Chapter 237: Negotiation
Hearing her chide him, it was only then that he realized that his actions were inappropriate.
He lowered his gaze to have a glance. His body instantly became tight, and he swallowed his saliva.
“Lu Shaoming, let go.” Ning Qing went to swat away his large palm.
The man froze for a few moments, and Ning Qing took the chance to let go of his hand, and she pulled her safety shorts back up. Her small butt hurt so much, this slap of his was too hard, and she probably had red marks on it now.
Ning Qing stood up.
She had yet to stand up, and the man came pinning her down from behind, “Baby...” His voice was incredibly rough. He pinned her small waist with one arm, and he came to kiss her.
The man kissed her in a hurry, and the air that came from the tip of his nose went over her supple skin. It was so hot, and it made Ning Qing feel taken aback.
“Lu Shaoming, what are you doing? Don’t be like that...” Ning Qing struggled, and she moved her body around wanting to escape his embrace, but the man’s muscular arm on her soft waist firmly pinned her down. It was as if he wanted to smash her into pieces.
Ning Qing’s small exquisite face went crimson red. She could not breathe too well, and her stomach was hurting because of the pressure. She went to remove his arms.
Touching his arm, she could feel underneath his thin shirt. She could feel the blood flowing in his arms because of his huge desire, and he was trying to keep it under control. The blood was flowing furiously and viciously; it was full of the energy of a beast.
“Lu Shaoming... ah...” He was really very rough, and he pressed on her waist with one hand, holding her down.
Ning Qing’s irises contracted. This man...
“Lu Shaoming, if you continue being like this, don’t blame me for not being polite with you!” Ning Qing kicked the man with her thin, sharp heel, and the man cowered in pain. He loosened the grip, and Ning Qing took the chance to turn around. She bent her right knee and crashed directly into his key spot.
“Sii.” Lu Shaoming did not have his guard up, and he stumbled a few steps back in pain.
His handsome features were held tightly together, and there was a layer of red in his black eyes. He was attacked by her, and the man could not help but be angered by her. “Ning Qing, do you know what you are doing right now? Be careful, don’t ruin our life in the future.”
He added extra emphasis when he pronounced “life”.
The expression on Ning Qing’s face was not too good, and looking at the way he looked right now, he was in such a hurry that he did not undo his belt; he directly went to unzip the zipper of his trousers, like he had not touched a woman for a few hundred years.
“Lu Shaoming, who wants to live with you? Who are you to me? I am going to leave myself for my husband. If you don’t want to marry me, then don’t touch me. Whoever you want to love, go and live with that person then.”
Ning Qing turned around to leave.
The door shut with a large bang.
Lu Shaoming lay on the wall to pant hurriedly. He had never been in such a mess before, and the self control that he had all along prided himself on had disappeared somewhere around the moment he met her.
His body was still uncomfortable, and when he closed his eyes, all he felt was her struggling in his embrace. She had never resisted him before. Sometimes, when he kissed her, although she was shy, she still silently allowed him to do so.
Whenever he wanted to do something in the month that they were dating, she was unable to escape from it.
But everything started to change since yesterday.
She was distancing herself from him.
He could not stand her distancing herself from him.
What did she say? He did not want to marry her?
Lu Shaoming placed one large hand into his pocket and took out the hard heart shaped box. He opened up the box, and there were a pair of wedding rings inside.
...
Ning Qing spent the afternoon on set. Her phone was very quiet. Lu Shaoming had not sent another text to her.
At 6pm, she left work and went home.
She did not board the limo but chose to walk home.
When she made a turn and walked into a secluded corner, an SUV suddenly came beside her, and three scary men dressed in black jumped out. One of the men used a damp towel to directly cover over Ning Qing’s mouth.
“Help, woo...” Ning Qing struggled furiously, but she could not match up the strength of the man. The man dragged her onto the vehicle.
“Stop, who are you guys?” Suddenly, a group of people appeared at the entrance of the alley.
The man dressed in black saw this group come, and he quickly let go of Ning Qing. The crew hastily boarded the vehicle. They floored the accelerator and left in a flash,
“Don’t run away. Quickly, chase after them,” Zhu Rui ordered the group of bodyguards behind him.
“Secretary Zhu...” At this moment, Ning Qing’s legs went soft, and she directly fell to the ground.
Zhu Rui quickly stretched out his hand to grab Ning Qing’s slim arm, and Ning Qing held onto her chest, bent down, and retched uncontrollably.
“Madam, are you okay? Stop the chase. Quickly, bring Madam to the hospital.”
“Yes, sir.”
Ning Qing vomited until tears flowed from her eyes. She lifted up her eyes and said to Zhu Rui, “There is no need for that, Secretary Zhu. I don’t know what is wrong with me lately. I always feel like vomiting, and just now when I had a whiff of the weird fragrance on the towel, I vomited. I am fine. Oh right, Secretary Zhu, how come you are here with this group of people?”
“Madam, it is the President who is worried about you. He asked us to come and protect you. Don’t worry, Madam. In the future, you won’t have to worry about problems regarding safety, there is President around.”
“Then where is Shaoming right now?”
“Oh, President has gone home to meet Madam now.”
“Okay.” Ning Qing nodded her head graciously and said, “I am fine. I am just a little tired now. My house is not too far. Bring me home then.”
“Sure.”
...
Lu Shaoming went back to the Lu family villa. Both Song Yajing and Zhou Zhilei were at the villa, and they had recently developed a good relationship, just like a mother-daughter duo who could not be separated from one another, and the two of them were preparing to have dinner.
“Shaoming, how come you are back now? Why did you not give us a call beforehand? This is such a coincidence. Let us have dinner together then,” Song Yajing exclaimed as she smiled.
