“Babe, are you hungry?” There were only the two of them in the relaxation room, and she heard his low,hoarse voice; his tone was very gentle.

Ning Qing buried her tiny, burning-hot face under the collar of his shirt. She did not dare look into his eyes. She nodded her head, mewed like a little kitten, and replied, “Yeah.”

“Shall we go to eat dinner then? Where do you want to go for dinner?”

“Anywhere.”

“It is not healthy to keep going out to eat. Shall we...” The expression in the man’s eyes darkened and he continued,”...eat at home?”

“At home?” Ning Qing was puzzled. “Which home?”

The warmth on her body disappeared, and Lu Shaoming stood up. He got off the bed, and he turned his back towards her. His well-defined hand smoothed his shirt. “Then let us just go out to eat.”

Was he upset right now?

Ning Qing was confused by his actions.

He was behaving fine just a bit ago.

Her small head whizzed around, and Ning Qing suddenly thought — Could he actually... want to bring her back to the condominium unit that he was living in right now?

He wanted to...live together with her?

“Pfft...” Ning Qing could not control herself and laughed out loud.

This complicated old man...

After hearing her laughter, the man turned around. The white shirt he was in made his shoulders look broad and his waist look slim. There was a metal belt aroundhis waist, and a luxury watch on his wrist, it was a famous international brand, and it was low key but luxurious. There were creases on his trousers that added to his style, and he looked elegant and mesmerizing.

He had one hand in his pocket, and he had a frown on his face while he looked at her. His plain tone could not cover the pampering feelings that he had for her when he said, “What are you laughing about, hmm?”

Ning Qing jumped down on the ground from the bed. She rushed into his embrace with bare feet as she pouted while she acted coy towards him. “Shaoming, you have been dating me for such a long period of time. Do you want to come to my house for dinner tonight?”

The man’s dark, sparkling eyes had two bright streams of fire in them, and he curled up his lips while he nodded his head. “Okay.”

...

The two of them left the office and boarded the Bentley. The car slowly drove onto the brightly lit main streets, and Lu Shaoming turned his head to ask, “Ning Qing, do you know who is the mastermind behind the matter involving Liu Ling? Who wanted to harm you?”

Ning Qing’s expression was normal as she gurgled in laughter. “I am so popular in the entertainment industry right now, there are too many people who would want to harm me. I do not know who is it for now. After I get through this difficult time, I will go to investigate who it is.”

“Okay.” Lu Shaoming nodded his head. “If you need my help, just say so.”

“Okay.” She would definitely need his help in the future.

Ning Qing saw the road in front of her was not the road to the Ning family home. She was puzzled as she asked, “Shaoming, where are you taking me?”

“We are going to the department store to buy some presents. It is the first time that I am meeting your parents, how can I go empty handed? It would be very impolite to do so.” The man replied.

Ning Qing felt sweet inside her heart. This was a necessary step when dating, meeting each other’s parents.

Heh.

He valued her parents greatly, and that showed how much he valued her.

....

The two of them went into the department store, and Lu Shaoming held onto her small hand. The two of them had both of their hands interlocked as they went shopping around the department store.

The girl was very excited on the entire journey. She wanted to touch everything that she saw. It was the behaviour of a young girl; she was bubbly and cheerful.

“Ning Qing, what do your parents like? We have shopped around for one hour and have not bought anything yet. We have to speed up.” The man hurried her.

“Shaoming, isn’t shopping just about walking around? What speed are you talking about? You normally do not have time to accompany me to shop around. It is not easy for us to come to shop. Just accompany me patiently this time, okay?” Ning Qing tugged on the sleeve of his shirt as she acted cute.

Lu Shaoming pinched her small supple face as he asked, “Aren’t you an adult? How come you are still behaving like a small girl?”

“Isn’t a small girl good? I still have to give birth to a baby girl for you in the future.”

“You don’t know how to be shy.” The man placed one hand in his pocket, and he lowered his gaze down to glance at her. That arrogant expression he had was as if he were saying — who wants to have a baby with you?

But there was a hint of happiness his eyes, like the stars in the night sky, sparkling and attractive.

Her behaviour now was like his daughter. If she gave birth to a daughter for him in the future, then he would have two daughters to take care of.

Lu Shaoming lifted up his eyebrows and suddenly felt that this was probably also a pretty good plan.

He would pamper both of them.

Ning Qing grunted and said sweetly, “If someone has the ability to do so, then he can’t do some embarrassing things to me.”

Lu Shaoming added more strength to pinch her small hand that was soft and almost boneless. They were in a department store, and he threatened her to not repeat what she said one more time.

Ning Qing smiled like a blooming flower while she placed her small head on the man’s strong shoulder. It was so blissful like this, she wanted to stay like this with him like this for a long time.

The two of them shopped around for another hour, and Ning Qing picked two small gifts for Lu Shaoming to buy. While she was waiting, she turned around to realize that there was a jewellery store behind her.

There were many types of couples’ rings in the cabinet of the jewellery store.

She walked forward and touched the sparkling glass. Both her eyes were bright and shining as she looked at the different ring designs. She suddenly felt regret; her and Lu Shaoming did not have wedding rings.

Lu Shaoming did not give her one.

Actually, she wanted one very much.

Women all liked jewelry and accessories. She was also very old fashioned, so naturally she also liked those things.

