Chapter 101 - What Do You Want To Do, Ning Qing?
Ning Qing had wanted to go quietly, but things didn’t go according to plan. When her little hand let go of the door handle, the door gave a slight squeak. The man in the study suddenly turned his head and looked at her.
His eyes were as bright and beautiful as obsidian, but they were also deep.
At this moment, it was too awkward for Ning Qing to leave, but it was also awkward to stay. She had been caught peeping.
“Haha.” She could only laugh and wave her soft white hands at him through the crack of the door. “Hi, what a coincidence.”
Lu Shaoming’s handsome face was gentle and his mouth curved up imperceptibly. He was amused by the girl.
He walked over with his long legs. He placed a big hand on the door handle. His handsome body blocked the door as he looked at her and asked, “Why are you not in bed? What are you doing here?”
Ning Qing already felt awkward enough, but now that she saw him blocking the door, the grin on her little face froze.
What should she do?
“Miss, please show me your invitation card.”
Ning Qing grinned sheepishly. She blinked her pair of innocent eyes as she begged, “Security Brother, I have an invitation card but I’m late, but my companion is inside. Security Brother, please accommodate me and let me in.”
The security guard looked very apologetic. “I’m sorry, Miss. I can’t let you in without an invitation card. It’s the rule. Ah! ”
Ning Qing ran in while the security guard was not paying attention.
The security guard was doing his job according to the rules. No matter how much she talked to him, her efforts would be fruitless. She might as well break in and find Lu Shaoming.
Upon entering the hall, Ning Qing spotted Lu Shaoming.
His handsome figure had always been the focus of attention. It was too easy to find him.
He was standing at the window of the lobby, talking to several men. The brilliant sunset outside the window covered him with dreamlike gold. His sculpted beauty and his noble temperament caused many women around him to watch him secretly and look admiringly at him.
He also stood beside a girl in a pink dress. She was about 20 years old, young and beautiful.
The two of them stood together and matched each other very well. They were like a noble couple made for each other.
Ning Qing’s first thought was that the girl was the one who had poured wine for him last night…Yi Shuang.
Her footsteps stalled completely.
On her way here, she had never thought that he would really bring a girl companion with him.
She had thought that he was just being moody. Yesterday she had coaxed him and he had pranked her. Actually, that was ok, she was wrong so he could ignore her.
But how could he bring other women to a dinner party?
Just then the security guard came after her and said, “Hey, Miss, you can’t be here!”
Ning Qing felt her left shoulder grow cold as her rosy-red knitted cardigan was torn apart by the security guard. Her fair and delicate skin was exposed.
The ruckus here quickly attracted everyone’s attention, and everyone looked towards her, one after another.
“Wow…” some unknown person gasped uncontrollably. All kinds of gazes from men fell on her shoulder. “Hey, isn’t that Ning Qing? It’s the new generation goddess indeed. Look at her fine, smooth skin; it’s like milk. But how did she get here and look so sorry?”
Ning Qing stretched out her hand to pull her little cardigan and tried to cover her little shoulder, but the security guard was pulling on it too tightly and she couldn’t move it.
She gazed across the hall, where there were some familiar faces. In fact, it was not difficult for her to get away, she could just pretend to be someone’s partner.
But she did not open her mouth, her usual eight-sided exquisite features were somewhat delighted at this moment because Lu Shaoming was looking at her from a distance.
She had never seen him look so cold. His dark narrow eyes were as cold and fierce as the night’s frost. He was looking at her so fixedly.
And that Yi Shuang was looking at her with pity.
Hah, ridiculous.
At this time, “Elder sister…” A familiar voice sounded and Ning Yao came over.
Ning Qing laughed even louder in her heart. What a good day it was today. All kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods have gathered together.
Ning Yao came forward and took Ning Qing’s hand intimately and scolded the security guard, “This is my sister. We came here together. Hurry up and let go of my sister!”
The security guard looked at Lu Shaoming, caught in a dilemma.
Lu Shaoming stood tall and handsome, his face calm and cold. His narrow eyes were gloomy and fierce as he glared at the security guard’s hand that touched Ning Qing.
A chill ran down the security guard’s back from Lu Shaoming’s gaze. He quickly loosened his grip on Ning Qing and turned away.
Ning Qing calmly tidied up her little cardigan and drew an elegant smile from her lips. She had embarrassed herself in front of Lu Shaoming, and had been saved by Ning Yao. Rarely in the past three years had she had such an embarrassing moment.
“Sister, why are you here today? Did you receive the invitation? Did you come by yourself? All the people attending the dinner are rich nobles…”
The implication of Ning Yao’s words was that Ning Qing was not a rich noble and was not eligible to receive an invitation.
The gazes that fell on Ning Qing in the hall were slightly contemptuous. Ning Qing looked at Ning Yao with a smile and said, “Yes, our invitation letter for the Ning family was taken away by you three years ago. Of course, only you had been invited to this dinner party.”
Ning Yao’s face changed greatly. Ning Qing had quietly reminded everyone of her disgraceful past.
Now everyone’s unkind gazes on Ning Qing quickly shifted to Ning Yao.
At this time, the organizer of the dinner party came out to smooth things out to ensure that everyone could have a pleasant meal, so everyone’s gazes dissipated.
Ning Yao stood in front of Ning Qing and adjusted her mood. Her expression was proud and pleased. “Sister, yesterday my family and the Xu family agreed on the wedding date. Junxi and I will soon be married. You have to come to our wedding of the century, sister.”
