Chapter 133: Destined
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
He made her heart flutter and had given her the best love.
She didn’t know when she started liking him, but her love for him was deep.
Destined?
He and she were destined!
She was gasping for breath as he kissed her, and her body was not under her control. When she was lost in herself, she felt that something had been stuffed into her little hand which was stained with floral juices.
“What?”
“Handkerchief.” He kissed her delicate skin. “Three years ago, the one you used to restrict the flow of my blood. I kept it. Wifey, this symbolizes the beginning of our love. It was once stained with my blood. Let’s use it to sop yours today. Let it be our witness, witness that you belong to me now.”
Ning Qing couldn’t speak. She could only cling to his shoulder. Knowing that it wasn’t enough, she looked sideways and kissed him.
As her consciousness faded. She didn’t know where she was.
When the sweat beads on Lu Shaoming’s forehead rolled off one by one, Ning Qing’s cell phone rang at the bedside. The girl could not hear at all. He glanced at it and saw that it was Xu Junxi.
His originally dark eyes grew darker and darker. Stretching his arm, he brought the cell phone to the pillow, and with a press, he picked up the call.
“h.e.l.lo, Ning Qing…” At this moment, Xu Junxi, who was standing outside the Tea Pavilion Villa, saw the call go through. He was surprised. He was so excited that he couldn’t speak at all but suddenly realized that something was wrong.
The phone resonated with the sounds of a man and a woman. He understood it in a flash, and his entire person was shocked.
“Does it hurt, Wifey?” The man asked softly.
“No… Shaoming, I finally belong to you. Shaoming, I love you.”
…
The cell phone in his hand fell to the ground. Xu Junxi looked inside through the vintage fence with Vintage Carved flowers. He looked up. There was no light in a window on the second floor, but a single red candle’s flame flickered.
Tonight, it was their wedding night.
Xu Junxi turned around, full of depression as he left step by step. At last, his legs weakened and he fell on the ground.
“Qingqing… Qingqing…” Xu Junxi hugged the towel in his arms and buried his entire face, bursting into tears.
He finally realized that he and Ning Qing could not go back to the way things were.
…
Xu Junxi sat on the ground until two o’clock in the morning. When he stood up, he looked back. The red candle flame in the window had just burned out and a dim yellow light was on in the room.
The corner of his mouth hooked self mockingly. He left.
Since this was the case, he should bear the pain and bless them.
They were both men, but Lu Shaoming had vividly interpreted a man’s love for a woman after half a year of flash marriage with his new wife who didn’t want him.
Other people were right; Ning Qing deserved someone better.
It was good that she had married Lu Shaoming.
On the street, in a KTV, a group of drunken men and women walked out. Xu Junxi saw a familiar person among the group of people.
“Xu Lin!” Xu Junxi came forward and rudely dragged Xu Lin out of the group.
Xu Lin was drunk and didn’t recognize Xu Junxi. She muttered, “Handsome man, who are you? You’re not thinking of picking me up, are you?”
Xu Junxi’s eyes grew red, and in his depressed state, a cold rage burned in him. He dragged Xu Lin by her clothes to the sprinkler in front of the KTV door with one hand, and then pressed her head into the cold water.
Xu Lin suddenly woke up. When Xu Junxi let go of her, she coughed and collapsed on the ground.
“Xu Lin, why couldn’t I get through to you today when I called you? The school expels you, so you go to KTV to drink and sing with your friends. Who gave you the money to do this?”
Xu Lin smoothed out her breathing, looked up at Xu Junxi and complained, “Cousin, you can just talk to me calmly if you have something to say. Why do you have to be on my case? Were you going to murder me? You’re not sleeping but out here at two or three o’clock at night, and you still have the gall to interrogate me? Do you deserve Sister in law Yaoyao like this?”
Ning Yao?
Xu Junxi looked down and sneered, “Xu Lin, I remember you looked down upon Ning Yao before. Sister-in-law Yaoyao? When did you become so close to her? Could she have given you something?”
Xu Lin’s heart skipped a beat. She had just sobered up and spoke without thinking. She stood up and shouted, “Cousin, what do you mean by that? Do you think everyone else lacks a conscience like you? Ning Yao has lost her parents. Now she’s with you and pregnant but not married. Whoever who looks at her would pity her.”
Xu Junxi sneered. He knew exactly what kind of person Xu Lin was. Would she pity others without an ulterior motive?
Her response makes it seem like she’s hiding something. It seems that Ning Yao and Xu Lin really had a secret!
“Xu Lin, how did you know about Ning Qing and Mu Yunfan three years ago? Who told you to slander Ning Qing in school?”
