Celebrity Girl Is My Wife

Dabao and Erbao spent their first weekend of the semester break at the villa in Red Maple City. It was also the first weekend where Ning Ran could be at peace.

Nan Chen canceled all his plans and decided to spend the whole weekend with his family. First, they would watch a movie, then they would go shopping, and they'd end it with a homemade dinner.

Ning Ran and the kids were craving some hotpot, and they wanted to make it themselves this time at home.

Nan Chen had a rocky relationship with hotpots, but he could accept it as long as Ning Ran and the kids liked it. He was bored by all the upscale restaurants. They were no match for a meal at home since that was where his family was.

After they came back home, Nan Chen looked at the goods they had bought, and he announced solemnly, “I will be making dinner tonight.”

Everyone was quiet. Dabao and Erbao looked at each other while Ning Ran sorted the groceries out in silence.

It wasn't the first time Nan Chen had tried to cook, but he had never succeeded even once. The food he cooked was nearly inedible, let alone delicious. Because of that, everyone was worried that the food might turn out bad.

They bought a lot of fresh ingredients that were perfect for hotpots. Everyone thought they'd have a nice dinner, but now that Nan Chen wanted to prepare it, they were worried that they might end up having food delivery again.

Nan Chen could feel their rejection, and he was crestfallen. I just want to cook. Is it that hard? “Are you worried I might mess it up? Hey, I watched a lot of cooking videos, you know. I'm decent now.”

Nan Chen wanted to convince them that he could cook.

Ning Ran smiled. “You've been hard at work. Let me do the cooking. You don't have to do it.”

Dabao and Erbao nodded quickly. “Yeah, yeah!”

Nan Chen looked at Ning Ran, then at his kids. “Do you guys think I'm a lousy cook? You guys don't believe me?”

Ning Ran forced a smile. “No. We just don't want you to overwork yourself.”

The kids nodded quickly again and gave their father a worried look. “Yeah!”
