Chapter 175: Tell Him That I’ve Come from China to Find Him

When she had just closed her eyes, Lu Shaoming kept the hairdryer and began to pinch her tender little face. “Heartless little thing, you’re asleep just like this?”

Ning Qing’s small heart thumped chaotically in her chest. If she said she did not know the next program, it would definitely be a lie.

But she couldn’t take the initiative. She was still shy and reserved and had little experience.

She removed all four limbs from his waist and abdomen, rolled around the bed in the shape of a small tender ball, and went to sleep by herself.

Suddenly, a hot and broad chest stuck to her slim back. Lu Shaoming’s hand wrapped around her raised his body and kissed the half of her face buried in her pillow.

“It’s already New Year’s Day, little Wifey. You should grow up too.”

Ning Qing didn’t talk to him, he was taking an undeserved gain for granted. She was 21 and he was 31. Didn’t he like her for her young age?

Doing his best to bully her.

Ning Qing reached out to turn off the light, but her small hand was held in his palm. “Don’t switch it off, Wifey. Let me have a good look at you. I want to remember your appearance.”

Ning Qing swung up her little tender fist and hammered him. The girl’s voice was so charming, and she was behaving in an extremely spoiled manner. “Hmph, if you don’t look at me, will you forget me? Will you not remember how I look one day?”

She felt so full of grievances, nobody bullied someone as he did.

She loves him. She would never forget his appearance in her entire life. She would surely pick him out from a crowd with a single glance.

But now when he bullied her, he said such a thing.

She doesn’t like to hear it.

“Wifey, I won’t forget you. I’ll never forget you. Don’t be angry. It’s all Hubby’s fault. Don’t pout. Hubby’s heart will ache.”

Lu Shaoming grabbed her little face in one hand and kissed her forcefully.

His kiss was hard, quite different from his usual gentlemanly demeanor, so tyrannical and wild as if he wanted to lovingly crush her bones.

Ning Qing’s entire body was weak. Her small hands slowly made their way to his head, and she responded to him with shyly.

Lu Shaoming let go of her, and the girl’s delicate cheeks were dyed with a rouge-like flush like a peach blossom just blooming.

He reached out to open the drawer of the bed cabinet, where she had placed the thing she had bought at the supermarket today.

“Shaoming!” Ning Qing stopped him.

Lu Shaoming’s eyes were bright, and the usually composed man showed a faint joy. “Wifey, are you going to give birth to a baby for me?”

Ning Qing did not nod or shake her head. She buried her small face in his chest. She dared not look at him. “Shaoming, I’m afraid… Actually, I’m not ready to be a mother. I’m really too young. I’m still a child myself.”

Lu Shaoming touched her dainty nose and kissed her red lips. He murmured indulgently, “Fool, who asked you to have a baby and grow up overnight? Be it you or the baby, leave it all to me. I allow you to grow up with the baby, and I will support you.”

Many new mothers grow up overnight after they have babies, and those who could not grow up in time become depressed. But there are also many mothers who maintain their simple and charming character on the day their children get married. In fact, this was never a problem of reality, but a problem of your man.

In one’s life, people would be lucky to meet a man like Lu Shaoming. His wife was a big baby in his eyes. One day, his big baby would give birth to a little baby. He would be absolutely OK with taking care of both of them. His shoulders would shelter them from the wind and rain. He would protect them until the end of their lives.

This was really the most romantic thing in the world.

Ning Qing’s heart felt as if a feather had tickled it. She was so moved that she could not help but hold his neck tightly. She continued to act as a charming woman. “Hubby, I want to give you two babies, one son, and one daughter would be ideal. This is the dowry I’ll give you for our marriage. You married me and I’ll make a good life for you.”

One son and one daughter will bring a good life.

Lu Shaoming passionately kissed her and removed her small hand from his neck. He weaved his fingers through hers and held her hand. “Then I’ll wait for the good life that my wife brings me…”

Ning Qing’s body was a little stiff and she found it difficult to relax. After all, this was her first time trying to conceive.

Lu Shaoming comforted her again and again, and his soft voice was like the spring breeze in April. “Baby, don’t be nervous, you won’t get pregnant the first time. If you immediately conceive, then it’s God’s will.”

…

After an hour

Ning Qing’s small red face was buried in Lu Shaoming’s arms. Lu Shaoming, fumbled for a cigarette while half-naked and lit it. His left hand was holding her shoulder, while his right hand held the cigarette, and after taking a deep puff, he flicked the ash into the ashtray.

