My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

After an almost six-hour car ride, it was already nine at night when Ning Qing arrived at her destination. Xiao Cui’s house was in another old village in another city. She pushed open the door and walked into Xiao Cui’s house.

Xiao Cui’s parents had been taken to the city by their son. It had been a while since someone visited. The brightly colored wall was covered with moss, and the wooden door was teetering.

Ning Qing entered the house and she touched the wall to reach for the switch. Pak! A light in the house lit up.

There’s some light at least.

Ning Qing looked around the house and opened the door to enter the room on the west side of the house.

Ning Qing could recognize that it was where Xiao Cui used to live. She looked around and opened the drawer.

There were a few letters in the drawer. Ning Qing read them. Xiao Cui was a filial daughter. She mailed back every check from her job at the Ning family home to her parents to support them. She also exhorted them to take care of their health.

“No! You promise to let me grow up on my own. I don’t want to be a caged canary. I’ll let you know before I do anything else in the future.”

Lu Shaoming didn’t speak, but his fingers pinched her smooth cheeks hard. It felt refined. Her cheeks were so soft and smooth.

“Ouch!” Ning Qing slapped his hand away and let out a satisfying groan. “Shaoming, why are you here today?”

“Huh? I called you in the morning but you didn’t answer so I went to pick you up at the filming studio after work. Your assistant Xiao Zhou told me you’d taken a long-distance bus so I took a wild guess that you’d definitely be here.” Lu Shaoming then raised his blade-like eyebrows and looked at her in disdain with a smile. “Why? What do you get from coming here alone?”

Look at his expression, he was obviously belittling me!

Men who are dealing with all of the turbulence of the business circle, like him, naturally wouldn’t bother about the battle among the wealthy families. A man had their career and wouldn’t get involved in a woman’s personal matters.

Just like the humiliation that he inflicted upon Ning Yao, it was so sharp and merciless. However, he wouldn’t expose Ning Yao at the banquet hall. It was the way of a man from an influential family.

He disdained to do so and he wasn’t used to it.

“Of course. When the gangsters wanted to take advantage of me, I made an audio recording.” Ning Qing took out her phone from her jeans pocket then she slid the screen. There was a recording of the gangster’s voice:

“Boss, is what she said real? Is Li Meiling reliable? There are so many cases of murder to keep one’s mouth shut…”

Lu Shaoming’s slender eyes twinkled and turned around to look into the girl’s eyes. In her eyes, there was the light of wisdom shimmering. Heh, he did belittle her.

The corner of his lips lifted into a loving arc as he asked gently, “How do you know that Li Meiling would send someone over?”

He instantly knew her plan the moment she played the recording. Exactly, she knew long ago that Li Meiling would send someone over. Hence, she recorded in silence when the gangsters appeared.

“I thought about it carefully in the afternoon. Both trails of clue from Xiao Cui and Grandma were cut off. Li Meiling could sit back and relax. Why did Li Meiling call to look for Xiao Cui in the morning? She definitely guessed that I’ve been monitoring her, and she wanted to mislead me to Xiao Cui’s house!”

“If so, I might as well jump into the trap that she has prepared. You won’t get a tiger if you don’t enter the tiger’s den. I want to know what trick she was playing. There’s a flaw in every lie. I’m waiting for her to take action. I had just never guessed that her tricks are forever so low. She had no better ideas than to hire gangsters!”

“Mm.” Lu Shaoming kissed her forehead and pulled her into his embrace. “But the recording wouldn’t be sufficient to charge Li Meiling for her wrongdoings. What is your plan?”

Ning Qing nestled in his arms and smiled the refreshing scent on him. She thought and said, “I’ve yet to decide. I won’t take action recklessly this time. I will knock her down once I take action.”

“Hehe,” Lu Shaoming lifted her chin with two fingers and kissed her, “My wife, why do I find you smarter and more lovable?”

She had always been like that. She could come back from death’s door and beat someone at their own game. Plus, when she was dealing with the gangsters, she was calm and composed. Even when she stabbed the gangster and the blood spattered on her face, she didn’t panic. How many girls in the world would be as determined and brave as she was?

Even if she were homeless, she could still live an amazing life!

Ning Qing’s cheeks grew rosy. Actually, her little tricks couldn’t be compared to his. He was experienced and mature. She was innocent in comparison.

But he was so happy and treated her as his precious treasure.

Ning Qing hugged his head and responded to him bashfully yet passionately.

That’s great. He drove all this way to pick her up!

…

After a deep kiss, Ning Qing lay on the passenger seat. Lu Shaoming took out his jacket and covered her. “Ning Qing, let’s have dinner. What do you want to eat?”

“Mm, we’ll just eat somewhere in town. Don’t have to take a detour.” Ning Qing felt heartache for him because he had to drive for so long. Even a man of steel couldn’t stand this.

“Okay.”

In twenty minutes’ time, Lu Shaoming arrived at the nearest town. Ning Qing saw a hotpot joint that was quite clean and she suggested, “Shaoming, let’s have hotpot. It’s best to have hotpot in autumn.”

“Mm,” Lu Shaoming parked the car.

The two of them entered the hotpot shop. There were a few other tables of guests and she picked the seat by the window while Lu Shaoming sat opposite her.

The waiter passed them a menu. Ning Qing first picked a few dishes and she passed the menu to Lu Shaoming. The man looked down at the menu and read carefully.

The more time she spent with him, the more she noticed his precious qualities. He used to go to and come from high-class venues, eat and wear the best products, but he still never minds coming to small restaurants. There was an unrestrained manner in his character.

He took off his suit jacket and put it on the chair next to him. The handsome body of the man in the white shirt was like a statue when he wasn’t moving. He was elegant and charming.

He looked superior to simple men.

Lu Shaoming picked a few dishes and passed the menu back to the waitress. He then said in a deep voice, “And two glasses of water.”

“Okay,” the waitress didn’t know who the man was but she found him even more attractive than those men on TV. The waitress replied excitedly as she blushed in titillation.

After the waitress left, Ning Qing lifted her eyes to see the few tables of guests eyeing Lu Shaoming. The girls in small towns never see any man who is as elegant and poised as Lu Shaoming. It was quite a shock to the patrons, especially since all the guests were girls in their twenties. The way they covered their mouths and giggled looked just like cats in heat.

Ning Qing felt uneasy.

They cast greedy eyes over my man; Do they think I don’t exist?

The waiter brought two glasses of water over and Lu Shaoming raised a glass of water to his lips. Then, Ning Qing said, “Shaoming, I want to drink water.”

Lu Shaoming looked up at her in shock and glanced at the glass of water by the side of her hand. He was trying to tell her that she has her own.
