Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
What did she say he was?
Lu Shaoming lifted his eyebrows and said, “Ning Qing, if you dare, then repeat your words.”
She of course did not dare.
Ning Qing pushed him away and jumped out of his embrace. The elevator stopped at Bas.e.m.e.nt 1. She broke into a dash and exited. “Shaoming, do you think if you asked me to repeat it once more, that I would do so? I will not. I am ashamed. Come and chase me. If you are able to catch me, then I will say it.”
Ning Qing waved her hand taunting him while she ran.
Looking at the girl run like a little bunny, Lu Shaoming…did not chase after her. There were people around. Everyone’s eyes slowly focused on them.
He cleared his throat. He had one of his hands in his pocket, and the other was holding onto the car keys. He took big strides to catch up with her happy steps.
The two of them sat inside the Bentley. Lu Shaoming looked sideways at the girl who was fastening her safety beat and asked in a low voice, “Ning Qing, where are we going to now?”
Where were they going?
They had dinner, they had gone shopping, and now it was time to head home.
Ning Qing lifted her gaze to look towards the man. The man’s gaze was deep and did not divulge any emotions. He had two rows of cold flames dancing below his eyes. He…would not want to not bring her home, right?
She did not want him not to.
They were now a couple. She did not want him to have it so easy.
“Shaoming, bring me home please.”
Lu Shaoming nodded his head and said, “Okay.”
The Bentley headed out.
…
The Bentley cruised on the main streets. Ning Qing was playing with her phone and inserted the SIM card that Xiao Zhou had given her inside.
Lu Shaoming looked at her and said, “Ning Qing, what card is that?”
Ning Qing turned on the phone while answering him,” Oh, I lost my phone in Finland. This SIM card is a replacement card for my old phone number. Xiao Zhou helped me get a new card.”
Lu Shaoming’s hands that were on the steering wheel tightened. Oh no. The phone number had been deactivated, but the messages and call logs still remained.
At this moment, he saw a stream of light; her phone was switched on.
Lu Shaoming immediately stretched out his left hand to grab onto her phone and said, “Ning Qing, let me borrow your phone for a second.”
Seeing that he was grabbing her phone without her permission, Ning Qing speedily hid the phone behind her back and she pouted her pink lips and said, “Shaoming, what are you doing? Gee, you seem to look very nervous.”
Lu Shaoming: “…”
At this moment, the phone in Ning Qing’s palm rang, the ringtone together with the vibrations rang for a long time, and Ning Qing murmured in shock, “Who sent me a text? It seems that I got a lot of messages.”
Lu Shaoming,”….” The girl beside him already clicked open the message.
The car cabin became quiet in an instant.
Ning Qing looked for a while. She had 66 missed calls and 42 unread message. She was taken aback. Who was looking for her? The person seemed to be in a rush.
After opening the call log and text messages, she saw that they were all from a number she just labelled “Husband”; it was the man beside her.
She opened it all, one by one.
Ning Qing was flabbergasted, and she was moved…
She held onto her phone, and the Bentley had already stopped in front of the Ning Villa. Lu Shaoming saw that the girl did not move. He held back the embarra.s.sment, and bent his body to reach over to release her safety belt. “… I didn’t know you lost your phone. I thought that you were angry with me, and did not want to bother with me anymore…”
The moment he said those words, his palm was wet. The tears in the girl’s eyes trickled down onto his hands.
Lu Shaoming was taken aback. He released the safety belt and cupped her small face. Her face was teary and she was sobbing. Lu Shaoming felt sorry for her and he comforted her gently. “What’s wrong, why are you crying?” I also did not send anything. Maybe at the start I was not in a good mood. Don’t be angry…”
Ning Qing pitifully took a breath through her red nose and tightened her fingers into a fist to punch him. “Still think that you are not shy on the outside but wild on the inside? You obviously are! You look cold and cool on the outside, and still did not bother with me. Actually you like me so much didn’t you? Oh, Lu Shaoming, you are so bad. You made me upset for so long.”
