…

After she’d closed the door, Ning Qing took a set of pajamas and went to the bathroom to take a bath. After taking a bath, she sat beside the bed, drying her hair and stirring the ice cream, which had turned thick after boiling, with a small spoon.

She took a bite of the ice cream with a small spoon.

Wow, it tasted great!

Sweet agar had been added to the red beans, while fresh cream had been added to the matcha ice cream, and the mellow taste of chocolate made it simply delicious.

Ning Qing took one taste and suddenly thought of the man who was still working in the study.

Should she go and see him?

Good things were meant to be shared.

Forget it, she’d better not. He’d only be distracted if she were to go to him like this. Besides, she couldn’t just feed him with the little spoon if she were to go there.

It was too mushy!

Ning Qing shook her head. She’d better go to bed early after finis.h.i.+ng her ice cream. She had to wake up early and fly to Shanghai with the crew for a shoot tomorrow, and she could not be late.

…

The next morning, with an “Ah”, a scream could be heard from the bedroom. Ning Qing sat on the bed and looked at the alarm clock on her bedside table in horror. Yikes! It was already 7 o’clock!

The plane was going take off at 7:30!

It would take about 20 minutes to get to the airport, not counting the traffic jam.

Why had she slept like a log?

Ning Qing quickly jumped out of bed and ran down in her pink slippers. She wondered if Lu Shaoming had gone to the company. She did not have time to take a taxi and needed him to give her a ride.

She opened the door to the second bedroom. The door was unlocked so she ran straight in. “Lu Shaoming, Shaoming…” The bed was empty and n.o.body was there.

Ning Qing’s heart had almost sunk into the bottom of her chest, but she didn’t give up. She rushed into the bathroom upon seeing that the bathroom door was half open. “Lu Shaoming…Ah!”

Ning Qing screamed and quickly covered her face and eyes with her two small hands.

He, he, he was wearing a grey silk nightgown and standing by the toilet, holding his…with one hand while relieving himself.

Ning Qing had seen one for the first time in her life; she wanted nothing more than for the floor to swallow her up.

She screamed for a few times again. “Ah, ah, ah!” She was going to develop a sty in her eye.

The sound of running water reverberated through her ears, the man was was.h.i.+ng his hands after he’d flushed, and heard the girl scream “ah” endlessly. He opened his mouth, and said with a rich and deep voice tinged with post-wake-up hoa.r.s.eness, “Stop it, stop acting as if you’d been mistreated after getting such a bargain!”

What? A bargain?

Ning Qing was so emotionally agitated that she could not refute him. She bolted out of the door with her thin legs. She sobbed. She was never going to speak to him again!

Lu Shaoming watched as the girl went, awkwardness emanated from his clear eyes and jet black eyebrows, and his handsome face was a little red.

Not only was it her first time seeing it, but it was also his first time being seen as well.

…

Ning Qing had changed her clothes after was.h.i.+ng up and Lu Shaoming happened to be going out as well. He was handsome and suave in his custom Armani white b.u.t.ton up s.h.i.+rt and black pants.

Ning Qing tried hard to forget that scene. After a couple of deep breathes, she flashed a sweet smile and said, “Good morning.” My plane’s going to take off at 7:30 and I’m in a hurry. Can you give me a lift?”

“Okay, let’s go.” Lu Shaoming nodded as he responded.

Ning Qing was walking ahead. Lu Shaoming watched as the girl walked down the stairs. She was wearing a light linen Korean style double-breasted overcoat with a V-neck silk white s.h.i.+rt today, revealing her delicate and beautiful collarbone.

Nude colored stockings caused her legs to look straight and slender. With a pair of black boots on her feet and a delicate yellow handbag in her hand, she gave off a strong youthful trendy vibe.

She also had some light makeup on her face. There was red lipstick on her beautiful rhombus lips, and her skin was smooth and fair. She was stunning.

He had ordered the clothes, but she’d paired the clothes according to her taste. He hadn’t misjudged her. She was a smart little woman who knew how to showcase her beauty.

Lu Shaoming’s Adam’s apple bobbed.

“Sir, madam, you’re up. Come and have breakfast.” Auntie Zhang brought their breakfast to the long table.

“I’m late.”

“Eat your breakfast first. I promise to get you there by 7:30.” Lu Shaoming took her by her hand and led her to the table.

Ning Qing looked down at his big hand holding her small hand, and her small face turned red again.

…

Sure enough, Lu Shaoming hadn’t lied. He arrived with Ning Qing at the airport gate at 7:25.

“Shaoming, thank you. I’m going now.” Ning Qing reached out her hand to unfasten her seat belt.

But he reached over and unbuckled her seatbelt for her before she could. How thoughtful. As Lu Shaoming’s tall and straight body came closer, his charming manly scent instantly filled her nostrils. The man told her softly, “Ning Qing, call me if you encounter any difficulties at work.”

Ning Qing turned sideways in order to avoid his enticing scent, and said, “Shaoming, due to family strife, I have formed a feud with Ning Yao, her mother, and Xu Junxi. Although we’re married and I also know that you are very strong, I want to settle my problems myself. I want to retain my independence in this marriage. If I were to depend on you for everything, I would not be any different from a caged canary.”

Lu Shaoming listened and looked up. He reached out and pinched her little cheeks twice as he laughed dotingly. “I know, I will respect you, and I will not interfere.”

She was only 21 years old and her life had just started. A good lover was one who would allow her to develop on her own, under his wing. He would be responsible for escorting and protecting her while she grew up slowly.

After her seat belt had been unfastened, Ning Qing had one last thing to say. “Shaoming, I’m really going. Bye-bye.” Ning Qing opened the door.

As one of her foot landed on the pavement, she heard the man behind her ask with a slightly jocular smile, “Ning Qing, what did you see in the bathroom this morning?”

Ning Qing seemed to have been stunned by an electric shock as her other foot jumped out from the car. She stood firmly, her pink face flushed as she said, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone that you have a little birdie.”

Bang!

Ning Qing quickly slammed the door shut and jogged into the airport as if someone were chasing her.

Little birdie?

Lu Shaoming’s face was a little dark. He’ll show her the power of the “little birdie” one day!
