My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

“Slapping her is something you did out of your own accord. The company has no reason to take responsibility.”

Nan Chen’s words rendered Ning Ran speechless.

She gaped at him in astonishment, wondering why he went back on his word. This is not what you said earlier on!

Nan Chen caught her questioning look, but he was unperturbed. Rather, he picked up his phone again from his pocket and sat back without any explanation.

It might be completely normal for people to be engrossed in their phones—but that was not the case for Nan Chen.

He did not usually spend a lot of time on his phone, and he never once concerned himself with all the juicy gossips online.

But he was not himself today. Time and time again, Ning Ran caught him checking his phone every few minutes. It was like he could not take his eyes off it.

This made Ning Ran even more disturbed. A frown etched on her well-defined brows as she stole another resentful look at Nan Chen. He must be texting some woman.

Why not just make yourself scarce and go meet her in person?

What’s the point of hoarding space here if you’re not interested in talking?

Ning Ran could not take it anymore. “Are you that busy?” she snapped.

As usual, Nan Chen looked up without a word and continued whatever he was doing.

Ning Ran was infuriated. She wanted to go over and snatched his phone away. Her impulse was telling her to just throw his phone out of the window.

But she did not have the guts to do that. She was afraid of Nan Chen.

Yet it was not long before Ning Ran brightened up. Delicious food was served and her mouth watered looking at all the dishes.

Who cares about men? Food never betrays you!

Why should I even bother myself with an unruly man like him?

Little did she know, Nan Chen had been observing her from the corner of his eyes. Confusion glimmered in his eyes when he spotted Ning Ran’s erratic change of mood when she saw the food. Gosh, she’s so unpredictable.

It was not until he saw Ning Ran reached for the food that he finally made a sound. “Did you wash your hands?”

Ning Ran cocked her head and looked up in surprise. “I did,” she said curtly. True, the tasty food appeased her, but that did not mean she was happy with his attitude.

“But you touched something else after you washed your hands, didn’t you? Go wash them again,” Nan Chen said.

“You do it yourself. I’m digging in,” Ning Ran protested.
