God knows how long they’d been kissing before he let her go.

Ning Qing lay in his embrace with her rosy cheeks. Her voice grew soft as there were things that she found embarrassing to say, but she still wanted to. “Shaoming, the night before yesterday, how did you know... I’m not willing to? Any girl with no experience... They’d cry and they’d feel... embarrassed and scared, right? I don’t think there’d be anyone who would say... Would say I want, I want...”

Lu Shaoming pressed his thin lips against her forehead. He had not touched her for two days. In his happy voice, there was satisfaction. “Why all I saw was, I want, I want.”

Saw?

Ning Qing suddenly lifted her head. She pouted as she questioned him, “You.. Where did you see? You liar. You just told me that you’ve never touched another woman before!”

She looked extremely adorable when she was angry. She puffed up her cheeks angrily and he pinched her cheeks affectionately. “What man hasn’t seen any films? The women in the films were all passionate. There are none like you who shivers whenever someone touches you.”

Ning Qing quickly punched him with her hand. “Obscene!”

She never thought a man like him, who was a gentleman born in an influential and wealthy family, would watch those things!

Lu Shaoming laughed and pulled the unhappy girl into his embrace. He kissed her face and coaxed, “They aren’t as beautiful as you are. Wife, you’re the most beautiful one there is!”

Beautiful, what sort of beautiful?

He wasn’t shameful at all!

Ning Qing’s crystal clear eyes beamed with joy. Her insecure heart cool down in his warm embrace as she lifted the corners of her lips slowly. She moved her hand that was originally on his chest downwards and hugged his waist tightly. She asked timidly, “Shaoming, are we good now?”

“Mm, we are. Actually, I never planned to give you the cold shoulder, nor did I want to make a stranger of you. Who would have known that you would throw such a great tantrum this time and cry so much? Normally, you’re an unyielding warrior of a woman. The only time I saw you crying like that was outside your mom’s ward. I never thought you’d cry like that today.”

Ning Qing sniffled and sounded rather aggrieved. “I admitted that I got jealous today. I threw a tantrum and I slapped you. These things are all my fault. My mom was angry then and I thought my mom didn’t want me anymore. I was afraid and I didn’t know what to do. Same goes for today. I thought you didn’t want me, I... I don’t want to lose you...”

“Lu Shaoming, whatever I do wrong... you can point it out for me to change gradually, but you provoked me first. You can’t give me up. You have to be nice to me.”

Lu Shaoming lifted her chin with two fingers and the girl was shy. Her beautiful eyes didn’t know where to look but she didn’t dare to look at him.

“Ning Qing, in your heart, am I as important as your mom?”

“Mm!” Ning Qing nodded without hesitation. “The other day when I got paid, I went to the mall and bought you a shirt before anything else. Then, I bought a massager for my mom. In the end, I’d only bought myself... a bra. Shaoming, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want our family to stay together forever... Mm.”

The man pressed his lips on hers again.

Then, he was kissing her harder as though he were telling her that he was very excited, very happy. He wanted to take her deep into his arms and take care of her, to love her.

Ning Qing gripped his shirt on his waist and endured his pressure quietly and gently. The man flipped over and grabbed the back of her head to deepen the kiss.

When he let go of her, Ning Qing was panting. Lu Shaoming buried his head into her neck. In her sensitive ears, she could hear him sniffing her scent against her skin.

Breathe in and breathe out. In his admiration, there was a mature man’s unrestrained and willful behavior.

Ning Qing shivered as she straightened her calves. She felt an electric current flow through her body.

“Today, when the other person asked if you had a boyfriend, why did you say no?” Lu Shaoming talked about the matter that bothered him.

“I don’t have a boyfriend; I only have a husband.” Ning Qing hugged his head and closed her eyes as she touched his sculpted face with her hands. She slapped his left cheek and it must have hurt. Actually, she hurt too. Her hand hurt, as well as her heart.

She moved her hand upwards along his sideburns. Ning Qing felt the stiffness in his hair as she swept through it with her fingers.

His stubble was prickly yet gentle.

Every part of the man’s body was delicate.

“Mm, did you really come to bring me home?” He asked again.

“Yeah, I’ve been trying to cheer you up since yesterday. Can’t you tell?”

Lu Shaoming looked at the dark circles under her beautiful eyes. It must be from the previous night when he had kicked her out of his study room and she didn’t sleep well.

His heart melted. He likes it when his wife likes him.

