“Help me? How can you help?” Ning Qing’s tender autumn colored eyes blinked as she asked seriously.

Lu Shaoming saw that she was as innocent as a blank piece of paper, and his Adam’s apple bobbed again. He bent over and bit her ear. “I’ll go in and help you test...that membrane.”

Ning Qing’s small face burned, it was redder than when she had a high fever. “You...”

Only a fool couldn’t understand what he was saying.

Ning Qing lifted her little pink fist and punched him heavily in the chest. She turned around and lay on the bed with pouty pink lips. Hmph, she’s going to ignore him!

Knowing that she was shy, Lu Shaoming grasped her small shoulder and forced her to face him. He coaxed softly, “Oh, my dear, I will not hurt you. I’ll be gentle. I’ll test it with my finger, and you will know the answer after that.”

He slid his big palm down as he spoke to her.

“No!” Ning Qing struggled furiously, she pressed his dangerous palm down and shook her head in horror. “Shaoming, no, please. Even if I don’t have it, don’t test it. Give me some dignity.”

If she was still a virgin, then everything would turn out well.

But the chance of this was too slim.

If he found out that her virginity had been taken, then how would she face him in the future?

Lu Shaoming saw that the girl’s face was pale. He knew that she could not pass the barrier in her heart. She wanted to give him a complete and clean body.

“But...”

“No buts, I’ll go to the hospital tomorrow for a check-up. Shaoming, forget it tonight. I’ll tell you whatever the result is tomorrow.”

Afraid that he would disagree, Ning Qing hooked her arms around his neck and kissed him eagerly.

Lu Shaoming did not insist anymore. A big palm gently touched the bangs in front of her forehead, and he raised his eyebrows and said to her, “Fool, why didn’t you have it checked three years ago? There is always evidence left behind. Have you forgotten your dirty little panties at the Ning family house?”

Ning Qing had not really come into contact with these things in her life, and now hearing him speak so bluntly about this, she felt so shy she wanted the ground to swallow her up.

Reaching out and touching his eyes, she pouted and said, “Close your eyes, don’t talk, just kiss me.”

...

The next morning. action

Ning Qing felt refreshed when she opened her eyes. She slept in the man’s arms the entire night. She felt as warm as if she had been wandering in the sunshine, and she had strength all over.

She sat up slowly and saw that Lu Shaoming had gotten up.

Looking at the clock. It was 8 in the morning.

Ning Qing’s fair fingertips caressed the pillow that the man had slept on. Her heart ached for a while. Last night, she had a high fever and he had taken care of her personally and had slept very late. She had seen his tired, bloodshot eyes. He was already busy with his work and she had caused more trouble for him.

She wasn’t a good wife.

Just when she was thinking, the door was pushed open. Lu Shaoming walked in wearing a white shirt and black pants.

He had regained his elegant and handsome appearance and gotten rid of his fatigue. His sculpted and handsome face was radiant and brilliant.

That guy sure could rally.

He held a cup of warm water in his hand. His eyes full of tenderness as he said. “I guessed that you were awake. Are you thirsty? Come and have a glass of water.”

Lu Shaoming stood upright with one hand in his trousers pocket and handed her the cup.

Ning Qing blushed slightly, knowing that men differ between day and night. But her heart started beating wildly when she remembering how he had hugged her in his arms and fed her noodles by hand and medicine by mouth last night.

Lu Shaoming looked at her tiny, fair, flushed earlobes and laughed as he said in a low voice, “What are you thinking of early in the morning? I haven’t done anything yet, but your face is already red.”

Ning Qing was embarrassed and threw the empty cup at him. “Your mind is too impure. Are you thinking about something or am I thinking about something? I just woke up and feel a little hot.”

“Really?” Lu Shaoming placed the cup on the counter, but he did not call her out. He just sat on the bed, reached out, and pinched her tender little face. “It seems that you’ve recovered well since you know how to reply! I’ll go to the company then. You rest at home in the morning and I’ll send someone to take you to the doctor’s office in the afternoon.”

Ning Qing understood Lu Shaoming’s meaning. He must have wanted to take action in the morning.

Ning Qing opened her mouth but eventually asked nothing. This man could be trusted 200 percent.

That was good as well. He would fight for her, and when he paved the way for her, then she would fight her battle.

She won’t wait to die. What was the truth regarding what had happened three years ago? She would uncover it!

“Ok, I’ll wait until the afternoon, but Shaoming, Shuiling is my good friend, I owe her, please don’t drag her in!”

