My Wife Is a Superstar
Chapter 406

In that afternoon, after school, Dabao and Erbao discovered that their Mommy, who promised topick them up from school, did not come. In her place was that familiar pretty lady Ouyang Qing.“Where's Mommy? Why doesn't she come?” questioned Erbao with a tinge of unhappiness.Although they had feigned politeness towards Ouyang Qing deliberately before, it was all an act topacify Mommy.

In their hearts, they did not like Ouyang Qing a single bit even though she always displayed anangelic smile in front of them.

Even a little child understood that not everyone who displayed an angel's smile was necessarily anangel.

Meanwhile, Ouyang Qing thought that her showing up would bring some cheer to the two childrenHowever, that did not appear to be true.

Not only that, but the disappointment also reflected in Erbao's eyes was obvious.

The palpable disappointment shown by them was like a pail of cold water pouring down on OuyangQing. Her angelic smile tightened a little, trying to hide her annoyance.

She did not give up outright and still tried to cheer them up. “Your Mommy has gone on a lastminute business trip. She asked me to come to pick you both up.”

Dabao and Erbao exchanged a suspicious look between each other as both wondered the samethought. Since when Mommy and you are so close that she would entrust you to pick us up? Whydoes it sound more and more unconvincing?

“I want to give Mommy a call,” said Erbao as she took out her little kiddy mobile phone.

“Darling, there's no need. Your Mommy is busy. She's currently recording a show.” Having said that,Ouyang Qing continued to explain, “The show recording is the kind where there'll be lots ofcameras zooming on your Mommy, hence she can't be disturbed in any way. Do you understand?”Ouyang Qing stopped herself hurriedly before she blabbered more.

Dabao winked at Erbao. Since Ouyang Qing had come to pick them up, he was sure she was notlying. There was no need to press the issue further.

Having always listened to her older brother, Erbao understood his wink. Since her brother hinted toher not to call, she would not insist on calling.

In order to please the two kids, Ouyang Qing took both of them to their favorite children’srestaurant.

As an unmarried woman, she felt no stress babysitting the two children. Since both of them werevery sensible and mature beyond their years, her task was seemingly simpler as well.

Even if Erbao had the habit of disappearing occasionally, as long as she waited in the same spot, theformer would soon appear again.

It was as if Erbao had a daily-updating navigation system embedded in her head. So she neverseemed to get lost.

Erbao was originally in a bad mood. Served with good food, she slowly became jovial once more.After all, they were mere children. Their moods might be temperamentally tempestuous, but theywere quick to forgive and forget.

Ouyang Qing motioned to the security who was standing guard outside the door to come in. Shehanded her phone to him and said, “Help us snap a few pictures together.”

She moved and stood behind Dabao and Erbao. Putting her arms around each of them, she posedfor a photo with an angelic smile once more on her face.

The two kids were reluctant, but out of courtesy, they had to cooperate with her.

Interestingly, neither Dabao nor Erbao smiled. Dabao was even more expressionless than his sister.He put on a stoic look on the spot — basically a mini version of Nan Chen's usual look.

With the photos taken, Ouyang Qing quickly opened a beauty filter app to retouch each photo,With her fair look, she actually looked good even without the need for a beauty filter. She, however,was not satisfied, for she loved to cultivate a more delicate look — the more angelic appearance.After the meal, Ouyang Qing brought them to the movies, before sending both of them back to theNan family.

The two kids had not been to the Commoner Residence for a few days, and old Nan Zhengde hadlonged to meet the two children.

After seeing Ouyang Qing brought the two children back, he was overjoyed.

"Ah, my two darlings! Welcome home!” Old Nan Zhengde greeted and motioned both of them tocome to him.

The two darlings rushed over to him obediently and rested on his lap.

"Have both of you eaten? If not, what do you like to eat?" he asked.

“We've taken our fill, thank you! Miss Qing brought us for a delicious meal just now,” Erbao replied.“Miss Qing? Naw, you all should be calling her “Aunt Qing’. Be respectful in the future, okay?” NanZhengde rebuked them gently.

“It's okay, sir. They're just children. They can call me anything. I don't really mind,” Ouyang Qinggraciously responded.

