Chapter 700 Please Be My Brother
Lu Yunxue gazed at the handsome face of Nan Xing with sparkling eyes. She really liked the handsome man a lot.
Although he looked exactly like Erbao’s father, she much preferred Nan Xing. He was friendlier and more likable.
Lu Yunxue decided to grab Nan Xing’s hand with both hands and asked, “Can you please be my older brother,
Xing?” Nan Xing was taken aback. Older brother? Did she just call me by my name? I’m obviously much older than
she is. How can she address me as such?
“Don’t talk rubbish. I’m Erbao’s uncle. You should address me as Mr. Nan and not Xing,” Nan Xing told her off in a
stern manner. Lu Yunxue continued to cling to Nan Xing. “You’re too young and handsome to be called that. I should
address you as Xing.”
The moment Nan Xing heard her compliment, he flashed a bright smile. “You’re right. But it’s inappropriate since
I’m so much older than you, so I think it’s better for you to address me as Mr. Nan instead of Xing.”
“Xing,” Lu Yunxue called out playfully again. Lu Yunxue envied the fact that Erbao had an older brother. As for
herself, she only had an older sister. Therefore, she felt that it was a wonderful thing to be able to find a handsome
man to become her older brother.
In all honesty, she did not do that out of playfulness. She had grown up in a family without any male figure. As a
result, she lacked a sense of security.
“You cannot address Uncle Xing by his name,” said Erbao, who was looking at her coldly. “Why not?” retorted Lu
Yunxue as she turned to look at Erbao.
“That’s because he’s my uncle.” Her reason was straight to the point and more than sufficient. “You can address
him as Uncle Xing, but he can still be my brother.”
Lu Yunxue abruptly smiled like an angel as she felt that her idea was a brilliant one. Nan Xing’s heart went all soft
from her expression. Suddenly, all he wanted was for that little girl to be happy, and he would give her everything
she asked for as long as it made her smile.
“No way!” protested Erbao. “What’s wrong? You address him as Uncle Xing, and I address him as Xing. It’s all fine
and dandy, no?” said Lu Yunxue with her head tilted to one side.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtErbao looked at Dabao. Although she found it inappropriate, she could not come up with a good reason to reject
her friend’s request.
“If you address our uncle as Xing, that means that you are more senior than us. Then, we’ll have no choice but to
address you as Aunt Yunxue,” said Dabao.
Lu Yunxue laughed out loud in an arrogant manner. Nan Xing, Dabao, and Erbao were stumped. They had no idea
why she was laughing. Is it that hilarious?
Finally, Lu Yunxue managed to calm down. “Oh, my. Aunt Yunxue is an interesting way to address me…”
“Dabao, did she just make a fool out of us?” asked Erbao. “It appears so,” replied Dabao as he nodded. “Lu Yunxue,
you’re a baddie. I don’t want to be friends with you anymore. Hmph!” With that, Erbao stomped off.
Dabao shot Lu Yunxue a glare before walking away too. When Lu Yunxue saw that both her good friends were
annoyed with her, she knew she was in trouble. Life without them would be extremely boring if she were to lose
them.
She glanced at Nan Xing helplessly before saying, “I will address you as Mr. Nan in front of others. But, when there’s
no one around, I will call you Xing!”
Nan Xing was equally helpless. He had no clue why that little girl insisted on addressing him by his name. Before he
could respond, Lu Yunxue went after Erbao. “Erbao, I’m sorry. It’s my fault…”
Just then, Ning Ran came over and asked, “What’s all the fuss about?”
Nan Xing seemed to be deep in thought and sidestepped her question. “This child is pretty adorable. Is she Lu
Jingyuan’s child?”
“What? If she isn’t her child, then whose child could she be? Yours?” teased Ning Ran.
“I wish…”
“What did you say?”
It was only then Nan Xing returned to his senses. “How can someone as fierce as Lu Jingyuan give birth to such a
cute child? Why is it so hard for me to believe it?”
“What are you talking about? How is Lu Jingyuan fierce? You were the one flirting with her. Isn’t she allowed to
resist you? Should she just do as you say?”
Ning Ran spoke up for Lu Jingyuan.
“I didn’t flirt with her. It’s true that I tried to talk to her, but that’s all. Flirting and talking to someone are two
different things. Please don’t get them mixed up!”
Nan Xing also felt very wronged.
“You are no longer getting any younger. Why don’t you find yourself a girlfriend?” asked Ning Ran.
Nan Xing burst out laughing.
“What are you laughing about? Is finding a girlfriend a laughing matter?”
“Nope. The thing is, I don’t need to hunt for one. Plenty of gorgeous women are waiting to throw themselves at me.
Don’t you know that?” Nan Xing proclaimed proudly.
Ning Ran thought about it and found herself agreeing with him. Nan Xing was rich and good-looking. He would have
no lack of women.
If that’s the case, there should be plenty of women throwing themselves at the man in Flower City right now, no?
Would he succumb to the temptation?
At the thought of that, Ning Ran felt a little unhappy.
“What’s wrong? I’m only joking. There aren’t that many women around me anymore. I’m a man with taste and
won’t settle for any random woman after all,” said Nan Xing quickly.
That’s right. So is Nan Chen. Surely, he won’t be tempted by just any other woman who comes his way.
“All right then. You’re more than capable, so I won’t worry about you anymore. Please look after the four children.
I’m going to have an afternoon nap,” said Ning Ran.
“Again? I want to head out. The children are about to drive me crazy!” exclaimed Nan Xing.
Ning Ran pretended not to hear him and left for her nap.
She had no idea how long she had been sleeping when the ringing of a phone woke her up. It was Wang Xiaoou.
“I have already watched the video on the internet. It’s very well done. Did you process it by yourself?” asked Wang
Xiaoou.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Which video?”
Ning Ran was still a bit groggy from her slumber.
“I’m talking about the video where that guy claimed that he was your temporary bodyguard. The denial of the
rumor is well-timed. Good job!” praised Wang Xiaoou.
“Oh, you’re referring to that. I didn’t process that. I know nothing about video processing. It was done by my
friend,” said Ning Ran with a laugh.
“Which one?”
“The one who was in the photo with me.”
“You went and looked for her? Didn’t I tell you not to do so?” Wang Xiaoou began to panic.
“I didn’t. She did all these on her own accord.”
“I see. I guess we had misunderstood her?”
“She isn’t a bad person at all. Since this whole episode has come to an end, everything’s fine now, right?” said Ning
Ran happily.
“The platforms on which your friend posted the video are all very well-known. Most of the platforms always refuse
to get involved with entertainment matters, even when money is being offered to them. Your friend must be very
powerful to have such resources that allow her to get those platforms to clarify this issue. Initially, I thought that Mr.
Chen was the one who did it. It’s worth using her if she has such powerful resources. Once your new movie is out,
please ask her to help with the publicity. You are aware that resources such as promotional channels are very
important in the entertainment industry, no?” said Wang Xiaoou.
He was no doubt a top director. In such a short amount of time, he was able to link the video incident up with
business.
However, Ning Ran knew that she could not mention it. Even if she did, Lu Jingyuan would not agree.
There was no particular reason for that. Lu Jingyuan was simply not that kind of person.
On top of that, the resources must have come from her brother and not her.
There was no way Lu Jingyuan would utilize her family’s resources for the sake of Ning Ran.
