Chapter 699 Unfair For The Kids

At lunch, Lu Yunxue kept shooting looks at Ning Ran. Ning Ran understood Lu Yunxue wanted herto suggest letting the latter join them at Mountview Inn.

Lu Jingyuan had long noticed something was amiss with Lu Yunxue's actions, so she glared at herand asked, “Is something wrong with your eyes? You're always blinking.”

Lu Yunxue quickly lowered her head. “Nope. I'm fine. The food tastes amazing!" “Yunxue, before Icame here, Erbao told me she missed you two after not seeing you two for a few days. Do you wantto come with me to the inn?” Ning Ran asked softly.

Hearing that, Lu Yunxue did not say anything in response. She raised her head and looked at hermom instead. “No, thanks. She's quite troublesome to look after. I shouldn't let her disrupt yourpeaceful time there,” Lu Jingyuan rejected the offer.

Lu Yunxue stopped eating, looking very disappointed. “I think letting the kids spend more timetogether is not so bad. It won't disrupt anything. The kids don't like it when it's too quiet,” Ning Rantried to persuade Lu Jingyuan.

“No, thanks. Really. She can be very troublesome.” Since Lu Jingyuan refused to let her kids jointhem, there was nothing Ning Ran could do.

“I can go on my own. Yunbing can stay here. Then, it won't be too noisy. I promised Erbao I'd playwith her, so I can't just break my promise. I have to keep my word.” Lu Yunxue could no longerremain silent. She knew if she still didn't say anything, she would not get a chance to go out andplay.

“I knew it. You only want to go because you want to play. That's all you think about,” Lu Jingyuanreprimanded

“I'm a kid, and my only responsibility is to play. What else can I do?” Lu Yunxue weakly defendedherself.

“You can read books like Yunbing. Don't you have anything better to do than play?”

“Yunbing reads because she likes reading. I don't like reading. I don’t understand the books too. Iprefer playing with Erbao! Just like how you like hanging out with Ms. Ning. It's the same, Mommy!Why can adults always hang out, but we kids can’t do the same?”

Her argument was valid and reasonable. However, Lu Yunxue hung her head low as she spoke, nothaving the courage to look at Lu Jingyuan because she was afraid of being lectured.

“How dare you talk back to me? Are you saying I can't tell you what you can and cannot do?” LuJingyuan was angered.

“I think Yunxue is right. I like reading, but she just doesn’t.” Lu Yunbing spoke up for her sister.

It was a rare sight to see. Lu Yunbing always looked down on her sister for only spending her timeplaying and eating instead of doing anything meaningful.

Yet, she spoke up for Lu Yunxue at that moment. Perhaps she also felt like going to Mountview Inn.Lu Yunxue's expression lit up when she heard her sister backing her up.

Her words might not carry any weight, but things were different once her sister decided to side withher.

“Mommy, it's unfair that you can hang out with your friends, but stop us from having ours!” LuYunxue immediately became more confident in defending herself.

Lu Jingyuan snorted angrily. “Unfair? Isn't it also unfair for me to raise you two on my own?”"You're taking care of us now, but we will take care of you once we're older. That's fair!” Lu Yunxueimmediately answered.

Seeing that the mother and daughter were about to start a debate, Ning Ran figured she shouldchime in and help Lu Yunxue since the little girl had asked for her help earlier.

"Erbao and Dabao had invited the sisters over. Why don't you let them join us?” Ning Ran askedwith a smile.

The truth was, when Lu Yunbing expressed that she wanted to go, Lu Jingyuan was already about togive in and let the sisters join Ning Ran and her kids.

Nonetheless, Lu Jingyuan could not ease her discipline over her daughters right away. Now thatNing Ran spoke up for her daughters, she could finally agree to let them go.

"Sure. They can go with you. I have something else to deal with, so I can't join you girls yet. Pleasehelp me look after them. I'll come to pick them up later.”

Upon hearing that, Lu Yunxue immediately cheered, “Yay! Mommy, you're amazing!”

After eating, Lu Yunxue impatiently urged Ning Ran to get going. She did not want to spendanother second at home.

