Chapter 208: Having A Fight
Did she have tears in her eyes?
Did she choke because she retched just now?
Xu Junxi passed a tissue to Ning Qing. “Ning Qing. Are the dishes here not fit for your palate? Should we change to another hotel?” Xu Junxi unintentionally touched Ning Qing’s small hand. He placed her little hand into his palm and said, “Ning Qing, why is your hand so cold?” Lu Shaoming looked at Xu Junxi holding Ning Qing’s hand. His eyes almost had fire spewing out of them. He frowned his brows and tried hard to suppress the feelings in his heart.
At the same time, his strong heart felt a wave of pain. The girl’s pale face made him a little fearful. Was he being too overboard? She did not give him any face at the table. He was actually very angry. But looking at her frail figure, he could not help but want to pamper her in his embrace.
Did she slim down? Her figure was nimble. It had at the curves of an Asian lady. Her little 53 centimeter waist made all men crave her. Although her figure was thin, she was still supple. Wherever it was meant to be slim, it was slim, and she was still full bodied in other areas. She was a premium product in bed. Lu Shaoming swallowed his saliva. His mind kept replaying how she looked that night.
That feeling made Lu Shaoming feel like he had a flaming fire ignite and burn inside him. Ning Qing speedily withdrew her hand from Xu Junxi’s palm. She shook her head and said, “I am fine, let us eat.” After that, Ning Qing ate very little. Xiao Zhou scooped a bowl of sweet fermented rice dumplings for her. She ate a small bowl. There was a dish of lemon glazed ribs on the table, and she liked the flavour of it. She ate a few pieces and had a bowl of rice with it.
President Li sensed that the atmosphere around the table was a little amiss. Nobody said anything, and the atmosphere was awkward and stale. The girl ate quietly. He heard that she was usually smooth and slick when establishing social relations. Maybe she was exhausted with socializing today. She only bothered with having her meal. Her pale white hand held onto the chopsticks gently, and she looked down as she ate her rice. The girl looked cute and elegant, and she made others’ hearts go soft. Xu Junxi and Xiao Zhou were taking care of her.
He did not know what the Buddha beside him was thinking. He did not see him holding his chopsticks. Similarly, he was sitting there silently. That sharp and piercing atmosphere made the president not dare to speak. President Li also realized that the lazy Susan on the table did not move at all, and that dish of lemon glazed ribs were always in front of Ning Qing.
…
After the meal, Ning Qing left the private room first. Lu Shaoming exited after her and could not see her in his sight anymore. He circled around twice, and in the end, he saw the girl’s shadow in the main lobby. She stood on the stairs, and below the stairs stood a group of passionate fans. Everyone was looking for her to sign an autograph. The girl took a pen to sign. She was a distance away. Lu Shaoming saw her lips smiling warmly, and she was so committed to each and every fan. Lu Shaoming stopped in his tracks and slowly stood at the same spot to look at her. The fans who came over to get an autograph grew in number. The fans were all crowded together. A boy who had just learned how to walk came out of nowhere. He squeezed his way into the group.
“Wa…wa…” That small boy was surrounded by the group of overzealous fans. He was probably hit by some fan somewhere, and he was crying in shock. Ning Qing lifted her eyes to look and speedily descended the steps. “Everyone please give way, there is a small boy there. Everyone, be careful not to run into him; it is very dangerous.” Ning Qing squeezed her way into the group of fans. When she did so, the fans were even more excited when she bent down to bring the small boy into her embrace. She did not know who crashed into her. “Ah!” She let out an exclamation when she felt herself falling.
“Ning Qing!” Lu Shaoming saw the situation and immediately went on his heels to rush over. But there was a shadow that sped over faster than him. Xu Junxi already had Ning Qing tightly in his arms. A bodyguard came to disperse the crowd. Lu Shaoming saw that Xu Junxi’s hand was always on Ning Qing’s small waist. Ning Qing hugged the small boy and was comforting him softly. There was a young couple who ran over to fetch that small boy, and before they left, they thanked Ning Qing profusely.
Ning Qing seemed to like kids very much. Her gentle gaze was always on the small boy. The small boy lay down on his dad’s shoulder obediently. He had a silly grin while he looked towards Ning Qing. He had no teeth and smiled while waving his hand. “Big Sister, bye bye.”
“Goodbye.” After the boy disappeared, Ning Qing withdrew her gaze. Xu Junxi also withdrew his hand away from her waist.
At this moment, Xiao Zhou ran over and Ning Qing bid farewell to Xu Junxi. “President Xu, I’m out of here.”
“Should I drop you off?”
“No need, I drove here today. President Xu, thank you for today. Thank you.” Ning Qing’s expression was plain and she politely brought Xiao Zhou away to leave.
…
Xu Junxi was reluctant to part as he saw Ning Qing disappear. He turned around and it was only then that he realized that Lu Shaoming had been behind him unbeknownst to him. Ning Qing was not there. The two men’s gazes immediately became sharp and arrogant. Xu Junxi lifted his brows and laughed, asking, “Why, does Young Master Lu have anything that he needs me for?” Both of Lu Shaoming’s hands were in his pockets. His expression was plain, and his deep soulful eyes were dark and dangerous like an abyss. His thin lips parted slightly, and he brought along some cynical touch as he said, “President Xu still likes her?”
Xu Junxi did not answer but asked him, “Does it matter to Young Master Lu if I like her or not?” Lu Shaoming felt his chest exhale. One of his hands in his pockets instantly came out, and he slammed his fist directly on Xu Junxi’s face.
