Chapter 187 - Try Dating And See Where It Goes
Ning Qing was bound not to answer Lu Shaoming. Although she held warmth in her arms, her body was still a little cold.
It couldn’t be warmed up in an instant after freezing for so long in an ice chamber.
Her long eyelashes that were like butterflies’ wings trembled discontentedly a couple of times. He was treating her like he cherished her. It was like the time before he lost his memory.
She pouted her pink lips and swayed her body it in a coquettish way. “Cold! I’m still cold.”
Lu Shaoming touched her face; it was still cold.
She was still cold.
…
After an hour’s sleep, Ning Qing’s whole body had warmed up. She moved her body comfortably and opened her sleepy eyes.
“I’ll run you a bath; take a bath.” There was a hoarseness in his voice.
Take a bath?
Ning Qing turned sideways and looked at his back. After she had confessed to him, and he asked her to take a bath.
What exactly does he mean?
…
Even though she was angry, she wasn’t defeated. It doesn’t matter if he didn’t reciprocate now. She would redouble her efforts.
Ning Qing sat up, wrapped herself in the blanket, and got out of bed. There was a delicate sandalwood wardrobe in the room. She opened it, and it contained his uniform shirt and suit.
The shirts and suits were ironed without any wrinkles, and the cool-colored clothing hung in the wardrobe with an elite frigidness.
Her small hands touched a white shirt. Her head was full of the image of his wheat-colored muscular body. Before, at night, they would often exercise as husband and wife, and he would often be soaked in sweat. The man maintained a good figure. But now that he did not have this exercise anymore, she sneaked a few glances at him, and his figure was still good.
Ning Qing’s lips curved with a smile, and her heart was covered with honey.
When Lu Shaoming came out, he saw the girl foolishly pulling his shirt sleeve and giggling. He twisted his head and said, “Go take a bath.”
“Ok,” Ning Qing said as she looked back at him. She was like a little wife. “Umm, I don’t have a change of clothes. Can I borrow your white shirt?”
Lu Shaoming nodded.
The man standing at the glass door of the bathroom looked tall and had long legs, and the bright white lamps beside the bathroom sink shone on him and made him look especially handsome and charming. He put both hands in his trousers pocket, and the shirt she had tugged off had only a couple of random middle buttons fastened, which revealed his charming male collarbone and abdominal muscles.
Ning Qing took the white shirt in her small hand. She stood up and smiled at the man charmingly. “Young Master Lu, I have nothing under these blankets. Do you want to see?”
There was quite a distance from where she was to the bathroom if he wanted to see…
Lu Shaoming’s expression was somewhat unnatural. A man who was usually mature and steady coughed, turned around, and did not look at her.
Ning Qing placed the blanket on the bed. She was shy, but his character was there. He would never peek at her.
When she walked over to the man, Ning Qing had thoughts of teasing him and sighed wickedly. “Hmm, some people just like to pretend, saying that they don’t want it on the surface, but did you actually need to take my underwear off when holding me to warm me up? Wasn’t it because you wanted to see me!”
After that, Ning Qing went into the bathroom and closed the glass door.
Lu Shaoming: “…” His face turned red.
The girl was too bold and dared to say anything. She had caused him to blush.
It was probably his first time blushing in his entire life.
…
Lu Shaoming buttoned his shirt and tucked it into the black metal belt. He could not help looking sideways. The heavy frosted glass faintly showed a fascinating figure with exquisite curves.
Lu Shaoming’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and he turned his head.
Actually, about that…underwear problem: He wasn’t the one who wanted to take them off; it was her.
She was probably not used to wearing underwear to bed. After he took off her sweater, she went to pull at her underwear herself. She couldn’t pull it off and pouted her lips in his arms, and her pink lips muttered her displeasure in a soft voice.
She was so girlish.
She seemed to blame him for not helping.
So he took it off for her.
The tedious buttons on the back of the woman’s underwear took him a long time to unbutton. He hadn’t ever come into contact with it before.
Lifting his hand and looking at his watch, he saw that it was 7:30 now. He turned and opened the door of the lounge.
It happened that the door of the office was open and Zhou Zhilei came in.
Zhou Zhilei saw Lu Shaoming, and she laughed and said, “Brother Ming, have you forgotten our date? You asked me to have dinner tonight. I’ve been waiting for you for more than an hour. You haven’t arrived yet, and your cell phone is unreachable again, so I came to the office to find you. You were indeed in the office.”
