Chapter 200: Has Not Had Her Period For More Than A Month
Ning Qing sat on the plane that night to fly to Europe. When she reached her destination, it was between afternoon and sunset in Finland. She took out her phone to check the address that Zhu Rui had sent her, and she found herself in front of a pretty villa.
Ning Qing stepped onto the turf of the villa. She stood in front of the main doors of the villa and pressed the doorbell. Ding! After it rang thrice, someone came to open the doors. Ning Qing’s two small hands grabbed onto her own sling bag tightly; she was nervous and emotional. The moment the doors of the villa opened, she had a sweet smile that resembled a blooming flower and said, “Shaoming…”
The person that stood by the door was not Lu Shaoming, but it was… Zhou Zhilei.
The smile on Ning Qing’s face froze instantly. This was the first time she interacted directly with Zhou Zhilei. Maybe it was just because she was her rival in love, but she did not like this woman.
Why would she appear in Lu Shaoming’s villa? Ning Qing looked towards Zhou Zhilei and gave her a glance. Zhou Zhilei was only wearing a man’s white shirt, and the shirt belonged to Lu Shaoming.
Ning Qing felt her entire heart sink; no women were able to be generous when facing the man they love. This woman was wearing her man’s shirt to appear in front of her man’s house. This was probably the plot of a melodramatic novel, but it was playing out in reality before her eyes. What should she do next?
Zhou Zhilei stood by the side of the door. Because of the steps, she was situated higher up, and she had a clear look of Ning Qing. She leaned against the door lazily, using both arms to wrap her chest and she smiled calmly. “Is it Miss Ning? Are you here to look for Brother Ming? Should I help you call him?”
The words from Zhou Zhilei had the tone of a female owner of the house. Just like she knew beforehand that a guest from far had arrived. Ning Qing laughed coldly in her heart. She did not believe that Zhou Zhilei did not know that she was Lu Shaoming’s wife. What was her behaviour right now indicating? Was she provoking her? Or boasting in front of her?
Ning Qing curled her lips into a smile and said, “Miss Zhou, then I would pardon to call Shaoming. I did come here to look for him.” Zhou Zhilei had a flash of disdain in her eyes. She turned her head and shouted in the direction of the villa “Brother Ming, are you done showering? Miss Ning is here for you.”
Ning Qing’s expression was normal, but her face slowly started to turn pale.
Within a minute, Lu Shaoming appeared beside the door. He had really just stepped out of the shower. His hair was still wet, and the white shirt on him seemed to have been put on in a rush. He’d only buttoned two buttons, revealing his masculine, sexy collarbones and his chest. He did not have a belt around his trousers.
Ning Qing saw him and felt wronged. She stepped onto the stairs, stretched out her hand to tug onto the edge of his clothes, and said gently, “Shaoming…”
“What are you here for?” The man interrupted her coldly. Ning Qing’s small hand that was tugging onto the edge of his shirt froze, and in her peripheral vision, she saw Zhou Zhilei smiling evilly.
“Shaoming, you have been on a business trip for so long and I missed you so I came to look for you. Can I go in to talk? I am so cold. Can you not let me stand outside the door?” She stood outside the door. He and Zhou Zhilei was standing inside.
She was really like an outsider.
One of Lu Shaoming’s hands was stuck in his pocket. Another hand continued to button the buttons on his shirt. The bones of the man’s large hands were clearly defined. Even when he was buttoning the buttons lazily, it brought out an air of elegance with a touch of laziness. He was very attractive.
After hearing her say that she was cold, Lu Shaoming lifted his gaze to look at her. She was wearing a pink winter coat outside, paired together with black pencil trousers that were tight fitting. She had a pair of flat khaki boots, and she looked sweet and cute. Her elegant nose was frozen red. Her small face was a little pale, and she looked at him with hurt, weak eyes.
Lu Shaoming’s cold expression became gentle but his lines were still tight. “Ning Qing, return home quickly. I have things here to settle, and I don’t have time to bother with you.”
Was he not allowing her to enter?
Ning Qing lowered her gaze and looked down at her feet. Her plain voice did not have any expression, “Okay, are you busy? You are so busy until you did not have time to send a single text for the past 10 days? You are so busy that you are unwilling to let me enter to have a conversation with you? Why is Zhou Zhilei inside your villa? Why is she wearing your clothes? Why are you showering in the afternoon? You don’t have the time to explain all these things to me? I really want to know.” Upon hearing her words, the man did not have any response.
A strong gust of brittle wind blew. Lu Shaoming turned around to enter the villa.
“Lu Shaoming!” Seeing him leave, Ning Qing immediately used her small hand to grab onto his sleeve. She apologized with red eyes.”Sorry, sorry! I know that you are tired with work. It’s also not my place to question you. Are you angry; do you think I am making a fuss out of nothing? I will apologize. I am in the wrong. I only…feel a little wronged and cannot control myself.” After hearing her speak, Lu Shaoming turned his gaze over and said, “Ning Qing, don’t make me angry. Return home by yourself, okay?”
Bang! Lu Shaoming shut the door.
…
In the villa
Zhou Zhilei had a deep smile underneath her eyes. She imagined that moment when the doors shut. Ning Qing froze and had a blank expression, and she felt so satisfied. When she felt her heart skip in delight, she felt a cold and sharp expression scan her body. She lifted her gaze to look, and only saw Lu Shaoming scan the white shirt on her body twice. He then slowly curled his lips and seemed a little cynical.
