My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

Chapter 138 - : The More You Pamper Her, The More Stubborn She Gets



Mu Yunfan walked out of the ward. Grandma was sleeping. Ning Qing folded Grandma’s clothes neatly and placed them near the head of the bed.

When she turned around, she saw the man standing by the door.

Lu Shaoming had come.

He wore a dark blue coat matched with a maroon knitted sweater. The collar of the sweater highlighted the light pink collar of the shirt. His outfit was complemented by a pair of black formal office trousers.

He was elegant and handsome in the early morning. The clothes reflected his defined and toned figure, and he was attractive and confident.

She did not know when he arrived. He stood silently by the door.

“You are here, Shaoming.” Ning Qing’s eyes brightened up immediately and she ran towards him.

Lu Shaoming’s eyes were gentle and he reached out to pat her hair. “Did you sleep last night?”

For the first time, he realized that Lu Shaoming was a strong competitor. He kept silent for a long period. His eyes were more than clear about what was going on, and he understood the rules of the game.

Mu Yunfan laughed viciously and said, “It’s okay not to have an ending. If I’m not satisfied, then I would ask Young Master Lu to accompany me, I can stay here to nauseate you.”

Lu Shaoming looked at him meaningfully, and responded, “Are you sure?’

Mu Yunfan panicked, asking, “What do you mean?”

“Oh, nothing much, Young Master Mu seemed to always have the controlling power. Following this, I will give Young Master Lu a lesson. In this world, there is only biased love that can allow you to act without a care. Comparing Ning Qing’s love for you and me, you are forever unworthy.”

Mu Yunfan’s sharp gaze sparkled for a moment, then they heard Grandma say, “Qingqing, I need to use the washroom.”

Mu Yunfan swiftly turned back and walked to Grandma’s side, “Qingqing, I will accompany you to bring Grandma to the toilet. Young Master Lu is busy, he should return to the office soon.”

The duo helped Grandma stand up, and when they reached the door of the room, Ning Qing looked at Lu Shaoming. “Shaoming, go back to work. Brother Yunfan is here. You can focus on your work.”

Lu Shaoming did not answer but looked silently at her and Mu Yunfan.

Ning Qing thought that Lu Shaoming’s expression was weird. “Shaoming…” She wanted to talk to him, but Mu Yunfan called her to his side, saying, “Qingqing, hurry up. Granny is in a rush.”

“Oh.” Ning Qing nodded her head and went to support Grandma’s elbow. Both of them held onto Grandma’s elbows as they escorted her to the washroom.

Lu Shaoming looked at the 3 figures who were slowly disappearing from sight

But after Mu Yunfan had taken a few steps, he turned back to look at him. He smiled provocatively at him, as if to say, “Look, you are the outsider!”

Lu Shaoming curled his thin lips into a smile. He placed the thermos in his hand onto the long bench in the corridor. He put both hands in his pockets and then left confidently.

When Ning Qing helped Grandma out of the bathroom, she could not see Lu Shaoming in sight. The thermos in his hand was sitting isolated on the long bench in the corridor.

Ning Qing had a bad premonition. The silent look at Lu Shaoming gave her by the door was clear with a hint of indifference.

He had never looked at her like this before.

Moreover, the two of them were in a lovey dovey stage.

She helped Grandma back into bed. Ning Qing walked out the ward and bent down to take the thermos.

The thermos was cold.

When Lu Shaoming brought it over, it was still hot.

Ning Qing took out her phone to call Lu Shaoming. It rang a few times, but the automated female voice from answering machine said, “Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable.”

Ning Qing’s heart sank. She was anxious, like a cat on a hot tin roof.

His behaviour was abnormal.

She was totally sure that he was behaving abnormally.

Ning Qing was extremely frustrated, she dialed multiple numbers, and nobody picked up.

He did not answer her calls.

Ning Qing stood on the spot. She was anxious, not knowing what she did wrong to make him angry. He was fine just now, even asking her to kiss him.

Could it be that she did not give it to him yesterday?

“Qingqing.” Mu Yunfan walked in at this moment and asked, “What is the matter? What happened?”

He did not have the chance to complete his sentence before Ning Qing pushed the thermos in her arms to him. “Brother Yunfan, I am leaving for a bit.” Ning Qing ran to the elevator.

Mu Yunfan saw her disappearing figure. His expression became cold.

Ning Qing ran out the hospital doors. The wind was cold and biting. She looked around frantically, and the familiar Bentley was not in sight.

Lu Shaoming had left.

She used her slim arms to cup herself, giving herself warmth, and called Zhu Rui’s number immediately.