D*mn it. How dare he be in doubt of her heart!

He got up from her body and kissed her face. “I’m sorry, my wife. It’s all my fault. I guarantee that this will only happen once. It’ll never happen again in the future.”

“Mm.” Ning Qing buried herself in his arm. She was exhausted. Earlier when he was kissing her, she felt so comfortable that she wanted to sleep. Then, leaning in his arms, she loathed to open her eyes.

Lu Shaoming rubbed her face gently and said affectionately, “My wife, sleep. I’ll only go back to my room after you fall asleep.”

Ning Qing, with her eyes closed, extended her hand to pull his sleeve. “It’s too late. You might wake Mom up. Don’t go; sleep here.”

“This is what you wanted,” Lu Shaoming pecked her tender lips. His lowered magnetic voice was so enchanting. He probed, “I’ll sleep on the sofa in the room?”

“... But only this room has a blanket.”

“Heh, Hehe...” Lu Shaoming chuckled happily. His wife loathed to part with him and wanted him to sleep with her.

Ning Qing buried herself deeper in his chest while Lu Shaoming held her tightly in his arms. He dimmed the lights in the room and blissfully hugged her to sleep.

...

Xu Junxi was drinking at a pub. He poured a strong cocktail down his throat and the fire in his chest raged.

Ning Yao had once again disappointed him. She had been innocent and charming in his impression. He never thought she would attempt to seduce Lu Shaoming behind his back. What did it mean? Lu Shaoming was too charming.

No wonder Ning Qing fell for him in such a short period of time.

Ning Qing, Ning Qing...

Xu Junxi muttered the name and his heart felt as though he were being stabbed over and over again. Ning Yao only made him angry, but Ning Qing made his heart ache. He was in so much pain!

Who is Ning Qing? Xu Junxi knew it better than anyone else. She carried an innocent attitude towards the world and she lived with pride.

Three years ago, she had been kicked out from the Ning family’s house. He knew that she went to look for his mom but his mom had said terrible things. Over the three years after, no matter how tough and tiring her life, she never once stepped foot in Xu’s house.

Even when she was taking roles as an extra, she never once begged him for anything even though he was the CEO of Emperor Entertainment Group.

It was because she disdained to let go of her elegance to receive charity. She had to live with pride. She didn’t allow herself to be in a fix.

But during the dinner banquet... Just how bad of a situation was she putting herself in?

Normally, she was so elegant and presentable. A person who was so well-spoken knocked into everyone in the hall, ran in tears for the exit, fell on the ground, stubbornly gave Lu Shaoming a tight slap, then chased after Lu Shaoming and spread her hand to him with tearing eyes to tell him how much it hurt.

Ning Qing that night was not the Ning Qing Xu Junxi knew.

He found her a stranger that night.

He could tell that she was anxious, lonely and helpless. She wasn’t like a hedgehog but like a twenty-year-old girl who was crying her lungs out.

If... If she would have been willing to treat him like that for the past three years... If she were to have let go of her ego driven imperative to question him when he was involved in sex scandals and would have cried to make him stay, maybe they wouldn’t be where they are now.

But why did she do everything, that she hadn’t done to him, to Lu Shaoming?

Then, Ning Qing’s reply earlier echoed in his mind. “I love Lu Shaoming, I love him”. Heh, did she really fall for Lu Shaoming?

Who the hell was he then?

What was their twenty-year relationship then?

Xu Junxi was drunk and his sight grew blurry. He looked up and saw a girl walking past him. White shirt and jeans, just like Ning Qing.

“Ning Qing.” Xu Junxi pulled the girl onto his lap. He closed his eyes to kiss the girl.

The girl was frightened. She pushed and hit him as she struggled. “Who are you, let go of me.”

Xu Junxi frowned. He took out his wallet from his suit and slapped it on the table. He slurred, “Ning Qing, I have money. I’ll give you all my money. Be with me, okay? Heh, I did so many times with Ning Yao but not once I’m happy. My head is filled with you. I kissed your lips once when I was with the young model. You smelled so good, Ning Qing. Let me kiss you.”

Xu Junxi wanted to kiss the girl again but the girl’s boyfriend charged over and pulled the girl from Xu Junxi’s embrace. He then landed a heavy punch on him.

After a chaotic scene, Xu Junxi lied on the ground.

“How dare you harass my woman. I’ll kill you!” The girl’s boyfriend kicked Xu Junxi a few times before he brought the girl away.

