Chapter 124 - It Is Easy For You To Know The Answer
“Is it really true? But…” Ning Qing was troubled and in a daze.
“But what?” Lu Shaoming ‘s eyes shimmered like obsidian. His gentle tone was comforting. “Ning Qing, there is nothing that we cannot overcome in this world. There is only love that we passed up. Does your heart not hurt at the thought of leaving me?”
Ning Qing breathed carefully and shook her head many times. “No, Shaoming, I am in such great pain. I was not willing to leave you. Once I thought of losing you, I felt like my heart had been emptied out completely. I don’t want any other woman to have you. It was you who made the first move, and you can only belong to me…Ugh.”
Lu Shaoming kissed her on the lips.
Ning Qing placed her hands on his neck. Her petite figure leaning on his chest, she hugged him tightly, passionately responding to him.
This was the most passionate time since they met one another. Ning Qing’s response triggered Lu Shaoming’s body to go up in flames. He crazily and violently went for her. Ning Qing felt like her own breath was going to be taken away by him.
When they were drunk kissing, the man hoarsely said, “The next time you decide to leave, could you be more sensible? Merely boarding a taxi could result in real danger for you. Do you know what would happen if I would have arrived a moment too late?”
“Um, the taste is good. Shaoming, have you eaten? Have a bite yourself. Try it. I can’t finish this big bowl of noodles; we can finish it together.”
Lu Shaoming saw her gentle moving lips, swallowed his saliva, lowered his head, and then also had a bite of noodles.
“Does it taste good?” Ning Qing asked.
“Um, still not bad.” Lu Shaoming nodded his head.
The two of them shared a bowl of noodles. This was life’s most ordinary and heart-warming joy. Ning Qing’s eyes beamed brightly.
However…
“What is it?” the man behind her noticed that she was in a daze. He bit biting her pale earlobe and asked her what was going on.
Ning Qing frowned, “Shaoming, you treat me so well, but the truth is cruel. I led you into this mess. Your honour, Guang Qing Company, and even Auntie Yang would know that 3 years ago, I had previously…the rumours have hurt you… you..”
Lu Shaoming’s lips curled up. His half closed eyes became sharp and cold, like he was making a deep prediction.
He laughed gently. “Ning Qing, what did I tell you before? Let me, I will settle this matter well. You will be able to resume your life as usual tomorrow.”
“Shaoming, what do you plan to do?” Ning Qing asked curiously.
“Won’t you know tomorrow? I am older than you by 10 years. I think that I was born earlier to protect you.”
“Hehe, Shaoming. I am younger than you by 10 years. I feel like the hardships that I’d gone through in the past were a trial while I waited for your protection.”
Lu Shaoming looked at her gentle eyes and lowered his gaze to kiss her. “Ning Qing, I simply prefer girls like you, with stubborn yet strong character, so do not disappoint me. These rumours are not scary. It’s only scary if you give up on yourself.”
Ning Qing hooked him by his neck and kissed him. “Shaoming, I will regain my senses and retaliate. If only because you still want me, I will not give up on myself.”
“Um, I want you. I, Lu Shaoming, want you for life.” Lu Shaoming kissed her deeply.
He only kissed her for a moment, Ning Qing let out a noise, and collapsed into his embrace with her eyes shut tight.
“What’s wrong? Ning Qing?” Lu Shaoming used his cheeks to nudge her clean forehead. She was hot and feverish.
“Auntie Yang, quickly call the doctor!”
Ning Qing slept from afternoon to night. Last night, she slept alone on the cold floor and contracted the flu. Alongside mentally and physically draining stressors that she’s endured, she’s now running a high fever.
The doctor came and gave her a strong acetaminophen injection. She was in agony for the entire night. Only after such suffering could her high fever could be considered cured.
She was groggy and she felt someone using a warm towel to wipe her body. She’d been changed out of her pajamas that were drenched in her sweat.
When she regained consciousness, her throat was uncomfortable. The yellow light shone above her head, and she was embraced tightly by someone.
“Dear, are you awake?” A handsome face entered her field of view. The man in her eyes looked extremely nervous and caring.
“Water…” Ning Qing said weakly.
“Alright.” Lu Shaoming left the bed and poured a cup of warm water, using one hand to assist her to seat up and let her lean into his embrace, while the other hand gave her water.
After 3 conservative cups of water, Ning Qing felt a little better, but her entire body felt limp. She barely had any strength.
“Ning Qing, you were running a high fever. The fever has just subsided. I prepared some medicine. It might be a little bitter, hold it down.”
Lu Shaoming placed a cup of medicine in front of Ning Qing.
The scent of strong Chinese medicine wafted in through her nostrils. Ning Qing was on the brink of tears. She was afraid of taking medication, and every time she would gag once she thought of this smell.
