Chapter 673
However, Nan Chen didn''t want to continue arguing with Ning Ran, so he remained silent.
He vaguely sensed that she was exhibiting signs of the so-called emotion of jealousy.
Unlike Nan Xing, he had few scandals and rarely had any romantic entanglements with women, so he
had little knowledge regarding jealousy and the like.
In other words, he wouldn''t be bothered even if women were to be jealous because of him since he
was all too powerful.
Thus, he was indeed pretty dense when it came to discerning women''s emotions.
His own emotions were far more important to him, so how others felt didn''t matter much to him.
However, things were seemingly different then. He started growing concerned over Ning Ran''s
reaction.
That was why he spent so much effort exining things to her, rambling throughout the drive.
Interestingly, he discovered that too many exnations couldn''t calm her down. Conversely, she would
be even more emotional and object all the more vehemently.
Therefore, he decided to revert to his usual style and remain silent, allowing her to interpret things
however she liked.
Consequently, Ning Ran went silent.
She wasn''t insane, so she couldn''t prattle on alone.
When the car reached the entrance of Mountview Inn, Lu Jingyuan also happened to arrive in her car.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
As soon as her two children alighted from the car, Lu Yunxue dashed over to Nan Chen. “You''re here,
Mr. Handsome?”
She was one of those who treated someone ording to his looks, so she addressed the man as “Mr.
Handsome” directly instead of “Mr. Nan.”
“Hello, Yunxue,” Nan Chen replied gently, for once.
Lu Yunbing, on the other hand, was much more serious. Bowing slightly, she inclined her head a
fraction and greeted politely, “Hello, Mr. Nan.”
Inside the house, Erbao heard their voices and came flying out.
“Mommy, Daddy, Ms. Lu, Yunxue, Yunbing... you''re here!”
It wasn''t easy for her to greet so many people in a single breath, but fortunately, she still managed to
do it.
As though long-lost friends, Erbao and Lu Yunxue hugged each other and twirled around in circles. The
adorable sight had Ning Ran and Lu Jingyuan smiling from ear to ear.
Mountview Inn was established by Lu Jingyuan, while Ning Ran and Nan Chen were merely renting it.
For that reason, Lu Jingyuan was actually more familiar with the ce than they were.
The food was prepared by the chef Nan Chen brought over because Erbao loved that chef''s cooking
the most.
She was especially hooked on the desserts he made.
When the food was served, even Lu Jingyuan praised the fare to the skies, saying that it was incredibly
delicious.
They all chatted as they ate. Erbao ate the fastest, for she was in a hurry to finish eating and proceed
to the next segment—gift-giving.
Nan Chen had many presents prepared, including dolls, books, children''sputers, and also snacks.
Erbao took them out one by one, gifting them to Lu Yunxue and Lu Yunbing personally.
Even the usually indifferent Lu Yunbing was touched. For the first time, she hugged Erbao, her eyes
red-rimmed.
Puzzlement deluged Ning Ran. “Why is Yunbing crying?”
Lu Jingyuan wasn''t quite sure what was happening either. “She seldom allows her emotions to show.
What''s going on here?”
Lu Yunbing''s eyes were merely red-rimmed at first, but after she heard that exchange, tears escaped
her eyes.
Erbao promptly panicked. “What''s wrong? Do you not like these presents? What do you like, then? I''ll
give it to you. Dabao and I will give you anything you want as long as it''s something we have.”
Lu Yunbing shook her head but said nothing.
Nan Chen had been observing from the side, but he kept silent as well, for he couldn''t figure out what
was wrong with Lu Yunbing.
Finally, someone spoke. It was Dabao, who hadn''t said anything thus far.
Walking over to Lu Yunbing, he took her hand and patted the back of it in constion. “We''re only
giving you presents. We''re not leaving.”
Lu Yunbing, who had been keeping her head hung low, lifted her head and looked at him. She sought
confirmation with her eyes.
In response, Dabao nodded. “We''re really not leaving. At least, not for the time being. We''re only giving
you presents to express our fondness for you, not to bid you farewell.”
Only then did Lu Yunbing lower her head once more. She stroked the plush doll Erbao gave her, the
sorrow on her face gone without a trace.
Everyone gaped at Dabao, amazed beyond words.
What''s a soulmate? This is exactly it! And who said he''s young? He''s far more astute than us all. No
one could unravel the mystery, but he saw right through it!
“I had a feeling, but I didn''t dare voice it,” Lu Yunxue remarked btedly.
Nevertheless, it might also be true since she was Lu Yunbing''s twin. As such, they naturally understood
each other better than others.
However, Lu Yunbing was more withdrawn in nature. It was entirely possible that Lu Yunxue fathomed
her sister''s thoughts but didn''t dare voice them.
As though to prove that, Lu Yunbing swung her gaze over, scaring Lu Yunxue so much that she hastily
zipped her mouth.
“Don''t worry. We haven''t finished filming yet. Even when we do finish filming, we''ll tell you before
leaving,” Ning Ran assured smilingly.
A tad embarrassed after Dabao exposed her, Lu Yunbing shot to her feet and ran off.
Both Dabao and Erbao chased after her. Lu Yunxue likewise started moving and chased after them
from behind.
All four children went off to y by themselves. Hence, only Ning Ran, Nan Chen, and Lu Jingyuan
remained at the dining table.
“The kids are already attached to each other. How rare!” Ning Ranmented.
“Yeah. I didn''t expect Yunbing to be so attached. She rarely acts like that. Right now, I feel somewhat
guilty. Perhaps I like living in Livingsfill, but they might not necessarily like it. The same goes for my
way of living at present. It''s only to my liking, but unnecessarily theirs. I''ve never asked them for their
opinion. Maybe I''ve really been too selfish.”
Lu Jingyuan appeared rather despondent.
“That isn''t true. I can tell that they''re also very happy,” Ning Ran consoled.
However, Lu Jingyuan shook her head. “Thinking about it now, they haven''t been all that happy. This is
a small town, so most of the children here are locals. Many of them speak the local dialect, but my two
kids can''t speak it. A few times, I asked them what exactly happened when they had conflicts with other
children at the kindergarten, but they refused to say anything. I suspect they might have been bullied.
Well, girls are prone to being targets of bullying anyway, much less Yunbing who''s entric and
doesn''t fit in. Thus, she hardly has any friends. Now, she finally has Dabao and Erbao to keep her
company. That''s why she''s worried that you''ll all leave anytime.”
Nan Chen couldn''t empathize with that, for he was too powerful. He had no idea how it felt to be picked
on.
More urately speaking, he had only ever been the aggressor, so he couldn''t understand the feeling
of being on the receiving end of bullying.
Contrarily, Ning Ran knew that Lu Jingyuan must have faced many indescribable difficulties when she
was a single mother raising two daughters.
No matter how strong she was, she was still a woman at the end of the day.
And regardless of how strong a woman was, there were many things men could easily aplish that
a woman couldn''t do.
“In that case, why don''t you leave with us? Aren''t you a designer? Look for a job in Flower City and put
down roots there. Then, the kids can grow up together. What do you think?” Such an idea urred to
Ning Ran out of the blue.