Then, Ning Ran got Lu Jingyuan’s consent and took her daughters to Mountview Inn.

Once they stepped through the door, they saw Erbao sitting alone.

She spotted Lu Yunxue and immediately rushed over, hugging her as they spun in circles.

It was not until they both felt slightly dizzy that they stopped spinning. That was their unique way ofgreeting each other.

“Where's your brother?” Ning Ran did not see Dabao anywhere.

“He's hiding. Uncle Xing is looking for him,” said Erbao.

"What? What happened? Is he throwing a tantrum again? Did anyone upset him?” Ning Ran asked.“Nope. He couldn't stand Uncle Xing, so he went into hiding.” Erbao chuckled.

"Hmm? Why couldn't he stand Uncle Xing?"

Erbao laughed louder. “That's because Uncle Xing wants to play a game with him, but he doesn'twant to play.”

Ning Ran got puzzled. “Why? Didn't he like playing video games?”

As she spoke, Nan Xing showed up while chasing after Dabao.

"Stop running. Let's talk things out. You told me to stay, yet you refuse to play with me now? What'swrong with you?” Nan Xing questioned angrily.

While running away from him, Dabao shouted, “Please just leave me be. I don’t want to play withyou anymore.”

That scene left Ning Ran dumbfounded. She had never seen an adult demanding to play with a kid,let alone when the kid refused to play with the adult.

Although she understood the world was never short of curiosities, Ning Ran must say this scene wascertainly eye-opening.

“Dabao!” Lu Yunxue blocked Dabao’s path and wanted to hug him.

Being a polite kid, Dabao stopped in his tracks when he saw a guest had come over.

However, he only hugged Lu Yunxue as a polite gesture. He did not spin in circles with her as hefound that too childish.

“Ning Ran, you're finally back. Please lecture your son. He's too much!” Nan Xing said with a bitterexpression.

"What's wrong? How is he too much?” Ning Ran was confused.

"He refused to let me go back to Flower City and insisted I stay here and play with them. Now that Iwant to play with him, he refuses to play with me. Isn't that frustrating?” Nan Xing protested.“Play?”

"Yes. We were playing a game together. After two rounds, he refuses to play with me anymore.” NanXing looked dejected.

"Dabao, why are you refusing to play with your Uncle Xing?” Ning Ran could roughly guess herSON's answer.

“Mommy, he doesn’t know how to play the game. He's such a rookie. I can't always lead him!"Dabao pouted at her.

“Me? A rookie? You weren't even born yet when I first started playing video games. How dare youcall me a rookie? This is outrageous.” Nan Xing was boiling with anger.

“Uncle Xing, you should play with ordinary gamers instead of someone at my level. Forget it. I don'twant you to play with me. You should replace someone else,” said Dabao.

Ning Ran could not stifle a chuckle. She guessed it right.

As a computer genius, Dabao was also an expert gamer. He was ranked among the top in thegames he played.

Ning Ran knew Nan Xing was not that terrible at gaming, but he was nowhere comparable toDabao.

Thus, it was no wonder Dabao would look down on him. She was only amused by the fact thatDabao refused him so much that he hid from him.

“Is he your uncle?” Lu Yunxue asked Erbao.

Yes”

"Why does he look like your daddy?” Lu Yunxue looked curious.

“You look like your sister too. My daddy and my uncle are twin brothers,” Erbao explained.

"Oh. I get it now. Your uncle is very handsome.”

Lu Yunxue fixed her eyes on Nan Xing and couldn't look elsewhere.

"Of course. Uncle Xing is as handsome as my daddy,” said Erbao with a proud face.

“Can your uncle become my uncle too?” Lu Yunxue suddenly asked with a solemn face.

“I think so. Why don't you ask him?” Erbao was not too sure about that.

Lu Yunxue walked over to Nan Xing and reached out to take his hand. She called out sweetly, “Mr.Handsome!"

Nan Xing was delighted to hear that. “Hey there, little one, you have great taste. I like what youcalled me. You're so much better than Dabao, that little brat!”
