“Mum, we have to believe in Shao Ming. I believe that in these seven days, Dad will definitely be able to find Shaoming…” As Ning Qing spoke, she paused for a moment and continued, “If he isn’t able to locate him within seven days, all the more reason we cannot give up and feel depressed. Dad and Shaoming need more time, and we have a more serious battle to fight.”

“Agreed.” Song Yajing nodded her head, and she picked Little Young Master Lu even higher up. She stretched out her hand to tease his small face saying, “Little Young Master Lu, do you miss your daddy? Daddy will be home very quickly.”

Little Young Master Lu was not red and wrinkly like when he was first born. He had become fairer, and his skin resembled Ning Qing’s; it was creamy white like milk.

He opened his big eyes wide, and looked around his surroundings as he lie nestled in his own grandmother’s arms. He heard his grandmother speaking, and he opened his little mouth, gurgling with laughter. “Gege…”

Ning Qing and Song Yajing both immediately broke out into a smile. The baby, who had yet to grow up, was really the most adorable angel on earth. He was able to make anyone forget their troubles at once.

Ning Qing stretched out her hand to embrace Little Young Master Lu. “Little Young Master Lu, you must be missing your daddy right? Daddy is definitely missing our Little Young Master Lu also. Daddy will be back very quickly. When he left, he left behind a message. He asked us to wait for him. Daddy would not lie to us. He has never gone back on his word before,” she said with a gentle voice.

Little Young Master Lu heard his Mama’s voice. One of his tiny hands was flailing around all over, and his big bright grape like eyes looked outside the French widows. It was like he was saying that he wanted to go out to play.

“Little Young Master Lu, are you thinking of going outside for some fresh air? Mama will carry you outside to play for a moment.” Ning Qing looked towards Song Yajing and said, “Mum, I will carry Little Young Master Lu outside to play for a while.”

“Sure.” Song Yajing stretched out her hand to grab the wool coat on the sofa, and she placed it onto Ning Qing’s shoulders. “Qingqing, it is cold outside. Wrap Little Young Master Lu up tight. You also should put on more clothes; do not catch a cold,” she reminded.

“Okay.” Ning Qing nodded her head and said, “Thank you, Mum.”

Song Yajing looked through the French windows to look at the reflection of the mother and son leaving. Her eyes were moist. At this moment, the butler came over and handed a piece of paper to her. “Madam, don’t be upset.”

Song Yajing breathed through her nose, and said with a choked voice, “At that time when I just met Ning Qing, I was still not satisfied and didn’t like her, but she didn’t cry. She faced off against those vultures graciously. She had a smile on her face when she comforted me, and she tried her best to take care of Little Young Master Lu. She is so strong, and she makes me pity her greatly…”

The butler also looked outside the French windows. Madam was carrying little Young Master, standing beside the flower garden. There were plum blossoms that had bloomed. She plucked one plum blossom to place in Little Young Master Lu’s small hands. Her side profile was covered with her hair falling over her gentle small face. Even if they couldn’t hear her, they knew that she was conversing softly with Little Young Master Lu.

“That’s right, Madam is resilient. Even if she were depressed inside her heart, she would not express it on the outside. Young Master has met with an accident, and she wants to give everyone strength. She wants to hold onto this home. So, Lady, you should also not cry. If Madam sees you like this, she would feel obligated to come comfort you.”

“Okay, I won’t cry anymore.” Song Yajing wiped her tears, and continued, “I also believe that, Shaoming will definitely return home safely.”

…

They waited for six days, and there was no news from Lu Dinghua’s side.

The entire Lu family were enveloped with a sadness that could not be expressed in words. Rain came pouring down in the middle of the winter as the weather got colder, and it became chilly and frosty.

Ning Qing did not have much of an expression on her face. She ate and slept as usual. She had to take care of Little Young Master Lu, and she could not collapse; she would not allow herself to collapse.

The only comfort through all of this was that Yue Wanqing’s kidney illness did not worsen. Ning Qing went to the hospital a few times. Jian Han had already contacted her professor in the United Kingdom to a.s.sist in the treatment of her mother, and the results of the treatments were very positive.

Jian Han spent all her time taking care of Ning Qing’s mother; she was not distracted by the matters in the hospital. She was able to give her full of energy to help Yue Wanqing.

No matter how hard the situation at hand was, everyone’s gathered efforts made quite the formidable force, and Ning Qing was especially thankful for that.

One morning, the Lu family welcomed a guest in.

The maids opened the main doors, and Yin Shuiling’s hands were full of bags as she walked in. “Ning Qing”

At that moment, Ning Qing was coming downstairs. She saw Yin Shuiling come, and she quickly ran forward. “Shuiling, why are you here? Aren’t you in Sanya on vacation?” she asked, surprised.

In this span of a year, much has happened between Yin Muchen and Yin Shuiling. They broke up, and Yin Muchen announced to the ma.s.ses that he was about to get married. He would have a huge wedding at the end of the year.

Yin Muchen was going to get married, but the bride was not Yin Shuiling, and it was fated that it would never be Yin Shuiling.

Yin Shuiling rolled her eyes at Ning Qing and said, “Ning Qing, can we even continue being good friends now? How come you didn’t even tell me what was going on when such a huge matter occurred? Do you think I am sincere enough? I sped over from Sanya to accompany you. I can’t help you find him, but I bought ingredients. Empty out your kitchen for me in the afternoon. I will cook personally, and in the future, you can rest a.s.sured and leave your stomach to me.”

Ning Qing had a sincere smile — the first in a long time. She went forward to embrace Yin Shuiling, and she nudged her on the shoulder. “Shuiling, you treat me so dearly.”

Yin Shuiling caressed her small head and said, “That’s enough, don’t be sappy here. You are a mother now.”

At this moment, Song Yajing came down from upstairs, and she had Little Young Master Lu in her arms. Although they were at odds during the Ou family’s charity gala, she had a smile on her face when she saw Yin Shuiling. “How are you, Miss Yin?”

Yin Shuiling lifted her head to look at Song Yajing and replied, “Aunt, I’ve come to stay at your house for two days. You would not chase me out because of the matters that occurred at the charity gala, right?”

Song Yajing smiled benevolently, and said,” It was my fault at the charity gala. How could I chase Miss Yin out of the house? It is great that Miss Yin is here now. Qingqing has not been in the best of spirits these past few days. She is under great stress. With you accompanying her now, I am relieved.”

The trio broke out into a smile.

The helper came forward to help take the bags from Yin Shuiling’s hands. Yin Shuiling went to carry Little Young Master Lu and said, “Ning Qing, is this my G.o.dson? He is only 2 months old now, but he is already so handsome. When he grows older, how many young girls is he going to mesmerize?”