Ning Qing raised her small head to look at him, touched his prominent male Adam’s apple with her small hand, and began to ask, “Hubby, have you had any worries lately?”

There was nothing amiss, but her woman’s sixth sense always felt that something was wrong with him.

Lu Shaoming took a puff of a cigarette and looked down. He slowly exhaled the smoke on her face. “Yes… I’m going to England for business in a couple days. It’ll take me about a week.”

Ning Qing took a breath of smoke and choked on it quickly. Her already red face was even redder. He had never made the action of blowing the smoke towards her before.

Her little hand pinched him gently on his six pack, and she said in a charming voice, “What are you doing? You’re choking me!”

Lu Shaoming knows that she doesn’t like him smoking. Today was his first time smoking in the bedroom. He put out half of his cigarette in the ashtray, held her waist in both hands, and sat her in his embrace. There was heating in the bedroom. He pulled over the blanket and covered her shoulder.

“Are you angry? Don’t be angry Wifey. Hubby will make amends to you later.”

Ning Qing threw a small tender fist at him, he was indecent again.

She dove into his arms and buried her little head in his neck. “Hubby, is your business trip urgent? Tomorrow is the Spring Festival. Can you accompany me for a few more days and leave after the fifth day?”

Lu Shaoming rubbed her bright forehead with his firm jaw. A warm orange lamp was shining in the bedroom, and he was full of laziness after letting himself go. “Okay, I’ll listen to Wifey and leave on the fifth day.”

“Thank you, Hubby.” Ning Qing’s eyes curved with a smile, and she suddenly remembered something else. “Hubby, we have been married for so long. When are you going to take me to see your parents? The ugly daughter-in-law had to see her parents-in-law, after all, so don’t keep dragging it out.”

She had told him many times that she wanted to meet his parents, but he didn’t take it to heart. He was really busy with his work and always said that they would go when he was free.

But when would he be free?

“Alright, no more delays. When I get back from England, I’ll take you to America to see them.”

“Really?” Ning Qing was a little worried. “Hubby, will Mom and Dad dislike me?”

Lu Shaoming pinched her dainty nose and said adoringly, “Why would they? Whoever sees my little wife loves her; they will like you. And you’re living with me, not with them. We can only do our part well. We can’t force others to like us.”

There was a deep meaning in his words as if he was giving her an early vaccination.

“Hubby, you can rest assured that even if Mom and Dad don’t like me, I will try my best to please them on the account that they have given me such a good husband. As long as I show my goodness and filial piety, they will accept me.”

Ning Qing was full of confidence.

Lu Shaoming liked her cute appearance so much that he could hardly bear it. He held the back of her head with one hand and gave her a lingering kiss.

“Baby, find Zhu Rui when I’m not here if anything crops up, alright?”

“Oh, Hubby come back early.”

“Will do.”

…

10 days later.

Lu Shaoming left on the fifth day of the spring festival. Ning Qing took him to the airport, and then eagerly waited for him to come back, but he did not.

She could still call his phone the first few days that he was in England, but then he turned it off. Ning Qing asked Zhu Rui about it, but Zhu Rui only said that the president was busy, and asked her to wait at ease.

The more Ning Qing waited, the more uneasy she felt. Even if he was busy, did he need to switch off his phone all the time?

He had never been out of touch with her for so long.

Ning Qing felt as anxious as a cat on hot bricks. She felt that Zhu Rui must know something, but he wouldn’t tell her. She came up with an idea and carried her bag to Guang Qing.

She went to Zhu Rui’s office and pushed the door open.

Zhu Rui was stunned when he saw her. He then quickly welcomed her up and respectfully said, “Madam, you are here, the president has not decided on the return schedule. When the president comes back, I will tell you immediately.”

Ning Qing frowned and said solemnly, “Secretary Zhu, how long do you want to lie to me? Paper can’t wrap fire, I already know.”

“What? Madam, you… ” Zhu Rui’s face changed.

Ning Qing was even surer of the idea in her heart. Her eyes were red and she was in tears. “Secretary Zhu, why don’t you tell me what happened to your president? I’m his wife. I have the right to know. If he has any shortcomings, I don’t want to live too, I…”

“Madam.” Zhu Rui interrupted Ning Qing and began to persuade her, “There’s nothing serious with the president. You must not do anything foolish. The president flew to England to have a brain operation to remove glass shards. In fact, the operation was very successful, but when he woke up, the president had lost part of his memory and forgot you.”

Forgot you?

Ning Qing stared at him and stepped back. Her ears were ringing. She hardly knew what Zhu Rui was talking about.