Erbao was perturbed. What do you mean by “don’t really mind’? You are the one who asked us toaddress you casually, aren't you? And now you're saying you don't mind?

Dabao and Erbao exchanged glances between them once again. Dabao hinted to his sister not tosay anything anymore.

In her little mind, Erbao felt that adults were quite devious. They could say one thing and mean theother. They switched colors easily to suit their environment, just like a chameleon.

They did not allow kids to sprout nonsenses, but they themselves were full of nonsense.“Remember, don't call her Miss Qing anymore. Refer to her as “Aunt Qing’, okay? Also, have youthanked her for taking you out for a meal?” asked Nan Zhengde.

“Thank you!” Dabao and Erbao recited together obediently.

“It's okay, sir. They don’t have to thank me. I like these two to bits and just by being with them, I feelreally happy. They feel like a family to me,” explained Ouyang Qing enthusiastically.

She deliberately emphasized the word “family”. Naturally, it served her very own purpose.

Her intention was clear. She wanted to show the world that the children and she were close to oneanother.

“Thank you for your troubles. How is your father? It's been a long while since he last dropped by fora tea with me,” old Nan Zhengde enquired with concern.

“Dad has been really busy with work lately. However, he often thinks of you, lamenting his lack ofcapability and praising your great wisdom. He keeps saying that he will be satisfied even if hepossesses only a tenth of your savvy acumen.”

The old man smiled at the skillful flattery. Ouyang Duo’s daughter was indeed no ordinary person.There was something more to her than met the eyes.

"Your father is someone very capable, more so than me. He's just being polite,” said old NanZhengde laughingly.

"Sir, you're too humble. You're a respected master in the business world. We all need to learn fromyou. After all, it is due to a great mentor like you that Chen is who he is today.”

She was certainly tactful with her words. Not only had she sweet-talked old Nan Zhengde, but shehad praised Nan Chen in the same breath as well.

She knew that Nan Zhengde loved Nan Chen the most amongst all his grandchildren. Therefore shepraised Nan Chen's performance in the business circle, then acknowledged his excellentachievement was the result of Nan Zhengde's good guidance. Such skillful compliment killed twobirds with one stone.

The old man was happy to hear such praise. Even though her flattery was quite obvious, thosepraises sounded pleasing to his ears, for he loved it when others complimented him.

After all, there was no one in the world who did not like to be flattered.

Old Nan Zhengde chuckled pleasantly, “Such a sweet tongue you have. Child, I'm not as good asyour compliment.”

The old man started musing about his grandson. Chen is not bad actually. He possesses thenecessary talents. Coupled with his own hard work, his performance thus far has been satisfying."Sir, you're too humble. Although I am young, I've heard of your exploits and achievements whenyou're young.”

She continued to elaborate, “You've fought many battles in the business world. My dad has alwaystalked about them, saying all those feats should be written into textbooks so as to educate theyounger generation.”

Suddenly she sighed, “It's a pity that I'm a girl, otherwise I would like to consult you for businessadvice. I will surely benefit and learn a lot from your experience.”

Those words made the old man even happier, “You flatter me too much. You don't have to learnfrom me. Just go learn from your father. He is a very skilled man in his own right.”

As their conversations continued, Erbao was losing her patience and spoke up sulkily, “Great-Grandpa, you adults are too long-winded. Both Dabao and I are bored. Can we go play first?”

"Yes, I want to go read a book.” Dabao quickly chimed in, for he too was feeling bored by the longchats.

"Hahaha. Growing impatient, aye?” Old Nan Zhengde guffawed and said, “Don't just go off like that.Stay a while and keep your Great-Grandpa company. I have not seen you both for days. I miss youall.”

“Then what does Great-Grandpa want to chat about? We'll keep you company,” Erbao sweetly said.Ouyang Qing was chatting away with the old man happily before the interruption. She was takingthe opportunity to win his favor, but she did not expect the two children to disrupt the conversationand changed the topic. For that, she was deeply irked. However, there was nothing she could do.

If only she had known that Erbao and Dabao were doing the disruption deliberately, she woulddefinitely be even more peeved.