“Slander? Cousin, you know what happened three years ago. Have you also been deceived?”
“Hah, deceived? This phrase had really enlightened me. Maybe I’ve been deceived for three years or more and I hadn’t even known! ” said Xu Junxi with a meaningful smile. “Xu Lin, you help people do things, but have you seen the real face of the person? Now that the person has been defeated, I will surely find out the main culprit behind this matter. You be careful; the person might do something unfavorable to you.”
Xu Lin shrank in fear. “What do you mean, Cousin?”
“Oh, nothing much. I’m just reminding you that maybe that person is afraid of the exposure and will have to kill you.”
“No, no… Cousin, hehe, you’re joking with me.”
Xu Junxi took Xu Lin’s panic and fear into perspective. As Ning Qing had said, the person had thought that she had won, so she had used a silly chess piece like Xu Lin.
“Xu Lin, take care of yourself.” Xu Junxi did not speak anymore. He turned around and left.
…
Ning Yao had not fallen asleep. She was terrified now that things had failed. Xu Junxi was investigating Xu Lin. She was afraid that Xu Lin would expose her.
Now that her mother was gone, she had no one to hatch her schemes with.
The most aggravating thing was that Xu Junxi hadn’t come back for two days. He doesn’t answer his phone calls and doesn’t take care of the child in her stomach at all.
At 2:30 am at night, Ning Yao received a call from Xu Lin. Xu Lin didn’t say anything; she just asked her for two million dollars. Xu Lin wanted to study abroad.
Ning Yao couldn’t get that much money within a short period of time, so she comforted her and asked Xu Lin to wait out this tense period. Right as they were speaking, the door of the villa was pushed open and someone came in.
Ning Yao hung up the phone quickly. She ran out to take a look. She was elated. “Junxi, are you back!”
Xu Junxi did not change his shoes. He nodded coldly and went into the living room and sat on the sofa. He asked, “Why are you still awake so late?”
Ning Yao quickly bore an expression of grief. “Junxi, you haven’t come back for two nights. The villa is empty and cold. The baby kicks so hard at night that I can’t sleep.”
Xu Junxi glanced at the cell phone in her hand and sneered. “Isn’t it because you were talking to someone on the phone?”
Ning Yao’s pupils shrank. As she hid her cell phone behind her reflexively. Shucks, she had forgotten to put down her phone.
But she thought that he might not know that she was calling Xu Lin, so she explained softly, “I couldn’t sleep, so I was chatting with one of my girlfriends to pa.s.s time.”
Ning Yao did not know that Xu Junxi and Xu Lin had met in front of a KTV.
Maybe if she knew, she wouldn’t say that.
“Alright, I’ll leave after sitting for a while. Come here. I have something to tell you.”
Ning Yao’s heart tightened, she suddenly had a bad feeling.
She went over and sat beside Xu Junxi. She reached out and took Xu Junxi’s arm. She touched her bulging belly with a small hand. She smiled softly and wittily. “Junxi, what do you want to tell me? The doctor said that the baby has already developed its sense of hearing. If the father dared to bully his mother, the baby could hear it.”
Xu Junxi’s face relaxed, and he reached out to touch Ning Yao’s belly.
When Ning Yao saw him like this, she was filled with joy. She knew that the child was his weakness. “Junxi, baby…”
“When the baby is born, I will bring him up. He is my first child. This will never change.”
Ning Yao was completely frozen. She stared at him incredulously. He would raise her baby. What about her?
“Junxi, what do you mean? Am I not the baby’s mother? Did you forget that you said the other day that you would give me a t.i.tle and that you would not let us suffer?”
Xu Junxi retracted his hand and looked at Ning Yao. His gaze was wavering a little. He seemed to sigh and ask, “Yaoyao, I remember I knew you when you were three years old, but at that time I only had Ning Qing in my eyes and you may as well have not existed. But why did I get together with you all of a sudden three years ago? How did you enter my eyes, step by step?”
Ning Yao was speechless. “Junxi, you… Why do you ask that?”
“Oh, I remember that it was three years ago that you hurt your forehead to save me, and then Ning Qing and Mu Yunfan had an accident. Ah.” Xu Junxi brushed away the bangs in front of Ning Yao’s forehead and looked at the shallow pink scar. He lightly laughed. “Yaoyao, you care about your image. You spend a lot of money on cosmetology and buy famous-branded bags. But now that medicine is so developed, why don’t you do a small operation to remove the scar on your forehead? Did you intentionally leave it for me to see, to always remind me, to make me feel guilty?”
