Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

“Ning Qing, I’m quite curious. Is this bear male or female?”

Why would he ask such a weird question?

“Female!” Ning Qing grumpy.

“Yeah? Let me see. Where’s the difference between a male and female?”

The difference... Between the legs?!

Just as Ning Qing came back to reality and looked at him, there was a rippling flirtatious glean in his eyes. He watched her as he leisurely leaned against the side of the bed. He frowned, as though he were serious and solemn.

He seemed to be in deep thought about the difference between male and female!

She had never seen such a shameless man in her life. How could he make a dirty joke in such a proper manner?

“Lu Shaoming, I misjudged you!” Ning Qing reprimanded as she blushed.

Lu Shaoming wasn’t against her accusation but said, “You’ve only now realized? It’s too late.”

Ning Qing decided to ignore him.

...

The girl didn’t bother with him and Lu Shaoming stood by the door as he lit a cigarette. He crossed his legs elegantly as he smoked.

Ning Qing stood by her wardrobe and she asked, “Should I bring my clothes over?”

Lu Shaoming ashed his cigarette and replied in his deep voice, “Don’t need to. I have asked someone to prepare your clothes.”

“Oh,” Ning Qing replied and her face grew awkward. “Then, I’ll only pack my underwear.”

“There’s underwear too.”

Ning Qing felt uncomfortable. A man prepared her underwear for her. She was so shy.

She looked down and pouted. “Maybe the size that you bought for me isn’t suitable. I’d better bring some.”

“How could it be not suitable? I measured with my hands. Very accurate.”

Measured with your hands?

Ning Qing recalled that it was half a month ago when she sat on his lap in that dorm room. He supported her butt with his hand...

She looked at the handsome man who stood by the door and said, “You measured my bottom but what if the top doesn’t fit?”

Lu Shaoming heard and slowly looked up at her. He puffed a cloud of smoke at her face from two meters away. ENveloped by the smoke, his sculpted face showed a tinge of unrestrained wildness. He stared at her well-developed chest and said, “34B, I gauged with my eyes.”

Ning Qing cursed in her head, Stupid, why do I discuss such an unhealthy topic with him!

She reined back her gaze and the way he smokes was still in her head. It was as though the smoke thrust itself at her face. It gave her chills.

34B... It was really her size. He’s quite accurate.

However, if a man could gauge so accurately, he must have some experience.

Ning Qing’s mood instantly dampened. She felt uncomfortable. Considering his age, he would have dated at least seven or eight girls by now.

She took a deep breath and courageously looked to her side. She flashed a happy smile and spoke in a casual chatting tone. “You must have had much practice.”

Lu Shaoming chuckled and looked down when he put the cigarette butt out in the ashtray. He put his hands into his pockets and replied seriously, “I’ve only read you. You alone.”

Ning Qing couldn’t believe him. Who does he think he’s trying to lie to?

He read her only, and he could be that accurate? Or... Was he talented in this?

Regardless, he was sick!

Too sick!

But, Ning Qing stopped frowning and her mood magically lifted.

....

As she was thinking, Ning Qing idly shuffled a book that was near her. Lu Shaoming saw a comic book on her desk and he walked over to flip the comic book with his dainty fingers.

“Lu Shaoming, don’t look!” Ning Qing noticed him, and she was surprised that she stood up and ran over to take the comic. She looked at him with her guard up. “This is personal, you can’t look!”

Lu Shaoming shrugged and smiled, “Who’s the boy in your comic book? Xu Junxi?”

“No!” Ning Qing shook her head as she blushed in embarrassment. She put the comic book in the paper bag, “Don’t ask. I won’t tell you even if you ask.”

“Okay,” Lu Shaoming nodded. He wasn’t a man who was tied up in the past. Before he married her, he knew that she once had a relationship with Xu Junxi. Hence, he didn’t mind.

He’d been the one to marry her anyway, so why worry?

It must from when she was in her first bloom of love; the secret in the bottom of Ning Qing’s heart back in the day. he wouldn’t force her to reveal it.

“Are you done? Let’s go.” Lu Shaoming went to pick up the few paper bags.

...

The man walked in front while Ning Qing followed behind him, carrying her favorite plushie bear. She watched the man’s firm footsteps, and with every step he took, the corner of his beige slacks formed a beautiful arc.

