My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 619 Pretty Mommy

Lu Jingyuan hesitated for a brief while. She was a mother, too, after all. Lu Jingyuan felt her heart soften when she

heard that Erbao was sick and wanted to have a meal with her daughter.

“Ms. Lu, do you want to stay and eat together too?” Qiao Zhan invited her enthusiastically. He got slightly excited.

Qiao Zhan refused to let anyone enter the house this morning. Hence, it was strange that he made a move by

inviting Lu Jingyuan for a meal.

Nonetheless, he could not be blamed for that, as Lu Jingyuan was a good-looking lady that everyone wished to

approach. “Is it okay?” Lu Jingyuan gazed at Cheng Xiangyun. “Of course! Come on in!” Cheng Xiangyun

responded.

At that moment, Cheng Xiangyun forgot their principle of prohibiting outsiders from entering their inn too.

Perhaps Lu Jingyuan was too gorgeous, or her gentle aura had created the illusion of credibility, causing everyone

to neglect the fact that she was an outsider.

Seeing that Lu Jingyuan decided to stay, Lu Yunxue got elated and gave Erbao a high-five. “Oh yeah!” Later, Qiao

Zhan swiftly moved the chair over for Lu Jingyuan to sit down.

The dishes were prepared by their chef from Flower City. The Nan family just employed the chef so that they could

have someone to prepare meals for them. After all, it was impractical for them to order food delivery every day.

“Do you have any alcohol?” Lu Jingyuan asked abruptly.

Everyone was taken aback for a second upon hearing that. What? Did she just ask for alcohol?

“It’s a habit of mine to drink wine with my dinner.” Lu Jingyuan looked awkward, realizing that her request might be

too abrupt.

“Yes, we have. Sir Chen left a box of wines here, but we haven’t consumed any yet. I’ll take one for you.”

Having said that, Qiao Zhan rapidly looked for the wine.

“Who is Sir Chen?” Lu Jingyuan asked.

“That’s my daddy!” Erbao replied proudly.

“I see.” Lu Jingyuan nodded lightly and remained silent afterward.

“My daddy is very handsome. I’ll introduce both of you to each other when he returns later, Ms. Lu. However, I’m

afraid that my mommy might not be happy about it. You’re too pretty!” Erbao remarked.

“You’re talking nonsense again!” Cheng Xiangyun glared at Erbao.

Immediately, Erbao kept mum and pouted.

“She’s not talking nonsense. My mommy is truly pretty.”

As soon as Erbao stopped talking, Lu Yunxue continued the conversation.

Erbao could be quite noisy if she were in good condition. Nevertheless, Lu Yunxue was equally rowdy too.

Lu Jingyuan shot Lu Yunxue with a look. Noticing that, the little girl shut up almost immediately.

The atmosphere at the dining table finally became quiet for a brief moment. In the meantime, Qiao Zhan opened a

bottle of wine and brought it over.

“Thank you. I think I’m not taking it,” said Lu Jingyuan.

“I just opened it. Come and drink some. It should be a good wine,” Qiao Zhan suggested.

“It must be expensive, so I don’t think I should have it. Sorry for my abrupt request.” Lu Jingyuan sounded genuine

while replying solemnly.

Possessing wine knowledge, Lu Jingyuan knew that the bottle of wine was expensive with a single glance.

“Don’t worry. Sir Chen put the wines here for us to drink, but we haven’t drunk any of them yet. Come and have a

glass.” Qiao Zhan was eager to please her.

“I regret it now. I shouldn’t have asked for the alcohol,” said Lu Jingyuan.

“It’s fine. How about I have one glass with you?” Qiao Zhan suggested.

“Do you think it’s appropriate for you to drink now?” Cheng Xiangyun asked Qiao Zhan.

“Oh. I can’t.”

Qiao Zhan belatedly remembered that he had to keep the two children safe. Hence, he could not take any alcohol.

As a matter of fact, one glass of wine would not affect Qiao Zhan that much. However, he followed the rules

seriously, not consuming a single drop of alcohol.

To him, it was the same as the law had it—no driving after consuming alcohol.

“Okay. How about you have a drink with Ms. Lu instead?”

