Lu Shaoming ended the phone call, and at this moment, there was a bang! Someone was banging on the door.

 “Young Master Lu, you better come out, I think we need to have a conversation between us. What are you plotting exactly? You are willing to die for a woman. It is okay if you die, but you hand over the documents that you have in your hands. I will go and investigate those villagers…”

 A bodyguard came forward to stop her, “Miss Leng, our President is resting in his room. Please do not disturb him…”

 He had not finished his words, and there was a shriek. “Ah!” There was the sound of a scuffle outside the door.

 A messy fight was going on outside the door, and one bodyguard rolled down the staircase. He could hear the sound of porcelain falling onto the ground…

 Zhou Dayuan lifted his eyebrows while being a delighted mood. he said, “Shaoming, if this Miss Leng continues to be like this, she will probably destroy your entire villa. Towards a woman who is a secret service agent, there is no use using words. You have to show her what you can do and go tackle her in a fight. If you manage to win, then she would finally be willing to listen to you.”

 Lu Shaoming glanced at him sideways and said, “Then why are you not going?”

 “I am an educated individual; I cannot beat her. Shaoming, could it be that you also cannot beat her?”

 As for his good buddy’s teasing, Lu Shaoming did not take it to heart. He immediately searched for a number in his phone and made a call. “Hello, Second Younger Brother, I have met with some trouble; can you hurry over?”

 Lu Shaoming ended the call.

 Zhou Dayuan laughed. “It seems like you really cannot win a fight with this woman,” he said with certainty.

 Lu Shaoming stood up calmly, and a bodyguard ran in his direction among the mess outside and closed the door. He gave the documents in his hands over to Lu Shaoming. “President, this is the latest news. Zhou Zhilei’s boyfriend, Tang Xueli, is the second son of the Tang family. The old president of the Tang Corporation… The companies under his hands are engaged in copious amounts of trading under the table. He has created casinos and is involved in drug trade, together with money laundering. We have found the latest weaponry that he has imported into the country recently, and it was what those villagers were using.

 Lu Shaoming received the documents, and he slowly curled up the corners of his lips. “Zhou Zhilei,” he softly read out loud.

 …

 Ning Qing slept on the bed for four days, and her fever finally subsided.

 Yin Shuiling bid farewell to her due to a problem with the publication at the Japanese anime firm, and she flew to Japan.

 These past few days, Ning Qing obediently lay on the bed, and the only activity she did was to carry Little Young Master Lu to walk two rounds. Little Young Master Lu was already chubby and fair at 3 months. His big, bright shimmering eyes that resembled grapes were glistening. Ning Qing carried the little guy in her arms, and as he had a whiff of his mother’s soft fragrance, he gurgled in laughter.

 Every time he did so, Ning Qing would be very satisfied.

 But over these four days, Lu Shaoming did not return, and there was no news of him.

 Ning Qing came to the dining room to have breakfast, and both Lu Dinghua and Song Yajing were present, and the maid was holding Little Young Master Lu and playing with him.

 “Qingqing, this is the porridge that mum asked someone to prepare for you specially. Mum had a taste just now, and it tasted the same as what Miss Yin had prepared for you. Have more of it, and fatten yourself up.”

 “Thank you, Mum.” Ning Qing used a small spoon to try a mouthful of porridge.

 “Dad, Mum, Little Young Master Lu is almost 100 days old. Shaoming was not here, so we did not hold a one month celebration. Now that Shaoming is back, let us organize a 100 day celebration for him then. Little Young Master Lu has also not seen his own father for a long time, and he misses his father.”

 Ning Qing did not know how Lu Shaoming felt now, She went to look for him and beg him, but his attitude was very firm. Shuiling said that men would get worse being pampered, and she had asked her to ignore him for a few days. She was also, in fact, hurt by him, and she did not take the initiative to contact him these past four days.

 But he also did not contact her.

 She was very flustered. She did not know what he wanted to do exactly. Did he really plan to live separately from her forever. He didn’t want her anymore?

 She wanted to salve the strained relationship between them using this 100 days celebration. After all, Little Young Master Lu is his son.

 “This…” Song Yajing was put on the spot. If they held a 100 day celebration, that meant that Shaoming would have to have contact with Ning Qing, but Shaoming’s health…

 Ning Qing did not detect Song Yajing’s attitude, because she had gone through thick and thin, and she was already family with all of them. On this matter regarding Lu Shaoming, they would definitely support her, and they’d want her to live a happy life together with Lu Shaoming.

 Ning Qing channeled her gaze down and had a mouthful of porridge. Her small face was a little red as she said, “Dad, Mum, Shaoming has not returned for many days. Could you two give him a call? I believe that he would listen to you.”

 “Ning Qing.” Lu Dinghua did not bear to do so in his heart, but with Shaoming’s condition now, he could not see his son die, and he could only say, “Shaoming is quite busy right now. Your body is also weak. I think we should forget about the 100 day celebration, and you should just focus on taking care of Little Young Master Lu.”

 After hearing his words, Ning Qing’s hand that was holding onto the small spoon froze, and she lifted her eyes to look at Lu Dinghua in a daze. “Dad…”

 “Qingqing.” Song Yajing felt that they were not treating their daughter-in-law too well, and she smiled stiffly. “Qingqing, forget it. Allow Shaoming some space for a period of time. Mum can guarantee that Shao Ming would not commit any wrong. If he dares to do anything wrong, I will not see him as my son anymore. But Shaoming has been really very busy recently. Let us focus on Little Young Master Lu, and we will not bother Lu Shaoming…”

 Bother?

