Chapter 314 - Ning Qing, What Is Wrong?
Lu Shaoming ended the phone call, and at this moment, there was a bang! Someone was banging on the door.
“Young Master Lu, you better come out, I think we need to have a conversation between us. What are you plotting exactly? You are willing to die for a woman. It is okay if you die, but you hand over the documents that you have in your hands. I will go and investigate those villagers…”
A bodyguard came forward to stop her, “Miss Leng, our President is resting in his room. Please do not disturb him…”
He had not finished his words, and there was a shriek. “Ah!” There was the sound of a scuffle outside the door.
A messy fight was going on outside the door, and one bodyguard rolled down the staircase. He could hear the sound of porcelain falling onto the ground…
Zhou Dayuan lifted his eyebrows while being a delighted mood. he said, “Shaoming, if this Miss Leng continues to be like this, she will probably destroy your entire villa. Towards a woman who is a secret service agent, there is no use using words. You have to show her what you can do and go tackle her in a fight. If you manage to win, then she would finally be willing to listen to you.”
Lu Shaoming glanced at him sideways and said, “Then why are you not going?”
Ning Qing stood at the door of the hospital ward. Yue Wanqing was lying on the bed in the ward, and Jian Han sat on the chair to chat with her. “Aunt, your complexion has been getting better recently.”
“Doctor Jian, I really have to thank you. If not for you finding a good doctor for me and coming to accompany and chat with me every day to reduce my boredom, I would not have recovered so quickly.”
“What are you saying, Aunt? You are too polite. Ning Qing and I are good friends. This is simply what I can do with my abilities, and furthermore, aunt is only 45 this year. With a single look at you, I can tell you will live until 100.”
Yue Wanqing smiled and said, “Okay, I will accept Doctor Jian’s good words.” At this moment, she saw Ning Qing standing by the door, and she happily said, “Qingqing, you are here!”
“Mum, Older Sister Jian.” Ning Qing walked into the hospital ward and had a sweet smile on her face. “I saw you two chatting so happily, and I didn’t bear to interrupt you two.”
Jian Han curled up the corners of her lips, and said, “Ning Qing, I will let you in on the good news. Aunt can be discharged tonight!”
“Really?” Ning Qing’s eyes were shining bright.
“Yes, Aunt’s illness has stabilized. The professor said that Aunt’s illness is not serious. She only needs to cooperate with his medication and therapy, and she will at least live to 80 years of age.”
Ning Qing stretched both her hands out to embrace Jian Han, then coyly said, “Older Sister Jian, this is great news. If I didn’t have you, I don’t know what I would have done!.”
Jian Han stretched out her hand to caress Ning Qing’s locks, and she pretended to be angry as she said, “Ning Qing, if you are so polite with me, then it would not be right!”
Ning Qing let go of her and winked her eyes cheekily. “Sure, Older Sister Jian, then I will not be polite with you.”
The two broke out into laughter.
At this moment, Yue Wanqing said, “Qingqing, didn’t you say that Shaoming came back a few days ago when you called? Although you said that he was not injured, I am still worried. I will be discharged tonight. Give him a call and ask him over. Mum will prepare a table of dishes, and we will reunite properly. Also, Little Young Master Lu… I have not seen my grandson for so long.”
After she mentioned Lu Shaoming, there was a deep loneliness in the bottom of Ning Qing’s eyes, but she quickly put on a smile. “Mum, Shaoming has been very busy recently. You understand. He has been away for such a long period of time. He has a load of matters to attend to. What about this: He will come over when he is free.”
“Sure, a man’s work is more important.” Yue Wanqing nodded her head in agreement.
…
Jian Han went back to work, and Ning Qing walked to the foot of the stairwell, then took out her phone to make a call.
The ringtone on the other end rang once and someone picked up. “Hello…” The low and charming voice made her ears numb.
Ning Qing held the phone in one hand and lowered her gaze to look at her foot. She pursed her red lips and was not willing to speak.
The other end went silent for 10 seconds, and he then said, “Ning Qing, what is wrong?”
His voice was very gentle, and it was gentle enough that it made her remember all her grievances.
“My mother asked you come home for dinner tonight. Are you coming?” She bit down on her pink lip and her voice was hard but gentle.
It was silence again on the other end, and the time that elapsed felt like half a century. He graciously replied, “I have to work tonight; I don’t have time.”
Ning Qing laughed. As she laughed she could not control the tears streaming down her face. She held her small hand tightly into a fist and brought it to her lips and bit on it lightly. “Okay.” She tried not to let him hear her crying voice, and continued, “My Mum is hospitalized. She has been in the hospital for two weeks, and she is very worried about you. Couldn’t you just come over to visit her?”
He did not respond, and it was so quiet that she suspected that he was not listening to the phone.
“Just visit her for a while. Don’t worry, I will not pester you. Lu Shaoming, I will wait for you in the hospital.” She ended the call.
…
Ning Qing waited for a long time, and it was already noon.
She did not believe that he would not come.
Yue Wanqing fell asleep, and she sat on the chair to flip through magazines. She did not actually read them. Suddenly, she heard the sound of footsteps ring in her ears; someone was coming towards the hospital ward.
Her heartbeat sped up immediately, and she lifted her gaze. It was hard for her to contain her surprise and joy. “Shao Ming, you are here?”
