Chapter 332: After Having Ning Qing, Would You Be Still Interested In Other Women
Ning Qing straightened her beautiful back as she looked at Zhou Zhilei with a smile. “Miss Zhou, what do you mean by that?”
Zhou Zhilei wanted to speak more, and at this moment, Madam Lin supported the arm of senior Lin who was celebrating her birthday as they walked out.
Senior Lin had a head of silver hair. She was energetic as she excitedly examined her surroundings. “Daughter-in -aw, did you say that the entire cast of has arrived here? Where are they? I want to have a good look at them.”
Madam Lin looked at Ning Qing and said, “Mum, this person here is the director of . Ning Qing — Director Ning.”
Senior Lin looked at her and complimented her saying, “This little girl is so pretty. She looks like an angel who has fallen down from heaven.”
Ning Qing had a bright smile on her face as she said, “Senior Lin, thank you for your compliments.”
Madam Lin pursed her lips as she had an embarra.s.sed smile on her face while she said, “Director Ning, my mother watches your drama, , at home every day. She likes it very much, and she is a fan of yours.”
Ning Qing winked cheekily and said, “Senior Lin, it is all good as long as you like it. I also wish you to have a good life marked by longevity, and to be healthy forever.”
Senior Lin covered her mouth while she laughed for a long while. “This young lady has such a sweet mouth.”
Ning Qing looked at the general manager of the hotel as she said, “I understand that a huge banquet is happening. Since it is Senior Lin’s birthday, let us change our venue to another banquet hall then.” As she spoke, she looked at President Lin and said, “I am sorry to have interrupted you all, I hope that you would not mind. Please treat it as though we have partic.i.p.ated in the merry air of Senior Lin’s celebrations.”
President Lin did not expect Ning Qing to be so eloquent. He quickly smiled and said, “Director Ning, it is you who are gracious.”
Xiao Zhou observed what was going on and clapped her palms together. “Isn’t it all settled then? Our Ning Qing had yet to say anything, and someone was quick to comment already. Evil intentions are ever present no matter what the truth of a situation may be.”
These words were directed towards Zhou Zhilei.
Everyone glanced at Zhou Zhilei with a judgemental look.
Zhou Zhilei had a bad expression on her face. She has been waiting for Ning Qing to be under the weather after she was dumped, but she did not expect that after a short period of a month, Ning Qing had returned to the entertainment industry and was doing much better than ever before.
Many of the socialites attending the banquet were fans of Ning Qing, even Senior Lin had nothing but compliments for Ning Qing, and this felt like a tight slap to Zhou Zhilei’s face.
She was in a tough spot.
“Xiao Zhou, forget it, don’t say anything more.” Ning Qing stopped Xiao Zhou.
Zhou Zhilei rolled her eyes, and thought inside her heart, thank G.o.d you still know a thing or two.
In the next second, she saw Ning Qing’s enchanting eyes look at her with a faint satisfaction, and she continued to say, “Miss Zhou must have grievances against me. Let her do whatever she wants then.”
Zhou Zhilei looked at the cameras from the media outlets that were pointed in her direction. The journalists noticed that she was displeased as she noticed how others complimented Ning Qing’s graciousness. “Director Ning, all of us understand these misunderstandings, but there are some times that you should not be wronged. It is because of your own actions that you do not get what you want. Marriage is forever protected by law.”
They had directly insulted Zhou Zhilei wanting to lay her hands on Young Master Lu, who already has a wife.
Zhou Zhilei: “…” Ning Qing did not mean to put this matter behind her, she was actually stepping on her cruelly and making her feel even more embarra.s.sed!
Tang Xueli heard what was going on and curled his lips into a smile. He slowly said, “Mrs. Lu, you have been busy filming recently. You have side-lined Young Master Lu. I have not seen you together for such a long time now. Even though you are both present, I haven’t seen you interacting with one another. Could it actually be that…”
Tang Xueli hesitated in what he wanted to say, and he had already successfully created a wave of guesses that went around the room.
Ever since Ning Qing got pregnant, she faded out of the entertainment industry. She returned to film a drama one month ago, and she had, in fact, not appeared together with Lu Shaoming.
