Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Ning Qing took a glass of red wine from the table next to her. She swayed the wine glass elegantly in her hand as she smiled beautifully. “Sure. When Yaoyao gets married, as your sister, how can I be absent and not give you my blessing? I will definitely be there to wish your marriage to be unfortunate!”

Ning Yao’s face grew grave as Ning Qing just cursed her marriage. However, she wasn’t angry but she laughed. She looked up at Lu Shaoming who was nearby. “Sister, who’s the girl next to Young Master Lu? Would she be Young Master Lu’s new lover? Young Master Lu brought his new lover to attend the dinner banquet but forgot about you? How many days has it been? You’ve already fallen into disfavor?”

Ning Qing took a sip of her red wine as she said lazily and coldly, “If Yaoyao says so... A few days ago in the Ning family’s house, I forgot to thank your fiancee for saving me. Yeah. How’s CEO Xu’s injury on his head? He bled for me.”

“You!” Ning Yao was at a loss for words. It seemed that she could never best Ning Qing in a verbal argument.

Ning Qing flashed a condescending smirk at Ning Yao. She turned to leave.

“Sister, where are you going?” Ning Yao asked.

Ning Qing kept walking as she turned around and lifted her index finger at Ning Yao. “Come, I’m going to toast with Young Master Lu. Come along if you think you’re brave enough.”

Ning Yao was stunned on the spot as she watched Ning Qing’s beautiful back shrink in the distance. From the bottom of her heart, she was impressed.

The people who stood around Young Master Lu were all from influential and wealthy families. Ning Qing was in a fix and she had the guts to toast. Wasn’t she upset looking at his new lover?

Her sister had guts.

...

Ning Qing walked towards and Lu Shaoming. As she approached him, the familiar sound of his deep magnetic voice traveled into her ears. He talked to the few men while the girl stood by him like a little bird relying on him.

“Young Master Lu,” she walked over. She didn’t care if she interrupted the conversation. She only raised her glass and smiled flirtatiously. “Toast to you.”

Lu Shaoming had one hand in his pocket as he turned to look at her. His handsome face was cold and his thin lips formed into a straight-line that looked rather unhappy.

He didn’t speak.

There was a man next to Lu Shaoming who had attended Guang Qing’s banquet, and he knew who Ning Qing was. The man knew that Lu Shaoming was not in a good mood. When the bodyguards pulled her jacket earlier, the veins on Lu Shaoming’s forehead were popping.

When Ning Qing was talking to Ning Yao, the man noticed that Lu Shaoming was focused on her in the corner of his eye. Lu Shaoming was responding absent-mindedly when they were chatting.

Then, Ning Qing had come over to propose a toast and Lu Shaoming’s face grew grave. The man quickly chuckled to ease the tension. “Miss Ning, what’s the toast to Young Master Lu for?”

Ning Qing took a look at the girl behind the man’s broad shoulder. Her delicate face was shimmering with gorgeous elegance as she raised her eyebrows and taunted heartlessly, “I’m here to toast to Young Master Lu for having a beautiful lady in his arms.”

“Haha...” Two men who had no idea what was going on started to laugh.

Yishuang blushed and lowered her head bashfully.

Among the few men, there was a young and successful entrepreneur. He’d seen Ning Qing in a movie before and he liked her. Now, he had a chance to meet his Goddess. He asked jokingly, “Miss Ning, you toast to Young Master Lu for having a beautiful lady in his arms. How about yourself? Do you have a boyfriend?”

Ning Qing looked at the handsome entrepreneur and she tucked her hair behind her ears. Then, she replied, “No.”

As she replied, Ning Qing could feel the man, who didn’t speak at all, let out a heavy breath. A pair of sharp eyes were fixed on her.

The entrepreneur didn’t notice the unusual atmosphere but laughed. “Haha. Miss Ning, a girl who is so beautiful and elegant like you must have many admirers. There must be someone you like, right?”

Ning Qing leaned her head sideways and pretended to think. Her eyes were already extremely beautiful, but as she looked around innocently they were even more enchanting.

“Of course, I do have admirers. They are all queueing up to take a number from my assistant.” Ning Qing then looked at the glass of red wine in her hand and muttered, “I do like one person. I wanted to bring him home tonight but I reckon he doesn’t need it.”

Ning Qing looked sideways at Lu Shaoming as her gaze grew gentle, “Young Master Lu, I’ll finish my drink first. Thank you... As we are friends after all.”

