My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

Chapter 140: A Beautiful Woman Beside Young Master Lu

“Yes,” Ning Qing nodded her head, she used her hands to smooth her clothes. She looked directly at him and asked, “Brother Yun Fan, you would not lie to me right?”

“Of course not.”

“It better be true. Brother Yunfan, if you lied to me, I would be very sad. Those strangers cannot harm me when they lie to me, but you are my kin.

“Moreover, Brother Yunfan, you also know that I am Madam Lu now. We have grown up already. It is not suitable for us to engage in intimate interactions anymore. It would be better if we could maintain a distance between one another. Speaking honestly, if Brother Yunfan likes me, there would only be one outcome. I love Lu Shaoming. There would be nothing with you. For the sake of me and you, I can only distance myself from you. Do you understand, Brother Yunfan?”

After Ning Qing said these words, she felt more comfortable in her heart. Actually, she was unwilling to suspect Mu Yunfan. After all, he was an important friend in her life.

But his actions recently were too abnormal, and they made her feel uncomfortable.

She had to remind him.

“I understand.” Mu Yunfan was silent for a few seconds and forcefully placed a smile on his lips.

It seemed like he had been from Ning Qing for too long. In these 3 years, Ning Qing had changed significantly.

She was always quick witted and brilliant, but this tone of guile had an additional sharpness to it.

She’d grown up.

Everyone said that couples would be similar in their ways. She had a touch of Lu Shaoming’s foresight and prudence. She was resembling him more and more.

After exiting the room, Ning Qing saw Yun Wanqing pouring water for herself to drink in the living room. She walked forward and waved towards her mum. She said softly, “Mum, come over.”

Yun Wanqing walked over to Ning Qing’s side. “Qingqing, what’s the matter? Why are you behaving so secretly?”

“Mum.” Ning Qing said while whispering, holding on to her mum’s elbow, “Did Brother Yunfan leave for his condominium just now?”

Ning Qing had a question in her heart, she met with thugs halfway, and it was too much of a coincidence, considering Brother Yunfan’s arrival.

Brother Yunfan had recently returned from overseas. He was not familiar with the roads, and she chose a secluded and winding route. Why would Brother Yunfan go there?

“Oh, Yunfan came back once. He saw that you did not return for so long, so he asked which route you would take. I pointed out one road to him. What’s the matter Qingqing?”

Ning Qing shook her head. “Nothing, Mum. You should go to sleep.”

It seemed like she was being too suspicious recently. Brother Yunfan was innocent. She’d been suspecting Brother Yunfan for a while.

Ning Qing smacked her head, and returned to her own room.

Returning to her room, she lay on her bed. Ning Qing sent a message to Yin Shuiling.

[Shui Ling , Brother Yunfan is back in the country, would you want to meet him? ]

Yin Shuiling replied speedily.

[What’s there to see? It is not as if you don’t know our personalities have never meshed, even since our youth. It was only due to the promise made during our childhood. If there’s nothing else, I will go back to drawing comics. Bye bye.]

The Mu, Yin, Xu and Ning families were friends for generations. These four kids were all childhood sweethearts. They grew up together, but Yin Shuiling and Mu Yunfan did not see eye to eye. They would not want to spare an extra glance at one another. Mu Yunfan and Xu Junxi were competing between themselves. They did not have deep ties; only Ning Qing had pleasant relationships with all three of them.

Ning Qing puffed her cheeks. She wanted to chat more with Yin Shuiling.

Ning Qing continued to use her phone. She opened it up to a familiar number, and she did not give up. She sent yet another text.

[Hubby, I miss you very much. Do you miss me? If you do please respond to me.]

There was no response from Lu Shaoming’s end, even after an entire night.

...

The next morning, after breakfast, Mu Yunfan and Ning Qing left for school together.

Because Mu Yunfan had an injured thigh, he did not drive. Ning Qing supported his elbow, and they went out together to the main road to hail a taxi.

“Brother Yun Fan, you hang tight. I will go flag the cab.” Ning Qing let Mu Yunfan stand on the steps. She went to the sidewalk to hail a taxi.

“Okay, be careful Qingqing,” Mu Yunfan ordered.

Because it was the peak hour currently, it was not easy to hail one. Ning Qing hailed many cabs, but nobody stopped for her.

When an empty car came, Ning Qing’s phone rang; it was a call from Zhu Rui.

Ning Qing’s eyes brightened up immediately as she quickly picked up the call. “Hello, Secretary Zhu, what... really? I will rush there now.”

Ning Qing ended the call and boarded the taxi. She said to the driver, “Driver, please send me to Guang Qing, fast!”

The taxi sped up, Ning Qing heard someone calling her from behind, “Qingqing, Qingqing.”

It was only then she realized she left Mu Yunfan in the original spot.

