Zhou Zhilei heard his words and turned around slowly. Lu Shaoming was here.
The man was dressed in a black shirt and trousers. He had just come out of the shower, and his wet short hair brought along an entire cloud of fog, making his handsome face that was defined like a sculpture even more life like.
His deep black eyes stared at her directly. In his eyes, there was a pent up darkness that overwhelmed her. The man actually did not have any expression on his face, but Zhou Zhilei felt that her scalp was numb, and her breathing was rushed.
This was a man who was strong and well versed, who created vast changes in the corporate world. He was not angry, but he could show his domination.
“Shao…Older Brother Shao…” Zhou Zhilei was afraid, and called out to him with trembling lips.
Lu Shaoming used great strength to push her away, and Zhou Zhilei lost her footing. Her entire being retreated a few steps back, directly crashing into the wall.
“Sii.” Zhou Zhilei immediately teared up in pain.
Ning Qing felt satisfied. She walked to Lu Shaoming’s side and held his arm. She had a sweet smile on her face as she said, ” Shaoming, you are here!”
Lu Shaoming channelled his gaze down to glance at the girl, his thin maroon lips moved and he said, “Didn’t you go take a soak? How come you are here getting bullied by someone?”
Ning Qing: “…”
Zhou Zhilei felt that her hand that was locked by his arm was in such pain that she felt numb. Her back that had hit the wall was also in pain. He had used a lot of strength just now. He was actually a gentleman. Not using force on women was one of the most basic demonstrations of being a man, but he had used force on her.
Zhou Zhilei’s entire heart sank, but she still tried to explain herself. “Older Brother Shaoming, you have mistaken me. I didn’t…”
Lu Shaoming’s sharp, hawk-like eyes scanned her, and he said, “Zhou Zhilei, you are a fool, but don’t think that everyone is a fool like you. You didn’t what? What you did in the past, and what you are doing now, what you want to do, you thought I did not know about it all?”
Zhou Zhilei’s face was pale. This man was so cold and heartless towards her.
She tightened her fist, and her eyes were full of hatred, “Lu Shaoming, you are really so heartless. I’ve loved you so much, and I’ve waited for you for 26 whole years…”
“What does you waiting for me for 26 years got to do with me? The women who love Lu Shaoming are all over the streets. Should I have to take responsibility for all of them if they do not get married? Zhou Zhilei, I am not interested in a woman like you. I didn’t ask you to disappear in front of my eyes, although I do not like you, tolerating you is already the greatest benevolence that I have given you and the Zhou family. If you still do not know about how to write the word shame, then get lost.”
Get lost?
He asked her to get lost?
Zhou Zhilei took a deep breath of air. She turned her head to look at Zhou Dayuan. “Older Brother, what is with that attitude of yours? Won’t you give me some help?”
Jian Han was actually helping Zhou Dayuan press on the wound, and when she heard Zhou Zhilei’s question, it was only then that she realized that she was being inappropriate right now. She was always like that. Every time he got into trouble, she saw him and only had him in her heart.
Now she was still on her tiptoes pressing against his body, and his hand that was originally on her slim waist was long gone. She withdrew her hand like a bolt of lightning and took two steps back.
Zhou Dayuan glanced at Jian Han and then looked towards Zhou Zhilei. “Zhilei, right is right, and wrong is wrong. I would not help you do wrong.”
Zhou Zhilei had a mocking laugh and she said, “Young Master Lu, Ning Qing, you really believe that my older brother is helping you all with all of his heart, and he is not just feigning civility? My older brother and I are one family after all.”
Lu Shaoming curled his thin lips into a smile, and his low voice rang out. “I have been good friends with your older brother for numerous years. I know what kind of person he is better than you do.”
Ning Qing nodded her head and smiled as she said, “That’s right. I believe in Older Brother Dayuan. I can believe in his character. Miss Zhou, it is actually you; you are trying to drive a wedge between yourself and your brother. Are you really part of one family then?”
Zhou Zhilei was furious, and she broke out into laughter. “Great, it seems like I am the third wheel. Young Master Lu, I have totally lost my interest in you today; I will leave!”
She took her bag and straightened her waist to walk forward.
When she passed by his side, one of Lu Shaoming’s hands was in his pocket, and both of his eyes were looking in front of him. He curled his lips elegantly and softly said, “Can you scale back on what you are doing? Also, never let me catch you with your tricks again.”
Zhou Zhilei bit down on her lower lip. It was great, she accepted his threat and she walked out.
…
Zhou Zhilei walked out of the hospital. She took out her phone and made a call. “Hello, I will accept you courting me. I will agree to be your girlfriend, but I have one condition…”
….
After seeing Zhou Zhilei leave, Ning Qing wanted to go forward to care for Zhou Dayuan’s injury. “Older Brother Dayuan, you…”
But her small shoulder was held tightly by the man next to her. Lu Shaoming directly turned around and brought her back into the hospital ward. He scanned Zhou Dayuan for a moment and left with one line. “Manage your injury yourself.”
“Ay, Older Brother Dayuan…” Ning Qing tried to turn her small head back, wanting to speak.
But the man held onto the back of her head and lowered his gaze. He looked upset while he frowned and said, “Still think that you have not gotten into enough trouble? Go back to the room!”
Ning Qing: “…” She accepted his bad attitude.
…
The two of them left, and only Jian Han and Zhou Dayuan were left in the corridor. The two of them did not speak, and the atmosphere was extremely quiet until it became suffocating.
Jian Han held onto her bag, and she used another hand to tuck the hair by her cheek behind her ear. She said, “Just now…”
“Don’t misunderstand, my younger sister wants to harm you. Naturally, I would have to protect you. Furthermore, it’s not a serious injury.”
