Ning Qing heard and was not pleased. A while ago, he was against singing and rejected her firmly. She could accept it, but she could not accept that he was not allowing her to eat ice cream.

It was due to her own principles.

Ning Qing stopped in her tracks, and she shook off the man’s hand and pouted her delicate and feminine cheeks as she said, “Hmph! Lu Shaoming, everything you say now is about Little Young Master Lu; I just knew that you only love him but don’t love me anymore.”

The girl’s angry look made Lu Shaoming’s bones soft, and his heart pumped a stream of warmth through his entire body. Suddenly, he wanted to throw her…into bed.

Cruelly squeeze her dry and bully her.

He swallowed his saliva and replied, “Okay, you stay here. I go and buy it for you.”

The man lifted his feet and walked into the ice cream shop.

Ning Qing felt that her heart was happy like a flower in bloom. He hadn’t wanted to accept her in a good mood fooling around with him, so she had to use extreme methods to make him cooperate.



The man came back quickly. He had an ice-cream cone in his hands. Ning Qing’s eyes brightened, and she took into her small hand, then she happily started to eat the ice cream.

Lu Shaoming held onto her small shoulders. He was thinking of the scene where she was eating ice cream alone by the road side while she was crying 3 months ago.

He had originally felt tight and uncomfortable, but now his entire body was in pain.

He turned his gaze downwards, and the girl did not bear to bite the ice cream. She was stretching out her tongue to lick the sides of the ice cream. Her small, cherry-like lips had some on them, and she was very satisfied eating it.

He did not understand why she loved to eat things like that.

“Is it good?” he asked hoarsely.

“It’s good…” The girl did not have time to bother with him, but she was also scared that he would not allow her to eat it again in the future, so she added, “I will eat slowly. I will melt it inside my mouth then swallow it down. Like this, I wouldn’t freeze our little Young Master Lu.”

Lu Shaoming bent down slightly, and his sexy thin lips were at the side of her ears. “Our little Young Master Lu doesn’t like to eat things like this. What about this — after it’s melted, you feed it to me.”

Ning Qing, who was eating the ice cream, froze, and she lifted her gaze and looked into the man’s hot and dark eyes.

He lifted his eyebrows while looking at her and had the vibe of a matured man.

Ning Qing felt her face blush, and she could not help but be displeased at him while she said, “What about you talking about? You are so shameless…”

Lu Shaoming tightened his grip on her shoulders and said, “Ning Qing, I have to go on a business trip tomorrow. I will only be back in a week. The last time was already a month ago; is it appropriate behaviour towards your husband? You are not afraid that I would hold back for too long, and then go looking for other women?”

“You dare!”

“Whether I dare or not depends on Wifey’s performance tonight.” Lu Shaoming was in a good mood, and he held onto the girl’s small hand as they went home.

The man’s steps were huge. Ning Qing, who had been held by him up until this point, was left behind, and she blushed as she stole a glance at his straight and handsome back. She could no longer taste the flavour of the ice cream in her mouth anymore.

This bad man, what was this performance he was talking about?

He was a liar.



Lu Shaoming left for the business trip and Ning Qing went to the Lu villa. The butler passed a thick stack of documents in front of her, and he said, “Madam, this is the names list for invitations to the banquet, the menu for the food, as well as the decorations and designs of the banquet hall. Madam, please make a decision and I will order someone to prepare them.”

Ning Qing felt a little stumped; there was so much.

Only when she really saw the amount of detail going into the banquet did she realize what Lu Dinghua meant as the nitty gritty matters that were so tedious. She needed to decide on every single factor.

“Okay…” Ning Qing put herself into battle mode and she took out her pen and marked 1, 2, 3 on the documents….

The butler was puzzled with her actions and he asked, “Madam, what are you doing now?”

“Oh, I am arranging these documents in the order of urgency. For example, the decorations of the banquet hall can be pushed back for 2 days, and my mission today would be first to confirm the guest list for the invitations. Half a month is enough time for that. Many relatives of the Lu family are overseas, and it would be better to call them earlier to invite them over in order for them to arrange their schedule accordingly.”

The butler nodded his head knowingly. Although this madam was young, she was meticulous and calm when handling matters. She had the poise of a person from an influential family.

“Oh right, butler,” Ning Qing asked while she was busy. “Which wine should we use for the banquet this time?”

“The banquets of the Lu family will always use the wine from the Zhou family.” As he said this, the butler tried to test her. “Of course, if Madam doesn’t want to use the wine from the Zhou family, we can also use other wines.”

“Change? Why do we have to change it? They’re the big shots of winemaking. The Zhou family’s wines are not only famous but also have good taste; it matches our family.”

The old butler saw their Madam’s small delicate little face and smiled even brighter. To achieve great things, one would need to first clearly differentiate between public and private matters. Madam was gracious in this aspect.

“Butler, which brand of red wine from the Zhou’s have we always been using? You give me a bottle for me to bring home to taste it. My mother especially likes to drink red wine.”

“Sure.” The butler agreed.

At this moment, Song Yajing made her way downstairs. She was dressed formally and it looked like she was about to go out.

“Mum.” Ning Qing immediately stood up to greet her, and she smiled heartily and asked, “Mum, where are you going?”

Although Song Yajing did not look to be too happy, her attitude had a 180 degree change from before. She heeded the warnings from Song Jin and would temporarily not do anything to her. She decided to first observe Ning Qing for a period of time before planning her next move.

Furthermore, her son Lu Shaoming had left for a business trip. Ning Qing came here every day. She needed to welcome her with good food and drinks. If she met with any incident at the Lu home, Dinghua and Shaoming would not spare her.

She was not that foolish to lift the stone to hit her own feet again.

