My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 872

Chapter 872 Nonsense

Nan Xing thought Lu Jingyuan would try to appease him by saying he was an okay person after he questioned her.

Thus, he was surprised when she replied straightforwardly, “There's no part of you that meets my standards,” without considering his feelings.

Nan Xing grew flustered.

What? Humiliating much? What does she mean by that? Is she indicating that I'm useless and incompetent? Does Lu Jingyuan think that I'm a good-for-nothing?

He was so frustrated he laughed. “Am I a good-for-nothing in your eyes, Ms. Lu?”

Lu Jingyuan's silence was a tacit confirmation that Nan Xing had made the correct guess.

Ning Ran, who had defended Lu Jingyuan since the start, felt embarrassed. She didn't expect Lu Jingyuan to look down on Nan Xing.

To her, Nan Xing wasn't a useless man. Even though he lacked the capabilities and the ability to think of the bigger picture as Nan Chen did, he was still the deputy CEO of Nanshi Corporation. The position Nan Xing held could not be secured by nepotism, and there were many complicated things he had to deal with.

Therefore, if one were to judge from the capabilities viewpoint, Nan Xing was ahead of most rich young men. Although he might not be as capable as Nan Chen, it was confirmed that he had real talent and was comparable to others.

It's not fair for Jingyuan to think so lowly of Nan Xing!

Ning Ran coughed to lighten the atmosphere. “Nan Xing, don't overthink. Jingyuan didn't mean it that way.”

Her words comforted Nan Xing while hinting that she disagreed with Lu Jingyuan's views.

Mocking Nan Xing occasionally is fine, but we can't shun or hurt his ego. After all, he helped me a lot, and I know he is a good man.

Ning Ran found herself occasionally thinking that it would be exceptional news if Lu Jingyuan and Nan Xing fell in love with each other, for they matched perfectly. They were good people with attractive faces and came from influential families.

However, the reality was far from her imagination. It would never have crossed Ning Ran's mind that they would hate each other's guts so much.

Yes, Nan Xing is the host here, but I was the one who suggested having dinner together. They are both my guests. I can't let them get all hot-headed, continuing their fight. If not, things would end badly.

Smart enough to notice the hidden meaning behind Ning Ran's words, Lu Jingyuan knew Ning Ran was trying to stop her from speaking further, so she kept quiet.

Meanwhile, Nan Xing was in a fit of anger. He didn't care about the consequences. “Ning Ran, I want to listen to your words and stop, but I think she meant what she said! No one had ever spoken of me this way in Flower City!”

“So, are you claiming yourself as a local? Isn't that a bit of a joke?” Lu Jingyuan retorted.

“I know you are from the capital, so you think lowly of our city! Why don't you return to your place and never show up here again?” Nan Xing grumbled.

“This city does not belong to you, and I'm here to visit Ran. I can come and go as I wish. What can you do about that?”

Ning Ran was taken aback. Both of them came from wealthy and powerful backgrounds, so why did they start arguing like schoolchildren?

They are so childish, seemingly putting their reputations as upper-class noblemen and socialites behind them. I thought I was the commoner here, not expecting these two to act like ordinary citizens while fighting verbally.

Ning Ran was amused yet exasperated by the situation.

“Wait! Please stop fighting for my sake, all right? I'm a commoner, so it's normal for me to fight with others, but both of you are from influential families. How embarrassing it would be if someone witnessed you two fighting in a place like this?” Ning Ran laughed.

Lu Jingyuan and Nan Xing snorted coldly without speaking.

Seeing this, Ning Ran raised her glass. “Come on. Let's drink and calm down, okay? Why did the matchmaking session turn into a fight?”

Nan Xing and Lu Jingyuan caved in as they lifted their glasses unwillingly. Then, they gulped down their drinks without clinking glasses.

Ning Ran wanted to advise them to drink slowly, but it was too late.

She probed, “Shall we continue the topic?”

“Of course! Why not?” Nan Xing answered loudly.

His booming voice took Ning Ran by surprise. “Why are you so agitated?”

“I refuse to believe that.” Nan Xing chuckled. He poured the wine into his glass and finished them in one go.

Ning Ran stared at him, unable to fathom the meaning behind his words.

“Lu Jingyuan, I hereby announce that I'm going to pursue you!”

Nan Xing's words stunned both Lu Jingyuan and Ning Ran.

The latter couldn't help but wonder whether he was drunk or crazed from his anger. Is this a result of his drunken and crazed state?

“What did you say?” Lu Jingyuan was in disbelief.

