My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

Chapter 141: Seen You In My Dreams

Ning Qing went forward and asked, “Older Brother Yunfan, where is Shaoming?”

“Qingqing, you are here.” Mu Yunfan reached out and grabbed Ning Qing’s slender wrist and pulled her to sit beside him. “Now that you’re here, have a drink with me.”

“Brother Yunfan, I don’t want to drink.” Ning Qing only wanted to see Lu Shaoming now.

When the foreigners saw Ning Qing, their eyes gleamed and they asked Mu Yunfan who was the beautiful girl was in fluent English.

Mu Yunfan put his hand around Ning Qing’s shoulder and smiled as he answered, “My girlfriend.”

Ning Qing was shocked, and she quickly pushed aside Mu Yunfan and said in a serious voice, “Older Brother Yunfan, what are you saying? I...”

Mu Yunfan pulled Ning Qing into his arms with great strength. He murmured, “Qingqing, they are my friends. They just asked if there’s a problem with my body since I don’t have a girlfriend and I am 23 years old. They wanted to introduce girls to me. I find it annoying, so help me fend them off.”

“No!” Ning Qing immediately refused. “There are many boys in China who are 23 years old and haven’t found a girlfriend yet. Older Brother Yunfan, just explain it to them.” Ning Qing broke away from Mu Yunfan’s embrace.

Mu Yunfan, however, did not let go and smiled at the foreigners as he said, “My girlfriend is shy.”

This was a bar, where the lights were red, and the alcohol flashed green. It was the most normal place to hug and cuddle. The foreigners were cheering them on, and the people around them also looked at them.

The combination of a handsome man like Mu Yunfan and a beautiful girl like Ning Qing was very eye-catching. Everyone knocked on their cups and cheered for them one after another.

Ning Qing could not escape from Mu Yunfan. Her face turned red with extreme embarrassment. “Older Brother Yunfan, if you continue, I’ll get mad!”

As soon as she said that, a clear and crisp female voice sounded in her ear. “Hey, President Lu, isn’t this your wife Ning Qing?”

Ning Qing raised her eyes through the embrace of Mu Yunfan. Lu Shaoming was wearing a blue vest and standing there while looking like a gentleman. His noble and elegant temperament was incompatible with this place where red and green lights flashed, and he was especially eye-catching.

Behind him stood a few men in suits and leather shoes, but beside him stood a tall and beautiful woman.

The beauty was in a purple sheep wool dress which outlined her beautiful figure. She exuded self-confidence through her gaze, and with her high-heeled shoes, she gave off the aura of a strong woman.

The person who had asked that question was this beautiful woman.

Ning Qing bumped into Lu Shaoming’s dark eyes. His gaze was calm and emotionless.

“President Lu, it’s such a coincidence that we can also meet your girlfriend here, but why is your girlfriend holding such a handsome man? They look very close,” the beautiful woman asked bluntly with a raise of her eyebrows.

One of the foreigners was proficient in Chinese and answered, “This beautiful girl is my friend, Yunfan’s girlfriend.”

Ning Qing’s heart sank and she knew things were bad.

Lu Shaoming was already giving her the cold shoulder, and now, she had caused him to misunderstand again.

Ning Qing felt as if she were sitting on pins and needles. She moved her petite shoulders to throw Mu Yunfan off, but Mu Yunfan’s hand holding her did not budge.

Ning Qing squeezed her little fist in secret.

“Oh, that’s alright. This is my girlfriend’s brother, they are just brother and sister. You probably know him if I introduce him, he is Mu Yunfan, Master Mu,” Lu Shaoming said casually, with a light tone.

“Mu Yunfan? Oh, I remember, so it’s Master Mu. I’ve heard so much about you.” The beautiful woman nodded politely to Mu Yunfan.

Mu Yunfan’s unruly smile showed an arrogant coldness. “Hello.”

“Okay, now that we’ve said hello, let’s go.” Lu Shaoming glanced at Ning Qing with a slight smile and turned away.

The men in suits and leather shoes left with Lu Shaoming. When the beautiful woman left, she took a meaningful look at Ning Qing. “I heard that Master Mu loves Miss Ning very much. Now that I’ve seen it, it’s true indeed. Miss Ning, how lucky you are!”

How could Ning Qing not hear the hidden irony of “lucky” in her words? She felt as if she had been slapped hard.

She had always been open and honest and had seen Mu Yunfan as her brother, but they had looked so bad in the eyes of others.

And Lu Shaoming, who had seen Mu Yunfan and her hugging, did not show any emotions.

She felt that it was ridiculous now that she thought of it. Lu Shaoming had felt jealous because of the smell of Mu Yunfan’s cologne, and she had thought that he was being oversensitive.

Now, he was not sensitive and had given her freedom, she felt that there was something abnormal between her and Mu Yunfan.

Ning Qing looked at the foreigners and said in English, “Sorry, you’ve misunderstood. Mu Yunfan is only my brother. The man just now is my husband.”