It was her first time seeing a man who carried paper bags with the charm of a man carrying a briefcase.

“Why are you so slow? Hurry up!” Lu Shaoming stopped and waited for the girl behind him.

Ning Qing quickly shook away her romantic thoughts and jogged to him. She recalled something and took out the broken watch from her bag to pass to him. “I dropped the watch on the ground and it wouldn’t move anymore. Where did you buy this? Send it back and see if it can be repaired.”

Lu Shoaming took the watch and examined it. “Ning Qing, want to see a magic trick?”

“What?” Ning Qing didn’t understand.

Lu Shaoming put the paper bags on the ground and strapped the watch on his wrist. “Magic. I shake it for three-seconds and the watch will be fine.”

Bullshit. Magic is all fake. Trying to fool me like I’m a three-year-old...

They stood at the corridor near the dorms. It was noon and there were female students walking back and forth. The female students saw Lu Shaoming and they covered their mouths as they exclaimed, “Wow!”

“Handsome uncle is going to perform a magic trick. Everyone, come and see.” The female students instantly surrounded the two of them.

Ning Qing was so unhappy about the situation. Uncle?!

She’d better watch her mouth!

A crowd gathered around Lu Shaoming. He was like a prince, descended from heaven. His lips arched into a flirtatious smile as his bright black eyes fixed on the figure before him. He said gently, “Look, I’m going to do it now. One, two, three...” He raised the watch and shook it three times. Then, he showed it to Ning Qing...

Ning Qing looked. The watch was really ticking!

The girls around them exclaimed again.

“Wow! This uncle is not performing a mere magic trick. He’s obviously playing tricks to make his girlfriend happy. This is so romantic. I’m so touched, I’m going to cry.”

Ning Qing’s delicate face blushed in embarrassment. He... What is he doing? Isn’t a thirty-year-old man behaving like this a bit childish?

Where’s his carriage?

Where’s his unapproachable elegance?

Where’s the dictatorial president?

She reckoned the watch wasn’t broken at all. He was only tricking her.

“Lu Shaoming, you! I... I’m no longer nineteen or twenty! I am twenty-one this year!” Ning Qing spat in anger before she turned and ran away.

Lu Shaoming looked at the shadow of the girl running away, he laughed.

...

The black Bentley drove along the bustling street. Ning Qing looked at the world on the other side of the window and her attention was suddenly caught by a Häagen-Dazs ice cream shop.

Häagen-Dazs was her favorite brand of ice cream. She walked along the street a month ago but this shop hadn’t been here.

Looking at the colorful ice cream display cabinet moving further and further away, Ning Qing held the window with both her hands and she watched the shadow of the shop pitifully.

Then, someone teased, “Want to eat ice cream? Don’t forget you are already twenty-one!”

Ning Qing stole a glance at the handsome man next to her via the mirror and asked, “What does age have to do with ice cream?”

“Oh.” She could hear the man’s magnetic yet lazy voice. “Twenty-one years old and married. She should lean more towards sugary things, such as, lollipops!” action

She immediately covered her face. She didn’t understand, she really didn’t understand!

...

Both of them had dinner with Yue Wanqing at the hospital. At seven at night, the Bentley was parked in a huge field. Ning Qing got out of the car and she was greeted with a European style villa with a dim yellow wall, blue roof and round windows.

Ning Qing was shocked. Although she knew that Lu Shaoming was rich, such a beautiful villa would only be seen in newspapers and magazines.

Lu Shaoming opened the door and walked in. Ning Qing quickly followed behind, “Madam.” There was a friendly aunt in the house.

“This is Aunt Zhang.” Lu Shaoming introduced her briefly.

Ning Qing immediately revealed a gentle and sweet smile. “Aunt Zhang, hello.”

“Hi Madam. Master has great taste. Madam looks young and beautiful.” Aunt Zhang smiled. The more she looked at Ning Qing, the happier she felt.

Ning Qing was caught off guard, being referred to as “Madam”.

Lu Shaoming held the paper bags with one hand and held her shoulder with another, and lead her upstairs. “This will be your house from today onwards. Hurry up and get used to it. The glass door in front of the living room downstairs leads to the swimming pool. There’s a master bedroom, guest bedroom, study, a wine cellar, and a movie theatre on the second floor. You can watch movies when you’re free. On the third floor, it there a full glass balcony. The about it. If there’s anything that you don’t like and want to change, change things to your liking. No need to go through me.”

