Chapter 93  : Tell Me, What’s Wrong Today?

“What’s in the other bag, Wifey?”

“Nothing.” Ning Qing stretched out her small hand to cover the opening of the paper bag.

But it was too late. The man stretched out his long arm and stuck a long index finger in. The pink shoulder strap was hooked on his finger. “A bra, huh?”

Ning Qing’s face was red. She shouldn’t have come here today!

“Yeah, I felt like the size before was too small, so I’m trying a bigger size...” Ning Qing’s voice was like the buzz of a mosquito.

“Wifey, do I get credit for that?” Lu Shaoming placed his thin pink lips on her cute pink earlobe and spoke in a low and sexy voice while giving her a kiss.

Ning Qing was shaking. What was this man doing? Not only was he kissing her, but also rubbing his thumb on the shoulder strap that was on his index finger, like caressing the delicate skin of a woman.

When the elegant gentleman turned into a rogue, it brought about an indescribable temperament.

“Stop messing around!” She pushed his waist and abdomen with her elbow. The man did not budge, but she herself was pushed backward by the reaction of force.

“Ah!” She screamed.

A strong arm immediately wrapped around her petite and soft waist. The next second, she was in the embrace of the man. The man was breathing a little heavily. “What are you screaming for?”

What else could she be screaming for? She was about to fall.

What dirty thoughts did he have in his head?

“You, let go of me and leave me alone! It’s all because you were so close to me. I had no place to stand and therefore, I nearly fell.” Ning Qing pulled at his big hand with her two small hands.

Not only did Lu Shaoming not let go, but he also started groping around her waist casually. Her petite waist was so thin that he needed only half an arm to hold her.

“You fell just like this? I watched you dance in the “Pink Lady” competition that day; you could dance in any position. Would you like to split or rotate, or just lie against the wall and show me?

What was he talking about?

Did he not feel shame?

Was he there that day, too?

“Lu Shaoming, don’t touch my waist. Please, it’s really ticklish. Hehe...” Ning Qing really couldn’t stand him touching her. She immediately laughed and hid away with a sharp twist of her small body.

Lu Shaoming refused to let go. As they wrestled, Ning Qing turned around. She looked up and her beautiful smiling eyes that were like flowers met his eyes. He was looking at her with indulgence and adoration.

Ning Qing stiffened and stopped struggling. Her two small hands slowly held his strong waist as he buried her small face in his chest. “Shaoming, thank you.”

From the first moment he saw her, he knew that she had something on her mind and was unhappy, so he always indulged her and coaxed her.

Lu Shaoming’s lower abdomen was tense and his physical reaction was very strong from the friction between them. But he had good self-control. He caressed her hair with a big hand and kissed her forehead. He opened his mouth and asked, “Tell me, what’s wrong today?”

“... I...” Ning Qing hesitated to open her mouth, but then the door of the office was pushed open after a couple of knocks.

Zhu Rui stood beside the door, and a female manager from the marketing department stood next to him. From the documents in her hand, it looks as if she were here to report on her work.

Ning Qing hadn’t expected anyone to come. She quickly released him. Now she was embarrassed. What was she doing in such a serious place like the office?

Zhu Rui hadn’t expected that the president and his wife would be intimate in the office. He had followed the president for eight years. The president was rigorous, self-disciplined, clear, and elegant. His private life was clean. He had no need for anything between men and women. He was surrounded by an air of suppressed sensual passion and cold temperament, which made Lu Shaoming a male god in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, male gods would also have times when they become mortals.

Zhu Rui was embarrassed. “Pre... President, it’s time to make a reservation. There’s a survey report from the marketing department that you need to approve.”

“Leave, and close the door!”

Ning Qing heard the man beside her murmur. The world spun around her while she was still shocked. She had been carried by the man and was moving to the restroom in the office.

Zhu Rui closed the door quickly. The message of the male god that had turned mortal was obvious – I’m going to be with my wife right now. Don’t bother me.

The marketing manager stared at the door in front of her, stunned. She had forgotten to react. About 30 seconds later, she quietly said goodbye to Zhu Rui and called someone as she walked towards the elevator. “Hey, Xiao Juan, My gosh, guess what I saw just now? Our president was holding Ning Qing in his arms. Yes, that Ning Qing. Wow, you don’t see the president open his arms. His body was so magnificent. His sculpted handsome face was so gentle, and his lips were rubbing against Ning Qing’s face.”

...

Ning Qing was carried onto the soft bed. She grabbed the collar of the man’s shirt and asked uneasily, “Don’t you need to work?”

