Chapter 216: You Still Have The Face To Act Young In Front Of Me

“Okay.” Lu Shaoming promised her.

Ning Qing smiled sweetly, then pounced on him and kissed him.

Lu Shaoming caught her and caressed her softly, bringing her towards his body. Then, placing her flat on the bed, he pressed against her and gave another French long kiss to her.

The two of them were out of breath when they separated. Ning Qing wanted to get up. “Shaoming, I will send you off.”

“No need, you lay on the bed to get more rest. Nurse your body back to health quickly.” The man used his hot gaze to lock her in deeply.

Ning Qing was totally shy. She did not know if his last sentence was meant the way she thought it was.

Lu Shaoming used the blanket to tuck her in. He could not bear to leave, and he kissed her forehead again after again. He stood up, got off of the bed, and left through the main doors of the Ning Residence.

…

When he walked out the front door, the spring rain outside had already stopped, He walked to the side of the Bentley and lifted his gaze to look towards the window.

He did not know when the girl perched herself by the window. She was looking at him with sparkling eyes that seemed like water. The warm light emanated from the room. Her eyebrows were curved while she waved using her small hand and said, “Shaoming, drive slowly. I will see you tomorrow.” Lu Shaoming curled his lips into a smile. At this moment, he felt that his empty heart was finally full.

Maybe he always needed a woman like that.

A home like this.

He stepped on the accelerator and the Bentley slowly disappeared in the distance.

Ning Qing’s two slim arms were perched on the window sill. Her small head was lying on her arms, and he looked in the direction the man disappeared to fondly. She had a silly grin on her face.

She could finally gasp for breath now.

Lu Shaoming likes her now.

There was only a short month left in the 3 months promise. It didn’t matter; after the experience tonight, after hearing his confession, she was full of confidence.

Song Yajing would definitely take action in this short span of a month. She would adopt measures appropriate to the situation at hand. While she battled on, she would continue to date Lu Shaoming.

When the time comes, she will tell Lu Shaoming that she was his little wifey.

Everything would turn out well.

Tomorrow will be a better day.

…

The next morning, Ning Qing drank a cup of milk, had an egg, and sampled some dimsum. Yue Wanqing looked on, and she was unable to conceal her happiness as she grinned from ear to ear. “Qingqing, these past few days you seemed to be dealing with a terrible illness. Mum was worried sick. How come you are just like today’s weather? The sun is finally shining after the rain; even your appetite has grown!”

Ning Qing bit the small cake and she gave her mum a smile that was full of energy. “Mum, I was unwell the last few days, from today onwards, I am back to normal. Now I’m back to my normal self. I will report back to work and do my best. I will earn big bucks in the future and take care of you, Mum.”

Yue Wanqing was even more elated. “You are such a sweet talker.”

After breakfast, Xiao Zhou came to pick her up, the two boarded the limo. Xiao Zhou looked at her complexion, which was glowing red through her pale skin, and she was shocked. “Ning Qing, what happened to you? You were still frail and sick yesterday, and now you are looking radiant today!”

Ning Qing winked cheekily and said, “Xiao Zhou, let me tell you. I am officially dating Lu Shaoming now.”

“Really? This is great news!” Xiao Zhou was instantly surprised. “Ning Qing, would it be that Lu Shaoming came to find you yesterday? It seems like this man is really a magic potion; you are making this single person feel like death.”

Ning Qing immediately hit Xiao Zhou’s head and said, “Then why don’t you go find a man to date?”

“Do you think it is so easy to look for a man?” Xiao Zhou smiled as she gave a document to Ning Qing. “Ning Qing, this is an official matter. This is what Xu Junxi sent to our work studio regarding the matter of signing celebrities’ contracts. You take a look at the selected individuals.”

“Okay.” Ning Qing grabbed the document and examined it carefully. She flipped a few pages with a frown on her face.

“Ning Qing, what kind of person do you want to choose?”

