My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

Chapter 206: Young Master Lu, My Name is Xu Junxi; I am Ning Qing’s First Love

Then was it because he was loaded?

Yes, he was really wealthy. He did not mind if women liked him for his money. Love was love; it would be fine if he had money. Lu Shaoming walked beside the closet. He suddenly thought of her face that night when the girl stood beside her closet, touched the edge of his white shirt, and laughed to herself with a silly grin. His lips curled up into a smile.

He grabbed a white shirt and black suit trousers. He put them on slowly, and then stood before the mirror again. He styled his hair with a comb. After he was done, he felt that it was not enough. He squeezed a little hair gel into hands and set his hair in a fixed position. It was the first time in his life that he made himself up.

...

In the Ning Villa

Ning Qing woke up. Yue Wanqing placed a soft pillow behind her back. She had a small bowl in her hands, and she drank the donkey hide glue glutinous rice porridge spoonful by spoonful.

“Ning Qing!” At this moment, Xiao Zhou rushed, panicked. Xiao Zhou saw Yue Wanqing present and immediately nodded her head and bowed down to greet her. “Aunt, how are you?”

“Xiao Zhou, how are you? Are you looking for Ning Qing? I will go out. Take your time.” Yue Wanqing walked out. After she saw Yue Wanqing leave, Xiao Zhou sat down on the bed and said, “Ning Qing, what is wrong with you? Where is your phone? How come my calls don’t go through?”

Ning Qing used the spoon to scoop the porridge. She did not lift her head up, and she set her entire body lazily on the headboard of the bed. “Oh, I lost my phone.” She forgot to take her phone that night; it was probably left behind in the hotel room in Finland.

“No wonder I could not reach you. I was worried sick. I will accompany you later in the afternoon to go to the mall to pick up a new phone.”

“Okay.” Ning Qing nodded her head.

Xiao Zhou noticed her depressed state. She stirred the spoonful of glutinous rice porridge many times but only had a few mouthfuls of it after a long while. Puzzled, she asked, “Ning Qing, what is wrong? Quickly drink the porridge; it is getting cold.”

Ning Qing did not have an appetite. Maybe she was upset. She did not feel well. she felt like vomiting, and she did not want to eat anything. “Ning Qing, why is your face so pale? What is wrong with you hand? Did you get hurt? Didn’t you go to Finland to look for Lu Shaoming? How come you are back injured? Did Young Master Lu made you upset again?” Ning Qing had a small mouthful of porridge. She was elegant, and she shook her head to deny it. “No. I am on my period, and my stomach hurts. That’s why my face is a little pale. My hand got injured when I fell, and it is not related to him.”

Xiao Zhou heard her words and clapped her palms together, “Things have gone bad. Hearing you speak like this means there is definitely something up. You went chasing after Young Master Lu in Finland. Even if Young Master Lu were only a friend, he should have protected you well. Let me tell you, Ning Qing: You are treating Young Master Lu too well. You went all out to chase him. Men are all evil. The more you go after him, the more proud he will be. Would you believe if I told you that if you ignore him for a few days, he will come chasing after you. It’s called loosening the reins only to grasp them tighter.”

Ning Qing lifted her head and curled her lips into a smile. She changed the subject saying, “Xiao Zhou, do you have any urgent matters that bring you here looking for me?”

“Oh, that’s right, I almost forgot about the most important thing. There is news from Xu Junxi. They said that they were meeting Islandwide Entertainment Media’s boss for a lunch appointment. They asked if you had time. Ning Qing, if you are not feeling well, then let’s schedule it on another day...”

“No need.” Ning Qing placed the small bowl onto the nightstand and removed the blankets to get off of the bed. She casually tucked the hair by her cheeks behind her ears and said in a plain tone, “I am only on my period. Nothing is wrong. Work still has to continue. Xiao Zhou, wait a while for me. I will go bathe and change my outfit. We will attend the appointment.”

...

