My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 1008

Chapter 1008 Defeated By Two Little Girls

Meanwhile, Nan Xing was in the car. On both sides of him was an adorable little girl.

With her face devoid of expression, Lu Yunbing gazed out the window at the heavy traffic. She had no interest in talking to the man.

On the contrary, Lu Yunxue was by no means forlorn as she chattered endlessly.

“Remember not to run your mouths when you two see your uncle later,” Nan Xing warned.

“What does that mean?” Lu Yunxue asked in puzzlement.

She felt that she never ran her mouth usually, so she could not quite understand what that meant exactly.

“Don't say anything that would arouse his suspicion,” Nan Xing elaborated.

“What would he be suspicious about?” Lu Yunxue pressed.

That question put Nan Xing into a difficult position.

Back then, he took Lu Jingyuan away from the capital as her boyfriend and once swore before Lu Tiance that he would treat her well with all his heart.

Judging from the current situation, however, he seemingly had no opportunity to do so since she ignored him entirely.

He could not fathom the exact problem between them, but there was a myriad of issues.

He was used to being a wealthy heir, with people often flattering him and no lack of ladies pursuing him.

Over time, it became a habit, and he liked having women taking the initiative to approach him.

On top of that, he preferred them conceding to him.

Alas, Lu Jingyuan did not bother to do that. In fact, he would even get chided when he took the initiative to approach her.

Furthermore, she was reserved by nature and disliked crowds. As such, she would not accompany him to parties.

Since she would not attend, he found it necessary to get other women as his female companion.

At parties where everyone had a female companion, the lack of one by his side could easily engender all kinds of rumors.

Therefore, he would invite other women to attend the parties with him. But then, their activities were restricted to drinking and the like.

Nonetheless, Lu Jingyuan could not comprehend such behavior either. She felt that he had neither restraint nor self-respect.

Worse still, he remained unrepentant, thus undeserving of her trust.

Despite it all, she was not jealous, merely treating him indifferently.

Needless to say, a wealthy heir who had been pampered since young could never stand being treated apathetically by someone else out of the blue.

Consequently, the distance between them felt increasingly farther. In the end, they plunged into a perpetual cold war.

For that reason, Nan Xing was indeed left without an answer to Lu Yunxue's question about his worry regarding Lu Tiance's suspicion.

“Why aren't you saying anything? Do you have some unspeakable concern?” Lu Yunxue prompted.

Nan Xing was wholly stunned. Whoa! What is she saying?

“Stop spouting nonsense! That's absolutely not true!” Nan Xing denied frantically.

On the other side of him, Lu Yunbing murmured placidly, “He's feeling guilty.”

A headache assailed Nan Xing.

Never mind that Lu Jingyuan is difficult to deal with, but why are her two daughters no different?

“I didn't do anything wrong, so why would I feel guilty?” Nan Xing retorted loudly.

“If you're not feeling guilty, why would you warn us not to run our mouths?” Lu Yunbing countered.

That left Nan Xing without any words to refute her.

“I meant that your uncle would worry if you two were to run your mouths. Hence, this isn't for me but for your mommy's and uncle's sakes. I'm just an outsider, and this matter has nothing to do with me in the first place. I'm only being involved because...”

By then, he found that he could not find any justification for himself.

That's right. Why am I involved? This is a gathering of the Lu family, so why am I inserting myself into it when I'm merely an outsider? The most absurd thing is Lu Jingyuan isn't coming herself. Instead, she's

going to meet her friends. Yet, she asked me to bring her two kids to meet her brother! Why should I agree to it? But then, I've already done so! Did she cast a spell on me that I accepted such a difficult and thankless errand?

Beside him, Lu Yunbing continued to hit him with her words. “If it has nothing to do with you, why are you here?” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“That's because... because your mommy begged me to do this!” Nan Xing fibbed anxiously.

Snorting coldly, Lu Yunbing scoffed, “Would my mommy ever beg you? Hasn't it always been the other way around? Are you deluding yourself now?”

She was usually taciturn, but once she spoke, her words were so caustic that one could not stand them.

Utter humiliation swamped Nan Xing.

I've already got to put up with Lu Jingyuan regularly. And now, I even have to tolerate her daughter! What is this?

“Can you talk properly? If such is your attitude, I'm going home. You can have lunch with your uncle by yourselves!” he snapped.

“Whatever!” Lu Yunbing and Lu Yunxue replied in concert.

Nan Xing was rendered totally speechless.

Argh! Forget it! I'm magnanimous, so I don't take offense to others, especially kids. I'll let them off the hook this time.

Silence reigned in the car. Nan Xing felt that he did not need to eat anymore, so angry that he had lost his appetite.

He was so furious that he fell silent. Lu Yunbing was not bothered, but Lu Yunxue was not accustomed to the stillness.

She had to talk, for she loved chatter.

“Mr. Nan, carry on,” she urged.

However, Nan Xing jerked his head to the side in a huff. “How am I to do that? What's there to say?”

“You told us not to run our mouths, but you didn't specify what exactly we can and cannot talk about.” Lu Yunxue pouted.

Upon hearing that, Nan Xing snapped back to his senses.

That's true. I haven't yet finished talking about the matter at hand. How could I be defeated by two little girls when I'm the young master of the Nan family?

“Listen carefully, then. My request is simple. Firstly, you can't say that I'm arguing with your mommy,” he started.

“When did you argue with my mommy?” Lu Yunbing promptly questioned in return.

“I'm not arguing with her! As I've said, that isn't true! It's merely a cold war!” Nan Xing grew agitated once more.

“In that case, why are you worried that we would say such a thing? Mommy wouldn't argue with you since she doesn't even bother with you,” Lu Yunbing retorted disdainfully.

Such frustration gripped Nan Xing that he was seized by the urge to bang his head against the wall.

Unfortunately, he was in the car right then. There was no wall for him to bang against.

“Can you not be so harsh with your words, Lu Yunbing?” Nan Xing roared.

Seeing that the man had truly blown up, Lu Yunbing sneered before turning to stare out the window. She no longer uttered a single word.

He was too weak, so she found it unnecessary to argue with him.

After all, it was pointless to go head-to-head with someone of a lower level.

Nan Xing begrudgingly continued, “Secondly, you must emphasize that my relationship with your mommy is exceedingly good and that we respect each other, never once having a disagreement.”

Following that, Lu Yunxue could no longer keep her opinion to herself. “Isn't it said that kids shouldn't lie, Mr. Nan? Why are you encouraging us to do so?”

Once more, Nan Xing was at a loss for words. He opened his mouth, but no words came.

“I'm not saying that you must lie. Anyway, just don't run your mouths. If you do, it would only affect your mommy, not me!”

By the time he finished speaking, they had also arrived at the restaurant.

The driver pulled over. Nan Xing straightened his white suit before alighting from the car with the twin girls.

Previously in the capital, Lu Tiance treated him to a meal at a retro private dining restaurant.

Thus, he made a reservation at a restaurant of a similar style during Lu Tiance's visit this time.

There were few patrons, and the atmosphere was quiet. It appeared low-key but cost a mint.

Lu Tiance's identity was unique. As such, he was unsuited to dine at an overly noisy or high-end restaurant.

“Uncle Tiance!”

As soon as Lu Yunxue got out of the car, she sprinted into the restaurant.

She had long since had enough of Nan Xing.