This was starkly different from what they would usually do, showing off how loving they were.
A journalist laughed and quickly asked, “Director Ning, it is true that we have not seen you together with Young Master Lu during this time. Young Master Lu is attending the banquet alone, and would not go to the set to visit you. Many have suspected a change in your relations.h.i.+p. Director Ning, could you respond to this question?”
The attention of everyone present on the scene was on Ning Qing. The journalists pa.s.sed all of their microphones over to her and waited for her answer.
Ning Qing did not speak, and she calmly welcomed Tang Xueli’s gaze on her. That man was looking at her with a desire to play, and the smile in his eyes was very apparent.
Ning Qing did not worry too much about it, and she looked at Lu Shaoming slowly.
From the moment she entered the banquet hall, she knew that he was present here. This man was forever the most eye catching person in the sea of people.
Ning Qing lifted her eyebrows and slowly curled the corners of her lips up. Her voice was soft and coy as she half-jokingly asked the man, “Young Master Lu, they all say that our relations.h.i.+p has changed. Do you think so?”
Lu Shaoming looked at the eyes of the small woman. He did not look at her in detail at the supermarket the previous time, and looking at her now, her youthful eyes were s.h.i.+ning more brightly. He suddenly thought of how people looked at her. Her eyes were key.
He had one of his hands inside his pockets. His dark, deep eyes had gentleness in them as he said, “That’s not the case.”
Ning Qing looked sideways to look at the media journalists and playfully said, “Young Master Lu has already answered your questions. All of you know, our family is always cohesive with what we say, his reply would be mine also. Furthermore…” Ning Qing was smiling brightly as she looked at Lu Shaoming once again. “Oi, Young Master Lu. After you had me, Ning Qing, would you still be interested in another woman?”
Everyone was amazed. This Ning Qing was amazing; she was domineering!
Lu Shaoming’s black irises were full of the reflection of the woman’s lithe figure as he replied, “I won’t.”
“Wow…” A group of young girls screamed and said, “Director Ning, both of you are so cruel. You are torturing us single people once again.”
“But…” At this moment, Zhou Zhilei could not help herself and said, “I heard that Director Ning has moved back to her parents’ home, and she is living separately from Young Master Lu.”
Living separately?
Everyone was taken aback.
Ning Qing’s eyes did not have any surprise as she looked at Zhou Zhilei. She had a lazy and mesmerizing smile as she said, “Miss Zhou, it is right that I have moved back to my parent’s place, but how did you know that Young Master Lu did not move there with me to stay for a couple of days? Living separately refers to not having interaction between the couple. How does Miss Zhou know that Young Master Lu did not bother me to give birth to a younger sister for my son? Miss Zhou is so concerned about us as a couple. Now, are you the one with a problem, or,” Ning Qing’s eyes scanned at Tang Xueli, “is it Mr. Tang’s fault?”
Ning Qing’s words were quite racy, and her last line especially. She was secretly insinuating that Tang Xueli did not satisfy Zhou Zhilei.
Everyone snorted in laughter, and they all looked at both of them with judgement in their eyes.
Xiao Zhou agreed and said, “That’s right, Miss Zhou, you have a boyfriend. Don’t be too hung up on the past. Look at your eyes. You are staring at another person’s husband so intently, where do you place Mr. Tang in your heart? Oh, maybe Mr. Tang does not even seem to care.”
Tang Xueli looked at the woman who was smiling brightly like a flower among the sea of people, and the colour in his eyes darkened.
Ning Qing welcomed Tang Xueli’s gaze and she laughed mysteriously, “Mr. Tang, you have to tend to the flower when it blooms. You cannot warm some women’s hearts up. Your contribution is only a tool in her eyes, but in our eyes, the knight of a princess is just a supporting character.”
Zhou Zhilei’s expression changed. She had given a call to Tang Xueli at the ground floor of the hospital in England. He agreed to be his girlfriend, but her condition was that he help her ruin Lu Shaoming. At that time, Tang Xueli, in a gentlemanly manner, agreed to whatever she said, and he was willing to be a knight of a princess.
