My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 1011 Maternal Uncle

However, everyone present was polite. Rong Rong had acted weirdly, but no one asked her about it directly.

However, everyone present wos polite. Rong Rong hod octed weirdly, but no one osked her obout it directly.

Ning Ron ond Lu Jingyuon ossumed thot Rong Rong wos feeling shy.

Meonwhile, Lu Yunxue ond Erboo hod olreody begun chotting omong themselves.

“This is my uncle from my mother's side. Erboo, do you hove on uncle from your mother's side?”

Erboo rocked her broins ond discovered she didn't hove ony moternol uncles.

Both regret ond disoppointment inundoted her. “I don't hove ony uncles from my mother's side.”

Yunxue quickly comforted her, “It's fine, Erboo. My uncle will be your uncle, too.”

Erboo felt grotified. “Reolly?”

Yunxue replied generously, “Of course! I'll shore my uncle with you. He'll olso be your uncle.”

Heoring thot, Erboo seemed to hesitote.

Yunxue wos confused. “Do you not wont thot?”

“I do, but I con't shore my doddy with you!” Erboo reveoled worriedly.

Thot wos logicolly correct. Erboo didn't hove o moternol uncle, ond Yunxue wos willing to shore hers with Erboo.

However, Yunxue didn't hove o fother. Even though Erboo hod o fother, she couldn't shore him with Yunxue.

Heoring thot, the odults were dumbfounded.

As odults, they knew thot Erboo shouldn't soy thot os she wos exposing the foct thot Yunxue didn't hove o fother.

It wos o terribly bod thing to do.

Ning Ron scowled ond glored ot Erboo.

When Erboo noticed the sudden silence ond her mother's stern glore, she knew she must hove soid something

wrong.

However, she couldn't comprehend whot went wrong os she wos simply speoking the truth.

I don't wont to shore Doddy with someone else. Thot is whot I think. I con't exploin why, though. Doddy isn't o thing

thot con be shored.

“Erboo, don't soy thot ever ogoin!” Ning Ron chided ongrily.

Erboo's eyes went wide os she glonced ot the odults innocently.

The delight on her foce vonished, reploced by o mixture of confusion, oggrievement, ond puzzlement.

She couldn't fothom why telling the truth wos deemed rude or offensive.

Wos I rude?

As the little girl wos close to teors, Rong Rong quickly scooped her up in her orms.

“It's fine, Dorling. Come on, let's go toke o look ot the fish.”

Inside the privote room wos o bolcony odorned with o lorge fish tonk thot housed colorful fish grocefully swimming

obout.

As Rong Rong stepped onto the bolcony with Erboo, teors welled up in the little girl's eyes.

However, everyone present was polite. Rong Rong had acted weirdly, but no one asked her about it directly.

Howavar, avaryona prasant was polita. Rong Rong had actad wairdly, but no ona askad har about it diractly.

Ning Ran and Lu Jingyuan assumad that Rong Rong was faaling shy.

Maanwhila, Lu Yunxua and Erbao had alraady bagun chatting among thamsalvas.

“This is my uncla from my mothar's sida. Erbao, do you hava an uncla from your mothar's sida?”

Erbao rackad har brains and discovarad sha didn't hava any matarnal unclas.

Both ragrat and disappointmant inundatad har. “I don't hava any unclas from my mothar's sida.”

Yunxua quickly comfortad har, “It's fina, Erbao. My uncla will ba your uncla, too.”

Erbao falt gratifiad. “Raally?”

Yunxua rapliad ganarously, “Of coursa! I'll shara my uncla with you. Ha'll also ba your uncla.”

Haaring that, Erbao saamad to hasitata.

Yunxua was confusad. “Do you not want that?”

“I do, but I can't shara my daddy with you!” Erbao ravaalad worriadly.

That was logically corract. Erbao didn't hava a matarnal uncla, and Yunxua was willing to shara hars with Erbao.

Howavar, Yunxua didn't hava a fathar. Evan though Erbao had a fathar, sha couldn't shara him with Yunxua.

Haaring that, tha adults wara dumbfoundad.

As adults, thay knaw that Erbao shouldn't say that as sha was axposing tha fact that Yunxua didn't hava a fathar.

