My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

The car rolled to a stop at the entrance of the sauna.

Nan Chen thought deeply for a moment before raising his arm and gesturing for the driver to continue driving.

It was pretty late at night, and he didn’t want them to remain here any longer than was necessary. He decided to make the woman wait until they got home to wash up.

They drove back to the villa at Red Maple City. Ning Ran got out of the car and breathed a long sigh of relief as she looked at the familiar house in front of her. At least she made it back here alive.

“The kids are at Commoner Residence, not here. Go and wash up quickly.”

“Shouldn’t there be some sort of ceremony?” Ning Ran asked suddenly.

Nan Chen looked at her in confusion. “What ceremony? Do you want me to call up a bunch of people and have them scream praises at the gates as they welcome you back?”

“No, thanks. When I was a kid, however, my family used to set off fireworks whenever one of my relatives got back from jail. I heard it helped to ward off bad luck. If I go in just like that, won’t I be filling up the house with all sorts of bad luck?”

Nan Chen didn’t say anything.

Ning Ran said despondently, “I think I’d better not step into the house.”

“You didn’t go to jail, and you have no bad luck to speak of. What are you even talking about?” Nan Chen asked coldly.

“Well, you didn’t say anything! I thought you minded. I don’t want to cause you any inconvenience.” Ning Ran said.

“I’m okay with you causing me inconvenience…” Nan Chen mumbled.

“What was that?”

“Oh my God, would you stop talking? It’s so cold out here—are you trying to get a cold or something? Besides, you stink. Go and take a shower and change out of these clothes!” Nan Chen said, suddenly impatient.

Ning Ran brought her arm to her nose and took a deep sniff. She thought she didn’t stink that much.

“Fine. Should I go in now?”

“If you don’t want to, that’s fine by me. You can freeze to death out here by yourself. I’m going in.”

As soon as Nan Chen finished speaking, he turned around and stalked into the house.

Ning Ran chased after him. “Of course I’m coming in! It’s freezing outside.”
