Chapter 247: Not Angry Anymore? Not Ignoring Me Anymore?
For a moment, the charity hall was silent, and everyone looked at Ning Qing.
Ning Qing was the subject of everyone’s attention, they were gazes full of… Pity, Compa.s.sion.
She was the wife. She was pregnant and had just won the hearts of the people. She had beaten her mother-in-law, but what was this about? Lu Shaoming and Zhou Zhilei were together.
Song Yajing and Kong Lan looked at Ning Qing contemptuously and provocatively. Yin Shuiling couldn’t help but blurt out, “What the f*ck, Ning Qing. What kind of man have you found?”
Ning Qing looked at the man who was so handsome she couldn’t look away. One second, two seconds. Then turned around calmly.
Without a word, she turned and left.
“Director Ning, don’t you want to say anything?” a reporter asked.
Ning Qing’s footsteps did not stop. She gracefully curved her lips. “No. If you want to ask, you should ask Young Master Lu. Everything depends on what he says. I don’t have any opinions.”
After she had finished her sentence, the reporters were silent. What she meant by this was… Even if Young Master Lu and Zhou Zhilei got together, she would have nothing to say?
Everyone looked at the girl’s back. Her bright yellow dress made her look stark and beautiful. She did not express too much emotion. Even in this scene, her demeanor was still chic and domineering.
A touch of heartache could be felt by everyone.
Song Yajing’s eyes flashed a triumphant satisfaction. It was only a few seconds later, the girl had walked out the door and onto the lawn outside.
The lawn was decorated with lights. Crystal lights were hung everywhere, and a fountain garden was in the middle. The water sprayed in the fountain.
Outside, T-city’s n.o.bles were still getting out of their cars and walking towards the hall. Wherever the girl appears, she attracts a lot of attention. Kong Lan shot a look at one of the n.o.bles and that n.o.ble nodded.
Ning Qing walked out, brus.h.i.+ng past several people. She was absent-minded. Someone knocked her on the shoulder. Her steps were unstable. She stumbled a couple of steps and was about to fall into the fountain.
“Ning Qing…”
Someone shouted.
Ning Qing covered her abdomen with her little hand in that second. The water in the fountain was shallow and not dangerous, but she was afraid that her baby would feel cold. Her only thought was to protect her baby.
But she did not fall into the water, because her slender arm was clasped by a big palm. As soon as the man grabbed her, she fell into the broad warm arms of the man.
Ning Qing looked up, stunned; it was Lu Shaoming.
The man didn’t look down at her. His jaw was tight as he held her in one arm. Another big hand quickly grabbed the n.o.ble who had deliberately b.u.mped into Ning Qing. He turned his big hand around and pinned the n.o.ble’s arm behind him. He heard a click as the n.o.ble’s bone dislocated, and then Baam! followed by a bitter scream. The n.o.ble had been kicked into the fountain by Lu Shaoming.
Because they were standing at the edge of the pool, water splashed up when the n.o.ble fell into the fountain. The man moved sideways to block her and raised another hand to cover her ears, holding her in his arms.
At this time, all the people in the hall had gathered at the door and covered their mouths as they said, “Wow, Young Master Lu is indeed so handsome.”
The man was wearing a light blue s.h.i.+rt and grey trousers. The girl looked very small in his arms. The back of his s.h.i.+rt and trousers were splashed with water, which added an unconstrained touch to his masculine figure.
When everything was quiet, Lu Shaoming held up the girl’s little face. He looked her up and down and asked nervously, “Ning Qing, are you alright? Were you splashed or startled?”
Ning Qing looked down and moved her little head. She wanted to rid herself of his big hand.
“Ning Qing, what’s wrong?” Her resistance made him breathe heavily.
By this time, the people who were walking with the n.o.ble were shocked. They all bent their heads and waist with trepidation. “Young Master Lu, we’re sorry…”
Lu Shaoming was a man who seldom got angry. He always bore a n.o.ble and elegant stance in front of the world. But now he was breathing heavily, and his eagle-like eyes swept across the men. His voice was fierce as he said, “Is your apology helpful? What if my wife fell down and the child got hurt? You can’t walk, can you? Why do you need your legs then?”
The men’s legs were soft as they cried out, “Young Master Lu, I’m really sorry, but we don’t know how he b.u.mped into Mrs. Lu…”
One of the smarter ones came to Ning Qing and stooped repeatedly. “Mrs. Lu, I’m sorry, we really didn’t mean to. I hope Mrs. Lu can be gracious and can say a few words of courtesy to Young Master Lu for us.”
“Yes, Mrs. Lu, please forgive us.” All of them stood in front of Ning Qing, heads and waist bent. They were almost kneeling.
She shouldn’t blame the innocent people. These people were implicated in something that they had no part in. Ning Qing’s heart couldn’t bear to punish them, and she was unwilling to have Lu Shaoming harm them on her behalf.
But she didn’t want to talk to the man, so she put one hand over her lower abdomen and hissed.
“Ning Qing!” Lu Shaoming’s pupils shrank. His big palms quickly covered her little hands, and his brows knitted together tightly. “Where does it hurt, tell me quickly…”
Ning Qing pouted her pink lips but still did not raise her eyes. “It’s very noisy, let them all disperse.”
Lu Shaoming watched her pout, and his heart almost melted. He glanced sideways at the men, and his tone was stiff as he said, “Get lost!”
