Lu Shaoming held her white fingertips. H had a frown on his face as he looked at the wound on her palm. The skin had been grazed, and it had already become a scab. The pink scar was not ugly, but it occupied a large area on her palm, and it made others pity her. It made him think of the moment when she got the injury; it must have been bloody and heart wrenching.
Lu Shaoming lowered his gaze and kissed the scar on her palm, and his eyes were full of pity and warmth as he said, “Does it hurt?”
Ning Qing’s small face was crimson red. His thin lips kissed her palm and it made her soften. She bit down on her pink lips and shook her head coolly. “It doesn’t hurt at all.”
The girl was very obedient, probably because she was afraid that he would take pity on her, so she shook her head very vigorously. She was very foolish and very naïve.
“Did you get hurt anywhere else?” he asked gently.
Ning Qing turned her body around while she knelt. She lifted up her red nightgown and exposed her small waist. “Here. That person kicked me here. When I returned home, I was afraid that my mother would see it, and I did not dare tell her. Every morning I would use a mirror to look at it, and there is still a purple bruise right.”
Lu Shaoming looked to the direction where her fingers were pointing. There was an eye catching greenish purple bruise on her back, and it was the result of that person kicking her.
He heard that pregnant woman say that at that moment, she was not able to get up because of the immense pain.
Lu Shaoming stretched out his fingers to touch her waist. She knelt down on the side of the bed, and the moment his body went near to her, she fell into his embrace. He kissed her small snow white earlobes lightly and said, “Ning Qing, do you want me to kiss this area? It will be all okay once I kiss it.”
Ning Qing’s body froze, there was a layer of calluses on his thumb. His fingerprints were very defined, and when he touched her, it made her feel…ticklish.
The girl had a physical reaction due to her inexperience.
“I don’t want to.” She squeezed her small shoulders to avoid his lips, and she rejected him while murmuring.
She did not want him kissing her waist.
Lu Shaoming lifted up his eyebrows and distanced himself slightly away from her. “Then you stay here for a while, I will go buy some medication for you. It will aid in removing the bruises quickly.”
“Ay, Shaoming.” Ning Qing used two of her small white fingers to tug on the corners of his clothes as she said, “It is raining outside, don’t go out. I have medication in my room. I bought it in secret by myself. I will apply it every night.”
This silly girl. She even needed to buy medication secretly, and she was solely afraid of making her family worry.
Lu Shaoming pitied her immensely. “Where is the medication? I will apply it for you.”
Ning Qing bent down and took out a bottle of medication from the drawer of the bed stand, and she placed it into the palm of the man. “This is it.”
She obediently perched herself onto the bed.
Lu Shaoming sat by the side of her bed and opened the medication bottle, applying the medication for her.
Her tiny waist was really beautiful. It was like a gentle and tiny opening of a blue and white porcelain vase, and the skin in his palm was supple and smooth. It felt the same as last night.
“Does it hurt?”
“It doesn’t hurt.”
The man’s actions were very gentle. Ning Qing opened her eyes up into a crack, and it was so comfortable that she felt she was about to drift into a slumber.
She also did not know how much later it was when she felt the man place her clothes down while she was in a blur. He whispered softly in her ear and said,” Ning Qing, can I get in your bed?”
Ning Qing was taken aback by his words, and she opened her eyes wide in shock. She looked at the man with her moist eyes.
Lu Shaoming had a frown on his face and said in a tone showing he was willing to discuss, “I will just go on your bed; I won’t sleep with you. Let me hug you, and let us talk.”
For a moment, Ning Qing laughed out loud. He said he wanted to get on her bed, and she still thought…
No wonder when he came out of the shower just now, he stood by her bed. The man was too gentlemanly, and he had a good upbringing. When he arrived in her childhood bedroom, he abided by the rules.
Now that he wanted to go in her bed, he still needed to get her consent first.
Ning Qing pouted her pink lips, and pretended to contemplate for a moment. She then said, “Okay then.” She graciously rolled deeper inside the bed, and made a space for him.
Lu Shaoming lifted the blanket up, and got beside her. He lay on the headboard and stretched out a muscular arm towards her. He looked towards her with a hot gaze. “Come over.”
Come over to sleep in his embrace.
There were matters that he had to handle that night in Finland. He squeezed it out in those 30 minutes. He did not get his fill either time that night as they were in a hurry, and he was only concerned about doing the deed. He had not hugged her properly.
He was not someone who was greedy with that, and he liked the feeling of being together with her even more.
A long and everlasting feeling.
This time, Ning Qing did not act coy, and she curled up her lips to cuddle in the man’s arms. He used the blanket to cover the both of them, and he used one arm to firmly hug her. He lowered his gaze down to kiss her forehead.
Ning Qing’s entire being became soft. Oh, it had been too long since they were like this.
There was still the fragrance that he brought along with him after a shower. It was mixed with his masculine and mesmerizing scent that he had on himself, and her father’s grey shirt was a little big on him. He had left 3 buttons unbuttoned, and from her line of vision, she could see all of his tough and toned muscles that were of a healthy colour, and when he used one arm to hug her, it was full of strength and energy.
Ning Qing was a little drunk. She was tortured both physically and mentally over the past few days, and she felt so uncomfortable until she thought she was going to die soon.
Now that she was in a dream again, she went into his embrace once more.
