“I am not angry.” Lu Shaoming put a fresh gauze bandage on her forehead. Ning Qing’s two pale hands touched his handsome face, and she noticed Zhu Rui in the front was not paying attention. She kissed the side of his lips secretly. “Hubby, I know your heart aches because I’m hurt. You are blaming me for putting myself in danger, but I needed to have a clean break with Mu Yunfan. If not, he would just be a ticking time bomb, exploding any moment.”

Lu Shaoming kept the first aid box and used one hand to bring her into his embrace. “Ning Qing, you needed to make a clean break with Mu Yunfan because the 18 years of kinship that you two shared all this while. But, if not for you, I could have totally made him return to Singapore. He is a ticking time bomb and I could get him out of the way. But because of you, I choose not to do so. ”

Lu Shaoming kissed her hair while saying, “Did you know how afraid I was? Mu Yunfan planted explosives on the road. I knew he would be prepared for it. While you planned to trap him, he was also building his fences around us. I was scared that I wouldn’t be able to come and save you, afraid that you would escape from my life.”

“Mu Yunfan actually dared to bang your head, he still wanted to kiss you in front of me. Ning Qing...” Ning Qing cupped Lu Shaoming’s face and kissed him boldly. She knew, she understood. He was compromising for her.

Her, Mu Yunfan, Yin Shuiling, and Ning Yao, needed to have a conclusion to the matters that had happened 3 years ago, but he did not. He was only dragged into this because of her. She knew that he pitied her. He was jealous but he silently stood by her side to give her support. He let her end the relationship she had with Mu Yunfan with her own hands.

He always understood her; he knew that Mu Yunfan was a wedge in her heart, but he ignored his unhappiness, and could accept what she cared about, and try to love what she loved. This was the man’s interpretation of love, and this was the world’s most delicate and thoroughly noble love. She was gently kissing him with inexperience. Lu Shaoming’s pent up frustrations disappeared suddenly, and he hugged her small waist tightly, wanting to deepen this kiss.

“Ay! Shaoming...” Ning Qing pushed him away with blushing cheeks. She pointed in at Zhu Rui, who was in the front, meaning – there is someone here now. Lu Shaoming frowned slightly. Although he was not willing, he loosened his grip on Ning Qing’s lips. Ning Qing lay weakly in his warm embrace.

“Shao Ming, when Mu Yunfan told me today that he planted explosives, I was frightened to death. I was afraid that you didn’t know, and would step on it unknowingly.” Lu Shaoming had a calm smile on his face, and he did not speak. At this moment, Zhu Rui said with a smile, “Madam, the business world is akin to a battlefield. These years, President has seen all kinds of threats. The politicians are way more sly than these gangsters. This explosive would not frighten President.”

When Ning Qing heard his words, she felt her heart hurt. Thinking about 3 years ago, the scene where she saved him when he fainted, and his abdomen had been stabbed by a knife; it was a terrifying scene. Ning Qing lifted her head and looked at him with gentleness in her eyes. Lu Shaoming knew her feelings. He bent down to kiss her forehead. “Fool, I am now most thankful for those politicians. If they didn’t come to kill me, how would I have met you?”

Ning Qing’s heart felt like it was instantly covered with a layer of sweet honey. Zhu Rui spoke again. “Today, although Madam’s plan was a little bold, it was a good plan that killed two birds with one stone. Mu Yunfan and Ning Yao were entangled together, and would definitely come up with a plan. Furthermore, the matters that happened 3 years ago affected the relationship between four families. Not only could it not be put to a stop, it would get even messier when care was placed into it. Today, Madam placed a quick knife to these possibilities. It was the best outcome for everyone.”

Lu Shaoming patted Ning Qing’s hair lovingly. Yes, his little wife is very smart. In the morning today, she whispered to him in the bathroom. She told him her plans for the day. Mu Yunfan thought he could succeed if he used Xu Junxi as a smokescreen. Ning Qing saw everything clearly in her eyes. Her heart was like a clear mirror. Mu Yunfan wanted to put on a show, Ning Qing would just accompany him to complete the show.

Ning Qing looked at Lu Shaoming, her eyes shining brightly. “Although my plan was plausible, it needed to be approved by Shaoming, only then could it work. Shaoming, thank you for your faith in me.” This morning, he didn’t agree with her plan. He thought it was too risky, but she coaxed and pestered him. She told him to believe in her, and it was only then that he agreed.

He had his trust in her with regards to everything that happened today. She disappeared from the washroom and planted an explosive midway. Zhou Yao was hinting to end it all with a gun, Mu Yunfan wanted to kiss her... He gave her enough confidence and she was learning how to grow up by herself. Facing Ning Qing’s gratitude, Lu Shaoming used his hand to pinch her small face and said, “Don’t thank me, I only want you to not put yourself in danger the next time. That’s all.”

