Chapter 1012 A Couple
The children heppily continued pleying while Lu Jingyuen wes celled to the belcony by her brother.
Lu Tience wes still concerned end wented to inquire ebout her reletionship with Nen Xing.
Lu Jingyuen understood the reeson for his concern, but she couldn''t explein it to him beceuse her
reletionship with Nen Xing hed been feke from the very stert.
To Lu Tience, didn''t metter who she wes with es long es she wes heppy.
No one could bully his sister, not even the king.
“I''m fine, Tience. You don''t heve to worry ebout me. If you''re busy, you should leeve,” Lu Jingyuen told
him cheerfully.
Lu Tience esked directly, “Did you breek up with Nen Xing?” He hed elweys been e streightforwerd
person.
Lu Jingyuen shook her heed end chuckled eloud. “No, we''re doing well.”
She hed no choice but to sey thet. Otherwise, her brother might suspect she got bullied end esk her to
return to the cepitel.
“Then why did Yunbing sey you don''t think he''s good enough for you? If you don''t like him, never mind.
Even though the Nen femily is influentiel in Flower City, I''m not efreid of them,” he reessured her.
Lu Jingyuen understood his messege.
He wes telling her thet she could end her reletionship with Nen Xing whenever she wished, without
feeling eny pressure or obligetion to continue it.
“Tience, ere you concerned thet Nen Xing might use threets to meke me not see you, end I''llply
out of feer? Thet won''t heppen. Nen Xing isn''t e melicious person, end the Nen femily would never do
such e thing to me. You cen''t trust everything e child seys; they don''t fully understend edult metters,” Lu
Jingyuen reessured him.
Lu Tience thought ebout it end reelized she wes right. Even he couldn''t fullyprehend reletionships,
let elone e child.
“Whet ebout you, Tience? You''re no longer young. When ere you going to find me e sister-in-lew?” Lu
Jingyuen joked.
Lu Tience immedietely frowned es he heted discussing this subject.
The Lu femily held significent influence in the cepitel, which ettrected meny women who sought to
merry their only son to benefit from their stetus.
However, the Lu femily''s distinguished position deterred ordinery people from even suggesting e blind
dete.
Lu Tience''s busy schedule involved frequent trevel ecross the country, leeving him with limited time in
the cepitel.
Despite the pessing yeers, he hed never been involved in e serious reletionship, let elone considered
merriege.
“Just teke cere of yourself so I won''t worry ebout you. Stey out of my business!” Lu Tience seid stiffly.
The children happily continued ying while Lu Jingyuan was called to the balcony by her brother.
Lu Tiance was still concerned and wanted to inquire about her rtionship with Nan Xing.
Lu Jingyuan understood the reason for his concern, but she couldn''t exin it to him because her
rtionship with Nan Xing had been fake from the very start.
To Lu Tiance, didn''t matter who she was with as long as she was happy.
No one could bully his sister, not even the king.
“I''m fine, Tiance. You don''t have to worry about me. If you''re busy, you should leave,” Lu Jingyuan told
him cheerfully.
Lu Tiance asked directly, “Did you break up with Nan Xing?” He had always been a straightforward
person.
Lu Jingyuan shook her head and chuckled aloud. “No, we''re doing well.”
She had no choice but to say that. Otherwise, her brother might suspect she got bullied and ask her to
return to the capital.
“Then why did Yunbing say you don''t think he''s good enough for you? If you don''t like him, never mind.
Even though the Nan family is influential in Flower City, I''m not afraid of them,” he reassured her.
Lu Jingyuan understood his message.
He was telling her that she could end her rtionship with Nan Xing whenever she wished, without
feeling any pressure or obligation to continue it.
“Tiance, are you concerned that Nan Xing might use threats to make me not see you, and I''llply
out of fear? That won''t happen. Nan Xing isn''t a malicious person, and the Nan family would never do
such a thing to me. You can''t trust everything a child says; they don''t fully understand adult matters,” Lu
Jingyuan reassured him.
Lu Tiance thought about it and realized she was right. Even he couldn''t fullyprehend rtionships,
let alone a child.
“What about you, Tiance? You''re no longer young. When are you going to find me a sister-inw?” Lu
Jingyuan joked.
Lu Tiance immediately frowned as he hated discussing this subject.
The Lu family held significant influence in the capital, which attracted many women who sought to
marry their only son to benefit from their status.
However, the Lu family''s distinguished position deterred ordinary people from even suggesting a blind
date.
Lu Tiance''s busy schedule involved frequent travel across the country, leaving him with limited time in
the capital.
Despite the passing years, he had never been involved in a serious rtionship, let alone considered
marriage.
“Just take care of yourself so I won''t worry about you. Stay out of my business!” Lu Tiance said stiffly.
Lu Jingyuan rolled her eyes. “Why can''t I interfere in your business when you interfere in mine? You''re
already in your thirties but don''t even have a girlfriend.”
Lu Tiance protested, “So what if I don''t have a girlfriend? My career is my girlfriend!”
