My Dangerous Billionaire Husband - Chapter 198

Chapter 198: Expressing Her Love In Front Of The Entire City

Zhou Zhilei had a warm smile on her face, and she said, “Aunt, I have grown up together with Brother Ming. I only have him in my eyes. I will always wait for him.”

“Okay.” Song Yajing nodded her head in satisfaction, this was her elegant, noble, perfect daughter in law whom she envisioned to have in her heart. “But, Aunt, I saw that Brother Ming seems to like Ning Qing very much. He doesn’t mind about Ning Qing’s past. If Brother Ming finds out that Ning Qing is his wife…”

“Don’t worry, Zhi Lei. Shaoming won’t find out about this. I have sealed off all news and records. Even if he does go to check, he would not be able to find anything. Furthermore, he doesn’t have any memories. He won’t ever have any reason to think that Ning Qing would be his wife. How would he board such a train of thought? What I said today was all true. She could go to verify these things, and Shaoming would not suspect anything. If Ning Qing dares to break our 3 months promise, then don’t blame me for not being courteous towards her.”

“Also, Shaoming is a man. Don’t look at his expressionless and careless figure today. I would not believe that he would take any of the things I said to heart.” Zhou Zhilei listened on and was relieved. With Song Yajing around, she could hide behind her if anything were to happen and she would not need to do it herself.

Song Yajing was Lu Shaoming’s mother. If Ning Qing wants to be together with Lu Shaoming, she would not really take action on her own mother in law. Everything would work out if she grabs onto Song Yajing and does not let go. “Okay, Aunt, I will listen to your words.” Zhou Zhilei curled her lips into a sweet smile.

…

Lu Shaoming sat in the Bentley. The car slowly made its way past neon lights of the city, and outside the car windows, he could see a scene of robust early spring. But his heart was heavy. He believed Song Yajing did not lie to him, and but she definitely added her own details while telling her side of the story, just like what Lin Xuemei had done.

Actually he also could go investigate. If he had a girl whom he had feelings for, he could go to investigate her background. But just like before, he did not have the courage to open the document and he did not go check. She definitely did have a past. If he went to investigate, he would probably find records of her not ending the relationship well with some men, her first love, fiancé. Also…was she married? Um, actually it was nothing much…

If he considered well enough to develop a relationship with her, he would try to accept her past. Just now in the hotel room, kissing her felt really good. When he closed his eyes he could still immerse himself in her sweet and fragrant taste. He was a clear cut person; since he could not control how his body reacts towards her, then he would give it a try. Didn’t the person who she loved die? Then he would be her only man in the future. It was pretty good this way. But his heart still felt terrible, very terrible.

He did not know why his heart felt terrible. He felt terrible with every word that his mother had told him. Ning Qing was like if he were walking along the street on a random day and suddenly a beautiful and intelligent girl ran in to his line of vision and used an adoring expression to look at him. She pulled onto his hand and said, “Shaoming, I love you. Let us go home…”

This feeling was very unrealistic and made him hesitate. But, he craved this type of feeling. Maybe, this was the cost of being loved. Lu Shaoming dialed Zhu Rui’s number and said, “Hello, Secretary Zhu, I want to go to Europe tomorrow for a business trip… That’s right, maybe I will come back after a week…”

…

In the following week, Ning Qing received a succession of positive reports. First, Ning Qing’s “Journey of Love” had been officially broadcast on major web platforms, and it only took 3 days to accumulate one billion five-hundred-million views. It remained one of the top Weibo Hot Topics for an entire week, and it was the champion of real time hot search chart and Baidu’s search engine chart. Ning Qing brought along popular actors Ou Luo Xi and the nation’s goddess Xia Xiaofu to shoot through the height of popularity in March, and they made it to the top with a single move.

At the same time, the matter regarding Oscar Judge Sun Jun was discussed hotly. The fans and netizens were outraged by the injustice suffered by Ning Qing. The Oscar board were under pressure and came out to make an official apology towards Ning Qing. Ning Qing magnanimously announced her forgiveness and attached an edited picture of her participation in the Golden Lightning Awards. She used her popularity to overlook the Oscars and gave a second spring for the Golden Lightning Awards along the way.

In the end at the Oscars awards, Ou Luo Xi used the stage play performance to get the accolade of Best Actor. Xia Xiaofu got her first “Best Actress.” The pair’s speech were full of thanks for Ning Qing, and in the end, Ning Qing’s name was like oxygen in the city, emanating through every corner of T city.

New director Ning Qing that was only 21 years old. She was just like a bright pearl, arising brightly from the East.

Tonight, it was the official prize giving ceremony for the Golden Lightning Awards.

A luxury sedan stopped at the edge of the red carpet. Xiao Zhou pulled open the doors, and Ning Qing slowly stepped out.

She was wearing a long light green dress with a V collar. The dress was printed with elegant Chinese embroidered flowers; large Chinese peonies were in full bloom. The folds of her dress were charming and gentle and its long train was on the floor, making her look elegant and impressive.

Her locks were placed down. Her delicate little face was made up for this event, and she looked bright and beautiful. Her neck had a very thin crystal necklace on it. With her entrance, the entire crowd cheered loudly. Ning Qing slowly stepped onto the red carpet. Cheers from all directions swarmed her, “Ning Qing, Ning Qing!”

This Golden Lightning Awards ceremony was a sensation because of her, and she was the focus of the crowd now. She was breath-taking to the entire city, and she seemed magnificent from head to toe. Meeting everyone’s expectations, Ning Qing received the Best Director for stage production, Best Production, and 8 other accolades. She turned out to be the greatest winner of the night. Ning Qing’s white hand lifted her skirt while she walked slowly to the announcer’s table. T city’s Minister of Culture personally handed the awards to her.

