My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Nan Chen had piqued Ning Ran’s curiosity, and she was unable to wait till tomorrow to hear more about it.

She got up and followed after him as he walked into his bedroom.

“Come on, just tell me! What benefit would they have reaped? What advantage would they have gained? If you tell me, I’ll understand immediately! I’m not stupid…”

Ning Ran entered the room to find Nan Chen already lying in bed.

She felt rather dazed. Why the hell am I following him into the bedroom?

Is this one of his tricks again?

“Do you really want to know? Lie down, then. I’ll tell you slowly.” Nan Chen patted the empty space next to him on the bed.

Ning Ran stumbled backwards. “No, thanks!”

“See how fickle you are! Haven’t we slept together before? If you lie down, I promise to tell you,” Nan Chen said.

“I—” Ning Ran hesitated a little.

“The bed in your room is nowhere as comfortable as this one. Come on, lie down,” Nan Chen continued to coax her.

“No, it’s fine. I think I’d better return to my room.”

Ning Ran turned around to leave, but Nan Chen sat up in bed and grabbed hold of her. As he hugged her tightly to his chest, he said, “Just lie down!”

Ning Ran hadn’t expected this. Her mind went blank and her heart started to race.

Ning Ran hated how weak she was being. Every time Nan Chen hugged her, her heart would start beating like that of a young girl’s. Whenever that happened, she couldn’t help but feel a little scornful of herself.

Slowly, her heart calmed down. Ning Ran stopped struggling in his arms and lay her head against Nan Chen’s chest. “Fine, can you tell me now? Why did they want me to frame you?”

Nan Chen felt a little annoyed. Why is she still pestering me about this instead of enjoying this moment with me? What an unromantic woman.

“I’ve already told you. Some of the companies under Nanshi Corporation are overseas companies. These companies can be short-sold. Do you know what short-selling means?”

Ning Ran replied, “Yes, I do.”

Nan Chen sounded surprised. “You do?”

“Excuse me, I’ve been to university, and I majored in finance, you know! Back then, my mom was preparing me to take over the company. However, she got into an accident soon after,” Ning Ran said.

“Yes, you’ve been to university, but you never graduated from it,” Nan Chen retorted.

“Doesn’t matter, I still understand a lot of things related to finance. Short-selling means speculating that stock prices are going to fall, while the opposite means speculating that stock prices will rise,” Ning Ran replied.
