My Dangerous Billionaire Husband - Chapter 132
Chapter 132: I Love You, Dear
Lu Shaoming ate the food from her hand
“Hubby, is it delicious?” she asked with a smile.
Lu Shaoming’s handsome face frowned slightly. Whenever this man was eating, his manners were too refined, he would not make a sound, he gave his honest opinion. “It’s acceptable.”
After hearing what he thought, she smiled brightly. This was unfair for the owner of the rice intestine shop.
They ate the rice-stuffed sausage together. Ning Qing ordered some common desserts, like some crispy biscuits, assuming that they could fill him up.
This man was well behaved. Whatever Ning Qing fed him, he would eat without hesitation. They behaved like an ordinary couple, experiencing the most ordinary kind of happiness.
After eating till they were 80% full, Ning Qing’s happy feelings were evident on her face. “Shaoming, you stand here and wait for me to return. I am going to get a cup of milk tea; I have to get in line.”
Lu Shaoming glanced at the line, which was a herd of girls, and he did not object. He let go of her and saw her walk with a spring in her step, like a chirpy bird, to get in line.
She was in line to buy a cup of milk tea for around 6 to 7 minutes. She turned around and walked swiftly back to the spot, but the man was no longer there.
Ning Qing was shocked, she went on her tiptoes and looked around frantically. “Hubby… Shaoming, Lu Shaoming!”
She took two steps forward to continue searching. Suddenly a pair of hands came from nowhere. The hands blocked her mouth and dragged her to a secluded alleyway.
There was no one in sight.
Ning Qing’s heart was beating frantically, she could smell the scent of the man blocking her mouth. It was his signature scent, like crisp forestry dew. She was deeply enchanted by him.
“Shaoming, what are you doing?” She was pushed against the wall, with him pressing against her. He did not keep a gentlemanly distance and was incredibly close.
He buried his head into her neck, smelling the fragrance of her body.
Ning Qing nervously held on to the cup of milk tea. It was crowded outside, and he brought her to this secluded area. The adrenaline of being seen, his cold and hard hair brushing on her soft skin; these feelings became a wave of warmth that travelled through her body.
Oh, the sky has become dark. it was around 8 o’ clock.
It was time for bed.
“Why did you only buy one cup?” he asked suddenly.
Ning Qing stepped backwards, her gentle voice started stuttering, “I, I can’t finish the drink. Don’t waste money; we can finish a cup together.”
“Ha.” In the dark, his calloused fingers touched her red lips. With a low laugh, he said, “Dear, I ate your saliva for the entire night. Dinner should be finished right? let’s go home to complete the main event.”
Ning Qing was shy and batted her long lashes in a fluster. She did not retaliate. She did not want to, but she thought of something.
Her pale hand followed the ends of his coat. Biting her red lips, she said in a coy tone in an attempt to negotiate with him, “Hubby, I… I don’t want to be pregnant for the time being. Can we, can we…?”
Contraceptives.
Lu Shaoming distanced himself from her slightly. Using two hands to cup her hot face, he could not see her expression clearly. Based solely on her girly tone, he could not control himself much longer.
“Um, I understand. You are too young now, and have yet to graduate, and you’re still in the beginning of your career. No hurry. Everything will go according to your wishes. We can enjoy some time alone first, then think about children later.”
Ning Qing did not think he would agree so easily. She happily inched forward and gave a loud peck on the sides of his lips, “Thank you, hubby.”
“Umm…. I remember your period ended two days ago. We should be safe now. I can do as I like.”
Ning Qing froze for a second and felt her entire body go hot.”….”
“However I will prepare the contraceptives, in case of an emergency. Wifey, trust me with everything. I will protect you well, all of you.”
Ning Qing.”…” Her legs went limp and she directly slumped into Lu Shaoming’s embrace.
…
While Lu Shaoming brought Ning Qing back to the Tea Pavilion villa, Xu Junxi had spent one entire day and night in the bar.
There were many bottles scattered in front of him. His premium trousers were crumpled. He leaned on the bar and closed his eyes. He felt confused.
Right then, a lady came up to him. “Xu Junxi, I heard from Xiao Yuan that you were here, I am Ning Qing’s roommate. I went home previously and when I returned, she moved out of the dorms. These are two gifts that she left behind. I thought since she did not want them anymore, I could pass them to the recipient she originally intended to give them to.”
“Present?” Xu Junxi lifted his gaze and saw the exquisite bag, “This was what Ning Qing intended to give…me?”