The emcee asked her, “Director Ning, you are the youngest director among your peers, so with today’s achievements, who do you want to thank most?” Ning Qing held her trophy, her two eyes filled with tears, and she looked towards the sea of fans below. She smiled slowly and said, “I have to thank the fans the most, they have accompanied me on this journey and supported me all along, and that resulted in my achievements today. I love you all.”

The fans below the stage were all cheering. They came from all walks of life, and they all gathered here today to have a glimpse of Ning Qing. “Ning Qing…” Everyone was cheering.

At this moment, Ning Qing placed her finger from her right hand onto her lips and made a Shh! Gesture. The crazy fans saw that and quieted down in a moment. Ning Qing still had things to say. The journalists were all excited. Ning Qing did not ever disappoint them; what she was about to say next was the highlight.

Ning Qing saw the entire venue quiet down. She placed the award on the announcer’s table and slowly took another one from the back that looked totally the same. Everyone saw, and they started to talk among themselves fervently.

The emcee could not help but laugh, saying, “Miss Ning, if I did not see incorrectly, this must be the first line of product that Cabbage Plume debuted. You are?” This was the first time a celebrity had brought her own endorsed product to go on stage. Ning Qing was beyond daring.

Ning Qing playfully fluttered her long lashes that were akin to a butterfly’s wings, and her bright eyes had a sliver of light to them. She said, “I have not completed my acceptance speech. The next part that I am about to say. Do you guys want to listen?”

“Yes!” The entire crowd was screaming.

“The success I have today is not only due to the love of the fans. I also have to thank….Cabbage Plume. It was Cabbage Plume that gave me the opportunity, and it was Lu Shaoming that assisted me in my success.” She had said the name “Lu Shaoming” out loud in front of the entire city.

The venue was silent. The fans looked upon their idol with admiration, and a sea of gazes were directed at her. Ning Qing’s voice was soft and gentle; it was especially charming. “I think in everyone’s heart, there is someone that they love. When we were young, we followed in their footsteps and worked hard together, hoping that one day, we would have enough capability to stand by their sides. Similarly for me, I believe that in every woman’s heart, there is a Lu Shaoming living inside. He is gentle, handsome, and rich and he fulfils the perfect image when a woman thinks of a man. So…”

So what?

The fans who were listening were moved beyond tears. Ning Qing stopped speaking now. They only saw the small woman on stage abruptly change the atmosphere. She playfully pushed the bottle of Cabbage Plume in front of the camera. “So, girls, be excited! Buy one bottle of Cabbage Plume from me – it will give you the Lu Shaoming that you want, and you would definitely have a chance encounter this love.”

“Haha…” The fans had tears in their eyes, and they all stood up, and gave a resounding round of applause.

Buy one bottle of Cabbage Plume from me, it will give you the Lu Shaoming that you want, and you would definitely have a chance encounter this love…

With one sentence from Ning Qing, Cabbage Plume had sold out completely within 2 hours at major department stores and supermarkets. Cabbage Plume created a new high in the cosmetics industry and turned into a legend.

Ning Qing once again topped the list of hot trending topics. This time, it was because of her confession of love at the Golden Lightning Awards.

Yes, she had confessed her love to Lu Shaoming in front of the entire city! It was so brave and so high profile.

Xiao Zhou ran toward Ning Qing’s side while catching her breath. She was sweating excessively and said, “Ning Qing, our phone lines are jam packed! Since the Golden Lightning Awards yesterday, everyone wants to have an interview with you. It wouldn’t be good if you keep pushing them away right? Ning Qing, what exactly do you plan to do next?”

At this moment, Ning Qing was standing before the French windows on a high floor. Below her feet was the priciest piece of land in T city. There was a horizontal billboard outside the window. That was the spot for the most popular celebrity’s photos, and now, it was her – Ning Qing!

Ning Qing looked at Xiao Zhou, smiled gracefully, and said, “The next step would be us investing in an entertainment company and creating our own work studio.”

“What?” Xiao Zhou was shocked, her eyes were shining bright and she said, “Ning Qing, are we our own bosses now?”

“That’s right,” Ning Qing gave a definitive answer. “We will have our own studio in the future. The company will have our own artistes and media works. We are the bosses now.”

“Oh my god!” Xiao Zhou heard her words and was very excited. She had barely followed Ning Qing for a year, but every step Ning Qing took was akin to that of a flight. She admired Ning Qing very much. She was like torrential river water that was flowing ferociously.

“Ning Qing, one year ago, I knew that by following you, I would not go hungry. But I did not think that I could afford abalone so soon!”

Ning Qing lifted her brows and agreed with her. “In the future, you will have even better ingredients that you will be able to enjoy.” Xiao Zhou was elated, actually. Entering the wrong profession was fine; she only needed a director who existed like a god, and she could still bring her along to fly.

Haha.

“Xiao Zhou, calm down. The abalone is not even here, I think your saliva is already about to drip down. Help me give a call to Xu Junxi’s assistant. I want to meet him.”

“Meet Xu Junxi? Why?”

“Are you in a blur now? If we are about to invest in an entertainment company and want to start our own work studio, do you have experience?” Xiao Zhou shook her head like a rocker and said, “No.”

“Then wouldn’t that be okay? If you don’t have experience, you need to look for someone to help you. Doing so would allow you to meet fewer dead ends. Looking at things now, Xu Junxi is the best asset that we can use. Why would we let him go without making use of him?”

Xiao Zhou nodded her head immediately and said, “Okay, I will give him a call now.”

“Ay, come back Xiao Zhou. I need you to help me book a ticket to Europe also.”
