Chapter 404: After So Many Years, She Had Not Forgotten A Single Bit
The senior presidents that came from overseas all gathered around to look at Little Qinwen with their eyes shining brightly. “Mr. Lu, this is your son? So cute! Hi….”
The senior presidents waved their hands at Little Qinwen.
At this moment, Little Qinwen was very bored. He did not want to come to attend this competition at all, but he was frustrated that he was still too young. He pouted his lips and acted cutely but it was of no use, and he was dragged along by Daddy’s two fingers.
Daddy even threatened him. He had to perform better. If not, he would be greeted with a slap.
Wahh wahh wahh.
Facing the gazes of the senior presidents, Little Qinwen fluttered his large eyes that were just like grapes. They were like sparkling pearls in the night sky. What were all of them saying? Could they speak Chinese that I could understand?
The senior presidents saw Little Qinwen, and he was way too adorable. Someone used English to ask him, “Little kid, where is your Mummy?”
Mummy?
Little Qinwen was excited upon hearing that. He turned his head to search for his Mummy.
At this moment, a group of people came into the main hall. They were the participants in the red wine competition. They were all dressed in the same uniform. It was a white Chinese style long dress adorned with black calligraphy art and green bamboo.
Little Qinwen saw his Mummy on the first glance among the group of people. She was the most beautiful and most eye catching one among them all.
Mummy was really so beautiful.
He used his small finger to point at her, and called her with his childish voice, “Mummy… My Mummy!”
At this moment, Ning Qing heard Little Qinwen calling her. She turned her head back in the crowd and saw her own cute and handsome son, and she immediately had a gentle smile on her face.
After that, her gaze stopped on Lu Shaoming’s figure. That man was staring at her, he lifted his elegant eyebrows slightly and was scanning her small face casually.
Ning Qing’s small, exquisite face had two red patches. At this moment, they were both in deep romance. How could she stand his mature expression in his eyes?
Furthermore, in the competition, she was competing in his presence. He had tasted so many famed wines before. He was a member of the upper class society, and she was a little shy.
The senior presidents that came over overseas also noticed Ning Qing. She wore a white Chinese style dress. With her wavy hair, there was someone about whom people would exclaim, “Such a beautiful Chinese girl. She looks just as if she just walked out of a Chinese painting!”
At this moment, a deep and charming voice rang out in the air. “Wife…. My wife!”
The senior presidents that came from overseas were taken aback. Who was the one speaking at that moment? It was no different from a young cute boy’s tone.
Mummy….My Mummy!
Wife….My wife!
It was so confident and dominating.
The old man, the small man, they both pampered this woman.
The senior presidents all crashed into Lu Shaoming’s gaze.
Ning Qing looked at him. The man was conversing softly with those foreigners. She could not hear them too clearly, and she only saw the side profile that he left her with. He was handsome and lanky. His sexy maroon lips were moving lightly, and he looked as if he was speaking a foreign language.
She only needed to think about it, and felt herself go soft. He was fluent in so many languages, and she was mesmerized by that fact.
At this moment, she saw the foreign senior presidents looked in her direction, and they were laughing before they greeted her politely. “Mrs. Lu…”
She heard them addressing her as “Mrs. Lu” clearly this time, and she speedily greeted them back.
The seniors presidents that he had business connections with, she has not met many of them. Actually, he also rarely went for business dinners. There were some nights that he came back smelling of alcohol. His dark eyes were still clear and bright, and he looked at her with a hot gaze.
So Ning Qing believed in one sentence: men would act recklessly…after drinking alcohol.
He was no exception.
Ning Qing greeted them before she averted her eyes. She spoke to the person beside her, and she had a good look. These senior presidents were probably upper class elites. If not they would not talk to Lu Shaoming, the people around them did not dare approach them, and they could only smile awkwardly.
It was an occasion for the wealthy.
She did not want to interact too closely with those senior presidents. There would be a voting round in the competition. She did not wish that those people would vote for her just because she’s “Mrs. Lu.”