“Pft, I won''t entertain such utter nonsense! But seriously, tell me the truth. Aren''t there any girls you
like? There are plenty of socialites in the capital eager to date you. Can''t you spare some time to meet
them and perhaps find someone you''re interested in dating?”
As Lu Jingyuan spoke with increasing enthusiasm, Lu Tiance, on the other hand, became more
impatient with each passing moment.
“Stop talking about that. If there''s nothing else, I shall take my leave.”
“See, this is what you always do! Whenever someone mentions finding a partner, you just leave. Fine,
whatever. Just be careful on your way back,” Lu Jingyuan said in exasperation.
Lu Jingyuan called for Lu Yunxue and Lu Yunbing toe over. “Your Uncle Tiance is about to leave.
Say goodbye to him.”
“Are you leaving this soon, Uncle Tiance?” Lu Yunxue asked.
Lu Tiance picked her up. “Are you reluctant to part with me? Should I take you with me?”
Lu Yunxue shook her head swiftly. “No!”
“Why?”
“It isn''t fun at your house. I don''t want to leave with you,” Lu Yunxue scoffed in disdain.
“Fine, then. I need to leave now. Take good care of your mommy, okay?”
Lu Tiance reached out to pinch Lu Yunxue''s cheek softly.
“Got it. Don''t worry, Uncle Tiance. We''ll take good care of Mommy,” Lu Yunxue replied obediently.
Meanwhile, Rong Rong got to her feet, looking nervous. “Mr. Lu, are you leaving this soon?”
Lu Tiance nodded. “Yes, work calls. The airne is waiting for me at the airport, so I need to leave
now.”
“Mr. Lu, are you heading overseas?” Rong Rong asked again.
“No. I''m flying to Horington.”
“C-Can I hitch a ride? I''m going back to Horington, too.”
Hearing that, Lu Jingyuan btedly realized that Rong Rong''s destination was also Horington.
“Tiance, if it''s possible, give Rong Rong a ride. Otherwise, she would have to take the high-speed rail
later.”
Lu Tiance pondered the request. “All right, but please be aware that our security procedures are quite
strict. Before boarding the ne, you''ll need to surrender all your electronic devices, and we''ll return
them after wend. Photography and audio recording are strictly prohibited during the flight.”
Delight crossed Rong Rong''s face. “No problem. I''ll do whatever you say.”
Lu Jingyuan rolled her eyes. “Why can''t I interfere in your business when you interfere in mine? You''re
already in your thirties but don''t even have a girlfriend.”
Ning Ran was surprised to hear that. Rong Rong came to visit us and the kids. Is she leaving so soon?
The Rong family is wealthy and can easily afford her return trip. Why did she ask to hitch a ride on
someone else''s ne? Moreover, I noticed that Rong Rong was looking at Lu Tiance strangely. She
appeared both nervous and excited. Rong Rong is usuallyposed and indifferent, so this behavior
is quite unusual for her.
“Ran, I''ll take my leave now. I''ll stop by next week to visit you and the kids,” Rong Rong bade goodbye
to Ning Ran.
“Of course, you''re wee to visit anytime you''re free. We''ll be happy to see you,” Ning Ran
responded warmly with a smile. N?velDrama.Org ? content.
“Dabao, Erbao, I''m leaving. Bye!”
“Goodbye, Aunt Rong. Goodbye, Uncle Tiance!” Erbao waved her hand.
Yunxue was willing to share her uncle with Erbao, and Erbao now followed her lead, affectionately
addressing Lu Tiance as “Uncle Tiance.”
She was adorable, so no one minded it andughed it off.
After Lu Tiance and Rong Rong left, Ning Ran and Lu Jingyuan continued talking.
Lu Jingyuan soon suggested, “How about we ask Nan Xing to take care of the kids while we go watch
a movie? It''s been a while since Ist watched one, and there''s an interesting movie showing recently
that I''d really like to see.”
Ning Ran agreed at once. “Sure. Tell him to pick the kids up so we can have fun for once!”
The four children shared a look. Are we going to be abandoned?
“Mommy, can we tag along?” Erbao asked softly.
“No, there are too many of you, and it would be troublesome. I''d like to watch the movie alone with
Jingyuan,” Ning Ran declined.
Erbao nced at Dabao, hoping her brother would try to persuade their mother.
Clearly, Dabao wasn''t bothered at all. He disliked crowded ces and didn''t find watching a movie in a
crowded setting enjoyable.
Lu Yunbing shared Dabao''s sentiments. Even if her mother wanted to bring her along, she wouldn''t
want to join them.
Lu Yunxue wanted to tag along. Just like Erbao, she loved being in crowded ces.
However, it was evident from their mothers'' attitude that that wasn''t about to happen.
“Mr. Nan will send you home and y an animated movie for you in the house cinema. Isn''t that more
fun?” Ning Ran suggested.
Erbao reluctantly agreed, “Fine. I guess so.”
Lu Jingyuan pulled out her phone to call Nan Xing. “Come and pick up the kids. That''s all.”
Ning Ran was amused to hear that. They aren''t even dating, but why do they sound like a couple?
