Lu Shaoming slowly started to smile. “It’s you?”
Tang Xueli lifted his eyebrows up and said, “It’s me. Young Master Lu, so… Do you want to trade with me?”
“Oh.” Lu Shaoming was a little interested now. “Let me hear; what do you have.”
“There is the cure to undo the love spell in my hands. I will hand the cure over to you. You would hand your wife over to me and allow me to enjoy her for a night.”
“Pftt.” Lu Shaoming lowered his body and bent beside Tang Xueli’s ear to say, “Zhou Zhilei is obsessed with me. You are merely a tool of hers. Aren’t you afraid that after you give me the cure and I recover from this love spell, that you would no longer have any value? Wouldn’t Zhou Zhilei just kick you aside?”
Although Tang Xueli was smiling, his smile was cold and those words made his entire body contract inhumanly. “I never had the word ‘afraid’ in my dictionary. I love to play a challenging game. Zhou Zhilei is unable to make a decision on whether to give you the cure to the love spell. As for me, the decision would be solely contingent on my happiness.”
“Okay.” Lu Shaoming hummed and said, “As expected, you are actually perverted in your heart. Should I send you down to the underworld to play?”
“Hah, Young Master Lu is actually trying to scare me? You would not kill me. If I die, you would forever be without a cure, and Young Master Lu probably does not bear to die just yet. After you die, your premium wife… I don’t know how many men would be lusting after her.”
Lu Shaoming did not have much of an expression on his face. He lifted his eyebrows up and had a gentle smile on his face. “There are swarms of men lusting after her, but those that want to lay their hands on her, even if I die, would have to wait for the next life to do so.”
“Young Master Lu really lives up to my expectations. You have a dominant air about you!” Tang Xueli laughed evilly.
At this moment, the door of the changing room opened up, and the salesperson took a deep breath. “Wow, Miss, you are just too beautiful in this outfit! It looks as if it has been tailor made for you, and it is only you who could perfectly exhibit this piece.”
Lu Shaoming turned back to have a look.
Ning Qing was dressed in a black gown, and the deep V =in the front let her collarbones occasionally peek out. The gown was tight at the waist, and her soft, 53 centimeter waist was extremely slim without a single ounce of extra fat. Her bottom was perky and lifted, and she had a perfect S figure of a woman. The bottom of her skirt reached the floor, and it flowed with exquisite folds. She had a pair of white high-heeled shoes on her feet, and every step she took emanated the elegance and beauty of a proper lady.
After she gave birth, her skin was still extremely moist and supple, and the black gown that she was wearing accentuated her tiny, exquisite face. Her sparkling bright eyes, and her pink cherry like lips… Her entire body was mesmerizing and very beautiful.=
“Ning Qing, you are really so beautiful.” Xiao Zhou also forgot about Lu Shaoming, and could not help but clasp her palms together with her eyes full of love as she said, “Ever since you got pregnant, I have not seen you wearing clothes like this. You really live up to the title of the ‘goddess forever in our hearts.’ Quick, come and take a look in the mirror.”
Tang Xueli scanned Ning Qing’s figure with lustful eyes, and he was immediately taken aback. He’s had many women. He’s had ones who were beautiful and ones whom he fell for, and he would take all of them as his own.
In his eyes, women were all pieces of art. They were worthy of men analysing and carefully appreciating them, but out of all of them, Ning Qing was by no doubt the best piece of work Heaven had ever made.
He really had not met a more exquisite woman than her.
Mrs. Lu. He had researched this woman for a long time. She was the newly crowned director in the entertainment industry. She could ride with the Young Master Lu, the top corporate icon in the country, and she was able to win the love of the entire Lu family. Without regard for Zhou Zhilei, he wanted to come and take a look at this legendary woman.
She also lived up to his expectations. She had argued with Zhou Zhilei, and that line, “just you wait,” was full of vigour and life. She was way more intelligent and lively compared to those art pieces. Hmm. She really was his type.
Lu Shaoming had good fortune; he had met with such a woman.
Tang Xueli’s eyes were filled with desire.
He planned to observe Ning Qing in close detail, but suddenly, a dark blue figure stumbled into his line of vision. It turned out to be Lu Shaoming. He took a step forward and silently blocked Tang Xueli.
Tang Xueli rolled his eyes. Such a petty man; I am merely taking one look at her.
Ning Qing walked in front of the mirror, and at this moment, the sales person took in another breath and said in shock, “Miss, I have sold clothes for eight years. I rarely see a person with your figure. You are a natural mannequin, and your exposed back is way too beautiful.”
Her slim, exposed back immediately entered Lu Shaoming’s vision. This gown exposed her back. Although it was not a deep plunge, it had largely exposed half of her back, and her waist was straight and pretty. Her two shoulder blades were slightly spread out, and she was stunning beyond words, making others forget to breathe.
The expression in Lu Shaoming’s eyes darkened, and he swallowed his saliva.
The salesperson tidied the material behind Ning Qing’s back for her. She smiled and said, “Miss, I have seen many other female celebrities that have been working hard on their backbones. They put in all this effort to wear back revealing gowns at banquets or awards ceremonies. Miss, your backbones are very pretty.”
Xiao Zhou was proud as she said, “That’s a must. Our Ning Qing has it naturally.”
Ning Qing looked at the mirror to have a glance at her skirt. She was not attached to it, and she only knew that there was a hot gaze on her body. When she looked in the mirror, in her peripheral vision, she saw Lu Shaoming standing behind her. He had both hands in his pockets, and he was completely focused on her.
She brought her small hand up to tuck a few strands of hair by her cheek behind her ear. She was still not used to it, and her small face turned red.
Tang Xueli heard the sales person praise Ning Qing, and he took two steps to the side. He wanted to have a look at Ning Qing.
