novelThen Shall We Kiss Next
| ← Ch.0269 | Ch.0271 → |
They were stuck together for a long while before they separated. Lu Shaoming closed his eyes and calmed his body down.
He stretched out his hand to tidy her nightgown and carried her onto the bed. He turned around to get a tape measure and then went back to the bed again.
Ning Qing covered her chest with one small hand. Her small was burning. The skirt of the nightgown was a little short. It could not cover her safety shorts from the side, and she femininely tugged down on her skirt to cover it, not allowing him to look.
He only knew how to bully her.
The man was back. He probably rushed back. He was wearing yesterday's clothes, and his white shirt was tucked into his trousers under his metal belt, and now one side of his shirt was squeezed out totally. He looked messy and wild.
She glanced downwards, and in her vision, she noticed that he was wearing a pair of well-tailored trousers. He had the strong scent of a mature man, and his long legs were bent in a cool, gentle arc. He was especially mesmerizing.
He bent his down and lifted her nightgown up again."Lu Shaoming!" She was shy as she refused his advance.
Lu Shaoming lifted his gaze to look at him. He had a rogue smile on his lips and said, "Wifey, I want to measure your stomach. You're rejecting me like this but with such welcoming actions. What are you reminding me of?"
Who was rejecting him with welcoming actions?
Ning Qing was at a loss for words, and she released her small hand like he wished.
Lu Shaoming lifted her night gown up and placed the tape measure around her small belly and took measure of its circumference.
The man saw the number and his brows furrowed. His facial expression was serious as he said, "Ning Qing, I was out on a business trip for 7 whole days; how come you haven't plumped up but instead slimmed down? Didn't you eat?"
After he found out she was pregnant, he would use the tape measure every night to measure her stomach. He took notes and he would know when she got heavier or slimmed down.
Ning Qing was afraid that he would get angry, and she immediately stretched out her small hand to hook onto his neck and said, "Hubby, don't be so fierce towards me okay? I did eat my meals, but I have been busy recently and maybe have slimmed down just a little. Hubby, you don't even take pity on me; you only know how to be fierce towards me."
Lu Shaoming held onto the tape measure and maintained his half kneeling stance. He lifted his eyes to scan her small face. She looked energetic, and her small face was also radiant. Her white skin had a healthy pink glow to it.
But there were dark rings below her beautiful eyes, probably because of her fatigue. He felt his heart soften incredibly. He stretched out his hand to squeeze her supple cheeks and explained, "Wifey, I know that you have been working hard recently. You have been busy dealing with my mother, Yingjie and Zhou Zhilei. I am not being fierce towards you; I am only pitying you."
"This is more like it." Ning Qing kissed his lips and did not retreat. She nudged him cutely and said, "Hubby, it has not been hard on me. This is our home. Protecting it is my responsibility. Didn't I just get a little slimmer? You are back now. Won't it be fine if you indulge me right now? I've missed you so much; you are not allowed to have a stern face now. Give me a smile."
Her big, youthful eyes looked misty. The small pregnant woman had more flavour. It only took one random glance from her. Not knowing if she was displeased with him or not, it was enough to make his entire body feel pain.
Lu Shaoming slowly curled up his lips and gave her a gentle smile.
Ning Qing kissed him with satisfaction.
Ning Qing did not know how long they had kissed until they were on the bed. Ning Qing hugged him while her thoughts were all over the place, and the man stopped suddenly and put himself on top of her. His eyes were a little red, and his voice was very hoarse as he said, "Are you hungry? I will go take a shower, and change my clothes. Auntie Yang probably went to purchase groceries. What do you want to eat? I will cook later."
Ning Qing's eyes brightened up and in a soft tone, she asked, "You also know how to cook?"
The man lifted his eyebrows and came down from her body, "I have never cooked, but I can learn." He walked to the closet to take a pair of black casual pants and said, "You can teach me. If you teach me well, I can confirm that I would be able to do it well"
He went into the washroom.
The door of the washroom was not closed. The cold air from inside seeped into the other room. He was taking a cold bath.
Ning Qing was lying sideways on the bed. Her small face was crimson red, and she was only 5 months pregnant now. What would he do in the future?
Her pearly white teeth bit down on her pink lips. She wanted to go in, but thinking about it, she still decided not to. The last time they had video chatted, he really made her... unable to control herself.
It was so embarrassing.
Now, they did it around once a month, and every time they need to make an appointment. He was 31 when he had his first child. Although he said it like that, he was especially nervous and prudent towards this child, and he not dare wrong the mother or the son.
He did not dare be reckless, but he occasionally missed that taste and also would hug her. It was the hardest to bear during the night. She could not let him touch her. He was on edge and she was also on edge.
She did not know if they should sleep in separate beds?
She was thinking messily and the man walked out. He was only wearing a pair of shorts. He was bare bodied on his upper half, and his short hair still had water droplets on it. The moisture on his body made him seem extra handsome and young.
Ning Qing did not dare look at him. She used her two small white hands to cover her own eyes.
Lu Shaoming saw her behaving like such a small girl and felt it was hilarious. He walked forward and caressed her small head, then went to the closet to grab a grey shirt to put on.
Ning Qing could not control her own eyes, . She secretly opened her eyes to a tiny sliver to look at him. His back was facing her and when he put on his shirt, his shoulder blades by his back were enlarged greatly, full of his masculine strength.
It was not an exaggerated enlargement, rather, it was delicate.
As she was looking on, the man turned around suddenly.
His large hands that had defined bones were buttoning up the shirt. The shirt was not tucked into the belt, and the buttons were not fully buttoned. They were only buttoned to the top 3 buttons.