After showering and changing her outfit, Ning Qing sat down in front of the dressing table to blow dry her hair. Yue Wanqing came in to take a look and said, “Qingqing, are you going out? Work can be done anytime. Your body is the most important thing! Mum thinks that you should rest for 2 days at home before returning to work.”

“Mum, I am fine. My stomach doesn’t hurt anymore; it still just a little bloated, and it will be fine in a while. I know my own body well. I am not going out to drink or anything. I only need to attend a meeting to discuss some business.” Yue Wanqing knew that she would not be able to convince her daughter. She could only sigh and take the hair dryer into her hands to help her dry her hair. Ning Qing enjoyed her mother’s warmth and lifted her gaze to smile, saying, “Mother, thank you. Mum, you must always accompany me and be by my side. Qingqing is most blissful with Mom around.”

“Silly girl.” Yue Wanqing looked at her daughter’s beautiful face and her eyes, which were so gentle that almost had water flowing out of them. She sighed softly and said, “Mother cannot accompany you for your entire life. You must reconcile with Shaoming quickly. A couple when young but a companion when old. He will be the one who will accompany you ’til you grow old.”

Ning Qing’s long lashes that were like two rows of butterfly’s wings quietly fluttered, and she said softly, “Oh.” Xiao Zhou took the powder puff and said, “Ning Qing, your face is too pale; I will help you apply some powder. It will make you look more awake.”

“Okay.” Ning Qing nodded her head.

The two circled around Ning Qing and were busy for a while. When they were done, they put their tools away and Ning Qing brought Xiao Zhou out of the door. The limo was parked on the roadside. The two walked towards the car.

Honk! It was the sound of a car horn. A Bentley stopped in front of the pair. The windows rolled down; it was Lu Shaoming! Xiao Zhou looked at the handsome and mesmerizing face and politely greeted him, “Young Master Lu, it’s such a coincidence to meet you here.”

Lu Shaoming nodded his head plainly, and he looked towards Ning Qing. The girl was standing there quietly, and she was dressed in a light blue knitted wool shirt and tight white pants, and she wore a pair of white boots. There was a sling bag on her shoulder. The bag was of the typical style of a young lady. It was yellow with green stripes, and there was a small cute silver bear hanging from it. It made her look casual yet fashionable.

She looked at him once and moved her gaze away plainly. She did not speak, and she turned herself to go towards her own nanny vehicle.

Lu Shaoming: “...”

“Ay, Ning Qing.” Xiao Zhou saw Ning Qing walk away, and quickly bade farewell to Lu Shaoming awkwardly. “Sorry, Young Master Lu, our Ning Qing is not feeling well today. We have to go.” Xiao Zhou ran to chase Ning Qing and also boarded the limo.

Lu Shaoming looked at the car disappear from his sight. His handsome face was dark and sullen. He took extra effort to dress himself up and waited outside the villa for more than half an hour to create a scene that seemed like a coincidence. She just barely gave him a look and left?

Why was she so cold towards him?

He was her man!

But, was she not feeling well?

She had been kicked in the abdomen because she wanted to protect that pregnant woman. Where was she hurting?

...

Inside the limo, Ning Qing took a blanket to cover her thighs. She did not know why, but she was suddenly a little afraid of the cold. Actually, both her hands and legs were very cold, and they did not have any warmth to them. Xiao Zhou passed her a cup of red bean milk tea to drink and asked, “Ning Qing, why didn’t you say anything when you saw Young Master Lu? You are behaving too abnormally.”

Ning Qing held onto the cup of milk tea and had a slight smile. Her tone was calm and collected as she said, “Did I? Didn’t you say that men are evil and tell me to loosen the reins only to grasp them better?”

“But...” Xiao Zhou was troubled. “Young Master Lu lost his memory. He doesn’t remember you, and you still have your 3 months promise to fulfil. Your situation now is not suited to use the method of loosening the reins only to grasp them better.”

Yes, she was aware of that.