“That’s right,” the girl placed the bag onto the counter, and took out two gifts. “This was from 2 years ago. She intended to give them to you for your birthday. It’s a keychain.”
Xu Junxi placed the keychain in his palm. The keychain was made out of gold which matched a man’s dominance. It had 3 crystal beads hanging from it, and it was extremely elegant.
“Xu Junxi, don’t underestimate this small item. It was handmade by Ning Qing herself. She ran all around to many manufactures to make this keychain, and it has your name carved on it.
“Also, this is a scarf that Ning Qing knitted herself to celebrate your birthday. She said that you look best in cool colours, so she used this light blue. Girls are always willing to knit something for their boyfriends. This shows how she felt towards you.”
Xu Junxi placed the scarf against his cheeks with shaking hands. The soft wool was warm. He closed his bloodshot eyes, let out a low grunt, and said, “Then why did she not give it to me?”
“You have to ask yourself for this. On those two birthdays, you were overseas. Ning Qing searched all over and could not locate you. She said there was no need to gift you after your birthday had passed. Actually, she even thought of this year’s present, only out of pity…”
Xu Junxi strained his eyebrows painfully. Those few birthdays, he’d been in America. Now he celebrates them today.
He finally knew, he had ignored the feelings that she once had for him.
“Xu Junxi, I heard about the things that happened to Ning Qing. As her friend, I am really happy for her. She got the Best Actress accolade. There is Lu Shaoming by her side protecting her. She must be really happy now.
“Xu Junxi, you let her down in this relationship. Since you both are unable to accompany one another to the end, then please wish her happiness. She is worthy of more.”
Xu Junxi bit his chapped lips, wish her happiness?
He was not willing.
She had once belonged to him.
“No!” Xu Junxi let out a low bellow. His hands were gripped tightly on the keychain and scarf. He furiously dashed through the doors of the hotel. The cold blowing wind could not stop his wild steps. He weaved wildly through the shining lights of the night. He only had a single thought. He wanted to find Ning Qing.
…
In the villa.
Ning Qing went to wash up. She chose to take a quick shower, because when the man gave her sleepwear, he told her that he was going downstairs to shower, and asked her not to take too long.
However she still took a long time. She used the towel to wipe away the beads of water on her body, and she changed into a crimson red set of pajamas.
The narrow straps were on her pale and fragrant shoulders. The portion at the waist was tight, highlighting her slim waist. Her black shining hair flowed naturally over her shoulders.
After ensuring she was perfect, Ning Qing took a deep breath and opened the door to walk out.
She froze after she walked out. In the large bedroom, the carpet and window sills were filled with red candles. The snowy white bed had a sea of layered heart shaped roses; it was extremely romantic.
The scene had been starkly different before she went to bathe. He purposely gave Auntie Yang a day off today; there was no one on hand to prepare this. Could it be that he did all this personally?
He knew how to do this?
Or did he not know, but he learned especially for her?
Ning Qing was touched. She looked sideways, and the man was standing by the counter. With a collector’s bottle of red wine in his hands, he was pouring the contents into two wine glasses.
Sensing her arrival, he slowly lifted his gaze.
This was her first time seeing him in a maroon shirt. It had flowing patterns on it, which brought out his handsome aura even more.
His manly collar bones were peeking through the collar. The first four buttons were not fastened. His abs could be seen through the shirt. He matched it with a pair of black casual pants. He did not tuck his shirt into his pants, and he looked lazy with a hint of deadly sexiness.
Ning Qing felt like she was stepping on clouds.
What was he doing?
“You are done showering? Come over!” He looked down on her red dress, just like a begonia after the rain. His eyes darkened.
Ning Qing shyly fluttered her lashes. She bit her teeth and approached him.
After walking to him, he gave her a glass of red wine. “I heard that girls like it like this. There was nothing much to do in the office today. I asked them to prepare the materials, and even rehearsed once in the office. I was in a rush today. Wifey, are you still satisfied?”
He’d already done all this, and was coming to ask if she was satisfied.
She was, she was extremely satisfied!
“Um, it is okay but you still have room for improvement. You will have to work hard from now on.” Her sweet voice filled the air, she could not allow him to become arrogant.
“Sure, as long as wifey is willing act like we’re newlyweds every night,” he said in a low tone.
Ning Qing instantly blushed, and she was hot.
Lu Shaoming snapped his fingers. Every corner of the room echoed the sound of music. It was a soothing and romantic French melody.
He stepped forward. With one hand in his pocket, another on the wine glass, he said, “Ma cherie, cheers to us being newlyweds!”
