When Xiao Zhou heard Ning Qing’s words, she immediately elbowed her. “Aiyo, are you neglecting your friends when smitten with love?”

“When did I? How about you do your own thing?”

“Forget it. Ning Qing, are you thinking of electrocuting me to death?”

Ning Qing did not continue speaking, her small, snow-white earlobes had already turned red. Yesterday, they decided on a dinner date; it was their first official date.

Xiao Zhou saw Ning Qing being shy and still wanted to continue teasing her. But at this moment. “How are you? Are you Big Director Ning Qing?” A girl walked over to them.

Ning Qing lifted her gaze to look at the person. She was a girl around 20 years old/ She was dressed in a mustard yellow dress, and she looked innocent and beautiful.

Ning Qing could not help but give her two more glances. This girl seemed a little familiar. Oh, it turned out that she resembled her a little.

Ning Qing’s heart was full of excitement. This girl looked like Ning Qing 3 years ago. She looked inexperienced with a touch of quick wittedness.

“You are?” Ning Qing asked.

The girl looked at Ning Qing. Her eyes were beautiful, and she said, “Ning Qing, how are you? My name is Liu Ling. I am Liu Wenlong’s distant relative. I was just talking to him on the phone, and I heard that he came over here to attend an interview. You are signing contracts now, so I came to ask for an interview. I don’t have any requirements with regards to work, so I am not afraid of working hard. I hope that Director Ning would give me a chance. I can start with minor roles and work from there.”

Ning Qing looked at Liu Ling, and had a plain smile. “Sorry, we are full here.”

She used one line to reject her.

Liu Ling’s eyes dimmed. She stepped forward to beg. “Director Ning, I beg you to give me a chance. I will really work hard...”

“I am sorry.” Ning Qing said to interrupt her, “I still have other work to complete.” She turned around to sit on her own office chair.

“Miss, we don’t need manpower now. Please go.” Xiao Zhou said to chase her away.

Liu Ling looked again at Ning Qing and then turned to leave.

After waiting for Liu Ling to leave, Xiao Zhou said to Ning Qing, “Ning Qing, why didn’t you want to sign Liu Ling? She is quite beautiful and resembles the way you looked a few years back. Even if you let her act as a maid or a pretty figure in the background, that would do.”

Ning Qing flipped the document in her hand and did not lift her head up. With a hint of laziness, she said, “Xiao Zhou, Liu Ling said that she was Liu Wenlong’s distant relative right?”

“That’s right.”

“That says a few things about Liu Ling. Even if she did not come from the mountains, her family background must not be too good, but you look at her western inspired style of dress. When compared to that plain and simple Li Yi just now, they simply cannot be considered in the same league. She said that she could start with minor roles, but do you really think that she would be willing to act as a palace maid?”

“That makes sense, haha. Ning Qing, you are still the one who is better at seeing through others.”

Ning Qing sighed and said, “Xiao Zhou, managing a team is an arduous task. We need to first confirm the purity of the team. Those people with scheming hearts – we will definitely not use them.”

...

Liu Ling walked back out to the corridor feeling aggrieved. At this moment, a man came walking towards her.

The man was dressed in a white shirt and business casual pants. The handmade premium material of cloth made the man look handsome beyond words. His calm and confident demeanour and stride were impeccable. His handsome face, which was akin to a sculpture, cultivated a mature air of a masculine appeal.

Liu Ling’s gaze immediately turned to this handsome man. This man’s pheromones were in the air; he attracted women’s gazes like a magnet, and he made others hearts palpitate when they chanced upon him. The man walked over and then brushed past her...

Lu Shaoming did not notice her. In his eyes, he probably did not see any other woman in the world besides Ning Qing.

He spent the past 31 years doing just so.

Lu Shaoming walked away, and Liu Ling lightly bit her pink lips. She was shy and, she heard someone softly discussing the man. “Was that Young Master Lu just now? Wow, he is really gentle, handsome, and rich. He is the premium product among the top 5 diamond bosses.”

“That’s right, whoever he falls in love with would be so blissful. Even if she doesn’t fall in love with him, having a chance to interact with him intimately would an ultimately blissful matter.”...

Liu Ling entered the elevator in a blur. At this moment, the phone in her pocket rang. She took it out to have a look, and she was immediately struck by awe.

...

Ning Qing was discussing the matters regarding Island Wide Entertainment Media with Xiao Zhou. At this moment, a handsome figure entered into her line of sight. Ning Qing looked sideways and immediately had wide grin on her face. “Shaoming, you are here!”

“Yeah.” Lu Shaoming hummed and lifted his foot to step inside.

“Young Master Lu, Ning Qing, I have some work to go take care of.” Xiao Zhou was very self-aware. She did not want to be a third wheel, so she took her bag and left.

After Xiao Zhou left, there were only 2 people left in the office. Lu Shaoming sat in the seat by the door and did not move. Ning Qing took the initiative to walk towards his side. “Shaoming.” Ning Qing stretched out her small hand to tug on his shirt sleeve.

The man channelled his gaze downwards. She was wearing white flats today, and she was shorter than him by a block. His deep shining eyes quietly looked at her. In his eyes, a warm gentleness slowly came seeping out.

Ning Qing’s heart accelerated when she saw his gaze.

No matter how long they were together, in front of him, she was always like a sheet of blank paper. This 30 year old matured man... He had money, power and superiority, and one look from him would be enough to turn anyone upside down.

Ning Qing held onto his shirt even tighter.

