My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 742 Boasting

When Nan Chen returned to Mountview Inn, Dabao and Erbao had already fallen asleep. Ning Ran, on the other hand, was still awake and watching a television show.

At the same time, she was whispering under her breath as though she was memorizing the script.

It was a habit of hers to memorize the script. That way, once the filming started, she would be able to perform confidently instead of fumbling with her lines.

Regardless of the industry, people who performed excellently tended to pour greater efforts into their work compared to ordinary folks, even if they were talented. Standing behind Ning Ran, Nan Chen found her hardworking look rather amusing.

She was so focused on her task that she failed to notice he had already returned. Hence, when she turned her head back abruptly, she was spooked by his presence and exclaimed, “What are you doing? You scared me! Are you a ghost? Why didn’t I hear your footsteps?”

Sitting across from her, Nan Chen pointed at her script. “Have you memorized it?”

“Almost. What did Huang Zichao say?” Ning Ran placed the script down. “He impregnated one of his ex-girlfriends. Ding Fei found out and used it to control him.” “Eh? Huang Zichao did that? How is that possible?”

That upset Nan Chen. Is Huang Zichao a saint? Why is it impossible? Nan Chen realized she had misspoken when she saw his frown. “That’s not what I meant. I just think he looks like a pretty good guy. I didn’t expect—”

Her attempt at explaining herself only flamed his blaze of fury. “What’s so good about him?”

Ning Ran was stumped by his question. Well, that’s because Huang Zichao’s an award-winning actor whose acting is exceptional. He’s handsome, elegant, and gentlemanly. All those qualities can be categorized as ‘good.’ Of course, I can’t answer him like that unless I want to blow Sir Chen’s top off. D*mmit, why do I remember so many of Huang Zichao’s good points? Am I mesmerized by him?

With considerable effort, she tried clarifying her statement again, “It was just a little surprising, that’s all. I’m not familiar with him, nor do I know what kind of person he is. The surface-level impression he gave me was all I knew of him. Now that I think about it, I guess it’s not that odd.”

on Huang Zichao, he’s compelled to listen to her. Ding Fei wanted him to destroy your reputation, but he was too concerned about the risk to execute the plan. Well, technically, he

something to do with your assault on the production team. I wasn’t certain because it seemed unlikely to me that an actor would hire an assassin to kill another actor. The risk is too huge to be worth the effort. Moreover, you had no idea who Ding Fei was. Therefore, I concluded it’s implausible that she has a deep-seated hatred against you to the point that she wants to take your life. However, in light of recent discoveries, it seems my conclusion was wrong. Perhaps she does resent you enough to want to wipe you off the face of this planet. In any case, no ordinary citizen can unearth what happened in Huang Zichao’s past,