“It is very easy – someone who is special. If we have a person who is special, I could help them create a tailor-made special trademark in the entertainment industry. For example, Zhang Tao, when everyone mentions him, he is a synonym for impressive. These types of people would be easily remembered, and they would stay popular for a long period of time.”

Pa! Ning Qing closed the documents, and she had a confident and attractive smile on her small face. “Let’s go, Xiao Zhou. We will give an interview and sign the contract today.”

Ning Qing interviewed a group of celebrities in her own office. She picked a few of them, and one of them was a popular young chap. He was akin to the god of homebody boys, and she was satisfied with him.

She was at the height of her fame, so when they signed the contract they were swift and confident, and did it cleanly and nimbly.

She was busy for the entire afternoon. Ning Qing suddenly thought of something. She said to Xiao Zhou, “Xiao Zhou, how come there are no singers in this pile of documents?”

Xiao Zhou was taken aback. “Ning Qing, do you need singers?”

Ning Qing nodded her head and said, “Yes. After I have signed the contracts with the celebrities and set up my work studio officially, I will be filming a movie. We can choose a singer to be the official singer in my movies. What about this: I saw an audition programme a while ago. There was a person named Liu Wenlong who seemed promising. He had soulful voice that was special. Give him a call and ask him over.”

“Liu Wenlong?” Xiao Zhou shook her head immediately. “There have been a flood of audition programmes recently. Liu Wenlong was named the champion and did enjoy a bout of fame after that, but his developments after that were not too good. The reason behind his downfall was that he is a person who is very reclusive. He did not know how to socialize. There were companies that wanted to sign contracts with him, and he actually rejected all commercial performances. Ning Qing, you have admired intelligent people all this while; how come you have your eyes on a weirdo now?”

Ning Qing curled up her lips and did not seem to mind. “If he’s a weirdo, then he’s a weirdo. We only need to search for a suitable path for him to develop in the entertainment industry. I like his voice very much. It is simple yet touching to the ear. You give him a call, and tell him that Ning Qing has invited him to come here at 3pm today.”

“Ay, okay.” Xiao Zhou agreed to her excitedly. She liked this air of confidence on Ning Qing the most. It made others trust and concede to her.

Xiao Zhou stood up, looked at the clock on the wall, and said with shock, “Ning Qing, it is noon now. Time for lunch! What do you want to eat? I will order it.”

“Okay…” Ning Qing did not set down the work in her hands and thought for a while. “Let me have a dish of boiled salted shrimp, five coloured stir fried sirloin, and stir fried celtuce…”

Xiao Zhou listened on intently, and she was shocked. “Ning Qing, you have ordered 7 to 8 dishes. Can we finish them all? Are you hungry now?”

Ning Qing touched her flat stomach and said, “I am really hungry. I don’t know why, I feel like my appetite has grown today. Oh right, Xiao Zhou, bring me a bottle of sour plums. My mouth feels so plain. I want to eat something with some flavour.”

“Okay.” Xiao Zhou turned to leave.

…

After Xiao Zhou left, Ning Qing was busy with work, holding a pen in her hand. At this moment, the sound of high heel shoes rang in the air. She lifted her gaze to look and there was an uninvited guest, Zhou Zhilei.

Zhou Zhilei was dressed in a professional black and white outfit. She had a light purple vest. Her beautiful face had delicate light makeup on it. She stood with her high heels and walked with the elegance of a lady. She had a classy air of a corporate woman.

She stopped before Ning Qing’s desk and had a light smile. “Miss Ning, how are you?”

Ning Qing did not feel weird that she came. Since she was a guest, Ning Qing lifted her eyebrows, stood up slowly, and smiled. “Miss Zhou, how are you? Have a seat, what would you like to drink?” Zhou Zhilei looked at the small office and looked at the sofa full of newspapers. She curled up her lips lightly and said, “Miss Ning, this is your office?”

