Chapter 238 - Madam, Miss Ning Seems To Be Pregnant.
The achievements that he have today were all based on his own wise and farsighted strategy. He was able to achieve this level of greatness step-by-step; it had nothing to do with the Lu family.
Lu Shaoming lazily leaned his handsome back against the chair. He did not frown. His dark eyes were deep and threatening as he said, “Mum, there are many brothers supporting the Lu family actually. The success of both the Empire Corporation and Lu’s territories has been wrongly attributed. This success has always been in the spotlight for others to vie for on the surface. At the time you married dad, were you already the matriarch of the entire Lu family? No. Could Dad always could choose to travel the world with Old Man Zhou so casually? Could he so casually appreciate paintings and enjoy music? Also no.
“You are insistent that you and Dad can stand on the peak of Lu’s assets and received both admiration and respect and thus act so recklessly. That is all because you have a son, and he is called Lu Shaoming! Who taught you to act so arrogantly towards the person you are reliant on?”
Song Yajing’s entire body was shaking. “You….”
Lu Shaoming continued with a smile and said, “Mum, to be honest, you are a successful mother. You had many expectations towards me from a young age. I have fulfilled them all. I am direct and confrontational in the corporate sector, and I am able to produce clouds with one turn of the hand and rain with another. Wasn’t this all you wanted? Mum has always been an intelligent person. Why do you not understand that a person like me, a successful man at the age of 31, still needs anyone to involve themselves with my marriage or my life?
As he spoke, Lu Shaoming slowly rose up. “Mum, you contemplate it thoroughly. The status of the son of the Lu family — if you wish for me to take it on, I will. If you don’t wish for me to do so, I am also not too interested in it. The relationship between us as mother and son has always been shallow. If you are insistent on pushing me away, then I will wait for you until the day you need me to provide for your retirement. I will only return then.
Lu Shaoming walked towards the main doors, and he did not turn to look back. “The entire life that Mother has led so far has been based on what you can stand to gain. I hope that you can weigh your powers properly. My last sentence would be, Ning Qing is my bottom line, I hope you would not touch her again!”
“Bang!” The main doors of the villa were shut.
Watching a Korean drama? It was amazing that he could even consider that!
He wanted to touch her?
Zhou Zhilei’s heartbeat raced quickly.
If he could treat her like this, she would be willing to die for him.
“Madam, there is still something that I feel is amiss, so I am reporting it to you,” the butler said cautiously.
“What is it?”
“Madam, Ning Qing has had signs of nausea recently. And she especially likes to eat sour things. I don’t know if she is…pregnant?”
“What did you say?” Song Yajing’s facial expressions changed quickly, and she stood up in a flash.
Pa! The cup of water in Zhou Zhilei’s hand fell onto the ground.
…
In the Ning Villa
Lu Shaoming pressed the doorbell, and Ning Zhenguo came to open the door.
“Young Master Lu, you are here.”
“Uncle, how are you? Is Ning Qing home?”
“She is.” Ning Zhenguo welcomed him in passionately and said, “Ning Qing did not feel too comfortable after she returned. She has been inside her room sleeping. Will Young Master Lu go check on her?”
“Sure.” Lu Shaoming lifted his feet and went upstairs.
At this moment, he saw Yue Wanqing walking through the door. Yue Wanqing saw him and was jubilant. She said, “Young Master Lu, are you here to look for Qingqing? Stay for dinner in my house tonight. I will go to prepare the dishes!”
“There is no need for that, Aunt. I will leave after I take a look at Ning Qing. There are still things to do in the office today. Aunt, are your legs feeling better now?” Lu Shaoming asked politely.
“They are much better. It is only skin deep. See, I am even able to walk now…” As she spoke, Yue Wanqing took two steps forward and gave a benevolent smile. “Young Master Lu, even if there are things to do at the office, you still have to eat dinner. Young people must love and cherish their own bodies, don’t be shy, there are dishes at home.”
Lu Shaoming looked at Yue Wanqing and felt warmth in his heart. He did not enjoy his mother’s love as a child. He thought that he did not need it, but on Yue Wanqing, he could see the shadows of how a mother should be, and he felt touched.
“Thank you, Aunty.”
“What are you thanking me for? We will be family in the future. Young Master Lu, go take a look at Qingqing.” Yue Wanqing went downstairs.
Family…
Lu Shaoming heard these words and felt his emotions lighten up. Before he met Ning Qing, he did not ever wish for a warm home.
Now, what he wanted was right in front of his eyes.
He sent Yue Wanqing off to the kitchen with his gaze, and he opened the door to Ning Qing’s room.
…
He walked into the room and the girl was sleeping in bed.
A cute small ball was curled inside a soft pink blanket. Her hair was on the pillow and it brought out a lazy kind of beauty.
Lu Shaoming felt his heart soften. He lifted his feet to walk to the side of the bed. She slept facing away from him. Her face that was in deep sleep was only palm sized, and she looked like a pure, innocent angel.
“Ning Qing,” he called out softly as he bent down.
The girl pouted her pink lips and did not bother with him. She turned over to sleep.
Was she not asleep?
Lu Shaoming smiled and had a pampering gaze. She could actually pretend to sleep, but now she made an “I am very angry” pose, and what she meant behind it was — come and comfort me quick.
He knelt on the bed. He put his right hand on her side and took her into his embrace. “Baby, I am sorry. I did not protect you well, I have settled it all. No one who would harm you again, I promise.”
“Hmph.” The girl pouted her cherry lips, fluttered her butterfly-wing lashes, and did not acknowledge him.
“I know, as for what happened in the afternoon, I didn’t do that on purpose. You were behaving like that. In that position, no man would be able to control himself. Didn’t you also give me a kick? I’m the one who was uncomfortable!”
“You have the guts to say that…” Ning Qing turned over and lay down flat. She poked his chest with her whitish-pink hand and said, “You think that all the men in the world are as perverted as you?”
Lu Shaoming held onto her small hand and lowered his gaze to kiss her.