“I don’t want to drink it.” Ning Qing nested her small face into his neck, greedily smelling the clean warm scent of his body.
“Be good, dear. You have to take medication to deal with your illness. Only then can you recover.” Lu Shaoming gently coaxed her. His deep, soulful voice was soothing to the ear.
Ning Qing shook her head violently. Her innate effeminate side came out. Her small hand touched his collar and she attempted to gain his favour. “I don’t want to. It’s too bitter. I will vomit. I will really vomit. Shaoming, I will be well after I rest. Don’t make me drink this medication; I am begging you.”
“No, you must drink it. Darling, listen to me,” Lu Shaoming responded, using her pet name.
Ning Qing knew that he was exhibiting his charm. She imitated his demeanour, embraced his head, and kissed him. With pouting lips, and a girly tone, she sweetly said, “Hubby, I don’t want to.”
Lu Shaoming ‘s lower body tightened. He silently cursed, and his face went solemn. “I give you two choices: First, you drink it yourself. Second, I give it to you mouth-to- mouth.”
She thought, he left no way for her to not comply.
Ning Qing saw her plan had failed, and she stared at him while puffing her pink cheeks. He was bad, so bad!
“I choose the second option!”
He wanted her to drink, right? How about having a taste himself?
Lu Shaoming raised his eyebrows. “You sure?”
Ning Qing grunted happily. “Why, you are scared now?”
“Ha.” Lu Shaoming squinted his eyes, elegantly took a mouth of medicine, and pushed his mouth onto hers. Those offensive and dangerous eyes looked at her as if to say, “This was what you chose.”
Ning Qing regretted her choice.
One cup of medicine went down her stomach in half an hour’s time. She was in his arms. Her entire body was not unwell but she felt drunk, drunk from his kisses.
This man, was cunning and smart.
He was not tasting the medicine; he was obviously having a taste of her.
Lu Shaoming used one palm to cup her face, and proclaimed with satisfaction, “Dear, still think that medicine is bitter? I saw you enjoying just now.”
Ning Qing blushed and did not say a word.
She did not taste the Chinese medicine. Her mouth had been filled entirely with his crisp and attractive flavor, and she felt a little light headed.
Noticing her lack of response, Lu Shaoming knew that she was shy. He quietly embraced her for a while, then looked at her and asked, “Dear, 3 years ago, after leaving the Mu residence, did your body feel anything?”
Ning Qing stiffened entirely upon his words.
Lu Shaoming knew that she was afraid.
After hearing the news about her after he had disembarked from the plane, although he could not pinpoint some minor details, he had a rough view of the entire matter.
Someone was out to use this matter to harm Ning Qing, and at the same time, make him hate Ning Qing and leave.
Others might not know, but this wife of his could be shy for a long while even after a simple kiss. She was incredibly timid. She was pure and clean, and even though she did not say she was innocent in the message she left for him on the phone, he knew that she had been targeted by someone 3 years ago.
However, his dear wife could not necessarily say it.
The people involved were often misled. His wife shouldered the responsibility for the downfall of the Yun family. Maybe in her heart she blamed herself. How did she get in bed? Did she really have sex? She did not think it through seriously. She was ashamed and did not want to recall what had occurred. She kept escaping, and chose to forget.
But today, he had to ask this question. She needed to come out of her suffering.
“Dear, don’t be nervous. I am only asking. You said you were drunk at the time, but when you regained consciousness, the way your body felt could not be faked. How did you feel at that time?”
Ning Qing ‘s face was deathly pale. Her petite body was shaking uncontrollably. Her hand painfully cupped her head. She shook her hand and said, “I don’t know.”
When she was slipping out of consciousness, Brother Yun Fan was removing her clothes, and seemed to kiss her…
It was utterly embarrassing.
Lu Shaoming pressed his thin lips against her forehead and gently comforted her saying, “Dear, can you try to recall? Women often feel pain during their first times. Do you remember when I was at the Ning Residence? I acted on impulse. You said that your shoulders, chest and legs hurt immensely. Did you feel any pain then?
Lu Shaoming’s voice was very gentle and had a tone of enchantment. He slowly comforted the fear in Ning Qing’s heart. She lifted her eyes to look at him, “You mean…?”
“I mean that you could be set up be someone and not know. Furthermore, you could still be a virgin.”
Ning Qing froze. She had never thought of this possibility. Over the past three years, she had been unwilling to recall what had happened.
Maybe she did not have any prior experience. That time he forcefully went on her at the Ning Residence, and they had sex, her legs could not even close. It was as if they were stuck, and she felt all kinds of discomfort.
Could it be?
Lu Shaoming looked her at her dazed expression, gently kissed her, and with a small laugh said, “Actually, to know the answer, there is a simple solution. Do you want me to help you?”