There was a couple beside her that were picking out rings, and the man chose a ring and placed it on the woman’s finger. “Wifey, this looks really nice.”

The woman liked the design very much, but she had a smile on her face as she took it off while she said softly in a displeased tone, “This is so expensive. Let’s choose a small one first. After we have money in the future, we will exchange it for a big one.”

Ning Qing looked at them with jealousy in her eyes. The most ordinary form of bliss in this world was to be in love with one someone and accompany one another by each other’s side.

“Ning Qing.” Lu Shaoming came, and called out to her from the back.

Ning Qing turned around and the man used one hand to carry the paper bag while he stood up straight and handsome. His bright, black eyes were gently locked on her as he asked, “What are you looking at?”

Ning Qing’s small face blushed red, and he knew that she was looking at rings. She did not know if she asked him for one now, would he be willing to buy one for her.

Her seashell-white teeth bit down on her pink lips. Her two small white hands were in front of her while they were twisted with one another, “Shaoming, the rings here are so pretty.”

Her insinuation was very obvious.

“Okay.” The man let out a grunt and stretched out his palm to hold onto her small hand. “Let us go quickly; don’t let your parents wait for too long.”

Ning Qing’s expression froze, and the expression in her eyes darkened. He was not willing to buy it for her.

He was not a petty person, it was definitely not because of money that he did not buy it for her. Maybe rings signified marriage, and he still did not have any plans to marry her.

Not wanting to marry her was because he did not love her that deeply yet, and Ning Qing knew it.

...

In the Ning family home

Ning Zhenguo and Yue Wanqing saw Lu Shaoming come and were both happy and comforted. The two seniors happily accepted his gifts, and Yue Wanqing busied herself to make an entire table of dishes. Ning Qing went to the kitchen to help out.

Ning Zhenguo and Lu Shaoming sat on the sofa in the living room to chat with one another.

Actually Ning Zhenguo did not have anything he wanted to say. He was nervous, he had not had much interaction with this important Young Master Lu, and both their statues and positions were far apart from one another. Every time he sneakily peeked at him, the man sat upright. Both his legs were elegantly placed together, and his shiny handmade shoes were in a V shape. Every move of his was elegant and educated — the behaviour of a man who grew up in a wealthy family. Iit made others looking on admire him.

“Young Master Lu, please have some tea.” Ning Zhenguo laughed awkwardly.

“Okay, thank you, Uncle.” Lu Shaoming grabbed the tea cup and took a small sip, he looked at Ning Zhenguo and asked him, ” Uncle, what projects are your company currently busy with?”

The way he addressed him made cold sweat drip from Ning Zhenguo’s forehead. “Haha, Young Master Lu, they are all small dealings in my business. They are all not worth your interest. We have recently participated in the bidding of a Shi Jing building.”

Lu Shaoming’s handsome eyebrows lifted up, and his deep voice was extremely polite as he said, “I have heard about the Shi Jing building project, I will let the secretary know tomorrow to help Uncle secure this business deal.”

“No, there is no need for you to do so. I have to thank Young Master Lu for your kind gesture.” Ning Zhenguo quickly rejected him.

Although his daughter Qingqing did not tell him what happened between her and Lu Shaoming, he knew more than Yue Wanqing did, and both the Lu and Ning families were not matched with one another. Gis daughter Qingqing probably was pressured by her own family background.

He could not help much as a father, and also did not want to go through the back door by using Lu Shaoming and take advantage of him. He could not let others look down on his daughter and gossip.

After experiencing the matters regarding Li Meiling and Ning Yao, it was only then that he realized how messy the first half of his life had been, and now, he only wanted to live a clear, lucid life.

Seeing Lu Shaoming frown upon hearing his rejection, Ning Zhenguo explained quickly. Because he was afraid inside his heart, he said without thinking, “I... haha, Young Master Lu, the Ning family has only one daughter Qinqing. She has a huge burden on her shoulders. This Shi Jing building project is not a must have... Haha, in the future, the properties of the Ning family companies would end up in the hands of my daughter and son in law. Actually at one time, Qingqing did think of looking for a son in law who would marry into the family...”

After Ning Zhenguo finished his words, gosh, Lu Shaoming had a deeper frown on his face.

This man who was in the corporate sector for more than 10 years brought along a strong and sharp aura with him. If he had a frown on his face, it was as if an entire mountain has collapsed on him.

Ning Zhenguo only wanted to start a conversation, and he recklessly said stuff when he did not know what else to say.

He called towards the kitchen, “Wanqing, is dinner ready?” He stood up and continued saying, ” Young Master Lu, you have a seat. I will go to the kitchen to have a look.”

Ning Zhenguo slipped into the kitchen.

...

Ning Zhenguo went into the kitchen, and Ning Qing had a fruit platter in her hands as she walked out. She sat on the sofa, and she saw the man’s face looked a little tense. She could not help but ask, “Shaoming, what is wrong with you?”

Lu Shaoming looked at her with a plain stare, and he pursed his thin lips together lightly and he hesitated before saying, “Uncle seems...like he is not too satisfied with me.”

What?

Ning Qing froze entirely.

Lu Shaoming continued to say, “Uncle did not accept my goodwill. He seems to be drawing the line with me. Uncle even said that he wanted to help you look for a son in law that would marry into the family.”