Lu Shaoming had a normal expression on his face, and he nodded his head. “Okay.”
Zhou Zhilei saw that he was willing to stay for dinner, and a smile quickly formed on her face while she said, “Older Brother Ming, come have a seat.”
The three of them at the long dining table, and the maid served the dishes.
Lu Shaoming asked, “Mum, when is Dad coming back to T City?”
“He probably needs one or two more months.” Song Yajing was puzzled as she said, “Shaoming, how come you are asking about your father right now? After you turned 16 years old, you made all your own decisions. You have never relied on your father. Do you have any significant matters that you want to discuss with your father?”
“Yeah, does marriage count as a big matter?”
“What?” Song Yajing and Zhou Zhilei both froze.
The lights in the dining room shone on the man’s handsome features and made him glow with a mesmerizing shine. Lu Shaoming grabbed a pair of chopsticks with his right hand, and he did not lift his gaze up. He used the cloth on the dining table to elegantly wipe the corner of his lips, and he had a laid back smile while he said, “Mum, I have fallen in love with a girl; I want to marry her. You also know this person. She is Ning Qing.”
Song Yajing slapped her chopsticks harshly onto the dining table, “I don’t agree!”
Lu Shaoming’s dark eyes were dark and unable to reflect a single ray of light in them, and his lips curled up into a light arc as he said, “Mum, then who would you approve of? Her?” Lu Shaoming glanced at Zhou Zhilei who was sitting opposite him, and he did not have much expression as he said, “That’s fine, she can be your daughter in law. It’s too bad that you’ll have to look for another son for it to happen.”
Zhou Zhilei placed both her hands underneath the table. She secretly formed them into fists. This man was so cruel and uninterested in her. They had been childhood sweethearts from such a young age, but he treated her more and more coldly over the years.
“You!” The calm expression on Song Yajing’s finally started to crack.Over the last few days, all of the conditions she had given Ning Qing on the phone, Lu Shaoming has now fulfilled.
He actually told her in the face that he had plans of marrying Ning Qing.
In a short span of 3 months, he really fell in love with her again.
“Mum, if you do not want to find a new son, then my visit today is to inform you. It is not a negotiation.”
“Shaoming, I have already shown you Ning Qing’s dirty past. She is really not in love with you; why do you have to be interested in her?”
“Who said that?” Lu Shaoming had a frown on his face, and his beautiful forehead was defensively tense as he said, “She, she has been angry with me for the past 2 days. Last night, she did not allow me to have dinner in her home. This morning, I still had to comfort her and she made me watch a Korean drama. I wanted to touch her, but she kicked me with her leg and turned around to leave... but I have simply fallen in love with her. It’s like I am under her spell, and I only want to be together with her.”
Song Yajing opened her eyes widely, and she shook her head in disbelief. “This is crazy... Lu Shaoming, you’ve actually pampered a woman this much? This is way beyond belief...”
“Hah, Mum, two days ago, she actually was not like that. She was obedient and listened to me. But a couple of days ago, her mother had been knocked down by a motorcycle. She had an upset expression whenever she looked at me. She despised me and distanced herself from me. It was like she did not even want to date me anymore. Mum, do you know the reason why?”
Song Yajing froze and she snorted coldly before asking, “What would I know? She complained to you about something?”
Lu Shaoming shrugged his shoulders as he said, “Mum, she did not say anything. Could you actually not admit that you threatened her and made her want to leave me? Maybe she can leave me, but I am unable to leave her; I’d be in great pain. We both know what’s going on, so don’t harm her anymore, okay? I will make it clear; don’t torture me in the future, okay?”
Song Yajing’s face was both red and white, and she had never seen him talk like this in her life. She had never heard something like this before. It turned out that love could be like this.
It was really so strange.
She grew up in a wealthy family since she was young, and she married into the Lu family when both families arranged the marriage in hopes of further collaborations. She thought of the profits that her family could stand to gain. What place was there for romance? What was love?
She did not bother with that.
But in her son’s plain tone, she heard a firm resolution in his words, and that line, “I will tell you well now...” He meant it more as a threat towards her.
He actually spoke to her like that just because of that woman? What about his upbringing?
Song Yajing was furious beyond words. Lu Shaoming’s phone rang.
He picked up and said, “Hello....”
After he heard what the person on the other end had to say, Lu Shaoming hung up the call without saying a single word.
He turned his head to look at Song Yajing. If his expression a second ago could be considered warm and plain, now it was sharp and fierce like a hawk’s while he said, “Mum, Liu Wenlong is not enough. Ning Qing’s mother is not enough for you, and now you’ve ordered someone to kidnap Ning Qing?”
Song Yajing froze, and she said, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”
Lu Shaoming took in a deep breath, and he lifted up his eyebrows while he spat out 6 words, “This will be the last time.”
“What?” Song Yajing did not understand.
“This is the last time that I will tolerate your actions.”
Song Yajing had a flash in her eyes, and her gaze was sharp.
Lu Shaoming welcomed her gaze and lifted up his eyebrows. He slowly put on a smile and said, “Mum, do you think that I am unable to leave the Lu family? Or is it that the Lu family unable to leave me?”
Song Yajing’s eyes contracted. He...
Since the man’s arrival, he had not looked at her in the eye at all, but Zhou Zhilei listened on and felt her face go red and her heart beat quickly. Right, it was a feeling just like that. This man who had high status in society had a natural wildness and arrogance, and she totally bowed down in his strong and powerful aura.
Lu Shaoming was like a son from Heaven. Since his youth, he had achieved incredible feats in the corporate world, and when he created Guang Qing when he was 16 years old, it created shockwaves in America’s Wall Street. He was the most remarkable descendant the Lu family had throughout their history, and he made them proud of his achievements.
There was no one else who could compare.
