Chapter 211: Have A Pleasant Journey! Take Your Time; I Will Not Be Sending You Off
Zhu Rui: “…” Damn it, he offended President like this.
President said that he gave him a call, but he did not have any record of a call being made in his phone, and what he said positively were all facts. He did not have any malicious intent, but President seemed to… He changed from being frustrated to being angry now.
Could it be…that President was lying?
Oh, my god, Zhu Rui could not even dare to believe it.
“Haha.” Zhu Rui laughed awkwardly, and hit his head while he said, “President, I think I get what went down. You must have called my phone, but the reception is bad here, so I didn’t receive the call.”
It was only then that Lu Shaoming’s facial expression relaxed. He nodded his head and continued to say, “Secretary Zhu, although I asked you not to let anyone know about me returning to America, if others are looking for me being in a real hurry, you can let them know about it.”
Zhu Rui immediately waved his hands around and said sincerely, “President, don’t be worried. Since you do not wish to be disturbed, then I will definitely keep my lips sealed. Haha.”
After his minor mistake that he made just now, he would not make another mistake again, but just as he finished his words, Lu Shaoming’s sharp gaze came directed over to him.
Zhu Rui, “…” He got blamed for some random reason again, and he was really hurt.
Lu Shaoming was raging furious. This Secretary Zhu looked smart on a normal basis; how come he was so slow today?
Normally he would disseminate his whereabouts to Ning Qing. Did he really think that Lu Shaoming did not know about that? Did he need Lu Shaoming to teach him how to do so now?
“Alright then. I have nothing else. Get to work,” ordered Lu Shaoming.
At this moment, it was only now that Zhu Rui got the message. When President came into the office, he told him not to divulge any information out to others, but he was actually referring to Madam.
Now that he really did not tell Madam anything, President became anxious?
Zhu Rui laughed in his heart. Could President actually be in the middle of a fight with Madam, and he’s having a tantrum?
President wanted Madam to know that he would be returning to America, and he was waiting for her to come chasing after him?
Pfft, President throwing a tantrum was akin to behaving like a young girl. He was being way too adorable right now.
Zhu Rui tapped on his own phone to change the contact name “Madam” to “Ning Qing,” placed the phone beside Lu Shaoming’s hands politely, and said, “President, my phone seems to be malfunctioning, if President has some time, could you help me repair it?”
Lu Shaoming looked at the phone, and his lips slowly curled up into a smile, but he quickly wiped it off his face and sternly said, “Okay. Secretary Zhu, you have been working under me for many years. I just recalled that it is time for you to have a raise now. Go pick a new phone; I will pay the bill.”
Zhu Rui’s eyes lit up. Thank You Dear President!
…
Xiao Zhou waited for Ning Qing in the grand hall of the department store for a long time, but Ning Qing did not appear. When she wanted to go upstairs to look for Ning Qing, she heard, “Xiao Zhou.” Yin Shuiling ran over.
“Miss Yin.”
“Yes, Miss Zhou. How come I was unable to get through Ning Qing’s phone these past few days. What is wrong with her?”
“Oh, Ning Qing went to Europe a few days ago; she lost her phone there.” After explaining this, Xiao Zhou told Yin Shuiling softly, “Miss Yin, I have noticed that Ning Qing has been in a foul mood for these 2 days. She seems to be in the middle of a cold war with Young Master Lu.”
“Cold war?” Yin Shuiling lifted her eyebrows up. She squinted her beautiful eyes and said, “We know about her predicament right now. 2 months have passed in the 3 month process. Time is running out quickly. How would she bear to waste a second right now then? What is going on right now? Tell me everything you know about what has happened in detail right now.”
“Okay.” Xiao Zhou brought Yin Shuiling upstairs to look for Ning Qing. As both of them went up, she told Yin Shuiling everything that has occurred over the last few days.
The two of them stood at the door of the washroom. Xiao Zhou stretched out her hand to open the door, but the door was locked from the inside.