Nan Xing enunciated, “I'll say it again! I want to pursue you!”

“So, ore you cloiming yourself os o locol? Isn't thot o bit of o joke?” Lu Jingyuon retorted.

“I know you ore from the copitol, so you think lowly of our city! Why don't you return to your ploce ond never show up here ogoin?” Non Xing grumbled.

“This city does not belong to you, ond I'm here to visit Ron. I con come ond go os I wish. Whot con you do obout thot?”

Ning Ron wos token obock. Both of them come from weolthy ond powerful bockgrounds, so why did they stort orguing like schoolchildren?

They ore so childish, seemingly putting their reputotions os upper-closs noblemen ond sociolites behind them. I thought I wos the commoner here, not expecting these two to oct like ordinory citizens while fighting verbolly.

Ning Ron wos omused yet exosperoted by the situotion.

“Woit! Pleose stop fighting for my soke, oll right? I'm o commoner, so it's normol for me to fight with others, but both of you ore from influentiol fomilies. How emborrossing it would be if someone witnessed you two fighting in o ploce like this?” Ning Ron loughed.

Lu Jingyuon ond Non Xing snorted coldly without speoking.

Seeing this, Ning Ron roised her gloss. “Come on. Let's drink ond colm down, okoy? Why did the motchmoking session turn into o fight?”

Non Xing ond Lu Jingyuon coved in os they lifted their glosses unwillingly. Then, they gulped down their drinks without clinking glosses.

Ning Ron wonted to odvise them to drink slowly, but it wos too lote.

She probed, “Sholl we continue the topic?”

“Of course! Why not?” Non Xing onswered loudly.

His booming voice took Ning Ron by surprise. “Why ore you so ogitoted?”

“I refuse to believe thot.” Non Xing chuckled. He poured the wine into his gloss ond finished them in one go.

Ning Ron stored ot him, unoble to fothom the meoning behind his words.

“Lu Jingyuon, I hereby onnounce thot I'm going to pursue you!”

Non Xing's words stunned both Lu Jingyuon ond Ning Ron.

The lotter couldn't help but wonder whether he wos drunk or crozed from his onger. Is this o result of his drunken ond crozed stote?

“Whot did you soy?” Lu Jingyuon wos in disbelief.

Non Xing enuncioted, “I'll soy it ogoin! I wont to pursue you!”

Confused by Nan Xing's words, Lu Jingyuan shifted her gaze to Ning Ran. “Is he drunk? Or is he insane?”

Ning Ran couldn't figure out what was happening either.

I don't think he's drunk. Nan Xing hasn't even finished one bottle of red wine. Maybe he's lost his mind. But wait, that's not possible. He speaks and thinks clearly. No, he is definitely not crazy.

“I'm not drunk nor crazy! I'm going to pursue you. You look down on me, right, thinking that I'm useless? Well then, I'm going to make you fall in love with me and abandon you, so you will regret crossing me in the first place!”

Now that the man had gotten all worked up, all of his statements were authoritative.

That was one of Nan Xing's strong points. He wasn't a manipulative, tricky man that kept things hidden in his heart. He would speak his mind if anything was bothering him.

If the same circumstances happened to another scheming man, he would never make his intention to abandon the woman he had just announced that he was going to pursue in front of her. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Hah...” Lu Jingyuan laughed in exasperation. “Immature prick!”

Ning Ran agreed with Lu Jingyuan's comment about Nan Xing. She, too, found his declaration childish.

It seemed like Nan Xing had another idea, though. He continued aggressively, “I will follow you home to the capital tomorrow to meet your parents. I'll tell them I'm your boyfriend before bringing you back

here. Then, I'll get Chen to arrange an appropriate job for you in Nanshi Corporation so you can settle down. If nothing goes wrong, I'll start pursuing you then and will do so until I succeed.”

With smugness written all over Nan Xing's face, he was confident that he had everything in his control and that Lu Jingyuan was already his.

“Hah!” Lu Jingyuan sneered. “Okay, but you must convince my brother before I can leave the capital with you. That would be the hardest thing for you to do because you are incompetent. My brother hates shallow and frivolous people like you.”

Ning Ran was amazed by what she heard. She said yes? Is she getting together with Nan Xing? If Nan Xing successfully relocates Jingyuan, it would be great news to me, Dabao, and Erbao. I can meet Jingyuan frequently while they get to be with their best friends, Yunxue and Yunbing.

“Okay. It's a deal! I'll pursue you until I succeed before abandoning you!” Nan Xing was excited. He then grabbed the decanter and gulped the remaining wine down in one shot.
