Ning Qing broke out into laughter. What nonsense was he talking about? Her dad was probably nervous facing Lu Shaoming; how would he dare despise him?
She did not know what they had talked about for him to come to this conclusion.
"Shaoming, don't be upset. I will go to win over my dad. My dad will definitely like you."
"Okay." Lu Shaoming nodded his head and he turned to look at the kitchen and said in a low voice, "Asking me to be a son in law that stays with the family is obviously unrealistic, but a son in law is half a son. Whatever a son in law who stays with the family can do, I can do so similarly."
Ning Qing used a toothpick to pick a small piece of apple to give it to Lu Shaoming.
The man did not stretch out his hand to receive it. He looked at her small hand, meaning — feed me.
Ning Qing's small face turned red. She looked at the kitchen and said, "Shaoming, don't make a fuss. My parents are here."
Lu Shaoming pursed his lips and did not speak.
Ning Qing felt that he was behaving oddly. From the day they started dating till now, he did not ask her to feed him. This time, they were visiting her parents, which was considered a formal occasion. Why would he... be so cheesy?
Where did his refined education and manners go?
Ning Qing slowly neared him. She took the chance when her parents were not present and speedily placed the small piece of apple to the side of his lips, and he opened his mouth to bite it.
...
The family of four finished dinner, Ning Zhenguo and Yue Wanqing both walked Lu Shaoming to the door. Ning Qing walked with him to the Bentley parked by the roadside.
They reached the side of the Bentley one after another. Ning Qing waved her small hand and said, "Shaoming, drive slowly on the road; I will see you tomorrow."
Lu Shaoming looked at her delicate little face and did not board the car.
"Ning Qing, want to board the car and stay with me for a while?" he asked.
Ning Qing shook her head and said."No, my mother would definitely be standing by the door to wait for me. I need to go back now."
After she spoke, her small waist was hooked by his strong arms. Her back felt chilly, and he had already pushed into the car.
Ning Qing quicky stretched out her small hand to push him. This was the street, and there were cars passing by. How was he not embarrassed to do this kind of thing to her?
Was he shameless?
"Shaoming, what are you doing? Others are looking! Let go of me quickly."
Lu Shaoming stretched out two fingers to cup her small chin, and his calloused fingers lovingly brushed against her soft and supple skin. The girl was moving too much. He frowned and said, "Ning Qing, you are not allowed to give me the cold shoulder!"
If her parents were not satisfied with him, he did not allow her to give him the silent treatment because of it.
He was very nervous tonight, it was the first time in 31 years that he formally went to meet the parents of his girlfriend, and when he was chatting with her father, he tried hard to maintain a straight posture, and he tried to win his favour to open the back door for him. He tried so hard, but her father was not interested in him at all.
Her dad must be arrogant. Her father was definitely the first person to give this treatment when he was trying so hard to get into his good books.
In his life, he had seen much: the top levels meeting in the city, economic discussion forums.... He was eloquent and elegant, and he presented himself to be someone poised and proper.
But he did not expect himself to tumble down here.
Actually, he also felt wronged. He usually prided himself on being noble and virtuous. He did not put anyone into his eyes, and the woman that he loved was this person in front of him.
But he felt even more... unsafe. He could tell that she was filial and respectful to her parents, and he was afraid that she would be influenced by her family and then distance herself from him.
So he wanted her to feed him an apple. He wanted to rely on her, and he wanted to look for safety and a sense of belonging with her.
"Where did I distance myself from you, Shaoming? Let go. You are not allowed to make a fuss out of nothing. If you don't let go, I will be angry."
She still felt wronged. He did not buy her a ring, he did not want to marry her, and now he was even bullying her on the streets. The people passing by were all her neighbours in this estate. What would she do if gossiped amongst themselves about this?
Her lips suddenly had something gentle plastered onto them that brought along the chill of the night' the man kissed her.
He kissed her too suddenly. Ning Qing did not close her eyes, and in her vision was the man's two rows of long, luscious, and beautiful eyelashes. His eyes were closed, and he was kissing her passionately. Ning Qing's heart softened and she tugged on his shirt collar, weakly and shyly accepting him.
Ning Qing did not let loose. He kissed her twice before letting her go. Ning Qing's small, bright red face was buried in his chest, and she asked with a soft and delicate voice, " Shaoming, do you want to bring me back to your condominium?"
The man froze; she could tell?
In the resting room, he did think of it.
"I won't go back with you. My mother said that she doesn't allow me to go back with a man before marriage. Unless you..." Ning Qing pouted her pink lips and was afraid that he would not understand. She held back her shame and said softly, "I liked the ring that we saw tonight very much..."
He did not want to marry her, if one day he found out that she was already his wife, this would not be a surprise, but it would turn out to be a... joke.
If in the department store, Lu Shaoming could not recognize her feelings, then now, he would understand completely.
She...
Lu Shaoming cupped her small face and kissed her forehead intimately."Okay... I will go. You go to sleep early. Good night."
The man kissed the side of her lips again, let go of her, and boarded the car.
The Bentley slowly drove away.
Ning Qing stood at the original spot and sent him away with her gaze. She had prompted him so obviously, but he just responded with an "okay"?
Ning Qing felt a little depressed.
Ay, maybe he still needed time.
The battle was not a success yet. She needed to work harder.
...
Lu Shaoming turned the steering wheel and made a turn. He didn't withdraw his gaze until the girl disappeared from sight.