Ning Qing poured a glass of tap water for Zhou Zhilei. She looked at her desk that was stacked up with documents, and she said casually, “It is temporary. My office is still under renovation. Miss Zhou might think that it is messy here. I am a little busy today, and have yet to have time to tidy it up.”

Ning Qing handed the glass of plain water to Zhou Zhilei.

Zhou Zhilei did not reach out to receive it. She looked at Ning Qing directly in the eye and said, “Miss Ning, since I came here today, I will speak directly. I hope you can separate yourself from Brother Ming. How much money do you want? I will give you a blank check; you can write whatever you want on it. You can treat it as…alms from me.”

Alms?

Ning Qing did not think that this daughter of a wealthy family would speak with such vengeance from the moment she opened her mouth. Her words were hard to swallow.

Ning Qing had a plain expression while she placed the cup back on the desk. She turned around with her soft body lying on the desk and both arms around her chest, and she said with a languid tone and an easy smile, “Miss Zhou, what are talking about? Alms? Miss Zhou must know that I am still Lu Shaoming’s wife now. There is still the relationship of marriage between us. All of Lu Shaoming’s estate is shared as common property between husband and wife. Miss Zhou wants to compete with me using money. Heh, aren’t you overestimating your capabilities now?”

“You…” Zhou Zhilei’s expression went cold. This was her first time coming face to face with Ning Qing’s gift of the gab.

“Also, speaking of alms… Lu Shaoming, he is my man. He is my husband. You want me to leave him? Then shouldn’t Miss Zhou try begging me first? Beg me to give Lu Shaoming as alms to you? Maybe I could mull it over?”

Zhou Zhilei was furious and she could only laugh. “Heh, Miss Ning, so what if you are Brother Ming’s wife? Can you enter the big doors of the Lu family? Aunt likes me very much. During the trip to Finland, Aunt specially ordered me to seal the deal with Brother Ming.”

She wanted to use Song Yajing to pierce Ning Qing.

Ning Qing laughed coldly in her heart. Song Yajing, Zhou Zhilei – these two women were the standard labels of a wealthy family, but with everything they did, they did not show the elegance and poise of a woman of a family possessing great wealth.

“Oh?” Ning Qing raised her eyebrows and showed her interest as she asked, “Then did Miss Zhou actually seal the deal?”

Zhou Zhilei: “…”

Ning Qing clicked her lips together and laughed. “Look, even if you are prepared to give it all to him, Lu Shaoming would not seal the deal with you. I thought through this matter and it made me understand. No matter how close you hold onto my mother in law without letting go, it will not be of use unless you want to live your entire life alongside my mother in law. And as long as Lu Shaoming has me in his heart for a day, I will be family with my mother in law. I think you have hinted and said many bad things about me in front of my mother in law. It is of no use, and there will be a day when you will once again be an outsider!”

Zhou Zhilei could not maintain the poise of an educated lady of belonging to a wealthy family. She tightened her fingers into a fist and stared with wide eyes at Ning Qing. She was here to provoke Ning Qing, but she did not expect to be killed in a single second.

She always thought that she held on the power of taking the initiative, but after Ning Qing spoke, she was actually walking into a dead end.

That was right, no matter how outstanding she is, no matter how much others favor her, what use is it if Lu Shaoming does not like her?

“Miss Ning, don’t you think with your lowly family background that sticking around shamelessly around Brother Ming like this is very embarrassing behaviour?”

Ning Qing turned around and walked around the office desk to slowly take a seat on her own chair. She confidently smiled and said, “Embarrassing behaviour? Then what should I do? I still feel that Miss Zhou is unaware of honour and shame. You seduced someone else’s husband. This is shameless behaviour that ignores morals as a third party in a relationship! Also, don’t address Brother Ming as a ‘Brother’ and call him so intimately. You are older than me by a whole 5 years. Based on my age, I should address you as an older sister, and you still have the face to act young in front of me?