Lu Shaoming was tickled by her. What did she mean by liking her so much? Wasn’t she being a bit of a narcissist?
“Yes yes, okay. Don’t cry, don’t cry. I am…I admit I am shy on the outside but wild on the inside, okay? Is that okay now?” He did not like this description. A man with his status in other women’s eyes was considered a treasure, how did it devalue so much in her eyes?
But he comforted her and kissed her lightly on her red lips.
Ning Qing lifted her small head and allowed him to kiss her. Although he had lost his memory, the gentlemanliness in his bones has not changed at all. He did not behave like other men and roughly kiss her; he only brushed against her lips twice and opened his mouth to peck her bit by bit.
He was being very careful towards her.
Ning Qing closed her eyes and took the initiative to reciprocate twice although she was inexperienced.
Those few days, she was so upset. He had a cold face whenever she saw him, and she thought that he did not care about her at all. She did not know that he could also soften his voice and say, “Sorry.”
And also confessed that he liked her so sincerely…
This man… When she left for the airport in Finland, he never stopped calling her, no matter whether it was day or night. He was messed up because of her, and all he could think of was her.
The two of them kissed a while on the lips, then Lu Shaoming left her lips and he still cupped his hands on her face and stuck himself on her small nose and asked hoa.r.s.ely, “Now, are you going back?”
“What?” She answered him while she was in a blur.
“Go back a little later okay?”
After he spoke those words, her front pa.s.senger seat was reclined by him. She lay flat and his long, lean body was pinned onto her. His left arm held onto her soft waist. His right hand held onto her small head. Like this, the light outside the window could not come into her eyes, and she fell entirely into his warm embrace. All her senses were filled with his mesmerising, cold, crisp air.
He kissed her lips.
“Ooh.” Ning Qing let out a giggle. His gentle and considerate actions made her fall deeper for him, not to mention how comfortable her body was at this moment.
Her small hand held his collar firmly, and she opened her mouth and let him enter.
“What did you eat, why is your mouth so sweet?” he asked intimately.
Ning Qing avoided his probing tongue, and she said, “Sour plum.” She recently really wanted to eat something sour. “Don’t you like this taste?”
“I like it.” It was sour and sweet.
Just like her as a person.
Ning Qing closed her eyes to enjoy his kiss. When they were kissing, the man’s hand was very polite at first. She did not know when, but the hand that he fastened on her soft waist squeezed her twice, then was fumbling inside her clothes.
After a while, the man realized that she was wearing a denim overalls. The clothes were not made with ease-of-access in mind. He paused for two seconds, and his large hand slowly came to the shoulder strap of her denim pants.
He lightly fumbled around for a while. He wanted to undo it, but he was
embarra.s.sed.
Ning Qing held onto his chest to avoid his kiss. She was in his embrace and she gurgled with laughter. “Young Master Lu, what are you doing? Do you want to remove my clothes?”
The man was looking at her while he was leaning on top of her body. That pair of bright eyes were hot, and his handsome face had a touch of red.
She figured out his what he was thinking.
Although wanting to touch her on the first day of a relations.h.i.+p was a bit of a rush, he just couldn’t control himself.
The more Ning Qing saw him, the cuter he became. Who would she like other than her own man? Her delicate face had the faint red color of a rose. If he wanted it, it was not like it couldn’t be done…
Ning Qing slowly stretched out her hand to place it on her shoulder strap.
But at this moment, “Qingqing…” Yue Wanqing walked out from the villa.
They were kissing inside the car for half an hour. Neither of them could control it. They were in the heat of things, and with Yue Wanqing’s sudden appearance, they both regained their senses.
“Shaoming, my mother is here.” Ning Qing pushed him away.
Lu Shaoming could not control himself. He took advantage of her daughter in the car, and it was good that their clothes were still on. If they would have removed them, it would be utterly embarra.s.sing.
