My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 886 No Help Needed

Later that night, they went to Medallion Restaurant again.

Nan Xing felt a little embarrassed when he saw Lu Tiance.

Yesterday, he got so drunk that he passed out, and Lu Tiance had to send him to the hotel. Nan Xing admitted

defeat as the difference in their drinking ability was quite drastic—the drinks barely scratched Lu Tiance's stomach.

There was a wider spread today compared to yesterday's, as the two children joined the meal.

This was clearly a farewell dinner for Lu Jingyuan and her daughters.

Nan Xing asked the waiter to open a bottle of red wine, originally intended as a gift for the Lu family. But Lu

Jingyuan said that the Lu family was not allowed to accept any gifts, not even a bag of fruit let alone a bottle of

premium wine worth a few hundred thousand.

Although he couldn't comprehend the rationale for such a strict rule, he did not want to force his way. Since he

couldn't give it away, he decided to drink it with the meal.

Nan Xing could take red wine, so he raised his glass first. “Thank you, Tiance, for your trust, and also thank you for

your hospitality yesterday. Thank you.”

Lu Tiance's demeanor had improved significantly, in contrast to his coldness yesterday.

Having made the decision to allow Lu Jingyuan and her daughters to leave with Nan Xing, Lu Tiance naturally hoped

that the man would treat his younger sister well.

“You drank too much yesterday. Drink less in the future. Don't force yourself to drink if you can't handle it,” Lu

Tiance advised.

“The way you handle your drinks is amazing. I admit that I am nowhere close. I will be more careful in the future,”

Nan Xing replied sheepishly.

“But being able to drink like that even though you don't have high alcohol tolerance is also a sign of character. Not

bad,” Lu Tiance praised Nan Xing.

“Thank you for your understanding and consideration. I'm really ashamed.”

“Uncle Tiance, you guys are too polite. It's so boring.” Lu Yunbing thought they were being too formal and insincere.

The man doted on this niece the most. She was straightforward in her speech and had a personality that was most

similar to his.

“Yunbing is right, we don't need such formality. Let's eat.” Lu Tiance signaled Nan Xing.

After getting drunk yesterday, Nan Xing felt rather awful and uncomfortable, but it did bring him closer to Lu

Tiance.

Their relationship seemed to have improved after eating together again today.

However, the atmosphere was still somewhat dull. After all, they were going to part ways soon.

Nan Xing didn't know Liu Jingyuan well, but he knew she had been residing overseas and rarely lived in the capital.

He didn't know if it was because she didn't like it there or for some other reason.

After finally returning to the capital to live for a while, she was leaving again. He could understand Lu Tiance's

reluctance to part with them.

Suddenly, he felt that it was cruel to take Lu Jingyuan and her daughters away. But this was what the woman

wanted, and it had nothing to do with him. He was just doing her a favor.

“Yunbing, Yunxue, will you miss me?” Lu Tiance suddenly turned to ask the two children.

“Yes,” both obediently replied in unison.

“How long before you come back to see your uncle?” Lu Tiance asked.

It seemed that the Lu family would never break the promises made.

“Um...” Lu Yunbing looked at Lu Jingyuan and continued, “Mommy has the final say.”

Lu Jingyuan smiled. “You can always visit us. It's not so convenient for me to bring two children back to the capital.

We'll try to come back once a year.”

“That works,” the man replied.

He then raised his glass to Nan Xing. “Cheers, let's go for a walk in the yard.”

Nan Xing understood that there was something he needed to talk to him about.

The two of them made their way to the yard. Lu Tiance walked silently for a few laps, and Nan Xing didn't know

what he wanted to say, so he followed his lead.

“What does my sister like to eat?” Lu Tiance suddenly turned around and asked Nan Xing.

“Steamed fish, sweet and sour lotus root slices, Ferropenian cuisine,” the man answered seriously.

This was what Lu Yunbing told Nan Xing so that he could be prepared.

He never thought that the information would be useful, and he began to admire that little girl who always had a

cold expression.

“And what about my nieces?” Lu Tiance asked another question.

“Yunbing and Yunxue have similar tastes to Jingyuan. The only exception is that Yunbing is allergic to fish, while

Yunbing eats everything,” Nan Xing responded.

“Well, can you cook the dishes they like?”

Nan Xing was caught off guard. “Um, not really.”

“Then, find a good restaurant and have the chef learn how to make these dishes. Take them there often.”

“Okay,” Nan Xing agreed.

“My mother passed away early, and my father was busy with work. I have been with my sister all the time. Later, I

went into military service, and my father remarried. My sister became even lonelier, so she went abroad and never

wanted to return to the capital again. She has been alone all these years, and she had the twins out of wedlock,

which is unforgivable in our family. Since then, my father's relationship with her has become even tenser.”

After a short pause, Lu Tiance continued, “My sister is stubborn and refuses to apologize, so she has been

wandering around all these years. It was not easy to bring her back. Our stepmother arranges blind dates for her

all day long, which makes her extremely frustrated. The family conflict is escalating over time, so she will be

happier if she leaves. Although I don't want to let her go, I don't want her to be unhappy. Jingyuan is the most

important person in my life. If you don't love her, please send her back. But you must not bully her, or I will not

spare you. I'm not threatening you, but just reminding you.”

Although Nan Xing was a little annoyed at being threatened, he did not argue as he could understand Lu Tiance's

love for his sister.

“I understand. I promised the two girls that I will never bully Jingyuan. In fact, it's good enough if she doesn't bully

me. How would I bully her?” Nan Xing smiled bitterly.

“Well, I remember what you said. I shall entrust my sister to you.” Lu Tiance reached out and shook Nan Xing's

hand—his grip was firm and strong.

“I will try my best to make them happy,” the man said sincerely.

Something's wrong. Am I really getting too much into character? Am I just pretending to be her boyfriend, or have I

actually become one?

“Okay, if you have any difficulties, don't reach out to me.”

Nan Xing was confused by Lu Tiance's statement. What does he mean? I thought he said to reach out to him if I

encounter any difficulties, and now he's saying not to reach out to him.

Lu Tiance continued, “But if there's something you can't solve, let Jingyuan tell me. I may not be able to directly

intervene in some situations, but I can ask my friends for help.”

Nan Xing breathed a sigh of relief at his assurance. Suddenly, he asked curiously, “Are you... very high up in rank?”

However, the man avoided the question and said, “Let's go inside.”He went back in without saying another word.

“Are we done talking, Uncle Tiance? Can we leave now?” Lu Yunxue was getting impatient.

After patting her head gently, the man replied, “If anyone bullies Mommy in Flower City, you must tell me. No

matter who it is, I won't go easy on them.”

The girls both turned to look at Nan Xing.

Why are they looking at me for? Are they threatening me again?

“Don't worry, Tiance. I don't need your help if anyone bullies me. I can break his neck myself!” Lu Jingyuan also

looked at Nan Xing.

The man touched his own neck and lamented, “Don't worry, I've always been the one at the receiving end!”
