My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

Lu Shaoming smiled in a reserved manner but didn’t reply.

The hotel manager couldn’t hold back; he took the dish from a waiter and served the dish to the aunt. He said politely, “Aunt, he is our hotel’s CEO. Every dish here is specially cooked by the top chef in the hotel. You can’t find it anywhere else. Aunties, please enjoy your lunch.”

“CEO?” The aunt’s suspicious emotion seemed to reveal her confusion, what’s that?

“CEO means boss,” the hotel manager explained patiently.

The aunties gasped. The hotel looked like it was one of the top hotels in T city. The person opposite them… was the boss?

They shook their heads in disbelief.

Lu Shaoming took a bowl and filled the bowl with soup before he placed it in front of Yue Wanqing, “Mom, this is shark fin soup with cordyceps and sea cucumber. It’s really good for your health. I told the chef to cook it for you. Try it.”

“Mm,” Lu Shaoming nodded. His slender black eyes revealed a sharp gaze with wisdom. He replied calmly, “The aunties harbored a preconceived idea. They wouldn’t have believed anything we said. They will only wake up when their sons tell them.”

“Then, why’d you treat them to a meal? Why not just tell their sons to tell them off?”

Lu Shaoming lowered his voice. There was a tinge of affection in his deep voice. “Didn’t you say that they’re your mom’s friends?”

Ning Qing didn’t say anything else. Her crystal clear eyes were welled-up with tears. If her mom wasn’t there, she’d really want to hug him, very tightly.

He was trying to tell her, he’ll do anything to make her happy.

Yue Wanqing was very happy that night, “Shaoming, thank you.”

“Mom, that’s what I should do.” Lu Shaoming’s phone rang and he answered the call. He said, “Ning Qing, I’m going downstairs for a while. Zhu Rui has a document that I need to read through. There’s a health center at the hotel. I’d tell the manager to bring you, see what mom likes.”

“Mm, hurry up and go.” Ning Qing nodded.

Lu Shaoming took a huge stride as he left.

Yue Wanqing watched the man’s handsome back and sighed happily. “This Shaoming, the more I see, the less I’m worried. But Qingqing, was what the aunt’s son said true? It’s so scary. Is Shaoming’s family really that rich?”

“Mom, I married him because of who he is. Why are you so worried?” Ning Qing was afraid that her mom would overthink so she quickly changed the subject.

Ning Qing herself was surprised that she had fallen into this gold pit.

…

Lu Shaoming walked out of the hotel and noticed there was a luxurious car parked next to the stairs. Zhu Rui was standing next to the door.

Lu Shaoming looked but didn’t walk towards Zhu Rui. He walked down the stairs and turned towards a secluded area.

There was a man standing there, Kong Yang.

Kong Yang clenched his fists and there was jealousy in his eyes. “You think you’re great that you won against me? It was just money. Do you think Ning Qing would be with you if you didn’t have money?”

Lu Shaoming stood straight and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He lit a cigarette with his lighter and took a puff. The smoke curled up as his gaze grew deep and dark. He smirked in disdain. “Ning Qing is with me because I’m rich. Then why would Ning Qing follow you who are poor? Because of love?”

Kong Yang hated his wealthy aura. He stood handsomely and every single word he uttered showed that he was the helmsman.

He was an authority.

Kong Yang was inferior because he knew that he couldn’t win against the authority. He was too weak. But he was the one who liked Ning Qing first, how could he overtake him?

The more inferior he realized he was, the angrier he felt.

“Am I wrong? If you couldn’t afford to pay Ning Qing’s mom’s surgery fees, if you couldn’t help her in her entertainment career, would she love you?”

“Heh.” Lu Shaoming smiled. He looked calm and quiet but his sharp gaze pierced Kong Yang as he said, “I paid her mom’s surgery fees, I helped her, due to my capability to provide her a good materialistic foundation. This is what I do because I love her. What do you have? When her mom needed surgery, you took out a mortgage on your property and you only managed to lend one fifth of the surgery fees. What do you have to show her your love?”