Xiao Zhou was taken aback. She immediately knocked on the door and asked in a panic, “Ning Qing, are you inside right now? What has happened to you? Don’t scare us. Come out quickly. Ning Qing, treat it as me begging you to do so right now, you…”
“Xiao Zhou, step aside. Why are you so gentle towards her?” Yin Shuiling pushed Xiao Zhou away, and used her strength to hit the door and shout loudly, “Ning Qing, I give you 3 seconds, if you don’t open the door, I will kick the door open. Don’t blame me if you end up on entertainment headlines tomorrow. One, two…”
She had yet to say the word “three.” The door of the washroom opened up, and Ning Qing appeared before them.
Xiao Zhou admired Yin Shuiling immediately. She had come up with a solution.
But the smile on Xiao Zhou’s face disappeared immediately. The petite figure in front of her collapsed softly and directly fell onto the floor.
“Ay, Ning Qing!” Yin Shuiling quickly grabbed onto Ning Qing’s small waist. “How come you are fainting? Your body feels so cold. Did you just step out of the refrigerator?” Sigh. “Look what you are turning yourself into, is it all worth it all over a man?”
Xiao Zhou immediately went forward to help support Ning Qing, and she said, “Miss Yin, stop criticizing Ning Qing. Ning Qing, what exactly is wrong with you?”
Ning Qing’s small face was pale. She opened her eyes to look at Yin Shuiling’s small attractive face, and she stretched out her hand to touch her forehead. Her entire forehead was covered in cold sweat, and she said weakly, “It’s nothing. Maybe I sat on the floor for too long. When I heard that you were about to kick the door open, I stood up hurriedly, and felt like fainting as my eyes blacked out.”
Xiao Zhou, “…” Threats were a useful tool.
Yin Shuling held onto Ning Qing’s slim arms to help her to take two steps forward. “I heard Xiao Zhou say that you have not eaten all day. It makes sense that you fainted. Look at how pale your small face is. How long have you been crying for? Your eyes are all swollen. If I were Lu Shaoming, I would also not like you anymore. If a woman does not cherish herself, would you even expect a man to come to love you?”
Ning Qing stared at Yin Shuiling weakly, and said, “Shuiling, can you be more sympathetic right now?”
“No way! Let’s go. Let’s go for a meal.”
The three of them entered the elevator together, and at this moment, Xiao Zhou’s phone rang. A text message had just come in.
Xiao Zhou tapped the message to have a look. It was a message from Zhu Rui. [Xiao Zhou, what is your Ning Qing doing? Why is she not answering her phone or replying to her text messages? My president is returning back to America; you definitely have to let her know about this.]
Xiao Zhou replied immediately. [my Ning Qing lost her phone…] Whatever would follow, Xiao Zhou had to ask Ning Qing for her input.
She handed the phone over to Ning Qing.
But as she was doing so, Yin Shuiling snatched the phone away, and Yin Shuiling had a look at the text and typed a chunk of words furiously and sent it out. She threw the phone casually towards Xiao Zhou after she did so.
Xiao Zhou looked at the phone. The message read as follows: [Ning Qing is on a blind date right now. She doesn’t have the time. If Young Master Lu wants to leave, have a pleasant journey then. Tell him to take his time; I will not be sending him off.”
Xiao Zhou: “…”
Ding! The elevator made it to the selected floor, and Yin Shuiling held Ning Qing’s small hand as they walked out. “Let’s go, I will bring you to have a meal. What do you mean you “don’t have an appetite?” This is not an issue of having no appetite, but rather, it is the problem of the dishes themselves. Sour, sweet, spicy and salty – you definitely would have a favourite among them.”
Ning Qing was not too excited. She said, “Oh”, and followed behind Yin Shuiling like an obedient baby.
The two of them disappeared before Xiao Zhou’s line of sight, and once again, Xiao Zhou was left at a loss for words.
…
The two of them arrived in a Western restaurant. The waiter handed them the menu, and Yin Shuiling looked at the menu and said to Ning Qing, “Ning Qing, you usually like to eat fruit cakes the most, I will order one for you.”
Ning Qing shook her head and said, “I don’t want it, it’s too sweet.”