Now that Qiao Zhan could not drink, he proposed that idea, hinting at Cheng Xiangyun to drink with Lu Jingyuan.

Cheng Xiangyun did not mind at all. She enjoyed having a small amount of wine on usual days. Hearing Lu Jingyuan

mentioning how high-priced the wine was, she was eager to try it.

It would be a waste not to take a sip of that expensive wine.

“All right. I’ll have a drink with Ms. Lu.”

After pouring the wine, the ladies clinked each others’ glasses.

Meanwhile, Erbao and Lu Yunxue followed suit too. They raised their fruit juice and toasted each other with a louder

clinking sound.

“By the way, I remember you have two children. Where’s the other child?” Qiao Zhan asked with concern.

“She’s at home.” Lu Jingyuan replied.

“I don’t think it’s a good idea to leave a young kid like her alone at home. Should I send someone to pick her up

here?” Qiao Zhan asked anxiously.

At the side, Cheng Xiangyun could not bear to watch it any longer. Look at him getting all excited, flattering her.

Does he think that she would be interested in him because of that? He should take a look in the mirror.

“It’s fine. She will be all right. I’ll go home after the meal.” Lu Jingyuan remained calm.

“What is she eating, then?” Qiao Zhan asked again.

“She’s an independent girl. She can take care of herself well.”

“My sister doesn’t like crowded places. She’s just like him.” As Lu Yunxue blurted that out, she shifted her attention

to Dabao.

Having his name called out all of a sudden, Dabao glanced at her before saying, “I don’t hate crowded places.”

“Why are you so quiet, then?” Lu Yunxue asked.

“I just don’t know what to say.”

“Are you sick too?” Lu Yunxue teased Dabao, hoping that he could talk more.

Being a talkative person, Lu Yunxue could not help but feel pressured sitting beside someone as quiet as Dabao.

How I wish we could talk more to each other. Things would be interesting!

“I’m not sick. I’m feeling good.”

As soon as he finished his words, Dabao lowered his head to eat, not uttering another word.

“By the way, what kind of sickness is she having? I know a professional traditional medicine practitioner. You could

take her there for a checkup. My kid was feeling unwell too last time, and I visited him for a prescription. He’s truly

an expert,” Lu Jingyuan mentioned.

“Sure. That’s great!” Qiao Zhan agreed without any hesitation.

It seemed like he would agree to everything Lu Jingyuan said.

Cheng Xiangyun did not agree to it, nonetheless. She had no say in serious matters like this and would have to get

approval from the Nan family.

At the same time, she was afraid that the doctor was not professional enough to treat Erbao. She did not want to

take the risk of bearing the responsibility if anything went wrong.

How could Qiao Zhan agree to that so casually?

Fortunately, Qiao Zhan quickly regained his senses by saying, “I can’t really decide on this alone. I will have to ask

the Nan family first for their approval.”

“Is the doctor a local?” Cheng Xiangyun tried to obtain more information from her before she could report it to the

Nan family.

“No. He’s from Lightspring,” answered Lu Jingyuan.

Qiao Zhan and Cheng Xiangyun glanced at each other and shared the same thought. Lightspring? Isn’t that the

place where Sir Chen and the others went?

“What’s the doctor’s name?”

“His surname is Ding. We address him as ‘Dr. Ding.’ I don’t know his real name, though,” Lu Jingyuan replied.

Subsequently, Lu Yunxue interrupted, “His name is Ding Yuanchao.”

“Why are you interrupting the adults’ conversation?” Lu Jingyuan said in an annoyed tone.

Lu Yunxue returned a look of innocence to her and voiced, “His name is Ding Yuanchao. Why can’t I say it when I

know his real name?”

“How do you know?”

“I heard him mentioning his name to people the last time we visited him at his clinic,” Lu Yunxue replied earnestly.

“Really?”

“Yes. I heard it with my own ears. You can trust me. I have a good memory!” Lu Yunxue said.

“If I’m not mistaken, Sir Chen is going to look for the same doctor. The doctor has the same name too!” Qiao Zhan

piped up.

“Yes, that name does sound familiar,” Cheng Xiangyun echoed.

“Are they the same person? Maybe he has arrived in Livingsfill, but everyone assumed that he is still in Lightspring.”
