| ← Ch.0149 | Ch.0151 → |
"At that time, me, Brother Yunfan, Shuiling, Junxii; the four of us grew up together since our youth. Shuiling was an aloof little princess, and never did she play with Brother Yunfan and Junxi. She was only chasing after her brother Yun Muchen. I had a good relationship with these two youth. I had feelings for Junxi, also for Brother Yunfan's pampering... At that time, we were so innocent, and lead such happy lives.
"But after these 3 years, everything has changed. We are no longer the people we used to be.
"Shaoming, these 3 years without you, it was just like, life is best understood by going through it yourself. Those people who once treated me well, I could count them on one hand. Xiao Zhou, Xue Mei, Kong Yang... Ah, the number of people who helped me was so little. I remember each and every one of them in my heart. I wish, one day in the future, I would be able to repay them. I know about gratitude, I wish to live life with a clear conscience.
"Nobody knew that I didn't like to fight. I fought with Li Meiing and Ning Yao because I was forced to do so. There would be times that I would be exhausted. I wished fervently that life could be more innocent. I was only 20, I imagined the way all 20 year old girls lived their ordinary and simple lives. I wished that everyone by my side hadn't changed."
"So, when Brother Yunfan first returned to the country, he tried to drive a wedge between us. I couldn't even tell at all. I didn't think of that possibility. Even though I know now, it is hard for my heart to accept. How could he like me that way? Why did he have to lust after me?"
"Shaoming, tell me. How did we become like this?"
Lu Shaoming brought her into his embrace. He kissed her again and again on her warm cheek, and comforted her gently."Ning Qing, we cannot control others. If it is inevitable that others change, you just have to stay the same."
"Don't be too upset with what happened with Mu Yunfan. You didn't let Mu Yunfan down, of course. I don't blame you for this. You stood by my side when you were 20. I allow you to make mistakes, allow you to be muddled. There is no perfect being on earth. When you make these mistakes, my heart will ache more, I will love you more in the future."
How could her not pity her?
He knew that the matters involving Mu Yunfan would make her upset, so when Mu Yunfan decided to go rogue, he subtly drugged his alcohol. He did not make any mention of that incident.
She did not need to know.
Her life was full of unhappiness; he only wanted her to be happier.
He understood her. He knew her well, and he knew that she had an innocent and kind heart. There was a type of person on earth; the eyes that were washed by tears would be even more pure, and her heart full of worry that could be warm and comforting.
She was a person like that.
After battling Li Meiling and Ning Yao, she was as strong as a female warrior, but after taking off her armor, she was a youthful and innocent girl.
Who said that she was sweet and foolish? The girl who truly understood life would be beautiful in appearance, and she'd face the world using her wits. Facing her lover, she should be foolish and sweet.
Shouldn't girls be a little foolish and sweet? Lu Shaoming's wife could definitely be more foolish yet sweet, but he liked her this way.
It only mattered that he liked her this way.
Ning Qing lay quietly in Lu Shaoming's embrace. Her pale hand moved along his shirt collar. She laughed foolishly."Shaoming, thank you for comforting me. I am okay, I only... lamen. I will recover and rise up again tomorrow. Rise up again! I know that Mu Yunfan would not stop so easily. Then come on, I will not be afraid. I've already defeated Xu Junxi, and Mu Yunfan will be no different."
Lu Shaoming's heart hurt as if he'd been stung by a swarm of bees. He kissed her forehead and said softly, "Ning Qing, on this earth, everyone will change. I will never change, so don't be afraid with me here. I will be by your side forever."
"Okay." Ning Qing nodded her head. She lifted her crimson red face, and kissed his strong chin."Shaoming, you stay by my side forever. You are different from them all. You are my husband, and you are my whole world."
"Silly girl, I won't ever leave." Lu Shaoming kissed her attractive red lips.
...
The next day, Ning Qing went to school. Because she'd gotten drunk yesterday, when she woke up this morning, she still felt a little giddy. She recalled last night's events, but it was all a blur. She recalled that it was Lu Shaoming who had brought her home from the karaoke bar.
She still remembered that she lay in Lu Shaoming's embrace and said many things. She could not clearly recall the content of the words she said, but a clear sentence rang repeatedly in her ears - I won't leave.
He said that he would never leave her.
Hehe.
Actually, when Ning Qing woke up in the morning, she was afraid that her billionaire husband would criticize her. But she didn't expect that he would be happier than usual. He even accompanied her to eat breakfast, and he even drove her to school. Before leaving, he treated her like a small pet, rubbing her head. Ning Qing was overwhelmed by his actions.
She went to dance. He was actually not jealous?
It was refreshing!
