topic.

"What about Daddy? Oh yeah! I haven't seen Daddy for two days. Where has he gone to?”

"He has gone abroad for a business trip, so he'll only be back after some time.” Nan Chen lied again.Nan Xing had actually overheard Nan Chen in the arena earlier that the children were not his. So, hehad taken a flight to Europe for a vacation that same morning.

Although Nan Xing was good-natured, what happened this time was too much for him to accept.He was at a loss on how to face Ning Ran and the two kids. Thus, he had sought refuge elsewherefor the time being. This way, he could avoid the awkward situation. Ning Ran, as well as the two kidsfrom, would also be spared any embarrassment when they found out the truth this way.

“Okay.” Dabao nodded.

“Do you like daddy?”

Dabao looked at Nan Chen, confused. What does he mean by that? Whether I like Daddy or not, hewill still be my Daddy. It's not like I can change my Daddy if I don't like him. That's something

only Erbao will think about, so why is uncle asking such a question?

“I like Daddy.” Dabao answered reluctantly.

"What if Daddy is not actually Daddy?” Nan Chen was nervous when he said that.

How can I be so nervous when he’s just a five-year-old boy? This is so weird!

"What do you mean, Third Uncle?” Dabao stared at Nan Chen.

“I'm saying, what if someone else, not Nan Xing, turns out to be yours and Erbao’s Daddy?” NanChen became more nervous.

“No, I won't like it,” Dabao replied him determinedly.

Nan Chen froze for a moment. It had never crossed his mind that Dabao would resolutely detest it.“I don't want another person to become my Daddy,” Dabao added angrily.

Dabao furrowed his brows and stared at Nan Chen coldly. The boy didn't know that he lookedexactly like a mini version of Nan Chen when he was angry. Nan Chen only thought the expressionon Dabao’s face looked familiar and was even slightly shaken by it.

Why's Dabao so angry and opposing the possibility so violently?

Actually, Dabao had misunderstood what Nan Chen meant. The latter only meant to ask if Dabaowould mind him transforming from his uncle to his daddy.

However, Dabao had another person in mind; the man involved in a scandal with his mother, whichhad gone viral online.

Dabao assumed Nan Chen had seen the rumor online defaming Ning Ran and thought his unclesought out his view about this matter.

Furthermore, Dabao thought his uncle did not believe in his mother, and his question was filled withmalicious intentions. Thus, he was furious.

Dabao wouldn't allow anyone to harm his mother, not even his own uncle.

Because in his eyes, his mother was the best person in this world. She was irreplaceable. Hewouldn't let anyone bully her.

Even with his intellect, Nan Chen couldn't read the child's mind.

Their brilliant minds were thinking of two different things; their failure to communicateappropriately had led to a misunderstanding.

Nan Chen looked at the child, not knowing how to respond.

What else can I say now that Dabao has said this? It seems that I have to put off my revelation as theirbiological father for another time. I can't rush into this matter.

Nan Chen nodded his head awkwardly, “Go to bed now. Kids need plenty of sleep to growproperly.”

"Goodnight, Third Uncle. Mommy is a good mommy. She's not a bad one,” said Dabao, baffling NanChen.

Nan Chen nodded in agreement, “Of course. Of course.”

Dabao was about to leave when a sudden thought crossed his mind, “Third Uncle, can I have lunchwith Mommy tomorrow?”

Nan Chen remained silent as he tried to figure out the reason for Dabao’s sudden request.

“It isn't mommy's idea. I just want to have lunch with Aunt Xiang and Mommy. I miss Aunt Xiang,she took good care of us last time,” Dabao said

As much as Nan Chen was unwilling to let Dabao and Ning Ran see each other in the currentsituation, he thought it was inappropriate to object to the child's request now that the boy hadmade his intention clear.

But no matter what, he had no reason to prevent the mother and child from seeing each otherbecause it was cruel to do that to both Ning Ran and the boy.

Nan Chen had never hesitated in any decision making. However, he seemed to be exceptionallyvigilant when it came to his children.

Because if a scar was left in a child's heart, it might stay there for a lifetime, unable to be trulyhealed.

"Alright. I'll make arrangements for it.” Nan Chen nodded.

“I don’t wanna be spied on by you during my meal,” Dabao added.

Nan Chen drew in a cold breath. This kid is too sharp!

Here I thought I could perhaps book a restaurant to monitor Ning Ran and the children while theyhave lunch. It was a good plan, but Dabao has seen through my plan and pointed it out. I've got notricks now.

"Of course not! I'm not someone who would do stuff like this. I just want to book a nice restaurantfor you, and treat you to a meal,” Nan Chen said.

“Thanks, Third Uncle. I believe in Mommy, and I hope you do as well.” Dabao smiled.

"Of course. Of course.” Nan Chen answered insincerely.

“Thanks, Third Uncle. Goodnight.”

“Goodnight. By the way, where was Mommy when she called you just now?” Nan Chen couldn't helpbut ask the one question he was dying to know the most.

He had tried his best to hold it back, but his curiosity got the better of him

"At home, with Aunt Xiang,” Dabao replied.

"I see. Glad that she’s doing well. All's fine then.” Nan Chen heaved a deep sigh of relief.

"What's going to happen to Mommy?” Dabao asked.

“It's fine. There's nothing to be worried about. Goodnight, darling.” Nan Chen looked incrediblyrelieved.

"Goodnight, Third Uncle.”

Dabao turned around and ruminated about what had just happened. Third Uncle is acting ratherpeculiar tonight. He doesn't seem like his usual self at all.

Nan Chen was abashed when he realized he had become a different person ever since Ning Ranand the children entered his life.

He couldn't articulate the changes in words; he acted differently, whether in conduct or any otheraspects.

Nan Chen felt helpless because he has always tried to be ruthless, but he has now unknowinglybecome gentle out of the blue.
