Celebrity Girl Is My Wife

Chapter 808

A month later, the filming for I Am You had officially wrapped up.

Hence, everyone from the production team returned to Flower City. They were going to hold an official closing ceremony and celebratory dinner after a short break.

At the same time, the second phase of the movie's promotion had begun. The production team would soon appear on various programs to promote the movie.

Naturally, one of the most important members was Ning Ran.

As soon as she rushed back from the filming site to Raining Pavilion, she saw many people busy preparing dinner.

“Mommy, we're having a feast today. We're also having a cake-cutting ceremony to celebrate wrapping up your first movie,” Erbao announced as she rushed over.

Planting a kiss on her daughter's cheek, Ning Ran teased, “You little glutton. The cake was your idea, wasn't it?”

Erbao denied, “Of course not! It was Daddy's idea.”

Naturally, Ning Ran did not believe her words. “Daddy's the one who wanted the cake?”

“Yep. Daddy was the one who ordered it. You can ask Dabao if you don't believe me.”

Dabao nodded in response. “Yes.”

“I see. Does that mean I wronged my chubby daughter?” Ning Ran teased while pinching Erbao's cheeks.

“Exactly, but I like the cake.” Erbao chuckled.

“I knew it. You're such a glutton. Anyway, I'll take a shower first,” Ning Ran informed, smiling.

“Okay, Mommy. Be quick. We'll wait for you,” said Erbao.

“Okay.”

By the time Ning Ran had finished showering and had changed into a set of clean clothes, Nan Chen had returned.

He was talking to the children in the dining hall when Ning Ran approached, and the trio fell silent immediately.

Puzzled, Ning Ran asked, “What were you three talking about just now?”

Erbao glanced at Dabao, who glanced at Nan Chen. Clearly, Nan Chen was responsible for answering Ning Ran on their behalf.

However, Nan Chen simply answered, “Nothing!”

Of course, Ning Ran did not believe his words. What's going on? They were clearly in the middle of a discussion just now, and they went quiet the moment I arrived. Were they badmouthing me behind my back?

“What are you guys up to? What shady stuff were you three talking about?”

“It's nothing. Let's eat,” Nan Chen responded half-heartedly.

“Mommy, we were talking about waiting for you to cut the cake,” said Erbao.

Upon hearing that, Ning Ran squatted and pretended to threaten Erbao, “Tell me. What were you talking about just now? Don't you dare lie to me, or else I won't love you anymore.”

Feeling pressured, Erbao turned to Dabao for help.

“It's really nothing, Mommy. Daddy was just explaining the meaning of this cake,” Dabao stepped in to help his sister.

“And what is it?”

Putting out a finger, Dabao stated, “First, the filming of your movie is completed. That's something worth celebrating.”

“It's my movie, too! I played a role in it!” Erbao piped up.

“Yes, yes. Erbao acted in it as well, so we have to celebrate this,” Dabao added.

Ning Ran still looked skeptical. “What's the second meaning?”

Grinning, Dabao glanced at Nan Chen and said, “Hm... Maybe Daddy should say it himself.”

The moment Dabao passed the baton to Nan Chen, a shy look crept onto the latter's face.

Nan Chen was expressionless most of the time. Thus, it was rare to see that awkward look on his face.

His bashful behavior amused Ning Ran. I never knew Sir Chen had this side to him.

“It's your turn to speak, Mr. Chen. Dabao says you should be the one announcing the second meaning of the cake,” Ning Ran teased.

“Uh...” Nan Chen was at a loss.

“Just tell her, Daddy. Don't tell me you're shy in front of Mommy,” encouraged Erbao with a smile.

“Exactly. You're a man, Daddy. Since when were you ever shy?”

Unfortunately, the children's teasing only flustered Nan Chen even more.

“Uh... It's... Well...”

“Yes?” Ning Ran's curiosity was piqued.

“Today's the first anniversary of the day we got to know each other... I...”

Ning Ran's heart fluttered. Anniversary? Oh, right. I brought the children back to the country during this time last year.

However, Ning Ran did not remember the details of her first encounter with Nan Chen in the past.

Yet, Nan Chen remembered it. That surprised and touched Ning Ran.

In the meantime, an important question came to Erbao's mind. “So, Mommy and Daddy have only known each other for a year? Weren't we already five years old at that time? How is it that we've known Mommy longer than Daddy?”

That was indeed a serious question that was worth discussing.

Nan Chen and Ning Ran glanced at each other, wordlessly prompting one another to answer Erbao's question.

After all, the question was not an easy one.

In the end, neither of them provided an answer. Instead, Dabao was the one who defused the situation. “I think it's not their anniversary of getting to know each other. It's the anniversary of their reunion.”

That was a smart move from Dabao. Just like that, he had resolved the awkward situation the adults were in.

“All right. Let's cut the cake.” Erbao's attention had already shifted to the cake; she was no longer interested in the topic.

“You should cut it.” Nan Chen gestured to Ning Ran.

Hearing that, Erbao stared at Ning Ran while blinking her gem-like eyes. The former wanted to cut the cake too, as it was one of her favorite activities.

As Erbao's mother, Ning Ran naturally knew what was on her daughter's mind.

Thus, she picked Erbao up, saying, “Come on. Let's cut the cake together.”

After the cake was cut, Nan Chen personally served Ning Ran a piece.

“Daddy, you can enjoy the cake later. Bring out your gift,” Dabao reminded.

“Oh? There's a gift, too?” Ning Ran smiled. The idea of receiving gifts never failed to put a smile on people's faces.

Just as Nan Chen had left, Dabao leaned closer to Ning Ran and whispered, “Mommy, I have a secret to tell you.”

Hearing that, Erbao shuffled closer. She would never miss out on an exciting moment like that.

“What is it?” Ning Ran asked.

“Daddy originally wanted to put the gift in the cake, but he gave up on it because he thought it was unhygienic,” stated Dabao.

“Oh? What's the gift?” Ning Ran grew increasingly curious.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“You'll find out soon,” Dabao said mysteriously.

It was then Nan Chen returned with a square box in his hand.

The moment he opened the lid, eight diamond rings came into everyone's view.

Each one of them had different designs, yet they were all beautiful.

“I was supposed to get the ring custom-made, but both of us have been too busy recently. Anyway, it's just an engagement ring. A simple one will do. We can get our wedding rings custom-made instead. So, I bought one set each of their latest designs. You can pick the pair that you like and put aside the ones that you don't,” explained Nan Chen.

Ning Ran's heartbeat sped up. An engagement ring? Why was I not aware that we were getting engaged?

“Y-You never discussed this with me. Besides, you only needed to buy one. Why waste so much money on getting so many rings?” she asked.

Thank goodness he didn't hide all these rings in the cake. I would've broken my teeth if I accidentally bit into it.

“We were so busy lately that we didn't have time to meet. That's why I never discussed it with you. Anyway, we're discussing it now, aren't we?”

He's really something else. What's there to discuss when he already bought so many rings?
