“Yes.” Lu Shaoming nodded his head and the excitement between his eyebrows was getting more and more obvious.
The girl cleared her throat, took out her tightly held fists, then slowly unwrapped her fingers.
One finger, two fingers, until the eighth finger.
The man gave one glance and laughed saying, “Ten million? Umm, not too bad.”
He could not bear to pour cold water onto her enthusiasm and stretched out her hand to caress her hair with love.
“That’s not right, I was mistaken.” Ning Qing stomped her feet in a panic, why she was so stupid? She unfurled another finger and said, “Add one more finger.”
The man’s large palm that was caressing her hair froze for a second, and he showed amus.e.m.e.nt in his eyes as he said, “A billion?” He placed her small head to the side of his lips and bent down by her ear and murmured, “You have earned so much in half a year; you are so amazing.”
She was really very amazing.
Ning Qing grabbed the collar of his s.h.i.+rt with one small hand. Her small face nudged his neck, and she said softly, “I am still not done.” She stretched out another 3 more fingers and said, “There are still 3 more.”
Lu Shaoming’s dark eyes brightened up and he said with some disbelief, “How come there is so much?”
Ning Qing laughed like silver bells and said, “I invested in Handu Group. This is a global website, but they still do not have a physical shop in the country. I opened a shop in T city to try my luck. The results are still not bad, so I opened 148 franchise shops in the country continuously in the span of half a year.”
Lu Shaoming’s smile got deeper. His large palm cupped her small face, and he used the tip of his nose to nudge her small nose, smelling her sweet breath.
“In the span of this half year, the share prices of Island Wide Media and Entertainment have risen 6 fold, and other than the bonus dividends given to shareholders, I have used all my a.s.sets to speculate in stock prices. Now that the box office for City of Love has raked in one billion five hundred million dollars, the money that I have invested in the studio and media works have all doubled. Two days ago, I was calculating it all, and I think it is about this figure.”
Lu Shaoming kissed her lips, and used a low and touching voice to say, “I have a wife that is so superb at earning money. I feel stressed now.”

Ning Qing’s face was like a flower in bloom. Her small head tilted, and she did not allow him to kiss her. She directly planted herself on his shoulder, and her small hand grabbed onto peanut puffs that he had been unaware of. She threw one into his mouth, and her eyes were sparkling as she laughed. “Stop it, you are not allowed to laugh at me!”
This little amount of money she earned cannot be compared to him; he just knew how to joke around with her.
“Who is joking around with you?” The girl leaned on his shoulder to eat the peanut puff, and the crisp sounds echoed from her mouth. Lu Shaoming felt his heart get itchy because of her. All of the blood in his body was hot and restless. He grabbed her soft waist with his large hand and said, “What are you eating? Give me one.”
He came searching for her soft lips to stop her.
“Hubby, don’t make a fuss.” Ning Qing retreated into her chair, and the disgruntled man’s grip was tight. His handsome eyebrows were comfortably spread out, and he really wanted to eat the peanut crisps in her mouth.
Ning Qing’s small face was bright red. This was a man who paid attention to hygiene and taste. He… How come he was behaving like this now?
The girl could not take it further. Every time she kissed him, she heard the sound of saliva making noise between their mouths and tongues. She would be shy for a half a day.
“Go eat your own!” Her small, fair hand took a peanut crisp and forced it into his mouth, and she used another small hand to push his handsome face away from her.
She felt that the man was going to come near again. The girl was red in the face, and she glared at him. Her red lips and white lips were bright and lively as she said, “I am going to eat my noodles; you are not allowed to disturb me.”
She used her chopsticks to continue eating the bowl of sweet and sour noodles.
Lu Shaoming straightened his body and resentfully withdrew back his hand. He ate the peanut crisps that she fed him. He wore a glove and continued to help her peel the prawn, and he could not help but finally say in a low tone. “Little vixen, after you give birth to the kid, wait and see how I will sort you out!”
Ning Qing: “….” Go away crude man!
Actually inside Lu Shaoming’s heart, the amount of money earned was secondary. What he liked most — what he was obsessed with was her diligent att.i.tude towards life and living.
After marrying him and facing the Lu family, she had many grievances, but she did not once complain. She was also not interested in taking revenge, but she only calmly and logically dissected the matter. She was logical and graceful in her approach.
She accepted with ease that there was a difference in status between the Lu and Ning families. Not only did she not feel inferior, she only worked harder to bridge the gap of not being born into a rich family, and she worked exceptionally hard.
She always had a pa.s.sionate att.i.tude towards life, and she wanted to improve continuously. Being together with her, you would never know what was going on inside her intelligent and quick witted mind. She smiled sweetly at you, and she was able to give you a surprise when she turned around.
Sometimes Lu Shaoming felt that she was the touch of radiance and colour in a mundane life. To him, she was like a b.u.t.terfly kite dancing in the sky, and she pa.s.sed the string that controlled her destiny into your hand and then would say cheekily, Hubby, come run after me.
This was probably the smartest woman on earth, and both her IQ and EQ were off the charts.
She gave herself to the man, and she gave the man a stable home, then tightly held onto the man and made herself the entire world in the man’s life.
There was one sentence that was well said: A good woman was a book that could not be finished. Lu Shaoming knew, Ning Qing was one of them.
…
This day, Lu Shaoming brought Ning Qing back to the Lu home. Ning Qing was dressed in a mid-length lilac dress, and she paired it together with a thin beige over-s.h.i.+rt. She looked elegant and gracious, and it brought along the warmth of home.
The maid came to open the door, and when the pair walked into the living room, 7 or 8 elders of the Lu family were already present. Everyone was gathered in the living room chatting.