She turned sideways to look outside the window and said softly, “Xiao Zhou, I am a little tired. I want to let myself rest for a few days. Sometimes, men are really like the sand you hold in your hands. The harder you grab onto them, the faster they flow away. Nobody would be a robot and go to war daily without rest. Everyone’s heart is made out of meat; they would be upset and disappointed also. So, don’t bother with me. After I am depressed for a while I will recover very quickly.”

...

In the hotel

Ning Qing and Xiao Zhou walked into the hotel lobby. Xu Junxi was already there waiting for them.

“President Xu.” Ning Qing walked forward.

“Ning Qing, you are here.” Xu Junxi gave a warm smile and said, “I heard Xiao Zhou say that you went to Europe these past few days. How was the itinerary?”

Ning Qing curled her lips into a smile. Her smile was very bright, and she said half-jokingly, “Not bad, but Finland isn’t a good place for travel. I don’t think I will be returning in the future.” Xu Junxi looked at her eyes seriously. They have known each other for 20 years. Whether she was being sincere or not, he could tell with one look at her eyes.

Just like now: Although she was smiling on the surface, her smile did not reach her eyes. She had a forced smile, and she was being fake.

“How come you thought of putting on foundation today?” Xu Junxi looked at her cheeks. “I thought you usually didn’t put on makeup?”

“Oh, President Xu, our Ning Qing is not feeling well. Her stomach hurts, and her face was a little pale, so I helped her to put on some powder. I didn’t think that you would notice. Later, at the dinner table, you need to help Ning Qing by drinking alcohol on her behalf. She cannot take cold stuff now...”

“Xiao Zhou!” Ning Qing shouted to stop her. Xiao Zhou was on the receiving end of Ning Qing’s stare, and she knew that she had made a mistake, and she stuck her tongue out.

“Ah, it’s nothing.” Xu Junxi laughed and said, “Ning Qing, we are still friends. If there is anything that you still need help with, you can let me know.”

“That is a must. Like this time, when I invested in an entertainment company, didn’t I come looking for you? President Xu, let us go in to speak.”

“Sure.” The trio left in the direction of the private room.

But at this moment, a handsome shadow appeared, Lu Shaoming had one hand in his pocket and walked in the direction of the lobby. Xu Junxi noticed him. The two men’s gazes collided and had some kind of spark.

“Young Master Lu.” Xu Junxi stopped in his tracks and took the initiative to greet him. Lu Shaoming seemed like he had business to attend to in this hotel. After hearing Xu Junxi call out to him, he walked in front of the trio. His bright eyes scanned Xu Junxi, and his lips curled up into a cold arc. “You are?”

Xu Junxi laughed in his heart. He heard that this man had lost his memory. Hmm, it really seemed like he had lost his memory, but this feeling of rivalry was still the same as before. Also, although this man had lost his memory, he could still pretend. Although he obviously came here for them, he still needed Xu Junxi to call out to him, only then did he walk over.

Xu Junxi introduced himself and said, “Young Master Lu, how are you. I have been looking forward to meeting you for a long time. You might have not known me as a person, but you have definitely heard of my name before, I am Xu Junxi, Ning Qing’s first love.”

Ning Qing heard his introduction and could not help but give Xu Junxi a stare. Xu Junxi looked at her with a pampering smile. This was all taken in by Lu Shaoming. His brows were cold and collected. His sharp and piercing gaze scanned their faces during their interaction.

He was Xu Junxi?

He had actually heard of him before.

Very good, he remembered him now.

Xu Junxi did not have to look at Lu Shaoming to know that there were two cold and piercing gazes directed on his face. He shrugged his shoulders carelessly and said, “Young Master Lu, I have a dinner appointment with Ning Qing. We are going to the sixth floor. Where are you heading to? Do you want to take the elevator with us?”

“That’s such a coincidence, I am also going to the sixth floor. Let us go together, then,” Lu Shaoming said casually.

...

Four of them entered the lift. Xiao Zhou observed the scene and knew that Ning Qing and Lu Shaoming were definitely in the middle of an argument. She wanted the two of them to interact more, so when she entered the lift, she stood beside Xu Junxi, allowing Ning Qing and Lu Shaoming to stand on the other side.
