Ning Qing returned to her room and locked the wooden door securely.
She lifted her right hand up to harshly wipe her lips, wanting to remove the feeling of electricity that his rough index fingers had left on them.
Rascal! He dared to stretch his fingers out?
He was always so reckless towards her.
Knock knock knock. The sound of someone knocking on the door rang out. The man’s distinctive deep and charming voice rang out in the air. “Ning Qing, open the door.”
“I won’t open it.”
She needed to open the door when he said so? Who did he think he was?
Ning Qing had fire in her heart, and she said, “Lu Shaoming, go away. I don’t want to see you anymore. I do not owe you anything; my conscience is clear. I used my strength to love you in our marriage. I went to fight for it before. Even though it didn’t work, I would never end up as the one that would regret in the end.
“Lu Shaoming, I would never allow you to bully me again in the future, let’s…”
Divorce.
“Ning Qing!” the man said hurriedly, then went silent for two seconds. He sighed, and his tone was both frustrated and endearing as he said, “The words that you say are like water that is splashed out. You are not allowed to say that word out of your mouth, ever.”
Ning Qing bit her pink bottom lip. Her eyes suddenly became moist. She knew that this man was very bad, but she had pampered him so much to allow such a thing.
This man constantly bullied her time and time again.
And she… was unable to put up a fight.
She was so afraid when she went to England for surgery. The entire word as so alien and dark to her. She fervently wished for him to come and accompany her, but he did not do so.
Even if he did not know that she had gone to England for surgery, she was recuperating in England for an entire month. She disappeared for the whole month, and he did not ask about her or say a single word.
She never hid wherever she went. He was Young Master Lu. He could easily get a hold of her location, but he did not go to England to look for her. Even when they met again, he did not even ask where she had been for the entire month’s time.
She used a long period of time to get used to a life without him. She also made a firm decision that she had to live a better life, but he came to flirt with her again.
He was really bad.
He was also unworthy of her forgiveness.
But at this moment, she was still not willing to let the word divorce escape her mouth. She did not know why she was smitten with him, but she felt that he had already become a habit in her life.
Habits were a scary thing.
Noting that the room was silent, Lu Shaoming’s firm face turned gentle as he relaxed his tone, and he coaxed her softly. “Ning Qing, don’t throw a tantrum with me. I only need some time. It is not for you to decide whether I am capable or not. At that time, you can only decide if you want to be spared.”
His has returned to his original form, Ning Qing snorted coldly. She was not willing to have much interaction with him. “Leave. I am going to bed. I will give you the time that you want, but I also have something to say. I, Ning Qing, am not someone who you, Young Master Lu, can just return to whenever you say so.”
He wanted time, right? She would give it all to him. He could go do whatever rogue things he pleased.
She did not care anymore.
She would lead a good life together with Little Qinwen.
As long as there would be a day where he did not need anymore time and wanted to return back to her side. But, he had hurt her heart. This time, she would not forgive him easily.
Lu Shaoming listened on and lifted his eyebrows. As long as she did not throw a tantrum, act stubbornly towards him, make him feel in pain, soft, and helpless, then could she still bring Little Qin Wen away from the centre of his palm?
“Ning Qing, go and sleep then.”
Ning Qing snorted again. Of course she was going to bed, she could never open the door and allow him to come in to chat.
Nonsense!
Ning Qing turned around and got in bed. She covered herself with the blanket, and closed her eyes.
…
Ning Qing was sleeping soundly, and the sudden sound of lightning shocked her, forcing her to wake up. She quickly opened her eyes, and she could see only darkness.
She froze entirely. She slowly lifted her small hand up and waved her hand around in front of her.
She could not see.
Once again, she could not see.
After she completed surgery in England, her eyes were blindfolded as she walked around. She could only remove the blindfold two weeks later, and during those two weeks, every day felt like a year, and she was very afraid.
She was afraid that when she removed her blindfold, she would still lack her sight, and she would then turn into a blind person.
Once again, she could not see.
She jumped up from the bed and screamed out loud. “Ah!” She then covered her ears with her small hands.
No…
She didn’t want….
At this moment, the wooden door was pushed open. A familiar voice rang out in her ears. “Ning Qing!” She was taken into a warm hug.
Someone held her small head and caressed her hair again and again. “Ning Qing, what is wrong? Did you have a nightmare? Don’t be scared, don’t be scared. I am here.”
That action of caressing her hair made Ning Qing suddenly think of someone.
When she was recuperating in England, she could not see when she was blindfolded. She each and every meal in the hospital. At that time, Jian Han found a medical care worker for her who specifically came to feed her.
The medical worker was a man. Jian Han said that there was a shortage of female medical care workers in the hospital, so they had to settle with a male medical care worker. He was a university student in his 20s, and he was working part time to earn some extra money. He was gentle and caring.
Saying that he was gentle and caring was Ning Qing’s comment about him.
As he fed her, his actions were light and gentle. He would concentrate as he fed her soup. He would wipe the corners of her lips before she asked him to do so. He was probably a university student who liked to be clean. He was a university student who had great taste in life, because he would never allow a drop of soup to drip onto her white hospital gown, and she could feel his gentle and caring character from his way of doing things.
That person was able to make her feel comfortable and at ease.
It was only a pity that he could not speak. He was disabled from birth, so she did not converse with him, but every day before he left, he would caress her hair and comfort her, and that gave her strength.