Ning Qing wanted to cover her ears, he had to use French in front of her without any reason. He spoke French with an authentic pronunciation; she felt her legs go soft.
She lifted her head and had a sip of red wine.
The red wine had a great taste. She was greedy, and drank the entire glass in a single gulp.
She needed to put on a brave front tonight.
Lu Shaoming took the glass from her hands and used his muscular arms to scoop her tiny waist. He had a special penchant for her waist. It was slim and soft.
Ning Qing’s cheeks were burning red. Her small hands grabbed onto his maroon shirt nervously, and she buried her head into his embrace that had the scent of the shower, and asked, “Shaoming, are we starting?”
Lu Shaoming kissed her cheek tenderly, comforting her nervous emotions. “Not yet, dear. Let us have a dance first.”
“Sure.” Dancing was her forte, she was confident in many styles of dance. “What kind of dance are we gonna do?”
Lu Shaoming used one hand to embrace her into his arms. He guided her with his movements, with one finger playing with her hair. After a while, he had intertwined her hair in his fingers. He kissed her closely, and she looked into his eyes. One peck after another came, but he did not go further. “Doesn’t matter, whatever style you like to dance to; waltz, tango…anything is fine…”
Ning Qing wanted to faint with his kisses. He was too tiring. He was only pecking her lips, but his aura penetrated her delicate skin. Her lips tasted all of him, and the faint scent of aromatic wine was making her drunk.
3 years ago, she did not dare think that she would have such a day with him.
The duo did not know what sort of dance they were doing. Dancing was her forte, but she kept stepping on his feet. She was in a stupor when she heard him say, “Wifey, you smell so good.”
Ning Qing stumbled for a moment, she used her hands to block his mouth and stubbornly kicked the slippers off her feet. She placed her pale feet onto his shoes. Tiptoeing to embrace his head, she did not know what she wanted, and could only use her face to caress his sideburns. “Enough, Shaoming. Don’t speak. Don’t speak anymore. Lu Shaoming, how come you are so bad? You are doing this on purpose. You are doing this intentionally, seducing me like this.”
Lu Shaoming panted. He took a few steps back, and the two fell onto the soft bed.
Ning Qing was crushed. Her two hands gripped onto the bedsheets in fear. Her hands were cold. Her hands held a bunch of rose petals, and their stained the sheets. Fragrance filled the room.
“Wifey…” Lu Shaoming kissed her, and his usual deep, hoarse voice broke out into a light melody; it was a line from a French song.
Ning Qing froze, was he singing?
A man like him was actually singing!
Ning Qing could not take it anymore, he was bullying her because she could not understand French!
French was said to be the most beautiful language in the world. She was only exposed to it on television. It was hard for a Chinese person to master the language, it was just like a tongue twister.
But he was not affected. He was as fluent in French as a Parisian on the street. He hummed languidly with a jazzy tone. He sounded regal.
She did imagine during her university days, her future partner to be gentlemanly and extremely talented. He fulfilled all her fantasies and gave her everything.
She was really lucky to have such a stunning man.
She wanted to faint. Her soft lips searched for his thin lips but he escaped from her. She murmured in a blur. She was uncomfortable and on the brink of crying.
When she regained some sense, she heard him say, “Wifey, you saved me 3 years ago. You were clean, beautiful, and extremely quick witted. I fell in love with you at that moment. I could not forget you for a moment over these past 3 years. Wifey, hand yourself to me. I love you. I love you.”
Ning Qing’s eyes were focused on the crystal chandelier. HIn her mind, she was replaying it all like a movie, screening every significant moment in the relationship.
3 years ago, at their chance meeting without any forewarning, he asked her name. She replied saying her name was Ning Qing, with Qing meaning “unrivalled beauty.”
The gaze that he gave her when he was leaving… Those mesmerizing eyes caused her to enter a trance, and she had feelings for him.
3 years later, when she was being harassed by someone at the bar, she bumped into his embrace. She was drugged by someone in her room, and she’d forced her way into his bathroom. Such mysterious and fated meetings and continued interactions… He embraced her and rolled onto the bed, but did not want her. He only told her not to lose herself.
After that, he assisted her. He paved a road for her in the entertainment industry. He accompanied her during her mother’s surgery. Every time she fought with Ning Yao and Li Meiling, he stood by her silently.
He protected her during her growth. He gave her the thickest pair of feathered wings, to cushion herself and not allow her to feel any pain.
He treated her just like a brother would, just like a father would.
Also, just like a husband should.