 Ning Qing felt that she must have somehow walked into an alternate universe. She was Lu Shaoming’s wife, and now her man wanted to live separately from her, and her stopping him from doing so was a “bother?”

 Also that woman who pushed her that day and said, “I only want you to distance yourself from Lu Shaoming.” She said it so bodly and naturally, just like she was being a mistress, and Lu Shaoming being together with her was his misfortune.

 “Mum…” Ning Qing’s eyes looked dazed as she looked at Song Yajing. “Even you are saying this?”

 Song Yajing did not dare to look at Ning Qing’s hurt eyes, and she ducked her head in shame.

 The atmosphere at the dining table became cold, and the three of them were frozen on the spot.

 Ning Qing placed her spoon down and stood up. “Dad, Mum, you two enjoy your meal. I’m going to my room.”

 Seeing Ning Qing turned to leave. Song Yajing quickly said “Qingqing, you have yet to finish your porridge…”

 “Yajing!” Lu Dinghua called out to Song Yajing.

 Ning Qing’s footsteps stalled, and she ran upstairs quickly.

 …

 Returning to the bedroom, Ning Qing sat at the edge of the bed, and her brain was empty. She did not want to think about anything, but the tip of her nose was very sour, and she was tempted to tear up.

 She lifted her gaze and coaxed the tears back into her eyes. She stood up, went to the side of the closet, and took out a set of clothes.

 She had not gone to the hospital to see her mother for a few days.

 …

 In the hospital

 Ning Qing stood at the door of the hospital ward. Yue Wanqing was lying on the bed in the ward, and Jian Han sat on the chair to chat with her. “Aunt, your complexion has been getting better recently.”

 “Doctor Jian, I really have to thank you. If not for you finding a good doctor for me and coming to accompany and chat with me every day to reduce my boredom, I would not have recovered so quickly.”

 “What are you saying, Aunt? You are too polite. Ning Qing and I are good friends. This is simply what I can do with my abilities, and furthermore, aunt is only 45 this year. With a single look at you, I can tell you will live until 100.”

 Yue Wanqing smiled and said, “Okay, I will accept Doctor Jian’s good words.” At this moment, she saw Ning Qing standing by the door, and she happily said, “Qingqing, you are here!”

 “Mum, Older Sister Jian.” Ning Qing walked into the hospital ward and had a sweet smile on her face. “I saw you two chatting so happily, and I didn’t bear to interrupt you two.”

 Jian Han curled up the corners of her lips, and said, “Ning Qing, I will let you in on the good news. Aunt can be discharged tonight!”

 “Really?” Ning Qing’s eyes were shining bright.

“Yes, Aunt’s illness has stabilized. The professor said that Aunt’s illness is not serious. She only needs to cooperate with his medication and therapy, and she will at least live to 80 years of age.”

 Ning Qing stretched both her hands out to embrace Jian Han, then coyly said, “Older Sister Jian, this is great news. If I didn’t have you, I don’t know what I would have done!.”

 Jian Han stretched out her hand to caress Ning Qing’s locks, and she pretended to be angry as she said, “Ning Qing, if you are so polite with me, then it would not be right!”

 Ning Qing let go of her and winked her eyes cheekily. “Sure, Older Sister Jian, then I will not be polite with you.”

 The two broke out into laughter.

 At this moment, Yue Wanqing said, “Qingqing, didn’t you say that Shaoming came back a few days ago when you called? Although you said that he was not injured, I am still worried. I will be discharged tonight. Give him a call and ask him over. Mum will prepare a table of dishes, and we will reunite properly. Also, Little Young Master Lu… I have not seen my grandson for so long.”

 After she mentioned Lu Shaoming, there was a deep loneliness in the bottom of Ning Qing’s eyes, but she quickly put on a smile. “Mum, Shaoming has been very busy recently. You understand. He has been away for such a long period of time. He has a load of matters to attend to. What about this: He will come over when he is free.”

“Sure, a man’s work is more important.” Yue Wanqing nodded her head in agreement.

 …

 Jian Han went back to work, and Ning Qing walked to the foot of the stairwell, then took out her phone to make a call.

 The ringtone on the other end rang once and someone picked up. “Hello…” The low and charming voice made her ears numb.

 Ning Qing held the phone in one hand and lowered her gaze to look at her foot. She pursed her red lips and was not willing to speak.

 The other end went silent for 10 seconds, and he then said, “Ning Qing, what is wrong?”

 His voice was very gentle, and it was gentle enough that it made her remember all her grievances.

 “My mother asked you come home for dinner tonight. Are you coming?” She bit down on her pink lip and her voice was hard but gentle.

 It was silence again on the other end, and the time that elapsed felt like half a century. He graciously replied, “I have to work tonight; I don’t have time.”

 Ning Qing laughed. As she laughed she could not control the tears streaming down her face. She held her small hand tightly into a fist and brought it to her lips and bit on it lightly. “Okay.” She tried not to let him hear her crying voice, and continued, “My Mum is hospitalized. She has been in the hospital for two weeks, and she is very worried about you. Couldn’t you just come over to visit her?”

He did not respond, and it was so quiet that she suspected that he was not listening to the phone.

 “Just visit her for a while. Don’t worry, I will not pester you. Lu Shaoming, I will wait for you in the hospital.” She ended the call.

 …

 Ning Qing waited for a long time, and it was already noon.

 She did not believe that he would not come.

 Yue Wanqing fell asleep, and she sat on the chair to flip through magazines. She did not actually read them. Suddenly, she heard the sound of footsteps ring in her ears; someone was coming towards the hospital ward.

 Her heartbeat sped up immediately, and she lifted her gaze. It was hard for her to contain her surprise and joy. “Shao Ming, you are here?”