Kong Yang was stabbed right where it hurt. His eyes grew red.

Lu Shaoming continued, “In your head, Ning Qing is a good girl. In this word, the better the girl is, the more exquisite she deserves to be treated. You can’t provide for her but I can. How are you qualified to question me?”

“I look down on you not because you have no money but because you’re a coward and you’re not willing to accept the reality. Ning Qing does not owe you. You couldn’t get what you want so you became wicked. You stirred up the few aunties and put Ning Qing’s mom in a difficult position. Hatred derived from love; you’re a wicked man.”

Kong Yang clenched his fist and it cracked. “I see. So, you knew. Go ahead and tell Ning Qing. Tell Ning Qing what kind of a person I am.”

“There’s no need to.” Lu Shaoming shook his head.

“Why?”

Lu Shaoming looked at the lamp afar and replied gently, “There are very few people who’ve treated Ning Qing with kindness and Ning Qing remembers everyone who lent a helping hand to her sincerely. She thinks you’re one of those people. I don’t want her to feel disappointed nor do I want her to feel upset.”

Kong Yang’s body stiffened as he looked up at Lu Shaoming.

He…

The tears in Kong Yang’s eyes flowed down. He gnawed and said, “I give up but remember this, I’m giving up not because I lost to you but because I lost to your love for Ning Qing. I’ll take the steps to further my studies at Cambridge UK tomorrow. I’ll return in five years. If you will have treated her poorly by then, I will take her back.”

Then, Kong Yang turned and ran.

Lu Shaoming exhaled out the last puff of smoke. Then, he put off the cigarette butt under his shoe. There wouldn’t be a chance; Ning Qing will forever be his!

…

Ning Qing left the hotel to look for Lu Shaoming. He was talking to Zhu Rui in front of the car.

Zhu Rui was holding a document while Lu Shaoming had one hand in his pocket and the other pointed at the document as he muttered something. The man’s deep sideburns were beautiful. His mountain-like nose was plump and good looking. He was a mature looking man.

Ning Qing looked at him and suddenly looked away. She realized that she’s become more and more shallow. She would stare at him uncontrollably and sometimes blush for no reason.

She thought about it and she felt bad. He was so busy with work but she dragged him to have dinner. She was not understanding.

“Ning Qing,” Lu Shaoming saw her and called.

Ning Qing quickly looked around and Zhu Rui had already retreated to the side politely. So, she walked towards the man.

“Where’s Mom?” Lu Shaoming asked.

“Mom is having a massage at the health center so I came to look for you.” Ning Qing avoided meeting his gaze when she spoke. Her face was filled with apology and embarrassment.

Lu Shaoming smiled. “Why, you know you did something wrong?”

Ning Qing put both her hands behind her and nodded obediently. “Mm, I’ll not get you into any more trouble.”

This silly girl. Is the trouble he got into not enough?

Why would the aunties in the ward suddenly start accosting her mom? She would never guess that the boy who was once so friendly to her was the instigator.

And also Xu Junxi. As a man, Xu Junxi brought Ning Yao to do things in the room next to hers, only a dumb person wouldn’t understand how filthy Xu Junxi’s mind was.

A man’s desire could easily be stoked by the voice of a woman they long for.

She didn’t know how provocative she was, which put him at odds with two different men.

The girl was one head shorter than him. He took a step closer to her. “Ning Qing, I did you a great favor today. I taught you before, how would you thank me?”

Ning Qing blushed. How could he be… So improper?!

He liked to ask for kisses!

After thinking for a moment, Ning Qing tiptoed and extended her arms to hold onto his neck. There was a denim colored scarf around her smooth fair neck, accentuating her exquisite look.

She closed her eyes and kissed his handsome face.

Just as she stepped back, she heard the man’s arrogant voice, “Ning Qing, I’m ten years older than you. Do you think I’m old?”

Ning Qing was stunned. She’d never thought that he would ask such a question.

A man like him shouldn’t be afraid of aging. Time to them meant richer life experience; it meant a higher and more elegant place in the world.
