Chapter 331: Ning Qing And Her Male Harem
The moment she moved, the hair in his palm fell into mid air, then fell onto her shoulders.
His palm was empty.
It was only her hair that brushed past his palm, and it was enough to leave behind a numb feeling.
It made others’ hearts move.
Lu Shaoming kept his hands back and caressed Little Young Master Lu’s back lightly. He lowered his gaze to kiss Little Young Master Lu’s face wherever the woman had kissed before, and his cold, firm, and handsome face had a gentleness to it. “Little Young Master Lu, did you miss Daddy? When Mama is raising you, you cannot mess around, and you cannot make it too hard for Mama, okay?”
Ning Qing held her son’s small hand, and there was not too much of an expression on her face while she said, “I have given a name to Little Young Master Lu; it is Lu Qinwen.”
Lu Qinwen.
Lu Shaoming read out this name inside his heart. Qin referred to beautiful jade, and it had the meaning of virtue and talent.
He looked sideways at the small woman. In a month’s time, she had come to look more lively, and her small, fair, exquisite face had a layer of healthy pink on it.
“Okay, it’s a good name.”
Ning Qing nodded her head and kissed her son’s small, fragrant hand. “Little Qinwen is already four months old. For the next two days, send your secretary to help Little Qinqen register his Hukou documentation.”
Lu Shaoming looked at the small woman who was a foot away from him. The tip of his nose had the fragrance on her body, and it was the scent of both a woman and the soft scent of a new mother.
He felt his heart go soft.
He slowly stretched out his large hand and wanted to caress her small face.
At this moment, “Qingqing.” Someone was calling her.
Ning Qing looked towards the back and stretched out her hand to pick Little Qinwen up.” Little Qinwen, grandmother is calling us. Mama will carry you. Say bye to Daddy.”
Lu Shaoming’s hand was still in mid air. Little Qinwen, who had just been in his embrace, saw that his Mama wanted to carry him and did not hesitate as he escaped from his Daddy’s embrace. He gurgled in laughter as he entered his Mama’s embrace.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt this moment, they did not have anything to say. Ning Qing also did not want to speak. She carried Little Qin Wen as she turned around to leave.
Until the woman turned at the bend as she disappeared from his line of vision, he heard the sound of chatting. Yue Wanqing was asking her, “Qingqing, what were you doing just now? I was looking for you all over the place.”
The woman answered calmly, and said, “Oh, I came across a friend just now. I chatted with him for a while. Mum, let’s go home now.”
His large hand that was frozen in mid air slowly drooped down. It fell beside his side. Lu Shaoming lifted his eyebrows and leaned back on the grocery rack disappointedly.
His heart was empty.
Since the two of them had got married, she always stood at a spot that within his hand’s reach. Now, she had left.
...
A month later
Ning Qing brought her new work, <Lurker>, to debut officially in the entertainment industry. <Lurker> was screened at the same time on both the net and prime time television slot, airing one episode every week.
After three weeks, this drama successfully created hype that seemed unstoppable, and had rated better than any other program. It topped the drama charts online and the chat forums, and it possessed the first position on Douban’s good comments.
This drama successfully broke the new trend of having a young and handsome male lead in the entertainment industry. Ning Qing personally created a new wave to successfully dominate over half of the entertainment industry, and she has created a new trend and new definition of what was fashionable.
Ning Qing also rode the coattails of this drama to ride back into everyone’s line of vision. By her own merit, she has transformed from a junior director into a skilled director. She had turned herself into the most popular celebrity at the moment, and there was no other person who could exceed her.
Lu Shaoming participated in a banquet that night.
It was the birthday banquet for a longtime Lu family friend, the old master of the Lin family, and it was held in the famous banquet hall in T City.
All of the upper class elite members of T City had gathered at the banquet tonight. Everyone was dressed up to the nines, and they were all interacting with each other merrily.
