My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 892 Something Feels Weird

In the afternoon of the third day, Nan Xing and Ning Ran stood at the entrance and watched people walk in and out

of Flower City International Airport.

Today was the day Nan Chen's uncles would return. As he was too busy and had no time to pick them up, Ning Ran

went in his place with Nan Xing to the airport.

Ning Ran felt uneasy. Technically, she had not married Nan Chen, so she was not considered the daughter-in-law of

the Nan family. Hence, it felt rather inappropriate for her to pick up Nan Chen's relatives in his place.

On the other hand, Nan Xing kept staring at his phone. He had never met his uncles, so he needed to look at their

photos to ensure he picked up the right people.

“Nan Xing, look over there. Is that them?” Ning Ran suddenly said.

Nan Xing looked to where she was pointing and saw two middle-aged men lugging suitcases behind them as they

walked out of the airport.

Ning Ran had never seen photos of them, but she could somehow determine that one of the two men was Nan

Chen's uncle.

That was because the man wearing a casual gray suit looked handsome, and his features resembled Nan Xing and

Nan Chen.

The only difference was that he looked older and rounder, not as attractive as Nan Xing and Nan Chen.

“It is. That's Uncle Shikun. The one next to him is Uncle Shiren,” Nan Xing replied.

Nan Shikun and Nan Shiren also noticed Nan Xing. They smiled and waved toward him.

Nan Xing and Ning Ran made their way toward the older men. Ning Ran was getting more nervous by the second.

“Uncle Shiren, Uncle Shikun, welcome home.” Nan Xing grinned.

“You must be Nan Xing?” Nan Shikun smiled brightly.

Amazing! They hadn't met for years, yet he could recognize this was Nan Xing at a glance! After all, many people in

Flower City who were acquainted with the twins could not differentiate between the two.

“You're right, Uncle Shikun. I'm Nan Xing. My brother has something important to settle so he can't come. Instead,

he asked my sister-in-law and me to come and pick up you two. This is my sister-in-law, Ning Ran.”

Ning Ran hurriedly bowed her head in respect and said, “Hello, Uncle Shiren and Uncle Shikun. I'm Ning Ran.”

“Good, good. Chen has got good taste. You're very beautiful and polite,” Nan Shikun complimented.

A blush crept onto Ning Ran's cheeks in embarrassment. It was rare for her to be complimented by elders.

While Nan Shikun complimented her, Nan Shiren stood at a side in silence with a cold expression.

The driver drove Nan Xing and Ning Ran to the airport in a luxurious nine-seater MVP because there were picking

up people, and squeezing into a regular car would be too cramped.

After getting into the car, Nan Shikun told them he was not used to the food served on the plane and wanted to

look for some food since he was a little hungry.

Nan Xing asked what he wanted to eat, and Nan Shikun replied that anything would do, but it would be better if they

went to eat authentic local dishes in Flower City since it had been years since he returned home.

Hence, Nan Xing contacted a private dining restaurant and arranged to reserve the entire restaurant. He also

asked the owner to serve them their signature dishes.

While the food was being prepared, Nan Shikun walked toward the window and stared silently at the hustle and

bustle of the city outside.

“The tallest building in the middle is the headquarters of Nanshi Corporation, right?” he turned to ask Nan Xing.

“Yes, Uncle Shikun. That's the headquarters of Nanshi Corporation. We have also developed the commercial block

in front of it,” Nan Xing introduced.

“Flower City is developing so fast. I couldn't even recognize it.” Nan Shikun sighed.

Ning Ran was confused. If you couldn't recognize it, how did you know that the tallest building is the headquarters

of Nanshi Corporation?

When the restaurant owner heard that Nan Xing had reserved the whole place, he came to serve the food

personally. He also asked if they needed anything else and gifted them two bottles of wine.

However, after exchanging pleasantries, the restaurant's owner turned to look at Nan Shikun. “Sir, you were here

last month, right? Back then, I thought you looked familiar, but I couldn't pinpoint who you looked like. Now that I've

seen Master Xing, I can see the resemblance between you two.”

