My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 704 This Is Harder Than I Thought

“Mommy, I’m hungry.” Lu Yunxue finally broke her silence because she feared that her mother would take them away if she continued to say nothing.

She was not about to let her mother ruin her long-awaited dinner. “I’ll make you some noodles when we get back!” responded Lu Jingyuan impatiently.

Ning Ran, too, decided to speak up. “Did I do something wrong? Why are you leaving all of a sudden?” “It’s not you; it’s me.” Nan Xing walked over.

“What did you do? Did you offend Ms. Lu?” Ning Ran asked in annoyance.

“I was just playing with Yunxue when I accidentally bumped into Ms. Lu. She scolded me, and I apologized, but I didn’t expect her to want to leave.” Nan Xing shrugged helplessly.

“I see. Then let me apologize on Nan Xing’s behalf. He’s always fooling around, but he’s really not a bad person,” said Ning Ran with a smile.

Even though Nan Xing did not appreciate what Ning Ran had to say about him, he had no choice but to swallow his pride then.

Since Ning Ran had spoken, Lu Jingyuan no longer insisted on leaving. Instead, she kept quiet and stayed for dinner.

Because of what had happened between Nan Xing and Lu Jingyuan, there was an awkwardness in the air during mealtime.

Ning Ran had a hard time trying to come up with different topics to talk about in order to ease the situation.

Still, it did not matter since Nan Xing and Lu Jingyuan were uninterested in chatting.

Ning Ran had no choice but to continue to do her best to alleviate the awkwardness.

“This soup is not bad. You should try it,” Ning Ran suggested to Lu Jingyuan before gesturing for Nan Xing to serve the woman the soup.

For Ning Ran’s sake, Nan Xing got on his feet. “Let me get you some, Ms. Lu.”

However, because of his clumsiness, Nan Xing accidentally knocked over a bowl and got soup all over Lu Jingyuan’s white skirt.

Ning Ran was utterly speechless, and so was Nan Xing.
