Ning Qing stunned. S-H-I-T!

She had given her first dance to Ou Luo Xi.

Ning Qing turned around and looked. There were many people standing around Lu Shaoming. Most of them were fathers who were talking to Lu Shaoming. Then, they pointed at their daughters behind them who were bashful and reserved.

Lu Shaoming took a glance at them and they lifted their gaze as their faces flashed a sweet gentle smile.

It looked like the scene where the emperor chose his concubines.

As Ning Qing watched, she got a sudden look from Zhu Rui, who was behind Lu Shaoming. Zhu Rui frowned and beckoned for her to come over quickly.

Ning Qing understood; Lu Shaoming was angry.

The man was waiting for her to coax him. Otherwise, he might really pick someone.

Ning Qing was stomping her foot in distress. How could she be so pathetic? She wanted to tell Ou Luo Xi to look for Xia Xiaofu for her but she couldn’t find where Ou Luo Xi was.

Ning Qing had no choice but to ask another female celebrity to look for Xia Xiaofu as she took a huge stride towards Lu Shaoming.

When she reached him, Ning Qing found it weird. Most of those women were brought over by their fathers and introduced themselves to Lu Shaoming bashfully. However, she was all alone.

She couldn’t be bothered. If she didn’t go over and he wasn’t willing to come over. Did she really want him to go for those women?

But he’s her husband!

Ning Qing closed her eyes and walked all the way to the front of the crowd. It was a little crowded at the front. Her fragile body seemed rather funny as she went through the crowd. “Excuse me, excuse me, let me pass through…” She panted as she squeezed to the front.

Finally, she saw a pair of black shiny leather shoes and a pair of sleek slacks before her…

She lifted her eyes and the man’s solemn sculpted face appeared in her sight. He really looked angry. She couldn’t see through his slender eyes and they were just unfathomable.

“Miss, what is it that you have to talk to Young Master Lu about?” The bunch of people behind her urged her to hurry. They were all there to marry their daughters to him. What was she trying to do? She was so annoying.

In the heat of the moment, Ning Qing didn’t know what to say. She’d already come forward, how could a gentleman like him not invite her to dance?

Ning Qing blinked her beautiful clear eyes and continued to shoot looks at Lu Shaoming.

“Miss, if there’s nothing, I shall make a move first.” Lu Shaoming stood handsomely but he was going to turn around to leave as the man spoke.

“Miss??”

Ning Qing was going to spit blood. Wasn’t he making a big deal of this?

“Hey, wait a minute,” Ning Qing quickly extended both her arms and blocked his way. She couldn’t be bothered with this, and everyone surrounding them gasped. “Then, Young Master Lu, can I have this dance with you?”

“Wow!” It immediately stirred a commotion among the crowd. Where’s the girl from? She’s so outspoken and straightforward.

Lu Shaoming looked at the girl. She puffed up her delicate cheeks and she looked embarrassed. She was staring at him but she was afraid that he might really leave if she continued to stare. Hence, there was a tinge of fragile yet spoiled brilliance in her beautiful rippling eyes as she fixed her gaze on him.

Lu Shaoming looked past her head casually and shifted his glance to the crowd, who were all whispering behind her. The crowd noticed his sharp yet quiet glance and they quickly shut their mouths.

His imposing gaze terrified everyone.

“Miss, why would I want to dance with you? Where is your sincerity when you invite someone else to dance ?” Lu Shaoming smirked as his deep bright eyes shimmered.

Sincerity… When she invites someone to dance?

No! No!

To have a girl to invite him to dance… Only he would do such a thing. Did he think that everyone was as weird as he was?

Ning Qing warned herself to tolerate it. A successful person shouldn’t be bothered by little details. He wanted sincerity, right? Fine, he’ll get it.

Ning Qing bent down. Ning Qing, at 168 cm tall, was already short enough in front of him, who was 185cm. When she bowed, the crowd behind couldn’t even see her when they tiptoed. She mimicked how a gentleman would bow and extended her right hand. “Mister, may I have this dance?”

Three seconds later, her extended hand was grasped by a warm broad hand. The man exerted strength and pulled her towards the dance hall.

His steps were huge and Ning Qing almost had to jog to keep up with him. Many people stared at her along the way. There were looks of envy and admiration. The look on the faces of all the famous women said: “Wow, it works like this?”

Ning Qing saw Xu Junxi and Ning Yao too. Xu Junxi looked extremely gloomy and his face was completely paralyzed, while Ning Yao looked at her in disdain.