After that, Ning Qing looked at Mu Yunfan beside her and said, “Let go!”

This was the first time that Ning Qing looked at him with such distant eyes. Mu Yunfan’s hands let go and Ning Qing stood up and left.

“Qingqing, where are you going? Going to find Lu Shaoming? Young Master Lu didn’t want you to accompany him at all. He already has the beauty next to him is in his arms.”

“Mu Yunfan, you’ve really let me down this time.” Ning Qing strode away and went to find Lu Shaoming in the direction he had left.

...

Watching Ning Qing go, Mu Yunfan snapped his finger and a waiter came over.

The waiter bent down and said, “Master Mu, anything I can help you with?”

“Which room is Young Master Lu in? Add some spice to his water and wine, prepare a beautiful woman for him, and take more pictures.”

“Yes.” The waiter nodded.

Mu Yunfan took a sip of wine and his eyes were clouded with darkness. He had planted a man beside Lu Shaoming, knowing that he would come to the bar at night.

He had called Ning Qing because he wanted to act out that scene just now and drive a wedge between husband and wife.

Even if Ning Qing found Lu Shaoming, it would be useless. He had ordered the waiter to drug Lu Shaoming’s drinks. Later, when he takes Ning Qing away, Lu Shaoming would definitely find another woman to solve his problem.

Ning Qing would divorce Lu Shaoming if he were to cheat in marriage.

He had no choice. Ning Qing has forced him to take this step. Last night’s ruse of self-injury to win her trust had not only failed, but Ning Qing had also resisted his touch, so he must take risks.

...

Ning Qing came to the door of the room, which was half open, with mild white lights inside, unlike the ambiguous colorful lights of other rooms.

There were no beautiful women singing in the room. The men were talking about business.

Ning Qing stood at the door, took out her cell phone and sent a text message to Lu Shaoming. [Hubby, I know I’m wrong. I’m standing at the door now. Can you come out for a minute? ]

Next, to the wall, she heard his cell phone text message ringing – he must have received her message.

Five minutes had passed, but he did not reply.

Ning Qing lowered her gaze, bit her red lip, mustered her courage, and went into the room.

In the box, Lu Shaoming was talking with a boss nearby. The other people were sitting together, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

The beautiful woman sat on the other side of Lu Shaoming.

As soon as she burst in, the people in the room looked up at her.

An unconventional intruder.

Ning Qing endured the awkwardness and gave a gentle smile to the man on the high seat. “Shaoming, didn’t you send me a text message and ask me here? I’m here.”

All the businessmen were clever and quick-witted. Knowing that Ning Qing was Lu Shaoming’s woman, someone quickly laughed and said, “So it’s Miss Ning. Lu Shaoming has been waiting for you for a long time. I haven’t seen you attend any events since you’ve won the title of best actress. Today, we all have to thank Young Master Lu for letting us see the beauty of the best actress.”

“Yes, yes...” Everyone agreed.

Lu Shaoming took off his woolen overcoat and leaned lazily on the sofa. His two long legs were crossed neatly. He swirled the red wine in one hand and looked at Ning Qing with interest.

If he didn’t speak, they could not continue the conversation anymore, especially when Ning Qing was still standing and everybody was sitting.

Those who tried to smooth things out looked at each other and sneaked a glance at Lu Shaoming. They did not know what he was thinking.

This was making Ning Qing feel awkward.

The smile on Ning Qing’s lips did not diminish as she walked towards Lu Shaoming with a graceful figure. She stood directly in front of the beautiful woman and smiled politely. “Please move aside.”

She was going to sit here.

The beautiful woman’s face stiffened and she began to dig at Ning Qing, “Doesn’t Miss Ning need to accompany Older Brother Yunfan outside?”

Ning Qing calmly answered, “But Shaoming said that I could only accompany Older Brother Yunfan for ten minutes. The rest of the time is for him. You don’t know this but President Lu always acts like a bully in private.”

“Ha, Haha.” Her remarks quickly lightened the atmosphere, someone joked, “Miss Ning, nobody does this like you – you’ve shown us how loving you guys are the moment you appeared.”

The beautiful woman had nothing to say. Even though Ning Qing and Mu Yunfan were ambiguous outside, Lu Shaoming remained silent so no one dared to speak out.

And their couple status had been made public. If she stayed any longer, she would be the one losing face.

The beautiful woman stood up and Ning Qing sat beside Lu Shaoming.

“Shaoming.” Ning Qing grabbed his business vest with two fingers and called him softly.

Taking the initiative.

Lu Shaoming looked sideways at her. His deep and wise eyes had seen through all her little tricks. His silence was also another kind of indulgence.

“Can I have a cold drink? Let someone change the drink and bring in a cup of warm juice,” Lu Shaoming said in a low rich voice.

“Yes,” someone said.

