Chapter 250 - Start Again Anew, Creating Memories Together
After the air went silent for a few seconds, Ning Qing had a gentle smile and asked, “Shaoming, are you done showering?”
She withdrew her gaze and placed the photo back in his pants pocket. She lifted her heels to walk towards the bamboo basket and placed his clothes inside.
At this moment, a handsome figure came from behind, and Lu Shaoming hugged her from the back. One huge palm protected the bump on her small stomach while he kissed her small face and said, “Are you hungry? There is no aunty in the house. You are not allowed to touch oil or smoke in the future; should we go out to eat?”
Ning Qing shook her head and said, “I don’t want to, restaurant food cannot be eaten often by pregnant ladies. Shaoming, should we go back home to eat? My mum has definitely made a lot of dishes; she has recently made me grow fat.”
“Okay.” Lu Shaoming nodded his head and said, “Sure, let’s go home to eat.”
After hearing him agree, Ning Qing wanted to leave his embrace, but the man held onto her and did not let go. The man had a light fragrance after he left the shower. When he touched her skin, his hair still had moisture, and his entire body was still not dry.
“Are you hungry?” he asked again.
“What?” She did not understand.
Ning Qing, “….” If in the future, when he recovers his memories, she did not know what he would think of these hurried words: I can’t wait any further.
…
The entertainment headlines the next day were obviously hogged by Ning Qing. The entire entertainment section wsd full of praises for that proposal, and after enduring those 3 months, the entire city knew that Ning Qing was now Madam Lu.
From now on, every time they mentioned the name “Ning Qing”, it was followed by envy and jealousy of all the women in the city.
Her ring that signified adding a crown onto love was already confirmed by professionals in the industry to be worth over 100 million dollars.
And it was indeed the only one of its kind in this world.
The filming of City of Love quickly ended in a month’s time. Ning Qing held a celebration party and personally participated in a few press conferences.
She handled the press conferences skilfully and easily, and she provided the media with headlines and scoops. For the questions that were directed at her, she was elegant and gracious with her answers, smooth and nimble in her ways.
Of course, after these few press conferences, there were people who were lucky to see a man dressed in a suit. He left behind a cold and mysterious shadow to the crowd. He personally drove his pregnant wife, and he brought her home after.
This couple went into the lovey dovey stage of the relationship.
Ning Qing struck when the iron was hot. It was a hot and sweltering day when City of Love officially debuted on the sixth of June. On the day of its release, it broke the box-office with 30 million dollars in sales, and within a week of release, it broke the 400 milion mark. It broke a new record in the history of movie ticket sales.
Ning Qing’s career rose to a new height within a week. The stock price of Island Wide Media and Entertainment continuously rise 6 fold. Her assets successfully rose to make it into the Forbes list of media celebrities, and she topped the list.
Not only that, she was selected by a panel of judges to become the most influential female celebrity in China, and she represented China as the first celebrity to feature on the cover of the Milan Fashion Week magazine. Fame and honour came rolling in together.
The Ning Qing now and the Ning Qing from the past could not be said to be the same person.
On this day, Xiao Zhou, who was in an excited state, was interrupted by someone. “How are you, I want to ask if this is Ning Qing Work Studio? I am looking for Ning Qing.”
Xiao Zhou lifted her gaze to look. It was a middle aged man who was dressed impeccably, and he had the poise of an extraordinary man. She asked politely, “May I ask, who are you?
Lu Dinghua laughed and said, “I am Lu Shaoming’s father.”
Xiao Zhou was in shock and immediately came forward to welcome him. “It turns out that it’s our Ning Qing’s father. How are you, how are you? Ning Qing is in the office, I will bring you to her now.”
Xiao Zhou brought Lu Dinghua to the door of the office, Ning Qing was talking to Yin Moer, an artist under her management.
“Ning…” Xiao Zhou wanted to call out to her.
But Lu Dinghua waved his hands. His gesture meant that since he was already there, he was content to wait and listen.
Ning Qing sat on the office chair, and Yin Moer started to talk. “Director Ning, I received an invitation to go to a meal from a big boss in the entertainment industry yesterday. I don’t know whether I should go.”
Ning Qing lifted her gaze to look at her and she curled up her lips into a smile and said, “City of Love successfully turned you into an A-lister among female celebrities. You will get more and more invitations in the future. I am unable to intervene in your personal life. If you go out to have a business meal, you have to think of your bottom line first. You might be able to drink, but can you be able to stand and accept being touched and slept with?”
Yin Moer was only at the start of her twenties this year, and she was obviously unable to accept Ning Qing’s sharp words. She blushed as she waved. “Director Ning, I do not mean it that way….”
