My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

Ning Qing’s small face burned. She did not know if it was because she was feeling guilty, but she felt that these words were directed at her, that they were specifically directed towards her.

She was actually very carefree, but now it was all her fault.

Ning Qing, feeling wronged, pouted her pink lips. She turned and left the restroom.

…

After exiting the restroom, Ning Qing saw Lu Shaoming.

He was standing a distance away. There was a tall, beautiful girl beside him. The beautiful woman had his navy blue thin coat in her hands. She was shy as she put on his coat for him.

Ning Qing froze, and a stream of sourness entered her heart.

This thin coat was on his body. It was covering her body just a few hours ago. She thought that this coat had only been touched by the two of them, but now there was someone else who was doing so.

She was depressed, and she went to her mother’s condominium.

It was the same. Mu Yunfan also did not return for the entire night.

It was the weekend, Ning Qing had nothing to do, so she helped her mother wash the vegetables, then prepared lunch.

“Qingqing, I have not seen Shaoming for such a long time. Is he still on a business trip?” Yue Wanqing asked.

Ning Qing’s expression froze and she smiled forcefully. “Shaoming returned last night, but he is busy with work. He even slept in the office yesterday. HE doesn’t have time to visit Mum and Grandma.”

“Okay.” Yue Wanqing nodded her head and said with pity, “Working men have it rough. If you are free, you need to accompany Shaoming more. You have to take care of his body. You give Shaoming a call. See if he has time to return home to have lunch at noon. Mum will prepare a table full of dishes for him.”

“…Okay.”

Ning Qing went to the living room to make the call, and the phone rang 3 times before the other end slowly picked up. “Hello.”

His deep and charming voice made Ning Qing numb.

Her white hand had a tight grip on the phone. Ning Qing’s small face was a little red as she said, “Hello, Shaoming, it’s me. Mum asked if you have time to come back for lunch.”

She could hear a pen swishing against the paper. He was probably vetting some documents, and he casually said, “I have a meeting at noon. I don’t have time, you two have lunch together.”

Ning Qing was disappointed. She still wanted to speak, but the other end said, “If there’s nothing else, I have to hang up. I am a little busy.”

Du du du… The busy tone repeated, and Lu Shaoming had already ended the call.

Ning Qing, “…”

….

Inside the President’s office in Guang Qing, Lu Shaoming was signing his name on the document and held onto a fountain pen.

He lay back lazily into the soft chair. He picked up a cup of coffee and he had a small sip.

Zhu Rui stood by his side and asked with a smile, “President, Madam has realized her wrongdoing after experiencing what happened last night. She is now taking the initiative to admit her mistakes; why are you not accepting it?”

“Now is not the time to accept it. I understand Ning Qing’s character. It would be hard to say if she forgives Mu Yunfan when he comes to speak to her. I still need to keep the line of fire alit. I must wait for her to build barriers in her heart and set a distance between herself and Mu Yunfan first.”

Zhu Rui had his doubts. “But, President, Madam’s character is also a little stubborn. You are not scared that she…would be furious?”

“Heh.’ Lu Shaoming curled up his lips and lifted his gaze to look at Zhu Rui. He did not answer but asked him instead, “Do you know how to tame a little wild cat?”

Zhu Rui, “…” He needed to absorb the teachings of President.

“It is very easy: Make her fall in love with you, but don’t make yourself easily available to her. She will be hooked by you, and she will naturally chase after you. You have gained some traction, and after you act tough and talk softly, she will definitely follow after you loyally. She’ll then take the initiative to look for you.”

So he hugged her at the bar last night, but he did not kiss her. He knew that she missed him. There was a desire in her eyes, and he was almost set ablaze by all of his passion, but he would just not let her get what she wished for.

She could not get what she wanted, and she would therefore want it even more.

Zhu Rui looked at his President planning and strategizing, and he understood it all. It seemed like Madam would spend the rest of her life firmly controlled by President.

This man was too cunning. He looked kind on the outside, but he was actually scheming on the inside. He took one step while calculating the next 100; there was no one that could win against him.

“President, Mu Yunfan had already made many calls wanting to meet you. When do you plan to meet him?”

“Heh, he is already unable to keep still? Wasn’t he arrogant and delighted when he first returned to the country? Didn’t he want to fight me for her favor? I did not make any moves, and it was because I would not employ that man’s childish tactics. He is a 23 year old man. He thought that we would be in the same league?”

“The people that he put around me, he thought that I did not know about them? He thought that he could make use of what happened in the bar to drive a wedge between me and Ning Qing, and he wanted to spike my drink. He didn’t know — his chances to strike only came about when I allowed it. I’m the one who induced him to appear at the bar, and I forced him to show his true colours then. His alcohol was long spiked by me. I’m the one who directed a great show for him.