Zhou Zhilei turned red. She had known Lu Shaoming from a young age. He always had an air of masculine greatness that seemed threatening. Even if he didn’t speak, that sharp glare was enough to see through others. Zhou Zhilei smiled forcefully. “Brother Ming, I forgot to take my clothes when I was showering just now, so I borrowed your white shirt to wear for a moment.”
“So you forgot to bring your own clothes into the shower, but you chose to bring my clothes instead?” Lu Shaoming’s sharp gaze that was akin to a hawk’s had a cold satisfaction to it. “Zhilei, you have always been the most perfect daughter of a wealthy family in my mother’s eyes. I thought you would never be able to do such a thing – taking a man’s shirt without asking. We are all adults. Do you think I don’t understand the meaning behind you doing so?”
Zhou Zhilei felt her face burn painfully like fire. A few simple words from him was akin to slapping her cruelly. “Brother Ming, I…”
Lu Shaoming looked down at his wrist watch. “The time is about right, go change your clothes quickly. Later, we are going to attend Tony’s dinner appointment. Remember what to do, and fulfil your own role properly!” Lu Shaoming went upstairs swiftly.
Zhou Zhilei looked at that man’s cruel back profile and stomped her feet.
…
Lu Shaoming returned to his own room. His hair was still dripping. When he heard Zhou Zhilei say that Ning Qing was here, he rushed out of the shower and put on his clothes and went downstairs.
He did not think she would come looking for him.
There were blood vessel under his tired eyes. He had not slept well for an entire week, and there was a problem with one of the factories in Europe. It had been forcefully overtaken by a local gangster, Tony. These past few days, he was always at the factory, and he had returned to the villa only one hour ago to take a shower.
He had settled the problems with the factory, but Tony kidnapped the factory leader’s wife who was 6 months pregnant. This dinner appointment was for him to save a life. He still had a lot of matters to settle. He really did not have the time to worry about Ning Qing. Ning Qing should not have come. Her arrival now was really fanning the fire!
He was now in Finland. He could not win the locals here. Every action of his was under Tony’s surveillance. Her arrival now – if it was known by Tony, she would definitely be in danger. Tony would get her in order to threaten him. If she stayed by his side, it would be too dangerous.
Zhou Zhilei arrived 3 or 4 days ago. When she went to the factory, Tony coincidentally saw her and she told Tony that she was his girlfriend. He did not retaliate; he actually needed woman by his side. If not, if Tony gave him a random woman, how could he reject him?
Lu Shaoming took out his phone to dial a number. “Hello, bring the girl in front of my villa away. Take her to the airport. Have her go back to the country immediately.” After ending the call, Lu Shaoming was in front of the mirror tying his tie. Time was tight. The 6-months-pregnant woman was in danger in Tony’s hands. His mind thought of that girl’s pale small face, and also her red eyes when she came to question him. Silly girl, what was she thinking?
She said she missed him. Actually, he also missed her.
He did not purposely ignore her calls and text messages. He was really busy, and he could not divert his attention. He was afraid that once he contacted her, he would not be able to control himself. After he settled these matters, he would explain it all to her.
…
Ning Qing looked at the tightly closed doors in a daze. Lu Shaoming actually locked her outside?
He was really willing to do so?
Ning Qing did not ever think that coming over to look for him would turn out like this. the way he was behaving with Zhou Zhilei… No matter how gracious she was and no matter how much she trusted him, shouldn’t he give her an explanation? Not only did he not explain, he also was fierce and impatient towards her.
He chased her away!
In front of Zhou Zhilei.
The tears in Ning Qing’s eyes rolled down constantly. She turned around, and at this moment, she saw a few bodyguards come towards her from outside. The bodyguards pointed towards her and ran over to catch her. Ning Qing was shocked and ran off in a flash. She could not use the main door, so she ran to the back doors of the villa. The back door was locked. With great agility, she scaled the wall and jumped down. When she landed on the ground, her kneecaps crashed into her abdomen.
“Ahh!” The tears in Ning Qing’s eyes were like pearls that broke off the string and came rolling down.
It hurt.
She used her two small hands to cup her abdomen. Her stomach was in great pain.
Ning Qing suddenly recalled that she has not had her period for more than 1 month. It was delayed for 2 weeks. Her cycle was usually not regular, and there were times when it was delayed.
Ning Qing bit down on her pink lips while she sobbed. She thought of the 30th lunar day of the New Year, that man was passionate towards her…
There is another reason for a missed period. Could she be? Ning Qing looked at her own flat stomach. Could she be pregnant?
At this moment, she heard a bodyguard say, “This way, look for her quick. Don’t let her slip away.” Ning Qing immediately stood up and hid in a secluded alleyway. She looked at the bodyguards run far away in the distance and let out a sigh of relief. Why was she this unlucky? Who has she offended that these people were here to catch her?
At this moment a luxury SUV passed by her, Ning Qing looked at the window that was wound down and saw Zhou Zhilei. She was beside Lu Shaoming. The man’s gaze was dark and left her with a strong impression that was like a knife on his handsome face. Ning Qing ran on the main street and stretched out her hand to flag a cab. “Driver, follow the car in front of us!”
…
The taxi stopped in front of a luxurious hotel. Ning Qing reached into her bag to take out money and said in English, “Driver, how much is the fare?” The driver was a native Finn. He used the rear view mirror to look at her delicate and pretty Asian face. He laughed evilly and said, “It’s free….” He turned around to touch Ning Qing’s small hand and said, “Girl, do you sell yourself? How much money, to sleep with you for one night?”