She wound down the windows, and stretched her head out of the car. She said with an apologetic tone, “Brother Yunfan, I’m sorry. You take a cab to school by yourself. Shaoming is back today. I’m going to the office to wait for him. Oh right, Brother Yunfan, help me to apply for one day of leave.”

The taxi left hurriedly and it disappeared in a flash.

Mu Yunfan stood on the ground. He angrily balled his fingers into a fist. This was the first time he’d been thrown aside by another, and the first time Ning Qing ignored him completely.

Mu Yunfan stayed at school, and he got to see Ning Qing at the afternoon gym class.

“Qingqing, what’s the matter? I thought you went to see Young Master Lu in the morning? You even asked me to get the day off for you. Why are you here now?”

Ning Qing had a disappointed look on her face. “Oh, when I rushed down to Guang Qing, Secretary Zhu told me Shao,ing’s flight had been changed to an afternoon flight, and he wouldn’t be here until the afternoon.”

Mu Yunfan’s eyes turned cold. If he had changed his flight schedule, why did he not inform Ning Qing beforehand and make her waste a trip?

It seemed that Lu Shaoming was doing this on purpose.

“Qingqing, you...”

At this moment, Ning Qing’s phone rang again. She smiled like a blossomed flower. She quickly answered and said, “Hello, Secretary Zhu...okay, okay. I will go there now.”

Ning Qing turned to leave.

Mu Yunfan’s words were stuck in his throat. His face was green with envy. He felt all of the world’s evil mustering within him.

Mu Yunfan returned to the condo, he thought he was seeing things. Ning Qing was also sitting in the living room.

“Qingqing, what’s wrong this time? Don’t tell me Lu Shaoming’s flight has been delayed again? He won’t be here ’til tonight?”

“How did you know, Brother Yunfan? Shaoming’s flight was delayed for 3 hours. He won’t be here until tonight.”

Mu Yunfan understood immediately. He recalled when Lu Shaoming had told him, “Biased love can always behave without fear.” Lu Shaoming was demonstrating it for him to see.

Mu Yunfan could control it anymore. He said, “Qingqing, I think Young Master Lu is doing this on purpose. He is playing with you. Don’t go at night; even if you do go, you will not be able to see him.”

Ning Qing stood up swiftly from the sofa and said unhappily, “Brother Yunfan, what nonsense are you spouting? I don’t allow you to speak of him like this. He would not use such childish methods like delaying the plane to play with me. He has been on a business trip for 4 days. Work has been so tiring, and you are still trying to slander him!”

“I...” Mu Yunfan wanted to explain.

At this moment, Ning Qing’s phone rang again. It was Secretary Zhu again, and Mu Yunfan felt his entire body become uncomfortable in an instant.

Ning Qing smiled happily when she received the call. She shuffled and ran to the front porch to change her shoes. Mu Yunfan followed her closely, “Qingqing, it is nightfall now. It’s dangerous for a girl to hail a taxi alone at night; let me bring you.”

Ning Qing was still angry with him due to what he’d just said. She saw his attitude had changed for the better. She looked at his thigh, and asked with concern, “Can you drive?”

“I can, let’s go.”

...

The two of them arrived at Guang Qing and walked into the lobby. The lobby contained a row of 10 or so smartly dressed directors led by Zhu Rui. The workers in the building were still on their shift.

Ning Qing walked in. “Madam.” Zhu Rui politely welcomed her in.

Ning Qing softly asked, “Secretary Zhu, when will Shaoming arrive?”

“President has just disembarked from the plane; he is on the way now. He needs around 10 minutes to arrive.”

Ning Qing heartbeat accelerated. Once she thought of Lu Shaoming coming back, she was antsy and excited.

At this moment, she heard someone mocking from the side, “I don’t think that 10 mins are enough, Qingqing. I think you’ll need to wait for at least an hour.”

It was the voice of Mu Yunfan.

Ning Qing froze upon hearing his words.

Zhu Rui looked at Mu Yunfan. He said politely, “No matter whether it was 10 mins or 1 hour, our president did not ask Madam to wait.”

Mu Yunfan was stunned. He was at a loss for words.

That’s right, Lu Shaoming hadn’t instructed her to come here; it was all Ning Qing’s excitement.

“Madam, I think Young Master Lu has urgent matters to attend to. He is not willing to wait here. If that’s the case, Madam and Young Master Mu can go back,” Zhu Rui said with good intent.

“I don’t want to.” Ning Qing immediately rejected that. She turned her head to face Mu Yunfan’s cold face. “Brother Yunfan, you have already brought me to Guang Qing, there is nothing for you here. You can go home.”

“No, I will accompany you.”

“I don’t want you to. Go home, Brother Yunfan. Look at your grim face, just like someone owes you a few hundred-thousand dollars. Shaoming would not be happy to see that. Go back. Think of it as me begging you to,” Ning Qing softly implored.

Mu Yunfan was on the brink of tears. Just because of his solemn face, Ning Qing was begging him to leave Guang Qing?

The reason being she was scared that Lu Shaoming would not be happy?