Yin Shuiling didn’t even lift her head up as she said, “If you don’t like to eat sweet things, could you actually favour sour things then? No problem, I will let the chef prepare a cake with tangerine filling in the middle.”
“Tangerine?” Ning Qing thought about the tartness of the citrus juice. She was about to salivate, and even her stomach was starting to growl in hunger. “Is it okay to do this?”
“Why would it not be okay? I will order a steak for you as well.”
“I don’t want it. I don’t want to eat.”
“You have to eat. I will use the juice of a green apple to grill the steak, and then drizzle it with some sour tomato sauce. I guarantee it will taste good.”
Ning Qing heard her words and was won over. Yin Shuiling spent this 3 years in the United Kingdom not only honing her craft in comic book drawings, but she also improved drastically in her culinary skills, and she would use her wild imagination to create many delicious dishes.
Yin Shuiling was dressed in a long denim shirt today. The light blue material made her tiny face look enchanting and mesmerizing, and she had a scarf around her neck. The mustard yellow scarf was lying casually on her small shoulders, and her shoulder length hair was straight and attractive.
She took a fountain pen in her right hand to scribble on the menu, and her beautiful, upright back was laying against the soft sofa. She did not lift her head up as she was speaking, and whenever Ning Qing protested, she would lift up her eyebrows.
She had the demeanour of a queen compared to the ultimate gentleness of Ning Qing. Ning Qing was blinking her eyes while pouting her lips; she indeed look like a tiny obedient baby.
The two of them discussed their meal with one another and made their orders. Ning Qing had a look; there were already 7 or 8 dishes.
“Shuiling, can we finish so many dishes? And you also wrote down a ton of special instructions. Would they even bother with that?”
Yin Shuiling did not answer, and at this moment, the waiter came to take the menu back and politely greeted Yin Shuiling, calling her “Young Madam.”
Ning Qing was taken aback. “Shui Ling, is this restaurant Older Brother Yin’s?”
Yin Shuiling nodded her head without any expression on her face; “Yeah, he has gifted this western restaurant to me now. I am the boss here. So Ning Qing, it will be on me this time. If you want to have it in the future, you can come whenever you’d like.”
Ning Qing looked at Yin Shuiling’s facial expressions as she asked softly, “Shuiling, you and Older Brother Yin…”
“Just ask whatever you want to know. What are you stuttering for? Between he and I, other than a marriage certificate itself, we are doing everything that a husband and wife would do.”
Ning Qing: “…”
Yin Shuiling lifted her gaze suddenly and examined Ning Qing seriously. “Ning Qing, you like sour things so much, are you pregnant right now?”
Hearing her mention this, Ning Qing’s expression darkened as she shook her head. “No, I had my period two days ago.”
Yin Shuiling said “Oh. If you have your period, that means that you are not pregnant. Then why is your condition so bad during your period this time?”
Ning Qing’s small pale face had a few traces of blood. She bit down her lips, and did not speak.
Yin Shuiling understood immediately. “Ning Qing, you chased Lu Shaoming all the way to Finland. Was it all because you wanted to let him sleep with you? You are also such a failure. Let me tell you something: You’ve chased after Lu Shaoming this whole time. You have been wrong all the way from the start. You cannot pamper the man. Just look at your innocent look – like a little lamb. You took the initiative to bring yourself to his door. He would take you and not claim responsibility after that. You…”
“Aiyo, I beg you, can you not talk anymore?” Ning Qing lifted her body up and stretched out her hand to block her mouth. “You are still criticizing me. With you being like this, it would be weird if Older Brother Yin didn’t like devouring you.”
Yin Shuiling swatted her small hand away, and laughed heartily, “My Older Brother… He, he is a beast once he removes his clothes.”
Ning Qing sat down and stretched her leg out to kick Yin Shuiling twice. Yin Shuiling looked at her, and saw Yin Muchen walking towards their direction.
The man was dressed in a black suit. The premium handmade material made his figure look extra handsome. The man who was 34 years old this year had all of his emotions hidden inside his dark eyes. He wore a wrist watch on his right hand that he casually placed it in his pockets, and every stern and elegant movement of his brought out the glow and glamour of a precious-metal magnate.
