My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 851

Chapter 851 Productivity Affected

Ning Ran was feeling smug about herself when she immediately realized an issue. Did my facial expression give me away? Did Qin Lan see through my happiness? Do I look smug to her now?

Ning Ran hurriedly adjusted her facial expressions and tried to appear normal.

She chuckled in response to Qin Lan's words, albeit a bit exaggerated, as she was anxious about hiding her true feelings and did not want Qin Lan to detect anything.

Qin Lan laughed as well. “I'm curious. How did you manage to change Nan Chen? Because of your beauty? But that can't be it. Several other pretty heiresses courted him previously, but he did not take a fancy to any of them. You are an exception; Nan Chen's feelings for you are genuine. As they say, love cannot be explained using logic. I may be a professional, but I'm unable to analyze the reason behind his change.”

Qin Lan's words again made Ning Ran's heart skip a beat while boosting her ego.

“You give me too much credit, Ms. Qin. In Nan Chen's eyes, I'm merely a nanny helping to care for his children. I'm no different from the other women,” Ning Ran responded humbly.

Qin Lan smiled, twisting her long hair. “If there's an opportunity, let's have a drink together. I sense you have something to share with me. I think we will hit it off well, and there's a possibility that we can be friends.”

Ning Ran nodded. “Sure. Thank you.” NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

“See you next time.” Qin Lan waved.

Qiao Zhan opened the car door. After helping Ning Ran and the children into the car, he gave Qin Lan a polite nod and started the engine.

“Dr. Qin is one of Sir Chen's few friends. Whenever he had a problem in the past, he would find her. Ever since you appeared, Sir Chen rarely comes here anymore.” Qiao Zhan initiated a conversation about the relationship between Qin Lan and Nan Chen.

Ning Ran frowned slightly upon hearing that. He will see her whenever he has a problem, but what does he do when he comes?

“And then?” Ning Ran suddenly asked.

Qiao Zhan was baffled by the question. “And then?”

“Yes, when he comes to visit Dr. Qin, what happens then?”

Qiao Zhan thought for a while. “From what I know, sometimes he does nothing and just sleeps there...”

“Huh?” Ning Ran, Dabao, and Erbao exclaimed almost in unison.

“No... It's not what you think. Sir Chen would nap on the therapy chair and leave afterward,” Qiao Zhan hurriedly explained.

After hearing Qiao Zhan's explanation, Ning Ran and the two children were relieved.

“Sir Chen is constantly under pressure but can't talk to anyone about it. As a psychologist, Dr. Qin plays the role of a listening ear. I guess this is why they became friends. Thereafter, with the appearance of the three of you, Sir Chen's visits to Dr. Qin became less frequent. Having served Sir Chen for many years, I sincerely feel he is much happier compared to the past. This is all thanks to you,” Qiao Zhan said emotionally.

“That's because of me! I'm a barrel of laughs, so Daddy is happy whenever he sees me!” Erbao boasted proudly.

Dabao and Ning Ran exchanged a glance, but they could not be bothered to rebut Erbao.

Just then, Qiao Zhan's phone rang. He parked the car by the roadside and answered the call.

The call took longer than expected, lasting for more than ten minutes.

In short, Qiao Zhan's subordinate was updating him on the information gathered thus far about that afternoon's incident outside the school gate. It seemed a little complex, so the investigation was not yet complete.

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Zhan told Ning Ran that the police had not found the biker yet. Thus, he reminded her to be cautious.

Ning Ran nodded. She was worried as well.

When Ning Ran woke up the next morning, she found Nan Chen sleeping in the study room.

Nan Chen had not returned when Ning Ran went to bed, so she guessed he must have returned late and immediately went to the study room to continue working. He most probably dozed off due to tiredness.

Ning Ran did not want to wake him, so she left the room quietly.

When she checked on Erbao next, she found the latter still sleeping.

As there was no conclusion on yesterday's incident, Qiao Zhan informed the school that Erbao and Dabao would not be attending school temporarily. Hence, Erbao was able to sleep a little longer.

Ning Ran originally had work scheduled that day. However, due to the attack, her company temporarily suspended all her activities for her safety.

By the time Ning Ran prepared breakfast, Dabao had already woken up and come to the dining table. Ning Ran told him to be quiet so as not to wake Nan Chen up.

Nevertheless, she saw Nan Chen standing behind her as she turned her head.

He had not changed from his suit, and his hair was messy. Ning Ran felt a slight heartache when she saw his haggard face.

“Daddy, you look tired. Why don't you sleep a little longer?” Dabao said thoughtfully.

“All right, I'll sleep for another hour. Wake me up later,” Nan Chen replied.

Nan Chen passed his phone to Ning Ran. “Help me answer the calls. Call me if there's anything of special importance.”

With that, he headed to the bedroom and continued sleeping. It seemed like he was genuinely tired.

Judging from his bloodshot eyes, Nan Chen most probably only caught some sleep at daybreak.

Not long after Nan Chen went to sleep, his phone rang. It was a call from Jiang Zhe.

Ning Ran explained that Nan Chen was sleeping as he was tired. She told Jiang Zhe to settle the matters on his own first. If there were any issues that he could not resolve, he would have to wait until Nan Chen was awake.

Nan Chen finally woke up at ten o'clock, looking rejuvenated after freshening up.

He then spent half an hour returning phone calls and replying to urgent emails before he started eating breakfast.

Ning Ran and the two children had already finished their breakfast by then. They sat around Nan Chen and watched him eat heartily.

At that moment, Qiao Zhan came to report the latest information.

He obtained more details about the motorbike at the school gate yesterday. The motorbike was rented from a vehicle rental company.

The person who rented it was a professional racer. According to sources, he participated in some

lower-tier competitions before. However, he became addicted to gambling and racked up a huge debt. Thus far, he still could not be found.

The first vehicle to ram into the motorbike in an attempt to protect Ning Ran belonged to Qiao Zhan's subordinates.

After the biker was hit, he tried to flee but was rammed by a black SUV. That SUV did not belong to Qiao Zhan's subordinates but another party who abruptly appeared.

According to Qiao Zhan's analysis, that group seemed to be Ruan Anxi's men. He reached that conclusion because Ruan Anxi was present in Flower City yesterday, which was ascertained by Ning Ran.

And the final car that banged into the black SUV belonged to another group that took the biker with them. The vehicle was found, but there were no signs of the driver or the passengers.

As the biker was currently missing, nobody knew his motive for trying to run over Ning Ran.

The most likely possibility would be someone offered to hire the biker and pay off his gambling debt if he could kill Ning Ran.

Judging from the current circumstances, the Rong family was highly suspected to be the mastermind.

They unleashed attacks on Nan Chen in both ways—his company and his family. That resulted in Nan Chen having to weigh his focus between resolving issues at work and watching out for his family's safety. Inevitably, he would be worn out, affecting both his productivity and judgment.
