Chapter 336

Ning Qing glanced over for a moment. She lowered her gaze and continued to listen to her music.

Meanwhile, the two female classmates continued to chat excitedly. “Ning Qing, Young Master Lu is really so handsome. What is the meaning behind him driving his car beside you?”

“That’s right, Director Ning. You two are out to show off your love again?”

Ning Qing did not react, and she did in fact not know what the man was trying to do.

Two months ago, he was so cold and distant towards her, but now, he purposely wanted to follow her so closely.

Were all men like this? They only knew how to cherish something after losing it?

Ning Qing hated that she could not slap a post-it on his forehead — Player!

The two female classmates saw that Ning Qing was not saying anything, and they started to grow suspicious. “Director Ning, your reaction is so weird. Why are you not bothering with Young Master Lu?”

“That’s right, Director Ning. Could it be that the rumours about the change in your relationship are…true?”

Ning Qing’s heart skipped a beat, and she was furious.

She lifted her hand to take the earpiece out of her right ear. She stretched her hand to open the window and glared at the man who was in the car.

“Lu Shaoming, you…”

“Whoosh!”. The man stepped down on the accelerator, and directly sped away.

Ning Qing, who was left with the image of his trunk in her face: “…”

He was doing this on purpose!

He was definitely doing this on purpose!

He knew that there were people around her, and he also knew that she did not dare ignore him, so he bullied her like this.

Ning Qing scolded him inside her heart a thousand times, and her eyes turned red.

Rascal.

Other than bullying her, what did he know how to do?

At this moment, a ding came from her phone in her bag. She tapped the phone, and she had received a text message.

It was a voice message which her “Hubby,” who had not contact her for a long time, sent using WeChat.

Ning Qing bit her pink bottom lip with her white teeth. She tapped to listen to the voice message angrily, and the man’s deep and soulful voice floated out instantly. “Are you crying?”

Ning Qing: “…” she wanted to stomp her foot in anger.

At this moment, another voice message came in.

She tapped it open.

“Then when you bullied me, why did you not think that I would also shed tears?”

The man’s deep voice had a charming hoarseness to it. He was laughing, and she felt warmth in what she was feeling. Her ears felt soft upon hearing his voice.

He was shameless.

He was super shameless!

If he had the ability to cry, then he should cry for her to see.

She put her phone into her bag. She continued to listen to her songs, but she could not control the corners of her lips from curling up into an arc — that horrible man!

After reaching the Zhou family winery, Ning Qing stepped out of the coach.

Looking at the picturesque scenery in front of her, her eyes lit up.

There were a wide variety of flowers spread upon the vast grass patch. There were attractive red roses dripping with dew, purple lavender, and the sea of dandelion… She was in the middle of an ocean of flowers.

It was also the first time that the other classmates have seen such amazing scenery around them. Everyone was wowed before they dashed over to the sea of flowers.

Ning Qing took her cap off her head, and she walked in the field of dandelions that nearest to her.

She bent down, and plucked a dandelion off the ground. It was like a tiny, fluffy, white cap. It was so soft, clean, and vibrant.

She blew it lightly, and the seeds scattered in mid air like snow.

Ning Qing felt all of her emotions disappear in this moment. Her gaze followed the seeds that were flying around in mid air, and she stretched out her hand to touch it.

At this moment, Tang Xueli and Zhou Zhilei got out of the luxury vehicle. Tang Xueli looked at the small woman standing in the middle of the ocean of flowers, and his eyes darkened.

It was sunset at that moment. The beautiful, mesmerizing rays from the sunset were spewing in her direction. That small woman was dressed in a loose white cotton dress as she stood in the middle of the flower ocean. The warm breeze messed up her curls, and her exquisite features were just like those of an ink painting. She was absolutely beautiful like an angel, and she looked just like a flower fairy.

As a fellow woman herself, Zhou Zhilei was also taken aback. She saw that Tang Xueli was looking at Ning Qing intently and could not help but laugh coldly. “Why, are you interested in her?”