Ning Qing used one small hand to slowly inch her way up to his handsome face. She caressed his mesmerizing sideburns, and she said gently to him, “Shaoming, I have also thought through it these past few days. You were so cold towards me in Finland; it was probably because the mission you were on was very dangerous, and hence you did not want me to meet with danger. You didn’t want to put me in danger, but you could drag Zhou Zhilei into danger? it was obviously me who was the most intimate person to you. Actually, I am not afraid of danger, and I also can go through thick and thin together with you. Don’t be together with another woman. As long as I can be together with you, I am even willing to die for you.”
Lu Shaoming lowered his gaze and kissed her red lips, “You are not allowed to talk about death. How would I bear for you to die? I made a mistake, I would not be together with another woman in the future. Even if the matter is ultimately dangerous, we can go through it together with one another.”
“Okay, Shaoming is so great.” Ning Qing gave a sweet smile and lifted her head up to accept his kiss.
Actually men were all weird creatures. There were many times that they needed a woman’s gentleness and pampering. They had been in a cold war for an entire week, and he took the initiative to break the ice between them, so she should then soften her stance, go into his embrace and talk about what they did wrong when they had been in the dispute.
There were places that they could improve in, and there were things to avoid in the future.
After all, falling in love was easy, but it was hard to get along with one another.
Ning Qing opened her mouth slightly, and he took the chance to come in. With a large hand, he grabbed her soft waist, and the other was holding the back of her head. He had her in his embrace as he kissed her.
In Ning Qing’s line of vision was the man’s handsome face that was the work of Gods. The sparkling chandelier reflected its rays onto his sexy short hair, and it made it glow in a mesmerising fashion.
She was stepping on the clouds, and she felt as if she were floating. Her tongue was gently hooked by him, and his scent filled her entire mouth.
“Ning Qing, it was not that I did not believe you that day, but at that time, the situation was life threatening. I was the commander in chief. When you wanted me to believe in you, you needed to show both your capabilities and evidence. If you were able to tell me the special points on the pregnant lady, or maybe if you told me that someone planted explosives outside the hotel, then I would’ve let my people check on it. It was something that I could have settled in 2 minutes. You are not allowed to be so stubborn, and you cannot use it as a tool to test whether I believe in you or not.”
Ning Qing half closed her eyes. The man kissed her while he spoke. The mesmerizing hoarseness in his voice… It still had a the sound of water sloshing around, and it made anyone’s face red after listening to it.
Ning Qing used two small hands to tug on his shirt, and she was afraid that she would drown in his warmth.
She did do something wrongly that day. She was also angry. He had vague relations with Zhou Zhilei, and she was jealous of that.
So when she went to the main lobby of the hotel, Zhou Zhilei questioned her and made things difficult for her. She did not use her intelligence she possessed normally, and she only asked him to believe in her without any reason.
At the same time, she also did not feel safe. She did not know if he liked her or not, and she also stubbornly thought that she had already gavin herself to him, so she must be a little more important in his heart compared to Zhou Zhilei.
She desperately needed his approval to determine her worth.
It turned out that he did not mention a single word, but he had already seen through of all her subtle actions.
“I got it, Shaoming.” Ning Qing’s small exquisite face had a red blush on it. She took the lead and kissed him inexperienced like a little kitten.
She used her actions to show that she knew she had made a mistake.
The two of them kissed for a long time before they parted. Ning Qing buried herself under the blankets and placed her small face at the position of his heart, and all she could hear in her ears was the strong and steady beating of his heart. As she listened, she felt satisfied.
Lu Shaoming held onto one of her small hands. He weaved his fingers through hers and interlocked both of their hands together. He used his strong jaw to nudge her full forehead, and he said softly, “Ning Qing, I don’t know why, but from the first time I saw you, my gaze would be attracted to you, and my emotions would be out of control. I have never felt this feeling before; it was very messy and very bad…”
Ning Qing heard his words and froze entirely, he…liked her at first sight?
There was a layer of fog in her eyes. She still thought that he did not feel anything for her.
It turned out that they were both in love with each other.
“Ning Qing, I know that you love a person deeply inside your heart. Actually I am very jealous, and very envious. It is really not that I care about this not being your first time, but I care very much about the presence of that man.
“You probably fell in love with me because of that man, so I am a little…afraid. Therefore when I heard you say that you did not want to run after me anymore, I was in a panic until I chose to say those words, because I was scared that you came to tease me due to a moment of interest. I thought that after you were done teasing me, you would just leave.”
“Ning Qing, can you just love me alone in the future? I would not care about your past in the future. Let us start our relationship well, and let us interact with each other well.”
Ning Qing was moved by him. She was in a blur; could this be counted as him confessing his feelings towards her?
She did not think she would be so lucky in this lifetime of hers, and she would be loved twice by the same man.
Ning Qing cupped his handsome face and kissed him. “Shaoming, I promise you that I would only love you. Can you also fall in love with me quickly? I want you to fall in love with me very very deeply, it would be that kind of deep love that you cannot live without. After you have fallen in love with me, I would give myself, the Ning family, and all of my relatives and friends… I would hand them over to you. Could you protect all of us then?”
“Okay.” Lu Shaoming nodded his head firmly, and brought her into his embrace.
The two of them hugged for a while, and Lu Shaoming let go of her. “Ning Qing, your father and mother should be coming back soon. I need to go back soon/ I will pick you up to bring you to work tomorrow okay?”
He was leaving now?
His last sentence made her heart skip a beat. She and Lu Shaoming did not date, but they had directly headed into married life. From tomorrow onwards, could they also date like an ordinary couple?
Ning Qing’s tiny face blushed red, and she said coyly, “I don’t want you to pick me up to bring me to work because I will get up very early tomorrow. You sleep more tomorrow morning, and let us have dinner together tomorrow instead, okay?”
