Chapter 269 - Lu Shaoming, Aren’t You Embarrassed? (1/2)

Never turn the tides?

Zhou Zhilei was so agitated by these words that she felt dizzy. She knew that she had lost here with Song Yajing; she had lost completely.

“Hah,” Zhou Zhilei sneered, “Ning Qing, let’s see who’ll win in the end.”

Zhou Zhilei helped Kong Lan along as they left.

Ning Qing stood upstairs and looked at the backs of the mother and daughter. Her autumn pupils were clear and bright. At last, Zhou Zhilei’s plans have been nipped in the bud.

Now, there was another person who “wanted to see who will win in the end” with her, but there were too many people who had told her this, so Zhou Zhilei’s words were insignificant.

At this time, her cell phone was still ringing, it was Lu Shaoming’s call.

A sweet smile flashed across Ning Qing’s lips as she pressed a b.u.t.ton to pick it up. “h.e.l.lo, Hubby.”

It must be night time over there. The man was supposed to be sleeping. His low-magnetic voice was hoa.r.s.e and enticing as he said, “Has everything been settled?”

“Yes, it’s all taken care of, Hubby. I’ve cleaned up all the smoke and pestilence in your harem for you,” Ning Qing said proudly.

The man was laughing. Where did “harem” come from? “Thank you, Wifey. You’re great.”

Ning Qing smiled so wide she couldn’t close her mouth. She covered her cell phone with her small hand. “Hubby, don’t mention it. Go back to bed. Didn’t we agree that you can just call me when it’s time; you don’t need to answer it.”

Just now, she had calculated the time and asked Lu Shaoming to call her in advance, all to pressure Song Yajing psychologically.

Lu Shaoming was not here, but he was still a deterrent.

“I was worried about you, so I wanted to hear your voice.”

Ning Qing’s eyes were bright. Her little face was red, her whole body was weak, and her bright autumn pupils swept around her. No one was there. She asked quietly, “Hubby, when will you come back?”

She shouldn’t rush a man out on business because it would make her seem not demure enough, and she didn’t want to seem clingy.

But she still wanted to ask.

The man on the other end was in a good mood and asked, “Wifey, when do you want me to go back?”

Hmph!

Why did he throw the question back at her?

“Hmm, Hubby you don’t have to rush. Work is more important.”

“Haha, why did Wifey answer so officially?” Afraid of angering her, he finally added, “I’m going back tomorrow.”

Ning Qing’s eyes rippled with joy. “Okay, Hubby, I’m waiting for you with Little Master Lu.”

…

They hung up the phone in a loving manner. Ning Qing walked to the door where Song Yingjie was locked in.

Knock Knock. She knocked on the door. “Yingjie.”

The door was locked and could not be opened. Song Yingjie stood by the door and answered, “Yes?”

“Yingjie, thank you for today. You can rest a.s.sured that mother will release you tomorrow.”

Song Yingjie was silent for a few seconds and then said, “Ning Qing, you’ve also lived like this before? As if life is a battlefield?”

“Yes.” Ning Qing nodded. “There are too many bad people who want to harm me. I need to be strong and knock them down one by one. You’ve also seen it. If I don’t knock them down, they’ll be sure to sneak up on me in the end. Yingjie, you need to be like me; you need to protect yourself and protect your happiness. Today is just the beginning. You have done a good job.

“I see.”

“Alright, Yingjie, I’ll go back now. I’ve been so tired lately that I want to sleep.” She was overdrawn physically and had been busy lately.

“Alright.”

Song Yingjie leaned against the door and listened to the girl’s footsteps. Several years later, when he stood at the peak of his power, he would often remember this scene. Today, the girl had led him to fight the first battle of his life.

…

Ning Qing returned to Tea Pavilion Villa. It was only noon now and she still needed to work. But she wanted to take half a day off because this week was too tiring. She already had dark circles under her eyes. With the baby, her energy was not as high as before.

She went back to the bedroom to take a bath, got into bed in her pajamas, looked at the two pillows on the bed, slowly moved her little head to the man’s pillow, and occupied his place.