By that logic, if one day Lu Shaoming would not be happy seeing him around, would Ning Qing then beg him to leave T city?

Okay. That man won. He’d gotten to know, to compare him and Lu Shaoming’s importance in Ning Qing’s head; he was sorely lacking.

But, it was only temporary.

Mu Yunfan turned to leave.

Not long after Mu Yunfan left, a luxury utility vehicle stopped in front of Guang Qing. The driver opened the passenger door. Lu Shaoming walked out.

He was dressed in a navy blue coat. There was no suit underneath. The navy blue vest wrapped over a customized handmade clean dress shirt. He did not have a tie, and there was a European brooch on the vest, attracting the eyes of onlookers.

His black trousers were immaculately ironed. They did not have a single crease. Due to his heavy steps, it now had creases that could reflect his cold steps

His demeanor was clear and charming.

Ning Qing forgot about her wildly beating heart. She followed him for so long, but this feeling still hadn’t changed. Just a look at him. She was so deeply attracted by him.

How could she reject this 30 year old mature attractive man?

Lu Shaoming started to ascend the steps. He walked into the lobby. His navy blue coat swayed with his every movement. It was an elegant sight to behold.

After getting close to him, she noticed that his face did not seem to be extremely tired. He seemed to have gone a couple days without shaving. His strong chin seemed to have some stubble.

Ning Qing felt her legs go soft. Her small face was burning hot. That night, she chased after his lips wanting to kiss him. He was a master at not letting her get what she wants. His sweaty face buried into her neck. He used his chin to nudge her one time after another, and he murmured, “Darling, do you know that I am dying already?”

Ning Qing wanted to cover her face. What was he thinking about?

“President...” Zhu Rui came forward to welcome him and placed a document in front of the man. The two of them were speaking softly, and Lu Shaoming nodded in response.

Then Lu Shaoming led the row of well-dressed men into the elevator.

Ning Qing froze. He did not speak to her at all. He only gave her an expression when he passed by her. It was subtle.

They hadn’t seen each other for 4 days, and he treated her like this?

She had so much to say to him.

“Madam.” Zhu Rui had been left behind. He walked beside her. “Madam, President needs to go to a meeting, and it will take an hour or two. You can go home. Or you can rest in the President’s office.”

Ning Qing was aggravated. She pouted her pink lips and said disappointedly, “I will wait for him.”

Ning Qing fell asleep while she waited for him. Over these past few days, he did not respond to her. She thought about him greatly at night, and often could not fall into slumber. Even if she could fall asleep, she slept poorly.

She never thought that she would fall asleep here.

Opening her eyes, the spacious office was dead silent. Lu Shaoming did not come back.

Ning Qing looked at her watch. One hour had passed; it was 7.

She felt uncomfortable. They had not seen each other for 4 days, and he really did not miss her even a bit.

She wanted to break into tears. She used her slim arm and she slowly sat up. At this moment, the shirt covering her body slid down to her waist.

Ning Qing looked down and saw something. The tears in her eyes instantly went dry. She laughed out loud.

This rascal!

Her body was covered by a navy blue thin coat. It was the one that Lu Shaoming was wearing.

He came to see her!

Ning Qing laid back down on the sofa. Her two white hands touching the collar of the coat, she ducked her head into it to sniff it. Hmm, the scent of his body.

That clear and clean scent.

She thought of it for 4 whole days.

Her face felt hot, her body limp. He was clearly not here, but she was already immersed in his scent.

His scent alone was enough to make her go crazy.

Ning Qing buried her delicate soft face into his clothes. She opened her bright, shining eyes. He missed her also right?

Hehe.

Ning Qing walked out the office. She left a note for Lu Shaoming. It bore the words – Hubby, I’m going home, to our home. I’m going home to personally cook you something. Return quickly after you’re done with your meeting. Miss you, XOXO.

...

Ning Qing went back to the Tea Pavilion villa. Auntie Yang saw her return and said, “Madam, you are back. Is Sir coming home tonight? I will make dinner.”

“No need, Auntie Yang. Come be my assistant. He will back tonight. I will cook personally. ”

“Sure”

Ning Qing turned the stove on, and she was ready to start cooking when the phone in her pocket rang; it was a call from Mu Yunfan.

“Hello, Brother Yunfan.”

“Hello, Qingqing, I am drinking in the bar now. Some of my foreign classmates are in T city. We gathered for a meeting, Qingqing you should come.”

“I won’t be going, Shaoming is coming home tonight. I’m cooking up a meal for him.”

The voice on the other end went silent for a few moments, then laughed. “Qingqing, are you sure Young Master Lu will return home for dinner? It is such a coincidence. I saw him in this bar also, and there is an extremely stunning woman by his side.”

Ning Qing froze.

...

In the bar.

Ning Qing walked into the bar, observing her surroundings. She found Mu Yunfan’s table easily. He was drinking with a few foreigners.