Everyone in the bar surrounded him and pointed at Xu Junxi on the ground.

Xu Junxi looked at the chandelier above his head. No matter how much his body hurt, it couldn’t surpass the pain in his heart. “Heh, hehe...” He took out his phone from his pocket.

Lu Shaoming was a light sleeper. Hence, he quickly opened his eyes when the phone rang.

He moved, “mm...” The girl in his arm was still sleeping soundly but pulled him tighter in her arms. She creased her eyebrows and pouted. “Who is it? It’s so noisy...”

Lu Shaoming kissed Ning Qing’s forehead and comforted her. He looked up and saw Ning Qing’s phone ringing on the side table.

He extended his arm and took the phone. It was Xu Junxi calling.

He lowered his eyes to look at the girl in his arm. He slid to answer the call.

“Hello, Ning Qing. You told me that you fell in love with Lu Shaoming today. Is it true? I don’t trust you. I don’t trust you. I know you’re just doing this to make me angry...”

“Ning Qing, let’s start this again. Whatever I may owe Ning Yao, I’ll repay slowly. But Ning Qing, don’t leave me. I... I love you...”

Lu Shaoming didn’t even frown. Xu Junxi drank and he could tell from his voice. He hung up the phone calmly and turned off the phone.

There was a busy tone from the other side of the phone and Xu Junxi quickly called again. However, there was a robotic female voice. “Sorry, the number that you have dialed is currently switched off.”

Xu Junxi’s right arm that was holding his phone grew weak and he fell on the ground helplessly. There was heat in the corner of his eyes, and when he touched them he realized that there were tears flowing out.

He cried.

...

Ning Qing woke up later the next morning. When she woke up, Lu Shaoming wasn’t there.

When she walked out of her room, she could hear the piano playing. It was from Grandma’s room.

Where’s the piano?

Ning Qing walked over to see.

Grandma’s room’s door was open. She didn’t know when the white piano was put into the room, but Lu Shaoming was sitting by the piano as he played a song on the black and white keys.

Grandma sat next to Lu Shaoming as she pressed on the keys curiously. Yue Wanqing put the hot milk on the table and walked over to stop her. “Mom, don’t disturb. Let Shaoming play a song for you.”

“It’s okay Mom, let Grandma play,” Lu Shaoming said.

Grandma had originally kept her guard up around Lu Shaoming, but now she was laughing happily. She played two notes on the left side of the piano with her fingers and Lu Shaoming played according to the tune she played. After some time, Ning Qing could tell that they were actually playing the Little White Poplar.

With such relaxing and melodious music, Grandma’s occasionally singing was quite harmonious too. Yue Wanqing smiled widely as she clapped along as taught Grandma how to sing.

A little white poplar, growing by the guard post.

Deep-rooted, strong branches, keeping watch of the border.

Ning Qing’s heart was racing. It had been three years since she’d last seen Mom and Grandma happily smiling together. They were glowing under the morning sunlight with such beautiful smiles on their faces.

Ning Qing fixed her gaze on Lu Shaoming. He was in his usual white shirt and black slacks. His sideburns were neatly trimmed. She admired his handsome sculpted face and his elegant demeanor. She didn’t know he knew how to play piano. A man like him was top dog in the business circle but was innocent like a pure jade when he played piano.

As she looked at his fingers dancing on the black and white keys, she found it a pleasant view.

Ning Qing couldn’t help but lift the corners of her lips. It was already seven, yet he was entertaining her grandma and her mom. Didn’t he need to head to the office?

Her heart felt like it was glazed with honey because of him.

“Qingqing.” Then, Yue Wanqing saw her and waved. “You woke up? We were waiting for you to have breakfast. I wanted to wake you up but Shaoming said to let you sleep.”

Yue Qanqing’s eyes were happy.

The music stopped and Ning Qing walked over with a few small steps. She was too shy to look at her man. She didn’t want him to see her welled-up eyes.

Ning Qing walked to her grandma and lowered her body. “Grandma, did you sleep well last night?”

“Yeah, very well.” Grandma nodded happily. Then, Grandma looked at Lu Shaoming by her side cautiously. “Qingqing, who is he?”

Because Grandma was sitting next to Lu Shaoming, when she squatted down she could see the man’s long legs in her periphery. She blushed slightly.

“Grandma, he’s Lu Shaoming. He is Qingqing’s... Husband. We are married. He’s your grandson-in-law,” Ning Qing said sweetly.