Princess’s knight…
Ning Qing actually knew.
Tang Xueli’s gaze became cold, and he channelled his gaze at Ning Qing.
Ning Qing lifted her hand to lift the train of her skirt as she said, “Everyone here, we have delayed the press conference for too long. Let’s go now. This part can be considered to be a warm up for everyone.”
“Sure, Director Ning, let’s go then.” The journalists trailed Ning Qing as they went out of the banquet hall.
…
Until the woman’s figure disappeared before his eyes, Lu Shaoming withdrew his gaze and prepared to leave.
“Ay, Young Master Lu.” Tang Sitian looked at what had just transpired. She was extremely upset. It looked like he still had a good relations.h.i.+p with his wife.
Lu Shaoming looked at Tang Sitian and had a cold smile on his face while he said, “Why, didn’t you hear what my wife said just now? Compare yourself with my wife. How do you measure up to her?”
Although the man was still polite, there was ignorance inside his eyes.
“You.” Tang Sitian was furious.
Lu Shaoming took two steps forward, and he went beside Tang Xueli. He lowered his volume down, laughed, and said, “President Tang, I have to say that you have failed as both an older brother and as a man. Look at both your younger sister and Zhou Zhilei. They each like to plaster themselves against me. They will not leave no matter how hard I try.”
Tang Xueli’s hands inside his pockets were kneaded tightly into fists, and his eyes were full of evil.
Lu Shaoming went to walk to the door. He saw Zhou Zhilei and curled the corners of his lips into an arc. His deep dark eyes scanned Zhou Zhilei’s figure from head to toe.
Even though she knew that the man was insulting and looking down on her, this pure and introverted man had never used such a gaze to look at a woman’s figure, especially with such a gaze in such an opening setting, to look at her figure.
Zhou Zhilei’s face was crimson red.
Lu Shaoming walked out, and her eyes were fl.u.s.tered. She unintentionally crashed into Tang Xueli’s gaze and she froze. Tang Xueli was looking at her behaviour with evil in his eyes.
“Xueli.” She wanted to explain.
But at this moment, someone walked towards Tang Xueli, and Tang Xueli went to socialize.
She could only give up, and she resigned to the task of having to comfort him later.
“Second sister-in-law.” At this moment, Tang Sitian walked over.
Zhou Zhilei looked at her lonely figure and knew that she wanted to come to look for some solace, but Zhou Zhilei was not in the mood for it at the moment. She could only carelessly answer, “Sitian, it is fine. We will look for another chance.” As she spoke, she lowered her volume and ordered her, “Could you not tell your older brother that I was the one who told you to chase Young Master Lu?”
“Oh, I got it.” Tang Sitian nodded her head.
Zhou Zhilei was satisfied, this girl had always been innocent, and she was easy to fool.
At this moment, the tip of her nose felt itchy, as if a scent had shocked her senses. She had a frown on her face as she said, “Si Tian, what did you apply on your body? It smells so good?”
“Really?” Tang Sitian sniffed her own clothes and said, “I haven’t put anything on. Second Sister-in-law, maybe you smelled something else?”
Zhou Zhilei went to take a closer sniff, and it turned out that the scent had already disappeared.
She shook her head. She did not know what was going on lately. She always felt that there was a scent on Tang Sitian, but upon taking a closer whiff, the scent would disappear.
Zhou Zhilei looked at Tang Sitian’s small face that looked pure and sweet, and she did not think too much.
…
Lu Shaoming walked out of the banquet hall. He walked into the corridor, and the banquet hall next door was in the middle of the press conference. He looked through the French windows, and the hall was s.h.i.+ning brightly with its lights. The small woman on the high chair was chatting about some topic she had a bright smile with her eyebrows up in a curve.
Lu Shaoming felt faint. He did not know if it was because of the crystals on her body were too eye catching, or if it was because of her red lips and white teeth. She looked lively and attractive.
He placed one of his hands in his pocket, and leaned against the wall. He took out his phone and drafted a text message before he sent it out.
