Celebrity Girl Is My Wife

By the time Ning Ran returned to Flower City from the county, it was already ten at night.

Surprisingly, Dabao and Erbao had yet to sleep. Both of them were too excited to go to bed after hearing that their mother was coming back that day.

Just as Ning Ran reached the entrance and alighted from the car, the face-recognition software by the door activated and opened the door for her. At the same time, the software made an announcement, informing the people in the house. “Mommy's back.” Mommy's back!

Erbao was the first to rush over to Ning Ran as she said in a sing-song voice, “Mommy!”

Initially, Ning Ran was preoccupied with everything that happened earlier in the day, but upon hearing Erbao's voice, she found the weight on her shoulders lifted.

“Darling!” Ning Ran exclaimed in the same sing-song manner as Erbao.

The girl giggled. “Mommy, why are you so late? We were waiting to have dinner with you!”

“You haven't had your dinner yet? It's so late! Eating now would be like eating supper.”

Ning Ran found out that the dishes were still untouched on the table. The high-tech table came with a heating function, so the food was still warm.

Upon hearing the commotion, Nan Chen stepped out of the study room and remarked, “You're late.”

“Yeah, I am. You guys should have eaten dinner first. You didn't need to wait for me,” Ning Ran apologetically said.

“The kids wanted to wait for you, and they wouldn't let me start eating. How can I not listen to them?” Nan Chen mumbled aggrievedly.

Oh? There are actually times when Sir Chen himself can't take charge of the situation? How unusual.

Ning Ran then pretended to angrily chide the children, “You guys can't do this in the future. Don't starve Daddy, okay?”

Playing along, the children promptly answered, “Got it! If Daddy gets hungry next time, we'll let him eat first, but we'll wait until Mommy's back before we eat.”

Nan Chen was taken aback by their words. Wait, what are they talking about? They make it sound like I'm some kind of insensible kid. I can't believe they're ridiculing me passive-aggressively when they're still so young!

“I didn't say I had to eat first... You can't describe the situation like this,” mumbled Nan Chen pitifully.
