Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Ning Qing had wanted to go quietly, but things didn’t go according to plan. When her little hand let go of the door handle, the door gave a slight squeak. The man in the study suddenly turned his head and looked at her.
His eyes were as bright and beautiful as obsidian, but they were also deep.
At this moment, it was too awkward for Ning Qing to leave, but it was also awkward to stay. She had been caught peeping.
“Haha.” She could only laugh and wave her soft white hands at him through the crack of the door. “Hi, what a coincidence.”
Lu Shaoming’s handsome face was gentle and his mouth curved up imperceptibly. He was amused by the girl.
He walked over with his long legs. He placed a big hand on the door handle. His handsome body blocked the door as he looked at her and asked, “Why are you not in bed? What are you doing here?”
Ning Qing already felt awkward enough, but now that she saw him blocking the door, the grin on her little face froze.
What exactly does he mean by this?
A big man like him blocked a girl like her as if she were a thief, and he was one meter away from her. Was he afraid she would break in?
When he liked her before, he wanted nothing more than to stick to her. Did his alienation meant that he was still sulking or that he had disliked her now?
Either way, Ning Qing felt unhappy!
“I’m looking at you!” He had ignored her entire night of gentleness. Everyone had a temper, and she also had her own stubborn arrogant tantrums.
Ning Qing had a long expression on her small face, and she looked at him indifferently.
Lu Shaoming listened and raised his sharp eyebrows as he said calmly, “Alright, you’ve already seen it now. Go back to sleep.” With that, he was about to close the door.
“Hey!” Ning Qing’s eyes burst into flames. One foot slipped through the door. She twisted her little body and squeezed in immediately. She was up against the wall.
Lu Shaoming knitted his sharp brows and looked at her with a sharp gaze. Her voice was a little heavy as he asked. “Ning Qing, what do you want to do?”
It was she who wanted to ask him what he wanted.
Ning Qing was really angry with him. With a do or die attitude, she said crisply, “I can’t sleep. You hurt me last night.”
Lu Shaoming closed the door. “Where does it hurt?
“I know you’re not feeling well, why don’t I call you a doctor. It’s time for you to take your medicine.”
Time seemed to stop, Ning Qing widened her eyes fiercely.
What. Did. He. Say?!
“Lu Shaoming, don’t go too far! I…” Ning Qing wanted to scold him, but she’d been picked up by hte collar of her pajamas, and as the door opened, she was hauled out like a tiny chick.
The door clicked shut.
Ning Qing was speechless, “…” Lu Shaoming! Today, you ignored my love. Tomorrow, I make sure it’ll be out of your reach!
…
The next morning, Ning Qing went to the set with two dark circles under her eyes. Last night she had scolded Lu Shaoming 800 times in her heart and tossed about until she fell asleep late at night.
Xiao Zhou looked at her listlessness and asked curiously, “Ning Qing, what’s wrong with you? Did you quarrel with Young Master Lu?”
Ning Qing pursed her mouth unhappily. “Yes.”
“God, Ning Qing, how dare you quarrel with Young Master Lu? Who was the one who made a mistake?” Xiao Zhou asked, shocked.
“It’s me. I’m to blame.”
“Ning Qing, you’re in the wrong then. Now that you know that you’re wrong, go and coax Young Master Lu.” Xiao Zhou said.
“No, he’s too hard to serve. It’s no use trying to coax him.”
“Ning Qing, what do you mean by this? Not coaxing a man of such high status as Young Master Lu, are you waiting for him to cast you aside? You have to understand how many women covet him! Besides, you’re already married. Do you want to give such a premium man whom you’ve slept with to another woman?” Xiao Zhou asked.
As soon as Ning Qing heard this, it seemed to make sense to her. If she didn’t go and coax her husband, was she just going to let others coax him?
Although he had gone too far with her last night, she was still very satisfied and liked her husband.
Besides, she hasn’t slept with this premium man yet!
Ning Qing felt that her blood was bubbling with energy now. She had a long way to go in pursuit of her husband. She should work harder.
…
So after Ning Qing had filmed an entire day’s scene, she asked the driver to take a detour to Guang Qing when she was going home. It was about 5 p.m.
She was going to take him home.
When she walked into Guang Qing’s lobby, the people at the front desk quickly greeted her. “Mrs. President, the president is not at the office. He has left for a business dinner party, did the president not tell you? All dinner parties need a girl companion, the president…”
The lady at the desk realized that she had made a mistake and quickly clammed up.
Ning Qing’s expression stiffened for a moment, but she soon recovered. She thanked her, left Guang Qing, and got in the car.
Looking out of the window, Ning Qing felt a little gloomy. What dinner party? What girl did he bring with him?
“Driver, turn around, I want to go to…” Ning Qing gave the driver the address she got from the front desk. She might as well go and see it herself instead of guessing about it here.
