Nan Xing was stunned by their threat.

He had never once imagined that he would one day be threatened by two kids—let alone two kids he genuinely could not afford to offend.

Generally, people believed that children would not lie, so they would surely buy the kids' story if the two daring children were to go out and tattletale on him, ruining his reputation in the end.

“Uncle Xing, we're not trying to make things difficult for you. We're keeping you here because we love you. Mommy has to be on set every day. It's boring staying here on our own,” Dabao comforted once he was done threatening Nan Xing.

“Yeah. We like playing with you, Uncle Xing. We like it when you bring us out to play and buy us good food!” Erbao agreed with a gentle voice.

“Are you guys seriously giving me a carrot now that I've gotten the stick? Both of you just threatened me! I'm not talking to you two anymore,” Nan Xing fumed.

“Come on, Uncle Xing. We didn't want to. No one will play with us if you leave, so why don't you stay with us for another month? You can go back after that,” Erbao suggested thoughtfully.

“A month?” Nan Xing shot up. “Are you seriously asking me to stay at this place for a month?”

Dabao glanced at Erbao. “How could you be so thoughtless? One month is too tall an order. Twenty days will be good enough!”

“O-Okay! Twenty days, then!” Erbao quickly agreed.

Ning Ran could not help but smile as she listened on.

The children never used to be that bold despite their craftiness, but ever since they met their father, Nan Chen, who indulged and spoiled them, they had gotten more daring and even had no qualms threatening Master Xing of the Nan family.

“Twenty days is too much. I'm staying for two days at most!” Nan Xing roared.

His statement worried Ning Ran, for she knew Nan Xing was already on the losing side.

Those alternatives were just a high bar the children set to allow more room for themselves to negotiate with Nan Xing later on.

Nan Xing is so dumb to have fallen for it so easily.

“At least a week, then,” Dabao said, bargaining.

“At most three. Nothing more than that.”
