“Really?” Ning Qing raised her little head and looked at him ostentatiously.
She liked it when he praised her.
Lu Shaoming nodded with tender eyes. He handed her the document, which he’d been holding between two fingers since he had entered the room. “Look, this is a gift from your husband.”
“What is it?” Ning Qing opened it curiously.
Inside was the transfer of shares of Emperor Entertainment Group’s Director with a foreign surname!
“Shaoming, wasn’t this in the hands of Li Meiling? How come you have it now?” Ning Qing’s surprise was beyond replication.
Lu Shaoming held her in his arms like a little girl. “When you told me about this equity document the other day, I sent someone to investigate it. It turns out that Li Meiling had bought over the gangster boss and had set a trap for the director’s son, and got the equity document through improper means of threats and intimidation. I’ve already sent someone to settle the gangster boss. The equity document in Li Meiling’s hand was invalidated. This is the equity document signed by the director with a foreign surname, which is legitimate in the eyes of the law.”
Ning Qing instantly smiled like a blooming flower. “Great. With this equity document, I’d like to see how Ning Yao can marry into the Xu family!”
“Mmm,” Lu Shaoming answered lazily, kissing her tender little earlobe. “Wifey, I have transferred this equity document to your name. You are a major shareholder of Emperor Entertainment group now. I heard that Xu Junxi’s mom once looked down on you and was mean to you. You can hold your head high in front of her now.”
Ning Qing was startled. She looked sideways at the man. His handsome face was just inches away from her. In his narrow eyes, there was warmth and light that shone brighter than stars.
Him?
“Shaoming, I can’t accept this. It must have cost a lot of money to get this. Besides, don’t you mind the relationship between Xu Junxi and me? If I become the major shareholder of Emperor Entertainment Group, I will come into contact with him.”
Lu Shaoming reached out and pinched her delicate snow-white nose, telling her adoringly, “Little fool, my Guang Qing and Lu Corporation are all yours, let alone a mere Emperor Entertainment Group? I don’t mind you seeing Xu Junxi, because I know my wife loves me.”
He had to thank Xu Junxi for that. He had heard her confession to him in the cafe. He confession had been so naked, honest and passionate.
Ning Qing was moved. To be honest, she needed his trust and support most, so that she could bear no burden later.
Ever since they had gotten acquainted, he treated her better and better.
His words echoed in her ear. He had said that Xu Junxi’s mother was bitter and mean to her. He asked her to hold her head high. The man’s tone was so indulgent and adoring.
Mmm, the feeling of a brother and a father’s adoration had returned.
They were husband and wife, after all. If they were too polite, they would feel unacquainted. Ning Qing’s long eyelashes that were like butterflies’ wings fluttered shyly as she whispered, “Shaoming, since you gave it to me, then I shall accept it. Thank you.”
Lu Shaoming held out his two fingers and clasped the girl’s sharp jaw. He laughed and said, “Thank you? These two words are useless. If you really want to thank me, say something else.”
“You… What do you want me to say?” A light-switch was flicked on in the room. The handsome man’s face was blanketed by a charming shadow. Ning Qing’s eyes were dazzled.
“Say you love me.”
That day, she had told Xu Junxi that she loved him, that she was infatuated with scent and even his sideburns, and that since she had met him, her eyes were filled with him.
He didn’t know when she had these thoughts. He didn’t have any experience in love. He only knew that every time she was in front of him, she would be shy and her heart would thump wildly.
He knew she had feelings for him, but he didn’t know when she had fallen in love with him.
Such a shy girl, he wanted to hear her say that she loved him personally.
Ning Qing didn’t know why he had made this request. How embarrassing it was for her, being asked to confess. She had very thin skin.
It was amazing to think that she had fallen in love with him so quickly.
He felt really familiar to her, as if they had known each other very early and already had a heart-pounding moment.
Or perhaps, hatred was just like spring grass, gradually fading away and returning life. Love was also like that; when one person has turned and walked away, another person would walk towards her.
Lu Shaoming’s gaze was expectant. Ning Qing could not bear to disappoint him. “Lu Shaoming, I love you!”
Her little face was hot, and she spoke quickly.
“Haha…” Lu Shaoming was in a good mood. Whenever he saw her shy appearance, he couldn’t help but tease her. “Ning Qing, what did you just say? Speak louder.”
He had obviously heard it, but still wanted to tease her!
“Lu Shaoming, you’re annoying, go away!” Ning Qing put her two small hands on his strong shoulders and pushed him down on a big soft bed forcefully.
Lu Shaoming kept laughing. Ning Qing reached out to cover his mouth, pursed her lips, and said with her beautiful voice, “Stop laughing, stop laughing!”