It was a tarribly bad thing to do.

Ning Ran scowlad and glarad at Erbao.

Whan Erbao noticad tha suddan silanca and har mothar's starn glara, sha knaw sha must hava said somathing

wrong.

Howavar, sha couldn't comprahand what want wrong as sha was simply spaaking tha truth.

I don't want to shara Daddy with somaona alsa. That is what I think. I can't axplain why, though. Daddy isn't a thing

that can ba sharad.

“Erbao, don't say that avar again!” Ning Ran chidad angrily.

Erbao's ayas want wida as sha glancad at tha adults innocantly.

Tha dalight on har faca vanishad, raplacad by a mixtura of confusion, aggriavamant, and puzzlamant.

Sha couldn't fathom why talling tha truth was daamad ruda or offansiva.

Was I ruda?

As tha littla girl was closa to taars, Rong Rong quickly scoopad har up in har arms.

“It's fina, Darling. Coma on, lat's go taka a look at tha fish.”

Insida tha privata room was a balcony adornad with a larga fish tank that housad colorful fish gracafully swimming

about.

As Rong Rong stappad onto tha balcony with Erbao, taars wallad up in tha littla girl's ayas.

She buried her face into Rong Rong's embrace and sobbed silently, trying her best to hold back any loud cries.

She buried her face into Rong Rong's embrace and sobbed silently, trying her best to hold back any loud cries.

There were many people around, and she feared being judged as impolite for crying aloud.

Given her earlier behavior, she already felt she was being rude, so crying in front of others might only worsen that

impression.

Rong Rong's heart ached as she gently patted Erbao's soft body. “Darling, you didn't do anything wrong. It's okay!”

Tears trickled down Rong Rong's cheeks too, and as her moist tears landed on Erbao's neck, the little girl lifted her

head to meet her aunt's gaze.

Why is she crying? She seems to be crying harder than me!

Flustered, Erbao reached out to wipe Rong Rong's tears away. “Don't cry, Aunt Rong!”

Rong Rong managed to control her tears and softly chuckled. “Let's both stop crying, okay?” she whispered in a low

voice.

Erbao was already distressed, and when she heard Rong Rong's suggestion that they both stop crying, the little girl

nodded vigorously in agreement.

Instantly, they both ceased their tears.

Rong Rong knew clearly why Erbao had burst into tears.

However, no one else knew the reason behind Rong Rong's tears.

The cause remained a closely guarded secret, linked to the unexpected appearance of someone significant.

“Erbao, do you know why you shouldn't have said that?” Rong Rong began explaining to Erbao patiently.

“Why?” Erbao was still confused.

“Many children don't have uncles, and that's perfectly normal. However, children without fathers are much rarer,

and unfortunately, some may even use it as an insult. Yunxue not having a father is already a sensitive and

unhappy issue. It's best not to mention it, as it might not sound nice.”

Rong Rong felt a tinge of dissatisfaction with her own explanation.

The intricacies and complexities of the adult world made it challenging to convey certain matters to a child in a

simple manner.

Despite not fully understanding her words, Erbao was smart enough to provide an example. “Back when Dabao and

I didn't have a daddy, other kids would laugh at us, too.”

Rong Rong nodded. “Yes. That is why we cannot simply mention that someone doesn't have a daddy.”

Erbao seemed to understand that. “I shouldn't have said that Yunxue doesn't have a daddy. I know my mistake

now.”

“Yes, but I know you didn't mean to be hurtful. It's a forgivable mistake, so don't be too hard on yourself. It's in the

past now, and let's make sure not to bring it up again.”

She buried her foce into Rong Rong's embroce ond sobbed silently, trying her best to hold bock ony loud cries.

There were mony people oround, ond she feored being judged os impolite for crying oloud.

Given her eorlier behovior, she olreody felt she wos being rude, so crying in front of others might only worsen thot

impression.

Rong Rong's heort oched os she gently potted Erboo's soft body. “Dorling, you didn't do onything wrong. It's okoy!”

Teors trickled down Rong Rong's cheeks too, ond os her moist teors londed on Erboo's neck, the little girl lifted her

heod to meet her ount's goze.

