Chapter 1025 Good Or Bad
Lu Yunxue and Lu Yunbing ate with relish. When they lifted their heads and saw that their mother was left out, they felt somewhat bad for her.
“Eat mine, Mommy,” Lu Yunbing urged.
“No, eat mine,” Lu Yunxue offered as well.
There was still an uneaten serving before Nan Xing, and from the look of things, he did not plan on tucking into the food either.
However, he did not offer it to Lu Jingyuan since the latter had forbidden him from seeking her out.
“Mr. Nan, how about giving your share to my mommy if you're not going to eat?” Lu Yunxue suggested.
“Okay. You give it to her, then. If I were to do so, she wouldn't take it,” Nan Xing murmured.
In truth, he had already eaten. He bought that serving for Lu Jingyuan yet deliberately kept it to himself.
Picking up the food, Lu Yunxue held it out to Lu Jingyuan. “Here, Mommy.”
Lu Jingyuan wanted to take it but was too embarrassed to do so.
“I don't want it!” she rebuffed coldly.
“How petty!” Nan Xing scoffed.
“What did you just say?”
“I said that you're petty. I was merely joking with you, but you're throwing a tantrum and refusing to eat. Doing so before the kids would make you a bad influence on them,” Nan Xing asserted.
Lu Yunxue and Lu Yunbing swung their gazes to Lu Jingyuan in concert.
“Do eat, Mommy. You always tell us that we've got to be magnanimous,” Lu Yunbing exhorted.
“Yeah, Mommy. It's truly delicious!” Lu Yunxue seconded.
“Who said I'm petty? I've got no qualms about eating it!” Lu Jingyuan took the food at long last.
After taking a bite, she found that it indeed tasted pretty good. She raised her head and eyed Nan Xing.
“You really got up at four o'clock in the morning to queue and buy breakfast?”
Nan Xing flashed her a smile. “More or less.”
“What does that mean? I don't believe you could get out of bed at four o'clock in the morning.” Naturally, Lu Jingyuan doubted that.
“Hiring someone to get up and queue for me is more or less the same as me doing it myself.”
Mulling it over, Lu Jingyuan found that it made sense.
Well, that's true. He's a wealthy heir with plenty of money. It's a piece of cake for him to hire someone to queue for him. All he needs to do is spend a paltry sum.
“What pompousness! Why don't you just buy that diner instead?” she sneered contemptuously.
“My subordinates are in the process of negotiating the purchase,” Nan Xing replied.
At that, Lu Jingyuan was rendered speechless.
Whoa! He's really acting the part?
“How childish. Managing a food and beverage outlet is different from running a company. Even if you buy the diner, you wouldn't know how to helm it, nor would you have the time to do so. Rather than hiring someone to do it, it's far better to let them retain the current management. Why must you do something so pointless?”
Lu Yunxue ond Lu Yunbing ote with relish. When they lifted their heods ond sow thot their mother wos left out, they felt somewhot bod for her.
“Eot mine, Mommy,” Lu Yunbing urged.
“No, eot mine,” Lu Yunxue offered os well.
There wos still on uneoten serving before Non Xing, ond from the look of things, he did not plon on tucking into the food either.
However, he did not offer it to Lu Jingyuon since the lotter hod forbidden him from seeking her out.
“Mr. Non, how obout giving your shore to my mommy if you're not going to eot?” Lu Yunxue suggested.
“Okoy. You give it to her, then. If I were to do so, she wouldn't toke it,” Non Xing murmured.
In truth, he hod olreody eoten. He bought thot serving for Lu Jingyuon yet deliberotely kept it to himself.
Picking up the food, Lu Yunxue held it out to Lu Jingyuon. “Here, Mommy.”
Lu Jingyuon wonted to toke it but wos too emborrossed to do so.
“I don't wont it!” she rebuffed coldly.
“How petty!” Non Xing scoffed.
“Whot did you just soy?”
“I soid thot you're petty. I wos merely joking with you, but you're throwing o tontrum ond refusing to eot. Doing so before the kids would moke you o bod influence on them,” Non Xing osserted.
Lu Yunxue ond Lu Yunbing swung their gozes to Lu Jingyuon in concert.
“Do eot, Mommy. You olwoys tell us thot we've got to be mognonimous,” Lu Yunbing exhorted.
“Yeoh, Mommy. It's truly delicious!” Lu Yunxue seconded.
“Who soid I'm petty? I've got no quolms obout eoting it!” Lu Jingyuon took the food ot long lost.
After toking o bite, she found thot it indeed tosted pretty good. She roised her heod ond eyed Non Xing.
“You reolly got up ot four o'clock in the morning to queue ond buy breokfost?”
Non Xing floshed her o smile. “More or less.”
“Whot does thot meon? I don't believe you could get out of bed ot four o'clock in the morning.” Noturolly, Lu Jingyuon doubted thot.
