Chapter 277 - Ning Qing, Thank You
“So you married me?” Lu Dinghua asked softly.
“Yes,” Song Yajing nodded, “I married you.”
They danced quietly for a while. Lu Dinghua reached out and touched Song Yajing’s hair. “Yajing, this is the second time I’ve seen the four little steps you took just now.”
Song Yajing was immersed in Stven’s music, but she suddenly stiffened when she heard him.
“The first time, I watched you dance outside the dance studio. After that, I ran home and said to my mother, “Mom, that girl named Song Yajing, she is my Mrs. Lu.”
Song Yajing looked up incredulously. “You…”
Lu Dinghua smiled. “At that time, I only wanted to marry you, so I pushed away all those noble ladies and chose the Song family. Unfortunately, after I married you, you stopped dancing.”
Ning Qing wanted to drill a hole in the ground and vanish. The man’s clean and oppressive scent was approaching. Her two small hands firmly gripped the corners of her gown. She was extremely nervous.
She was afraid that he would bully her without caring about the occasion.
At this time, she heard, “Young Madam.” The servant had come over. She did not barge into the kitchen unwelcomed but stood by the door. “Young Madam, the housekeeper asked you to come over and discuss something about the banquet.”
It was as if Ning Qing had been granted amnesty. She pushed the man’s chest with her fair little hand and jogged out immediately.
Lu Shaoming was really worried about the way she jogged so casually. She was already five months pregnant, but her body was still so agile. She liked jogging frequently, and he was afraid that she would eventually fall and injure herself.
Lu Shaoming stood by the kitchen door, looked at the servant, and in a low voice, asked, “Are you sure the sugar wasn’t mixed up in the kitchen today?”
The little servant glanced at his young master secretly. The man was wearing a black shirt and trousers, and he had a low-key luxury watch on his wrist. His sculpted, handsome face was hidden in the darkness, and he appeared more noble and calm. The charm of a mature man was extraordinary on him.
The servant’s face turned red. She walked into the kitchen quickly and took out the sugar box. After tasting it, her expression changed. “Young Master, somebody had probably made a mistake. The sugar was mixed up with salt.”
“Makes sense.” Lu Shaoming hummed and went out.
The little servant suddenly thought, “Oh, no, Young Madam’s cake is made with this sugar. Are the cakes all salty?”
…
The birthday banquet came to a successful conclusion, and the VIPs gradually dispersed. The family of four stood by the door as they sent the band Stven off.
Ning Qing stood beside Lu Shaoming. At this time, she still felt pretty inferior. Her husband and even her parents-in-law could speak French fluently, but she could not understand it.
She felt awkward.
Song Yajing was talking to the lead singer of the band Stven. “You guys quit the music industry about 20 years ago. I didn’t expect you guys to be reunited at my birthday banquet today. Thank you for the wonderful memories you have brought me. I had a great time tonight!”
The lead singer looked at Ning Qing and had a smile as he said, “You should thank this beautiful girl. We hadn’t intended to come, but the girl went to our doorsteps several times and said she wanted to give her mother the best birthday present. She prepared a special plane for us and even threatened to bring us here even if she had to tie us up and kidnap us. With the right amount of willpower, you can achieve anything. We were touched by her sincerity. We couldn’t help it. We’re here.”
Ning Qing roughly knew that they were discussing her. She put her hands together and bowed. She winked and said embarrassingly in English. “I’m very sorry for this bold interruption. Thank you for your wonderful singing. Thank you.”
Lu Dinghua and Lu Shaoming exchanged a few more words with them, then the band Stven left in their personal car.
In the villa, servants were cleaning and tidying up. The four people stood by the door and talked. Song Yajing’s eyes lacked her usual sternnes, and she became extremely gentle. She looked at Ning Qing and said, “Ning Qing, thank you.”
She asked her to unload her burden, be a beautiful woman, and enjoy the time that belonged to her. She was really happy tonight.
It was like going back many years ago. She had the chance to throw off her armor and relax.
Ning Qing flashed a sweet smile. “Mom, you’re welcome. Today is your birthday. As long as Mom is happy, everything’s good.”
Song Yajing was moved in her heart, but she was not a person who could be sentimental, so she asked about serious matters. “Shaoming, Ning Qing, where are you sleeping tonight? Do you want to…sleep at home?”
Speaking of where to sleep, Ning Qing was a bit guilty.
She didn’t know if Lu Dinghua had done it unconsciously or intentionally, but she saw Lu Dinghua’s hand on Song Yajing’s shoulder slide down to her waist.
Ning Qing immediately felt uneasy. Did she accidentally see a hint from her father-in-law to her mother-in-law?
Raising her sparkling gaze to look at the man beside her, she waited for him to open his mouth.
This was when he should speak.
“Dad, Mom, it’s already too late today. Everyone is tired. We’ll go back to the Tea Pavillion Villa. You should go to bed early too.”
Lu Dinghua immediately opened his mouth and said, “Okay, drive carefully then.”
Lu Shaoming took Ning Qing’s little hand and led her to the Bentley. The car started. Ning Qing looked through the rearview mirror. Song Yajing was standing by the door and watching them leave. Lu Dinghua directly grabbed her waist and belt and went upstairs.
Song Yajing was a little awkward and pushed Lu Dinghua a little before going up the stairs. Lu Dinghua’s lips fell on her face once they were upstairs.
Ning Qing quickly withdrew her gaze. Her breathing quickened and her mind was thinking — No, she should not see it. Should not see it… She would have a sty in her eye.
Accidentally, her autumn eyes collided with the bright, black eyes of the man.