Tang Xueli turned sideways to look at Zhou Zhilei. He stretched out his hand to cup her slim waist as he said, “Ning Qing is so beautiful. Any man would be interested in her, but this wouldn’t affect your position.”

Zhou Zhilei took a step away, avoiding his touch. An evil ray came out of her eyes, and she slowly said, “Sure, I will look for a chance for you to fulfil your dreams.”

Tang Xueli was in a good mood as he said, “She is Mrs. Lu. Are you fulfilling your dream or mine? Lu Shaoming is a cruel person. The reason why he is not taking any action at all is because I have the cure in my hands, Ning Qing is his bottom line. If I touch Ning Qing, would Young Master Lu still let me go?”

“Xueli, you are afraid now?” Zhou Zhilei looked in Ning Qing’s direction and said, “It doesn’t matter whose dream you fulfil. The important thing is the enjoyment from fulfilling that dream. Think about it — the woman who was taught personally by Lu Shaoming. That taste…”

Tang Xueli burst out in laughter and said, “Zhilei, you are understanding me better and better.”

Zhou Zhilei turned around and went in the direction of the villa.

As she turned around, she saw Lu Shaoming while she did so. The man had both of his hands in his pockets, he leaned lazily against the car. The warm breeze made his light blue shirt move with the wind. Both of his long legs were crossed elegantly, and he was handsome and mesmerizing, making anyone unable to tear their gaze away from him.

He was looking at Ning Qing closely, and his focused gaze was warm while he did so.

Zhou Zhilei’s face turned red immediately, and she gazed at him, smitten.

At this moment, someone walked out of the villa, and he stood beside Lu Shaoming. They conversed softly before the person politely gestured his hands to invite him in.

Lu Shaoming looked at Ning Qing again before following that person.

Zhou Zhilei’s heart jumped. That person was her grandfather’s butler.

Has Grandpa returned to T City?

How come she hasn’t received any news about it?

Everyone went into the villa at night. Zhou Zhilei took a bunch of keys from the maid and said, “Everyone, these are the keys to your rooms. Everyone should go back to your own room to take a shower, then come to the dining room to have a meal.”

“Thank you, Director Zhou.” Everyone came forward to receive their keys.

Ning Qing also took a key. She noticed that her key was different, and she asked, “Director Zhou, why is mine different from everyone else’s?”

“Oh.” Zhou Zhilei laughed and said, “We don’t have enough rooms in the villa, so I asked the maid to tidy the store room up, so I will have to short change Miss Ning to stay there tonight.”

Store room?

Ning Qing heard her words, and she lifted her eyebrows up. This Zhou Zhilei was trying to make life difficult for her on purpose.

“Director Zhou, how could you let Ning Qing stay in the storeroom? Ning Qing, I will change rooms with you,” a passionate male classmate came out to say.

Ning Qing shook her head with her eyebrows curved up. “Thank you everyone, but there is no need for that. I can stay there.”

Zhou Zhilei purposely made life difficult for her. She would not give up until she got what she wanted. It was only a room; she was not so fragile.

“Director Zhou, I also have to thank you.” Ning Qing put emphasis on thank you as she spoke.

Zhou Zhilei lifted her eyebrows up as she had a smile on her face. “Okay, I will wish Miss Ning a pleasant trip.”

“Ning Qing, let’s go together.” A few classmates of hers came forward to swarm Ning Qing at this moment.

“Sure, let’s go together.” Ning Qing winked cheekily and carried her small orange bag as she walked together with the group.

Zhou Zhilei looked at Ning Qing, who was popular no matter where she went, and she subtly kneaded her hand into a fist.

…

Ning Qing pushed the door of the store room. It was more dilapidated than previously expected.

The wooden door would creak every time she pushed it. The room was packed with wine bottles. There was a bed by the wall, and it did not have a washroom attached to it.