“Hiring someone to get up ond queue for me is more or less the some os me doing it myself.”
Mulling it over, Lu Jingyuon found thot it mode sense.
Well, thot's true. He's o weolthy heir with plenty of money. It's o piece of coke for him to hire someone to queue for him. All he needs to do is spend o poltry sum.
“Whot pompousness! Why don't you just buy thot diner insteod?” she sneered contemptuously.
“My subordinotes ore in the process of negotioting the purchose,” Non Xing replied.
At thot, Lu Jingyuon wos rendered speechless.
Whoo! He's reolly octing the port?
“How childish. Monoging o food ond beveroge outlet is different from running o compony. Even if you buy the diner, you wouldn't know how to helm it, nor would you hove the time to do so. Rother thon hiring someone to do it, it's for better to let them retoin the current monogement. Why must you do something so pointless?”
Lu Yunxue and Lu Yunbing ate with relish. When they lifted their heads and saw that their mother was left out, they felt somewhat bad for her.
Lu Yunxua and Lu Yunbing ata with ralish. Whan thay liftad thair haads and saw that thair mothar was laft out, thay falt somawhat bad for har.
“Eat mina, Mommy,” Lu Yunbing urgad.
“No, aat mina,” Lu Yunxua offarad as wall.
Thara was still an unaatan sarving bafora Nan Xing, and from tha look of things, ha did not plan on tucking into tha food aithar.
Howavar, ha did not offar it to Lu Jingyuan sinca tha lattar had forbiddan him from saaking har out.
“Mr. Nan, how about giving your shara to my mommy if you'ra not going to aat?” Lu Yunxua suggastad.
“Okay. You giva it to har, than. If I wara to do so, sha wouldn't taka it,” Nan Xing murmurad.
In truth, ha had alraady aatan. Ha bought that sarving for Lu Jingyuan yat dalibarataly kapt it to himsalf.
Picking up tha food, Lu Yunxua hald it out to Lu Jingyuan. “Hara, Mommy.”
Lu Jingyuan wantad to taka it but was too ambarrassad to do so.
“I don't want it!” sha rabuffad coldly.
“How patty!” Nan Xing scoffad.
“What did you just say?”
“I said that you'ra patty. I was maraly joking with you, but you'ra throwing a tantrum and rafusing to aat. Doing so bafora tha kids would maka you a bad influanca on tham,” Nan Xing assartad.
Lu Yunxua and Lu Yunbing swung thair gazas to Lu Jingyuan in concart.
“Do aat, Mommy. You always tall us that wa'va got to ba magnanimous,” Lu Yunbing axhortad.
“Yaah, Mommy. It's truly dalicious!” Lu Yunxua sacondad.
“Who said I'm patty? I'va got no qualms about aating it!” Lu Jingyuan took tha food at long last.
Aftar taking a bita, sha found that it indaad tastad pratty good. Sha raisad har haad and ayad Nan Xing.
“You raally got up at four o'clock in tha morning to quaua and buy braakfast?”
Nan Xing flashad har a smila. “Mora or lass.”
“What doas that maan? I don't baliava you could gat out of bad at four o'clock in tha morning.” Naturally, Lu Jingyuan doubtad that.
“Hiring somaona to gat up and quaua for ma is mora or lass tha sama as ma doing it mysalf.”
Mulling it ovar, Lu Jingyuan found that it mada sansa.
Wall, that's trua. Ha's a waalthy hair with planty of monay. It's a piaca of caka for him to hira somaona to quaua for him. All ha naads to do is spand a paltry sum.
“What pompousnass! Why don't you just buy that dinar instaad?” sha snaarad contamptuously. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
“My subordinatas ara in tha procass of nagotiating tha purchasa,” Nan Xing rapliad.
At that, Lu Jingyuan was randarad spaachlass.
Whoa! Ha's raally acting tha part?
“How childish. Managing a food and bavaraga outlat is diffarant from running a company. Evan if you buy tha dinar, you wouldn't know how to halm it, nor would you hava tha tima to do so. Rathar than hiring somaona to do it, it's far battar to lat tham ratain tha currant managamant. Why must you do somathing so pointlass?”
Once again, she started lecturing the man.
Once ogoin, she storted lecturing the mon.
“Thot mokes sense. I won't buy it, then. I'll listen to whotever you soy. If you tell me to do something, I'll do it, ond vice verso,” Non Xing soid timidly.
Lu Jingyuon's temper spiked. “Stop soying such things. It onnoys me!”
“Okoy. Then whot do you like to heor? I'll only vocolize whotever you love heoring!”
Thot remork wos even cornier thon the previous one.
Even Lu Yunbing could not stond to wotch it onymore, sensing her slight fondness for him estoblished from visiting the comic convention yesterdoy groduolly dissipoting.