“Ignore him for the moment. What for his true character to kick; he’ll get impatient. Once that happens, we will be able to make use of him in the afternoon.”

“Yes, sir.” Zhu Rui nodded his head, not knowing what his President was plotting again.

But that sentence, “fight me for her favor,” made Zhu Rui laugh for a long time. Hear, hear! This was actually something his cold boss could say.

He also said that he was in a different league than the 23 year old man.

He was only afraid that he would get more and more jealous.

Madam would never know. The girls chatting in the restroom were all arranged by President. Even the script was handwritten by President himself.

[Riding the bicycle together and feeding a meal to you; you were holding on Kai Nan’s elbow, and Kai Nan kissed your hair…] …President was pretty good at making others feel nauseous.

“President, what should we do about Ye Ting? She came again this morning. She wanted to invite you to lunch today. It’s plain to see that she is interested in you, President.”

Lu Shaoming’s sharp gaze pierced Zhu Rui. “Remind her not to forget that it is all an act between me and her. If she immersed herself into the role too deeply, then I would invite her to exit the scene.”

“Yes, sir.”

Lu Shaoming had another sip of coffee, and he stood up. He held a folder between two fingers as he prepared to go to a meeting. Before he left, he addressed Zhu Rui. “Let the hotel send a seafood dish to my mother in law’s place. Aso, cancel all my appointments in the afternoon; I am waiting for Madam’s call.”

Zhu Rui: “…” President was using a fish to bait a small wild cat.

…

In the afternoon, Ning Qing, Mother, and Grandmother were having a meal at the dining table.

“Qingqing, why did Yunfan not return for lunch today? Also, I have not seen Shaoming for a few days,” Grandma murmured.

“Grandma, they are both working. They have all reminded you to eat more.” Ning Qing comforted Grandma.

Grandma broke into a smile immediately.

“Qingqing, Shao Ming has a meeting in the afternoon. Mum has made some soup. Bring some to him later.”

Ning Qing looked downwards as she ate a small bite of rice. “Oh.” She responded despondently and thought of the call that he hung up in a hurry, and she was listless.

Yue Wanqing saw that she was unhappy and chided her. “Qingqing, Shaoming is busy working. You as a wife have to understand him better; don’t be too stubborn…”

She was being stubborn?

Yue Wanqing had not finished criticizing Ning Qing, and suddenly: Ding! The doorbell rang.

“Who is that, I will go open the door?” Ning Qing walked to the door.

The main door was open, and there were two men dressed in chef outfits standing outside the door. “President’s wife, President ordered for us to send dishes over. This is stir fried giant yellow croaker in a clay pot.”

Ning Qing froze. Why did he send dishes over?

He was a bad man who did not even bother to speak to her.

The chef walked into the dining room, opened the lid of the pot, and placed the piping hot dish onto the dining table. He used a gas stove to heat the pot up. “Old Madam, Madam, this giant yellow croaker is what the fishermen from Nan’ao Island chanced upon at sea. The price can be compared to gold. The meat of this fish can be considered medicine, and it has good effects for Old Madam’s diabetes. President has specially ordered this rare dish that is not easy to come by. He has asked us to bring over 11 pounds over to let you both have a taste, and he wishes that you will enjoy it deliciously.”

The two chefs walked out the door.

Ning Qing closed the door, and Yue Wanqing smiled as she called out to her. “Qingqing, look at you. Once Shaoming has something special, he would want to share it with you, but Mum told you to bring some soup over, and you were listless upon hearing that. How would you compare with Shaoming?’

“That’s right, Qingqing. Giant yellow croaker? Grandma has never heard of such a dish. I have the luck to try it today. Grandma thinks that Shaoming is really not too bad. He thinks about you all the time.”

Ning Qing curled her lips into a sweet smile. Her heart felt like it was smothered with a layer of honey. Aiya, what was he trying to do now?

He couldn’t be bothered with her a minute ago.

“Mum, I remembered that you would bring Grandma to the Chinese chess room to play some Chinese chess. Could you buy some vegetables when you pass by the market? When you come home later, I will call Shao Ming later in the afternoon and ask him to stay for dinner.”

…

In the afternoon, Mother accompanied Grandma to the Chinese chess room. Ning Qing had a spring in her step as she went back into her own room. She opened the closet, picked a red spaghetti strap dress with a V collar, and put it on.

She came to face the mirror. She let down her hair which had been tied up. There was thin, youthful fringe on her forehead.

She was actually an exquisite and attractive girl. She did not need any makeup, and she was already beautiful and perfect like porcelain.

She blushed as she took out her phone and dialed Lu Shaoming’s number.

“Hello.” He picked up quickly this time.

Ning Qing quickly cupped her stomach, and frowned while she said, “Shaoming, what fish did you send this afternoon? Not only was it horrible in taste, but it still made my stomach hurt! Ay, my stomach hurts so much!”