Ning Qing then lifted the glass and chugged the red wine.

Ning Qing didn’t look at the man again and turned and walked away.

“Miss Ning...” The entrepreneur saw Ning Qing start to leave and he quickly went after her. Ning Qing was giving out a lazy bearing that night and she let her arrogance and willfulness bloom like a vital poppy. The entrepreneur was carried away.

However, before the entrepreneur took another step, the man next to him stopped him. The man gave him a stare and the entrepreneur saw that Lu Shaoming had left.

Lu Shaoming went to chase after Ning Qing.

...

Ning Qing drank the red wine too quickly and she felt her cheeks were starting to burn. She touched her face and suddenly seized with terror as she felt moisture.

God knows when the tears welled up in her eyes had started rolling down.

Mm... Actually, she didn’t want to cry.

“Be careful!” There was a sudden exclamation behind her. Ning Qing knew the voice; it was Ning Yao’s.

She turned around and looked. She saw Lu Shaoming was one meter behind her. He bumped the glass of red wine in Ning Yao’s hand and it spilled onto his black tailored suit.

Ning Qing straightened her back and smirked. Can’t Ning Yao use a better tactic?

“Young Master, are you okay?” Ning Yao quickly came forward. She took out her pink handkerchief from her bag and wanted to wipe Lu Shaoming’s suit for him.

Before Ning Yao could reach Lu Shaoming, a crewman in black blocked her with his arm. “Miss, please stay where you are.”

Ning Yao wasn’t expecting it to turn out this way. Things got real awkward real quick. “Young Master Lu, I’m sorry. Your suit is wet. Please wipe it with my handkerchief.”

Ning Yao passed her handkerchief to Lu Shaoming.

Lu Shaoming couldn’t be bothered with his suit. He lifted his gaze to look at Ning Qing. The girl stood there quietly with her gaze stubborn and cold.

Lu Shaoming creased his handsome eyebrows.

“Young Master Lu, please change in the changing room,” the organizer of the banquet softly told Lu Shaoming after quickly rushing over.

Lu Shaoming nodded then he turned and left.

Ning Yao saw that Lu Shaoming didn’t bother looking at her, and her hand that was holding the handkerchief hung in the air.

The crewman in black took the handkerchief and said politely, “Miss, I’ll pass your handkerchief to Young Master Lu.” Then, the crewman followed Lu Shaoming and left.

Ning Yao was delighted. She turned to talk to Ning Qing. “Sister, look! Young Master Lu took my handkerchief. What do you think it means? The other day he sided with you at the Ning family home, but he accepted my handkerchief today. He didn’t even try to hide it.”

Ning Qing didn’t reply. Yes, she was jealous of Yishuang, who stood next to Lu Shaoming, because she was from a wealthy family and they made a well-matched couple. But who the hell was Ning Yao? Lu Shaoming wouldn’t be interested in her nor would she be jealous of her.

But if Ning Yao’s not his type, why did he accept her handkerchief? He knows for a fact that she and Ning Yao are enemies.

Ning Qing paused then walked to go after Lu Shaoming.

She wasn’t dumb. Lu Shaoming was so far away from her earlier but then he was knocked one meter behind her. If she’s not mistaken, it looks like he had chased after her.

Although whatever he did that day made her sad and embarrassed, as long as he was willing to take one step, she was willing to take the other ninety-nine..

Even if she were dead to him, she’d want to know why.

...

At the corridor where the changing room was, it was really quiet. She didn’t know which room was Lu Shaoming in.

When she walked past a room,she could hear noises coming from inside. A woman inside shouted, “Young Master Lu, be gentle.”

Ning Qing was shocked. She heard a man’s muffled voice. “Yishuang, let me.”

Yishuang?

“Young Master Lu, you’re so naughty. Don’t you have a wife at home? Why are you doing this?”

“Stop bringing her up. No touching no rubbing, just like a log... Who could stand her?”

Ning Qing turned around and left.

How could he say that? She didn’t let him touch her? She didn’t let him rub her? Was she like a log?

She hurt so badly that night but she endured it in silence. She knew he was enjoying himself. She was crying as she hugged his neck and kissed him.

She never thought about anything. She was willing to do anything as long as he was happy.

Then, she teased him by saying her legs and her chest hurt but he didn’t understand that she was just acting spoilt before him. She hoped that he would treat her nicely in the future.