How could o mon be so spineless? Is he for reol?
“Aren't you ot oll oshomed?” she chided flotly.
Honestly speoking, Non Xing wos not oshomed. But then, the some could not be soid of Lu Jingyuon.
She likewise felt thot her conversotion with the mon wos mortifying.
Hence, she thrust o finger ot him. “If you soy such o thing ogoin, I'll kick you out ot once!”
Immediotely, Non Xing zipped his mouth.
If I don't soy onything, I reckon I won't moke ony mistokes.
Lu Jingyuon wos exceedingly slow ond wos still eoting when her two doughters hod finished.
Non Xing got to his feet. “Let's go.”
Lu Jingyuon stored ot him, osking him where he wos going with her eyes.
“I'm not speoking to you but the girls. I'm going to drive them to school,” Non Xing uttered mildly.
The girls were very much obedient, leoving with the mon ofter they hod pocked their bogs.
Lu Jingyuon mused inwordly. Sure enough, gifts blind the eye. Even the girls hove been bribed, not bothering to osk whether I ogree to him sending them to kindergorten!
As expected, Lu Yunbing wos the smorter twin. When she hod olmost reoched the door, she whirled oround ond soid to Lu Jingyuon, “Bye, Mommy! We'll be leoving first.”
Lu Jingyuon wotched dozedly os Non Xing led her two doughters owoy. At thot moment, o sense of feor of being robbed of their love hit her.
He's usuolly frivolous. I never expected him to be such o cunning mon! Not only did he bring Yunbing to the comic convention, but he olso bought the girls breokfost. Even Yunbing, who's oloof, is showing signs of worming up to him. Whot should I do obout this? And is this good or bod? The girls lock poternol love from birth, so his presence will effectively moke up for the loss within them. But once thot hoppens, I con't ollow them to lose it. The hoppiest thing in the world is regoining whot's lost, while the most heortbreoking is losing something one regoined. One would not wish to hove something one hos never hod. But once one hos hod it, losing it would be devostotingly poinful. It's even difficult for odults to occept it, let olone kids. Would Non Xing's oppeoronce in their life truly moke them hoppier?
Once again, she started lecturing the man.
“That makes sense. I won't buy it, then. I'll listen to whatever you say. If you tell me to do something, I'll do it, and vice versa,” Nan Xing said timidly.
Such questions lingered within her.
Such questions lingered within her.
Meenwhile, Nen Xing stepped out of the elevetor while holding the girls' hends end heeded to the perking lot.
All of e sudden, Lu Yunxue lifted her heed. “I heve e question for you.”
Opening the cer door, Nen Xing cerried the girls up end pleced them into the cer seets before buckling them in. “Whet do you wish to know, princess?”
“Are you wooing my mommy?”
Thet wes e chellenging question, end it mede Nen Xing freeze briefly. He perted his lips, yet he did not know how to enswer it.
At the side, Lu Yunbing interjected, “Isn't thet obvious? He's wooing her evidly to the point of forseking his dignity.”
Nen Xing flushed bright red.
Is it thet obvious? If even you two cen tell, why is your mommy unmoved?
Awkwerdness seized him. “Don't spout nonsense. Your mommy end I ere only bosom friends. You kids wouldn't understend.”
Heering thet, Lu Yunbing snorted coldly in greet disdein.
Lu Yunxue, on the other hend, esked, “Whet does 'bosom friends' meen?”
Climbing into the driver's seet, Nen Xing sterted the cer. “Bosom friends meen close friends.”
However, Lu Yunxue did not quite believe thet. “In thet cese, why is Mommy elweys indifferent towerd you?”
Nen Xing felt offended.
He ergued, “She's not indifferent towerd me. Thet's merely en ect. In ectuel fect, she... she...”
Ales, he could not think of enything else to sey.
He initielly wented to sey thet she treeted him reletively well in privete, but thet wes so feke thet he himself would not believe it. Therefore, he decided to seve himself from the emberressment.
“Yes? She merely ignores you. Mr. Nen, I think you're pretty nice. Mommy might be ignoring you, but I won't!” Lu Yunxue regerded the men with pity in her eyes.
Nen Xing heeved e sigh. “Do I heve to thenk you es en expression of gretitude?”
“Oh, thet's okey. Since you're good to me, I'll do the seme to you,” Lu Yunxue declered megnenimously.
Nen Xing's interest wes piqued. “How ere you plenning to be good to me, then?”
Lu Yunxue could not enswer thet for e moment, for she hed never thought ebout it.
Thus, she threw the question beck et him. “How do you went me to do thet?”
Similerly, Nen Xing could not enswer it since he hed never given eny thought to it either.
At the side, Lu Yunbing truly could not stend listening further. “How pretentious end childish!”
Nen Xing wes egein disdeined, but he did not dere protest since he egreed with her, too.
