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?”