Ning Qing had a glance. This was definitely the poster image of a wealthy gathering. They were not loud when they were chatting, every one of them had a cigar in their mouths, and they were crossing their legs looking like a bunch of big bosses.
Song Yajing was not in sight, but Lu Dinghua was present.
Everyone saw Lu Shaoming arrive, and they all stood up and said, “Shaoming, you are here!”
Ning Qing felt glorious. In regards to age, Lu Shaoming was a junior. But he was able to make these cunning old relatives who would take stock and size up the situation stand up to greet their junior like this. She could only imagine the amount of influence Lu Shaoming had.
Lu Shaoming took the lead. He held Ning Qing’s small hand and introduced her individually. “This is my eldest uncle, this is Second Uncle… This is my wife, Ning Qing.”
Everyone channelled their gaze over, and all of their eyes had an air of sharpness when they looked at Ning Qing from top to toe. Ning Qing graciously accepted their gazes with ease, and she used her superb memory to take the lead and followed how Lu Shaoming address them. “Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle…”
“Okay.” The crowd pursed their lips and said, “Shaoming, this girl looks young, but she is gracious and considerate. Your taste is not bad. Dinghua, is time for you to retire and embrace your grandchild now.”
Lu Dinghua glanced once at Ning Qing. He had a satisfied expression in his eyes, and he laughed heartily and said, “I don’t have to trouble all of you to worry about my grandchild. He is already in my daughter in law’s stomach. Oh right, in front of a pregnant woman, everyone should put out your cigars and control yourselves for a while.”
Everyone heard his words and channelled their gazes onto Ning Qing’s stomach. Ning Qing was dressed in a loose dress, but upon closer inspection, she did look to be somewhat pregnant.
Wealthy families placed great importance on their descendants. What’s more, he was the eldest grandchild in the Lu family. The elders squinted their eyes and had other thoughts in their hearts, but they all stubbed their cigars out obediently.
The atmosphere was warm.
“Dad, where is Mother?” Ning Qing asked Lu Dinghua.
“Oh, your mother is busy in the kitchen.”
“Then my uncles all take a seat first. I will go to the kitchen to look for my mother and see what I can lend a hand with,” Ning Qing said as she smiled.
Lu Shaoming gave an expression to Ning Qing at the moment, and he was extremely upset — Don’t go to invite a snub.
Ning Qing winked her eyes and meant — Nothing will go wrong.
Looking at the girl enter the kitchen, the man’s eyebrows had a pampering but helpless vibe. On the way to the Lu home, she had already ordered him to listen to her when they stepped into the Lu home, and she had asked him to not create trouble for her.
Don’t create trouble for her?
Listen to her tone of voice.
She was really spoiled by him.
An elder came to his side. Lu Shaoming carelessly responded to him as he spoke, and the moment the elder left, Lu Shaoming spared a glance in the direction of the kitchen and heard his own father tease him. “With the occasion today, what are you scared of?”
Lu Shaoming looked at him and said without any specific tone in his voice, “I am afraid that your wife will bully my wife.”
1Lu Dinghua: “…” That brat!
…
In the kitchen, Song Yajing was preparing the fruit platter. Actually, wealthy families were strict and harsh on the women in them. A true matriarch not only had to partic.i.p.ate in welcoming the guests, but she also had to be a good cook.
Looking at it this way, Song Yajing was competent in her role.
“Mum, I am here. Are you preparing the fruit platter? Let me help me you; this is what I do best.” Ning Qing took the fruit knife in the helper’s hand.
“Madam.” The helper politely addressed her and retreated from the kitchen.
Song Yajing saw that Ning Qing made her entrance so boldly. She did not hold herself back and really treated this as her own home, and she could not help but be furious. She snorted and said, “Don’t think that you have won. If not for Dinghua’s insistence, I would not let you enter the doors of the Lu home.”
Ning Qing used the fruit knife to cut an apple, and she smiled sweetly. “Mum, talking about this now has no use. I have already entered the big doors of the Lu home. I have met the elders just now. Why don’t you listen? Even the servants have addressed me as Madam. Mum, even if you do not not accept it, it is obvious that I have won.”
“You!” Song Yajing was furious as she clenched her teeth.
“Mum, don’t be angry, have an apple.” Ning Qing used her fair fingers to pick a piece of apple to place it by the side of Song Yajing’s lips, and she fluttered her long lashes and softly reminded her, “Mum, there is someone outside looking at us.”
Song Yajing glanced outside, and there were in fact 3 or 4 elders looking towards her direction.
Song Yajing politely smiled at them and withdrew her gaze.
“Ning Qing, are you satisfied?”
Noting that she was reluctant to eat the apple, Ning Qing casually placed the apple slice into her own mouth. It was both sour and sweet, which was delicious. She squinted her eyes and took a lazy tone to say, “Mum, when Shaoming and I entered the living room, those elders carefully observed me. And they also focused carefully on my stomach for a long time. Now the elders are looking at us, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. I don’t know if they are waiting for a show to occur? Talking about being satisfied, if Mum did not decide to rip into our relations.h.i.+p at the Ou family charity gala two day ago, how would I have gained so many people’s attention?”
Song Yajing did not have anything to say. She was indeed rash during the Ou family charity gala. She had pushed both herself and Ning Qing into everyone’s line of vision.
“Mum, it doesn’t matter how much you battle it out with me. We are still family at the end of the day. Let’s not battle it out for others to laugh at us. Furthermore, we cannot allow others to gain due to our differences.”
“Hmph!” Song Yajing did not know that this girl was so clear in her mind and understood everything so clearly. She threw the fruit in her hands onto the gla.s.s counter and said, “You want to help me arrange the fruit platter right? Then you arrange it, and take your time while you’re at it.”
Song Yajing turned and left.
