“There’s no question. Doesn’t marriage mean meeting the right person at the right time? Ning Qing, I like you. I happen to need a wife so I want to marry you. You need a man to rely on and keep you company, so you wouldn’t feel lonely. You like me so you marry me. The two of us can become a family.”
The man’s deep and serene eyes reflected the resplendent lights outside the window. It was as though she looked into two pool of beautiful yet dangerous whirlpools.
The handsome sculpted face, elegant temperament, great personality, and self-control… The man was very attractive. Ning Qing admitted that she liked this type.
But…
Ning Qing shook her head, “No way… We’ve only known each other for such a short time. I don’t know you yet… And I’m not ready to get married yet. My life is a mess… Maybe you will regret it in the future. I’m not as good as you may think…”
Lu Shaoming touched Ning Qing’s hair pitifully and said lightly, “You’re like this. How great do you want me to imagine you to be?”
“You!” Even though he said it in a jokingly manner, Ning Qing was upset. Was that how he’d propose? She extended her fist and punched his shoulders, “Then, why do you talk about getting married?”
Lu Shaoming pulled her into his embrace and kissed her face, “But Ning Qing, the person I like and want to marry is you.”
Hence, there was no imagination.
Ning Qing felt touched. The man’s embrace was comforting and warm. Even the lips that kissed her cheeks gave a light peck, with no s.e.xual desire. It was as though she was his most precious treasure.
How did she come across such a man?
She felt delighted. She felt his gentility and consideration at his every action. She believed that any woman couldn’t refuse such a man.
However, after Xu Junxi’s betrayal, she was suspicious and against love.
Plus, her life was really in a mess. She was worried that he would really forsake her when he knew more about her.
I need time to think about it,” Ning Qing was careful in his embrace as she tugged his s.h.i.+rt and said.
Lu Shaoming, “Alright. You need time, I can wait. But Ning Qing, I, Lu Shaoming, am thirty this year. I am healthy in mind and body. I have great qualities. I am really considering marrying you very seriously, I hope you could consider seriously too.”
“Mm.”
…
Ning Qing woke up very early the next morning. The night before, she twisted and turned but couldn’t fall asleep. She kept reciting the man’s name, Lu Shaoming.
His confession and proposal on the previous night was like a dream. For the past three years, the men who approached her never lacked money but they were all greedy and perverse. Among, it included Xu Junxi. However, Lu Shaoming was like a pure jade that warmed her heart.
She shook her head and swung out Lu Shaoming’s flawless and handsome face. She quickly got off her bed, washed her face and brushed teeth. She still had to earn her mother’s surgery fees.
After she left her bedroom door, she took out her phone to read the message that Xiao Zhou sent to her. The message showed her the hotel room number that she was going to.
Ning Qing sat on the public bus and read the headline for entertainment.
It was expected. It was news about Xu Junxi’s public announcement of Ning Yao as his girlfriend. The headlines included the fact that Ning Yao got the role of the Pink Lady, as well as Li Meiling’s scandal as a mistress.
Ning Qing smirked. She didn’t understand what Xu Junxi was doing. He could easily suppress the news about Li Meiling’s scandal if he wished.
But, he just let her be exposed.
She read through Li Meiling’s column. As Li Meiling was low profile for the past few years, the media hardly had any other news. Besides Li Meiling married into the Ning family three years ago, there was no other valuable information.
The scandal stirred a commotion. However, Li Meiling didn’t respond at all. What’s ridiculous was that Li Meiling was supported by the digital citizens for her tough personality. Everyone started leaving comments about how Ning Yao wasn’t Ning Zhenguo’s daughter and every woman deserves their right to go after happiness.
Such a joke. Everyone forgot the fact that Li Meiling chased after her happiness while she and her mother became the price to pay.
With the headlines, Li Meiling and Ning Yao suddenly became the top topic on the search engine and Weibo hit topic.
Ning Qing understood that, as Li Meiling’s daughter and Xu Junxi’s girlfriend, Ning Yao’s first exposure was done nicely. They treated danger as an opportunity. The two of them successfully made Ning Yao famous.
Ning Yao got famous.
Ning Qing kept her phone and looked outside the window. She couldn’t believe that Li Meiling’s incident was only the beginning. If she was not mistaken, Xu Junxi would take action soon.
She chuckled. The world was simply either black or white. The public will not be deceived forever. Go ahead. She shall see how they going to fix the lie where Ning Yao wasn’t Ning Zhenguo’s daughter.
…
Ning Qing got off the public bus and walked into the hotel.
Ning Qing didn’t know that there was a luxurious car parked by the road and Ning Yao took out her phone to take a photo of Ning Qing walking into the hotel.