“Young Master Lu, it turns out that you are here. I have been searching for you for such a long time.” Tang Sitian, who was wearing a pink dress, lifted her skirt as she ran hurriedly towards Lu Shaoming’s side, and she had a sweet smile on her face.
Lu Shaoming was in the middle of conversing with a president of a company. As far as Tang Sitian’s bothering him, he had become used to it over the past month.
That president smiled as he left, and Lu Shaoming walked beside the table, lifted a glass of red wine, and took a tiny sip.
“Young Master Lu, why are you not bothering with me? I have chased after you for an entire month already, but you won’t even look at me once!” Tang Sitian pouted her small lips and was feeling wronged as she spoke.
Lu Shaoming curled the corners of his lips up into a light arc and silently counted in his heart. One, two, three....
“Sitian.” At this moment, Tang Xueli started to chide her saying, “Why have you come and bothered Young Master Lu again? I have already sent someone to take you on the plane, but you’ve snuck back again. How many times have I told you? Young Master Lu is married!”
Tang Sitian looked at her second oldest brother and did not give up. “But...”
“But what?”
Tang Sitian looked at Zhou Zhilei, who was standing aside. She did not say anymore. It was her second sister-in-law who had told her that Young Master Lu was living separate from his wife, and they were about to get divorced soon.
Second Sister-in-law still encouraged her to pursue her own happiness. Second sister-in-law had said Young Master Lu had many girls who liked him. If she did not take the chance now, Young Master Lu would be snatched away by someone else.
That was why she daringly chased after Young Master Lu.
Tang Xueli looked at Lu Shaoming, smiled, and said, “Young Master Lu, I am sorry. My younger sister is doing something wrong, and she has bothered you.”
“It’s nothing.” Lu Shaoming shook his head politely, and lifted his feet to walk away.
At this moment, the manager of the hotel brought his subordinates over in a hurry. The manager found President Lin and bent his head down. Using his hand to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead, he frantically said, “President Lin, I am so sorry. A few days ago, the main lobby of the hobby was reserved by our Old President to another person, because I was not informed of this, I had given you the approval to use this location for your old senior’s birthday celebration.”
President Lin heard his words and the expression on his face darkened. “What do you mean by this?”
“The meaning is, can we invite President Lin to move over to another large hall, the guests of this banquet hall are on their way here already...”
The manager had not finished what he wanted to say. ” What?” President Lin interrupted him angrily. “It is my mother’s 80th grand birthday today. We are already in the middle of the birthday banquet, but you actually ask us to leave? The guests who have come to attend this birthday celebration are all the elite and wealthy members of T City. Can’t you just go and negotiate with that guest?”
The manager was put on the spot as he said, “This...”
This stirred up the attention of many others. Everyone channeled their gazes over to their direction and said, “That’s right, what kind of distinguished guest is that? Could it be actually be that all of the members of the upper classed society will have to vacate and let out a path for that sole person?”
The manager: “...”
Lu Shaoming had a hand in his pocket while he looked at the staff members standing behind the manager. He had a glazed glass cup in his hands that was meant to be a decoration piece, and that flowing liquid in the glass had a smiling face that looked just like a flower in full bloom.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps approached, and Lu Shaoming lifted his gaze to look.
A group of reporters emerged, and the sound of camera shutter sounds kept going off non stop. A group of bodyguards that came to clear the way, and a petite figure emerged in the sea of people.
Ning Qing.
Ning Qing was dressed in a long pink dress today. The long train of the dress was exquisite and in the shape of a lotus. The space below the collar was covered with colourful, sparkling crystals. The long dress was floor length, and she had a pair of milky white high heeled shoes, looking regal and elegant.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer chestnut coloured curls were tied up in an updo with a crystal clip to secure it. There were a few strands of hair that fell beside her snow white earlobes, and she had light exquisite makeup on her face. That small face was exquisite and absolutely perfect, and she looked both beautiful and gentle.
Lu Shaoming straightened up. His gaze landed on the woman’s body and did not leave for a single second.