She didn’t want to cause the man’s professional downfall.

“No work, wifey is more important.” Lu Shaoming bent down to take off her high-heeled shoes and he placed her cool little feet onto the black and white bedding.

Ning Qing rolled onto the bed and her face was hot. Had he taken her shoes off for her just now?

A man like him taking off her shoes for her... she wondered what he was thinking.

While she was still feeling a little embarrassed, her petite shoulders were each clasped by a big hand, and the man’s strong body pressed up against her. “Wifey, since you’ve delivered yourself to my door, let’s kiss.”

He kissed her red lips.

Ning Qing’s scalp went numb. She gulped and closed her eyes. Her little hands trembled while they moved around his suit and took it off for him.

Lu Shaoming turned over and laid on the bed. He curled one long arm around her, allowing her to rest her head on his chest comfortably while pulling the blankets up to her waist. Another big hand buried into the hair at the back head to deepen the kiss.

Ning Qing was dizzy. No matter what she does with this man, she’s always very comfortable and loses herself easily.

After kissing for god knows how long, Lu Shaoming released her.

Ning Qing’s face was red as she rested on his chest, heart racing. His heart was beating violently in a disorderly rhythm. She could feel it underneath everything. She didn’t have to look to know what it was.

She suddenly didn’t know what to do.

Lu Shaoming sat up slowly and leaned his broad back against the bed. The girl leaned against him. He embraced her and let her rest in his arms like a kitten.

“What’s wrong? Tell me about it.” He glanced sideways at her bright and full forehead.

Ning Qing adjusted her breathing. The atmosphere after making out was quiet and graceful. It was very suitable for a long talk. “Well, I encountered Li Meiling and her daughter and Auntie Xu when I was shopping today.”

Ning Qing told Lu Shaoming what had happened.

“Mmm,” said Lu Shaoming, holding her tender little hand in a big hand while squeezing it compassionately. “So you feel like you’re a failure. Others are doing well, but you’ve been busy for nothing?”

“Yep!” Ning Qing nodded.

“At your age, what you’ve accomplished already is very impressive, but you haven’t done enough to deal with Meiling Li and her daughter. You haven’t grasped their key weakness, allowing them to still be able to walk around as they wish.” Lu Shaoming gave a pertinent comment.

“I know, but I don’t know what to do?” Ning Qing felt lost. “Before I was 18 years old, I felt happy. My family was harmonious. My parents loved each other. When I was in high school, I lived there with the whole family. When I was 18, I focused all my attention on the upcoming university entrance exam; I was absorbed in my studies. Then suddenly, my parents divorced and we were swept out of the house. No one told me the reason and I did not have the time to find out why. The pressures of life have been coming at me ever sense. All I knew was that I should earn as much as I can.”

Lu Shaoming listened carefully and analyzed simply, “Your parents always had a good relationship. You say you don’t know the reason for their divorce. Actually, the reason is very simple. Something unexpected must have happened to agitate your father and challenge his bottom line.”

Ning Qing knitted her beautiful eyebrows together and looked up at the man’s shining eyes. “You mean... Grandma being pushed down the stairs by my mother?”

“Yes.” Lu Shaoming nodded. “Think of it this way: Your father had feelings for your mother, and your mother and your grandmother are mother and daughter. Your family was harmonious. Your father would not have filed for divorce if your grandmother had not been pushed down the stairs. He would have wanted to maintain his win-win situation, as he had both his family and the beauty.”

Now that they were talking about it, Ning Qing was angry. “My mother wouldn’t push my grandmother down the stairs! I am absolutely sure of it. They are terrible. I hadn’t known about it until recently. They feel guilty and have deliberately hidden it from me!”

“That’s it, isn’t it?” Lu Shaoming laughed dotingly. “Go investigate it then. In fact, you have been misdirected when going against Li Meiling and her daughter. Ning Yao is nothing to be worried about it. As the saying goes, ‘To catch thieves, you must first catch the king.’ You should take Li Meiling down first. Li Meiling has lived for so long; she’s not someone you can bring down after only fighting a couple of battles of wits.”

Ning Qing felt a sudden sense of cheerfulness. For so long, she had been confused by the movements made by Li Meiling and her daughter. She had wanted to win too much.

She had only learned about her grandmother through Li Meiling at the press conference. She had vowed to find out the truth and prove her mother’s innocence, but she had never calmed down to seriously think it through.