Ning Yao’s a.s.sistant Xiao Lin stood next to her. Xiao Lin was chosen by Xu Junxi carefully. There was intelligence in her eyes. She walked forward and asked Ning Yao gently, “Yaoyao, you suddenly stopped the car to take a photo of Ning Qing? You just entered the entertainment circle. You’d better not be involved in any negative news.”
Ning Yao looked at the photo in her phone delightedly. She was on the way to Xu Junxi’s office. She never thought she would run into such a scene.
“Xiao Lin, don’t you worry. This photo is nothing. I’m not that dumb to send the photo to the media,” she merely wanted to show the photo to Xu Junxi. Ha.
Xiao Lin nodded and ingratiate herself with Ning Yao, “Yaoyao, you’re famous now and you have a good image. Ning Qing is simply in a mud pool compared to you. She’s nowhere near you.”
Ning Yao was happy to hear what she said. She then revealed a proud face, “Let’s go and look for Junxi.”
…
Ning Qing pushed the hotel room door open. It was early in the morning and there should be brilliant sunlight pouring in the room but the room curtain was tightly shut.
She walked in and the door was shut by the man who was hiding behind the door. The man couldn’t wait and hugged Ning Qing’s waist from behind. He said excitedly, “My little beauty, you’re finally here. I’ve been waiting.”
Ning Qing had gooseb.u.mps all over. She held back her discomfort and disgust, she laughed, “CEO Kong, why are you in a hurry? I’m here, aren’t I?”
“The most precious time is priceless. When I received your invitation last night, I was excited all night long. How can I not be in a hurry?” The man carried Ning Qing and threw her on the bed.
She saw the fat bald man going to press down on her, she quickly stopped him and tucked her hair behind her ears. She blinked her beautiful eyes bashfully and said in a flirtatious manner, “CEO Kong, take off your clothes first.”
CEO Kong laughed, “I never thought the little beauty would be even more in a hurry than I am. Alright, let’s go straight to the point. Don’t worry, as long as you serve me well, the one million will be yours.”
Ning Qing watched as CEO Kong took off his clothes. He was in a hurry and when he failed to open his b.u.t.ton, he tore it apart. She found him rather absurd.
“CEO Kong, I heard that you have many mistresses. How do they serve you normally?”
CEO Kong took off his pants and said proudly, “I’m not showing off. I have at least twenty mistresses. As to how they serve me…” CEO Kong eyes Ning Qing’s nice body and leaped forward, “Little beauty, let’s give it a try and you’ll find out.”
Ning Qing flipped to the other side of the bed so CEO Kong didn’t manage to catch her.
CEO Kong stiffened.
Ning Qing saw and she slowly crawled. She knelt on the bed and glanced at CEO Kong flirtatiously. She slowly yet seductively took off the black stockings that she intentionally wore that morning.
CEO Kong’s unhappy emotions were swept away. Looking at how her black stockings slid down slowly and revealed her flat tummy and fair smooth skin, he nearly drooled.
Ning Qing then quickly pulled it back again. She bit her red lips with her white teeth and said timidly, “CEO Kong, I heard that your wife is very amazing. Would she find us and beat me up?”
“Don’t bring up the tigress with me. If it wasn’t because her family was wealthy back then and they’d be able to help me in my career, I wouldn’t have married her. Little beauty, don’t you worry. She’s old now. After I slowly transfer all my property in the company to my overseas account, I will kick her out and bring you with me.”
Just then, the door swung open.
CEO Kong was shocked. He found that he was interrupted and he wanted to curse. But two bodyguards who came from the door and tied him up.
“What are you doing? Let go of me…” CEO Kong struggled. Then, a rich lady who dressed extravagantly walked in and CEO Kong’s face grew grave, “Wife…”
“Humph, old?” The rich lady slapped CEO Kong twice.
CEO Kong didn’t dare to fight back. He looked at Ning Qing on the bed and wailed, “Wife, it’s the b.i.t.c.h that seduced me. I was possessed… Wife, I love you. Give me another chance…”
Ning Qing got off the bed, her clothing all on. She walked before the rich lady and took out a recording pen, “Mrs Kong, I completed my task. This is the evidence of your husband cheating.”
CEO Kong was shocked. This…
The rich lady took the pen and “pfft” at CEO Kong. She rolled her eyes in disdain and said, “You thought only you wanted to get a divorce? There are so many young men outside. I’m the one who doesn’t like you old! You’re such an old fox. You don’t leave any evidence behind when you cheat. I had no choice but to work with Miss Ning. You’re possessed and let your guard down. That’s great. We can divorce now and the shared properties are now all mine. Haha.”
“You!” CEO Kong stared and wanted to scold her. However, his wife waved and her bodyguard stuffed a paper ball into his mouth then dragged him out.
