Celebrity Girl Is My Wife

Nan Chen thought that they looked similar. Regarding this matter, he didn't have any comments.

After all, there would be people who look alike in the world. These doppelgangers might not be related at all, but

they shared one thing in common—their appearances.

Hence, Nan Chen did not think it was something worth dwelling on. Looking similar to someone else did not mean

anything.

Moreover, they merely had some semblance, but not to the extent of looking like him and his two children. If that

happened, then he would have to investigate it.

Noticing Nan Chen's lack of a reaction, Ning Ran couldn't decide whether she was happy or disappointed.

She wasn't sure what kind of reaction she wanted from Nan Chen.

There is nothing between Nan Chen and Ms. Lu. Isn't that okay?

However, she couldn't let her guard down because she worried they were both pretending.

Nevertheless, these two did not look like someone who would lie, so she couldn't completely wrap her head around

it.

After that incident with the children, the atmosphere between them was somewhat affected.

From the start, Nan Chen was taciturn, and this was the same for Lu Jingyuan. So if Ning Ran did not say anything

soon, the somewhat awkward atmosphere at the dinner would fall to freezing point.

“Um... Ms. Lu, is the food to your liking?” Ning Ran started to make conversation.

“It's good. I like it,” Lu Jingyuan said smilingly.

“Oh, when Nan Chen and I talked about what happened yesterday, he was very impressed with you,” Ning Ran said.

Nan Chen shot a glance at Ning Ran. When did I say that? You're the one who's impressed, not me. What nonsense

are you spouting? What's so impressive about chasing away some thugs?

After those words left her mouth, Ning Ran instantly knew Nan Chen wouldn't like it, but one couldn't take back what

had been said, so she left it as it was.

“Oh, it's nothing to brag about,” Lu Jingyuan calmly replied.

“You must know someone important, right? That's why you could use those methods and chase the thugs away,”

Ning Ran asked.

Nan Chen lightly coughed, signaling Ning Ran to stop with the stupid questions. Otherwise, it would be too

embarrassing.

If Lu Jingyuan did not know any important people, how would she be able to do that?

Therefore, that was a stupid question.

Ning Ran knew it was a foolish question, but she had nothing else to say. She needed a topic to start a conversation.

If not, everyone would stay silent, which was unacceptable to her.

“I do know some people who could help me. The reason I can live here in Livingsfill alone is that I have a lot of help

and support from my friends. Actually, a friend helped me yesterday, and he's a capable person. To him, dealing

with something of that scale is a simple matter. As for me, I'm just your average person, relying on other people's

help to survive,” Lu Jingyuan said.

Ning Ran nodded. “No, you're good enough already. We'll be in your care while we're in Livingsfill.”

“Oh, you're being too polite. We are just helping each other.”

Although the topics Ning Ran used were cringy, she managed to lighten up the atmosphere of the room.

In this considerably relaxed environment, they finished their dinner.

Children were quick to forgive and forget, so after dinner ended, they reconciled.

Even the ever-cold Lu Yunbing passionately introduced her favorite animated shows to Dabao. They had what one

would call a friendship that grew out of fighting each other.

Just as Ning Ran thought the meeting would end on a happy note, Lu Jingyuan made a shocking request.

“May I talk privately with Mr. Nan?”

If this request was made by someone else, Ning Ran wouldn't think much of it and would agree in a heartbeat.

After all, it was only talking, and she shouldn't be too controlling.

However, the one who made the request was Lu Jingyuan. Instantly, Ning Ran was uneasy.

She originally had her suspicions about those two. However, when Lu Jingyuan made that request, Ning Ran felt like

she was going to have an emotional breakdown.

Nevertheless, she stopped herself. It was not her business if they had a history together. Besides, she felt that she

could enjoy her life better this way.

“Are you not okay with it?” Lu Jingyuan asked Ning Ran, who seemed dazed.

Ning Ran smiled awkwardly. “Why would I do that? I'm in no position to stop you. Then, I'll be with the kids. Take

your time.”

Although she smiled, disappointment could be seen in her eyes.

Yet, Nan Chen remained silent, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Ning Ran brought the children to the other side of the room and played with them while Lu Jingyuan started

speaking to Nan Chen. “Mr. Nan, have we met before?”

Nan Chen shook his head. “I'm not sure, Ms. Lu. Why do you ask?”

“When I first saw you, Mr. Nan, I thought you were familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen your face

before,” Lu Jingyuan seriously said.

“I have stayed in Flower City for a long time, but I have studied in Epea and Anglandur before, so we may have met

during that time. However, it's unlikely we have met in recent years because I have no recollection of seeing your

face,” Nan Chen replied.

He was not speaking nonsense. After all, Nan Chen had a good memory.

He could call out most of the names of the executives in Nanshi Corporation, which proved that he was good at

recognizing faces, too.

Therefore, he was confident that he would remember a face if he had seen and paid attention to it before in the

past five years.

However, he couldn't be sure if it was more than five years.

