Chapter 196: Can You Try To Like Me?

After her words came out, the atmosphere was frozen. Oh no.

Her billionaire husband’s handsome face was dark as he looked at her. His thin lips were pursed unhappily. “Hehe, Shaoming.” Ning Qing wanted to add some nuance to the atmosphere, but, “Oof!” The man blocked her lips with his. His kiss was very gentle. His cold, thin lips lightly brushed again her fragrant and soft red lips. He kissed her for a while and his muscular arm picked her up from her waist using her shoulder as leverage. It was as if he were mounting a little girl on his strong shoulders. He was taking care not to make her lean against the wall. He used another hand to slowly block her back against the wall and rubbed her pitifully. “Sorry, is it here that hurts?”

Ning Qing was soft in his embrace in a moment. While the man was kissing her, his voice was hoarse with a touch of sexiness. When they touched, his thick lashes, which were akin to a brush, were brushing against her supple skin. Her entire body was electrified. It turns out, she missed this so much. Two small hands grabbed his shirt in front of his chest. She was on her tiptoes and placed her head comfortably on his broad shoulders while one hand cupped his handsome face as she kissed him.

The girl was very inexperienced. She did not have much technique, but she was taking the lead. Her entire mouth was between his lips, but it did not hurt. Her strength was like a kitten scratching him; the more she scratched him, the itchier it got.

Lu Shaoming shut his eyes and delicately found his way in, and gently hooked his lips on hers. It felt like a slow motion scene in a movie. He performed all the intimacy to its maximum. He was swallowing his saliva and picked up her sweet scent. Ning Qing was soft in his embrace. Kissing him was a pleasure. It was not tiring, but every time she kissed him, it felt like she was sucked of all energy, and she was all soft.

She looked sideways and buried her small blushing face into his neck. “What’s the matter?” he kissed her small face and asked. Why did she not let him kiss her further?

Ning Qing did not dare look at him. She could not tell him that he made her uncomfortable with his kiss. She is a married woman and misses his kiss so much. She wanted more from him, and this kind of desire was very embarrassing.

“Ning Qing!” Xiao Zhou pushed open the door of the private room. The two quickly split apart.

...

Xiao Zhou already knew that Lu Shaoming had already chased away Sun Jun. She actually brought bodyguards to surround the area and was awaiting for Ning Qing’s signal, but she did not think that Lu Shaoming would act first.

“Young Master Lu.” Xiao Zhou addressed him politely.

Lu Shaoming nodded his head, and he walked out of the private room with big strides and stood along the corridor to wait for Ning Qing.

“Ning Qing, Sun Jun ran away already. What should we do next?” Xiao Zhou came to ask for her next task. Ning Qing stepped forward and took out the recording from her phone and passed it to Xiao Zhou. She ordered, “Tomorrow morning, release this recording. I want to see it in the entertainment news.”

“Okay, Sun Jun – this old pervert actually dared to think of taking advantage of you. Tomorrow we will completely defeat him and see him fall from grace. We will enforce justice on behalf of Heaven.” Ning Qing stretched out her hand to touch Xiao Zhou’s head simply. “Enforcing justice on behalf of Heaven is a definite mandate. But you must remember, the key point of this piece of news is not the person Sun Jun, but it is the Oscar judge Sun Jun.”

“What do you mean?”

“The meaning is that I have already decided to participate in the 13th Golden Lightning Drama Awards.”

“Golden Lightning Drama Awards? Ning Qing, this award is not well known to the public. If enter with the stage production, it would be akin to using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.”

“Since we are using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, then we would have a 90% chance of winning. On the contrary, you have also said that if we participate in the Oscar nomination, the chances of winning are around zero. Since that is the case, why not take a step back and be the leader of the pack? The Golden Lightning Drama Awards may be obscure now, but won’t the entertainment news stories tomorrow will return my innocence and make famous Oscar judge Sun Jun want to participate in the Golden Lightning Drama Awards?

“We cannot get an Oscar nomination, but we can coast off its popularity. The Golden Lightning Drama Awards might not have popularity, but it is different now with me, Ning Qing, at the table. I can bring make us win the Golden Lightning Drama Award, and my stage play will go on to peak.”

Lu Shaoming’s two hands were in his pockets and he leaned lazily on the wall. He did not turn to look into the private room but only listened to the girl speak quietly.

She was always so smart, and chose to weigh the pros and cons when she was given a choice. She made a good choice, and she was always very brave, young, and enthusiastic. She knew that the way to survive in the entertainment industry was to climb up through the ranks. She was confident in her work as a director, and when she was speaking, her voice was charming and pleasing to the ear. It was strong and powerful, akin to pearls hitting a jade plate. He was reminded of the way she looked when she was chasing his car on the street. She did not even want her own life anymore, and did not have the cool and calm she had now. She was soft and feeble like a young girl. But when facing relationships, she was inexperienced.

Actually he was not a conservative person. It was natural for a girl to have a past behind her, but he could not accept, he could not accept even a grit of sand to be there. Maybe it was she who approached him with a definitive motive. It made him feel insecure. Also, he felt that she fell in love with a shadow that she found on him, and did not love the man himself now with all her heart. They barely know each other; how could she love him that deeply?

Heh.