She had to avoid drawing attention to herself.
Lu Shaoming was also too much. Couldn’t he wait for the competition to be over before he introduced her as “Mrs. Lu?” Didn’t he know anything about keeping a low profile?
Despite her thoughts, Ning Qing had layer of sweetness in her heart. She liked him to behave like this, pointing at her while introducing her as his wife.
She liked it very much.
Ning Qing followed the group of people backstage, Little Qin Wen noticed his own Mummy left again, and he was extremely anxious.
“Mama…Mama…” He lifted his heels as he wanted to chase after his own Mama.
But he had yet to move his legs when the collar of his shirt was tugged. He turned his head back, and as expected, his tall, lanky daddy was him with two fingers.
Little Qinwen shook his sleeve, and his pink cheeks were puffed up. He placed both of his hands on his waist and snorted out loud. Who asked you to keep me from Mama!
Lu Shaoming did not bother with him. He let go of him and continued to converse with the senior presidents beside him.
At this moment, Zhu Rui came forward and bent over. He coaxed him with a gentle tone as he said, “Little Young Master, Mama needs to participate in the red wine competition today. We have to be obedient today. Entertain yourself and wait after Mama gets first place. We will go to look for her then.”
Little Qin Wen: Hmph.
Hmph hmph hmph!
Zhu Rui: “…”
Zhu Rui wanted to leave. How could he coax this little Young Master of his? At this moment, a light pink shadow came beside him. A soft, gentle tone rang out in the air. “Little Qinwen, why are you unhappy? Tell Aunty why.”
Jian Han arrived.
The moment Little Qinwen saw Jian Han, he felt extremely wrong. He pouted his tiny lips and was on the brink of crying. “Daddy and Uncle are bad…. I want Mama…”
Jian Han’s gentle almond-shaped face bore a smile, and she said, “Little Qinwen, Mama needs go to brew red wine now. Brewing wine is hard work. Mama doesn’t have time to play with Little Qinwen. Our Little Qin Wen is the most obedient baby. You wouldn’t want Mama to have it even harder, right?”
Little Qin Wen pondered for a while. It seemed to make sense. He stopped sniffling his tiny nose, and he nodded his head like a little chick pecking on rice.
Jian Han seemed to have magic in her hands. She opened her right hand up, and there was a piece of cake there! “Little Qin Wen, this is for you to eat. It is a reward. It is very very delicious.”
Little Qin Wen’s eyes lit up. He quickly grabbed the cake, and he opened his tiny pink lips up. He had a little bit at a time as he ate it very elegantly. He had a good upbringing as he said, “Thank you…Aunty.”
Jian Han touched his small head, and she had a loving expression in her eyes as she said, “You don’t have to thank me.”
Zhu Rui was delighted. He bent over and softly told Jian Han, “Doctor Jian that has the best method to coax small kids.”
Jian Han curled the corners of her lips up. She naturally liked kids. Little Qinwen was still so cute, and she liked him very much. She did not know whether it was a little boy or girl in her own stomach. She would like either.
She was also going to be a mother soon.
As she was standing in delight, she heard someone suddenly say, “Young Master Zhou.”
Jian Han froze. Is…Zhou Dayuan already here?
Everyone had originally respected him and addressed him as “Doctor Zhou.” She rarely heard them greeting him as “Young Master Zhou,” but he was also the young master in the Zhou family, and when the person greeted “Young Master Zhou,” it was a natural form of address.
Jian Han was a little delighted inside her heart. This also turned out to be good. She was leaving, and he could lead a quiet and peaceful life. He would enjoy everything that he should have enjoyed. He did not lack good girls, and that Li Beibei from that time was pretty good.
She would just leave it like that, and they could forget each other from now onwards.
Jian Han lifted her head slightly and looked at the person in front of her.
Zhou Dayuan had really arrived. The man was dressed in a white shirt and black trousers. He had a pure expression on his handsome and gentle face.
