Ning Qing stiffened and looked at her mom’s gentle eyes, “Mom, the question that you were asking is meaningless. Even if Dad was tricked by Li Meiling that night, who forced him to have a sexual relationship with Li Meiling? Why did he do it the second time? Why did he hide the truth about Ning Yao? Why did he divorce you?”

Yue Wanqing lowered her gaze and tears flowed down her once beautiful cheeks.

“Mom, forget about Dad. Don’t have any hope for him. He already married Li Meiling and we started new lives, okay?”

“Mm.” Yue Wanqing nodded. “Qingqing, Mom entered the Ning family at eight years old. I have too much affection and memories with your dad, but your dad was too cruel to us. No longer will I hope that things can be made right again. I only hope that you will always live well. The rest is not important.”

Ning Qing’s eyes welled up with tears. Her mom was a classic old-fashioned woman. She supported her husband and educated her children for the past thirty-five years. She contributed her entire youth and life to the Ning family without regret.

My mom didn’t seek much in her life. She simply played her part as a wife while treating Ning Zhenguo as the sky. Then, her sky collapsed and for the rest of her life, she could only rely on her daughter.

However, just how many years could she live after the liver transplant?

Fate was always unfair to the woman. Her mom was in both agony and sorrow.

...

Yue Wanqing slept after having dinner. Ning Qing returned to the small room to take a shower.

She changed into a new set of clothes after a shower then she took out her phone to make a call.

Ring-ring. After a few rings, she heard a familiar male voice on the other end. “Hello.”

“Hello.” Ning Qing was suddenly embarrassed. She prepared to thank him, but when she heard his deep voice, she was at a sudden loss for words.

The conversation had yet to start and there was an awkward silence. In the end, it was Lu Shaoming who spoke first. “Ning Qing, let’s do a video call?”

“Huh? Video call?”

Suddenly, knock knock. There was a knock at the door.

Ning Qing went to answer the door. There was a female nurse and she was holding a very thin notebook in her hand. “Madam, it is President...”

That was fast.

Ning Qing hung up the phone and took the laptop. She then closed the door behind her.

The room didn’t have a desk so she put it on the coffee table. She knelt before the soft carpet and turned it on.

On the HD screen, she noticed a black desk, a real leather chair, and a bookshelf made of rose sandalwood. There was a sea of books printed in various languages arranged neatly on the shelf.

There was a European classic table light on the desk, luxurious yet simple. Ning Qing could tell right away that this place was elegantly minimalist.

A man was sat on the genuine leather chair. He wore a white shirt and black slacks. The first two buttons on his shirt were opened and it revealed the man’s healthy sun-kissed skin and sexy collarbones. His sideburns were deep and his jawline prominent. His elegance blended in well with the background. The image was like an old portrait of an English noble.

He was leaning on the real leather chair lazily. There was a stack of documents on the table with a pen right beside it. It looked like he was just working.

Ning Qing never thought that she would see him directly when she turned on the notebook. She was lazily supporting her head with her hand on the coffee table like a sleepy cat.

She suddenly sat properly and straightened her back.

The man took a few glances at her and frowned. “Why do you look so messy? Did you just shower?”

Ning Qing filled with embarrassment. She fanned her butterfly wings-like eyelashes. She wanted to say something to ease the awkwardness but she realized that the water on her wet hair was dripping onto the notebook.

Sigh!

He could look dapper at any meeting with but a minute’s notice, while she looked like a girl from a village.

“Hehe,” Ning Qing laughed drily as she took a soft towel to wipe off the water beads on the notebook. Then, pretending to wipe her hair, “Mm, just showered. Shaoming, thank you for today.”

Lu Shaoming watched the petite girl’s actions. He didn’t expose her but there was tender love in his bright black eyes. “It’s a good lesson that you learned today. You’ll be sure of success when you know your enemy and yourself.”

“Mm.” Ning Qing accepted his advice humbly. Her beautiful eyes were looking towards her man as she flashed a sweet smile. “But, how could you be so sure that I’d know?”

If she didn’t know what Zhu Rui meant at the press release, the show couldn’t go on.

Lu Shaoming smirked and said delightedly, “Of course I’d believe in the wife the I chose. My wife has always been smart and I knew that you’d do great.”