Lu Shaoming stretched out his large hand and slowly touched her small, pure, white face. Her body was much warmer today. Her small face felt gentle and soft to the touch. It was especially comfortable, and he lowered his tone and asked, “Are you done with work? Should we go have a meal?”

“Okay.” Ning Qing nodded her head and said softly, “Shaoming, I’m going to go change my outfit. Wait for me for a while.”

“Sure.”

...

Lu Shaoming stood along the corridor to wait for the girl. She was all that was on his mind since she lifted her head to look at him just now. Her small face was blushing red, and her two eyes were full of awe.

She liked him very much.

His lips curled up without his notice, and he jubilantly let out a light laugh. At this moment, there was a couple that walked by. The girl had her hands on the boy’s elbow and she was acting cute towards him. “Dear, give me a kiss ok?”

The boy looked at Lu Shaoming awkwardly. “Dear, don’t make a fuss, there is someone here.”

The girl chattered on unhappily, “What are you scared of? Who would not be like this when they are dating? Kissing and being intimate, and wanting to stick with one another for the entire day...”

The couple walked into the distance.

Lu Shaoming felt his face become a little red. He has never dated before. He did not have much experience, and he also did not know if every couple would be like the couple he just saw.

Lu Shaoming cleared his throat and felt uncomfortable.

At this moment, “Shaoming.” Ning Qing arrived.

He turned his head to look. The girl had changed into a white top and denim overalls. She folded the ends of the jeans and revealed her fair calf and her white flats below. She plaited her hair into a fishbone plait that drooped below the left side of her chest, and had the rest in a sparse fringe on her forehead. She looked pure and beautiful.

Lu Shaoming looked at her and froze for a moment. The girl walked over.

“Shaoming, let’s go.”

“...Okay.”

The two of them left side by side.

Ning Qing walked on the right side of the man. She looked sideways at the man and asked, “Shaoming, where are we going to eat?” All Lu Shaoming saw in his eyes was her left hand. She had a fashionable yellow small bag in her left hand. The thin strap was curled around her white finger, and it was incredibly attractive.

Distracted, he said, “Um, you decide.”

So the girl rattled off a list of delicious restaurants.

Lu Shaoming secretly took out his hands from his trousers pockets and dropped them by his sides. His right hand moved, wanting to hold on to her small hand.

It wouldn’t be overboard to hold her hand when they were dating right?

Thinking about this like that, his right hand approached her, and even closer...

When he was about to touch her, the small delicate face of the girl suddenly neared in front of his eyes and said, “Shaoming, what are you thinking about? I said your name so many times, but you didn’t reply.”

Lu Shaoming quickly withdrew his hand and stealthily inserted it back into his trousers pocket.

He wanted to hold onto her hand but did not succeed. He even almost got caught by her. This was a little embarrassing for a 30 year old man to accept, as he was typically cold and sharp in the corporate world. There suddenly came a young small and tender girlfriend by his side; it made him feel at a loss.

He was afraid that if he was being too tough on her, she would feel that he was being frivolous, but if he was light on her, it would make himself feel uncomfortable yet tempted.

This feeling was really uncomfortable.

“Nothing much. Have you placed a reservation? The elevator is here. Let’s hurry.” He took a big step forward.

Ning Qing looked at his back and he seemed to be deep in thought. Today, this man was acting a little weird!

...

The two chose a restaurant to have a meal. The waiter served the dishes inside the private room. Ning Qing looked at the man beside her and said, “Shaoming, I heard Xiao Zhou say that you have invested a huge amount of money into Island Wide Entertainment Media. Then you have transferred the shares under my name.”

Lu Shaoming held the soup spoon to scoop a small bowl of soup and place it in front of Ning Qing, and his expression was plain when he nodded his head. “Yeah.”

“Shaoming, are you giving it directly to me? Why?”

That man looked at the girl casually. His thin lips pursed lightly while he said, “To raise you up.”

Ning Qing’s heart felt like it had been dipped in honey. Her cheeks had a warm glow on them. She had a mouthful of the soup that he had placed in front of her, and she said sweetly, “I already let the employees of Island Wide Entertainment Media return the money back to you. As long as you don’t create a mess. I will sign a contract with Island Wide tomorrow.”

The man’s hand that was holding the chopsticks froze and he slightly raised his eyebrows to ask, “Why did you want to return the money?” They were dating now. Whose money it was makes no difference. She could cut down on her workload in the future, and he could afford to help her.

Ning Qing looked at the man with her eyebrows curved. She winked playfully and whined, “Shao,ing, how am I so easy to raise? Don’t use that little amount to think about bribing me!”

Lu Shaoming knew that she did not want to use his money.

This small, soft figure had her own independence and pride, and now she had her own standing in the entertainment industry. She could totally take care of herself with her abilities, so she did not want to rely on him.

If someone worked a little hard, the results would not necessarily attract his attention, but her determined attitude in life made Lu Shaoming look at her with more admiration in his eyes.

There was a saying: Those that strive unremittingly would earn other’s respect, a woman that was striving so unremittingly would earn even more respect. The latter applied to her.

Two of them were educated individuals. When they ate, they chewed slowly and spoke occasionally. The atmosphere was good, and Ning Qing used her hand to deshell a crab, and she placed it in his bowl. “Shaoming, I added a bit of sauce, you try it and see if it is nice.”

Lu Shaoming lifted his gaze to look at her. Beside her beautiful lips there was a succulent piece of rice.

“Here.” He pointed at it.

“What?” The girl did not understand.

Lu Shaoming put his chopsticks down. His strong arm stretched over, and his large, calloused hand directly covered her pitifully small, soft face.