"Ah!" Ning Qing gave a shriek and immediately covered her two eyes.
She did not see anything.
She did not see anything!
The next moment, her body was lifted up. Her small bottom was held onto by the man's large palms, and because he moved too suddenly, she was afraid of falling below. She immediately stretched out her hand to hook onto his neck, and her two slim thighs were locked on his strong waist.
"Heh." The man had a low laugh and his eyebrows were deep and clear."Wifey is so welcoming?"
"What are you talking about?" Ning Qing was embarrassed, and she perched on his broad shoulders. She was too shy to look at him.
Lu Shaoming used one hand to support her bottom, and the other hand touched her head. In a pampering tone, he said, "Wifey, if you want to look at me then have a look. No need to hide it. I am yours. Nobody will laugh at you for doing so."
He had said no one would laugh at her; he loved to tease her.
Ning Qing buried herself in his neck. She was like a piglet who was nudging onto his short wet hair. He had a good scent on him, and the cold shower made him have a refreshing vibe together with the fragrance from the bath.
...
The two of them walked into the kitchen and Lu Shaoming causally grabbed onto a soft cushion and placed it on the glass counter, then picked her up to sit on top of it."Wifey, want do you want to eat?"
"Umm." Ning Qing pouted her pink lips as she contemplated."There is steak inside the fridge. Hubby you take it out and fry it for me to help me fill my stomach. We will wait for Auntie Yang to come back to cook dinner. Hubby, learn it step by step. Learn the easy stuff first."
Lu Shaoming did not show off. Culinary skills were not something that could be mastered in a day, and she was also picky with her food. She was not easy to take care of.
He took out the steak from the fridge. There was a seasoning packet inside. Lu Shaoming rolled up one of his sleeves and cast his gaze downwards to follow the instructions on the packet.
He lit the stove and heated the pan up. He opened the packaging calmly, and Ning Qing's eyes were filled with small pink bubbles. He was naturally a high level harsh director. She didn't expect him to come home and be able to keep calm in the kitchen. He was cool, collected, and precise with each step.
As people say; there is nothing that cannot be mastered, it's only up to the person on whether he is willing to learn.
Ning Qing looked at his hand that was usually holding onto a fountain pen, and he was using it now to slowly fry the steak. He was cooking for her, filling her stomach, and feeding little Young Master Lu. This thought brought her much bliss.
Lu Shaoming took the gap while he was frying the steak and looked at the free-range chicken eggs on the glass counter. When he touched them, they were warm, and he took one egg out and slowly peeled it.
The egg that was peeled was passed to the girl, and he saw that her eyes were full of moisture. She was looking at him with admiration, Lu Shaoming straightened his body and put one hand in his pocket. He lifted his eyebrows saying, "Ning Qing, if you dare to use your eyes to seduce me again, then don't blame me for not being courteous towards you."
"What are you saying?" Ning Qing swung her legs that were in mid-air, and stretched out her small hand to receive the egg, . She took a small bite and pouted her lips looking wronged, then said, "My eyes need to be focused on you. I can't control it. Hubby, did you not hear my eyes talking? Lu Shaoming, don't seduce people like this, okay?"
He was actually the one seducing her.
This man was absolutely handsome.
Lu Shaoming curled his lips into a pampering smile. He has been alive for 31 years and had not heard anyone speak to him like that. He heard the girl's cheeky words of love.
He could not help but stretch out his hand to squeeze her small face and say, 'Ning Qing, if you are unable to control it, then I am willing to let you pounce on me."
Ning Qing did not bother with him. She was pregnant; how would she pounce on him?
She used her small hands to split the egg into two. She ate yolk inside and gave the white to him."Hubby, this is for you to eat."
Lu Shaoming had a frown on his face."You can't even finish an egg, why are you so picky with your food?"
Ning Qing wanted to rebut him. She pointed towards her own stomach and was bold as she said, "Hubby, it is not me who is picky with food, but it is little Young Master Lu. Little Young Master Lu secretly told me something. He said, 'Mama, I don't like to eat egg whites. Have Daddy help finish them, ' so Hubby just have it."
She was now looking for an excuse and was getting better and better at it.
Lu Shaoming was helpless. He went over and opened his mouth, and she put the egg white into his mouth.
The steak was ready quickly, Lu Shaoming dished the steak out and placed it onto a plate. He then used a knife and fork to cut the steak into small pieces.
The way the man cut the steak was very elegant. He lowered his gaze, and his focused look made his sculpture-like features even gentler. He did not button the top 3 buttons on his shirt, revealing masculine, sculpted collarbones.
Ning Qing was looking on, mesmerised. He brought the plate over and fed her the steak."Is it good?"
Ning Qing chewed for a moment. The taste was delicious, and she was also hungry. She swallowed it quickly and was burnt in the process, so she used her small hand to fan herself."It's so good. I want more."
Lu Shaoming fed her another piece, and looking at her sharp nose that was emitting sweat because of the heat, he said gently, "Eat slowly! No one is snatching it from you."
As he spoke, he turned around to walk to the microwave. He took the warmed milk out of it, poured it into a cup, and gave her a mouthful of milk.
He was taking care of Ning Qing so well. She closed her eyes in contentment, and the man was still asking, "What do you still want to eat? Should I go make some pasta for you?"
"No." Forget about noodles. He would have difficulty cooking them as it was still his first time cooking."Hubby, I didn't expect that you would be so good at cooking, even though it is your first time. Hubby is awesome, as expected!"
She was not stingy as she complimented him.
The man laughed and held onto her slim waist with a muscular arm. The milk was placed at the side of the glass counter. He bent down and puckered his lips."Wifey, then should we kiss next?"