Was he complimenting her?

Her heart was filled with joy.

Suddenly, knock knock. Someone opened a door and a female doctor came in.

The female doctor thought Ning Qing was playing with her notebook and she didn’t pay much attention to it. She put the pink lingerie on Ning Qing’s bed, “Little Ning, my friend brought a few pairs of bra back from overseas. I think it’s quite nice so I took one that’d be your size. You’re 32C?”

Ning Qing blushed in embarrassment. How could they discuss such a sinful topic before him?

“Sis Mei, don’t need. I...”

“Why do you say you don’t need it? I already brought it for you.” Sis Mei was from Northeast of the country, which they were known for their straightforward. She measured Ning Qing up and down then said, “32C, it’s definitely a proper fit. You’re not even twenty-one yet and you’ve already filled out.” action

“Sis Mei...” Ning Qing wanted to cut her off.

“Little Ning, why are you so shy? When you get married and have a husband, your bust size would grow, let alone after you give birth to a baby and breastfeed...”

“Sis Mei!” Ning Qing was at the verge of losing control.

There happened to be someone calling for a doctor outside the door, “Little Ning, I’ll catch you later. I have work to do.” Sis Mei then left in a hurry.

Ning Qing let out a breath of relief. If Sis Mei continued to stay, who knows to what sort of fetched place that conversation might have gone. That was too embarrassing.

Ning Qing looked up at Lu Shaoming and she wanted to redirect the topic. However, the man on the other side was looking at the two lumps on her chest.

Ning Qing got a shock and she quickly crossed her arms in front of her chest. She then reprimanded, “Hey, Lu Shaoming, what are you looking at?”

Lu Shaoming’s long slender eyes were deep and dark. His voice sounded a little hoarse and his reply was short: “Boobs!”

“You!” Ning Qing never once imagined that Lu Shaoming, who was always a gentleman, would say such a word. She blushed and stuttered, “You, you... Shameless!”

“Heh,” Lu Shaoming leaned his back against the leather sofa as he took out a cigarette, crossed his legs, and lit it. He looked at ease. “I took a look at your chest and I’m shameless? My dear wife, where’s your marriage certificate?”

Ning Qing was at loss for words.

It seemed like, really, actually he was the reasonable one.

She was his wife. Her heart and her body belonged to him!

But...

She was shy. Her arms blocked her chest. She couldn’t take them away nor should she continue to cross her arms. In short, she couldn’t just show him so openly.

Then, she heard a female’s voice from the other side of the screen. “President Lu, do you want to shower now? Shall I fill the tub with warm water for you?”

Ning Qing found the voice very familiar. Then, she recalled that it was the same female voice that reminded him to go to a meeting in the afternoon.

Why would the female voice follow him from the meeting room to his private lodging? She was even preparing water for him to shower?!!

Ning Qing lifted her gaze. The man who was smoking didn’t say much about the female’s voice nor did he look up. He waved his left hand and beckoned for the person to leave. Then, it became quiet again.

Ning Qing became anxious. She smiled and asked leisurely, “Shaoming, who’s that woman?”

Lu Shaoming held the cigarette to his lip and took a breath. He raised his eyebrows and his slender black eyes gave out a distinct blossoming look. He glanced at her and haughtily said, “A friend gave her to me, a blue-eyed blonde beauty.”

What? Blonde beauty?

“Shaoming, why did they give you a beautiful woman for?” Ning Qing asked naively and innocently.

Lu Shaoming sat up and extended his right arm to ash his cigarette in the ashtray on the table. The girl knew how to pretend. Her beautiful eyes were filled with innocence and she looked like a student who was paying full attention in class.

He couldn’t reach her. Otherwise, he would have taken off her pants and given her a tight slap. She was the first one to try to act in front of him.

“What else? Wife, didn’t you see it across my face? Unfulfilled desire.”

Ning Qing’s scalp grew numb. His haughty look showed a man’s unrestrained primal nature. As he spoke, he looked at her brazenly.

“...” Ning Qing pretended to not understand.

“Ning Qing, I heard that there was an accident at the studio today. Were you hurt?” Lu Shaoming looked at the girl with rosy cheeks and asked.

