Finding it an excellent idea, Nan Chen likewise turned his gaze to Lu Jingyuan.

“I'm afraid I've got to disappoint you. Frankly speaking, I only managed to settle down here thanks to my family's support. I couldn't have done it alone. I've built a house here and established an inn, so I can't just leave on a whim. Even if I were to leave, I could only go back to the capital. But I don't want to do so.”

Lu Jingyuan was a person with a complicated past, for there were many things she was reluctant to speak of in detail.

However, there must be something holding her back. That was for certain.

In reality, everyone had something holding them back.

“I think it's worthwhile to sacrifice some things for the sake of the kids,” Ning Ran murmured, expressing her point of view.

“It's not that I'm unwilling to make sacrifices, but I have an agreement with my family. They're sure that I can't last for three years here. If... Never mind, let's not talk about this. Anyway, I can't leave. Furthermore, it's also not easy to go to another city and find a job, starting from scratch. I haven't really worked seriously for a few years, so I've grown rusty in a lot of things. Besides, I've got kids now. I don't have much of an advantage anymore in the business world.”

“I remember you saying that you're a designer?” Ning Ran queried.

“I used to do designing in the past, architectural design, specifically,” Lu Jingyuan answered.

“Nanshi Corporation has its own real estate company. If you don't mind, Ms. Lu, you can join us. I can provide you with a suitable job,” Nan Chen interjected.

Ning Ran agreed with that suggestion, gushing, “Yes, that's right! Nanshi Corporation has a lot of subsidiary companies, so it's a piece of cake to find you a job.”

“Thank you, but this matter is quite complicated, so I've still got to think about it. Honestly, I haven't worked in a few years. In the past, I've never worked continuously either. Basically, I worked part-time, making a break for it after earning enough money. I'm the kind of person who doesn't like being tied to a job.”

“Making a break for it?” Nan Chen mused.

“I either switched jobs or resigned, then left to travel and explore. If it weren't because I've got kids now, I might still be in some corner of the world, never settling down. My present life isn't one I want. I'm only staying temporarily for the sake of my kids.”

When Lu Jingyuan spoke of that, her usual poise was all but gone. Life came into her eyes, and they lit up.
