Chapter 884 A Handsome One
Nan Xing never planned to drink himself into oblivion, but as a man, he could not chicken out under such circumstances. Thus, he ended up getting drunk, egged by Lu Tiance.
Therefore, he did not know how he was going to answer Lu Yunbing's question about why he was inebriated.
"We're not talking about why I'm drinking that much; we're talking about the issue of me not having clean clothes to change into,” Nan Xing said, trying to divert her attention back to the original topic. However, Lu Yunbing was no normal child, and her focus would not so easily be redirected.
“So you don't even know why you got drunk. You won't learn your lesson this way, and you're definitely going to get drunk again. You're refusing to reflect on yourself, and that is bad!” Lu Yunbing chided.
Lu Yunbing had been reprimanding Nan Xing the moment they stepped into his room, and Lu Yunxue was starting to feel left out. Hastily, she chimed in, “That's right, that's right! It's bad!”
Nan Xing was close to tears. He wondered what deity he had crossed that day to be continuously chided by two children after a night of heavy drinking. Do you think I don't know drinking that much is bad? I didn't want to either, but who knew Lu Tiance had such a good alcohol tolerance? "Okay, I know my mistake now, so stop right there. What I'm trying to say is that I don't have any clothes to change into right now, so can we think of a way to solve this first?” Nan Xing said.
Lu Yunbing turned to Nan Xing and asked, “Have you never been in a hotel before?”
“I have. Even when I'm still living with my family, I liked staying in hotels,” Nan Xing replied.
“Then don't you know that hotels have laundry service? Why can't you get the hotel staff to wash your clothes and dry them before sending them back to you?”
“I know about that, but that'll take some time.”
"Well, do you have any better plans? If not, shouldn't you be calling the reception right now to get started?” Lu Yunbing uttered.
Nan Xing felt stumped as if someone had wrung his brain of its juice.
He was at a loss for words, so he meekly made the call to the reception to get the hotel staff to bring his clothes to wash.
Meanwhile, Lu Yunxue glanced at Lu Yunbing and sighed. “Yunbing, this man looks handsome, but he's no good. He needs you to make decisions for him. Not only will you have to take care of me in the future, but you'll also have to take care of him. You'll be exhausted!”
Lu Yunbing nodded expressionlessly. “Yes, this man won't do. We can't go with him.”
Hearing that, Nan Xing narrowed his eyes. “What do you mean?”
“Uncle Tiance sent us here to check on you and test you. He wants to find out whether or not Mommy and us should go with you to Flower City. It seems like not only are you a lousy drinker, but you're also not a capable person. Moreover, you're not very polite. We're going to fail you. You're not suitable to be Mommy's boyfriend,” Lu Yunbing confessed.
Nan Xing blinked rapidly, confused. So, this is the second round of the test, and these two kids are the judge? And I failed?
Low alcohol tolerance. Incapable. Impolite. Those were the remarks from the little judges, and they destroyed his dignity.
Nan Xing was upset.
While he agreed that he was not as good of a drinker as Lu Tiance, he disagreed with how he was supposedly someone with no capabilities. After all, he was the deputy CEO of Nanshi Corporation, and he had handled several projects worth billions. Furthermore, he had bravely remained in Alendor for such a long time, so he could not believe that the girls were saying that he was incapable.
Lack of manners? He was a scion, and he often attended various social events. He had teachers teaching him all kinds of etiquette, so how could he possibly be impolite?
“Yunbing, look at him. He's refusing to accept this outcome,” Lu Yunxue pointed out to her sister. Sure enough, Nan Xing did not look particularly great at the moment. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was glaring at the two children. His lips were parted, for he did not know whether or not he should retort to their accusations.
If he was too serious about it and argued with two kids, he would seem petty and childish However, if he did not say anything in retaliation, it would mean silently agreeing with the children’s comment about him being someone with a low tolerance for alcohol, poor abilities, and a lack of manners.
“Forget it. Let's go. We're going to tell Uncle Tiance that this man won't do.” Wearing a grim expression, Lu Yunbing turned to leave the room.
No way! How can I just let them go like this? If I let them go, Lu Tiance would never let me take Lu Jingyuan with me. If I can't take her with me, all my efforts and my hangover would've been for naught! Moreover, Lu Jingyuan and Ning Ran are definitely going to laugh at me upon finding out about this. This moment will be a humiliating stain in my history!
With those thoughts in mind, Nan Xing promptly stopped the children and cried out, “Wait! Please listen to what I have to say first.”
"How dare you stop me? I'm going to tell my uncle about what you're doing,” Lu Yunbing hissed. Nan Xing had to admit that the girl was far more arrogant and overbearing than most adults he met.
“No, no, I'm not stopping you. I'm trying to tell you something. You can leave after hearing my explanation,” Nan Xing quickly said in a humble tone, not daring to offend them.
The sisters shared a look before the younger twin said, “He's Erbao’s uncle, so we might as well give him a chance to speak on her account.”
Nan Xing nearly had a heart attack there and then. Oh my god, so I'm only getting a chance to speak because of my niece? Why is this happening to me?
Lu Yunbing mulled over that somberly and nodded. “Okay. What do you have to say?"
“Don't you think you should be giving me a chance to speak even if it's not for Erbao’s sake?” Nan Xing mumbled.
“Are you going to say it or not?”
"Yes, yes, I'll talk,” Nan Xing hastily replied.
He felt miserable. He could not afford to anger the adults, and it seemed like he could not afford to cross the children too
“Well, I'll admit that I'm a poor drinker in comparison to your uncle, but there's a reason for it. He drinks Erguotou often, but I don't usually drink that. I usually drink red wine, which has lesser alcohol content. That's why I was drunk...”
“You're full of nonsense,” Lu Yunbing remarked. Lu Yunxue nodded in agreement before parroting, "Nonsense!"
Nan Xing slowly inhaled to tamp down his irritation. “I'm also working as an important member of the company with a fine performance. Although I don't have outstanding achievements, I haven't made any major mistakes, so I'm a qualified executive. Thirdly, while it's true that I shouldn't be greeting my guest in my pajamas, I was drunk. This is an exception, and you can't say that I'm rude because of that.”
"Are you done?” Lu Yunbing asked.
"Oh, yes.” Nan Xing sighed.
"Why are you telling us these?”
Nan Xing parted his lips, but once again, no words came out of his mouth.
"Aren't you a grown-up? Yet you're running your mouth to two kids just to prove that you're an excellent person. Even Dabao's more mature than you are,” Lu Yunbing mercilessly told him.
Nan Xing could only gape in silence as he received verbal attacks from Lu Yunbing.
He was only given a chance to speak because of Erbao, and yet, they were saying that he was not as mature as Dabao after he gave them his explanation.
So, my status in society is worse than those two kids at home? Nan Xing was starting to doubt himself.
Lu Yunbing shook her head and sighed.
Lu Yunxue mimicked her sister and gave Nan Xing a look of pity before heading out with Lu Yunbing.
He looks handsome, but why is he so dumb? the younger twin mused.
