My Dangerous Billionaire Husband - Chapter 168
Chapter 168: Shaoming, Don’t Leave Me, Okay?
After having her meal, Ning Qing went back the room that Mu Yunfan had prepared for her. She first went to the bathroom to take a shower, washing away the bad luck off her body, and then went onto the bed. The blanket was soft and fragrant, she snuggled herself into the blanket and she shut her eyes comfortably.
She didn’t think of anything, because she had understood it all. Now, what all needed to do was conserve her energy.
…
Ning Qing fell asleep quickly. When she awoke, it was already dusk. Mu Yunfan was seated by her beside. She did not know when he had come, and he was using his huge hand to caress her small face. “Qingqing, you are awake.”
Ning Qing nodded her head and she didn’t show any unhappiness on her face. She was staying in his villa, could she still chide him for entering her room without warning? Ning Qing wordlessly looked to the side. She looked out of the window and avoided his hands. She covered her mouth to stifle a yawn and said lazily, “Brother Yunfan, is there news from Shaoming?”
“There is.” Mu Yunfan withdrew his hand and nodded his head. “He will be attending a celebratory birthday banquet for the seniors of the Ge family, I will bring you there.”
“Banquet?” Ning Qing’s eyes brightened and she asked, “Then wont I have to wear an evening gown? Brother Yunfan, did you prepare any clothes for me?”
After a few minutes, a row of evening gowns was presented to Ning Qing. Mu Yunfan smiled with a pampering gaze at her and asked, “Which one do you like? You pick it yourself.”
“Thank you, Brother Yun Fan.” Ning Qing excitedly picked a short black dress with a deep V neckline and said, “How about this one?”
Mu Yunfan frowned and was puzzled; this evening gown was not Ning Qing’s usual elegant style. Although it was clean and simple, it was also very sexy. “It only matters if Qingqing likes it, go change into it in the changing room.”
Two minutes later, Ning Qing walked out. The black dress highlighted her perfect figure. The waist was drawn in to emphasize her small 53cm waist, her butt perky and straight, her slim legs straight and tight, having the radiance of a young fine jade. Every time she took a step, it would keep a man’s eyes on her.
This dress was the favourite style of the women in the entertainment industry, but Ning Qing had a different vibe of attractiveness without losing her touch of elegance and mightiness. Mu Yunfan looked at her twice and instinctively straightened his waist and back. Ning Qing twirled around twice and asked him playfully, blinking her eyes, “Brother Yunfan, am I pretty?”
“Beautiful.” Mu Yunfan’s tone was a little hoarse. Ning Qing sat in front of the dressing table and took the curling iron to curl her locks. Laughing cheekily, she said, “Since I started school, I feel that I have been so bored for so long. I already forgot how attending a banquet feels, I am a little nervous.”
Mu Yunfan walked to her back and used the mirror to look at her delicate and perfect small face. The look in his eyes darkened again. “There’s no need to be nervous, because Qingqing will definitely be the most beautiful woman tonight.”
“Is that right? Thank you, Brother Yunfan, for your praise.”
…
At the banquet.
Ning Qing held onto Mu Yunfan’s elbow and walked into the banquet hall. Once she made her appearance, everyone in the hall had their attention on her. Ning Qing did not feel weird. Although Lu Shaoming controlled the spread of the news, everyone was aware of what happened to Ning Yao, she was the main headline now. Although everyone had different attitudes towards her, other women wondered – Is that Ning Qing? She still has the guts to show her face? The men thought otherwise – Wow, she is so stunningly pretty, no wonder she is an evil cunning beauty!
Ning Qing smiled. She did not take others’ opinions about her to heart. Mu Yunfan brought her forward to congratulate the birthday boy tonight, and then she started to search for Lu Shaoming’s figure in the crowd. She found him soon after her first glance. He was dressed in a black suit, standing underneath the crystal chandelier in the middle of the hall. A few men in suits were conversing with him and smiling. He did not speak. One hand was in his pocket, and another held a wine glass which he lightly sipped. His elegant and down to earth behaviour was making others respect and admire him. Ning Qing was in a little blur looking at him.
By Lu Shaoming’s side was a beautiful woman dressed in a long lilac dress. Ning Qing found her familiar, recalling that she was the Ye Ting, who graduated from Harvard. She stood by Lu Shaoming’s side and matched him well. The pair consisted of a talented man and a beautiful woman.
Hmm. Ning Qing admitted, she felt uncomfortable looking on. She was jealous. Ye Ting bent down and whispered into Lu Shaoming’s ear. He looked sideways to listen and gave Ning Qing to look at his sculptured and mesmerizing back-view. Maybe her stare was too piercing. As if telepathy were at play, Ning Qing turned around to look. Their gazes met. At the man’s first glance, he looked at what she was wearing. On top of her black dress, there was a red silk scarf and the bottom of her scarf hooked onto her neck. The lights in the hall were shining brightly and highlighted her curled locks. She was beyond mesmerizing and would make even the finest pearls pale in comparison. He frowned and wasn’t too happy. Ning Qing was in a good mood. She slowly curled her lips and flashed him a bright smile.
