Chapter 66 - Why Aren’t You Wearing Clothes
Kissing such a charming man, she wasn’t missing out, Ning Qing thought and she blushed.
She sat straight and cupped his handsome face in her hands. She got closer and pecked gently on the tooth imprint that she made.
“It doesn’t hurt.” Lu Shaoming rubbed her hair and smiled.
Ning Qing thought to herself, did I ask if it hurt?
But, she did feel guilty!
She touched the stubble on his lower jaw. Then, she looked up at his thin seductive lips.
People said that men with thin lips were heartless.
Her father who was once loving suddenly looked ferocious as he pointed at them and shouted heartlessly, “This is not your home anymore. I have Meiling and Yaoyao. Leave!”
Eighteen years old was an age of lush romance. A handsome young man in a white shirt and jeans picked her up from school with his bicycle. She sat behind him and crossed her legs as she enjoyed the ride. She smiled and called, “Brother Junxi…”
Xu Junxi passed by a flower bed and he stopped his bicycle. He then picked up a pink rose and gave it to her. She blushed and accepted the rose. The young man beamed with joy as he said, “Qingqing, I like you, can you be my girlfriend?”
She nodded bashfully.
But it wasn’t as sweet as she expected. The image took a drastic turn and Xu Junxi seized her neck as he looked at her coldly. He screamed uncontrollably, “Give me back my Qingqing!”
…
Ning Qing’s tears flowed as she struggled to shake off Xu Junxi, to free herself of this nightmare. Just as she was suffocating, a palm covered her cold face. There was a man’s deep voice.
“Ning Qing, wake up.”
Ning Qing opened her eyes and her teary eyes met another pair of bright black eyes.
It was a dream.
Lu Shaoming wiped away her tears off her cheek with his thumb. The girl who just woke up was off guard. Her puffy red eyes were looking into his innocently. Her delicate look made people love her tenderly.
He kissed her cheeks and comforted her gently. “You dreamt? Don’t worry. You woke up from your dream. I’m here, don’t cry.”
Ning Qing’s tension relaxed as she saw him. She sniffled in his embrace. In grief, she said with a hoarse voice, “I had a nightmare, I dreamt of…”
Ning Qing suddenly paused and looked at him timidly, “I… Did I talk in my sleep? Did I call someone’s name?”
“Mm, yes…” Lu Shaoming replied with a smile yet didn’t look like he was smiling, “You called for your dad and then, Xu Junxi.”
Ning Qing stiffened.
She was Lu Shaoming’s wife. Calling another man’s name in her dreams would be unbearable to any man.
“I…” Ning Qing wanted to explain but Lu Shaoming suddenly got up and left the bed. There was no emotion in his voice. “I’ll go get a towel for you to wipe your face.”
“Shaoming…” Ning Qing was worried that he would leave. She quickly sat up and hugged his waist from behind.
“Are you angry?”
Lu Shaoming sat by the bed and let her hug him. “Mm, a little.”
Ning Qing was shocked at his reply and she quickly explained, “No, it’s not what you think it was… I bid goodbye with him entirely today but there are some memories that we had for the past few years… I dreamt of him just now and I was upset and melancholy…”
“I can’t control that I would call his name in my dream but he is in the past. Don’t misunderstand me… We are married and I want to be with you…”
Lu Shaoming listened to her quietly and he turned around to wipe her tears, “I know, I didn’t misunderstand you. Don’t overthink. I’m going to get you a towel.”
…
Ning Qing lay down in her blanket. Although he said that he didn’t misunderstand, she was still worried.
When a person is willing to be nice to you without any condition, you must know how to appreciate it. When the other person gives, you must reciprocate the same amount of love and care.
Between husband and wife, suspicion and jealousy are like poison. It was her fault for calling Xu Junxi’s name in her dreams and she had to make it up.
Lu Shaoming returned. It was very comfortable when the wet towel rubbed against her face. It was then that Ning Qing noticed that he was only wearing a towel around his waist and his upper body was bare.
Maybe it was because he just took a shower, his short hair was still wet. Without his elegant jacket, his body was roaring with manly strength and he gave out a rather invasive aura.
Ning Qing stole a glance then looked away, blushing in embarrassment.
“Why aren’t you dressed?” She asked softly.
Lu Shaoming didn’t stop wiping his face and he sounded so carefree. “I want to see if you would blush if you saw me naked.”
“You!” Ning Qing turned around and punched him playfully.
Lu Shaoming caught her hand and his black bright eyes locked on her gaze. “Why? Can’t take a joke? I just finished work and went to shower. Halfway through the shower, I heard you crying and shouting for Xu Junxi. I was busy comforting you, where do I find time to get dressed?”
Ning Qing heard and felt tears well up in her eyes. She hugged the man’s neck and kissed him on his lips. “Shaoming, don’t be angry, okay?”