Lu Shaoming raised his eyebrows and said, “Ning Qing, do you think that Yin Shuiling hated you this whole time?”

Ning Qing’s face was gloomy, her family had been broken. How could Shuiling not hate her?

“I had never thought to involve Yin Shuiling, but do you think the media will let her go? Let me show you a video.” Lu Shaoming handed his black cell phone to Ning Qing.

Ning Qing’s face changed greatly after she looked at it.

In the video, a huge group of reporters had gathered and blocked Yin Shuiling at the school gate.

“Miss Ying, would you please say something about what happened three years ago?”

Yin Shuiling was surrounded by so many people, but she did not panic. She raised her willowy eyebrows and asked them coldly, “What do you want me to say?”

“Miss Ying, last night someone had accused Ning Qing of destroying your family three years ago. Have you always hated her?”

Ning Qing’s heart clenched and her palms were sweating. She didn’t know what Yin Shuiling would answer.

Yin Shuiling wore a jewel-blue woolen overcoat with a white T-shirt and cropped trousers today, with a pair of leopard-print sneakers on her feet, a concise and domineering European and American style.

When she heard the statement, she drew up her lips that looked as if she had applied lipstick. Her skin was even fairer against the jewel blue of her overcoat, making her even more beautiful and aloof. “Hate her? My mother died of a heart attack. My father landed in jail because of the company’s financial problems. Yin Corporation had collapsed because it had been managed improperly. What has Ning Qing done to make me hate her?”

“Um...” The media were speechless, a quick-witted reporter quickly said, “Miss Ying, have you seen the picture circulating on the Internet this morning? Ning Qing seduced your fiance three years ago!”

“Oh that...the photo. I saw it, but how do I know if it’s genuine or not? Besides, is Mu Yunfan my fiance? Did any of you attend my engagement dinner? You are the only ones who take this childhood engagement seriously.”

“...” The reporters stared at each other. She had made everything clean and clear, and they got nothing of value from this.

“Miss Ying, you’ve denied everything. How did you fall out with Ning Qing three years ago?”

“Oh,” said Yin Shuiling, glancing at the reporter who had asked the question with a pair of beautiful and aloof eyes that overflowed with amusement as she laughed like tinkling bells. “Tell you about what had happened between us sisters?”

“You...”

Yin Shuiling put the sunglasses in her hand on her small face, and her tone was relaxed and lazy. “Is that all? If it is, I’m out of here.”

...

Ning Qing covered her mouth with her small hand as tears welled up in her eyes. Why had Yin Shuiling defended her?

Didn’t she hate her?

Has she forgiven her?

The man caressed her hair. “What are you crying about? Isn’t this something to be happy about? You’ve made great sisters. Every one of Yin Shuiling’s words and sentences helps you.”

“But why? I thought...”

“You think she hates you? You’re actually wrong. You guys have been sisters for 18 years, how could she not believe in your character when I believe in it? Like you, she has a delicate and clear heart and can see through everything clearly.”

“In that case, why did she ignore me? Three years ago, we weren’t like that.”

“You have a barrier in your heart, so does she. Even if she knows that you are innocent, her father had indeed given Mu Yunfan a slap because of you. Whenever she would see you, she would think of the ruin of the Yin family. She couldn’t accept it, so she alienated you.”

Ning Qing held Lu Shaoming tightly and cried sadly, “What should I do then? I really don’t know what to do?”

“Leave everything to time. Time will soothe all worries. Until she’s over it, quietly wait. Your hearts have never wandered far.”

“Mmm.” Ning Qing nodded.

Lu Shaoming wiped her tears and smiled. “Ning Qing, things have come to this stage today. Let me ask you, do you have any more secrets to confess to me?”

Any more secrets?

Under the man’s gentle but sharp words, Ning Qing’s expression stiffened, and her small body twisted about, unsettled and awkward.

Lu Shaoming saw that she was hiding something.

“Don’t want to tell me? Alright then, when something happens next time, don’t come to me.” Lu Shaoming pretended to stand up and leave.

“Hey, Shaoming!” Ning Qing quickly grabbed his big hand and stuttered nervously. “I really don’t have any more secrets, but there’s one thing, I had, had...”

Lu Shaoming coughed heavily and looked serious as he asked. “Had what?”

Ning Qing let go of Lu Shaoming’s hand. She bit her lower lip with her pearly whites. She moved to the bedside as if she had made a great decision. She took out a comic book from the bottom drawer of the bedside cabinet.

