Ning Qing, I Don’t Have Time to Wait for You
Ning Qing could not hide her surprise. “He wants me to go?”
“Yes.”
Lu Zhui went forward and placed the gift box on the table. With a glance, he knew that it was an expensive luxury brand.
“You can take some time to dress up. I’ll pick you up tonight.”
He wanted to leave, but he was stopped by Ning Qing.
Emotions surged in her eyes as she said coldly, “What does he mean?”
Noticing Ning Qing’s suspicious gaze, Lu Zhui explained, “Young Madam, don’t misunderstand. It’s indeed a special occasion today and I need you to attend.”
Seeing the guard on Ning Qing’s face fade, Lu Zhui nodded and turned to leave.
“…”
Ning Qing did not understand.
After she and Nian Lie parted on bad terms a few days ago, his and Bai Yang’s scandal had become very heated. He had even heard her admit to their relationship…
Was he bringing her to the gathering to embarrass her?
She pursed her lips and reached out to open the box’s lid. Her puzzled gaze landed on the long dress.
The pure white muslin dress was folded neatly. There were some diamonds on her chest, decorating her upper body perfectly. It was not tacky and even looked pure and elegant.
Her fair fingertips caressed the material. It was soft and smooth.
A hint of surprise flashed across Ning Qing’s eyes. Then, she thought of something and her expression suddenly became sarcastic.
Wasn’t this Ning Su’s style in the photo?
Her lips curled up weakly and she instantly lost all interest.
However, Ning Qing knew better than anyone that Nian Lie would not let her do as she pleased.
Therefore, in the afternoon, she still dressed up. She took a shower and hair, put on some light makeup, and waited for Lu Zhui to pick her up.
At 6 o’clock sharp.
Lu Zhui came.
He stood at the bottom of the stairs and listened to the footsteps above. He asked, “Young Madam, are you ready?”
The sound of high heels hitting the ground was light and heavy. Lu Zhui frowned and looked up.
Ning Qing was wearing a long, black shoulderless dress. The dress was short in front and long behind, revealing her slender calves. She was wearing black high heels. Her hair, which had just passed her shoulders, was coiled into a bun. A lock of hair hung by her face, and her red lips were fiery. Her waist was slender, and her figure swayed.
Lu Zhui had followed Nian Lie for many years and had seen more women than carps crossing the river. However, he was still stunned by her.
Ning Qing was undoubtedly beautiful.
Furthermore, she was breathtakingly beautiful. There was no need for too many embellishments, as she could make a person look at her for ten thousand years.
Especially her bright eyes. The ends of her eyes were raised and looked a little similar to those of a fox. When she glanced at you gently, you would feel as if your entire body was electrified. It was a myriad of emotions.
Her slender fingers were on the handrail of the corridor. When she passed by Lu Zhui, he grunted in response. Lu Zhui then returned to his senses and quickly lowered his head. “The car is already waiting outside.”
“Yes.”
Ning Qing did not stop and walked straight out.
The sun had just set and orange light covered the ground.
Lu Zhui followed after her. “Young Madam, that’s…”
Before he could finish, Ning Qing had already opened the door.
In the car, the man’s handsome face was carved like a blade and his figure was slender. He was wearing a black suit with a bow tie of the same color, looking calm and reserved.
Hearing this, Nian Lie turned his head and saw Ning Qing’s slightly surprised expression.
His dark eyes sized her up, and his handsome brows were locked tightly. “What are you wearing?”
Ning Qing’s hand was still holding the car door as she looked at him coldly. “Isn’t it obvious enough? A gown.”
Nian Lie clenched his fists. That exposed shoulder stimulated his senses.
“…”
Ning Qing could see that he was dissatisfied.
“If you don’t like it, I won’t go…”
“Get in.”
Nian Lie’s eyes were clearly dyed with a stern expression, but his actions were the opposite of his emotions.
He moved aside.
When he turned around and saw that Ning Qing was standing still, his expression darkened.
“Ning Qing, I don’t have time to wait for you.”
Ning Qing’s plan fell through. She could only listen to him and get into the car.