Lu Shaoming lifted a sharp brow; he had indeed forgotten their date.
He was driving to the date more than an hour ago, but something had happened to Ning Qing so he rushed here. He held Ning Qing to sleep and switched his mobile phone into silent mode. He hadn’t wanted to sleep, but the girl was so fragrant and warm that he fell asleep like that.
“Zhilei, let’s go.” Lu Shaoming glanced at the door and went to Zhou Zhilei.
“Alright, Brother Ming. What would you like to eat tonight? Chinese food or Western food? My auntie and I went shopping yesterday and found a good western food restaurant…”
Ning Qing, who was in the room, stood by the door and heard Zhou Zhilei’s happy laughter as she left the office with Lu Shaoming.
Ning Qing’s small hands that were on the doorknob drooped weakly. His shirt was very long and covered her little butt. She had stood at the washstand and wanted to pull the shirt back shamelessly to show him more skin.
But it seems that he does not want to see it.
After sleeping with her, he had left with another woman.
She thought that he still had feelings for her. Although he did not say it, a woman’s sixth sense was particularly acute.
It seemed that she had flattered herself.
Ning Qing looked up and kept the tears of grievance in her eyes. She was not sad because she had met with an obstacle, but because he had left with another woman.
She did not like him to be with other women.
Zhou Zhilei had a good relationship with his mother. Her mother-in-law didn’t like her and looked down upon her. It was somewhat embarrassing and sad in the eyes of a daughter-in-law, but she had no time to buffer. She watched her mother-in-law introduce other women to her husband, but she could do nothing.
Everyone was bullying her.
Now, even he bullied her.
Ning Qing sat on the bed and took off the white shirt. She put on her clothes one article at a time and went out of the room.
When she walked past the table, she accidentally bumped into a document on the desk. The document fell on the ground, and she squatted down to pick it up.
She looked at the title of the document; it seemed to be Cabbage Plume’s recipe.
She put the papers back and walked out the office door.
After two steps, her cell phone rang and she looked at it. It was Lin Xuemei who had not contacted her for a long time.
She answered. “Hello, Xuemei… What, you’re at the lobby of my company? Okay, I’ll go down now. Wait for me.”
…
Ning Qing went out of Guang Qing’s gate and there was a red car parked in the street. Lin Xuemei was sitting in the driver’s seat. This was her car.
Ning Qing ran forward, opened the door, and sat down in the passenger’s seat. “Xuemei, we haven’t been in touch for a long time. Did you buy a car?”
Lin Xuemei was wearing a professional suit. She laughed and said, “No, this car was given to me by the company.”
“Really? Xuemei, are you working now? It seems that your position is quite high, seeing as the company has even given you a car.”
“Haha, it’s not a big company, just a cosmetics company. Let’s go, Ning Qing. Let’s go for a drink. I’ll take you home later.”
“Alright.”
…
Lu Shaoming and Zhou Zhilei took the elevator and passed through the company gate. Zhou Zhilei saw Lu Shaoming’s Bentley and thought he would take her to the car. But Lu Shaoming said, “Zhilei. Let’s not have dinner tonight. Let’s just walk around.”
“Alright, whatever Brother Ming says.” Zhou Zhilei laughed.
The two of them walked along the street. Lu Shaoming’s voice calmly and gently said, “Zhilei, I know you like me. My mother likes you, and our two families have the intention of uniting by marriage, but that’s not my intention. I have no love for you. You can only be a sister in my heart, so don’t delay yourself, find love and marry soon.”
Zhou Zhilei’s smile froze. She forced a smile as she said, “Brother Ming, you are already 31 this year! Auntie has been urging you to marry, and since Brother Ming does not have anyone you like, then I am your best candidate. In this world, not every marriage will have love. Most of the marriages between rich families can also work out. Brother Ming has the responsibility of taking care of the Lu family; I would be your best choice.”
“Mmm.” Lu Shaoming nodded. “I had thought about marrying you half a month ago in the United States, but I went back to T City…”
“What happened after you went back to T city?”
“Back at T City, I suddenly met a girl who I wanted to try dating and see where it goes.”
Yes. Try dating and see where it goes.
Just a bit ago in the lounge, when she was whispering softly in his arms and left a small pink bubble on his shirt, he wanted to try dating her.
Since she was serious towards him, he also wanted to try.
Zhou Zhilei stopped and shook her head. “Brother Ming, no matter who you like, Auntie won’t agree with you.”