Everyone headed for this banquet hall. They turned back to have a look. Two groups of people were staring at each other, and the scene was very awkward.
Xiao Zhou made her way through the journalists. She lifted her gaze to look at the sign on the banquet hall, and she looked at the general manager. “Manager, who are these people? We have personally reserved this banquet hall with your Senior President to let us use this banquet hall for the press conference for <Lurker>! What is happening right now?”
“This, this...” the manager was dripping with cold sweat.
Zhou Zhilei looked at Ning Qing, who was confident. She was burning with anger. She took a step forward, smiled, and said, “It’s really such a coincidence, this banquet hall was already reserved by the general manager as the venue for the grand birthday celebration of the Senior member of the Lin family. Could it actually be that you are asking all people of T City to pave the way and give in to your conference?”
Xiao Zhou looked at Zhou Zhilei and felt the fire of anger in her belly. This damned person appeared everywhere and could not disappear from their sight!
Xiao Zhou laughed coldly and said, “Miss Zhou, if you have to speak like this, then please have a look. These people are journalists from the media outlets in T City. Everyone in the city has been watching and following every one of the three episodes of <Lurker> that we have aired. It is not only the press conference of <Lurker> tonight, but it is also the first press conference after our Ning Qing has officially returned to the entertainment industry. The fans have come from all parts of the world, and as a representative of the many thousands of fans that Ning Qing has, could it actually be that Miss Zhou wants to make all the fans in the country to wait for you instead?”
“You!” Zhou Zhilei was at a loss for words. This Xiao Zhou was truly Ning Qing’s lacky. Even her glib tongue was exactly the same as Ning Qing.
Lu Shaoming looked at the fans stopped behind the safety line by the security guards. Those fans had the Ning Qing’s poster in their hands, and they were all excited and joyous.
The elites in T City could be compared to the angry fans, and it was no wonder that the manager of the hotel did not dare to negotiate with Ning Qing.
There were people behind him talking amongst themselves. “Oh my god, is this the press conference for <Lurker>? I am following every episode of this drama. The storyline is so good.”
“That’s right, the uncle in this drama is so handsome. I am almost ready to salivate. Let me see! Oh my god, the main characters of the drama are standing behind Ning Qing. Ning Qing has brought her male harem along with her.”
Lu Shaoming looked at Ning Qing. There were three immaculately dressed men standing behind Ning Qing. They were all older than 30 years old, and they were the mature and handsome type.
Ning Qing did not bother with him. She looking straight in front of her, and she was talking to the man beside her. There was a mesmerizing, beautiful smile on the corners of her lips. action
She looked to be in a good mood.
At this moment, Tang Xueli stood beside Lu Shaoming and laughed softly. “Young Master Lu, I don’t know if you’ve watched the new drama that your wife has filmed. Those 3 main leading characters had not achieved fame on their own yet. They had to practise the enunciation in their voices and memorize scripts, but after they had participated in the drama your wife is directing, they’ve immediately been propelled to the roster of A-list celebrities.
“No wonder there is not even one journalist from the media at this birthday celebration today. It turns out that they all have run over to your wife’s side. Both your wife and her male harem have dominated all entertainment headlines for half a month’s time already. Her career is developing well right now. It seems like she has already forgotten about you.”
Lu Shaoming did not say a single word, and he focused solely on that woman.
At this moment, Ning Qing noticed the abnormality on this end. She lifted her feet as she came forward. With her elegant and melodious voice, she said, “Xiao Zhou, what’s wrong?”
Even though the people in T City were all familiar with Ning Qing already, she looked resplendent in her long crystal gown, and they all gasped upon looking at her.
At this moment, the general manager came forward, and with a smile on his face, he carefully said, “Ning Qing, there is a situation going on with this banquet hall, I...”
The general manager had not finished speaking, Zhou Zhilei interrupted him saying, “Big Director Ning, this banquet hall has been reserved as a venue for a senior member of the Lin family for her 80th birthday. Are you chasing the birthday girl away?”