She had not figured out the characters of the Ning family clearly. She had not seriously considered that Grandma’s incident would be the fuse of the divorce between her parents. So she had not thought that it would be the source of the divorce and investigated it.

Thinking of Li Meiling’s words during the conference: “If sister hadn’t pushed grandmother down the stairs, Zhenguo would not have filed for a divorce.” She hadn’t even thought much of it.

Her heart was too chaotic. She wanted to knock down Li Meiling so much, but she was too blind.

That’s right, water has the power to make a boat float or sink. Ning Zhenguo was the “water.” She shall let Ning Zhenguo abandon Li Meiling, just like he had abandoned her mother back then.

Those closely involved could not see as clearly as those outside.

After listening to Lu Shaoming, her impetuous heart quickly calmed down.

“However, Grandma’s incident happened three years ago. Grandma’s mind is not so clear now. It’s not going to be easy to investigate. Besides, I can’t guarantee that Grandma’s incident was planned by Li Meiling.”

Lu Shaoming pinched Ning Qing’s porcelain face and laughed. “Guessing boldly is the first step to victory, you have to believe your first instinct.”

Does he love to pinch her face that much?

Ning Qing patted his hand away. “Don’t pinch me, I’ll drool.” Although her hand had refused him, she burrowed deeper in his arms.

His arms were broad and warm, and his shoulders were strong. He was a man who could make any woman in the world feel as if she could depend on him.

She had a healthy sense of security.

Lu Shaoming pinched her face a couple more times and pecked her delicate lips with his eyes downcast. “Where’s the saliva? I’ll help you eat it.”

“You!”

Seeing that the girl was really a little annoyed, Lu Shaoming quickly pulled her into his embrace. She really couldn’t withstand agitation. Her face would turn red and she would stamp her feet.

Lu Shaoming said, “For a cunning character like Li Meiling, her means must be despicable. If you want to investigate Grandma’s incident, the first step is to fetch Grandma and get her by your side. One’s guilty conscience always fears danger; this trick will make Li Meiling uneasy. She will be unable to sleep and eat comfortably.”

Fetch Grandma over?

“Impossible, Ning Zhenguo will not agree!”

Lu Shaoming looked at her with a proud long leg half curled casually and smiled softly. “Do you need me to help you?”

Ning Qing’s eyes sparkled brightly, and a small hand grabbed the edge of his shirt and asked, “Shaoming, do you have a way?”

“Uh huh,” he answered.

“Great.” Ning Qing almost jumped up in joy. Not only did she want to investigate her grandmother’s incident, but she also had a very good relationship with her grandmother. Finally, she could take care of her grandmother!

“Shaoming, thank you for your help. I must find out the truth before Xu Junxi and Ning Yao get married. I will not let Ning Yao marry into the Xu family.” Ning Qing’s eyes sparkled with confidence.

But the man next to her was silent after hearing that.

Looking sideways, the man’s narrow eyes were sweeping sharply across her face, and a lot of things in his eyes that were contemplative suddenly appeared to be unfathomable.

Only then did Ning Qing realize that there was something wrong with her words. Did he think that she still had feelings for Xu Junxi and could not see Xu Junxi and Ning Yao being happy?

“Shaoming.” Ning Qing grasped for his handsome face and said earnestly, “Xu Junxi and I are in the past. My destruction of his marriage with Ning Yao has nothing to do with my personal feelings. Don’t take it the wrong way.”

Lu Shaoming touched her little head and lifted his lips as he said, “I know, I won’t misunderstand it. Are you tired after filming these past two days? It’s noon now. Sleep here for a while. Only when you have enough sleep can you have the energy to fight.”

Ning Qing was a bit sleepy. Her recent filming schedule has caused her days and nights to reverse. She hadn’t had enough sleep.

Lu Shaoming laid her down. Ning Qing saw that he was getting up and quickly tugged his sleeve. “Shaoming, will you sleep with me for a while?”

“Ok.” Lu Shaoming lifted the blanket and lay beside her.

Ning Qing leaned over and faced him. She moved her little body towards him. Lu Shaoming laughed softly and stretched out his long arm and let her rest her head on it. Ning Qing slept in his arms.

So warm.

After a while, the girl fell asleep. Lu Shaoming watched her peaceful sleeping face, and reached out and touched the tip of her nose with his fingers. She was sleeping so soundly. Does she know that his body was suffering?

Tormenting imp.

“Ning Qing, is Xu Junxi really not in your heart anymore? Twenty years of being childhood sweethearts is a very long time.” The sleeping girl did not hear the man’s lamentation.