Ning Qing placed her small backpack on the bed. Although the conditions were sparse here, it was clean and tidy. One person could make do here, but where would she go to take a shower?

Knock knock knock. The sound of someone knocking on the door rang out in the air. Two maids walked in. Both of them were holding buckets of hot water in their hands as they said, “Miss, how are you? We will pour hot water for you. You can take a bath in this wooden tub here.”

Ning Qing glanced over, there was in fact a wooden tub in the room.

“Sure, thank you.” Ning Qing nodded her head.

The helpers walked out, and Ning Qing locked the door. But she felt unsafe as she did so, so she placed an old folding screen she found in the room in the middle, then removed her clothes before bringing her slender, white legs to the tub.

The temperature of the water was perfect, and it was very comfortable.

Ning Qing placed her curls outside of the wooden tub. She lightly placed her small head on the edge of the tub, and she casually used her two small hands to splash the water on herself.

The scene of a beautiful woman taking a bath was lively and eye catching.

Ning Qing soaked for a minute. She planned to get up when she heard a noise in her ears. The wooden door creaked as it was pushed open, and someone walked into the room.

Ning Qing was taken aback, and with her guard up, she asked, “Who is that?”

A deep masculine voice rang out behind her. It was obvious that the person was laughing as he said, “Mrs. Lu.”

Ning Qing’s irises contracted. It actually turned out to be Tang Xueli.

He was also at the winery?

How come she didn’t see him?

She was too careless.

Tang Xueli looked at the petite figure behind the folding screen. The hot steam rose from the wooden tub, and there was a light fragrance of flowers in the air. There were few men who could control themselves in a situation like that, especially with the figure of that woman. He had seen it once in the luxury shop.

It was curvy, and her figure enchanted his soul.

He lifted his heels to walk towards Ning Qing. “Mrs. Lu, are you taking a bath right now? Do you need me to help you?”

Ning Qing was flustered. This room was quite tiny, so he only needed to take a few steps around the folding screen, and he would be able to see her.

Ning Qing was frustrated. The clothes that she had removed were on the bed on one side. She could not reach them at all. There was only a clean towel by her side.

Thankfully, she had the folding screen as a barrier. Although he could see her silhouette, she would not be exposed completely.

Ning Qing laughed coldly. “President Tang, it is not gentlemanly of you to trespass in another person’s room. Aren’t you afraid that Miss Zhou would get angry?”

Ning Qing stood up from the wooden bucket in a flash, and she wrapped the bath towel around herself.

Tang Xueli had already walked to the folding screen. “Mrs Lu, Zhilei is very gracious, but rather, it is you. I heard that your relationship with Young Master Lu has been in a rough patch recently. I am here to comfort you,” he said with a laugh

Pfft!

Shameless!

Noting that he was about to step around the folding screen, Ning Qing used her tender voice to chide him, saying, “Tang Xueli, you better stop right there!”

Tang Xueli stopped in his tracks, and he looked at the petite shadow on the folding screen. He closed his eyes while he took in a breath of the fragrance in the air, before saying with a playful laugh, “Ning Qing, I guarantee that you are definitely the first woman able to make me have a reaction just by calling my name out.”

Ning Qing coolly ignored his dirty words. Her body was wrapped with the bath towel as she cautiously leaned back against the wall. The bath towel could only cover her private parts from her collarbones to her behind. The rest of her skin was exposed. She definitely could not let a man look at her in this state right now.

“Tang Xueli, why are you here? What do you want to do? I am Lu Shaoming’s wife. Did you think of the consequences of having impure thoughts towards me? Lu Shaoming would never forgive you.”

“Hah.” Tang Xueli laughed lightly and said, “Ning Qing, are you using Lu Shaoming’s name to scare me, or are you trying to buy more time for yourself? Tell me. No one will come and save you. I want to see how Lu Shaoming would deal with me. Ning Qing, don’t put up a fight. Let me savour the taste of Mrs. Lu tonight.”