He didn’t go to England for business but for surgery?

He didn’t even tell her.

How could he possibly forget her?

No!

Never!

Ning Qing looked down and let the tears fall from her eyes. She calmly said, “Was it the time when he was hit by the car and hurt his head? Why didn’t he take me with him when he had an operation?”

No wonder that during the Spring Festival, she had felt that something was wrong with him. He had hidden his illness.

Zhu Rui didn’t want Madam to misunderstand the president. He sighed and explained, “Madam, the president didn’t tell you because he was afraid that you would be sad. The surgery has risks. He knew you couldn’t stand it if something were to go wrong.”

Ning Qing nodded. “Secretary Zhu, where is he now? Can you tell me his address? I want to find him. How can you be sure that he had forgotten me? Maybe when I appear in front of him and tell him about our past, he will remember me. Wouldn’t it be too cruel for you to sentence me to death without letting me try?”

“This…” Zhu Rui was in a dilemma. He looked at Ning Qing’s red eyes and said in a low voice, “Madam, the president is in the United States. He’s back at the Lu family house.”

Back at the Lu family house?

Ning Qing understood that he was with his parents. His family had all settled in the United States. He once said that because of her, he focused his work in T city.

Looking at Zhu Rui’s awkward expression and how he was biting his tongue, Ning Qing had also guessed the problem. Lu Shaoming did not remember her. She had never seen her parents-in-law. Now, he had returned to the Lu family house. She was probably unable to even step through the door of the Lu family house.

“Alright, Secretary Zhu, thank you. I’m leaving.” Ning Qing turned and left.

…

Ning Qing took a bus to the airport. Xiao Zhou greeted her at the airport and handed her the airplane ticket and passport. “Ning Qing, this is the address of the Lu family that you asked me to check in the United States. The Lu family has a big business. They live in the most luxurious section of Wall Street in the United States. They are the aristocrats of the financial industry, so they are easy to monitor.”

Ning Qing nodded and murmured, “Xiao Zhou, It will take me a few days to go to the United States. I will hold a press conference to formally state my return to the entertainment industry when I’m back. Before that, wait for my word.”

“Okay.” Xiao Zhou embraced Ning Qing. “Ning Qing, you can go and find Young Master Lu at ease. Your man matters most, your career can rank second.”

…

Ning Qing got off the plane at 8 a.m. U.S Eastern time. She did not go to the Lu family house immediately after leaving the airport. Instead, she went to the mall to pick out some gifts.

It was very impolite to go empty-handed to see her parents-in-law for the first time, but she didn’t know what her parents-in-law liked, so she couldn’t decide on what to get.

The Lu family was very rich and not short of gifts. They looked down on ordinary things. Ning Qing walked half the length of Wall Street until 4 p.m. before finalizing the gifts. She looked for them by address with two or three bags.

As she stood in front of the Lu family house Gate, only then did Ning Qing really realized the wealth and status of the Lu family.

This was a milky white villa with European and American style. It was a classic manor on a huge property.

In addition to the spire of the main building, the villa had a small castle-like bungalow. In front of the four-story main building, there was a Chinese-style flat-roofed corridor with maple-colored cane chairs and retro-palace-style building lights full of classical elegance.

Ning Qing was standing outside the carved gate at the moment. Her vision was filled with boundless mowed lawns, pale yellow cobblestoned paths, green olive trees, and fountains of flowing water in front of the villa gate.

This kind of image could only be seen on TV or in magazines, but it had clearly appeared in front of Ning Qing’s eyes now.

Apart from the shock, Ning Qing’s heart was slightly disappointed. Lu Shaoming was like the Prince Charming who had fallen from the sky to her. Now the Prince did not remember her, she had become Cinderella again.

Ning Qing raised her eyes. Even though she had guessed the bumps of the road ahead, she would surely be able to find her lover in the seven-color auspicious clouds with a smile.

She was Lu Shaoming’s wife.

No one could change that.

She loves him.

Even if she took 1000 steps back, even if he had really forgotten her, she believed that his feelings for her were still there.

Ning Qing took the first two steps and rang the doorbell.

Quickly someone came to the villa and a kind old housekeeper in his 50s said, “Miss, who are you looking for?”

Ning Qing nodded politely and smiled. “Hello, I’m looking for Lu Shaoming. Please tell him that my name is Ning Qing and I’ve come from China to find him.”

The old housekeeper looked at Ning Qing and nodded. “Okay, miss, wait a moment. I’ll let him know.”
