My Wife Is a Superstar
Chapter 261

After the ringing went on for a while, Nan Chen eventually stood up and walked to the side to pickup the call.

Cheng Xiangyun kept shooting glances at Ning Ran, who knew perfectly what she meant.

She was urging Ning Ran to eavesdrop on the conversation and replace out who Nan Chen wasspeaking with.

However, Ning Ran refused to do that. Regardless who the person was, she would not intrude onanother's private conversation.

After Nan Chen finished talking, he walked over and said, “That's all for today, so I'll get going first.”He did not give any explanations for his abrupt departure.

Since his boss was leaving, there was no reason for Jiang Zhe to continue staying. As such, he stoodup as well.

Cheng Xiangyun stared at Ning Ran again, spurring her on to replace out about the situation.

Ning Ran bolted up from her seat as she was also keen to replace out the actual circumstances. Sheparted her lips, but could not replace the right words to say.

"Ms. Ding, feel free to ask me anything,” Jiang Zhe asked attentively.

Ning Ran found it hard to probe into Nan Chen's private life, so instead of asking what she wantedto ask, she said, “Please get the bill!"

Although it was a reasonable request to make, it still felt odd coming from Ning Ran and turned outcomical.

Nan Chen had also stopped in his tracks as he was stunned by Ning Ran’s comment.

“Ms. Ding, please don't worry, the bill will be placed on our account and the restaurant will invoiceus tomorrow. If there is anything else the both of you need, feel free to let the waiter know.Everything will be on our tab,” Jiang Zhe explained.

“Sure, okay.” Ning Ran nodded.

Jiang Zhe then followed Nan Chen out of the restaurant.

Cheng Xiangyun and Ning Ran were the only two people left. Accompanying them was a table fullof untouched dishes which looked delicious.

"Why didn’t you replace out the reason he left so suddenly?” Cheng Xiangyun looked at Ning Ran."Why should I?” Ning Ran frowned, as she threw the question back to her.

"Well, since the children are his, it means he’s your man. How can you not be bothered if your manis going to meet another woman?”

"Firstly, the kids are mine, not his. Secondly, even if he is the biological dad of the kids, it does notmean he is my man. The kids were an accidental occurrence. He and I are entirely separateindividuals,” Ning Ran corrected Cheng Xiangyun sternly.

“Fine, you're so magnanimous and tolerant. Good for you!” There was nothing more ChengXiangyun could say.

"So what if I am neither magnanimous nor tolerant? Can I even go after him?” Ning Ran askedCheng Xiangyun.

“That's a valid point. He is Nan Chen. Even if he walks into a hotel with a lady blatantly in front ofyour eyes, there's nothing you can do.” Cheng Xiangyun appeared to be deep in thought.

Even though she was simply stating facts, Ning Ran was still roused by her remark.

“Let's not talk about him anymore. Anyway, nothing he does should concern me. Come, let's eat!”Ning Ran said in a spiteful manner.

"Oh, what did Mr. Assistant tell us just now? If there's not enough food, we can feel free to ordermore right?” Cheng Xiangyun suddenly changed the topic.

Ning Ran was shocked. “Aunt, don't we already have enough food? We haven't even started eatingyet and you are already thinking of ordering more?”

“It's obviously enough for the two of us, but it won't be enough if I ask a few more friends to joinus,” Cheng Xiangyun said.

Ning Ran was even more startled now. “You're intending to ask your friends to come over?”

"Yeah, since the two of us won't be able to finish so much food anyway, why not share the joy withothers? My friends are always sharing pictures of crayfish on social media, I'm sure they'd bestunned to see lobsters that are even bigger than their heads! I just want to let them know that ourRan has finally made it big! Right, I'm going to call them now!” Cheng Xiangyun said as she took outher phone

"Aunt, that doesn't seem like a good idea. This dinner gathering was arranged by Nan Chen. Eventhough we don't have to pay, wouldn't it be too much if we get others...

