My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

After Ning Ziqiang departed the snooker bar in high spirits, Ning Ran walked behind the partition.

Nan Chen was bent over at the waist as he lined up his shot.

Admiring the curves of his bottom, she was tempted to say, “Nice ass.” Thankfully, she caught herself in time and mentally berated herself for being so uncouth.

“Why did you take over that mess of a company?” she asked instead.

“Because of you.”

His reply was simple and straight to the point. There was no room for misunderstanding his meaning.

Taken aback, she had to admit that sounded rather reasonable. Yet she could not help feeling like there was something wrong.

“You’re a brilliant businessman. Why would you do something that doesn’t profit you? You’re not trying to add this onto my debt, are you?”

“Thanks for the compliment.” He hit another ball and it flew into the pocket.

“When did I compliment you?” she questioned, flabbergasted.

“You said I was a brilliant businessman.”

“Err, okay… I guess that counts as praise?”

“It does.”

“Then could you tell me why you did it?”

“Because of you,” he repeated.

That’s why some other companies will be investing as well. In other words, with all these other investors, this new movie of yours will have a total budget of one billion at least. This is only the upfront investment. More funds will be added later on if this proves to be insufficient. Since this will be