Ning Yao extended her hand to receive a man like a princess while Ning Qing extended her hand to invite a man to dance with her. Ning Yao had the means to laugh at her.

It was all the man’s fault!

Ning Qing was really really angry. So, when he stopped, she kicked his legs without much deliberation. “Humph, bad guy!”

It was dead quiet in the hall. Hence, what she said reverberated in every corner of the hall clearly.

Then, everyone looked at her like she was an alien.

Lu Shaoming extended his arm to hold the girl’s soft waist. He looked down with a gentle yet firm gaze, “Why? Don’t you know how to appreciate me after you got me?”

Got him?

Everyone’s facial expression changed when they heard that.

Ning Qing immediately regretted that little tantrum. She usually had proper self-awareness. He was the man in the center of it all, in the midst of his company’s gather, and she’d kicked him…

She lifted her gaze to look at him. It was an apologetic yet anxious gaze. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have kicked you. But you shouldn’t have made a fool out of me.”

There was melodious music playing in the hall. Lu Shaoming put a hand on her shoulder while the other clasped her hand as they danced.

“How dare you? What about the first dance we talked about? Just how happy were you when you danced with Luo Xi? Just how fascinated were you when Luo Xi smiled at you? Huh?”

Ning Qing heard and she quickly pouted to show her ignorance. “Luo Xi is your younger brother so he’s also my younger brother. I was protecting him just now. It was you who was petty.”

The girl’s scattered fringe covered her forehead, and that set off her rounded forehead. Lu Shaoming got closer to her and he rubbed his cheeks against her forehead. Right as their skin touched, sparks were in the air. She smelled great and she was warm.

“Let it go then. But what are you wearing today? Three days ago, you cried so badly just because I saw your chest. Today, you are revealing your entire back. Who are you trying to show off to?”

It wasn’t as though she didn’t know how those perverted men would look at her. They would treat her as though she were naked. She looked so beautiful and she was flaunting it. Where did she get this bad habit?

Ning Qing didn’t know that the man was so narrow minded and long winded. She refused to admit defeat and said, “How about you? You dressed up to attract the bees and butterflies. Everyone is trying to present you their with daughters, aren’t you proud?”

The moment she finished, she could feel the hand on her shoulder exert some strength. The man looked at her like he wanted her to stop talking back. “Do you believe that I’d kiss you right now?”

He never once looked at her with such a solemn expression before. Ning Qing was afraid and aggrieved.

No one knew that they’d fight after not seeing each other for a few days.

She looked down and her nose was red. “It’s your company’s banquet tonight. I knew that there would be many beautiful ladies. I don’t want you to look at them. I want to be the most beautiful one and then stand next to you… Don’t talk angrily at me. I don’t like so many women gawking at you. I admit that I’m jealous, I’m upset, I’m out of control… Mm…”

Her lips entwined with another’s.

Lu Shaoming spun and lowered her so she’d be a bit less visible then kissed her slightly.

They were in public. He couldn’t deepen the kiss nor had he intended to really kiss her. But he couldn’t hold himself back after listening what she said.

Silly girl.

Ning Qing was dumbfounded. His lips left hers but he left a refreshing aroma of wine. It lingered on her lips.

“I, I did not talk back.” Ning Qing was feeling light headed.

“I know. It’s just that I feel like kissing you. Wife, I’m normally not so… narrow-minded. Earlier, I was a little jealous, a little upset and kinda lost control. So, I’m sorry. Don’t cry, okay?”

He saw her every movement in the dance hall clearly. The person was Luo Xi. He knew for a fact that there was nothing to worry about, but he couldn’t help but feel jealous when he saw how she looked when she smiled at Luo Xi.

He thought about it and found himself funny. He’s been in the business circle since he was sixteen, yet he had no sexual desire for the past fourteen years. Everything was within his control. He was steady and self controlled.

However, he never thought he would meet such a girl in his life. He couldn’t leave her side nor could he spoil her. He lost his mind and became as impulsive as a monkey. He also developed a little jealousy

Yes, he admitted that the sourness he felt on his chest earlier was jealousy.

There was sweetness that instantly soared up from Ning Qing’s heart. She wondered if everyone else’s wives were like her. Because of his one sentence, she felt like crying then she felt like laughing.

Her emotions changed so quickly. So childish.

“Wife, I want to hug your waist so you can be close to me,” Lu Shaoming slid his hand down from her shoulder. He then slowly held her waist gently.