"What too much? Of course, it's not too much. Are you even aware of how rich that man is? Wouldhe care about a few pennies? I'm going to make some calls now... ”

Ning Ran sighed. Since the crazy Xiangyun was already unstoppable, she could only let her dowhatever she wanted to.

Meanwhile, at the Nanshi Corporation headquarters, there was a sweet and innocent-lookingbeautiful young lady sitting at the reception area. She was the second daughter of the Ouyangfamily, Ouyang Qing.

The woman, who had always admired Nan Chen, was the one who called him at dinner just now.Nan Chen only rushed back to the office because Ouyang Qing had told him that she had newsfrom Tokyo and needed to talk to him face-to-face.

Nan Chen walked towards his office straight away after exiting the elevator.

Whereas Jiang Zhe went to the reception to bring Ouyang Qing to Nan Chen's office.

The moment Ouyang Qing stepped into the office, she started exclaiming exaggeratedly, “Wow!This is such a pretty office! Chen, your office must be one of the most enchanting office I've everwalked into.”

That was the reaction most people had when they first entered Nan Chen's office. The only personwho did not share the same opinion was Ning Ran.

She was not fond of the way his office was decorated as she felt it was too lavish.

An office should look like an office. It's not supposed to be a place for one to flaunt his wealth. If itwas decorated like a palace, it wouldn't feel like an office anymore.

What's more interesting was that Nan Chen also did not like his office. He too, felt that it lookedway too luxurious, to the extent that it was decorated in poor taste.

As such, Nan Chen felt rather awkward at the way Ouyang Qing envied the place.

He did not understand how could so many people fancy the things he disliked.

Nan Chen sat down and instructed Jiang Zhe to pour Ouyang Qing a glass of water.

However, Ouyang Qing whipped out a thermos flask from her bag and said, “Chen, I know you arebusy and have to work late often. So, I have specially brewed you some coffee. I made it personally!”Since the young lady was so thoughtful, Nan Chen felt bad to reject her good intentions andaccepted it.

The coffee tasted mediocre. Either the brewing time had been too long, or there had been aprocedure which wasn't well taken care of.

But that was not important as Nan Chen did not come for the coffee. He only wanted to hear aboutthe news from Tokyo.

“Do you like the cup of coffee? Is it nice?” Ouyang Qing looked at Nan Chen with her big eyes inanticipation, hoping to get a compliment from him.

“It's not bad,” Nan Chen replied politely.

“Thanks for the praise, Chen!” Ouyang Qing beamed.

But Nan Chen had not given her any praise. He merely said it was not bad out of courtesy.

Nan Chen looked at Jiang Zhe, who took the hint and left the room, shutting the door behind him.However, Ouyang Qing did not bring up the main topic. Instead, she kept making small talk whilepacing around the room, complimenting the interior of the office.

She seemed to have forgotten the reason she was here, and acted as though she was a visitor whowas touring the office.

Nan Chen was concentrating on going through some work documents and did not broach thesubject as well.

“Chen, where did you go just now if you just came back from outside?” Ouyang Qing asked.Without lifting his head, Nan Chen answered, “Dinner.”

"Who did you have dinner with? You even brought your assistant along,” Ouyang Qing probedfurther.

" A friend,” Nan Chen gave another one-word answer.

“Wow, that person must be really lucky to be Chen's friend. Chen, you rejected me when I asked youout for lunch this afternoon, but you had time to meet your friend for dinner. Hmph! I'm so sad youdo not like me.”

The coquettish manner in which Ouyang Qing spoke stunned Nan Chen for a moment. In fact, hehad completely forgotten that the young lady had requested to have lunch with him.

However, he was not intending to explain himself, because Nan Chen did not have to account forhis actions to anyone.

As such, he did not respond to Ouyang Qing's comment.

Ouyang Qing realized that her tactic to act girly wasn't working. In order to grab Nan Chen'sattention, her best option was to talk about the purpose of her visit. “Chen, I received news fromTokyo.”

Only then did Nan Chen shift his gaze from the documents on his desk to Ouyang Qing.