Upon entering the classroom, Ning Qing realized that her desk was swarmed by many classmates. When she stepped forward to look, placed on her desk was a huge bouquet of Forget-Me-Nots.
The blue and pink Forget-Me-Nots were small and cute. The lilac wrapping was very elegant. The fresh flowers still had dew dripping, emanating a fresh fragrance.
Ning Qing was shocked, who would send her flowers?
"Ah, Ning Qing, you are here. Who gave you these Forget-Me-Nots? Sending flowers early in the morning, this is so romantic!"
"That's right, Ning Qing. Forget-Me-Nots have two meanings in floristry. First, everlasting love, second, eternal protection. Ning Qing, what meaning did the person who gifted the flowers to you have in mind?"
The girls pushed her elbow and fluttered their eyes ambiguously.
Ning Qing had no response, the person who would gift her these flowers, Ning Qing could guess who in a moment.
The flowers had a card inside, Ning Qing opened it to have a look, her expectations were correct; it was Xu Junxi.
Ning Qing took the flowers, and threw them into the bin without hesitation.
She didn't bother about which meaning he had in mind. She didn't need them.
"Ay, Ning Qing, why did you throw them away? This is such a waste Ning Qing. These flowers were not sent to by Young Master Lu? Speak truthfully, has Young Master Lu ever given you flowers?"
The girls surrounded her and gossipped furiously.
Ning Qing sat in her seat, her expression frozen. Yeah, she'd been married to Lu Shaoming for so long, but he had yet to gift her flowers.
Ning Qing coughed lightly while her small hand waved."He is so busy normally. He is not someone that would gift flowers. I also don't need them."
"Ning Qing, you can't say that. Couples nowadays watch movies, gift flowers, and go shopping together holding hands. These are all the necessary aspects of a relationship. You are nonchalant now. Wait until you are old. Then, you won't have any romantic memories to look back on."
Hmm, did they really need to be like this?
Ning Qing was a little convinced. She and Lu Shaoming did not even date seriously. And she didn't know; if he gave her flowers and was romantic to her, what would it look like?
Thinking about it alone made Ning Qing soft in her bones, he was such a mesmerizing man. No, whatever he did was enough to charm anyone.
"Aiya, our romantic memories are aplenty, we don't need you all to care about us. Go quickly, go quickly!" She didn't need all these girls to imagine about her husband in their heads. She waved at the crowd and dispersed them.
Everyone left, with dampened spirits.
Ning Qing was happy that it was quiet again. She took out her book from her bag to read. At this moment, a black shadow appeared in front of her.
She did not have the chance to lift her eyes, and she heard the girls screaming, "Young Master Mu!"
Ning Qing felt her head start to ache. After Xu Junxi came Mu Yunfan. What luck did she have?
These two men had such thick skins.
"Qingqing, this is a present from me. Do you like it?" Mu Yunfan held open his palm. In it, lay a sparkling gold necklace.
"Wow, Young Master Mu, this gold necklace is so pretty. Anyone would be lucky to be your sister. You are so good towards Ning Qing."
This was not a blissful thing for Ning Qing. There were too many people around. She forcefully curled her lips into a smile and used her hands to push the gold chain in front of her."Mu Yunfan, stop making a fuss! I don't need this. Take it back with you."
Mu Yunfan revealed pain with his expression."Qingqing, I know you are still angry about happened yesterday. Okay, it was all my fault. Can you forgive me?"
Did he really know what he did wrong?
He did not!
He wanted to give her no alternative in front of all these people.
As expected, the girls were not happy with what occurred."Ning Qing, how can you be like this? How can you call Young Master Mu by his full name? What wrong did Young Master Mu do to let you hate him like this? Don't forget how much Young Master Mu has pampered you in the past. You've gotten so much without appreciating it!"
Ning Qing, "..."
"Okay, I don't allow you to talk about Qingqing like this. Qingqing is merely acting like a child. It will be fine after I comfort her. Qingqing, come, Brother will help you put on this necklace." After saying that, Mu Yunfan bent down to help Ning Qing put on the necklace.
"Mu Yunfan, don't touch me!" Ning Qing had reservations about the things that had occurred at the bar. She quickly stood up and did not allow him to touch her.
Mu Yunfan immediately looked like he had been wronged. The girls started to criticize her again."Ning Qing, you..."
Ning Qing suddenly pointed to the door."Professor Dong, you are here."
Everyone turned to look at the door.
Ning Qing took the chance to run, and left the classroom via the door at the back.
"Ay, why did Ning Qing run? What exactly happened to her?" The girls had many questions.
Mu Yunfan looked at the directions she was disappearing to, his expression grim.
Ning Qing did not return to call for the entire day. She did not know if Mu Yunfan would return to harass her.