“Can you still think about her now? She is mine. She is Lu Shaoming’s woman!”
Xu Junxi did not think that this elegant and classy man would hit him so suddenly. Just how long he was keeping in for that he used so much strength when he hit him just now? Xu Junxi unexpectedly got hit on his right cheek. The side of his lips had a trail of blood that he did not wipe away. He cursed and dashed forward and gave a punch back to Lu Shaoming.
“Your woman? You treat your own woman like this? You are not embarrassed at all saying that?” Lu Shaoming got hit badly in the left cheek, two of them were members of distinguished society, but they did not bother about their respective images. They started fighting the main lobby of the hotel. Xu Junxi was entangled with Lu Shaoming. He hollered angrily and said, “Lu Shaoming, I previously told myself that if Ning Qing was leading her life well, I would let her go. I would only watch her lead a blissful life and I would be satisfied, but now, how are you treating her? How long has she liked you for? 2 or 3 months? Why did she slim down so much? She chased you to go to Finland. After she came back, she was behaving very odd. I have known her for 20 years. Even though she did experience a slump in the entertainment industry before, she didn’t end up like this, pale and haggard. Lu Shaoming, how are you qualified to get her love now?”
Lu Shaoming flipped over and held onto Xu Junxi’s collar and pushed him against the wall. The two of them crashed onto the flower vase on the way to the wall. Crash! It was an ear deafening sound, and the staff in the main lobby and passers-by all gathered around to take a look for themselves. “Lu Shaoming, what is wrong with me touching her? If you make her this upset again, I will snatch her away from you. I will love the person who you do not love.”
“You dare?”
The two of them fought from the wall and ended up on the floor. Hotel security rushed over to separate the two of them. They had murder in their reddened eyes, and they still wanted to continue fighting.
“Junxi.” Xu Junxi”s current girlfriend ran over to him. She saw Xu Junxi was beaten up with a black nose and red face. She quickened her steps and took out a white handkerchief from her pocket. Her eyes were filled with tears as she wiped Xu Junxi’s face, and she said, “Junxi, what happened to you? Does it hurt?”
Lu Shaoming’s senses which had been out on control slowly came back to him. He glared coldly at Xu Junxi, then he made his way through the crowd, turning to leave.
…
After exiting the main doors of the hotel, he walked towards the Bentley. A luxury SUV stopped in front of him. “Shaoming.” Song Yajing and Zhou Zhilei stepped out of the vehicle. The two saw the state that Lu Shaoming was in and immediately covered their mouths in shock. “Brother Ming, what happened to you?” Lu Shaoming did not have emotion and only looked towards them once. He did not say a word. He opened the door of the car, started the engine, stepped on the accelerator, and the Bentley flew off.
The car was going at high speed. When the tyres had contact with ground, the friction that it created made screeching sounds that were piercing to the ear. Song Yajing and Zhou Zhilei still had yet to react, and had their faces were full of dust.
The two of them: “…”
“Aunt, what is wrong with Brother Ming? Did he…fight with someone?” Zhou Zhilei could not believe what she saw. What kind of person was Lu Shaoming? He was someone that had a golden spoon in his mouth the moment he was born. He was a member of high society. He overturned the corporate sector and was admired by all. Why would he go pick a fight? Someone of his social standing would not ever start a fight no matter how angry he was. He had good self-control and could control his own actions. He would know that holding up his fist would be a childish act that oonly juveniles would choose to do.
Song Yajing was also taken aback. She pinched her fingers into a fist and said, “Ever since Shao Ming fell in love with that Ning Qing, it was like he was enchanted by a devil. I feel like I don’t know him anymore. Look at him now, he did not even greet me! He got into a fight! Does he even look like the grandson of the Lu family? Zhilei, did you seal the deal with Shao Ming in Finland?”
The moment she brought this up, Zhou Zhilei immediately grinded her teeth in hatred, but she still maintained a shy and conservative look and said, “Aunt, this kind of matter, I…I can’t do it. I still need Lu Shaoming to take the lead.” She would not be foolish enough to tell Song Yajing that she took the lead and gave herself to Lu Shaoming, but he didn’t even want her. She wanted Song Yajing to pave a road for her.
Song Yajing knew that Zhou Zhilei was shy. How could the daughter of a wealthy family have the face to take the initiative in these matters? “Zhi Lei, let go of those matters first. We cannot take steps too big. If we did, Shaoming would start to suspect us. The most important thing right now is how to deal with Ning Qing. I see that Ning Qing is doing well in the entertainment industry. This is the time…”
…
The Bentley cruised on the road, Lu Shaoming looked at the sidewalks as he drove and did not see Ning Qing’s figure anywhere. Just now, he saw Xiao Zhou and the limo. Ning Qing did not board the car; she had gone off on her own. After cruising for some distance, on the right hand side of the road, a petite figure appeared, Ning Qing was walking alone on the road. Lu Shaoming slowed down and turned on his blinker to signal right. The girl was walking very slowly, and while she walked, she looked at the scenery near the roadside. He kept a distance of 6 or 7 metres from her to follow her from behind, using the glass to distance himself from her.
The side of his lips still had blood. He used the sleeve of his white shirt to wipe it away and stole a glance at the mirror. The hairstyle that he had spent effort putting together this morning was now a mess and probably could not meet the standards of “Handsome” in her heart.