But it was as if Lu Shaoming had eyes on the back of his head. As he took a step to the side, that man briskly stood directly behind Ning Qing.
The girl’s soft, gentle frame was instantly concealed by the man.
Tang Xueli: “…”
As Ning Qing looked down, she noticed a familiar, crisp, clear scent that barged into her nostrils. It was a scent that she was mesmerized with, and as her body froze, she knew that the man had arrived.
Her heart felt both sour and sweet at the same time.
Didn’t he not want to be together with her? What was he doing here, then?
But, he was willing to come, and it was after all…good.
As Ning Qing’s heart was beating quickly, an upset voice that rang out beside her ears. “Go to the changing room and change out of this outfit.”
1It was a domineering tone that could not bear to hear any rejection.
Ning Qing felt her heart sink. That momentary sweetness disappeared completely, and the small hand that was still beside her ear drooped down slowly. She lifted her gaze, looked towards the man in the mirror, and said with a laugh, “I don’t even have the power to purchase a piece of clothing anymore?”
Lu Shaoming looked at her bright, sparkling, youthful eyes. He lifted his eyebrows and lowered his volume while he bent down by her ear to say, “Don’t forget that you are already someone’s wife; what are you dressed so cheaply for?”
What did he say?
He could actually let such base, vulgar words out of his mouth?
Ning Qing’s small face immediately went hot. It was burning hot. The small hand that she had by her side was tightly balled into a fist, and she was glaring at him firmly.
She did not know how to reply, and she had never cursed once in her life.
She never expected him to use such a word to describe her.
Ning Qing’s eyes turned red.
The girl stared at him with her eyes swollen and red, just like a small beast who had been mistreated. Lu Shaoming pursed his chapped lips before taking a step forward. He softened his tone to say, “Don’t cry anymore. You have attained your goals. You can go to change your clothes now.”
As he spoke, he lightly brushed the small hand that she placed by her side.
Ning Qing’s small face was crimson red, and she was taken aback and flustered, then she felt shy. Tears were welling up in her youthful eyes, and she did not know where to direct her gaze.
How could he?
Was he this shameless?
The man was still speaking, and he ordered Xiao Zhou, “Bring her to the changing room to change her clothes.”
“Yes, Young Master Lu.” Xiao Zhou winked her eyes playfully, and she went forward to cup Ning Qing’s shoulder and brought her into the changing room.
Ning Qing knew that she was foolish. He was so shameless, but…she was unable to reject him. Xiao Zhou brought her away, and she didn’t know how to put up a fight.
She only dared to look at her toes before subtly hiding the small hand that he had touched. Her fair teeth bit down on her pink bottom lip before she finally broke out into a smile.
…
Ning Qing went into the changing room, and Zhou Zhilei had a dark expression on her face. She walked in front of Tang Xueli and said, “Xueli, let us go then.”
If she stayed here for a second more, she felt that she would soon suffocate.
That man did not look at her at all. It could not be said that he despised her, but he merely ignored her presence. He had chosen to ignore her completely.
Just now, she had a good look at him. He had both of his hands in his pockets, and his pants lightly brushed Ning Qing’s small hand, as for the part he used to nudge her… She would not think of it. He was shameless.
Only this kind of highly elegant man could pull it off. As he did this sort of thing, he had an attractiveness of a rogue man. Even though it was in a public area, it would not be blatant enough to disgust others; they’d feel their faces go red instead.
Any woman would have lamented that he wasn’t acting so shameless towards them instead?
Tang Xueli nodded her head, looked at Lu Shaoming, and said, “Young Master Lu, we are out of here. We will meet again if fate decides it.”
“President Tang, be safe,” Lu Shaoming said politely.
Before Tang Xueli left, he glanced at the changing room once again and placed his hands on Zhou Zhilei’s shoulders as they departed.
…
Leng Zhiyuan stood before the glass doors as she looked at Tang Xueli’s back profile until he completely disappeared from her sight. She turned her head and looked at the man. “Young Master Lu, we can leave now.”
Lu Shaoming looked at the changing room door and said, “Sure, let us go then.”
The two of them departed.
…
The four of them had left when Ning Qing came out of the changing room, and she looked through the glass door to look around her surroundings. He had truly left.
As she was in a trance, Xiao Zhou asked, “Ning Qing, do you want to buy this dress?”
“Yeah.” Ning Qing nodded her head and said, “Let’s buy it.”
…
Ning Qing and Xiao Zhou shopped around the mall for a while more, and Ning Qing said, “Xiao Zhou, I have to go to the washroom for a bit.”
“Sure, I will wait for you in the café opposite it.”
Ning Qing walked into the washroom, and she stood before the sink to wash her face with cold water. She did not look up, and she was not paying much attention.
There was still a hot warmth on her right hand; it was because of his nudging.
He still had feelings for her.
Just solely by looking at her wearing that dress, he had a reaction, and this kind of feeling should be very intense.
But he did not say anything before he left.
It had taken a while to adjust to a life without him, and every minor action of his was like a stone that was thrown into the lake of heart. It created many ripples.
He flirted with her, and she was moved, then he left.
1She did not know what exactly he meant by this.
Ning Qing was in serious thought. She did not know that a person was standing behind her, but suddenly, a large, defined hand stretched over to help her turn the tap off. “You need such a long time to wash your hands in the winter?”
Ning Qing froze, and she hastily turned around. All she could see was man’s handsome, determined face. He stared at her intently, and there was gentleness and warmth in his eyes.
1The man who had left now suddenly appeared in front of her, and Ning Qing froze for a moment. She looked around the washroom before stretching out her small hand to push him. “Why are you in here? This is the female washroom!”