However, he changed so quickly. He became so cold. Three months ago, he barged into her life and gave her a beautiful dream. Then, he pushed her into the abyss.

She felt her nose start to crinkle and tears started to flow. Ning Qing began to run, she wanted to leave the suffocating place.

As she made a turn at a corner, she ran into someone. Xu Junxi.

Xu Junxi was stunned as he saw Ning Qing’s face covered in tears. There was pain in his eyes but he sounded unnaturally, “Why are you crying?”

“None of your business!” Ning Qing wiped away her tears with her hand and ran away from him.

But Xu Junxi grabbed her wrist. He heard the noises in the room and he smirked. “Who’s Lu Shaoming with? He doesn’t want you anymore?”

Ning Qing swung his hand away, “No, Lu Shaoming doesn’t want me anymore. I’m upset and I’m crying. Are you happy with that? Haven’t you been waiting for that the day he leaves me? Your dream came true. Go ahead and laugh about it. I have no time to bother with you. Can’t you just let me cry in peace for a while.

Xu Junxi watched as she lost control of her emotions and he felt bitter. He had been looking forward to the day when Lu Shaoming wouldn’t want her anymore, but he didn’t want her to cry for Lu Shaoming.

Why was she crying so sadly?

Why did his heart hurt so much when she cried?

“Ning Qing, don’t shed tears for him. Why shed tears for him?”

“Heh, you ask me why? It’s simple. I’m in love with Lu Shaoming. I fell in love with him!” Ning Qing’s eyes were red as she covered her mouth and ran away.

Xu Junxi was in a trance. She’d fallen in love with another man? In just three months?

...

Ning Qing walked past the banquet hall. Her tears blurred her sight and she couldn’t see clearly. She bumped into a few people as she ran towards the door.

“Who’s this? Why didn’t she apologize when she hit someone? Hey, isn’t it Ning Qing? What happened to her?” The people in the hall started to gather by the door to see what’s going on.

Ning Qing ran very quickly but one of her heels got caught a small stone. She fell and landed on her butt.

It was true. When it rains, it pours.

She supported herself with both her hands as she tried to stand up. She suddenly felt two hands on her shoulders. The man’s unhappy voice traveled into her ears. “Ning Qing, are you done?”

Ning Qing lifted her gaze and saw Lu Shaoming squatted down before her. He changed into a green shirt. It appeared that he had come out in a rush as his tie was still hanging on his neck but he wasn’t wearing a suit.

Who did he say was causing trouble?

“Pak!”

Ning Qing raised her hand and slapped him.

“Psst...” The crowd who had gathered by the door took a breath. Even the banquet organizer, who had just been running towards them, stopped and watched anxiously from afar.

The surrounding air grew thick with tension. No one could believe that Lu Shaoming had just been slapped.

After three seconds, Lu Shaoming turned around and his slender eyes were like a cold blot of ink. They were extremely dark like two clouds of dangerous whirlpool.

“What’s the reason for this? Why did you just slap me?” There wasn’t much emotion in his voice, only deeper tone.

“How dare you ask for a reason? What did you do in the changing room earlier? You...” Ning Qing’s nose was red and she was choking with sobs as she spoke.

Lu Shaoming could understand what she was trying to say. He cut her off and looked towards the organizer of the dinner banquet, “Come and tell her what did I do at the changing room.”

The organizer of the dinner banquet’s legs grew weak as he walked over in staggered steps. He said, “Miss Ning, Young Master Lu was changing in the changing room and I was guarding outside.”

“Liar, I don’t believe in you. You were with Yishuang earlier!” Ning Qing cried as she raised her voice.

Just as she spoke, the man lifted her jaw with two fingers. She was crying so badly and he extended his hand to wipe her tears. He wasn’t exactly being gentle. His rough fingers rubbed against her tender skin and it felt painful. Ning Qing shook her head and did not let him touch her.

He got impatient and pulled her face into his chest. His refreshing scent... The warm yet enchanting scent instantly surrounded her.

Ning Qing wanted to get away, but she felt something soft against her cheeks. He wiped her tears away with the sleeve of his shirt.

“In which room did you see me with someone else? Tell me the room number and I’ll ask someone to get you the surveillance video. Which Yishuang? Let me think. Is it the woman that you heard about over the phone yesterday? Was it the woman standing next to me today? If I told you that I don’t know her and I’ve never looked at her, would you trust me?”