“Okay.” Ning Qing nodded her head and said, “Never again.”

The two were silent for a while, Ning Qing held onto Lu Shaoming’s sleeve and asked softly, “Shaoming, do you believe what Butler Zhou said today?”

“Which are you getting at?”

Ning Qing had suspicion on her face. “Today in the warehouse, Mu Yunfan hit my head. The Brother Yunfan I knew would never lay a hand on me, but now, it is like he is a totally different person, dealing with extreme emotions.”

Lu Shaoming’s eyes darkened. “I asked someone long ago to investigate Mu Yunfan’s whereabouts for these past 3 years. It was just like what Butler Zhou said, there was nothing suspicious. But these things unimportant now. I will order someone to monitor Mu Yunfan. We’ll wait for him to regain consciousness and then ask someone to bring him back to Singapore.”

“Okay.” Ning Qing nodded her head.

...

Two of them went back to Yue Wanqing’s place. Something big happened today. Ning Qing was worried about her own grandma and mother. After entering the condominium, Ning Qing heard an unusual sound coming from the living room. She let Lu Shaoming stay in the foyer, and she went to take a look at the living room.

After looking, she was shocked.

Yue Wanqing had been pinned onto the sofa by Ning Zhenguo. Both of their clothes were already messy. Ning Zhenguo kissed Yun Wanqing, his hands inside her clothes. Yue Wanqing was struggling slightly and pushed him. “Zhenguo, let go.”

“Mum, what are you guys doing?” Upon seeing this scene, Ning Qing was furious. She stared in disbelief and shouted to stop them from continuing.

The duo on the sofa saw Ning Qing return and they speedily separated. Ning Zhenguo stood up and grabbed his belt. Yue Wanqing quickly tidied herself up. They seemed to be in a difficult position.

“Qingqing, Dad is back to visit you guys, don’t be angry, I...” Ning Zhenguo started to explain.

Ning Qing did not want to hear any of his words. “You only know how to come back to visit us. Then where were you all along? Did you forget, when you were fooling around with Li Meiling and kicked my mother out of the house? You forgot about these 3 years you that did not care if I was alive or dead, and was still unwilling to pay for my mum’s medical fees? Now that Li Meiling is in jail, then you think of returning to us? I think that you think of us like a recycling centre.”

“Qingqing, Dad knows that he was wrong then. I was cheated by Li Meiling, I thought it was your mother that pushed your grandma down the stairs. If not, I would not have divorced your mum...I ...”

“Enough! If not you would not have divorced my mum, you still would have planned to have a wife at home, and have a mistress outside the marriage?” Ning Qing did not even want to spare a look at Ning Zhenguo. She pointed at the door and said sternly, “You leave now, leave immediately. Without you, our family has been living happily. Remember that you are my mum’s ex-husband. The next time I see you treating my mom like this, I will call the police!”

“Qingqing...” Ning Zhenguo wanted to speak further but Yue Wanqing pushed him. “Enough, Zhen Guo, don’t speak anymore, please leave.” Ning Zhenguo saw that even Yue Wanqing was also chasing him away. Neither his daughter nor his former wife wanted him. He sighed heavily, lowered his head, and left.

After walking to the foyer, he saw Lu Shaoming. Ning Zhenguo smiled politely. “Young Master Lu.” Lu Shaoming curled his lips, and he politely accepted his greeting. Ning Zhenguo walked out.

“Mum, what exactly happened today? Are you planning to marry Ning Zhenguo again? Has that horrible man hurt both of us not enough? You are still harbouring hope for him?”

Yue Wanqing was very awkward and she stuttered as she tried to explain, “Qingqing, I don’t plan to marry him again, but he is still your father. He only came today to see...”

“What was he trying to see on the sofa? Mum, can we get over Ning Zhenguo already? There are many good men who aren’t him. I can recommend them to Mom. I will not object to you remarrying.”

At this moment, the lights turned on in the living room with a bang! Ning Qing turned her head to look. Her white haired grandma was standing in front of her room. There were tears in Grandma’s eyes.

“Grandma...” Ning Qing knew she was too harsh with her words, Ning Zhenguo did hurt both mother and daughter, but he was also Grandma’s only son.

Ning Qing walked forward, wanting to speak nicely to Grandma, but Grandma closed the door.

“Mom” Yue Wanqing went forward swiftly to the door. She lightly knocked on the door and said, “Mum, don’t be upset, Qingqing has no ill will.”

Grandma’s voice came from inside the room, “I know, I don’t blame Qingqing; it was Ning Zhenguo who committed these acts.” Ning Qing felt bad instantly.

Yue Wanqing turned her head to face Ning Qing, her expression upset. “Qingqing, Grandma is not in a good state now. The doctors have said that maybe she is unable to stay...on ’til the end of the month.”