She still did not make her mind on how to face Mu Yunfan. She wanted to settle this matter peacefully, but it did not seem feasible now.
Also, about Xu Junxi, Ning Qing wanted to faint. What was he trying to do now?
After school, Ning Qing stepped past school gates. She saw from a distance, there was a Lamborghini and Porsche waiting outside; Xu Junxi and Mu Yunfan were both present.
They looked towards the school. It looked as though they were waiting for someone.
Would they be waiting for her?
Ning Qing immediately turned around and left via the back gate.
As she was trying to leave, her cotton shirt got hooked onto the metal gate. It made a hole in her shirt. Ning Qing instantaneously felt frustrated that she was in this sorry state because of those two men.
She cursed the two men in her heart a few hundred times, and returned to the Tea Pavilion villa with hatred in her heart.
No way they could keep this up. She had to think of a plan to single handedly end these two people.
But how could she settle this? One was her ex fiancé, one was her Brother Yunfan. If this isn't handled well, it will turn into another matter for others to gossip about.
She was a "Best Actress, " and her husband was also of very high status. The two of them could not escape rumours that others would create about them.
Ning Qing felt that this was a thorny matter to settle.
By the time she entered the villa, Lu Shaoming had yet to return. Ning Qing changed into a floral dress and wore a beige knitted cardigan over it.
She sat on the bed for a while, thinking about what the girls said in school. She quickly went in front of the notebook and switched the computer on.
Upon going into the living room, Lu Shaoming had returned."Shaoming, you are back!" Ning Qing ran excitedly into his arms, her pale hand helping to open his coat. He wore a black custom-made suit; he looked mature and earnest.
Ning Qing used her slim arm to cup his coat, while one hand took his briefcase. She bit her red lips and looked at him with bright eyes."Hubby, it has been hard on you."
Her voice was soft and gentle; it was melodious to the ear.
Lu Shaoming looked her twic. , He had suspicions in his heart. She must be flattering him for some reason.
One hand touched the tie on his neck and threw it absentmindedly on the coat in her hands. His deep gaze scanned what she was wearing. She looked innocent and sweet like a flower. He frowned, "Aren't you cold? Why would you need to wear stockings in the house?"
Her flowery dress went down to her thighs, above her knees. Her thighs were not as thin as bamboo. They were slim and long, but they were also toned. Her 53cm waist made her proportions look good. Chinese seniors claimed that this kind of physique was good for giving birth to sons.
It was very sexy.
She didn't wear shorts, just a pair of nude stockings. Lu Shaoming noticed that she didn't often wear this kind of outfit. When they first met each other, he went to her dorm. She was wearing a pink ruffled sleeve striped top, matched with a figure-hugging dark blue jeans. He liked what he saw, and he made the effort to look once more.
She did not wear stockings frequently. It had only been twice or thrice since they'd first met. Lu Shaoming could not help but look at her again. They said that all men had a special love for stockings, and he swallowed his saliva.
No matter what she wore, she was attractive to him.
"There is air-conditioning at home, it is not cold. Moreover..." Ning Qing cupped his muscular arms and smiled, trying to gain his favour."I can only see you in the day at home. Women doll themselves up for someone they love. If I don't wear stockings for you to see, who would I be wearing them for?"
Today, she was speaking so sweetly.
Lu Shaoming cupped onto her thin and soft waist. He rubbed it twice and came to pin her red lips down with his lips.
Ding. The doorbell rang at the moment.
"There's someone here." Ning Qing blushed and pushed him away quickly.
"Um, I will go to answer the door." Lu Shaoming turned and went to the door.
The main door was open, there was a delivery man standing outside."Is this the residence of Ning Qing, Miss Ning? Someone gifted her some roses. Please sign here."
"Roses?" Lu Shaoming lowered his gaze to look at the woman and his handsome face turned sour in a moment.
After signing, and closing the door, Ning Qing put down his clothes and came forward."Shaoming, what is that box in your hands?"
Lu Shaoming did not have any expression and threw the box into her arms."Someone gave you these roses."
Ning Qing's delicate face let out a sweet smile, and she said in surprise, "Wow, roses? Let me see. Who would send me these?"
Lu Shaoming saw the woman open the box. There were 9 dewy roses. She appeared to like them very much, and used her pale hands to count them several times. She even used her nose to carefully sniff them and smiled with her eyes closed, "So fragrant!"f𝘳𝐞𝑒𝚠𝑒𝚋no𝘃eƖ - 🅽🅽novel
Lu Shaoming's sour handsome face immediately turned worse. What man would have such guts to send his wife roses?
"Who sent you these roses, seeing you behave so happily like this?" He said plainly with half-opened eyes.
