Chapter 1019 The Children Are Key

When Lu Jingyuan led her children out of the apartment the next morning, she saw Nan Xing waiting at her front door, taking a bite out of some bread and a sip of milk.

It was a common scene among office workers waiting for the bus, yet it didn't fit Nan Xing's image of a scion.

Shouldn't he be sitting at a large dining table, choosing and wondering which kind of breakfast he wants?

She blinked again to ensure she wasn't hallucinating. However, the person in front of her was still Nan Xing.

Despite his similar features to Nan Chen, his flippant yet warm smile distinguished him from his older brother.

Nan Xing spotted Lu Jingyuan and waved the bread in his hand. “Have you had breakfast?”

If I haven't, is he preparing to offer the half-eaten bread to me or what? Lu Jingyuan shot him a confused glance. “What are you doing here?”

“I'm here to send the kids to school, and since you need to send the kids and go to work, I decided to revert to my previous position as the kids' driver from today onward, seeing as it's exhausting and I feel bad for you.”

Doubt filled Lu Jingyuan. What is his plan exactly, for him to suddenly offer his help?

“Why?” she asked.

Nan Xing couldn't answer her.

Naturally, there was a reason behind his kind offer.

The previous night, Nan Chen had said he didn't know how to court Lu Jingyuan, but Ning Ran would.

There was a saying that for a man to successfully court a woman, all he had to do was get two people on his side, and he would already be halfway to success.

The two people were the woman's best friend and mother.

Nan Xing didn't know Lu Jingyuan's mother, but he was familiar with her best friend since that person happened to be his sister-in-law.

At that moment, Nan Xing felt the odds were in his favor, so he earnestly asked Ning Ran for advice on how to lessen Lu Jingyuan's dislike of him.

In the end, Ning Ran came up with a brilliant scheme—to first get Lu Jingyuan's children to accept him.

For mothers, their children were the most significant thing in their lives.

If the children liked him, naturally, Lu Jingyuan would favor him too.

If the kids disliked him, then Lu Jingyuan wouldn't have a good impression of him.

At Ning Ran's guidance, comprehension dawned upon Nan Xing.

Hence, he swiftly came up with a plan to send the kids to school in the morning.

However, it had been a while since he had woken up so early. It took his alarm going off a few times before he finally got out of bed.

The carton of milk and bread he bought from the convenience store was to show how busy and pitiful he was.

See? I only looked like this because I needed to fetch and send the kids. Don't you feel moved by my dedication?

Nan Xing imagined Lu Jingyuan would be moved to tears and even leap into his embrace to praise him for his effort and kindness.

Yet, the reality was Lu Jingyuan leading the children toward her car. “Are you crazy? No one asked you to send them.”

Indignation washed over Nan Xing. Why didn't you call me crazy when I sent the kids when you couldn't wake up and wanted to sleep in? Now that your routine has returned to normal, you're treating me like a nuisance.

He refused to give up and raced toward them. “Jingyuan, I can send the kids so you can go to work.”

“I don't need your help!” Lu Jingyuan rejected.

“You do! Hurry up and get to work. Have them sit in my car, and I'll send them.”

Lu Yunxue was more than willing to take up his offer. “I think it's fine for Mr. Nan to send us to school.”

Lu Yunbing glared at her sister. “What is fine? Why do we need him to send us?”

Nan Xing felt that Ning Ran's advice was spot on. If the kids don't accept me, how can Lu Jingyuan accept me? The kids are the key!

“Yunbing, me sending you to school will ensure your mom doesn't get to work late. Isn't this the best scenario for all of us? Have you forgotten that I was the one who sent you guys to school in the past?

Come on, don't turn me down.”

The young master of the Nan family had really put himself down to the extent of begging the children to accept his offer. It was quite pitiful!

However, Lu Yunbing didn't buy it. “You complained a lot when you sent us to school in the past! I still remember that.”

“Oh, I was young and immature then—”

Lu Jingyuan was stunned. What is he saying? What does he mean by young and immature? That happened not long ago. Was he still young then? Does he not understand the word “young” or “immature”?

Nan Xing stopped talking halfway as he realized he had put himself down too much. That shouldn't be the way.

However, he was already there. Wouldn't it be a wasted trip if he couldn't send the children to school?

Looking at Lu Yunxue, who was staring at him with wide-open eyes, he suddenly thought of something.

Scooping Lu Yunxue into his arms, he ran toward his car.

She has two children. Lu Yunbing might be unwilling, but not Yunxue. It's not a wasted trip if I can capture one of them.

Lu Yunxue was shocked initially but understood Nan Xing's intention right after. Not only did she not resist, she even giggled excitedly.

Lu Jingyuan stared after them. Has he resorted to kidnapping?This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“Nan Xing, stop! What are you doing? I'll call the police if you don't stop! How can you kidnap my child? Have you lost your mind?”

Nan Xing ignored her snippy remarks and set the child down once he reached his car. Opening the door, he set Lu Yunxue on the passenger seat.

“Are you stealing the bride, Mr. Nan?” Lu Yunxue asked.

“You watch too much TV! Stop spewing nonsense! I'm not stealing any bride. I'm kidnapping a child!” Nan Xing corrected with a frown.

“Why didn't you kidnap Yunbing? Why me? Is it because I'm prettier, smarter, and more adorable than her?”

There was no way Nan Xing could deny her after she had so eagerly listed her superior qualities. He nodded firmly. “You're right! That's exactly it!”

Lu Jingyuan finally caught up to them. “Nan Xing, give me my child back, or I'll call the police!”

Nan Xing shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands. “Call the police then. Lu Yunxue knows who I am. I just want to send her to school. Which law have I broken?”

Lu Jingyuan couldn't refute his reasoning.

She had met a ton of shameless people in her life but never one that shameless.

What is his motive for suddenly doing this?

“What are you planning? Is there something wrong with you mentally?” Lu Jingyuan scolded.

“There's nothing wrong with me. I just felt bad for you after seeing how tired you were, so I decided to share a bit of your burden. If that's crazy, then consider me a madman.”

Lu Yunxue advised, “Mommy, just let Mr. Nan send us to school! He's done it before, so you know he won't sell us off.”

Lu Yunxue's words reminded Lu Jingyuan. Is Nan Xing planning to kidnap my kids? That's not right. How much can he get by selling a child? Is that amount even worth the risk? Isn't the Nan family wealthy? Why would he break the law for money? If that isn't his reason, what does he want? Whatever! I'm done guessing. I'm going to let him do whatever he wants.

She gestured to Lu Yunbing. “Get in his car. I'll be heading straight to work.”

Lu Yunbing was unwilling. “I don't want to!”

Nan Xing felt a headache forming.

Why is this child being so difficult? I finally got your mom to agree, so why can't you?

Deciding to commit all the way, he blurted out, “I'll agree to every request you make if you let me send you to school!”

Lu Yunbing said airily, “My request is for you not to send me to school.”

There was nothing Nan Xing could say in response to that.
