Chapter 246: Warmth
With her saying “Mum”, everyone present on scene changed their expressions. The crowd all stopped in their tracks and turned to look at the girl who had said it, Ning Qing.
They only saw her small hand placed on her abdomen for some reason. Another hand was by her side, and her delicate brows were just like a painting — calm and collected. Her eyes were bright and mesmerizing.
She was not flustered or embarrassed. She had a gentle expression as she looked towards Song Yajing.
Song Yajing and Kong Lan both stopped in their tracks. Song Yajing snorted lightly and said, “Miss Ning, who are you addressing as Mum?”
She did not acknowledge her status.
Ning Qing lifted her eyebrows and reassured herself that it was ok. She slowly curled up her lips into a smile and said, “Mum, there are 200 people there and 180 here. If you acknowledge me, the moment you say it, you would be telling everyone here that I am Lu Shaoming’s wife.”
Everyone took a deep breath. The marriage had been hidden for 3 months. It was the hidden secret of T City, and now Ning Qing was provoking Madam Lu out in the open, and announced the marriage out loud. Umm, she was so brave!
Song Yajing did not have a pleasant expression on her face. It was not the first time she has encountered Ning Qing’s glib tongue. Atrocious, she was at a disadvantage again!
“Xiaofu…” Xia Xiaofu’s parents were standing among the crowd, and they slightly shook their heads at Xiao Xiaofu.
Ning Qing knew that Song Yajing had given a warning sign. The warning had reached Xiaofu’s parents. She tugged on Xiaofu’s sleeve and said, “Xiaofu, don’t say anything else. Keep in mind that a disaster could happen because of your words…”
Xia Xiaofu’s almond shaped eyes were moist as she laughed and said, “Ning Qing, I know. You still do not want to ruin your relationship with your mother in law. If not for this, you would be exerting your usual dominance. The things that are not convenient for you to say, I will say them on your behalf. Don’t worry about my parents. If worse comes to worst, after Young Master Lu comes, you help me to ask him for a favour.” Xia Xiaofu cheekily winked.
Ning Qing knew that Xiaofu did not want her to feel pressured. That is why she said that. Her mind twisted. She quickly pressed against her chest and bent down to vomit.
“Ning Qing…”
Yin Shuiling and Xia Xiaofu came to pat her on the back. Xiao Xiaofu did not know she was pregnant. Yin Shuiling sighed and said loudly, “Ning Qing don’t be angry, if you hurt your body now what are you going to do? You are already 3 months pregnant. Don’t worry, the public knows justice. Someone wants to steal your husband, the father of your child. Young Master Lu would not let them succeed.”
“What? Pregnant?” The crowd burst out into chattering. The journalists did not bumble about anymore, and they rushed to Ning Qing’s side.
“Director Ning, are you ok? You need to take care of your body. You need to know that your film City of Love is highly anticipated by all. Your 70 million fans are all worried about your health with every passing minute.”
“Yes, Director Ning, we all know your personality and difficulties. Doesn’t Director Ning have a famous saying? ‘Those who understand me know, those who don’t understand me, there is no need for them to understand.’”
Ning Qing was touched. When she was being harshly criticized, her two best friends were by her side, as well as those journalists who no longer feared those in power, and the fans who had always supported her. She was very satisfied.
But she did feel uncomfortable in her gut, as she vomited, she felt tears fall out of her eyes. Where was the man whom she needed most?
Once again, he was not by her side.
Song Yajing and Kong Lan were looking ultimately upset. On one side, there was warmth and care, and on this side, everyone had solemn expressions as they faced one another. It was cold and awkward. The people of upper class society turned the gazes downwards, either due to fear or embarrassment.
At this moment, Kong Lan unintentionally looked outside the door. Two people came in one after another. She was instantly jubilant instantly as she said, “Shaoming, Zhilei, you two are here!”
At this moment, everyone present turned the gazes over and looked towards the door.
Ning Qing was held up by her two best friends. She straightened her waist and turned her gaze to look at the door. A coy voice could be heard saying, “Brother Ming, wait for me.”
The handsome man briskly walked through the door, and Zhou Zhilei, who was behind him, had no time to brake. She crashed directly into the man. She immediately held onto the man’s left elbow and smiled blissfully, “Brother Shaoming, didn’t we promise to come together? How come you left me behind?”
Lu Shaoming did not have any expression. The moment he stepped through the doors, he started to comb through the 4 corners. He found the girl who was being held up a few metres away.
Ning Qing’s gaze collided with his.
“Shaoming, you are here!” Song Yajing and Kong Lan all went to their respective son and daughter’s side. Looking at it like this, they really seemed like a loving family.
“This…” The journalists on this side did not know what to say, and everyone carefully looked towards Ning Qing.