Ning Yao shook her head like a rattle drum. “I, I didn’t, Junxi, I love you. I would even throw my life away for you, I…”
“Hah…haha,” Xu Junxi laughed again, which frightened Ning Yao. “Yes, with these words of love… You’ve repeated them for three years, and I never tired of hearing them. But now, since I’ve learned that Ning Qing is a virgin, I look back at my previous actions, only to find that my mistakes were out of line. My insight has changed. I gradually came to understand that which I did not understand before.”
That which he did not understand?
Ning Yao dared not ask. She could not ruin her relations.h.i.+p with Xu Junxi; she still had to enter the doors of the Xu family as Mrs. Xu.
“Junxi, you said all this to break up with me, right? I knew that once you will have learned that Ning Qing is still a virgin, you’d regret being with me. If you want to abandon me and our son, you can say so clearly and I won’t blame you. I’ll just take it that I had fed my youth and efforts all these years to a dog, I’ll take it that I had loved the wrong person!” Ning Yao is emotional and preemptive.
Xu Junxi stood up slowly, totally ignoring her mood, but he felt sad. “Before, I hadn’t wanted the girl that others all felt was good. I had chosen you. Yes, I do owe you. It’s true that you had saved me. It’s true that you had given me your first time. It’s true that the baby in your stomach is mine.” he said.
Xu Junxi looked sharply at Ning Yao. “But you’d better not let me find out that you played me like your mother, Li Meiling, did to Ning Qing’s father! I allow myself to make mistakes, but will never allow others to trick me to make mistakes. I hate being tricked and exploited most in my life. I hope you are innocent of this.”
Ning Yao was in turmoil. Xu Junxi was full of suspicion towards her both inside and outside. He just lacks concrete evidence.
She suddenly stood up. Her eyes closed and she burst into tears. “Junxi, do you doubt me? Alright, to show you that I’m innocent, I’m going to bash my head against the pillars today. I’ll give one dead body and two ended lives!” Ning Yao said as she rushed towards the pillars.
“Ning Yao!” Xu Junxi roared lowly behind her.
Ning Yao slowed down and waited for him to catch up. She cried and said, “Junxi, don’t stop me. I don’t want to live without you. Let me die.”
“If you want to die today, I won’t stop you.” Xu Junxi said coldly.
Ning Yao felt as if her entire body had been thrown in a freezer. He…What was he talking about?
The pillar was already in front of her. Now it was awkward for Ning Yao to bash her head, but it was also awkward for her not to bash.
After a long silence, she was afraid of death. Her cheeks were burning hot, but she finally gritted her teeth and stopped.
“Ning Yao, if you want to give birth to the child, then I will raise it and give you a lot of money, provided you are innocent of course. If in the future, if you want to threaten me with your death, then I will only tell you, do whatever you want.”
The door opened, and Xu Junxi left.
Ning Yao collapsed on the ground. She looked around in a panic and bewilderment. What should she do? What should she do?
Xu Junxi was determined to let her go!
She couldn’t lose, she couldn’t lose.
…
The next morning.
Ning Qing opened her eyes slowly. Her entire body was so sore it was as if it was not hers. Her fair wrist lay on the sheets. It was difficult for her to even grasp a handful of air.
Her snow-white tender arms were covered with blue and purple hickies, and it wasn’t hard to think that the man last night wouldn’t let go of a single inch.
Ning Qing’s eyelashes fluttered, as the familiar red flush crept up her beautiful face. Because she was shy, she moved and tried to retract her slender arm back under the quilt.
But it was only after this movement that she found herself asleep on her side while being hugged tightly by the man behind her.
Memories of last night flooded in and Ning Qing burned up, but the strong smell in the room had not yet dissipated.
She bit her red lips with her pearly white teeth and turned quietly to look at the man.
Lu Shaoming was naked. The snow-white bedding only covered up to his waist. His mature and healthy male body was strong and s.e.xy. Ning Qing took a peek at him and scored 120 points in her heart.
Below was his perfect V line and his six pack, very powerful.
He did not seem to exercise much; why was his body so toned? He looked slim in clothes and muscular without. He was a natural clothes rack.
Ning Qing held back her shame and looked up at his face. He was so handsome, they hadn’t gone to sleep until two or three in the morning. His forehead was still covered with sweat and it made her heart pound.
He was probably exhausted.
Ning Qing’s heart ached for him, and she quietly reached out her little hand to wipe his sweat.
Before she could touch him, her little hand was suddenly held by a big dry palm. The man laughed in a low and mellow tone as he asked, “What are you doing? Didn’t you have enough last night?”
Ning Qing quickly pulled back her little hand. She had been caught peeping. It was so embarra.s.sing.
