Celebrity Girl Is My Wife

Ning Ran tried her best to keep a composed exterior, pretending to be deaf. Nevertheless, she was actually seething inside.

After the call ended, Nan Chen returned to his tasks at hand. He stayed focused and worked diligently until he could finish his tasks and clock out for the day.

He had reserved a table for them at a Ferropenian restaurant.

Ning Ran preferred hotpot, but since Nan Chen had already made the reservation for their dinner, she chose not to say anything and decided to go along with his decision.

Nan Chen had previously suggested that they should take the children to higher-class restaurants more frequently to help widen their worldviews and develop their characters.

Being a part of the Nan family meant that the children could no longer simply frequent kids' cafes and hotpot restaurants.

Nan Chen thought that Ning Ran should go to hotpot restaurants on her own if she had a craving for it. There was no need for her to expose the kids to rowdy environments.

He preferred if Erbao could broaden her horizons. Money should never be a constraint when it comes to educating a girl. He was determined to ensure she did not remain unrefined and uncultured.

Nan Chen ordered four set meals, two for the children and two for the adults. He also ordered a bottle of wine to accompany the meal.

Their dishes were being served when Nan Chen's phone rang.

He retrieved it and walked aside to answer the call.

Ning Ran paid attention to his conversation and seemed to hear the name “Zhiyi” again.

However, she remained calm. Zhiyi is something else, huh? She must have a special connection with Nan Chen to be able to call his private number, one that is typically only used by family members.

Nan Chen soon returned to his seat and placed his phone aside. He then left to wash his hands and sat down. Right when he was about to enjoy his meal, his phone rang again.

It was Zhiyi again.

Nan Chen grabbed his phone and went aside to answer the call.

After the call ended, he went to wash his hands again. He had already begun to cut into his steak when his phone suddenly rang again.

Ning Ran could no longer contain her thoughts and spoke out. “Perhaps you should take care of your business first before eating. It's going to get cold.”

Nan Chen's hand froze midair before he could reach for his phone. An awkward expression crossed his face.

Both Dabao and Erbao stopped eating, their gazes darting between Ning Ran and Nan Chen.

“It's about work,” Nan Chen said sheepishly.

“I know it's work. That was why I said you should take care of your business.” Ning Ran softened her voice as it occurred to her that she had spoken impulsively.

“Forget it. I'm not taking any more calls. Let's eat!”

To Ning Ran's surprise, Nan Chen didn't lose his temper. He was playing along with her as the kids were present.

“Mommy, don't be mad,” Erbao said timidly.

The children were fearful at the prospect of their parents getting into a fight, as they would feel completely powerless in the situation.

“I'm not mad. I just feel guilty that Daddy has to take out time to have dinner with us despite his hectic schedule,” Ning Ran explained.

Her words were obviously a lie. Nan Chen frowned but didn't say anything.

Erbao was oblivious, but Dabao could sense that his mother was unhappy.

He knew it was related to the calls his father had answered.

After Nan Chen took a few bites, his phone rang again.

This time, he hesitated visibly.

“You should answer it since it's about work. I'm fine with it,” Ning Ran said.

She wasn't saying that to spite him. Instead, she regretted her impulsive words from earlier and wanted him to answer the call.

“Okay. Let me take this.”

Nan Chen took his phone and walked away. The call lasted for around ten minutes.

After the call ended, he slowly turned around and shot his family an apologetic look. “It was something related to work, I swear.”