He came this time, not as a doctor, but as the young master of the Zhou family. He placed both of his hands in his pocket as he walked. The staff member handed a document over to him, and he said something back to him softly.
He has not changed much, but he seemed even more solemn. This did not affect his attractiveness. He was a man with a cold and pure aura; the more silent he got, the more mesmerizing he got.
In Jian Han’s heart, he was always that genius Zhou Dayuan that swept across Oxford.
He was high and mighty, and he was somewhere far beyond her reach.
Maybe she was wrong then. She should not have gone to attract his attention. She could not afford to have a man like him. Just look at the difference in status between them: she was squatting down, and he was standing up, and he was looking down at her from up high.
“Dayuan.” At that moment, someone called out to him. It was Lu Shaoming.
Zhou Dayuan walked straight forward. He stopped before Lu Shaoming, and both of them were conversing with one another.
It was only then that Jian Han knew what it was like to be awkward. She was accompanying Little Qin Wen. Little Qin Wen was close to both men, and she was also very close to them both. He did not have her in his eyes, and she was such a huge person that took up some space, but he did not even cast a gaze at him at all.
She also did not dare to lift her gaze up to look at him again. She was afraid that she would be insulted by his cold gaze and be in pain instead, and she was scared that he would say those hurtful words again.
It turned out that he also hurt someone so easily.
She did not know how to debate, and she was not his opponent.
If she knew how to talk back, that day in the bar, when he complimented that woman for being only 20 years old… She was both tender and beautiful. She should have told him off. When she was together with him, she was even more tender. She fell in love with him when she was only 18 years old. Ever since then, no matter how much time passed, she could not forget him at all.
14 years, and she has given the most beautiful years she had as a woman to him.
Jian Han wanted to stand up, but at this moment, a soft voice called out to her. “Aunty, hug me, hug me…” Little Qinwen finished the cake and dashed into her embrace into a moment.
She was squatting down for a long period of time. Her legs were a little numb, and when she did not take notice, Little Qinwen stumbled into her as he dashed into her embrace, and both of them fell towards the floor.
“Ah!” she lightly yelled out of instinct.
At this moment, a muscular arm wrapped around her waist. “Jian Han, be careful.” Her entire body was brought into a warm embrace.
Jian Han looked at Tang Fan and had a smile on her face. “Tang Fan, you are here.”
“If I had been any later, you would’ve already fallen.” Tang Fan had a pampering smile on his face and supported her waist as he helped her to stand.
Jian Han cast her gaze downwards to look at Little Qinwen, afraid that he would really hurt himself. She looked at him looking at her with his eyes full of energy. Her heart softened completely as she said, “Come, Aunt will hug you.”
She picked Little Qinwen up.
Little Qinwen hooked his soft, white elbows around Jian Han’s neck. He planted a kiss on Jian Han’s face. “Aunty… Muah muah….”
Jian Han broke out into a bright smile, looking like a flower in full bloom.
At this moment, her small shoulders were cupped by Tang Fan. The man gently said, “Hug him for a while and he’ll be fine, I will carry him instead. Don’t you know what state your body is in right now? Let’s go. I just asked someone to heat a cup of warm milk. Go and drink it.”
Tang Fan watched Jian Han and Little Qinwen leave.
Lu Shaoming looked at the trio, and he said with a laugh, “My son is picking favorites. Other than me and Ning Qing, he likes Jian Han best. Looking at it now, those three people look really compatible with one another…”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the man beside him. “I heard that you broke up with Jian Han. This is actually a good thing. Both of you were tangled with one another without any result, and both of you were hurt deeply in the process. Tang Fan is not bad. Look at him accommodate Jian Han totally. Maybe we will see Jian Han carry Tang Fan’s big chubby baby in her arms next year.”
Zhou Dayuan had one of his hands in his pockets. With his right hand, he took a glass of red wine from the attendant. He glared at the backs of the three people. He lifted his head to down the mouthful of red wine, then he looked at Lu Shaoming before smiling at him. “Are you laughing at me now?”
