Celebrity Girl Is My Wife

Chapter 766

Ning Ran agreed immediately, “Sure.”

“I guess I'll order whatever I want, then?” Lu Jingyuan laughed.

“Of course. Be my guest.”

Lu Jingyuan only ordered a bottle of fruit wine and several snacks for herself.

She raised her glass. “It feels good to see you when I'm alive.”

“You're right. It's because of me that you—”

“Let's let bygones be bygones. There's no point in blaming yourself for what happened. Some things are just meant to be. We have no choice but to accept it.”

“All right, then. Cheers.” Ning Ran and Lu Jingyuan toasted one another.

“How are the children?”

“My brother brought them back to the capital. He said they needed to be treated regularly because of their traumatic experience.”

“Won't you be accompanying them?”

“I'll do so once I've settled matters here. I invited you out today to say goodbye.”

Ning Ran was taken aback. “You're leaving?”

“I wouldn't have considered leaving if not for what happened. My brother said it's too dangerous here and that I shouldn't stay any longer.”

Ning Ran sighed. “This place was merely a pit stop, which I planned to depart from after the shooting concluded. Am I too selfish to feel disappointed that you're leaving before me?”

“Don't worry. We'll meet again. I'll visit you in Flower City when I'm free, and you're always welcome to look for me in the capital. Don't forget to bring along your kids as well. My children and yours are best friends, after all.” Lu Jingyuan chuckled.

Ning Ran returned the smile but felt at a loss.

Lu Jingyuan had been enjoying her time here and had never foreseen that such a catastrophic event would force her to migrate. Ning Ran felt guilty for being the root cause of her evacuation.

“Please be careful. Those men are extremely brutal. I never expected them to be equipped with firearms. We were lucky to have been rescued.”

“Do you mind telling me what happened?”

“They were prepared to bring us across the border. Thankfully, my brother notified the armed forces stationed in the area to snipe at them. They were shot down as they stubbornly resisted.”

Ning Ran gasped in shock. “Every single one of them was shot down?”

“Yes. They were too ruthless. They took me hostage and shot volley after volley at my brother. He had no choice but to finish them off. They were a bunch of seasoned bandits, not just ordinary thieves. Besides, my brother lost someone from his side, so they had to die.”

Ning Ran could imagine the bloodshed back then despite not being present.

She shivered at the thought of being kidnapped and couldn't bear to imagine the consequences of what might have happened to her.

“Who are these people? Does your brother have any idea what their motives are? I know I was the one they'd originally planned to kidnap, but I can't conceive a reason for their actions.”

“I tried asking my brother about it, but he says that investigations are still underway. He keeps such intel to himself most of the time and is rather taciturn, even more so than Mr. Nan.”

“You must be kidding me.” Ning Ran was in disbelief.

“Not at all. He truly is much more reticent than Mr. Nan. All things aside, my brother's assistant urges you all to be more vigilant. Those bandits are part of a syndicate and would most likely seek revenge with the number of casualties they'd suffered.”

“I'll take note of that and inform Nan Chen about it. Actually, I have something in mind I'd like to share with you, but I'm afraid you'd disagree with it.”

“Go on.”

“Since our children are so close to one another and my kids are so fond of yours, I've been wondering if you'd agree to be their godmother.” Ning Ran chuckled bashfully.

Lu Jingyuan was tickled as well.

“I know this may seem abrupt, but I thought it'd be great for the children to have closer ties with one another,” Ning Ran said stiltedly.

“Not at all. As a mother, I would be more than glad to have another child I could call my own. It'd be nice to have a son since I already have two daughters, though. What do you think of Dabao becoming my godson? It's not that I value sons over daughters, but I just thought it'd be comforting to know he'll protect my two daughters when they grow up.” Lu Jingyuan was elated.

“I have no issue with that. My only concern is that Erbao might be upset about it, as she's closest to Yunxue. She'd most definitely want you as her godmother.” Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Both of them can be my godchildren, then,” Lu Jingyuan said, to which Ning Ran replied, “Are you sure that's possible? Wouldn't there be a conflict of interest?”

“I'm not sure, but I don't mind both of them referring to me as their godmother. All I hope for is that my wish of having a godson can be fulfilled.”

“It's settled, then,” Ning Ran said gleefully.

“We'll be family from now on! I can't believe I got a son out of the blue. What luck! Bottoms up!” Lu Jingyuan raised her glass.

“Cheers!”

“Why don't we carry out a ceremony lest you renege on your promise?”

“How's that even possible? My son is blessed to have such a pretty godmother.”

“Either way, I'd feel better if we had a ceremony where we go out for a meal together, and Dabao addresses me as his godmother. By the way, have you discussed this with Mr. Nan and gotten his agreement?” Lu Jingyuan asked.

“My son having a godmother is none of his business. Why in the world should I seek his approval?”

“How could you say that? He's the father of your children. It'll be awkward if he's against the idea.”

“That won't happen. What reason does he have to disagree?”

“Mr. Nan is a bigshot. I'm sure he wouldn't allow any Tom, Dick, and Harry to become his child's godmother. You should at least speak to him about it. I won't hold it against you if he refuses even

though it'll be a shame.”

“I'll tell my kids not to acknowledge him as their father if he dares disagree!”

Ning Ran had no filter in her words after taking several gulps of alcohol.

“You sure are domineering! I guess there's no denying the fact that I've gotten myself a godson now! I've got to inform my brother that I won't be returning tomorrow. I want to treat my godson to a meal and buy him a present. Dabao is currently in Livingsfill, isn't he?” Lu Jingyuan was filled with excitement.

“He is. He wanted to visit your daughters.”

“That's great! What kind of present does he like?”

“That won't be necessary. He already has everything he needs.”

“That simply won't do! I'll definitely get him something he likes. It can't be something cheap, too. So tell me, what exactly does he like?”

Ning Ran considered for a moment. “How about you transfer one million into my bank account instead? I'll make the necessary arrangements.”

“Dream on! I'll be buying the gift myself, thank you very much!”

“I'm not sure, but I don't mind both of them referring to me es their godmother. All I hope for is thet my wish of heving e godson cen be fulfilled.”

“It's settled, then,” Ning Ren seid gleefully.

“We'll be femily from now on! I cen't believe I got e son out of the blue. Whet luck! Bottoms up!” Lu Jingyuen reised her gless.

“Cheers!”

“Either wey, I'd feel better if we hed e ceremony where we go out for e meel together, end Debeo eddresses me es his godmother. By the wey, heve you discussed this with Mr. Nen end gotten his egreement?” Lu Jingyuen esked.

“How could you sey thet? He's the fether of your children. It'll be ewkwerd if he's egeinst the idee.”

“Thet won't heppen. Whet reeson does he heve to disegree?”

“Mr. Nen is e bigshot. I'm sure he wouldn't ellow eny Tom, Dick, end Herry to become his child's godmother. You should et leest speek to him ebout it. I won't hold it egeinst you if he refuses even though it'll be e sheme.”

“I'll tell my kids not to ecknowledge him es their fether if he deres disegree!”