“Yes, thank you Young Master Lu and Mrs. Lu.” The men ran for their lives.
At this time, a bodyguard pulled up the n.o.ble from the fountain. The n.o.ble’s expression was like dead ash. Lu Shaoming’s thin and cool lip curved into a cold arc. “I don’t want to see him again in T city.”
“Yes, President.” The bodyguards dragged the n.o.ble away.
Everyone was gawking at them. They hadn’t expected this situation to be dealt with this way. The dignitaries of T City were looking at the girl carefully guarded by Lu Shaoming. The men in the business industry were most afraid of being controlled by women. But just a word from the girl, and the man let it all go.
Maybe the girl didn’t know that the man had declared to the world that he loved her so much just now.
People could not help but peep at Zhou Zhilei and the two n.o.ble ladies. Their expressions were identical, stiff and gloomy. Zhou Zhilei, who was almost mad with jealousy, looked especially glum.
One of the bodyguards handed them a black coat. Lu Shaoming grabbed it and draped it over her shoulder. Ning Qing raised her hand to block it. No.
Lu Shaoming was filled with so much heartache for her. He coaxed her softly, “Ning Qing don’t do this, don’t fight with me. You can punish me any way you want. It’s cold. You and the baby shouldn’t be cold.”
Ning Qing twisted the dress in front of her lower abdomen with a small hand. He still knew about the baby?
Her eyes were red, and the tears come down from the corners of her eyes.
Her shoulder felt warm. The black coat had been draped over her body. Her cool little face was held in his palm again, and the man’s coa.r.s.e finger gently wiped her tears away. “Ning Qing, why are you crying? Did my mother bully you again just now?”
People looked at Song Yajing, who was just mentioned, and Song Yajing froze.
“Didn’t I already say that you can just ignore her? What Lu family Gate? The Lu family won’t even have a gate without me. Ning Qing, we shall not worry about it, alright? I, Lu Shaoming, am the n.o.ble family.”
The crowd gasped.
Ignore Song Yajing?
The Lu family has no gate without him?
He, Lu Shaming, is the n.o.ble family?!
These three sentences were really too rampant, too grandiose, too domineering.
Song Yajing had nothing to say. She was so furious that she could vomit blood.
“And that Zhou Zhilei… I went to find you after I got out of the airport, but I was told that you were here, so I came here immediately, but I met her at the door. She stuck to me like a piece of gum, so there was a scene in the hall. Okay, I know you’re angry. I won’t let her touch me in the future. Never, alright?”
The crowd were speechless.
Was it really appropriate to use a piece of gum to describe the granddaughter of the king of the world’s greatest winery?
Zhou Zhilei was appalled. Her blood boiled with fury.
After his explanation, Ning Qing was moved. Actually, she hadn’t doubted him, but she was still a little aggrieved. He already knew that she was his wife, but that night, he had disappeared from Tea Pavilion Villa after being so eccentric towards her for a whole week. She had missed him so much.
The baby in her belly missed him too.
Although the baby still does not understand, uh… She has decided that her baby would miss him too.
But he was sticking to Zhou Zhilei as soon as he appeared. She had nothing to do with the Korean Oppa before, but he was so jealous.
He wasn’t thinking about her at all.
Ning Qing threw a tender little punch at him, but every part on the man was so hard. It hurt only her little hand. She pushed him tearfully and said, “Let me go, you stay away from me. The person who bullied me is you! You smell of other women’s perfume. It smells terrible. I’m about to throw up.”
Seeing her emotionally agitated and saying that she wanted to throw up, Lu Shaoming frowned, let go of her, raised his hands in surrender, and repeatedly coaxed, “Okay, I’ll let go. Don’t be agitated. Be careful of the baby…”
With that, Lu Shaoming sniffed the right arm that Zhou Zhilei had been hanging onto, and there was indeed a faint fragrance of perfume on his s.h.i.+rt. Zhou Zhilei was used to wearing perfume.
“Ning Qing, let’s go home, and then I’ll take a shower and change my clothes. You endure it for a while.” He reached for her shoulder.
Ning Qing stepped back and refused to let him touch her.
Lu Shaoming had no more ideas. He looked at the sparkling fountain. “Ning Qing, since you dislike me so much, shall I jump down and wash the smell off?”
Ning Qing did not hear clearly. What?
Lu Shaoming did not hesitate. He raised his foot and stepped on the steps of the fountain. He was about to jump inside.
The crowd was flabbergasted. Young Master Lu, are you for real? You’re going to jump just like that?
“Hey, Lu Shaoming!” Ning Qing responded, quickly tugged at the man’s sleeve, and stared at him with her delicate puffed cheeks. “What are you doing?”
Lu Shaoming raised his sharp brows, he knew that she could not bear him.
He reached out and clasped her little hand, touched her little face with another big hand, and said happily, “Ning Qing, not ignoring me anymore? Not angry anymore?”
Ning Qing shook off his hand, and another layer of tender grievance flooded her autumn irises. She asked the question that had been suppressed in her heart, “Lu Shaoming, are you so kind to me now because of the child in my stomach? I know you’re unhappy. You can’t accept it, because you didn’t plan to marry me at all, but now that I’m your wife, you’re avoiding the problem.”
Lu Shaoming didn’t know if he should laugh or cry. When had he given her such a wildly inaccurate notion?
He reached into his pocket with his right hand, held the hard box in his palm and took it out.