After that, when she removed her blindfold, she searched for him in the room the moment she opened her eyes, Older Sister Jian said that his vacation had ended. He received his pay and went back to school.
Ning Qing felt a little regret inside her heart.
She could not look at that person’s face personally, and could not say thank you to that him personally.
When a person was ill and at that most frail moment of her life, the warmth that she felt was able to warm her for the rest of her life.
Although that person was working to earn some money, she still wanted to thank him for accompanying her through the toughest time in her life.
Ning Qing froze for a moment. There was a familiar crisp, clear scent on the man’s body. With two hands, she tugged his shirt around his waist. She was shaking as she asked, “Is that Lu Shaoming?”
“Yes, yes.” Lu Shaoming kissed her small face forcefully and said, “What is wrong, babe? Come, tell me what is wrong? Why did you scream? Why is your body so cold? Are you shivering? Don’t be afraid. Let Hubby hug you. I will accompany you forever.”
After seeing the time she was the most frail, his entire being felt extremely painful, so he did not want to see her in pain due to any illness anymore. Otherwise, he would be more afraid than her.
Ning Qing buried her small head into his embrace deeply. She shook her head and did not dare to open her eyes. The tears in her eyes flowed down her face, and she choked up while she sobbed softly, “Lu Shaoming, I…am afraid of the dark. It seems that I can’t see anything now.”
Lu Shaoming heard her words and froze. He stood up and stretched out his hand to press the button on the wall.
“Slap!” The button rang, and the lights did not turn on.
The lights were broken.
Lu Shaoming cursed in his heart. In the darkness, his eyebrows were tightly knitted on his handsome forehead. The little girl in his embrace was like a tiny, hurt monster as she was curled up. She was not at ease.
With both large hands, he lightly cupped her small face. She was crying. Although she was not loud, she sounded so helpless and hopeless. Lu Shaoming bent down to kiss her red lips/ When he kissed her for a while, he placed himself against her soft and fragrant lips as he said, “Babe, try to open your eyes to have a look. The situation is not as bad as you think. You just woke up, and the room is dark. It is normal to not be able to see well. Come, open your eyes. Look at me.”
Ning Qing shook her head. “I…do not dare.”
Lu Shaoming smiled. He held one of her small hands and pasted her small hand on his cheeks as he coaxed her gently. “Babe, don’t be afraid. I am here. Open your eyes to have a look. I am right in front of you. I am right where you can reach once you stretch your arms out.”
His low and gentle voice had a charming tone, and it was able to make others mesmerized.
Ning Qing felt that she was under his love spell. She moved her small hand and caressed his handsome face, then touched his charming sideburns before she slowly opened her eyes.
Her moist eyes were sparkling and bright in the darkness. Lu Shaoming looked at her, and his hoarse voice was a little nervous as he asked, “How is it going?”
Slap! Ning Qing stretched out her hand to slap him.
Lu Shaoming: “…”
Ning Qing pushed his chest away, and tugged her blanket as she curled up towards the bed while putting her guard up. She was extremely angry as she said, “Lu Shaoming, I locked the door. How did you get in? Didn’t you leave already? What do you want to do? Who allowed you to kiss me, damned rascal!?”
Lu Shaoming: “…”
He stood up and placed both of his hands in his pockets. “Ning Qing, I will be leaving then, okay?”
“Go! Leave quickly. If not, I am going to ask someone to come,” Ning Qing said coyly.
Lu Shaoming sighed, then walked to the door. “Okay then, Ning Qing. I am leaving, but before I leave, I will let you in on a secret. The room that you are staying in not clean. Tumours say that there was previously…”
“Ah!” Ning Qing covered her eyes as she curled towards the corner of the wall. Her eyes were still very red, and she glared at the man. “Lu Shaoming, you are doing this on purpose.”
He was scaring her on purpose.
“Of course.” Lu Shaoming nodded his head honestly and said, “I reminded you on purpose. I am doing this purposely for your good.” He opened the door and wanted to go out.
Ning Qing looked at this dark room and quickly said, “Oi, Lu Shaoming, come back!”
Lu Shaoming curled up the corners of his lips and quickly turned around.
The room became quiet again. One person was standing up, and another was sitting down. The two of them looked at one another in the darkness and did not speak.
With both hands, Ning Qing firmly tugged against her blankets. She felt absolutely embarrassed. She really should not stay in such a damned place. “Lu Shaoming…”
“Yeah?” he answered.
“Lu Shaoming…”
“Yeah!?” he answered again.
“Lu Shaoming…”
“Speak!” He was irritated this time.
Ning Qing felt wronged and was shy. She hesitated as she said, “I…I want to pee.”
Lu Shaoming froze. He didn’t expect her to say that.
“Isn’t there a bathroom attached?” he asked gently.
Ning Qing shook her head. “No.”
Lu Shaoming had a frown on his face. “Why are the conditions so bad inside this room?”
Ning Qing was furious. She pouted her lips as she asked instead, “You are still not embarrassed to say it? These are the debts that you owe from when you were outside flirting with others. I am here to call on those debts.”
Lu Shaoming took a few steps forward and stretched out his hand to hold onto her wrist. He took her into his embrace. He laughed softly and said, “Don’t speak nonsense. I’ve only flirted with you in my entire life.”
Ning Qing immediately snorted, thankfully it was dark right now. If not, he would definitely see her crimson-red face.
Suddenly, he picked her entire body up and held her in the air.
“Oi, Lu Shaoming, let me down. I have my own legs. Where are you taking me?”
