Ning Qing was stunned as she looked up in a panic. She b.u.mped into a pair of dark eyes that were deep and bright. It was Lu Shaoming.
Lu Shaoming was back.
He was still wearing the white s.h.i.+rt he’d worn yesterday afternoon. The corners of his s.h.i.+rt were tucked into his black trousers by a s.h.i.+ny metal belt, his waist strong and narrow. Perhaps because of the flight, his clothes had been wrinkled, but it had not diminished his n.o.bility and power. Even those wrinkles gave off a man’s elegance and handsomeness.
Behind him stood a personal a.s.sistant, who held his suit in one hand and his business bag in the other.
One hand was shoved into his pants’ pocket while another gripped onto her waist, he deep gaze swept past the tears on her face. His s.e.xy thin lips tipped slightly, and he looked at her with a slight adoration, as if he were looking at a little girl who loved to cry.
“Wahh…” Ning Qing’s suddenly released her tightly wound up feelings and cried out. She was like a lost soul wandering in the lonely sea who had finally spotted a moored port.
“Lu… Shaoming, you’re back. You’re back at last.”
Not only was this girl not overjoyed that he was back, but she was crying with increasing ferocity. Lu Shaoming frowned helplessly at that.
He took his hand out from his trousers pocket, and caressed her delicate back, patting her back lightly. “What happened, don’t cry, I’m here.”
Ning Qing put her small head on his broad chest. Although he was only holding her gently, his gentle strength was enough to ignite all her sadness, fear and grievances.
“Shaoming, *Sobs*… Mom’s ignoring me. Mom doesn’t want me anymore. I lied to her and told her I was learning to play the piano, she knows that I’d been acting all along, Wahh…”
Lu Shaoming heard roughly what had happened from the girl’s sobbing voice. He didn’t change his expression. He looked at the closed door in front of his eyes. He said, “Alright, I get it. Trust me. I’ll go have a talk with your mother.”
Have a talk?
Ning Qing raised her head in his arms. She looked at him with a pair of teary autumn eyes. “How? Mom refuses to open the door.”
Ning Qing looked down. She hung her two little hands down helplessly in front of her, like a child who’d done something wrong. “And, I’m sorry, I haven’t had time to tell my mother about our marriage… Mom doesn’t know about your existence yet.”
Although she hadn’t kept it a secret deliberately, they were already married. Her hiding it from her mom made it seem as if she was having an affair with Lu Shaoming. She felt apologetic towards him.
He’d be angry for sure.
Her cold helpless little hand was slowly enveloped by a big warm hand. Lu Shaoming put his arm around her shoulder and pinned her against the wall. “I understand, we can take it slowly. You stand here and wait. Don’t run around, I’m going in now.”
Isn’t he angry?
Ning Qing looked up and wanted to ask him, but then Zhu Rui came over with Dr. Luo. After Dr. Luo bowed respectfully to Lu Shaoming, he took out a bunch of keys from the pocket of his white coat.
Ning Qing quickly grabbed onto Lu Shaoming’s sleeve. “Shaoming, Mom will be angry if you go in like this.”
Lu Shaoming looked sideways at her, and his bright eyes flashed with a sharp and resolute light. “Ning Qing, do you want your mother to be angry for a little while or for a long time?”
Ning Qing pouted her pink lips and stopped talking. She released her grip.
The door of the ward cracked open. Ning Qing watched as Lu Shaoming strode in with his long legs. She grabbed the corner of his clothes and blushed.
“What’s wrong?” Lu Shaoming’s impression of Ning Qing was that she was a liberal and dignified girl. It was his first time seeing her blush without speaking, looking shy and awkward.
“Shao… ming, it’s your first time seeing Mom, talk nicely. Try to leave a good impression on my mother.”
“Ah…” So she wanted to tell him this. It wasn’t anything remotely ambiguous, why was she blus.h.i.+ng so much, her skin was thin indeed.
Lu Shaoming reached his hand out and ruffled her hair as he laughed in a low voice. “Don’t worry, leave everything to me. n.o.body will come and break us up.”
Ning Qing said nothing, she was too embarra.s.sed.
…
Yue Wanqing was leaning on her bed. She heard the door open and was about to shout at them to get out. But Dr. Luo came in and had invited someone in respectfully, a man.
Yue Wanqing had lived for so long but it was her first time seeing a handsome man with such prominent features; he was like a Greek sculpture.
And the man’s temperament was also very good, she’d attended many business events with Ning Zhenguo when she was young, she can see at a glance that this man was a highly regarded businessman. His clear and profound eyes exuded calm and steadiness from the acc.u.mulation of his rich and fulfilling life experience. His many years in a high ranking position had allowed him to remain calm and unmoving even in the face of collapsing mountains.
His gait, his every move, exuded a particular air of n.o.bility that was in his blood. He must have been born into a good family and had received a top-notch education.