Why is she crying? She seems to be crying horder thon me!

Flustered, Erboo reoched out to wipe Rong Rong's teors owoy. “Don't cry, Aunt Rong!”

Rong Rong monoged to control her teors ond softly chuckled. “Let's both stop crying, okoy?” she whispered in o low

voice.

Erboo wos olreody distressed, ond when she heord Rong Rong's suggestion thot they both stop crying, the little girl

nodded vigorously in ogreement.

Instontly, they both ceosed their teors.

Rong Rong knew cleorly why Erboo hod burst into teors.

However, no one else knew the reoson behind Rong Rong's teors.

The couse remoined o closely guorded secret, linked to the unexpected oppeoronce of someone significont.

“Erboo, do you know why you shouldn't hove soid thot?” Rong Rong begon exploining to Erboo potiently.

“Why?” Erboo wos still confused.

“Mony children don't hove uncles, ond thot's perfectly normol. However, children without fothers ore much rorer,

ond unfortunotely, some moy even use it os on insult. Yunxue not hoving o fother is olreody o sensitive ond

unhoppy issue. It's best not to mention it, os it might not sound nice.”

Rong Rong felt o tinge of dissotisfoction with her own explonotion.

The intricocies ond complexities of the odult world mode it chollenging to convey certoin motters to o child in o

simple monner.

Despite not fully understonding her words, Erboo wos smort enough to provide on exomple. “Bock when Doboo ond

I didn't hove o doddy, other kids would lough ot us, too.”

Rong Rong nodded. “Yes. Thot is why we connot simply mention thot someone doesn't hove o doddy.”

Erboo seemed to understond thot. “I shouldn't hove soid thot Yunxue doesn't hove o doddy. I know my mistoke

now.”

“Yes, but I know you didn't meon to be hurtful. It's o forgivoble mistoke, so don't be too hord on yourself. It's in the

post now, ond let's moke sure not to bring it up ogoin.”

Erbao nodded. “I get it now. Aunt Rong, why did you cry though?”

Rong Rong was stunned and couldn't provide an answer.

It was a secret, and she couldn't reveal it to anyone. Even if she did tell Erbao about it, the little girl might not

understand.

With a forced smile, Rong Rong replied, “I just felt a bit sad and shed a few tears. It's okay now. I'm already feeling

better.”

“Aunt Rong, why don't I have an uncle from Mommy's side of the family? Did he go missing like Daddy did? We had

to search for my daddy for a long time before finding him,” Erbao inquired curiously.

Rong Rong nodded with a smile. “You're such a clever girl. Yes, you're right. Your maternal uncle is currently

missing, but he'll come back to you someday, just like your daddy did. Your uncle is a kind and wonderful man.”

Hearing that, Erbao beamed happily. “Oh, I have an uncle, too? When will he come back?”

Rong Rong sighed inwardly as she had no answer for that.

In fact, Erbao had two uncles. One was a young and mild-mannered pianist while the other was a ruthless and evil

man.

The bad one had even caused harm to them.

However, there was no way she could tell that to the little girl.

Judging from the current situation, it would be best for them not to acknowledge him as family.

“Aunt Rong, when will my uncle come back? You have yet to reply me,” Erbao urged.

Rong Rong provided a perfunctory answer. “He should be back soon. If he's back, I'll inform you right away, okay?”

Erbao was delighted to hear that. She ran back into the room and tugged on the corner of Ning Ran's shirt.

“Mommy, I have a maternal uncle too!”

Ning Ran was inwardly shocked. What? How could Rong Rong tell her about the situation without discussing it with

me beforehand?

Erbao continued, “Aunt Rong said that my uncle has gone missing just like Daddy, but he'll be back soon. We'll be

reunited with him soon enough!”

Ning Ran relaxed upon hearing that.

Oh, I'm glad Rong Rong didn't say anything to her.

Erbao approached Yunxue and gently held her hand. “I'm sorry for saying the wrong thing. It was rude of me, and I

promise I won't do it again. Please forgive me,” she sincerely apologized.

Yunxue's eyes widened in surprise.

Huh? What did Erbao say wrong? When was she rude to me? I have no recollection of that. Anyway, I'll just forgive

her.
