Chapter 645 Intuition

At six o'clock that evening, Ning Ran brought two bottles of fine wine and went to Lu Jingyuan'shouse with Cheng Xiangyun.

Although Cheng Xiangyun had told her that Lu Jingyuan was wealthy, Ning Ran was still shockedwhen she saw the villa Lu Jingyuan had built for herself.

She's not just wealthy. She's ultra rich!

The villa was not enormous, but the three-story building was luxurious.

Its fence wall and exterior were painted light blue with a cool undertone, giving the place aparticular character.

Once they entered the courtyard, they saw a pathway paved with colorful natural pebbles.

On both sides of the path were blooming flowers.

Most of the places were still cold during early spring, but over at Livingsfill, the temperature did notgo through drastic changes throughout the year. There was no extreme cold, and flowers bloomedall year round.

However, despite the geographical advantage, most plants had their own flowering period.Although some flowers were out of season then in Livingsfill, Lu Jingyuan's garden was still filledwith flowers of all kinds.

This went to show that Lu Jingyuan was a flower connoisseur. Not only could she collect all thedifferent types of flowers, but she could also make them blossom at that time of the year.

This was enough to attest to her refinement and knowledge—two invaluable traits unable to bebought with money.

The nouveau riche could well build huge mansions with their money, but cultivating good taste andan informed mind would take time. One would need to read a lot and see the world.

This realization only made Ning Ran more vigilant.

I'd better not underestimate this woman. She stays in a border town with two children but has theability to run a big inn and stay in a villa. This is impossible unless she has a strong backgroundCould it be that she’s Nan Chen's secret lover? He can definitely do that, though. He has the abilityto keep more than one lover, actually. In fact, I won't be surprised if he has a hundred womenoutside.

While Ning Ran was thinking, Lu Jingyuan came out to welcome them, holding her two girls.Woah! She's pretty. It only took Ning Ran one glance to agree with Cheng Xiangyun.

Ning Ran was a beautiful woman herself, so she had her standards, but even then, she stillconsidered Lu Jingyuan a rare beauty.

When Ning Ran saw the two children, she agreed that they looked like Erbao.

Ning Ran gasped in her heart. She would not be surprised that a woman like Lu Jingyuan wouldknow Nan Chen, for she totally had what it took to be in his circle.

Her appearance and demeanor were exceptional. More precisely, she was way above those ladiesfrom affluent families like Ouyang Qing.

“Hi, Ms. Lu. This is Erbao and Dabao’s mother,” Cheng Xiangyun introduced warmly.

“Hi. Nice to meet you. I'm Lu Jingyuan.”

“I'm Ning Ran. Nice to meet you too.”

The two women gazed at one another and were amazed by how gorgeous each other was.

“I knew you must be pretty when I saw your kids, but I'm still surprised. You're the most attractivewoman staying at my inn,” Lu Jingyuan praised with a smile.

“Thanks. You're dashing yourself too. Thank you for taking care of my children,” Ning Ran replied,smiling, as she gave the two bottles of wine to the host.

“This is good wine. Let's try them during dinner.”

Lu Jingyuan was straightforward and elegant, and Ning Ran had a good impression of her.

Their first encounter assured Ning Ran that Lu Jingyuan was not cunning, so she put away hersuspicion. However, that was solely based on her intuition.

One's sixth sense was not entirely baseless. Human emotions were the product of experience andknowledge, and they made sense sometimes.

"Come. This is Ms. Ning. Say hi,” Lu Jingyuan said to her daughters.

“Hi, Ms. Ning,” the two girls greeted politely with a bow.

Lu Yunxue went forward and pulled Ning Ran’s hand. “Ms. Ning, I'm Erbao’s best friend. We alwaysplay together!”

Ning Ran bent down, pulled the girl's hand, and patted her. “You're a sweet little girl. Who's older?You or Erbao?”

“I'm older; she’s younger,” Erbao chimed in.

Erbao felt proud because it was the first time she could consider someone else her younger sister.She had always been the younger sibling at home.

"Well, then, you should take care of your younger sister, all right?” Ning Ran said.

“No. I can take care of myself. We can take care of one another,” Lu Yunxue replied frankly.

Her answer made everyone laugh except Lu Yunbing, who had been observing Ning Ran since theymet.

Seeing this, Ning Ran approached the girl. “Hi, are you Yunbing? Are you the elder sister?”

“Yes.” Although Lu Yunbing's answer was short, it did not sound rude.

Interestingly, the girl had a cold expression on her face, which was rare for children her age.

Ning Ran exhaled deeply, recalling Nan Chen's emotionless face.

They don't look exactly the same, but I can see hints of Nan Chen in her. If I were to compare thefour children, Erbao would look more like Yunxue, while Dabao would look more like Yunbing. Iwon't say they are the same, but I can definitely spot some common ground.

Ning Ran tried to shake off the thought, but deep down, she felt slightly disturbed.

The family would get too complicated if Nan Chen really had two other children outside.

“Ms. Ning, you may wash your hands here. Dinner's about to start,” the housekeeper said.

“Sure. Thanks."

Everyone sat down after washing their hands. Lu Jingyuan had arranged a smaller table for thechildren.

That was a telling sign that Lu Jingyuan came from a big family because children would not join theadults at their table until they turned eighteen.

It would also give the adults more freedom during mealtime if the children ate on their own.“Welcome to Livingsfill, Ms. Ning. I'm glad to host you at my inn,” Lu Jingyuan said.

Ning Ran lifted her glass and smiled too. “The honor is mine. Thank you for having us. Cheers.”Everyone raised their glasses and drank.

"Did you make these dishes yourself, Ms. Lu?” Ning Ran inquired, smiling.

“Most of them. I bought the rest. The food here is on the spicy side, so I'm not sure if you'll like it,”Lu Jingyuan said.

“They're not bad. I like them. Your cooking is really good. It'd be great if you could spare some timeto teach me.”

“I'm more than happy to do that. I enjoy cooking. It gives me a sense of achievement. Do you likecooking as well?”

“I'm okay. I just know how to cook a few simple dishes. Nothing fancy.”

“That's good enough. I heard you're an actress?”

Erbao quickly said, “Mommy is a celebrity! She's the female lead in The Sound of Thunder 2. Themovie was a big hit!”

Ning Ran felt embarrassed at the compliment. “I'm not that famous. Don't listen to her.”

“I'm sorry. I don't watch TV a lot.”

Lu Jingyuan’s honesty made Ning Ran feel awkward.

“But I'll check the movie out. I'm sure your acting is good. Your eyes tell me you're a person who hasa story,” Lu Jingyuan added.

“Thanks. I can equally say the same about you. I'm sure you'll be better than me at the craft if youbecome an actress,” Ning Ran said.

“Well, let's put platitudes aside, shall we? I'm glad I met someone like you. Cheers,” Lu Jingyuan said,raising her glass.

“Cheers!”