“Hello, Madam.” Zhu Rui picked up swiftly.

Ning Qing was jubilant. “Secretary Zhu, where’s my president? I called all his numbers just now; he did not answer any of them.”

“Oh, President is on the way to the airport. Maybe he is too busy and didn’t hear the phone ring.”

“Airport? He’s going on a business trip again? How long this time?”

“That’s right, he is on a business trip. It is unconfirmed at this time. It might be 2 days, or it might be a week. If things go well, he will return soon.”

Ning Qing was disappointed; he’d gone on another business trip.

Last time he went on a business trip, she landed in the hands of the taxi serial killer. Although he did not say it, she knew that he was trying to keep the work-trips to a minimum.

He was always by her side. If there were an international matter, he would use a long distance conference call to settle it.

He left for a business trip. This was the first time that he did not inform her personally.

“Then… then did he leave a message behind?”

Zhu Rui was silent for a few seconds. “No. President would normally tell me to take care of Madam when he was overseas. This time, he said…”

“What did he say?”

“President said that Madam has her Brother Yunfan present. He can go to work in peace. President also said that this was what Madam told him personally.”

Ning Qing,”…”

Zhu Rui navigated the car away from the hospital. He used the rear view mirror to look at Ning Qing, who was standing far away. She’d come down in a rush and was dressed only in a fur shirt. Her little figure was fragile in the wind.

Then taking a glance at Lu Shaoming in the backseat, he was also using the rear view mirror to observe the woman. His expression was secretive, but Zhu Rui caught a subtle glimpse of pain in his brow.

“President, you really want to throw Madam there? Aren’t you going back?”

“Going back?” Lu Shaoming laughed at himself mockingly. “What would I go back to do? She is unaware. If we continue like this, we will quarrel one day.”

He wasn’t a generous man. He would not be indifferent looking at other men hug and kiss his wife.

Those who were magnanimous enough could choose to be.

The most exasperating and helpless thing being, his wife did not have a sense of whatever that was going on.

Still called him Brother Yunfan time after time.

Lu Shaoming curled his brows slightly, hiding the tears rolling in his eyes.

“Then, President, aren’t you scared?”

“Ah.” Lu Shaoming laughed unhurriedly. “What is there to be afraid of? Scared that she would fall in love with Mu Yunfan? Or fear that she would bear the title of Madam Lu and betray me?”

Zhu Rui shook his head with confidence. “Madam is not that type of person.”

“That would be it. Although Mu Yunfan has motives, he would need Ning Qing’s cooperation to succeed. That being said, if I did not leave, Mu Yunfan would be hesitant in his actions. With my departure, giving them both some space, I want to see what would Mu Yunfan do. With action taken, there would be a gap somewhere definitely, if Ning Qing still cannot see through the gaps…then I…”

Lu Shaoming laughed, he could only laugh.

“Yes, President. Mu Yunfan is only using the title of ‘brother’ to get close to Madam. Madam would not allow him to succeed.”

Lu Shaoming looked outside the window. His voice tender with love as he said, “Mu Yunfan accompanied Ning Qing for 18 years. Ning Qing treated him even greater than a brother, because Ning Qing received too little love. So she additionally cherished everyone that was good towards her. Just like with Kong Yang, she would not suspect anyone by her side. If not for the 3 years of suffering in the entertainment industry, her personality would be even more innocent and kind.

“Ning Qing does not understand. If I took action, I could do more, but I am unwilling. I want to use restraint and wait for her to grow up herself, to learn how to tackle her problems. I don’t want her to be sad. I don’t want her to be disappointed.”

“But, her speed is too slow. My patience is running out fast. I can’t help but give her a push.”

The 30 year old man did not behave like a young jealous child. Acting out is childish and ineffective, and Lu Shaoming would not do so.

He always had his method and principles regarding the things that he took on.

But he was also a man. He might claim to not mind, but in his heart, it bothered him.

When she was being intimate with Mu Yunfan, although she only saw Mu Yunfan as a brother, he could not take it.

He thought that he could give her more time, but he could not wait any further. He was afraid that he would allow Mu Yunfan to disappear from the face of this earth.

But shouldn’t the person making Mu Yunfan disappear be Ning Qing?

It was only fun that way.

“President, what are your plans?” Zhu Rui questioned.

Lu Shaoming lay lazily in the seat. His thin lips formed a small smile. In a carefree manner, he said, “My mother in law has a famous saying. ‘A woman, the more you pamper her, the more stubborn she gets,’ ha.”
