“There’s no question. Doesn’t marriage mean meeting the right person at the right time? Ning Qing, I like you. I happen to need a wife so I want to marry you. You need a man to rely on and keep you company, so you wouldn’t feel lonely. You like me so you marry me. The two of us can become a family.”

The man’s deep and serene eyes reflected the resplendent lights outside the window. It was as though she looked into two pool of beautiful yet dangerous whirlpools.

The handsome sculpted face, elegant temperament, great personality, and self-control… The man was very attractive. Ning Qing admitted that she liked this type.

But…

Ning Qing shook her head, “No way… We’ve only known each other for such a short time. I don’t know you yet… And I’m not ready to get married yet. My life is a mess… Maybe you will regret it in the future. I’m not as good as you may think…”

Lu Shaoming touched Ning Qing’s hair pitifully and said lightly, “You’re like this. How great do you want me to imagine you to be?”

“You!” Even though he said it in a jokingly manner, Ning Qing was upset. Was that how he’d propose? She extended her fist and punched his shoulders, “Then, why do you talk about getting married?”

Lu Shaoming pulled her into his embrace and kissed her face, “But Ning Qing, the person I like and want to marry is you.”

Hence, there was no imagination.

Ning Qing felt touched. The man’s embrace was comforting and warm. Even the lips that kissed her cheeks gave a light peck, with no s.e.xual desire. It was as though she was his most precious treasure.

How did she come across such a man?

She felt delighted. She felt his gentility and consideration at his every action. She believed that any woman couldn’t refuse such a man.

However, after Xu Junxi’s betrayal, she was suspicious and against love.

Plus, her life was really in a mess. She was worried that he would really forsake her when he knew more about her.

I need time to think about it,” Ning Qing was careful in his embrace as she tugged his s.h.i.+rt and said.

Lu Shaoming, “Alright. You need time, I can wait. But Ning Qing, I, Lu Shaoming, am thirty this year. I am healthy in mind and body. I have great qualities. I am really considering marrying you very seriously, I hope you could consider seriously too.”

“Mm.”

…

Ning Qing woke up very early the next morning. The night before, she twisted and turned but couldn’t fall asleep. She kept reciting the man’s name, Lu Shaoming.

His confession and proposal on the previous night was like a dream. For the past three years, the men who approached her never lacked money but they were all greedy and perverse. Among, it included Xu Junxi. However, Lu Shaoming was like a pure jade that warmed her heart.

She shook her head and swung out Lu Shaoming’s flawless and handsome face. She quickly got off her bed, washed her face and brushed teeth. She still had to earn her mother’s surgery fees.

After she left her bedroom door, she took out her phone to read the message that Xiao Zhou sent to her. The message showed her the hotel room number that she was going to.

Ning Qing sat on the public bus and read the headline for entertainment.

It was expected. It was news about Xu Junxi’s public announcement of Ning Yao as his girlfriend. The headlines included the fact that Ning Yao got the role of the Pink Lady, as well as Li Meiling’s scandal as a mistress.

Ning Qing smirked. She didn’t understand what Xu Junxi was doing. He could easily suppress the news about Li Meiling’s scandal if he wished.

But, he just let her be exposed.

She read through Li Meiling’s column. As Li Meiling was low profile for the past few years, the media hardly had any other news. Besides Li Meiling married into the Ning family three years ago, there was no other valuable information.

The scandal stirred a commotion. However, Li Meiling didn’t respond at all. What’s ridiculous was that Li Meiling was supported by the digital citizens for her tough personality. Everyone started leaving comments about how Ning Yao wasn’t Ning Zhenguo’s daughter and every woman deserves their right to go after happiness.

Such a joke. Everyone forgot the fact that Li Meiling chased after her happiness while she and her mother became the price to pay.

With the headlines, Li Meiling and Ning Yao suddenly became the top topic on the search engine and Weibo hit topic.

Ning Qing understood that, as Li Meiling’s daughter and Xu Junxi’s girlfriend, Ning Yao’s first exposure was done nicely. They treated danger as an opportunity. The two of them successfully made Ning Yao famous.

Ning Yao got famous.

Ning Qing kept her phone and looked outside the window. She couldn’t believe that Li Meiling’s incident was only the beginning. If she was not mistaken, Xu Junxi would take action soon.