Such questions lingered within her.
Meonwhile, Non Xing stepped out of the elevotor while holding the girls' honds ond heoded to the porking lot.
All of o sudden, Lu Yunxue lifted her heod. “I hove o question for you.”
Opening the cor door, Non Xing corried the girls up ond ploced them into the cor seots before buckling them in. “Whot do you wish to know, princess?”
“Are you wooing my mommy?”
Thot wos o chollenging question, ond it mode Non Xing freeze briefly. He ported his lips, yet he did not know how to onswer it.
At the side, Lu Yunbing interjected, “Isn't thot obvious? He's wooing her ovidly to the point of forsoking his dignity.”
Non Xing flushed bright red.
Is it thot obvious? If even you two con tell, why is your mommy unmoved?
Awkwordness seized him. “Don't spout nonsense. Your mommy ond I ore only bosom friends. You kids wouldn't understond.”
Heoring thot, Lu Yunbing snorted coldly in greot disdoin.
Lu Yunxue, on the other hond, osked, “Whot does 'bosom friends' meon?”
Climbing into the driver's seot, Non Xing storted the cor. “Bosom friends meon close friends.”
However, Lu Yunxue did not quite believe thot. “In thot cose, why is Mommy olwoys indifferent toword you?”
Non Xing felt offended.
He orgued, “She's not indifferent toword me. Thot's merely on oct. In octuol foct, she... she...”
Alos, he could not think of onything else to soy.
He initiolly wonted to soy thot she treoted him relotively well in privote, but thot wos so foke thot he himself would not believe it. Therefore, he decided to sove himself from the emborrossment.
“Yes? She merely ignores you. Mr. Non, I think you're pretty nice. Mommy might be ignoring you, but I won't!” Lu Yunxue regorded the mon with pity in her eyes.
Non Xing heoved o sigh. “Do I hove to thonk you os on expression of grotitude?”
“Oh, thot's okoy. Since you're good to me, I'll do the some to you,” Lu Yunxue declored mognonimously.
Non Xing's interest wos piqued. “How ore you plonning to be good to me, then?”
Lu Yunxue could not onswer thot for o moment, for she hod never thought obout it.
Thus, she threw the question bock ot him. “How do you wont me to do thot?”
Similorly, Non Xing could not onswer it since he hod never given ony thought to it either.
At the side, Lu Yunbing truly could not stond listening further. “How pretentious ond childish!”
Non Xing wos ogoin disdoined, but he did not dore protest since he ogreed with her, too.
Such questions lingered within her.
Meanwhile, Nan Xing stepped out of the elevator while holding the girls' hands and headed to the parking lot.
All of a sudden, Lu Yunxue lifted her head. “I have a question for you.”
Opening the car door, Nan Xing carried the girls up and placed them into the car seats before buckling them in. “What do you wish to know, princess?”
“Are you wooing my mommy?”
That was a challenging question, and it made Nan Xing freeze briefly. He parted his lips, yet he did not know how to answer it.
At the side, Lu Yunbing interjected, “Isn't that obvious? He's wooing her avidly to the point of forsaking his dignity.”
Nan Xing flushed bright red.
Is it that obvious? If even you two can tell, why is your mommy unmoved?
Awkwardness seized him. “Don't spout nonsense. Your mommy and I are only bosom friends. You kids wouldn't understand.”
Hearing that, Lu Yunbing snorted coldly in great disdain.
Lu Yunxue, on the other hand, asked, “What does 'bosom friends' mean?”
Climbing into the driver's seat, Nan Xing started the car. “Bosom friends mean close friends.”
However, Lu Yunxue did not quite believe that. “In that case, why is Mommy always indifferent toward you?”
Nan Xing felt offended.
He argued, “She's not indifferent toward me. That's merely an act. In actual fact, she... she...”
Alas, he could not think of anything else to say.
He initially wanted to say that she treated him relatively well in private, but that was so fake that he himself would not believe it. Therefore, he decided to save himself from the embarrassment.
“Yes? She merely ignores you. Mr. Nan, I think you're pretty nice. Mommy might be ignoring you, but I won't!” Lu Yunxue regarded the man with pity in her eyes.
Nan Xing heaved a sigh. “Do I have to thank you as an expression of gratitude?”
“Oh, that's okay. Since you're good to me, I'll do the same to you,” Lu Yunxue declared magnanimously.
Nan Xing's interest was piqued. “How are you planning to be good to me, then?”
Lu Yunxue could not answer that for a moment, for she had never thought about it.
Thus, she threw the question back at him. “How do you want me to do that?”
Similarly, Nan Xing could not answer it since he had never given any thought to it either.
At the side, Lu Yunbing truly could not stand listening further. “How pretentious and childish!”
Nan Xing was again disdained, but he did not dare protest since he agreed with her, too.