Ning Qing looked around at the villa. The decor and furniture in the villa were exquisite and luxurious. On the stairs, she could see the chandelier in the living room. It was bright and it was not marred by a speck of dust. Even though the light wasn’t on, the deep luster was extremely brilliant.

Ning Qing was a hundred percent certain that he was the type of man who kept a low profile but he knew how to enjoy life.

“I know.” Ning Qing felt as though she fell into a golden pit. She felt anxious.

The two of them stood before a room and Lu Shaoming opened the door. “This is our bedroom. Let’s go in.”

Bedroom?

Ours?!

“Hold on,” Ning Qing stopped her footsteps and found it difficult to say, “Shaoming, can I stay in the guest bedroom?”

She refused to sleep with him.

Lu Shaoming removed his hand from her shoulders and put in his pocket. He raised his eyebrows and spat, “No!”

She stiffened.

“You can take the master bedroom, I’ll sleep in the guest bedroom,” the man said calmly.

Ning Qing beamed and lifted her gaze. She looked at the handsome man, who was a head taller than her. Right then, she couldn’t reveal her intention to smile, but she chuckled and said humbly, “Well, how can I have the gall to...”

“Let’s shower and go to bed early.”

Ning Qing quickly got into the room and blocked the door with her body. She grabbed the paper bags from his hand and said with a straight face, “I’m tired. I’m going to bed. Good night.”

She shut the bedroom door.

But the door couldn’t be closed, as man blocked the door with his hand.

“This is a credit card. Use it when you need it.” Lu Shaoming passed her a gold card.

Ning Qing hesitated but ended up extending her hand to take it. She already spent a lot of his money. If she were to start to take account of it now, it would be unreasonable.

She took the gold card and she was suddenly at loss for words.

In this embarrassing moment, Lu Shaoming touched her hair and got closer to kiss her forehead. “Didn’t you want to live well with me? Husband and wife don’t keep account of things between them. Feel at ease and take things when your husband gives them to you. Sleep tight, good night.”

...

Ning Qing took out the things from the paper bag and organized them in the room. The room was blue and white, simple yet warm.

There’s a walk-in wardrobe in the room. She opened the door and walked in. There were clothes for autumn and winter. The classic Chanel and elegant Dior, two big brands. There were LV bags and C, Gilson’s undergarments...

Besides the luxurious brands, she saw that the clothes were segregated into two categories in the wardrobe. One was simple yet fashionable wear where she could wear to go out, just like what she was wearing. Her favorite knitted wear and jeans.

They only knew each other for half a month and he already knew her style. He was willing to spend time and effort on her. He understands her, he takes care of her.

Ning Qing was touched. How could she repay him?

Then, “didn’t you want to live well with me?” reverberated in her ears. Yeah, she was his wife. His house, every excellent condition that he provided was right and proper.

And, she would work hard to carry out her duties as a wife.

Ning Qing’s face blushed.

Knock Knock

Someone knocked on the door.

Ning Qing ran to answer the door and Aunt Zhang stood at the door.

“Madam, Häagen-Dazs just sent ice cream over. Try it, see if it tastes good.”

Ning Qing looked at the plate in Aunt Zhang’s hands. There was a white delicate porcelain bowl on a golden-edged burner. It was filled with pure milk chocolate sauce in the bowl. There was matcha ice cream on the sauce and it was topped with a supple cherry.

It’s Häagen-Dazs ice cream fondue.

Ning Qing looked and started salivating.

She found it unbelievable. When they passed by the Häagen-Dazs’s shop earlier, Lu Shaoming teased her for her girly sense of taste. Then, he sent ice cream over.

“Madam, I told Master that he shouldn’t let you eat cold things at night but he said that you love it so it’d be okay so long as you don’t eat too much. Look just how much Master adores you.”

Ning Qing took the ice cream and she blushed. She stole a glance at the corridor and looked downstairs, but she didn’t see Lu Shaoming’s shadow.

Aunt Zhang saw Ning Qing’s behavior and she chuckled. “Madam, he’s in the study. He normally works ’til late at night. You can take a shower and sleep.”

Aiyo, she wasn’t waiting for him to come to bed.