Lu Shaoming distanced himself, and Ning Qing adjusted her clothing and quickly got out of the car.
Lu Shaoming also got out of the car.
“Qingqing.” Yue Wanqing held onto her daughter’s small hand, and she was surprised when she saw Lu Shaoming. “Young Master Lu, I saw your car arrive when I was inside. But almost an hour pa.s.sed, and I still did not see you two leave the car. Qingqing, you also, why didn’t you invite Young Master Lu to come inside to have a cup of tea?”
Ning Qing’s face was bright red and she explained, “Mum, I was discussing matters with Young Master Lu just now… He’s not thirsty, he doesn’t want to drink tea.”
Lu Shaoming cleared his throat lightly. In his vision, the girl’s moist red lips flew by and he politely said to Yue Wanqing, “Aunt, I will come to visit you all when I am free next time. I have to go.”
“Okay, Young Master Lu please drive safe.”
Lu Shaoming looked one last time at the girl. Her bright eyes still could not bear to part with him. If not for the fact that her mother was present, she would definitely give him a big hug.
Lu Shaoming boarded the car and the Bentley slowly drove off.
After the Bentley disappeared from sight, Yue Wanqing held onto Ning Qing and walked inside the villa. She smiled and asked, “Qingqing, how is your relations.h.i.+p with Lu Shaoming developing now?”
“Umm, not bad.”
Yue Wanqing was relieved momentarily and said, “That is good. You and Lu Shaoming were originally a couple. Mum hopes that you two will be okay again. Oh right, Qingqing, I was organizing your dad’s clothes today and I realized that two pieces were missing. Have you seen them?”
Ning Qing straightened her waist, and she quickly shook her head and said, “No! Mum, you probably remember incorrectly, who would steal clothes nowadays?”
Yue Wanqing sighed and agreed. “I think so too. I am starting to forget things as I grow old.”
….
Ning Qing officially bought the shares of Island Wide Media and Entertainment, and she became an official key shareholder. Both parties signed the contract and proceeded with the ribbon cutting ceremony. The share prices of Island Wide Media and Entertainment instantly shot up.
Ning Qing bought a 3 story administrative office in the center of T city, and Ning Qing’s studio officially opened.
One day, she held a press conference and brought 12 artists who were familiar to the audience. She introduced them as artists working under her management. The media personnel were all abuzz with this development.
Ning Qing introduced her next project. It was a drama that was adapted from a web romance novel set in the city.
When the press conference was halfway done, the big doors of the room opened. Zhu Rui brought someone along to bring flowers. They were big blossoms of King protea flowers, commonly known as the Bodhi flower.
“Wow!” The crowd of journalist took in a breath of air.
Zhu Rui stepped forward and said, “Director Ning, these flowers are from my President. He congratulates you on your grand opening.”
Ning Qing did not have time to open her mouth to speak before the journalists furiously crowded around her and asked, “Director Ning, the king protea flowers are the king of flowers, hence the name. Is Young Master Lu wis.h.i.+ng for you to bloom in riches and honour and achieve glory and splendour?”
“Director Ning, King protea flowers are commonly known as the Bodhi flowers. The Bodhi plant is in bloom the entire year. It means that it will be with you for life. Is Young Master Lu confessing his love for you publicly now?”…..
Ning Qing gave an elegant and gracious smile, and she said generously, “Since this flower has two names, why can’t Young Master Lu have the intention of both meanings?”
With her words, the entire crowd was abuzz.
Young Master Lu had sent flowers. Not only did she want the floriography of to bloom in riches and honour, she also wanted to showcase Young Master Lu’s everlasting confession of love. In front of so many camera lenses, in front of T city, she was that sincere and wild.
Everyone channelled their eyes on the girl who was sitting in the chairman’s seat on the stage. She was 21 when she started her own studio that only included the big shots. She was already starting to demonstrate her prowess.
