Chapter 174 - New Year
Zhu Rui listened, and his facial expression changed drastically. “Doctor, is this operation dangerous?” The doctor nodded his head and said, “Young Master Lu, I will be honest with you, based on the standards of medical care in the country now, if we were to do this operation, there would be a 70% risk factor compared to overseas medical technologies where they are more advanced. I suggest that you try exploring overseas medical treatment.” Lu Shaoming listened and did not speak. He walked out of the ward. Zhu Rui followed him and said, “President, let’s go overseas to do the operation as quickly as possible. This cannot drag on any longer…” Zhu Rui still wanted to speak, but at this moment: “Shaoming!” Ning Qing had arrived.
She went home to change into a new outfit. It was a light blue short winter jacket paired together with a white scarf. She put on white earmuffs that had come together with the scarf. The earmuffs were furry. It was what small girls wore. It made her small face look extra young and beautiful. She used one hand to hold onto a thermos cup, and another was hidden secretly behind her back. Lu Shaoming looked at Zhu Rui meaning – Don’t let Madam know. Zhu Rui hesitantly nodded his head.
Lu Shaoming walked forward, standing beside the girl. He stretched out his hand to touch the girl’s pale and clean face. Smiling, he said, “What are you hiding in your hands? Let me see.” Ning Qing shyly behaved coy and took her little hand out. “Shaoming, look! I made this for you myself!” Ning Qing’s small hand had a peanut made out of white snow. The peanut looked lifelike. It was made very accurate. Lu Shaoming’s eyes were full of gentleness. He looked at her frozen red hands and felt sorry for her. “This is for me?” He asked. “Yeah, that’s right. I hope the peanut can protect you and ensure that live a long and healthy life, without sickness or incident,” she said while blinking her eyes, smiling innocently. Zhu Rui, who was standing behind them, saw the scene play out in front of him. He lifted his gaze and controlled the tears welling in his eyes. He turned his body to leave.
Lu Shaoming did not show any expression on his face. He was a man who did not easily show his emotions. He placed the peanut onto his palm. He cupped her shoulders and brought into the ward. “Thank you, Wifey.”
“No need to thank me, haha.” Lu Shaoming placed the peanut on the bed stand. He went on the bed and used his hands to hold onto the cold and wet hands of the girl and rubbed them to give her warmth. He then brought them to his cheeks.
Feeling the warmth of his face, Ning Qing immediately smiled brightly like a flower. She withdrew her small hand. She got close to his handsome face and gave him a loud kiss on his cheek. “Hubby, you are a patient now. I should be the one taking care of you. I am not cold. You must be hungry, I will feed you some porridge.”
“Okay.” Lu Shaoming kissed her mesmerizing red lips.
Ning Qing opened the thermos. It was full of thickened millet porridge, and there was also a plate of a refreshing side dish. Lu Shaoming saw this and frowned. “This was what you personally cooked for me?” Was he complaining that porridge was unsavoury? Ning Qing used a small spoon to bring it to his lips and with a gentle tone, she comforted him. “Hubby, Mum said that you are sick and only can have some plain porridge. Be good. After you are well and out of the hospital, I will prepare a table full of dishes to help you regain your strength. For now, be good and eat your porridge.” Lu Shaoming opened his mouth to have a bite of the porridge. He leaned toward her white tiny earlobes and said in a low voice, “Will you prepare bullwhip soup?”