Ning Qing blushed. Before everyone’s eyes, he didn’t hold back. But she took a step forward as well. She took a step closer to the handsome and manly chest.

He danced really well. He was taught traditionally. Every single footstep he took was graceful; elegance that through his blood and was in his bones. As the two of them danced, the corner of his suit moved against her evening gown. That made her body grow weak.

He satisfied a woman’s desires of a man. How could she not be attracted?

“Wife,” he called her.

“Huh?” There was melodious music in her ears. Ning Qing was leaning in his embrace as she responded willfully.

“Wife,” he called again.

Ning Qing couldn’t help but chuckle in his embrace. There was an eagerness her voice that even she herself didn’t notice. “Why? You’re the good guy but you’re also the bad guy.”

Lu Shaoming frowned, “Tell me, how am I bad?”

Ning Qing made her hand on his shoulder into a fist and punched him. “You made me invite you for a dance and you think you’re a good guy?”

Lu Shaoming pursed his lips and said, “Ning Qing, I’m trying to help you make it to the headlines tomorrow. Can’t you see?”

Ning Qing was at loss for words. Their dance would definitely make the entertainment headlines tomorrow. Ning Qing courageously made an advance for love and danced with Young Master Lu.

“There are many ways to make it to the headlines. Couldn’t you have come over and asked me for a dance? Let me enjoy the treatment of a princess.” Every girl’s criteria for a relationship was the same. These expectations were very common. Ning Qing wasn’t much different in that regard.

“Who told you to provoke me? If you were to have waited for me obediently, I would have asked you to dance.”

“You!” Ning Qing was dying to kick him again. How was he so unreasonable?

Lu Shaoming held her waist and pulled her closed into his embrace. He lowered and spoke into her ears. “There was something earlier that I have to take care of. Wait for me. We’ll go home together. Mm?”

“Mm!” Ning Qing smiled and replied happily.

We’ll go home.

…

After the dance, Ning Qing quickly came out to look for Xia Xiaofu. The female celebrity couldn’t find her and Ning Qing was worried.

The banquet hall was huge and Ning Qing ran for two rounds but she didn’t see her. Something’s weird. Where’s Ou Luo Xi?

Ning Qing stood on the spot and thought. Where would Xiaofu go?

She turned around and ran to a secluded area.

When Ning Qing got to the garden with the water fountain, she heard chiming bell-like laughter.

She ran over and saw Xia Xiaofu took off her heels and was dancing on the cobblestone by the raised flower bed.

She’d tied her light purple skirt and exposed her smooth calves and delicate feet. The water fountain at the raised flower bed was decorated with colorful neon lightings. She was like a little girl when she tiptoed to fill water in her hand.

From Ning Qing’s angle, she could see Xiaofu’s delicate oval face. Her features were filled with innocent happiness. The water beads splashed on her body and she was like a fairy that was taking a shower among the fog.

Ning Qing stopped but didn’t interrupt her.

A talented woman scholar who studies and researches Mandarin like Xia Xiaofu; there must be a poet that lives in her heart. They yearned for freedom and romance, they were acutely sensitive yet high spirited.

Besides her laughter, Ning Qing heard very gentle and soft music. It was as though it had been played with two tea leaves, extremely melodious.

There’s someone?

Ning Qing quickly looked over at the forest which was next to the grassland. Who would it be?

Then, “Xiaofu!” An angry man’s voice was heard. Ou Ze was walking over.

The moment Ou Ze appeared, the music stopped. Xiao Xiaofu’s smile disappeared.

“Xiaofu, what are you doing here?” Ou Ze ran over to grab Xia Xiaofu.

Xia Xiaofu took a step back as it was a conditioned response. She turned around and ran into the forest.

Ning Qing saw that Ou Ze chased after Xiaofu and there were a few bodyguards that followed closely behind. Ou Ze immediately turned around and bellowed, “Turn around! Whoever takes another look, I will make him blind!”

The bodyguards turned around.

Ning Qing then noticed that the dress that Xia Xiaofu was wearing was wet and it exposed her beautiful graceful body. Her dress wasn’t transparent but looking at her exposed smooth white skin, even Ning Qing who was a woman became shy at the sight.

Xia Xiaofu pushed the bush aside. She was disappointed as the branches were. There were only two leaves on the grass.

She bent down to pick up the leaves.

The leaves were still warm. It must be from the temperature of the person’s lips.