Once a misunderstanding arises, it must be solved immediately. She doesn’t want this to fester in her heart.
…
The problem arose when Ning Qing went to the banquet hall. There was a security guard at the door, checking for invitation cards. She had arrived uninvited and had no invitation card.
What should she do?
“Miss, please show me your invitation card.”
Ning Qing grinned sheepishly. She blinked her pair of innocent eyes as she begged, “Security Brother, I have an invitation card but I’m late, but my companion is inside. Security Brother, please accommodate me and let me in.”
The security guard looked very apologetic. “I’m sorry, Miss. I can’t let you in without an invitation card. It’s the rule. Ah! ”
Ning Qing ran in while the security guard was not paying attention.
The security guard was doing his job according to the rules. No matter how much she talked to him, her efforts would be fruitless. She might as well break in and find Lu Shaoming.
Upon entering the hall, Ning Qing spotted Lu Shaoming.
His handsome figure had always been the focus of attention. It was too easy to find him.
He was standing at the window of the lobby, talking to several men. The brilliant sunset outside the window covered him with dreamlike gold. His sculpted beauty and his noble temperament caused many women around him to watch him secretly and look admiringly at him.
He also stood beside a girl in a pink dress. She was about 20 years old, young and beautiful.
The two of them stood together and matched each other very well. They were like a noble couple made for each other.
Ning Qing’s first thought was that the girl was the one who had poured wine for him last night…Yi Shuang.
Her footsteps stalled completely.
On her way here, she had never thought that he would really bring a girl companion with him.
She had thought that he was just being moody. Yesterday she had coaxed him and he had pranked her. Actually, that was ok, she was wrong so he could ignore her.
But how could he bring other women to a dinner party?
Just then the security guard came after her and said, “Hey, Miss, you can’t be here!”
Ning Qing felt her left shoulder grow cold as her rosy-red knitted cardigan was torn apart by the security guard. Her fair and delicate skin was exposed.
The ruckus here quickly attracted everyone’s attention, and everyone looked towards her, one after another.
“Wow…” some unknown person gasped uncontrollably. All kinds of gazes from men fell on her shoulder. “Hey, isn’t that Ning Qing? It’s the new generation goddess indeed. Look at her fine, smooth skin; it’s like milk. But how did she get here and look so sorry?”
Ning Qing stretched out her hand to pull her little cardigan and tried to cover her little shoulder, but the security guard was pulling on it too tightly and she couldn’t move it.
She gazed across the hall, where there were some familiar faces. In fact, it was not difficult for her to get away, she could just pretend to be someone’s partner.
But she did not open her mouth, her usual eight-sided exquisite features were somewhat delighted at this moment because Lu Shaoming was looking at her from a distance.
She had never seen him look so cold. His dark narrow eyes were as cold and fierce as the night’s frost. He was looking at her so fixedly.
And that Yi Shuang was looking at her with pity.
Hah, ridiculous.
At this time, “Elder sister…” A familiar voice sounded and Ning Yao came over.
Ning Qing laughed even louder in her heart. What a good day it was today. All kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods have gathered together.
Ning Yao came forward and took Ning Qing’s hand intimately and scolded the security guard, “This is my sister. We came here together. Hurry up and let go of my sister!”
The security guard looked at Lu Shaoming, caught in a dilemma.
Lu Shaoming stood tall and handsome, his face calm and cold. His narrow eyes were gloomy and fierce as he glared at the security guard’s hand that touched Ning Qing.
A chill ran down the security guard’s back from Lu Shaoming’s gaze. He quickly loosened his grip on Ning Qing and turned away.
Ning Qing calmly tidied up her little cardigan and drew an elegant smile from her lips. She had embarrassed herself in front of Lu Shaoming, and had been saved by Ning Yao. Rarely in the past three years had she had such an embarrassing moment.
“Sister, why are you here today? Did you receive the invitation? Did you come by yourself? All the people attending the dinner are rich nobles…”
The implication of Ning Yao’s words was that Ning Qing was not a rich noble and was not eligible to receive an invitation.
The gazes that fell on Ning Qing in the hall were slightly contemptuous. Ning Qing looked at Ning Yao with a smile and said, “Yes, our invitation letter for the Ning family was taken away by you three years ago. Of course, only you had been invited to this dinner party.”
Ning Yao’s face changed greatly. Ning Qing had quietly reminded everyone of her disgraceful past.
Now everyone’s unkind gazes on Ning Qing quickly shifted to Ning Yao.
At this time, the organizer of the dinner party came out to smooth things out to ensure that everyone could have a pleasant meal, so everyone’s gazes dissipated.
Ning Yao stood in front of Ning Qing and adjusted her mood. Her expression was proud and pleased. “Sister, yesterday my family and the Xu family agreed on the wedding date. Junxi and I will soon be married. You have to come to our wedding of the century, sister.”