Nan Shikun quickly denied it. “You must've mistaken me for someone else.”

“That's impossible. I'm very sure that it was you. I've operated my business for many years, and I remember every

one of my customers. You came on a weekend last month with a woman and a man—”

“I told you that wasn't me! You've got the wrong person!” Nan Shikun interrupted the owner mid-sentence.

The owner suddenly understood the hidden meaning behind Nan Shikun's words and laughed to lighten the mood.

“Oh, dear. Perhaps I did mistake you for someone else.”

“That must be it. You did mistake me for someone else. I just came back from overseas. It's been a while since I

returned. How could you have seen me here?” Nan Shikun asked angrily.

“I apologize for overstepping my boundaries. I'll drink a glass of wine as punishment. Everyone, please try our

signature dishes. If there is anything else you need, please let me know. We'll make sure your time here was

worthwhile!” the owner exclaimed.

Perhaps Nan Shikun also thought his attitude moments ago was rather overbearing, so he quickly forced a smile as

he raised his wine glass. “It's fine. I look like the average man, so it's easy for you to make that mistake. I'll drink

with you.”

Ning Ran glared at him from the corner of her eye but did not say a word.

She did not believe in what Nan Shikun had said.

Although he was not young, Nan Shikun had exquisite facial features, and one could imagine how good-looking he

was when he was younger. It was no mistake that he resembled Nan Chen and Nan Xing.

If he looks like an average man, then what does a non-average man look like?

Plus, Ning Ran believed that the restaurant owner did not mistake Nan Shikun for someone else.

For someone working in the service industry, such as running a restaurant, he would have to welcome many

customers daily. If the person did not leave a deep impression on him, it would have been hard for him to

remember a normal customer.

Besides, if the owner were not confident, he would not have mentioned that he had previously met the customer.

Since the restaurant owner said he had met Nan Shikun before, Ning Ran believed his words.

Nan Shikun had been abroad for many years, and it was said that he had never returned once. However, the

restaurant owner said he had seen Nan Shikun last month. It was indeed weird.

On top of that, Nan Shikun could recognize the building of Nanshi Corporation at a glance, which caused Ning Ran

to be even more suspicious of him.

I'm afraid this isn't the first time Nan Shikun has returned home. If he did secretly return, what did he come back to

do? Why didn't he inform anyone that he had returned? Should I tell Nan Chen about this?

“Ning Ran, I heard that you and Chen have two kids. Is that right? Can I meet them?” Nan Shikun suddenly asked.

“Oh. Of course, you can. They'll be at Grandma's birthday banquet tomorrow,” Ning Ran replied with a smile.

“I meant meeting them in private. I brought them some gifts,” said Nan Shikun.

“Definitely. But they're at school right now. They're only free at night.” It was hard for Ning Ran to reject him.

“If so, can I come to your place tonight and meet them?” Nan Shikun asked again.

Ning Ran could not come up with an answer to his question.

Although they were related, Ning Ran felt something was off when he asked if he could meet the kids right after

returning from abroad.

However, since he was adamant about meeting them, she had no choice but to allow it.

“Sure. I've got to ask their teacher first if they have a lot of homework to complete. Please wait a moment, Uncle

Shikun. I'll go and make a call,” Ning Ran said awkwardly.

“Be my guest.”

After Ning Ran left the private room, she called Nan Chen and told him that Nan Shikun wanted to visit their place

and meet the kids that night.

Due to time constraints, she did not mention the restaurant's owner recognizing Nan Shikun. Besides, she had not

thought about informing Nan Chen about it.

On Nan Chen's end, he immediately rejected Nan Shikun's request. “Tell him it would be inconvenient for him to

meet the kids tonight as they must complete their homework. He can meet them later at Commoner Residence.”

They had the same thought. Ning Ran did not want Nan Shikun to go to their home either.

Hmm... This Uncle Shikun seems a little weird.
