My Wife Is a Superstar

Chapter 885 First Encounter

Lu Jingyuan arrived at the hotel room and found her two daughters walking out, with Nan Xing following behind in a robe. He kept repeating, “Let me explain...”

What's happening? Why does he need to explain himself? Did Nan Xing bully my precious daughters?

"What are you doing? Why are you scaring my daughters?” she demanded.

“I will never dare bully them. They're the ones bullying me. They said I have a low alcohol tolerance, no ability, and no manners. Can you persuade them to listen to my explanation?” Nan Xing pleaded. "What happened?” Lu Jingyuan asked Lu Yunbing.

The woman shook her head. “It's complicated.”

Lu Jingyuan raised her gaze toward Nan Xing and questioned, “Why are you wearing a robe? Who did you spend the night with?”

“I... 1 don't know,” said the disheveled Nan Xing, rubbing his head in confusion. He had no recollection of what happened as he had been heavily intoxicated and passed out. Upon waking up, Nan Xing realized that he was the only one in the room and had no memory of who had stayed with him the previous night.

“You don't know? You don't know who you were with?” Lu Jingyuan sneered.

“There wasn't anyone else. I was alone,” the man answered

"Why are you wearing a robe?”

“My clothes reek of alcohol, so I asked the hotel staff to wash them. I didn't have any other clothes to wear, so I had to wear this. Your daughters said I have no manners, but I didn't want to wear it in the first place. I had no choice,” Nan Xing explained helplessly.

Lu Jingyuan couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. She knew very well just how sharp-tongued her daughters could be, and from the looks of it, Nan Xing had probably been caught unaware. “Well, let's hear what he has to say for himself,” she said.

Lu Yunxue immediately agreed, “I think we should give him another chance.”

After all, she was rather fond of Nan Xing. He was less stern than most people she knew, which made him more likable in her eyes.

Plus, Lu Yunxue needed his help so she and her mother could leave the capital and study in Flower City.

While the capital was a nice place to live, her best friend, Erbao, was in Flower City. According to her, it was much warmer there. In fact, it hardly ever snowed during winter. Most of the time, it was warm, and even when it got hot, it wasn't as extreme as it could be in the capital.

For someone like Lu Yunxue, who was used to the warmth in Livingsfill, the capital was far too cold during winter and far too hot in summer.

Hence, being able to go to Flower City was the best thing for her.

After returning to the hotel room, Nan Xing explained the situation that led Lu Yunxue and her sister to come to see him. He hoped that Lu Jingyuan would be able to make a fair assessment. Unfortunately, Lu Jingyuan had no intention of making the decision herself. Instead, she handed the task to her two beloved daughters.

“My brother said that we will consider if both of you agree to go to the Flower City with him. But if one of you disagrees, then it's a no-go,” Lu Jingyuan explained.

Clearly, Nan Xing had to tread carefully with these interviewers.

If he wanted to make any headway, he would have to find a way to convince the two girls. "Ahem..." Nan Xing cleared his throat. “I'm actually not an impolite person. I received strict training in etiquette from a young age. Sometimes I appear casual because I don't see the need to pretend. People who act all prim and proper are usually not very pleasant.”

There was some truth to what he said, but it was also a way for him to boast about himself.

“So are you saying that Erbao's dad is not a good person? Uncle Nan Chen is a righteous man,” Lu Yunbing questioned mercilessly.

Nan Xing was inwardly crying out in frustration. What has this got to do with my brother? Can she stop her wild imagination? How am I supposed to continue the conversation?

“I'm not talking about my brother. He's born looking serious. I wasn't referring to him,” Nan Xing struggled to defend himself.

"You still haven't convinced us to go with you,” Lu Yunbing said curtly.

Right then, Nan Xing felt that life was difficult.

Lu Jingyuan shrugged her shoulders and spread her hands. “This is Tiance's idea. You must convince them before you can pass.”

The man was determined not to fail that day. He couldn't afford to be defeated by two little girls and forced to leave the capital. It would be too humiliating.

He knew he had to confront the challenge head-on and do whatever it takes to overcome it.

“You said that since I am Er Bao's uncle, you will forgive some of my unintentional mistakes. As long as you are willing to go to Flower City with me, I will let you attend the best school and become classmates with Dabao and Erbao. You can study and play together every day. Flower City is my territory. I will ensure that you can eat or play to your heart's content,” Nan Xing promised.

He was forced to make use of his little niece.

In Flower City, he was the well-known Master Xing, but in front of these two girls, his most important identity was just the uncle of Dabao and Erbao. All the other identities were not important.

Since that was the case, he decided to use Dabao and Erbao to persuade them.

His pitch was indeed effective for the girls glanced at each other, seeming a little tempted.

“Will you accompany them to watch movies?” Lu Yunxue asked.

“Yes,” Nan Xing replied.

“If Mommy is being bullied, will you stand up for her?” Lu Yunbing's question was more imposing. “Yes.” Nan Xing found that he was speaking sincerely when he said this.

“If you and my mommy have a fight, will you bully her?” Lu Yunbing questioned.

“No, absolutely not. I never bully women,” Nan Xing quickly assured.

“If your mom and my mommy fell into the water at the same time, who would you save first?” Lu Yunxue asked.

Lu Jingyuan chuckled at the tricky question, surmising that the girl might have been excessively influenced by television dramas.

"Save my mom first. My mom is older and can't stand the ordeal. Besides, your mommy can swim, so she won't be drowned for a while,” Nan Xing answered with a bitter expression.

He dared not lie because Lu Yunbing was staring at him.

“Yunbing, is his answer okay?” Lu Yunxue was also unsure of what answer she wanted.

“Let's just make do with it. The last question, if we don't want to stay in Flower City, will you personally send us back?" Lu Yunbing's question was truly unique and profound!

You are imploring us to go now, but if we change our minds later, will you still be courteous and send us back, or just let us fend for ourselves?

Even Lu Jingyuan was stunned. She did not expect her daughter to ask such a formidable question. When a boy pursued a girl, it was natural for him to swear to love her forever, but ultimately, out of a hundred, there was not even one couple who could grow old together.

Many couples split up halfway, and there were some who turned their backs and hurt each other. If only life were as simple as the first encounter.

Nan Xing was also stunned and felt the weight of the question. He thought carefully and said, “No matter what happens in the future, if you don't want to stay there anymore, I will personally take you back to Uncle Tiance's house. We will say goodbye and then part ways.”

Lu Jingyuan's eyes welled up with emotion as she heard Nan Xing's response. His words touched the most tender part of her heart.

"Okay, we'll go with you then,” Lu Yunbing finally agreed.

"Yay!" Nan Xing said ecstatically.
