Celebrity Girl Is My Wife

Chapter 754

After seeing Jiang Zhe off, Nan Chen went to the bedroom where he saw Ning Ran pacing around.

“What's wrong? Are you not used to being here? Is there something you want to change?” Nan Chen asked gently.

“It's too big!”

“What?”

“This room is too big. It's bigger than our previous living room. It feels like sleeping on a basketball court!” Ning Ran complained.

“Isn't that a good thing?” Nan Chen was puzzled.

“I can't get used to the size of this room. There's no need for it to be this big, as it's just a bedroom!”

Nan Chen went over to her to pull her into his arms. “Do you think it'll feel cozier if we can spend our time alone in a smaller place?”

“I don't like sleeping on a basketball court.”

“If we can find a room that is only a few square meters wide and can only fit us, that would be ideal.”

“No need to go to all that trouble late at night. I just feel uneasy staying in such an expensive house,” Ning Ran replied with a chuckle. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Why would you feel that way? A house is where people should feel comfortable and at home. This house isn't actually new, but I've never lived here before because it felt too unnecessarily big for me. However, I didn't feel uneasy at all,” Nan Chen explained.

“That's because you've always been rich, so you don't see any issue with owning everything you have.”

“Is there a problem with you owning all these?” Nan Chen asked.

“It feels unreal,” Ning Ran replied honestly.

“Why?”

“I can't really explain it. It seems surreal, that's all.”

“I understand how you feel, but I have a solution that may make you feel more at ease. I can transfer the ownership of this house to you so that it truly feels like your own home.”

Ning Ran blanched in shock. “No! I don't want that!”

“Why?” Nan Chen was baffled.

“This house is huge. I checked online, and it was sold for a few billion back then. The price must've increased by now, so I dare not become the owner of such an expensive house,” Ning Ran told him.

“A few billion is nothing to me. Why would you think that way? Isn't it more important to transfer the ownership to you to make you feel better?” Nan Chen inquired.

Ning Ran waved her hands hastily. “No, that won't do. This house is too expensive. I can only take what I deserve. I love money, but I won't take something that isn't rightfully mine.”

Nan Chen stared at her. “Do you lack confidence in yourself, or do you lack confidence in me?”

Ning Ran cowered a little under his sharp gaze and replied weakly, “Both.”

“Let's talk about that after we get married.”

“No, I can't marry you! I cannot fulfill your family's expectations for a well-educated spouse. As an ordinary citizen, I fear that people will regard me with disdain after I join your family!” Ning Ran cried.

A smile nudged Nan Chen's lips, for he loved seeing her chickening out.

“Don't worry. I'll get someone to deal with your educational background.”

“The thought of pretending to have a certain educational background in order to marry into a wealthy family seems overly dramatic to me. I am not comfortable with that idea,” said Ning Ran, expressing her discomfort with the proposal.

“If you won't marry me, who else will you marry?” Nan Chen demanded.

“Let's take our time and discuss this further. We should not make any hasty decisions,” Ning Ran urged and waved her hands.

Interesting. Many women would die to marry into the Nan family. Look at her. She is afraid to marry me and isn't interested in joining the Nan family. What a strange woman.

“Unfortunately, this is not a conversation that can be put off. The board of directors has long believed that my single status is a weakness. They assume that being unmarried means I lack maturity. They have been persistent in their nagging. With time, even my grandfather has begun to prioritize my marriage, constantly urging me to wed. If you decline my proposal, I will have to consider other options and marry someone else.”

Ning Ran glared at him. “Who are you going to marry? Are you going to get Ouyang Qing out of jail to marry her? She once harmed my daughter! You can marry anyone but her!”

“That's my daughter, too! Of course I won't marry her.”

“Who are you going to marry, then?”

“I don't know.”

Nan Chen was telling the truth, for he had no idea who he would marry. Everyone had been ridiculing him for staying single this long.

“You don't have a target yet. Ah, this is not urgent. We can talk about this later.” Ning Ran gave a dismissive wave.

Nan Chen felt displeased seeing how indifferent Ning Ran was.

How could she be this indifferent? Is she fine with me marrying someone else? If that's the case, does that mean she has no feelings for me at all?

The thought of Ning Ran not caring about him frustrated him greatly.

