My Dangerous Billionaire Husband - Chapter 222

Chapter 222: He Came From Shanghai, With His Body Full of Wind And Rain

Liu Ling was chased away. Xiao Zhou placed the bento box in front of Ning Qing. Ning Qing ate the same meal as the others in the drama group. There were red braised ribs, stir fried fragrant celery with dried tofu skin, braised tofu cubes in sauce, and an egg.

Ning Qing held her chopsticks with one hand, and used another hand to hold onto her phone to use WeChat. She pressed on the contact “Husband” and sent a voice message. “Shaoming, have you eaten your dinner?”

The man replied quickly. It was also a voice message. A low and charming male voice rang out, “You are done with your work?”

Ning Qing smiled sweetly. Why was she hearing his tone? He sounded like he had waited for her for a long time and was being sulky about now.

“Shaoming, shall we do a video call?” She had not seen him for a few days, and she missed him greatly.

“Okay.”

Ning Qing sent a video call request and he accepted it.

Lu Shaoming was in the office at that moment. He wore a clean, pristine white office shirt. His sculpture-like handsome face was highlighted under the warm lighting and, he looked as gentle as a piece of jade. He rolled up his sleeves and he probably put his fountain pen down. He looked at her, and his bright eyes had a touch of gentleness in them.

She had not seen him for a few days. Her man had become more handsome.

Ning Qing’s gaze met his, and she quickly put on a bright smile with squinting eyes. She secretly glanced around her surroundings. There was no one in sight, so she softly called, “Hubby.”

“What?” The man did not have any expression aside from his slightly raised eyebrows. He was obviously in a good mood.

“Hubby, what do you say back?” Ning Qing pouted her pink lips.

The man was not used to it, and he was also unwilling to cooperate, “I will wait for you to return to say it.”

“Don’t be like that…” Ning Qing acted cute and spoke with a coy tone.

The screen on the phone was very small. It was unlike a notebook. The girls delicate face took up his screen. It made the arcs of her face seem extra gentle and beautiful.

Her youthful eyes looked pitiful, and her cherry like small lips were still half pouting. If he were beside her, she would use her two white fingers to pinch his clothes like a small pet.

That gesture would make anyone’s heart melt.

Now she especially liked acting cute towards him.

Lu Shaoming surrendered and coughed lightly, “…Baby.”

“Ay!” Ning Qing happily responded to his words. She lowered her gaze to eat a small bite of rice, and she used her phone allow him a view of her dishes. “Hubby, this is my dinner tonight. It’s not bad, right?”

Lu Shaoming saw and was not too satisfied, “It is too simple.”

“How is it simple? It tastes good. I am eating two bowls of rice every day.” Ning Qing used her chopsticks to pick a piece of celery and place it into her mouth to chew. Her small, oily lips were shining and glossy. Her two cheeks let out a pleasant sound of chewing, and it seemed that she was enjoying her meal thoroughly.

Lu Shaoming looked at her small face gently and did not speak.

“Shaoming, don’t you believe me? I really need to eat two bowls of rice now. My small stomach has grown bigger. If you don’t believe me, you will know when you hug me.”

Hug her?

Lu Shaoming looked at her pink, youthful skin and tugged on the tie on his neck. This girl spoke without feeling shy.

“Ning Qing” Lu Shaoming called her.

“Yeah?”

Lu Shaoming wanted to speak, but at this moment, he heard, “Director Ning.” There was someone calling for her.

Ning Qing turned back to have a look, and she said to Lu Shaoming. “Shaoming, I have something to take care of. I will chat with you when I am free. Bye bye.”

“Ning Qing, finish your meal first!” the man said in a low tone, but that girl had already ended the call and went off to her work.

Lu Shaoming had been hung up on: “…”

Lu Shaoming threw the phone on the table. His handsome figure lay back on the chair, and he stretched his tongue to lick his dry lips, and two fingers pinched the centre of his furrowed brows.

How many days had it been? Every day they would use WeChat to chat for a while. It was like this every time, while they were chatting, she would just disappear.

In every other couple. the women wait for the men, and that works well. They were the total opposite of the norm.

That heartless girl, could her career be more important her man?

Lu Shaoming felt sour in his heart. This was the second time that he had such feelings. He did not know if it was what everyone termed as…feeling wronged?

He really went crazy.

It was probably because he was neglected for so long.

….

Ning Qing settled the matters and ate her meal. She returned to her room to sleep. Because there was a night scene that was to be shot in an hour, she needed to rest for a while.

Xiao Zhou walked behind her and curiously asked, “Ning Qing, you have not seen Young Master Lu for 10 days already. How do you two keep in contact?”

“Text messages, voice messages, and also video calls,” Ning Qing replied.

“Just that?” Xiao Zhou could not believe it. “Ning Qing, other couples in a long distance relationship have it the toughest. Even if you wanted to touch each other, you couldn’t. They really really miss one another. Could it really be that you didn’t have any special indications to maintain the freshness of love between you two?”

“Special indication?” Ning Qing did not know.

“Aiyo, Ning Qing do you really not know or are you pretending not to know? You and Young Master Lu are both experienced people. Would he not miss you?” While she spoke, Xiao Zhou bent down beside Ning Qing’s ears to whisper a few lines to her.

“Go away, you are such a bad influence as a friend!” With a red face, she pushed Xiao Zhou away.

…

Ning Qing entered her room and took a shower. She wrapped a towel around herself and came out. She stood before the sink and looked at herself in the mirror.

Her skin was youthful and soft, as if water would ooze out of it. Her delicate and gentle features were like a painting. She had just come out from the shower. It was as if there were a thin layer of powder on her body. She even seemed more bright and translucent than the softest and finest fur would be.

No matter how she looked at herself, she was stunning.

