My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 1048 You Have Me

Ning Ran glanced at Nan Chen.

Nan Chen gave her a reassuring look.

“Grandpa, we'll discuss this matter. Don't worry,” he said.

“The Nan family hasn't held a grand celebration in many years, so if you two get married, we should make the ceremony splendid,” Feng Wan chimed in.

It seemed that the elderly couple were very determined for Nan Chen and Ning Ran to get married. Moreover, they even appeared to want the planning to start at once.

That was indeed beyond the expectations of Ning Ran and Nan Chen.

Then, to their surprise, Nan Zhengde and Feng Wan began talking about the kind of wedding ceremony to be organized.

In fact, Nan Chen had previously commissioned several wedding plans from a wedding company for Ning Ran to choose from, but she felt it was too rushed and didn't agree to make the choice.

At that time, she was worried about the resistance from the Nan family, but now Feng Wan and Nan Zhengde had unexpectedly taken the initiative to propose the wedding plans.

For a brief moment, Ning Ran actually wanted to agree, but her rationality reminded her that some things shouldn't be done impulsively.

“Let's discuss this matter again,” Nan Chen said.

Sensing the lack of enthusiasm from the couple, Nan Zhengde and Feng Wan didn't speak further.

The elderly couple wondered if Nan Chen and Ning Ran were facing relationship issues and only pretending to be in love in front of them.

After breakfast and some chit-chat, Nan Chen had to return to the company to attend to his work.

On the way back, Nan Chen and Ning Ran remained silent, each absorbed in their own thoughts.

Usually, when the atmosphere was hushed, Ning Ran would break the silence.

However, things were different that time as she didn't make a sound the whole time.

Finally, Nan Chen couldn't endure the quietness further and asked, “What are you thinking about?”

“I was thinking if I should tell your grandparents about my relationship with the Rong family,” she replied.

“What's your relationship with the Rong family? he asked.

Ning Ran was taken aback. “Don't you already know?”

“I do, but you have no relationship with their family. They don't need you, and you don't have to rely on them either. It's sufficient that you have me.”

Nan Chen rarely uttered such words, but he said it out loud so naturally that time, which was unexpected to Ning Ran.

She fathomed his intention. He wanted to hide her background from his grandparents for the time being and proceed with the marriage first. Then, they could slowly deal with that issue later.

Ning Ran indeed didn't have any connection with the Rong family since childhood, and they had never even crossed paths.

It was only later, after she met Rong Yi and Rong Rong, that they became ordinary friends. She didn't have any special ties with anyone from the Rong family.

Therefore, Ning Ran wasn't obligated to bear the Nan and Rong families' grudges.

“We can't hide this matter because we don't know what the grudges between the Rong and Nan families are. What if it's an irreconcilable feud? In that case, once my identity is exposed, I'll become an outsider in the Nan family. Moreover, you'll be held accountable because of me. I can't do that.”

That had always been Ning Ran's stance. I don't ever want to weigh Nan Chen down with my identity. Besides, I'm not a teenage girl who can disregard everything for love. I'm the mother of two children, so I can't only consider my well-being when making decisions. If our marriage ends in tragedy, not only will we be unhappy, but it may also affect our children. How can I bring myself to do something as selfish as this?

“Let's do this, then. I'll find a chance to clarify the grudges between our elders. I believe there is no hatred in this world that can't be resolved. As long as we're willing to put in the effort, we can definitely work it out,” Nan Chen suggested.

“Okay,” Ning Ran finally agreed.

Upon reaching Nan Chen's headquarters, Ning Ran didn't go up.

She had a high-end fashion brand commercial to shoot that day.

Judy was the brand's ambassador for the western region, while Ning Ran was their ambassador in the east. Hence, her position was already considered highly prestigious.

“Consider what I've said. We can't keep dragging this out endlessly,” Nan Chen said.

“All right,” she agreed.

When Nan Chen entered his office, he found Nan Xing playing mobile games on the couch. He came here so early in the morning to play mobile games instead of doing work? His behavior will negatively affect our company's work ethic if the other employees see him like this.

“Chen, I want to request a transfer.” Nan Xing put down his phone.

Nan Chen frowned. “Back to Alendor?”

“No way. I didn't do anything wrong. Why should I be banished again!” Nan Xing exclaimed.

“What position are you seeking to transfer to, then?” Nan Chen asked.

“I want to move to the real estate department.”

“You're currently the group's deputy CEO, a position much higher than the head of the business division. Do you want to downgrade your post voluntarily?”

“There's no need to downgrade my position. You can let me be in charge of the real estate department directly,” Nan Xing said.

“But you've never handled job scopes related to the business division. That's not your strong suit, and there are many specifics you won't be able to manage.”

“I can always learn!”

Nan Chen gazed at his younger brother in silence, guessing why the latter was requesting the transfer.

Suddenly, clarity washed over him. It's because of a woman.

“Did Lu Jingyuan get to you again?” Nan Chen asked.

Nan Xing got all worked up at once. “What are you saying, Chen? No one can ever get to me. It's always the other way around, all right?”

Naturally, Nan Chen was not convinced.

He and Nan Xing were twins. Therefore, Nan Chen had a clear understanding of what kind of person his younger brother was as they grew up together.

“You failed to make Lu Jingyuan yield, and she's been bullying you, so you're requesting the transfer to become her direct supervisor. That way, she'll have to submit to you at work. You want to misuse your power at the company for personal reasons. Is that right?” Nan Chen uttered coldly.

Nan Xing wailed, “Chen, do you have to put it so bluntly? I'm your biological brother. Does it not hurt your heart when you hurt mine?”

Nan Chen shook his head solemnly. “No.”

“Chen, you have a beautiful wife and children. Your children can even publish posts on Weibo already. I'm just a few minutes younger than you, yet I don't even have a proper girlfriend! Don't you care that I might end up alone? Can you really bear to see that?” Nan Xing cried out.

Nan Chen frowned deeper. “Don't you have a lot of girlfriends? Don't you go out with a few different women every month?”

“They weren't my girlfriends. They could, at most, qualify as my playmates, okay? I don't like them at all. Otherwise, why would I break up with them within a month instead of getting into a long-term relationship? Now I finally have someone I like, but she's aloof and always ignores me. What else can I

do? The last advantage I have is this bit of authority as her superior. Chen, please help your poor little brother out and transfer me.”

Nan Chen felt utterly helpless, taking in the sight of his younger brother's face covered in tears and snot.

“Fine, but a transfer of someone at your level needs approval from the board of directors. I can't make the decision alone. Let's do this. We'll not proceed with the paperwork for now. You go and supervise the work in the real estate department for a week. If you adapt well and see the need to stay, we'll consider the next step,” Nan Chen replied.

“Great. I'll make sure that woman submits to me completely within a week!” Nan Xing vowed.
