He was too furious just now, He was so furious that his brain barely worked. That Xu Junxi, with his abilities, he actually could use one fist to make him end up on the floor, but he was actually so weak until both of them ended up brawling with one another.
Lu Shaoming, you are really too weak.
Lu Shaoming looked at the girl's tiny figure. He was still a little angry, but his heart was already soft like water. He thought of the scene where she was eating a bowl of rice quietly. He looked on as she walked alone on the road, and his heart was very much pain.
He really pitied her.
Couldn't she just take the initiative to take a step towards him. If she took one step forward, he would take the remaining 99.
Ning Qing, Ning Qing...
Lu Shaoming repeated her name in his heart numerous times. He thought about that night. His physical body was happy, and looking at how she had a cold attitude towards him right now, his heart was in pain. Today, every minute is torture.
What should he do with her?
...
Xu Junxi drove by with his girlfriend on the main street. He also saw Ning Qing, including the Bentley behind Ning Qing.
Xu Junxi stopped the car beside the street, and he said gently, "Get on."
"What?" His girlfriend was puzzled.
Xu Junxi bent his body forward. He used his long arms to open the front passenger seat door and said, "I am sorry, my condition today is not too good, I think... I still love a person inside my heart. I need to reconsider our relationship."
The girlfriend lifted her gaze to look at Ning Qing who was a distance away, and said gently and fearfully, "Is it because of her? I have heard about what happened between both of you in the past. No matter what, Junxi, I will wait for you."
The girlfriend got out of the car.
Xu Junxi was in a mess right now. He did not look at his girlfriend, but he stepped on the accelerator and sped in front of the Bentley, and stopped his car beside Ning Qing.
...
Lu Shaoming recognized Xu Junxi's car, and his face turned sinister. He floored the brake with both his eyes staring straight in front of him.
"Ning Qing." Xu Junxi rolled down his window and called out to her.
Hearing someone call out to her, Ning Qing turned her gaze sideways. She did not stop in her tracks, but she curled up her lips into pure smile and said, "President Xu, it is such a coincidence. We meet again."
Xu Junxi continued to drive slowly, and said, "Ning Qing, it is not a coincidence. I saw you here so I drove over here. Ning Qing, Lu Shaoming has lost his memory. His mother does not like you, and you continuing to be together with him will be very tiring for you. How much more youth do you have to waste on a person that has lost his memory? If he doesn't recover his memories at all, what are you going to do?"
The warm spring breeze made Ning Qing's hair flow in the wind. A smile slowly overtook her small, gentle face, and she looked at Xu Junxi and replied softly, "I never thought about what I was going to do if he didn't recover his memories. If he doesn't want me anymore, what am I going to do? That's what I've been thinking about."
Xu Junxi froze.
Ning Qing continued, "President Xu, go back. Don't follow me. I don't need your care. These words, I hope they are the last time that I hear them, if not, we can't continue being friends anymore."
After that, Lu Shaoming saw Ning Qing turn at the bend. It was a pedestrian street. He could not drive his car there, and her figure was quickly disappearing from his line of sight.
Lu Shaoming's sinister eyebrows slowly dissipated, and he slowly curled up his lips into a smile.
He just knew that she would not have a vague relationship with Xu Junxi.
She had one person living inside her heart. He knew that she could not give him her first time. It was okay. He allowed her to leave a piece of clean slate to give to the person who has departed. It would be okay if she accompanied him in the future.
Lu Shaoming turned the steering wheel, and the Bentley sped away.
Xu Junxi was slumped in the driver's seat. Ning Qing's words were clear and crisp. She was very direct. The two of them would never be together.
At this moment, a knock could be heard at the window of his car. His girlfriend stood by the street, and had a gentle smile on her face while she said, "Junxi, you should really let go this time. There are only two people in love. No matter the circumstances, it is not able to withstand the commentary of a third party, and you will never enter her heart."
...
The next day, Ning Qing had a second endorsement that wanted her to do an advertisement. This was the most well known Korean online sales website that was available in China. Not only did Ning Qing endorse them and have shares in their company, this was also considered to be endorsing her own brand.
A woman managing a fashion brand. This was the most popular brand on the market right now.
Ning Qing had many changes of outfits and took many different shots. One of them was a white shimmery mermaid tail skirt. She put her hair into a high bun and was striking a pose.
At this moment, a familiar figure walked into her line of vision. Lu Shaoming brought Zhu Rui along with him, and both of them arrived on the scene.
The man was dressed in a light green shirt, matched with a pair of grey pair of business trousers. The man's legs were too long, and he made the pair of business trousers look like bermudas. He had a pair of black cotton socks on his feet together with his black pointed leather shoes. He looked exquisite and perfect on the whole.
It was the first time that Ning Qing saw the man dressed in a warm colour like light green. It made him lack the stern coldness that he usually had. He appeared handsome and refreshed.
He was conversing with the site manager, and two fingers on his right hand were elegantly clipped together to hold a document, leaving her to see half of his handsome and beautiful arc of his features.
Zhu Rui was conversing with him softly. It was only then that he lifted his gaze to channel his gaze over in her direction.
Ning Qing glanced at him once, and did not have any expression on her face. At this moment, the photographer shouted, "Start shooting now." She lay back on a pink wall behind her and stood there attractively, showing off her S figure.
She had a fan in front of her, and the wind was making the strands of hair by her cheeks fly in the wind messily. She used one hand to lift her skirt, and another hand was combing her fringe back sensually. Her lips were curling upwards, and she let out a graceful and lazy smile.