She recalled what Xiao Zhou said. Her eyes had a touch of light in them. She bit on her pink lips and kept her shyness in while she took out her phone.

Her small hands let go. The bath towel fell onto the floor, and her thin arm was horizontally in front of her chest. She actually did not need to squeeze. Her figure had developed well, and even if she covered half of herself, it would make others’ blood vessels burst.

“Click!” the sound rang in the air as she snapped a shot. Then she sent it to him.

She kept her phone and she almost ran and jumped inside her blanket. Her entire body was burning hot. She would never have done such a shameless thing.

She did not know what he would think after he saw it.

Her small face was buried inside the blankets and her phone rang quickly. Ding! She closed her eyes as she took her phone to look. His reply was: [What are you doing?]

With this, Ning Qing almost wanted to dig a hole into the ground to bury herself in it. She could imagine him saying these words while scrunching his eyebrows, with one hand inside his pocket and a serious expression on his face.

Did he not know what she was doing?

Did he want to do something?

He was not like that in the past.

In the past when they were just married, he took part in all sorts of rogue behaviour. Even with a little teddy bear, he would be able to talk dirty. Don’t even mention about the time they video called each other with the computer. He didn’t react even though he wanted to see her…. He did not get the hint!

Ning Qing pouted her pink lips, shut her phone off with hatred, and did not bother about him.

…

After sleeping for half an hour, Ning Qing started to film again. She was busy until 2 or 3 in the morning. Ning Qing was recording a single with Liu Wenlong. Ning Qing hired a professional music teacher from overseas.

Ning Qing sat on the bench. Her white small hand was on the piano figuring out the keys, and then she played the tune of this single by herself.

The music teacher started off with a tone, “Ah,” and Liu Wenlong put on his earphones to softly hum along.

Other staff crowded around to look. Xiao Zhou used both hands to clap the beat. “It sounds so good,” she said with a rueful tone.

Lu Shaoming entered the door and saw this scene play out. The entire group were gathered together. The girl’s small hand was confidently pressing on the keys. She was not good at singing, and she pressed a key twice and made an edit. She said with a smile, “Teacher, Wenlong, do you think I should change it up here?”

The music teacher frowned the first time he heard it, then he let out a jubilant smile and said, “It does not feel bad. Director Ning, you know something about music?”

The girl was shy yet gracious. Her face was slightly red as she said, “Teacher, I do not know music, I am tone deaf when I sing. I am only taking the perspective of an audience and felt that this tune could still be edited somewhat. The audience’s ears are forever the most sharp.”

The music teacher nodded his head and he had an admiring gaze. “Director Ning is too humble. Not everyone who understands music can sing. I heard that Director Ning is especially good at playing the piano, and I would think that you have expertise with regards to the score. How could you say that you don’t understand music when you have such knowledge?”

“Haha that’s right. Teacher didn’t you know, our Director Ning is multi-talented.” Xiao Zhou covered her mouth as she laughed.

“That’s right…” The team all agreed in unison.

It was past midnight now. The cast and crew were basically off work now. Even the recording studio had only a white bulb available. The conditions were basic and could not compare to a professional recording facility. But everyone gathered in the gentle white light, and the atmosphere was harmonious and beautiful.

Ning Qing curled up her lips into a smile. At this moment a tall, handsome figure emerged in her vision, and she lifted her eyes to look, “Shaoming!”

She stood up from the bench, her eyes full of shock and surprise.

Why was he here?

Lu Shaoming was wearing a formal white shirt and a black suit. He probably rushed here from the office. His figure seemed to be covered in a layer of dust. He stood tall and straight at the side of the door. He very quietly looked at her. The sharp trousers on his legs seemed to have creases from his travels. His body was still chilly from being outside, and his entire figure seemed to have the smell of Shanghai.

How could Ning Qing not be surprised?

“Young Master Lu.” The people in the drama group all channelled their gazes over to look. They were beyond surprised; they were in awe.

Xiao Zhou was jubilant. “Young Master Lu, are you here to visit Ning Qing at work?”

Ning Qing instantly smiled brightly like a blossoming flower.

Did she even have to ask? He was definitely here to visit her at work.

Lu Shaoming walked briskly inside, and he nodded towards the people in the drama group, he had the politeness and air of a wealthy man and then stuck a hand into his pocket and stood by Ning Qing’s side.

“Let’s go, let’s go to work quickly. No one is allowed to stand here anymore.” Xiao Zhou chased everyone away.

Seeing everyone leave, Ning Qing lifted her small head. Her beautiful, youthful eyes were set on his handsome face. “Shaoming, why are you here?”

There was a difference in height between them. She was a head shorter than him. Every time he looked down at her, he would cover her entire sky, and her eyes only had him inside them.

Lu Shaoming’s eyes concentrated with his deep emotions. “I am here to see you.”

He probably already missed her.

Ning Qing laughed secretly in her heart.

She took a step forward and did not worry about the people at the side who were secretly peeking at them. She took the initiative to stretch out her small hand to hold onto his large palm. “Shaoming, I still have work to complete for a while. It will take around half an hour. You go to my room to sleep . I will come to look for you later.”

Lu Shaoming held her small hand in his big palm. He pinched her twice and snorted, “I will stand here and look at you.”

Ning Qing felt sweet beyond words. She looked at the side of his face; it was stubborn and serious without a smile. She loved his mesmerizing hairline, and Ning Qing felt drunk.

Ning Qing held onto his hand and brought him into the field office, “Shaoming, you sit here for a while. I will go make a cup of tea for you.”

As she spoke, she went on her tiptoes and kissed his thin, maroon lips.

The front of the office was made out of glass. Everyone outside could see what was going on inside. She ducked sideways to hide in a corner, then secretly kissed him.
