Ning Qing finally understood how childish her request was. They weren’t on the same level.

Ning Qing wanted to push him away.

…

After the deep kiss, Ning Qing heard his heart beating fast.

Lu Shaoming pursed his lips satisfyingly then he touched her hair gently and said, “Ning Qing, I’m leaving, most likely for three days.”

Ning Qing lifted her head in his embrace. His s.h.i.+rt crumpled due to her grip. She extended her hand to smooth it out but didn’t know what to say. She only responded with an “mm.”

The atmosphere was quiet yet sweet. Lu Shaoming leaned forward to give her a quick peck on her cheek. He spoke when his lips were against her skin, “I’m leaving now.”

“Come back soon!” Ning Qing let out a reply without much thinking when she saw him leaving but yet to leave.

The moment she said that she regretted it, because the man was smiling. It was as though he were laughing at a wife who was loath to be apart from her newlywed husband.

She felt resentful but suddenly the door opened and Lu Shaoming left the car.

Ning Qing lifted her head to watch his back. There was another luxurious car waiting for him while Zhu Rui waited by the door with a jacket in one hand and a briefcase in the other. Lu Shaoming took the jacket and briefcase before he got in the car.

The car went from close to far after the door was closed.

Ning Qing couldn’t tell how she felt. Someone was missing by her side and something was missing in her heart, she felt as though she were suffocating.

Zhu Rui entered the car and asked, “Madam, where do we go?”

Zhu Rui already changed the way she addressed her.

“To the hospital.”

…

Yue Wanqing woke up at night and the doctor came to do a quick check. Her body was in normal condition. Ning Qing fed her mom warm water and chatted with her for a bit.

Ning Qing didn’t tell her mom that she got married. She was worried that her mother couldn’t accept it. Plus, Lu Shaoming was not around. She wanted her mom to recover before she introduced her mom to Lu Shaoming.

She was confident that her mom would like a good man like Lu Shaoming.

Ning Qing returned to her room after her mom fell asleep.

She lied on the bed but tossed and turned. She couldn’t sleep. She extended her hand to reach for her phone. He should have arrived in London, right?

Should I text him?

She thought a lot earlier. Strictly speaking, they didn’t get married because of love. There wasn’t any solemn pledge of love. She couldn’t understand the status of their marriage and she didn’t know how to get along with him in the future.

She lied prostate on the bed and typed a message.

Firstly, she was already wondering how to address him. But she put that thought aside and got to the point straight away.

[I’d like to ask if you have any request for our marriage? Such as, how long you want to be married for? Do we or don’t we involve ourselves in one another’s personal life? Of course, due to your great contribution in our relations.h.i.+p, I can won’t have any boyfriends but I won’t stop you from getting a girlfriend. Finally… I want to take care of my mom. You do your own thing while I stay with my mom.]

Ning Qing amended the message a few times before she sent it.

She didn’t know how he’d reply and she fixed her gaze on the screen.

Five minutes later, “ding”, he replied.

[I do not plan to have an extramarital affair nor do I plan to divorce. After Mom gets discharged from the hospital, move in and stay with me.]

His message was short and direct, just like his usual self.

Ning Qing blushed as she read the message. He meant clearly that he wanted to spend his whole life with her and he made a promise.

For the past three years, she had seen many people who walked in the hall of marriage. Actually, marriage was very mundane. Many people break up due to material factors like cars and properties.

She once thought that she would definitely want to bring her mom along and take care of her mom if she were to get married. If the man were to be unhappy about it, she’d rather not get married.

However, the way he addressed her mom as his own comforts all her insecurities.

As for… stay with me…

Ning Qing flipped over and lied on the bed. The table light shone on her beautiful eyes and her eyes felt extremely bright. She bit her lower lip and smiled.

She slept on her side and composed another message.

[Actually, I broke your watch.]

It’s time for her to be honest.

The man replied very quickly. Her phone flashed in a few seconds and she unlocked it to read the message.