Lu Shaoming enveloped her soft little palm that felt boneless and gave a loud “muah”. He lifted his sharp brow and said arrogantly, “I’m going to laugh. What can do you to me?”
The little palm that he had kissed seemed to be energized by electric currents. She retracted her hand like at the speed of lightning. The look on the man’s face when he raised his eyebrows was very charming. In her impression, she seldom saw him indulging in something so much. It was a very romantic couple’s moment.
Playfulness bubbled up in Ning Qing’s heart, and she remembered that when he punished her, he had liked to hit her little butt best. She pulled on his left shoulder with two hands and turned him over with difficulty. A small hand went up to his hip.
“Slap!” A very crisp slap sounded.
She also rode on him arrogantly. After the slap, she leaned in his ear and provoked him, “Do you dare to laugh? Laugh again and I’ll teach you a lesson.”
Lu Shaoming looked at the girl’s delicate and beautiful little face. She was all smiles. This girl was growing bolder and bolder. She had pinched his ears and slapped him in the face. Now she had even slapped him on the buttocks. He had lived for 30 years. Even his mother dared not do this to him.
“Mmm, it doesn’t hurt.” Lu Shaoming half-narrowed his eyes, grabbed the back of her head and covered her red lips. “You’re so weak, gather all your strength and make me feel pain.”
This…pervert!
He had a masochism complex for sure.
Ning Qing giggled and laughed while avoiding his kiss. He refused to let her go. His thin lips rubbed against her face and tender neck. His masculine scent was enticing her so much. Her small hands smacked his buttocks a few times. Damnit… A man’s butt could be so sexy; it could still bounce back after smacking it.
“Shaoming, Qingqing, it’s dinnertime.” They were playing around very happily.
The door was pushed open, and beside it stood Yue Wanqing and Auntie Zhang.
The two people in the room stilled, and for a moment, the four of them just stared at each other.
Ning Qing: May I die first?
She looked so indecent at that moment, putting aside the fact that she was sitting on the man, her little hand was placed on his butt, an absolute image of a dominant female boss.
Yue Wanqing and Auntie Zhang, who are nearly 50 years old, blushed in the doorway. Never have they seen a couple fooling around like that in their room. Most improper, most improper!
Yue Wanqing coughed softly and scolded, “Qingqing, what are you doing? How can a woman ride on a man, and you, you…” Yue Wanqing was too embarrassed to tell her daughter about her spanking her son-in-law. Her son-in-law was a big president and of his status was noble. But she hadn’t thought that he would be bullied like this by her daughter at home.
It was unbelievable.
Ning Qing was speechless. Compared with her embarrassment, Lu Shaoming was calm and composed. He straightened up and sat Ning Qing down beside him while holding her in his arms. “Mom, it’s okay, it’s just for fun. Are we going to have dinner now? Let’s go downstairs.”
Grandma had already had her dinner upstairs and had gone to bed early. The family of three sat at the table for dinner.
Yue Wanqing felt it was necessary to remind the young couple. She said, “Shaoming, you can’t spoil Qingqing too much in the future. The most important thing for a wife and mother is to be gentle and virtuous. The more you spoil her, the more demanding she would be.”
Ning Qing choked on the rice in her mouth. Her mother just had to bring that up right now. “Ahem, ahem…” She coughed twice violently.
Lu Shaoming reached out and patted her on the back while handing her a glass of water with another hand. “Eat slowly. Is it uncomfortable? Drink some water.”
Ning Qing sat up. She had a hand on her chest but did not accept a cup. She just drank two mouthfuls of water from Shaoming’s hand.
Yue Wanqing looked at her daughter’s immature appearance and Lu Shaoming’s indulgence in giving her daughter water. She even sighed that it was her fault as a parent to have raised her but not taught her. Back then, when she had entered the gates of the Ning family. Grandma had given her the most traditional feminine education. She had been married to Ning Zhenguo for more than 20 years, and she hadn’t even spoken loudly once.
She also did not know how she should discipline Qingqing.
She heard that the Lu family was a rich family. She had not met this family-in-law yet, and didn’t know if they would like or dislike her spoilt daughter.
When Ning Qing stopped coughing, Lu Shaoming put down his cup and looked at Yue Wanqing, gently saying, “Mom, I married my wife to dote on her. It doesn’t matter if Qingqing is a little spoilt. I can afford to spoil her.”
Yue Wanqing couldn’t say anything anymore. In family conflicts, the attitude of the man was the most important. Her son-in-law was good to her daughter. She nodded her head with gratification and satisfaction in her heart.
Lu Shaoming’s words made Ning Qing very happy and touched. Before, she hadn’t noticed what a sweet talker he was. Now, the more he spoke, the smoother he became. Indeed, she had to cultivate her own husband herself.