Lu Shaoming was a little amused, thinking that this girl was really timid, but his eyes sparkled. Isn’t that the comic book she hadn’t let him see when she had moved from the dormitory?

The boy who lived in her teenage comic book.

Lu Shaoming always thought it was Xu Junxi, but he must have guessed wrong when looking at Ning Qing’s awkward expression. His gaze was a little complicated. She had liked other people too?

“This is really the last little secret I’ve hidden in my heart. I had...I had met a man when I was 18 years old. Ning Qing said as she held back her shyness and gently opened the comic book.

Lu Shaoming took a look and his pupils shrank sharply.

A pencil sketch of a man was on the clean and warm A4 paper, this was a 26, 27-year-old man, with handsome, sculpted features, sharp swordlike brows, a high nose, and a handsome face.

The man was wearing a black woolen overcoat and a thin sweater with a blue V-neck inside. He was lying on the ground with his hand over his abdomen and had been injured.

Lu Shaoming didn’t know whether he should laugh or not. He was familiar with the man in the comic book.

It was him three years ago!

27-year-old Lu Shaoming!

He had always thought that she did not remember him, but hadn’t thought that that encounter had been quietly included in her girly comic book.

When had she thought about him?

She liked him all this time?

“This man...” His voice was a little hoarse.

Ning Qing dared not look at him for fear that he would be angry, but she had to explain, “Three years ago, he had been injured, and I saved him, we had just met once...”

“You drew him just after meeting him once?”

Ning Qing bit her lip, not knowing what to say, “Yes, we’ve really just met once. His appearance is... alright, but of course, he’s not as handsome as hubby.” Ning Qing stretched out her little finger and grabbed his pants, trying to please him. “Shuiling liked drawing since we were kids. I was influenced by her and started to like drawing too. Later, when I went home, I drew him somehow.”

“Mmm, you liked him?”

Ning Qing did not dare to nod her head and emphasized. “He gave me a very special impression, unlike the men I knew.”

Oh, special?

Lu Shaoming gave a light laugh and pinched her tiny jaw with two fingers. “Xu Junxi was your childhood sweetheart for 18 years, weren’t you going to meet him then? Where did you leave Xu Junxi?”

Her dodging autumn pupils met his black eyes. His eyes were so beautiful. They were brighter than the moon in the sky, and a hint of amusement sparkling in his eyes. She was mesmerized by him. She could not help but told the truth, “My love for Xu Junxi...was not enough I guess, or I would not have let go of him so cleanly after his betrayal. There was pain, but there was little reluctance. My love for him then wasn’t even 10% of my love for you now.

“I had been with him for 18 years. Accompaniment had become a habit, but there were no heart-pounding moments. At that time, I was too young to know what love is. My only date with Xu Junxi had been ruined by me anyways. ”

Lu Shaoming rubbed the delicate skin of her jaw with a rough thumb and glanced at the comic book. “You like this person’s eyes?”

In the comic book, he could see that she had drawn very carefully.

His eyes had been carefully copied by her, and it was not difficult for him to imagine the shy and flushed expression on her face at that time.

“Yes.” Ning Qing nodded honestly.

Lu Shaoming was a little amused. Had he changed so much over three years?

She didn’t recognize him even though he was standing in front of her now?

Maybe she never thought that the man she had secretly loved would actually appear in her life and become her husband.

Lu Shaoming wanted to say something when Zhu Rui’s voice rang out outside the door, “President.”

Lu Shaoming let go of her, bent over and kissed her sweet lips. “I’m going to the office, and I’ll come home in the evening. Also, great taste.”

The man left.

Even after Lu Shaoming was gone, Ning Qing could not recover from his “great taste”. Had he... taken the wrong medicine?

He wasn’t angry at all?

Ning Qing closed the comic book and held it in her arms. She suddenly turned her head to look out the door. Why had she suddenly felt that Lu Shaoming’s eyes seemed familiar, much like those of the man in the comic book?

“Mmm.” Ning Qing fell back into the soft bed and covered her small head with the blankets. Did she have a high fever and burn her brain? How could she have such a ridiculous thought?

Ning Qing slowly touched Lu Shaoming’s pillow with her little hand, and then buried her red face in it. His scent was really clean and charming.

It pulled at her heartstrings.

Familiar heartbeat.

It was like the skip of her heart beat three years ago.

Ahhh, that was so embarrassing, how could she be attracted to two men?!