At this moment, “Qingqing.” Mu Yunfan walked to her side and stretched out his hand to cup her shoulders. Mu Yunfan looked towards Lu Shaoming. Ning Qing did not show any signs of wanting to struggle from Mu Yunfan’s embrace. On the contrary, she stretched out her pale hand to grab onto Mu Yunfan’s sleeve and said in a coy tone, “Brother Yun Fan, look! Shaoming brought along such a beautiful vixen, she would definitely seduce Lu Shaoming. Can you bring me over to take revenge?”
“Sure.” Mu Yunfan brought Ning Qing forward, with his arm on her shoulder.
The two of them stopped in front of Lu Shaoming, Mu Yunfan lifted his eyebrows and said, “Young Master Lu, Qingqing wanted to come look for you, so I brought her over.”
Lu Shaoming looked at Mu Yunfan, then looked at Ning Qing, his strong and sharp face tightened and he asked, visibly upset, “What’s the matter?”
Ning Qing stretched out her pinkie finger and said angrily, pointing at Ye Ting, “Shaoming, who is this woman? Is she that shameless mistress?” Ye Ting was shocked, she’d met Ning Qing in the bar previously, this woman was still in school but she already made a name for herself in the entertainment industry as a Best Actress. She was elegant and her actions made her feel proper and classy. She made visible improvements and let her look up to her. But hearing her words now, she was no different from a jealous vixen.
This was too weird. Lu Shaoming heard and frowned. He looked deeply at Ning Qing, “I refuse to answer these questions. Please contact me when you think of signing the papers.” Lu Shaoming left.
“Ay, Shao Ming.” Ning Qing hurriedly held on to his big hand by his side and she pouted her pink lips, “Shaoming, don’t leave me, okay?” She silently used her soft hand to brush against his palm. It was their intimate act. Lu Shaoming froze and shook off Ning Qing’s little hand, taking big strides to leave.
Ning Qing was satisfied with Lu Shaoming’s reaction, but she stomped her feet and made a frustrated expression. “Qingqing, don’t worry. With Brother here, Young Master Lu would not dare to bully you.” Mu Yunfan embraced Ning Qing’s shoulders.
“Sure, Brother Yun Fan, you must definitely help me.”
…
Lu Shaoming stood along the corridor. He lay lazily on the wall, and his long legs bent slightly. One hand was in his pocket, and two fingers on the other hand pinching a lit cigarette. He felt uncomfortable in his body. The palm in his pocket had remnants of the soft throbbing. She was like a feather brushing across his palm, and she sparked a fire that made his blood boil. He couldn’t get her coy expression off his mind. That damned woman, she still did not know how to be subtle after she’d moved into Mu Yunfan’s villa. She even wore that kind of outfit. She’d never worn something like that before.
He knew she was not behaving normally just now. She was always smart and quick witted, and she thought quickly whenever she met with troubles. He did not know what she wanted to do, and he felt a subtle sense of panic. At this moment, Ye Ting walked towards him and said, “President.”
The man did not bother with her. He was too concentrated on smoking, and his sexy thin lips took in a breath of smoke and then slowly let it out. The smoke circling around him lent a mysticism to his sculpture-like handsome face. He was originally an elegant and mighty man, but now he seemed too great for her to scale.
Ye Ting looked at Lu Shaoming’s suit, it was custom made handmade Armani. His slightly bent legs showed his grey cotton socks. His entire body was delicate and strict, not letting any small detail go astray, and he was extremely charming. It was the prime time for a 30 year old man, and he was no doubt the premium product of this peak. She was God’s favoured child. She was beautiful and capable in her work. The people who chased her could line up to the river banks of Huangpu District; there were wealthy and powerful scions among them, but he was the one whom she fell in love at first sight. Although, he never did look at her properly.
Ye Ting felt her face go hot, she stretched out her hand slowly and touched Lu Shaoming’s strong shoulders, “Young Master L…”
It was an invitation from a mature woman to a mature man.
Not bothered that he was already married, that he had a wife.
Lu Shaoming gave her a look, but he only stared at her extended hand. Ye Ting took back her hand as if she’d been struck by a bolt of lightning. Her body felt as if she’d been stung by bees. This man was too deep. The 14 years in the business world made even one expression from him have such a strong and threatening feeling. He did not even have to think of that. Although he brought her here to the banquet without rhyme or reason, Ye Ting also had her own dignity. Her eyes turned red and she wanted to turn around and leave.
At this moment, two figures entered Lu Shaoming’s peripheral vision, coming from the corner and moving towards him. He used his hand to cup onto Ye Ting’s shoulder and pushed her onto the wall. Ye Ting felt faint. The clean and crisp scent on this man was very fragrant, and mixed together with the faint smell of tobacco, made her intoxicated.