Ning Qing quietly picked up a stick of celery and quickly threw it into Lu Shaoming’s bowl as a reward.
Lu Shaoming looked sideways at the girl and ate the celery with a smile on his lips.
Auntie Zhang looked at the couple’s sweet interaction. She smiled and said, “Madam, I think the relationship between Mister and Missus is so good. Why don’t we cook some soup tomorrow to nourish Mister’s body? While the Missus is still young, she can give birth to a fat grandson and allow you and Old Madam to embrace him as soon as possible.”
Yue Wanqing agreed right away; having a child is a major life goal, they needed to hurry up and start while they were young.
“Shaoming, what kind of soup do you like to drink? Eel soup, sea cucumber soup, or shall I stew some ox penis soup tomorrow?” Yue Wanqing asked.
Ning Qing choked again. What soup are they talking about, they hadn’t even consummated yet.
Did mom and Auntie Zhang ever consider their feelings when they were discussing the couple so openly and honestly?
Ning Qing glanced at Lu Shaoming. The man’s mouth was hooked in a smile. It seems that he doesn’t disapprove.
She gave him a good kick under the table.
Lu Shaoming knew that his little wife was shy again. He looked up and said, “Mom, we are still young. It’s not good for us to drink these soups too early.”
When Ning Qing saw her mother nodding, she was secretly impressed. Every word this man said was reasonable and convincing.
Ning Qing took a small bite of rice at ease, but then she heard the man slowly and leisurely saying, “Mom, besides, I sleep in my study every night nowadays. Qingqing does not let me go back to my room.” The man’s tone became very apologetic. “So it may be a long time before Mom can hold her grandson.”
What?
What did Lu Shaoming just say?
“You!” Ning Qing shook with anger. He was the one who had promised to sleep in the guest room. How did he have the face to tell her mother about it on the dinner table, making himself look like the victim.
He was too insidious, too cunning.
Despicable man!
“Qingqing, what’s the meaning of this?” When Ning Qing was about to fly into a rage, Yue Wanqing rushed ahead. She placed down her chopsticks heavily and looked at Ning Qing sternly. “How can you be so mischievous? How can a newly married couple sleep in separate rooms? Besides, Shaoming is so kind to you. Why don’t you know how to cherish him? Let Shaoming go back to the room tonight. Mom will make a surprise check.”
Surprise check?
Ning Qing: …Lu. Shao. Ming!
Ning Qing returned to the room angrily as she scolded Lu Shaoming thousands of times in her heart.
She wanted to lock the door so that he could not come in, but she was afraid that they would cause a scene. If her mother were to know about it, she would scold her again.
After contemplating, she didn’t lock the door again. She decided that she would teach him a lesson when he came in. She took the pillow from the bed and hugged it.
Lu Shaoming did not return to his room even after she had waited for more than an hour. He was probably working in the study. Ning Qing grew drowsy while she waited and fell asleep gradually.
When Lu Shaoming came into the room, he saw the girl lying in the big white bed. The little tender ball was curled up in bed, and looked very cute. The little bear slept beside her, and she held a pillow in her arms.
“Why don’t you cover yourself with a blanket when you sleep?” Lu Shaoming went over, propped a knee on the bed, and reached out to pull the blankets over her.
He also tugged the pillow in the girl’s arms.
The sleeping girl held onto the pillow and didn’t let go. Her pink cherry mouth muttered discontentedly as she called out, “Bad man, hmph, I’m going to throw the pillow at you!”
Lu Shaoming laughed out loud. He looked down and kissed her on the forehead. He murmured in a low voice, “Fool, do you think I’m so stupid, I knew you were going to hit me. So I had deliberately worked so late then returned to the room. It’s called taking evasive action. Your husband has taught you another trick. I’m increasing your knowledge. Do you know that, huh?”
The girl sleeping in bed did not respond. There was a bright spot on her beautiful lips. She was already a 20-year-old girl but still drooled when she slept.
Lu Shaoming reached out his rough fingers and wanted to help her wipe it away, but when his finger touched the corner of her lip, he stopped. He leaned over slowly and kissed the shining spot.
Even the saliva of the tender girl was sweet.
Feeling someone kiss her, Ning Qing opened her sleepy eyes. She pushed the pillow into the man’s arms and pushed him away. She hummed and hawed, “Bad man, what did you just do?”
Lu Shaoming looked at the little girl who could barely open her eyes. His ears were a little red. His head felt hot just now and didn’t know what had come over him!
Kissed her drool?
It was too obscene.
His upbringing did not warrant this sort of behavior!
Lu Shaoming stood up straight, took a deep breath, and went to the bathroom to take a bath.