“Nope but I realized that there’s a patch of redness on my shoulder. I reckon it was from the bullet.” Ning Qing touched her left shoulder.

The man’s voice was deep. “Is it serious? Let me see.”

“Mm.” Ning Qing was wearing a black singlet after she showered. She had a white shirt over it. So, she pushed aside her shirt and pulled down a single strap. She leaned sideways and moved her smooth shoulder towards the screen. She pointed and said, “It’s here. I’m okay but it’s just a little painful. I just put on some medicine.”

“Where? I can’t see,” the man from the other side said.

How could he not see? Ning Qing moved even closer to the screen, “It’s here.”

She looked sideways to look at him but she was stunned at the sight.

He was staring at her.

She studied his gaze. She didn’t notice when she pulled down her strap earlier. More than half of her chest was exposed.

She had a habit of not wearing many layers after a shower. Hence, there was nothing the singlet.

Ning Qing was dumbfounded and her blood started to boil. She’d never shown anyone her body even as an adult. She can’t show that to a man.

He made her think that he wanted to see her wound, but he only wanted to take petty advantage of her.

She got conned.

Lu Shaoming saw that the girl’s beautiful eyes were like rippling water in the autumn, covered with a bright mist. She was like an injured deer looking at him embarrassedly and helplessly.

“Why, why are you upset?” Lu Shaoming realized that his voice was hoarse and his lips were dry. He licked his lips and frowned.

How could this twenty-one year old girl be so innocent? She would blush when they did anything intimate. Then, he only took a look at her and it was as though he’d done something evil.

Ning Qing didn’t want to talk to him. She bit her lips with her white teeth until she started to bleed.

“Ning Qing, stop that. Don’t you know you’re hurting yourself?” Lu Shaoming spoke angrily. His Adam’s apple rolled vigorously as the girl didn’t know just how charming her innocent look was.

It would have been better if he’d kept quiet. The moment he spoke, the tears welled up in Ning Qing eyes and flowed down her cheeks. Bastard, he looked at her and had the guts to scold her!

To people who bullied her, she could attack them wisely and calmly. But she was a young lady and had never been in such a situation. She was dealing with him and it was so embarrassing.

She didn’t know if she should pull up her clothes. Her chest was exposed and she could only cover it with her hand.

Her tears flowed down quietly.

Lu Shaoming saw that she was really crying and there was a flash of anxiety on his face. He spoke gently as he didn’t know how to comfort a girl. His voice sounded strained as he said, “Wife, sorry. I didn’t see much. I’ll forget it, okay?”

Ning Qing sniffed and pouted. Her tender voice retorted, “Liar, you already saw.”

Lu Shaoming saw her hand and his body grew very uncomfortable.

There was an image in his head. Her collarbone was very beautiful. It was soft and gentle and there was a little pit. The strap glided down from her shoulder and her smooth milky skin was exposed before him. She had a young maiden’s beauty.

She was really stunning.

So beautiful that it was suffocating.

He who was skilled in debate was suddenly at loss for words. He saw that the girl slowly put her clothes back on and stopped crying. “I’ve shown you what you want to see. So, you can’t look at the blonde beauty.” She sounded very unhappy.

Lu Shaoming paused for a while and suddenly started to laugh hysterically. His young wife was like a book that could never be finished. She was constantly giving him surprises.

“Yes, wife.” Lu Shaoming quickly changed the topic so that she wouldn’t feel awkward. “Who do think was the person who left the gun there? Who wanted to hurt you? What do you plan to do?”

“Mm, I’m certain that it was Li Meiling. Between the attempt on my life and the press release later on, she would have been able to remove us both in one fell swoop. It was a pity that the filming studio was so crowded. We filed a police report but they have yet to find any clues. Street Walker is ending soon and we’re all busy. Hence, we could only set the matter aside for now.”

“At the press release today, Li Meiling was utterly discredited. She wouldn’t be able to cause any trouble now. Until I finish Street Walker, I will take care of Ning Yao. The pair of mother and daughter have wronged me; they’ll see justice, one by one.”

“Mm.” Lu Shaoming nodded. “Wait for me to return. I’ll back you up.”