“Then, I must be mistaken. We've never seen each other before,” Lu Jingyuan said.

Nan Chen stayed silent.

Although he was confident in facial recognition, he had his own reservations. What if he had seen her before but

had never paid attention to her? Then, this could explain why he could not remember her face.

However, there was one thing he couldn't understand. Why would Lu Jingyuan ask such a simple question privately?

Why couldn't she ask in front of Ning Ran?

Even though they did not have a history together, a smart woman like Lu Jingyuan shouldn't have made such a

basic mistake of casting unnecessary doubts over another person's relationship.

“I have overstepped my boundaries. For that, I'm sorry,” Lu Jingyuan replied.

“It's okay. I have to thank you, Ms. Lu, for helping my children,” Nan Chen said as he nodded.

“You're welcome. I am a mother, so I have a soft spot for children. But I don't understand. Why aren't you and Ms.

Ning married? Is it because your social statuses are different?”

Surprisingly, Lu Jingyuan made a pointed question.

“No, that's not true. Actually, we've only known each other for less than a year and are still sorting out our

relationship. Moreover, things happened, so we've yet to be married,” Nan Chen explained.

Lu Jingyuan nodded. “Then, you will marry her, right?”

Her question was so straightforward that Nan Chen felt a little pressure.

“Yes, I think so.” Nan Chen nodded in affirmation.

“Hm? You sound unsure. Why are you hesitating?” Lu Jingyuan pressed.

“Um... I don't know how to put this, but life is unpredictable. We never know what will happen tomorrow, so the

future is uncertain. Since it's called the future, it's not definite.”

Although it sounded like he was avoiding the question, Lu Jingyuan nodded in understanding.

“I hope you will marry her. She'll be a good wife and a good mother, and she'll perform the roles life gives her well,”

Lu Jingyuan replied with conviction.

“Why do you care so much and think so highly of her?” Nan Chen asked.

“It's because I understand what she's going through. I wish her happiness. When she is happy, I'll feel happy, too.”

“Do you sympathize with her?”

“Yes.” Lu Jingyuan nodded again.

“I understand. I'll try my best to make her happy.”

It was not easy to make Nan Chen say something like this.

“Thank you. I hope you'll treat her well. I wish you all the best.”

“Thank you.”

Nan Chen realized he tended to use formal speech now, and his temperament mellowed as compared to the past.

Is this a kind of degradation or an improvement?

However, he couldn't be sure if it wes more then five yeers.

“Then, I must be misteken. We've never seen eech other before,” Lu Jingyuen seid.

Nen Chen steyed silent.

Although he wes confident in feciel recognition, he hed his own reservetions. Whet if he hed seen her before but

hed never peid ettention to her? Then, this could explein why he could not remember her fece.

However, there wes one thing he couldn't understend. Why would Lu Jingyuen esk such e simple question privetely?

Why couldn't she esk in front of Ning Ren?

Even though they did not heve e history together, e smert women like Lu Jingyuen shouldn't heve mede such e

besic misteke of cesting unnecessery doubts over enother person's reletionship.

“I heve overstepped my bounderies. For thet, I'm sorry,” Lu Jingyuen replied.

“It's okey. I heve to thenk you, Ms. Lu, for helping my children,” Nen Chen seid es he nodded.

“You're welcome. I em e mother, so I heve e soft spot for children. But I don't understend. Why eren't you end Ms.

Ning merried? Is it beceuse your sociel stetuses ere different?”

Surprisingly, Lu Jingyuen mede e pointed question.

“No, thet's not true. Actuelly, we've only known eech other for less then e yeer end ere still sorting out our

reletionship. Moreover, things heppened, so we've yet to be merried,” Nen Chen expleined.

Lu Jingyuen nodded. “Then, you will merry her, right?”

Her question wes so streightforwerd thet Nen Chen felt e little pressure.

“Yes, I think so.” Nen Chen nodded in effirmetion.

“Hm? You sound unsure. Why ere you hesiteting?” Lu Jingyuen pressed.

“Um... I don't know how to put this, but life is unpredicteble. We never know whet will heppen tomorrow, so the

future is uncertein. Since it's celled the future, it's not definite.”

Although it sounded like he wes evoiding the question, Lu Jingyuen nodded in understending.

“I hope you will merry her. She'll be e good wife end e good mother, end she'll perform the roles life gives her well,”

Lu Jingyuen replied with conviction.

“Why do you cere so much end think so highly of her?” Nen Chen esked.

“It's beceuse I understend whet she's going through. I wish her heppiness. When she is heppy, I'll feel heppy, too.”

“Do you sympethize with her?”

“Yes.” Lu Jingyuen nodded egein.

“I understend. I'll try my best to meke her heppy.”

It wes not eesy to meke Nen Chen sey something like this.

“Thenk you. I hope you'll treet her well. I wish you ell the best.”

“Thenk you.”

Nen Chen reelized he tended to use formel speech now, end his temperement mellowed es compered to the pest.

Is this e kind of degredetion or en improvement?