Xiao Zhou hit her thigh and shouted in shock, “Oh my god, how did I not think of that? Ning Qing, this was your plan.” Ning Qing nodded her head and said, “Although the Golden Lightning Awards are obscure, the ceremony has a long history behind it. It is endorsed by the country’s Publicity Department and Ministry of Culture as one of the most powerful artistic awards in relation to stage play. Now the celebrities hungry for fame do everything to get an Oscar nomination, but there are some others that love the arts and culture. Xiao Zhou, do you know what to highlight to create a buzz for in the coming days?”

Xiao Zhou immediately nodded her head, her eyes full of admiration, and said, “I know. The someone that you are referring to is you. Haha, Ning Qing, you are so intelligent.” Ning Qing winked her eyes playfully and said, “What would I do if I wasn’t smart? I have directed a stage production. Now, I have to think of a plan to deepen the roots I’ve sowed in the directing world. The next step...”

“What step should we take next?” Xiao Zhou had a strong fighting spirit. Ning Qing did not let her know. She walked to the door and said, “You settle the matters at hand first.”

...

Ning Qing walked out of the private room. The man was still leaning on the wall. She said, “Shaoming, let us return home.”

Return home?

That word made Lu Shaoming’s heart tingle.

He looked at the girl. She was smiling gently, and her eyebrows bent into an arc while she was looking at him. Her beautiful eyes were all his reflection and he was the only man in them. “Okay,” Lu Shaoming murmured, and he lifted his heels to leave. The man walked in front. Ning Qing was behind him, and she looked at her own husband’s suave look. She smiled brightly like a flower. When she lowered her gaze, the man’s palms were by her side.

Ning Qing blushed, she stealthily held out her small hand, and bit by bit, hooked onto his pinkie. His pinky was being held by the woman. Lu Shaoming froze for a while. Her fingers were slim and warm. She held onto him very lightly, and she brought along her hesitation. Their shadows landed on the walls beside him. That small girl was behind him, just like a small student behind her parent after school. She was very youthful, and very cute.

Lu Shaoming did not shake her away.

Ning Qing instantly broke out in a big smile; he did not reject holding hands with her! She then tightly wrapped his pinkie into her soft palm. Yes, they were going home now. Although he was very fierce to her tonight and also made her cry, the relationship between the two had accelerated and improved at lightning speed, and she had taken another big step towards him. It could be considered a step forward that came out of a setback. Hah.

The pair boarded the Bentley. Ning Qing sat in the front passenger seat. Lu Shaoming asked where she was going, and she gave him the address to the Ning villa. They did not speak for the rest of the journey. The car swiftly stopped in front of the Ning villa. Ning Qing unbuckled her safety belt and said, “Shaoming, I will see you later.” Lu Shaoming looked sideways to look at her, his expression on his face was plain, his deep eyes had a thin layer of light, and he nodded his head and said, “Oh.”

Ning Qing pursed her red lips. Her small, soft body neared him suddenly. She hugged his elbow and shook it twice, “Shaoming, don’t you have anything to say to me?” Their faces were near one another. Lu Shaoming’s other hand was on the steering wheel. He looked down to look at her delicate face and still did not speak.

Every time he did not speak, Ning Qing did not know what he was thinking about; today he had kissed her and even allowed her to hold his hand. But he was not willing to communicate with her and remained silent, like she was neither close nor distant. His attitude was difficult to understand, and she did not figure him out.

“Shaoming, I can explain Lin Xuemei’s words to you. I grew up together with Xu Junxi and Mu Yunfan. When I was 18, Xu Junxi confessed to me, at that time, I was too young and agreed to him without thinking clearly. But we broke up on the first date. As for Mu Yunfan, I treated him purely as an older brother, but he liked me. After that, to get a hold of me, he tried all sorts of methods, and died in a car accident.”

“Also.” Ning Qing lowered her gaze and bit down on her red lips and said, “I previously....fell in love with a man...He and I...” Ning Qing still did not know how to word it. She knew she couldn’t hide it for much longer, Song Yajing would definitely use this point against her. Rather than cheating him, she would like to be truthful with him. She would maintain the status quo nonetheless.

“Shaoming, those things are all in the past now. I only love you now. Don’t despise me; I will use all my heart to love you. Shaoming, can you also try to like me?” Lu Shaoming looked at her. He was looking at her eyes quietly from the start, and saw all her emotions under his eyes.

The car was originally quiet. She waited for his answer expectantly, but after 3 full minutes, he had not opened his mouth. The atmosphere was stiff and frozen. Ning Qing’s beautiful eyes had a layer of disappointment and grief. She withdrew from his cool gaze and retreated back to her own seat. She pouted her pink lips and said, upset, “No matter what, I won’t give up on you. Be careful when you drive. See you.” She stretched out her hand to open her car door.

But at this moment, her slim arm was caught by a huge palm. The man laughed lightly and said, “I have yet to reply, and you are leaving already?” The man’s handsome figure came over her. She retreated back into the seat. His large palm held onto the back of her head, and his thin lips landed on her forehead.

“I will consider your suggestion.”

Consider?

That means that there could be a chance then.

Ning Qing was immediately jubilant, she stretched out her small hand to hug his neck and said, “Really? Shaoming, thank you. If only you try to like me, I have confidence that you will fall in love with me. Shaoming, you won’t regret this. You will know in the future that this will have been the best decision that you’ve ever made.”