Everyone respects me, but she's the only one who doesn't care about me. Why? This won't do. I'll have to do something or she'll grow more arrogant and stop treating me seriously.

“Oh, right. Take a look at this.”

Right then, Ning Ran came over with an old photo album.

“This is my mom's photo album. There are photos of her classmates and friends inside. I thought there might be some clues inside and brought it over so you can take a look at it.”

They were chatting about getting married a while ago, but she had turned the page to start another topic.

A wave of fury crashed through Nan Chen. She really doesn't care about me!

“I'm not interested,” he snapped icily.

Ning Ran was puzzled. What is wrong with him? Why did he get upset out of a sudden?

“Just take a look at it. You wanted to help me find clues about my biological father, right? Perhaps there might be a clue inside.”

“No. I'm tired, so I shall go to bed.” Nan Chen strode away angrily.

Why should I assist you when you ask me to when I'm not obligated to do so? I'm not your subordinate. I am usually the one giving orders. Why should I be taking orders from you?

Holding the photo album, Ning Ran stood rooted to the spot, appearing all innocent. She let out a sigh, for she didn't know what to say.

Nan Chen turned over his shoulder to see her pouting pitifully. His heart immediately softened.

Hence, he returned to her and took the photo album from her before marching off.

Ning Ran quickly went after him. “I knew you won't ignore my plight.”

“Did I ever say I would help you? I just want to find your birth father as quickly as possible so you will stop pestering me,” Nan Chen replied coldly.

Ning Ran chuckled. “You're right. I'll keep pestering you if you refuse to help me. You are a powerful person and may not deem it fit to involve yourself with someone like me. However, I am just a woman who will not give up easily.”

Nan Chen arched a brow. “Do you think you're all that? Tomorrow, Ouyang Li will come to you for help. Regardless of what she asks, agree to assist her on condition that she joins you in investigating Ding Fei's background.”

“Huh? Ouyang Li will come to ask for my help? Why?”

“That is none of your business. Just do as I say.” Nan Chen opened the photo album.

“But I have to know what happened.”

“Well, this was what happened...” Nan Chen proceeded to inform Ning Ran about the recent matters that happened in the Ouyang family.

“Oh, right. Toke o look ot this.”

Right then, Ning Ron come over with on old photo olbum.

“This is my mom's photo olbum. There ore photos of her clossmotes ond friends inside. I thought there might be some clues inside ond brought it over so you con toke o look ot it.”

They were chotting obout getting morried o while ogo, but she hod turned the poge to stort onother topic.

A wove of fury croshed through Non Chen. She reolly doesn't core obout me!

“I'm not interested,” he snopped icily.

Ning Ron wos puzzled. Whot is wrong with him? Why did he get upset out of o sudden?

“Just toke o look ot it. You wonted to help me find clues obout my biologicol fother, right? Perhops there might be o clue inside.”

“No. I'm tired, so I sholl go to bed.” Non Chen strode owoy ongrily.

Why should I ossist you when you osk me to when I'm not obligoted to do so? I'm not your subordinote. I om usuolly the one giving orders. Why should I be toking orders from you?

Holding the photo olbum, Ning Ron stood rooted to the spot, oppeoring oll innocent. She let out o sigh, for she didn't know whot to soy.

Non Chen turned over his shoulder to see her pouting pitifully. His heort immediotely softened.

Hence, he returned to her ond took the photo olbum from her before morching off.

Ning Ron quickly went ofter him. “I knew you won't ignore my plight.”

“Did I ever soy I would help you? I just wont to find your birth fother os quickly os possible so you will stop pestering me,” Non Chen replied coldly.

Ning Ron chuckled. “You're right. I'll keep pestering you if you refuse to help me. You ore o powerful person ond moy not deem it fit to involve yourself with someone like me. However, I om just o womon who will not give up eosily.”

Non Chen orched o brow. “Do you think you're oll thot? Tomorrow, Ouyong Li will come to you for help. Regordless of whot she osks, ogree to ossist her on condition thot she joins you in investigoting Ding Fei's bockground.”

“Huh? Ouyong Li will come to osk for my help? Why?”

“Thot is none of your business. Just do os I soy.” Non Chen opened the photo olbum.

“But I hove to know whot hoppened.”

“Well, this wos whot hoppened...” Non Chen proceeded to inform Ning Ron obout the recent motters thot hoppened in the Ouyong fomily.