The status she had today did not come easy.

“I am going to receive someone. You stay here obediently to settle your own matters,” Song Yajing said stiffly and went out of the door.

Ning Qing looked at her mother in law’s back profile and stuck out her tongue. What was there to be proud of? There would be a day that I would convince you.

Hmph.



Song Yajing came back in the afternoon, and she brought back a young and handsome boy.

The boy was dressed in a white floral t-shirt and ripped jeans, and he had a huge pair of sunglasses on his face. He also had a pair of earphones in his ears. He looked hip and fashionable, and he looked every bit like a pampered son of a wealthy family.

Song Yajing was very enthusiastic towards the boy. “Yingjie, come in quick. This time, you have to stay at auntie’s house for a long time.”

Song Yingjie?

Ning Qing saw the documents before. She knew of Song Yingjie. The Song family had one son and two daughters, Song Jin was the oldest brother and Song Yajing and Song Yashu were sisters. Unfortunately, after Song Yashu got married and met with a difficult pregnancy with Song Yingjie, she lost too much blood while giving birth to him, and she passed on in the process of doing so. Song Yajing had pampered this nephew who lost his mother from birth very much.

“Mum.” Ning Qing walked forward and she looked towards Song Yingjie with a friendly smile as she said, “Yingjie, how are you?”

Song Yingjie took off his sunglasses, and scanned Ning Qing from head to toe before saying, “You are the wife of Brother Shaoming?” The next line he did not say out loud — You are just so normal.

Ning Qing felt her head hurt. He looked to be someone who was hard to be around.

“Okay, don’t stand around anymore. Come, the time for lunch is here. Let’s have lunch.”



The trio sat at the dining table to have their meal. The servants placed a clay pot by Song Yingjie’s side. Ning Qing had a glance, and inside it was vermicelli with duck blood.

The rice in Ning Qing’s mouth instantly became tasteless. She secretly had a glance towards the kitchen, and she actually thought the servants would serve another bowl to her, but in the end, they did not.

Song Yajing said, “Yingjie, the dishes today are all your favourite. Eat more. When you were young, didn’t you especially love to eat vermicelli with duck blood? Aunt specially ordered someone to prepare it for you. The taste is very authentic; you try some.”

Ning Qing looked at the clay pot that was sizzling. There were green vegetables floating on top, fried bean curd and kelp slices… It looked absolutely delicious.

She also wanted to have a bite.

She glanced again at Song Yingjie, he was eating with one earpiece plugged into his ear, and he used his chopsticks to place some rice into his mouth. He looked sloppy and was neither warm nor cold towards Song Yajing, and he did not give a glance at the clay pot.

Ning Qing thought in her heart: Such a waste of natural resources!

Even a pregnant lady like her did not get to enjoy special dishes made for her. If he didn’t want to eat, it could be given to her to eat.

Ning Qing also felt weird about this. The impression that Song Yajing had given her so far was that she was always a strict person who was not easy to get close to, but she was actually so kind towards her own nephew.

But it was to be expected. Looking at the attitude Song Yajing had towards her own older brother Song Jin, it was easy to know she was especially good towards those from her own family.

Since things were like that, couldn’t she treat Lu Shaoming better?

Could there be anyone dearer than her own son?

Ning Qing sighed in her heart.

But she also felt a little relieved. It seemed that Song Yajing still had some conscience within her, and she still had the chance to reform her. Ha.

As Ning Qing was feeling delighted, Song Yingjie who was seated opposite her suddenly lifted his head and said, “Oi!”

Ning Qing froze. She lifted her head up in a daze and pointed towards herself, saying, “You are calling me?”

Song Yingjie rolled his eyes and said, “Is there anyone else around here?”

Ning Qing: “…” She was not called “oi.” He was such a rude kid.

Ning Qing laughed and asked, “Yingjie, what did you call me for?”

“Oh, it is nothing much. Aren’t you famous celebrity Ning Qing? Could you give me some autographs?”

Ning Qing did not have a chance to reply and Song Yajing said with a pampering tone, “Yingjie, you are only 20 now and still in school. Don’t ever follow others and go chasing after stars.”

“Aunt, I am not a fan of Ning Qing, but many of my male friends like Ning Qing. They paste photos of Ning Qing on their dorm walls. The photos they download in their phones are also of her. If they have nothing to do, they will look at pictures of her, and salivate while doing so. They are literally obsessed. They heard that Brother Shaoming’s wife is Ning Qing, and they begged me to get some autographs for them. They also were envious of Brother Shaoming for marrying such a goddess; he is so blissful!”

Ning Qing knew this naughty fellow was doing it on purpose. She watched as her mother-in-law’s expression darkened.

Her mother-in-law was always taking offense that she was working in the entertainment industry. She had allegedly had amorous relationships with different men, and this naughty chap must be here to expose her cons.

Ning Qing graciously placed a smile on her lips and said, “Yingjie, isn’t it just some autographs? It is easy to do. I will sign some for you later. I have 70 million fans now; there are many passionate ones among them. Like the previous time, there was a 4 year old girl who used all of her money in her piggy bank to buy a cute Barbie doll to gift it to me. She still encouraged me, Sister Ning, to not bother about others’ views of me. She had told me that I need to persist being myself, and this small girl had said that everyone on earth had their good and bad points. If someone’s heart was not pure then they would see the entire world as dark and eerie, and as for those impure people, we can only look at them, let them be. Give them freedom and wish them well… Yingjie, what do you think?”

At this moment, the old butler was standing at the side of the dining table. He heard Ning Qing’s words and could not help but smile.

He could hear how Song Yingjie was making life difficult for her, but this Madam was glib with her tongue and with a few sentences, she had made Song Yingjie at a loss for words.
