My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

But it did not matter that the conversation could not go on. What mattered was Nan Chen was only giving Ning Ran a scare.

Turned out he was not really absent. He was only trying to remind Ning Ran to not offend him or else he would make her life miserable.

In the end, Ning Ran attended the meeting feeling like she didn’t belong. She wanted to escape from the awkward situation but Nan Chen would not let her go.

Nevertheless, she was lucky enough to grab the seat beside Nan Chen before Ouyang Qing did. After all, of all the people present, she only knew Nan Chen.

In fact, it was not only gawky for Ning Ran, but it was the same for everyone else.

All of them had come with an ulterior motive or intention. They were, in reality, very distant but they put on their merry facade and kept the show going.

“Chen, it must have been hard for you all these years but you’ve done a fantastic job, and we’re very proud of you.” Nan Zhiyuan praised Nan Chen in a fatherly tone.

“I’m just doing what I should,” answered Nan Chen placidly.

Nan Chen had no need for Nan Zhiyuan’s recognition. After all, as a disgrace of the Nan family, he had no right to comment on Nan Chen.

But Nan Chen did not retort him. Besides, it was not necessary either.

It was enough for everyone to retain mutual respect since they would not meet one another on a daily basis.

Ouyang Qing had ordered red wine but Nan Chen refrained from drinking it because he still had other matters to deal with after the meeting.

The same goes for Ning Ran. As such, Ouyang Qing ordered a glass of iced juice for her.

“She’s on her period so she can’t have ice,” Nan Chen said.

Upon hearing his words, everyone turned silent.

Ning Ran’s face flushed red immediately, spreading from her face all the way down to her neck.

What the hell just happened? Who would ever speak like that?

Did you forget that there are elders around, and a male elder at that.

Luckily, Nan Zhiyuan did not hear him and he asked Bai Hua who was sitting next to him, “What did Chen say?”

Smiling wryly, Bai Hua replied, “Oh, he said she’s not feeling well and can’t have a cold drink.”

“I see, let’s replace it with a hot drink then.”

Meanwhile, when Nan Chen saw that Ning Ran was blushing, he felt that it was rather odd.