“What?” It was only a matter of days until the end of the month.

“Qingqing, let me ask you, if...Grandma leaves, would you allow your dad to build a memorial tablet for her? Your dad is the only son of the Ning family.”

Ning Qing, “...”

“Qingqing, don’t talk about introducing me to other men in the future. You think that I don’t know? I had an operation for kidney disease; I probably have only 2 years left. I know that you look down on your mum, but what do you want mum to do? I was brought into the family by Grandma when I was 6 to be her future daughter-in-law. I was her daughter in law for 40 years. The Ning family is my entire world. I know you cannot forgive your father. I will not be together with him, and so you can be at peace with that.” After Yun Wanqing finished her speech, she left for her own room.

Ning Qing felt like her heart was at the bottom of a valley. Thinking about Grandma and mum leaving her someday, she was upset. Tears flowed from her eyes. She knew her words hurt both Grandma and Mom’s hearts, but she was not wrong. That horrible man, Ning Zhenguo, was not worthy of her and her mum’s forgiveness. He was not worthy.

She felt wronged.

“Crying again?” Lu Shaoming stepped forward and cupped her shoulder gently. Ning Qing hugged Lu Shaoming tightly and buried her face into his collar. Lu Shaoming smiled and picked her up, bringing her to the room.

Ning Qing was placed on the soft bed. Lu Shaoming was on the bed. His handsome back lay at the head of the bed, and he took her soft body tightly into his embrace.

“Ning Qing, I know you feel wronged. Ning Zhenguo was too cruel towards you and your mother, and he hurt your heart. You don’t consider him as your dad anymore right?”

“Yeah” Ning Qing nodded her head. She was pouting her pink lips. Her pale hands exploring the space under his coat, feeling his warmth.

Lu Shaoming kissed her face in a pampering way. “You are not wrong. In your perception, there is only black and white, but Grandma and Mom are also not wrong; you should put yourself in their shoes and think from their perspective.

“Grandma doesn’t have much time left. Ning Zhenguo is her only son, do you actually want Grandma to cut ties with him, and have nobody there to send her off? Mum’s character is warm and kind. It is hard for her to hate a person. What’s more, she was brought into the Ning family by Grandma as a future daughter in law, and Grandma treated her like her own daughter. She also only 6 when she knew that Ning Zhenguo would be her entire world. She lived in such a small world, you can be angry at her, but you cannot change her.

“Also, Ning Qing why do you want to change Mum? She is not wrong, everyone has their own choices to make, and it will be alright as long as she is happy.”

Ning Qing was still not happy. Sulking, she said, “But, Ning Zhenguo...”

“Ning Qing, don’t think too much. Mum did not say she would forgive him immediately. These few months, Ning Zhenguo has been coming daily. Both him and Mom have been developing rather slowly. That shows that Mom is also testing him.”

“Okay” Ning Qing felt better after he comforted her, but she still felt something was off.

“Shaoming, why did I not know that Ning Zhenguo was coming over every day? Why didn’t you tell me about this? If you had told me earlier, I...”

“If I told you earlier, would things end up this way?” Lu Shaoming bent and pecked her lips gently.

“Let mum decide on her own matters, don’t worry, I will monitor the situation for you. Ning Zhenguo is only 45 this year, if he wants to play with women, there are many in the company for him to do so with. He has sincerity and feelings for Mum.” action

Ning Qing wanted to speak further, but the man took the chance when she opened her mouth to attack. Ning Qing felt her body crumble, softly collapsing into his embrace. She had no time to think, and all her senses were filled with his crisp and clear scent. After he kissed her while she was in a trance, he threw her onto the bed.

Her delicate face was adjusted by his large palm. “Wifey, don’t worry, let me take care of the matters at home. Nobody will dare to bully your Mom and you. With me here, matters regarding Ning Zhenguo, you can relax about him. He was the man who Mum picked. If he is not suitable then we will take care of it.”

Ning Qing felt her heart go soft. He had patiently comforted her for so long. Actually, this wild man could not even be bothered by this minor matter. It was because in his perspective, it was Mum who was picking a man now. Ning Zhenguo was just one of them. Kissing in this position made her dizzy. She used her small hand to push his strong waist.

“Hubby, it feels so uncomfortable in the position. I want to lay down.”

“No way, stay like this.” Ning Qing heard the sound of a belt being unbuckled by her ears.

Ning Qing felt blood rush into her small face instantly. She struggled for a while then she gave up struggling, one of her small hands gripped tightly onto the bedsheet, one hand turned off the light.

“Hubby, I’m still worried about Shuiling, what do you think happened to her?”

“What would happen to her? It would be either Yin Muchen or another man. When Yin Shuiling was kidnapped, I didn’t inform Yin Muchen, but Yin Muchen was only later than me by one step. He cares too much about this sister of his, it will be hard for him to let go.”
