How would there be anyone better?
“Is your husband treating you well?” Shen Qing Huai asked.
Hearing this, Ning Sheng was taken aback.
It seemed like this was the first time someone had asked such a question.
“He’s very good,” Ning Sheng replied. “There’s no one better than him.”
That was Ning Sheng’s evaluation of Lu Chu Yao. He was outstanding and powerful, but in front of her, he was always the same as when they first met unserious and full of nonsense. However, he gave her a great sense of security.
“Is that so?” Shen Qing Huai’s eyes dimmed.
Ning Sheng smiled, “Yes.”
“I can tell, your heart and eyes… are all filled with him,” Shen Qing Huai said.
His confession came too late.
The previous subtle confession seemed useless now. After all, Ning Sheng did not take it to heart at all. Originally, he wanted to stand in the most dazzling position and tell Ning Sheng that he had liked her for a long time. But now, it seemed that there was no need for that anymore.
Ning Sheng was married and had a husband, and she liked her husband very much.
“You will also meet someone whose heart and eyes are all filled with you. I appreciate the meal today, but let me pay this time. After all, you treated me to the concert last time.” Ning Sheng stood up and smiled as she continued, “Shen Qing Huai, you are a shining idol on stage. Don’t blush and stutter in the future.”
With that, she left the private room.
Shen Qing Huai suddenly realized that she intended to pay the bill.
He quickly followed her outside, after putting on a mask and hat to avoid being recognized. When he saw that Ning Sheng was already at the cashier, he immediately walked over. He stepped in front of Ning Sheng and firmly said, “I’ll take care of it. I invited you.”
Ning Sheng hesitated for a moment, but then noticed that the cashier was watching them. Afraid that Shen Qing Huai would be recognized, she nodded. “Alright, then next time I’ll…” She stopped. There might not be a next time. “How much is it?” Shen Qing Huai asked the cashier.
Ning Sheng gave Shen Qing Huai a look and left ahead of him.
Shen Qing Huai watched as Ning Sheng left. With a mask and a hat on, Shen Qing Huai felt less fl.u.s.tered and stuttering, perhaps because they blocked his emotions. Alas, Ning Sheng was already married.
“Sir, it’s settled,” the cashier said.
“Thanks.” He nodded, then took his card and left.
The cashier watched Shen Qing Huai’s departing figure and frowned. He seemed to be a big celebrity, right? Who was the woman with him just now? She was so good-looking! Could she be… his girlfriend?!
Shen Qing Huai left the restaurant but couldn’t find Ning Sheng anymore.
He returned to his private car, and as soon as he got in, his a.s.sistant Xiao Lai rushed up, eagerly asking, “Boss, how did it go? How did it go?”
The way she gossiped!
“She’s married,” Shen Qing Huai said.
Xiao Lai was dumbfounded. It’s her boss’s first love!
She’s married!
“Aren’t you sad, boss? Let me comfort you.” Xiao Lai’s words were like rubbing salt on his wound. She continued, “This shouldn’t have happened! Who is her husband? Is he more powerful than you? More handsome than you??”
Shen Qing Huai remained silent.
“Why didn’t you fight for your chance?!” Xiao Lai asked.
Shen Qing Huai wasn’t in a good mood to begin with, and hearing her words, he couldn’t help but respond, “Fight for what? Fight to be Ning Sheng’s kept man? Let her support me??”
This sounded so lowly.
“Where’s your spirit, boss??”
The Shen family had always thought Shen Qing Huai was gay, but now that he finally liked a woman who could save him from his struggles, she ended up getting married!!