The ring that she was looking at in the department store — he knew.
There would be two situations where a woman would look at rings. First case, this woman just likes jewelry on a normal basis. Second case, this woman was thinking of marriage.
He could say what he was feeling inside his heart. She leaned softly against the counter. The lights in the store were shining on her snow white skin, illuminating her. It was like the sunset shining on her. Her small, pinkish-white fingers were slowly brushing the glass counter. She was in deep concentration and so sincere.
Actually, he wanted to marry her. 𝘧𝑟𝐞𝒆w𝚎𝙗𝐧ov𝘦𝙡 - 🅽🅽novel
He was already 31 this year. He could meet such a girl in his life that made him appreciate her, love her fondly, and obsess himself with her, and he cherished her very much.
Right when they had started dating, he was thinking of marriage.
But he could not guess her feelings. He has not dated before in his entire life, so he did not know why she would go looking at rings.
No matter the reason, since she liked jewelry, then he would gift her with it.
At that time, he glanced at the brand of the jewellery shop. It was not a well-known brand.
There were many jewelry brand under Guang Qing. They were all luxurious jewelers from Italy. They boasted the leading fashionable designs internationally. He had chosen to remain silent at that time, and it was because he wanted to give her the best.
He would tailor make one for her.
She did not know the benefits of being with an old man like him. If she specified the things she wanted, he could give her the best material goods.
But before he boarded the car just now, she had said, "Marry."
He finally understood. When she was looking at rings, it was because she wanted to marry him.
She wanted to be his "Madam."
Without regard to her parents' attitudes, she already had the thought to get married to him.
Lu Shaoming slowly curled his lips into a smile. His dark eyes had a pampering touch to them. Silly girl, shouldn't marriage be proposed by a man? Could it be that she did not want his... proposal?
Lu Shaoming took out his phone and dialed a number."Hello, Davi, help me design a set of couples' rings..."
...
The next day, Ning Qing continued to hog entertainment news headlines.
The matter had a resounding change.
Firstly, professional PR teams in the entertainment industry commended how Ning Qing settled the matter regarding Liu Wenlong. She could turn a crisis into an opportunity. Ning Qing did not defend herself at all, but she took on the stress piled onto her by the citizens and quickly took a stance and settled this crisis. She reduced the fallout to a minimum.
She did not use any PR tactics deployed during a crisis. She handled it all by herself.
Also, at the same time, hundreds of her good friends in the entertainment industry had come out to support her on Weibo. Not only did they confirm her character, but they also commended her for being professional in her attitude. Every Weibo post was then followed by a crazy amount of reposts, and it became a hot trending topic of its own.
Everything regarding this matter, whether it was her slapping Liu Ling in anger, or how she handled the media in the airport with her calm and poised demeanour, it received a lot of slow motion replays. When opening Baidu, Ning Qing's name was followed by labels like "elegance, dominating."
Her fans on Weibo ballooned overnight from 37 million to 68 million. there was a flood like amount of likes to suppress those who questioned her, and she received a wave of commendation.
In this battle, she had won totally.
In the afternoon, there came another chance to turn things around. A big account on Weibo had the scoop showing a picture of Liu Ling's bank transactions involving large sums, and netizens started to speculate again.
Most of the netizens started to suspect that Liu Ling was acting under someone's orders. The perpetrator behind this had developed a plot, and one of the reasons behind it was to harm Ning Qing.
The netizens all commented that they felt bad for Ning Qing, and they strongly chided the perpetrator behind this all. They all said, "Let go of that girl, if there is anything you want to do, come at us instead."
Ning Qing's side did not participate in any discussion. They chose not to take a stand, and in the afternoon, Ning Qing Work Studio released a group of promotional trailers for City of Love.
The trailers had high viewership after an hour. Ning Qing used her flair in directing to perfectly recreate this famous online romance novel, City of Love. She crushed anyone who had questioned and had malicious comments for City of Love, all without even saying a word.
At the same time, the netizens all commented, "It's great to watch!" They still attentively noticed the Big Cloth Dolls inside, and many media outlets and sponsorship brands contacted Ning Qing Work Studio to try to order them.
Ning Qing Work Studio made an official announcement. The announcement was clear — Sorry, this design comes from Li Yi, and only we have only remembrance left for her.
After the words came out, the netizens all recalled what Li Yi had last said about Ning Qing — To the most beautiful person that I have met in my life... The netizens were choked with tears and at a loss for words.
In this matter, not only did Ning Qing use a smart and calm attitude to deal with things, her actions also exaggerated the special and precious glow on her entire being.
She could accept the comments and pressure on her. She was fine with being wronged. She did not explain. She did not act pretentiously, and she crushed the evil intent against her totally. She took responsibility for both herself and others.
She told everyone — her name was Ning Qing.
The one and only in this world.
1In the room, Ning Qing was lying back in her own office chair. Xiao Zhou helped her take a photo of the chrysanthemum on the balcony. Ning Qing uploaded it onto Weibo. This was the first time she had said anything 5 days after the incident involving Liu Wenlong —"Raising chrysanthemums... Thank you... City of Love will be our promise between one another..."
The Chrysanthemum represents noble and clean-living, calmness and living a simple life. Thanks, thanks for every person. Because of them, she could ride this matter to reach the peak of her entertainment career. She also reminded everyone not to forget about City of Love, and that they will continue to promise one another.