“President, you..” Her vision went black and the man used one hand to support himself on the wall as he bent down to kiss her.
Ning Qing who was far away. Mu Yunfan let out a satisfied smile but spoke to comfort her, “Qingqing, don’t be upset. It might be a misunderstanding.” Before he could finish his words, the girl by his side ran away swiftly.
…
Ning Qing ran to Lu Shaoming’s side and grabbed onto his elbow to push him against the wall. “Lu Shaoming, you are not allowed to kiss others, if you want to kiss, kiss me.” She tiptoed to kiss his lips. Ye Ting at the side had not regained her senses, but now seeing Ning Qing force herself upon him, she quickly withdrew her hand to cover her lips and stumbled backwards. Lu Shaoming did not think that the shy girl had such a bold and daring side. She was snatching a man from another woman and even took the initiative to kiss him. He frowned and wanted to push her away, but the fragrant and soft touch on his lips made him lose control. He swallowed his saliva, and parted his thin lips slightly so she could make her way in.
She opened her eyes to look at him. She did not close them. Her beautiful eyes were gentle and had a touch of playfulness. She looked at him shyly. Lu Shaoming could not take her gaze like that, and used his hand to push her away. Ning Qing stumbled backwards, and her soft back crashed into the wall with a bang! Her scar on her elbow had just barely scabbed over, and it was bleeding again now.
“Qingqing!” Mu Yunfan ran forward quickly. He used his pocket square from his suit to put pressure on Ning Qing’s wound and asked with concern, “What happened? Why does it hurt? Tell Brother quickly.”
Ning Qing lifted her gaze to look at Mu Yunfan, the sparkling tears fell down her cheeks and she bit her lip pitifully as she looked at him.
“Brother Yun Fan, it hurts.” Mu Yunfan froze and wanted to bring Ning Qing into his embrace for some tender loving care. Ning Qing looked again at Lu Shaoming in front of him. The man stood there with a frown. He still had her saliva on his thin and pale lips. “Shaoming, you used your hands to push me away? You really used your hands on me? Don’t you like my kiss? You really like this woman? What’s so good about this woman. She’s just a shameless vixen. She doesn’t love you; she only loves your money.”
Lu Shaoming’s eyes were dark and deep as he looked solely at her, without saying a single word. Ye Ting could not let it go on longer and stepped forward saying, “Miss Ning, please be more eloquent with your words. You keep repeating the word vixen time and again; who are you cursing at?”
Ning Qing broke free from Mu Yunfan and said emotionally, “I am cursing you, so what if I curse you? Vixen, vixen, I want to hit you!” Ning Qing lifted her hand up to give Ye Ting a slap. But her hand was blocked by Lu Shaoming.
“Enough, Ning Qing. Stop making a fuss!”
“Shaoming, you are saying that I am making a fuss? I am not making a fuss! Why don’t you want me anymore? You are making me really upset. Okay, you make a choice between me and this woman here today. Do you want me, or do you want her?” Lu Shaoming let go of her hand and did not reply. Pak! Ning Qing let go of her hand and slapped Lu Shaoming.
The corridor quickly became silent as Lu Shaoming was slapped. Ning Qing covered her mouth and ran away with tears in her eyes. “Hmph!”
“Qing Qing, wait for Brother!” Mu Yunfan looked Lu Shaoming’s face, which had been slapped. Ning Qing used a lot of strength and his face had marks of blood on it.
Mu Yunfan curled his lips into a smile and went to chase her Ning Qing swiftly. Looking at the two run, Ye Ting regained her senses. She went forward to comfort Lu Shaoming. “President, are you okay?” Lu Shaoming did not look at her and turned around walking in the opposite direction. He did not use strength to push Ning Qing, it was Ning Qing herself who crashed into the wall.
What was she planning to do tonight? Lu Shaoming swallowed his saliva and breathed painfully. He extended his tongue to lick his lips, and swallowed her remaining saliva.
…
Ning Qing went back to the banquet hall. She drank as she shed tears. Mu Yunfan came forward to look. Because Ning Qing drank in such a hurry, she almost choked. He hurriedly went forward and patted her slim back and said gently, “Qingqing, don’t be too upset. It is not worth it for a man like Lu Shaoming. There will be better men in the future, men who will love you.” Ning Qing was in his embrace and she used her small hand to hold onto his suit and said pitifully, “But, I am not willing to part with him. I love him greatly. How can he do this to me?”
“Okay, everything is fine now. You will forget him slowly, and Brother will take care of you in the future. Come, let’s go home now.”
“Okay.” Ning Qing nodded her head. The two walked into the hall and at this moment, a woman blocked their paths.
“Ning Qing, you still dare to come here without an ounce of guilt after you murdered Ning Yao?”