"Young Master Lu...." The site manager noted that Lu Shaoming was not listening to his words, and was instead channelling his gaze at the girl beside him, so he called out to him, but one time was not enough. The man was looking at the girl in a daze, and his deep eyes had some trace reminiscent of... the infatuation between a couple during their honeymoon phase?
"Young Master Lu, Young Master Lu..." the site manager called out numerous times.
Lu Shaoming regained his senses, and calmly replied without any hint of awkwardness, "Yeah?"
"Oh, Young Master Lu, please head this way. I will bring you to look around the department store, " the site manager said politely.
"Sure." Lu Shaoming left with the site manager.
While he was leaving, he heard the photographer say "Okay, " and complement Ning Qing saying, "Director Ning, we have finished our work load today perfectly. What other female artistes need half a day to complete their shoot? Director Ning took merely one hour; you definitely live up to your reputation."
"That's not the case. I'm of no use alone. I still need to thank your entire photography team for being so professional. Let us pack up, lunch will be on me."
After taking a few steps, the site manager was still talking about something. Lu Shaoming did not listen to a single word. He looked Zhu Rui instead and said, "I remembered that Ning Qing gifted me a photobook before?"
"That's right, President. It is inside your office."
"Okay." Lu Shaoming nodded his head, and he lifted his gaze to look at the site manager."You seem to be very glib with your tongue. You have been talking non stop; do you want me to transfer you to the sales department?"
The site manager: "..." He got embroiled in a mess.
He was downgraded from a manager to an executive in sales?
This was a total downgrade. What did he exactly do to make this president not happy?
Lu Shaoming pursed his thin lips lightly and lifted his heels as he left.
Zhu Rui gave a pitiful look to the site manager. His president said that he was observing the department store. It was not the case at all, but rather, his entire heart was on the girl herself.
...
Ning Qing changed into a new set of clothes and removed her makeup. She sat on the chair and did not stand up for a long time. Xiao Zhou noticed that her face was a little pale, and she hurried over and asked, "Ning Qing, what is wrong with you?"
Ning Qing used her small hand to cover her stomach and said, "I think I was standing in front of the fan for too long just now. My stomach feels hard and uncomfortable."
Xiao Zhou placed her coat over her shoulders and said, "Ning Qing, why are your cramps so bad this time?"
Ning Qing bit down on her lips and did not reply. She stood up slowly and said, "I have to go to the washroom, and you accompany the rest of them to eat. I will come over in a bit."
...
Ning Qing walked to the corridor, and at this moment, there was a familiar person there - Lu Shaoming.
The two of them came across one another, and Ning Qing curled up her lips gently to say, "Young Master Lu."
Seeing that she was willing to take the initiative to talk to him, Lu Shaoming's stern face instantly became gentle, and just about when he wanted to speak, the girl opened the women's bathroom door and walked inside.
Lu Shaoming: "..." Was she fooling him?
Lu Shaoming stood at the original spot, and he looked around him. There was no one around, and he heard some sounds coming from the washroom. As there was no one else around, he turned around and also entered the female washroom.
Kacha! He locked the door from the inside.
Ning Qing stood at the sink to wash her hands. The man came behind her to stand beside her. Both of his hands were inside his pockets. He was really very close to her, and the material of both their clothes were touching one another.
The two of them did not have any contact for 3 or 4 days. Lu Shaoming's gaze wandered on her small face longingly. Her face was very pale. It was even more pale than the other time when she walked out of the hotel in Finland. The lamp in front of the sink illuminated her white and supple face. It was as white as the white of an eye. He could see every single tiny vein on her face, and there was no trace of blood in her face.
Her body had a fragrant scent. It was probably because of the facial milk that she was using, or maybe it was the scent of her hair that she let down. Nnonetheless, she had a fragrance on her, and it was the clean and sweet smell that belonged to a girl.
"Are you not feeling well?" He took the initiative to ask her how she was doing, and his deep and sexy voice had a hint of hoarseness in it."You are still working when you are not feeling well?"
Ning Qing smiled lightly and said, "Didn't Young Master Lu want to compete for the shares of Island Wide Media Entertainment? You want to compete using money, so if I do not put in hard work to earn money, then I will be broke."
Lu Shaoming pursed his thin lips lightly and said, "You know that I did not mean it that way."
Ning Qing, who was washing her hands at that time, froze and did not give a reply.
Lu Shaoming used his hand to turn off the tap. He slowly bent down, and one of his hands was hooked over Ning Qing's small waist, pinning her against the sink. He used another large hand to brush over her small face and said, "Ning Qing, treat me... a little better; I will support you..."
He had not finished his words, and pushed his hand off of her face. She took a few steps backwards in retreat.
Her immense rejection made Lu Shaoming's facial expression darken completely, and he said, "Ning Qing!"
Ning Qing used one small hand to place it on her chest. She wanted to control the urge to puke, and her eyebrows were tightly knitted together as she said, "You have a fragrance on your body. Which woman did you touch?"
Lu Shaoming's eyes sparkled once, and his ears got red.
He did not touch any woman! This was not the smell of a female fragrance, but... it was a man's scent.
He used some cologne in the morning.
Didn't all women like men using cologne? He used some, wanting her to like it, but he did not expect her to dislike it. Her expression looked as if she even despised it!
But he would never explain it even if she beat him up. He was unable to say it with his own mouth.
The girl put her guard up against him, and she distanced herself from him as if he were a type of virus, Lu Shaoming felt awkward, and at the same time, he felt a little anger. He said, "Ning Qing, since you hate me so much, then I will leave now. After I go, don't ever think of meeting me again."
Lu Shaoming lifted his feet and departed.