“Okay,” Jian Han replied as she lowered her gaze.
The phone in her bag rang and she took it out to scan the number. “Doctor Zhou, I still need to thank you for what happened just now. I have to go,.” she said to Zhou Dayuan,
Zhou Zhilei lifted her heels and left.
Zhou Dayuan silently stood in the same spot. The corridor of the hospital was very quiet, and the woman was walking as she picked up the phone. Her voice was soft and gentle. “Hello, Tang Fan, you must have waited for a long time… Umm, I am going downstairs now….”
Zhou Dayuan laughed lightly and took large strides back to his own office.
…
Ning Qing was held by Lu Shaoming as they returned back to the hospital ward. They walked into the ward, and the man let go of her small hand, his handsome figure went to the side of the bed, and he got onto the bed.
There was a business notebook that had probably been sent by the bodyguard. He straightened his body and placed the thin, black book on his long legs. Two large, well defined hands were speedily flying across the keypad with ease, and he was settling business matters.
Looking at him like this, it seemed that it had been going on for some time. He probably had waited around and hadn’t seen her, so he came out to search for her.
Ning Qing looked at half of his handsome, mature face. Her small face was a little red. She took small steps to the side of the bed and uncovered the duvet to sleep underneath.
Her small round body rolled and turned sideways, her two small hands slowly tugged onto the shirt around his waist, and she hid her small face while she softly said, “Shaoming, does Older Brother Dayuan have bad relations with his family? I saw that Zhou Zhilei was also very arrogant and rude in front of Older Brother Dayuan. She was acting like she was the boss. Don’t wealthy families favour boys over girls? How come Kong Lan treats Zhou Zhilei like she’s so precious, and why has she allowed her to inherit the winery business? But Kong Lan does not really bother about Older Brother Dayuan. Could it be that Jian Han had come between them in the past?”
The man’s fingers that were hitting the keyboard did not stop, and he said, “You are interested in knowing?”
“Umm…” Ning Qing nodded her head and continued, “Yeah.”
Pa! Lu Shaoming closed the notebook in one motion.
Ning Qing did not know what was wrong, and she lifted her youthful eyes to look at him. “Shaoming, you are done with your work?”
The man’s handsome figure pressed against her. He used one elbow to support himself on the bed. “Mrs. Lu, do you still know how to care about me?”
What was he saying?
Ning Qing looked at his handsome face that was right in front of her. She secretly swallowed her saliva. Was he angry? How did she offend him now?
The girl’s pure eyes were absolutely innocent. Older Brother Dayuan, Older Brother Dayuan… Did she not realize that her saying “Older Brother Dayuan” was piercing to the ear?
Lu Shaoming bent down and pecked her red lips. “You are a pregnant woman. Take care of yourself, and care less about the matters involving others.”
“I’m not worried about others; I am only asking…” Ning Qing said softly.
“You still dare to talk back?” The man lifted himself up slightly, and he looked at her with his deep and black eyes.
Ning Qing did not dare speak.
“Not happy?”
The girl’s pink lips were still half pouting, and she was still silently angry.
Ning Qing did not speak. His temper was out of the blue, and she had not done anything wrong.
Lu Shaoming laughed lowly and used one large hand to touch her small face. He kissed her lips gently, then made his way inside to tangle himself with her.
Ning Qing was immediately soft. She closed her eyes and waited for him to kiss her even more deeply.
But the man stopped kissing and looked at her with a smile on his face. “You are happy now?”
Ning Qing knew that she was weak. She could not control her own mind, just like she was under his gentle spell. She nodded continuously and she was willing to accept it…
It was only then that Lu Shaoming was satisfied. His large hand came onto her belly and pushed her nightgown up.
“Shaoming!” She was flustered as she used two small hands to cover her own belly, not willing to show him where she had stretch marks. It was ugly.
But in the next moment, something gentle came over her. The man slid down and lowered himself, bit by bit; he was delicately kissing her belly.
“Are you called Little Young Master Lu? You have actually grown so much. Daddy was gone for so long. Did you miss Daddy?
“Daddy missed you two a lot. I missed your mother especially. I pity your mother. Did you know in this 9 and a half months, she went through a lot of hardships, and she was wronged a lot? It is explained in one sentence; it was all of daddy’s fault.
“Daddy has to thank Mummy. I need to thank her for protecting you and this family when Daddy was not around. Daddy loves Mummy.”
The man’s voice was soft and gentle, and it rang back in Ning Qing’s ears like magic. Her heart was like a lake with a feather that glided by softly, creating numerous ripples.
He did not speak much, but to her, it was enough.
These 9 and a half months were all worth it, with him saying that he loved her.
The tears at the tip of her eyes fell out again. She curled up her lips into a smile, and this time, they were tears of bliss.
The small hand that was blocking her belly was held gently by him. His fingers weaved through, and he interlocked 10 fingers together with her. He kissed her stretch marks and said, “Little Young Master Lu, Daddy wants to tell Mummy that Mummy is the most beautiful woman in the world. She has you inside her stomach. Daddy’s blood flows through you. Daddy’s little Wifey, she will only be 21 when she gives a descendant to pass down Daddy’s lineage. She has been so brave and so worthy of admiration.”
Ning Qing closed her eyes and sighed, satisfied. She had never felt so blissful before in her life. He was hugging her, and she was pregnant with his Little Young Master Lu in her belly.
A family of 3 — a blissful family.
Her small hand searched for his handsome face. She felt his defined features bit by bit, and she grazed his tall nose with hers. “You are such a sweet talker.”
