Chapter 231 - Uncle Seems To Be Unsatisfied With Me
“Babe, are you hungry?” There were only the two of them in the relaxation room, and she heard his low,hoarse voice; his tone was very gentle.
Ning Qing buried her tiny, burning-hot face under the collar of his shirt. She did not dare look into his eyes. She nodded her head, mewed like a little kitten, and replied, “Yeah.”
“Shall we go to eat dinner then? Where do you want to go for dinner?”
“Anywhere.”
“It is not healthy to keep going out to eat. Shall we…” The expression in the man’s eyes darkened and he continued,”…eat at home?”
“At home?” Ning Qing was puzzled. “Which home?”
The warmth on her body disappeared, and Lu Shaoming stood up. He got off the bed, and he turned his back towards her. His well-defined hand smoothed his shirt. “Then let us just go out to eat.”
There was a couple beside her that were picking out rings, and the man chose a ring and placed it on the woman’s finger. “Wifey, this looks really nice.”
The woman liked the design very much, but she had a smile on her face as she took it off while she said softly in a displeased tone, “This is so expensive. Let’s choose a small one first. After we have money in the future, we will exchange it for a big one.”
Ning Qing looked at them with jealousy in her eyes. The most ordinary form of bliss in this world was to be in love with one someone and accompany one another by each other’s side.
“Ning Qing.” Lu Shaoming came, and called out to her from the back.
Ning Qing turned around and the man used one hand to carry the paper bag while he stood up straight and handsome. His bright, black eyes were gently locked on her as he asked, “What are you looking at?”
Ning Qing’s small face blushed red, and he knew that she was looking at rings. She did not know if she asked him for one now, would he be willing to buy one for her.
Her seashell-white teeth bit down on her pink lips. Her two small white hands were in front of her while they were twisted with one another, “Shaoming, the rings here are so pretty.”
Her insinuation was very obvious.
“Okay.” The man let out a grunt and stretched out his palm to hold onto her small hand. “Let us go quickly; don’t let your parents wait for too long.”
Ning Qing’s expression froze, and the expression in her eyes darkened. He was not willing to buy it for her.
He was not a petty person, it was definitely not because of money that he did not buy it for her. Maybe rings signified marriage, and he still did not have any plans to marry her.
Not wanting to marry her was because he did not love her that deeply yet, and Ning Qing knew it.
…
In the Ning family home
Ning Zhenguo and Yue Wanqing saw Lu Shaoming come and were both happy and comforted. The two seniors happily accepted his gifts, and Yue Wanqing busied herself to make an entire table of dishes. Ning Qing went to the kitchen to help out.
Ning Zhenguo and Lu Shaoming sat on the sofa in the living room to chat with one another.
Actually Ning Zhenguo did not have anything he wanted to say. He was nervous, he had not had much interaction with this important Young Master Lu, and both their statues and positions were far apart from one another. Every time he sneakily peeked at him, the man sat upright. Both his legs were elegantly placed together, and his shiny handmade shoes were in a V shape. Every move of his was elegant and educated — the behaviour of a man who grew up in a wealthy family. Iit made others looking on admire him.
“Young Master Lu, please have some tea.” Ning Zhenguo laughed awkwardly.
“Okay, thank you, Uncle.” Lu Shaoming grabbed the tea cup and took a small sip, he looked at Ning Zhenguo and asked him, ” Uncle, what projects are your company currently busy with?”
The way he addressed him made cold sweat drip from Ning Zhenguo’s forehead. “Haha, Young Master Lu, they are all small dealings in my business. They are all not worth your interest. We have recently participated in the bidding of a Shi Jing building.”
Lu Shaoming’s handsome eyebrows lifted up, and his deep voice was extremely polite as he said, “I have heard about the Shi Jing building project, I will let the secretary know tomorrow to help Uncle secure this business deal.”
“No, there is no need for you to do so. I have to thank Young Master Lu for your kind gesture.” Ning Zhenguo quickly rejected him.
Although his daughter Qingqing did not tell him what happened between her and Lu Shaoming, he knew more than Yue Wanqing did, and both the Lu and Ning families were not matched with one another. Gis daughter Qingqing probably was pressured by her own family background.
He could not help much as a father, and also did not want to go through the back door by using Lu Shaoming and take advantage of him. He could not let others look down on his daughter and gossip.
After experiencing the matters regarding Li Meiling and Ning Yao, it was only then that he realized how messy the first half of his life had been, and now, he only wanted to live a clear, lucid life.
Seeing Lu Shaoming frown upon hearing his rejection, Ning Zhenguo explained quickly. Because he was afraid inside his heart, he said without thinking, “I… haha, Young Master Lu, the Ning family has only one daughter Qinqing. She has a huge burden on her shoulders. This Shi Jing building project is not a must have… Haha, in the future, the properties of the Ning family companies would end up in the hands of my daughter and son in law. Actually at one time, Qingqing did think of looking for a son in law who would marry into the family…”
After Ning Zhenguo finished his words, gosh, Lu Shaoming had a deeper frown on his face.
This man who was in the corporate sector for more than 10 years brought along a strong and sharp aura with him. If he had a frown on his face, it was as if an entire mountain has collapsed on him.
Ning Zhenguo only wanted to start a conversation, and he recklessly said stuff when he did not know what else to say.
He called towards the kitchen, “Wanqing, is dinner ready?” He stood up and continued saying, ” Young Master Lu, you have a seat. I will go to the kitchen to have a look.”
Ning Zhenguo slipped into the kitchen.
…
Ning Zhenguo went into the kitchen, and Ning Qing had a fruit platter in her hands as she walked out. She sat on the sofa, and she saw the man’s face looked a little tense. She could not help but ask, “Shaoming, what is wrong with you?”
Lu Shaoming looked at her with a plain stare, and he pursed his thin lips together lightly and he hesitated before saying, “Uncle seems…like he is not too satisfied with me.”
What?
Ning Qing froze entirely.
Lu Shaoming continued to say, “Uncle did not accept my goodwill. He seems to be drawing the line with me. Uncle even said that he wanted to help you look for a son in law that would marry into the family.”