“Hey,” Ning Qing stopped the man and gave Lu Shaoming a playful wink as she said. “I want to drink beer. Who comes to the bar, who drinks juice? Shaoming, take a sip.”

Lu Shaoming did not speak.

“Haha, that’s right. Young Master Lu, you just let Miss Ning take a sip. A little sip sometimes won’t hurt her,” others echoed.

“Alright, you can have a little.” Lu Shaoming finally agreed.

He turned around and continued talking with the business people around him.

Lu Shaoming didn’t say much, but it was enough for Ning Qing. Ning Qing turned her eyes to the beautiful woman. There was a hidden message in her eyes – You’re not at my level.

Full of arrogance.

The beauty did not expect this seemingly gentle Ning Qing to instantly change her face. She was so arrogant, and the beauty was quite angry.

“Miss Ning, while the men talk. How about we sing? Let’s compete and see who sings better. We’ll let the machine give us a score.”

Looking at the beautiful woman’s confident eyes, Ning Qing bravely responded, “OK.”

...

Although Lu Shaoming was talking to others, his attention was attracted by Ning Qing.

That beautiful woman was from the public relations industry and was skilled in singing. She could score 99 points in any song. On the contrary, Ning Qing was not good at singing.

But Ning Qing’s voice was clean and clear. With a girl’s natural charm and warmth, she sang an old song by Teresa Teng – “Sweet as Honey”.

She wasn’t the most refined singer, but she sang it with her heart. Her crisp voice was like the song of an oriole in the valley. He singing sounded gentle and ear-pleasing.

Lu Shaoming’s peripheral vision was filled with her focused face. After not seeing her for four days, her face even more tender, her clean and bare face was beautiful even without makeup. The white light shone on her red lips and white teeth, and her eyes were vivid.

Lu Shaoming cleared his throat.

Remembering the text message just now, she had said she was wrong. Wasn’t it too late to acknowledge that she was wrong now?

Ning Qing finished singing and scored 78 points.

Ning Qing blushed and listened to the beautiful woman laughing at her. “Miss Ning, I’ve scored 99 points. Your 78 points are still far below me.”

Ning Qing pouted her pink lips and used her little finger to hold onto Shaoming’s shirt sleeve. “Shaoming, did I sing that badly, I scored 78 points?”

Lu Shaoming looked back at her red lips. She had just drank some beer, and her lips were tender from the liquid on them.

“It’s not bad. But a couple lines were out of tune.”

“What?”

Lu Shaoming handsome body neared her, as his low and rich voice sounded – in my dreams, in my dreams, I’ve seen in my dreams...

Ning Qing’s scalp went numb when she heard him sing. An electric current ran through her limbs, and she felt ablaze.

He... was singing!

What wasn’t this guy good at? He was proficient in various languages, dancing, singing, he could even sing the Golden Songs of the 1990s with an enticingly masculine voice.

Ning Qing recalled the French song he had hummed in her ear that night.

Ning Qing felt weak all over.

“President Lu, I didn’t know that you are also a good singer.” Everyone flattered and praised him. Just then, a waiter came in and poured a glass of red wine. Lu Shaoming drank it all in a gulp.

Ning Qing saw his prominent Adam’s apple bobbing, and he looked enticing like that.

The white sleeves on his arm were not rolled up, his beautiful big palms were long and distinct. His wrist was covered with clean and soft cotton, and he was wearing shiny silver buckles.

Ning Qing averted her gaze in panic and dared not look any more. The man was so exquisite that she was afraid of getting a nosebleed.

Looking sideways, she could see that the beautiful woman was peeking at Lu Shaoming with a red face, an expression of obsession and admiration. Ning Qing almost stamped her feet in anger. This man was too conspicuous, and he still did not know how to control his charm.

This won’t do, she must warn him when they went home. He could only sing to her alone in the future!

Just then, a strong arm crept behind her back where she was leaning against the back of the sofa. “Okay, let’s play by ourselves,” the man next to her said.

Ning Qing’s body trembled and her face was shy, and she didn’t know what he had meant by stretch his arm behind her.

“Alright, let’s play by ourselves while Young Master Lu talks to Miss Ning. Haha.” The people in the room got his intentions and ran to the front to sing. Now only Lu Shaoming and Ning Qing were sitting on the sofa.

Ning Qing felt thirsty. She reached for a drink and put it to her lips.

The man next to her turned his head and went near her snow-white earlobe, and said while laughing, “That’s my cup.”

Ning Qing was embarrassed, but it was awkward to put it down, so she blushed and said boldly, “I can’t drink from your cup? But I want to drink it.”

She took a sip of red wine.

When she was putting down the glass, the man beside her was still staring at her. “Lu Shaoming, what...what are you looking at...”

Her voice became weaker and weaker, just because Lu Shaoming’s dark eyes were staring at her red lips. He was glancing at them wantonly.

He did not kiss her, but Ning Qing seemed to be kissed.
