My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Nan Chen’s favorite team made a goal, and he was so excited that he leaped out of his seat.

For some reason, he was in a very excited state tonight. Some part in him wondered if it had anything to do with the fact that woman had returned.

Just then, Ning Ran came running out of the kitchen. Seeing the exhilarated look on his face, she felt a little shocked.

Nan Chen was very rarely so excited. Ning Ran stood behind him and stared at the screen to watch the replay of the goal, wondering what had made him so happy.

Afterward, she turned to stare at him.

Nan Chen asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“I came out to ask you something, but I forgot what my question was,” Ning Ran said helplessly.

“What are you going to do about it?”

“I’ll try and recall… Hmm, what was it?”

“Oh, don’t bother. You’re an idiot, so you probably won’t be able to recall it. Just go and make the noodles.” Nan Chen said condescendingly.

A look of realization dawned on Ning Ran’s face. She let out a loud yelp and said, “I remember it now! I wanted to ask you whether you prefer your noodles with fried eggs and tomatoes or green vegetables.”

Nan Chen had thought she wanted to ask something important, but her question turned out to be something as inconsequential as this.

“Both are fine! Can you hurry up? It’s practically time for breakfast by now.”

Ning Ran turned to look at the clock on the wall. It was already one o ‘clock in the morning. He’s right. It’s almost time for breakfast.

“Forget it. Let’s not have noodles then. I’ll just get apples for the both of us.”

Ning Ran ran back into the kitchen and turned off the stove. She grabbed two apples from the fridge and walked out to the living room, munching on one of them.

She passed one to Nan Chen. However, he looked down at his hands—he wasn’t going to eat without washing his hands first.

Ning Ran ran back into the kitchen and grabbed a wet towel for Nan Chen to wipe his hands with.

Nan Chen’s eyes were fixed on the television screen. He stretched his hands out towards her, indicating that Ning Ran should wipe his hands for him.

Ning Ran had no choice. She agreed and started wiping his hands for him.

After a few wipes, Ning Ran felt that his hands were clean enough. However, Nan Chen ordered her to continue.
