At this moment, Lu Dinghua returned from the office, and he was standing in the living room, looking upstairs.
Song Yajing was silent for a few seconds, and she said, “Hand Little Young Master over to Madam then.”
“Yes, Old Madam.” It was only then that the confinement lady handed Little Young Master Lu over to Ning Qing.
Ning Qing stretched out her hands to take Little Young Master Lu in her embrace.
She turned around and looked at Song Yajing. Her voice was soft and gentle as she said, “Mum, I’m going. I have prepared a booklet on how to match your clothes on your bed stand. If you are free, you can have a look. Also, Mum, you are a grandmother now, don’t exert yourself too much in the future. Your waist is not too good. You need to take care of your body and have more rest. I actually prepared to go learn healthy dancing with you, but...it’s fine. I have prepared a disk for you, Mum. You can follow the tutorial and learn from the teacher to dance.”
Song Yajing’s eyes turned red, and she looked to the side.
Ning Qing looked at her again, and she still had so many other things that she wanted to say, but she could not say it now. She was fearful of this feeling of goodbye.
She carried Little Young Master Lu downstairs.
Lu Dinghua was standing at the foot of the stairwell. “Ning Qing...”
Ning Qing stopped in her tracks, and her gentle eyes welcomed his gaze. She had a smile on her face as she said, “Dad, I don’t know what to say to you. The matters in the company, the things that happened at home... Shaoming has returned, so I no longer have to worry about these things. Of course, I am also unable to help with anything...”
“Ning Qing...” It was not that she was unable to help out; she was the one who had protected the Lu home.
But she was leaving now.
“Dad, after everything, I need to thank both of you. During this period of time, I was very happy, and I treated both of you as my father and mother from the bottom of my heart. This fact would never ever change. If Dad and Mum miss Little Young Master Lu, you can send someone down to bring him here. You can also come to my home. Anyways, the journey there is very short. It’s merely a quick drive there.”
Lu Dinghua channelled his gaze downwards as he responded with, “Okay.”
Ning Qing kissed her son in her embrace, then said, “Little Young Master Lu, say goodbye to Grandpa and Grandma then.”
Little Young Master Lu was blabbering around in her embrace as he toyed along. He had a glow in his sparkling eyes as he looked at Grandpa. He also looked at Grandma, who was standing upstairs, and he fiddled with his soft white, tiny hands as he went into Mama’s embrace, and he gurgled out in laughter without any worries.
He was only three months old, and he did not know anything about farewells.
Ning Qing kissed her son again and said, “Dad, Mum, I will be leaving then.”
She lifted her feet and walked to the door.
The old butler was waiting beside the door as he greeted her, “Madam.”
Ning Qing looked at the butler’s polite stance and said with a smile, “Butler, you do not have to send me off; my car is just outside. Take care of both Old Master and Old Madam. If anything comes up, just give me a call, I will rush back very quickly. Also...” Ning Qing looked outside and said, “I am going now. Let Young Master come back to stay then, he has his own filial piety to fulfil.”
“Madam...” The old butler hesitated with what he was about to say.
Ning Qing looked at the helper who was helping her carry her luggage, “Let us go then.”
Ning Qing lifted her feet and walked out of the main doors of the villa.
...
There was a car parked outside the porch of the villa. Ning Zhenguo got out from the driver’s seat, and he opened the trunk up to place Ning Qing’s luggage inside.
The helper opened the back door of the vehicle, and Ning Qing carried Little Young Master Lu as she sat inside.
Yue Wanqing saw that Little Young Master Lu’s eyes were sparkling brighty, and she stretched out her hand to take Little Young Master Lu into her arms. She gave him two strong kisses as she said, “Little Young Master Lu, did you miss Grandmother? Grandmother missed my obedient grandson so much.”
There was a heater in the car, and Ning Qing stretched out her hand to loosen the swaddle Little Young Master Lu had around him.
Yue Wanqing played with Little Young Master Lu while she said in a displeased tone, “Qingqing, you are just too much. We have already come to the door of your house; why didn’t you allow us to go in to pay a visit? It is so rude not to do so.”
“Mum, if you go in to pay a visit, wouldn’t my parents-in-law have to invite you in to stay for a meal? Shaoming has just returned to the country. There are many things that he is busy handling now. Can’t you two avoid adding to the mess?”
Yue Wanqing stretched out her hand to poke Ning Qing’s small head while she said, “Qingqing, what you mean by ‘adding to the mess?’ I see that your heart is biased towards them.”
Ning Qing tugged her mother’s elbow as she placed her small head on her mother’s shoulders and acted cute. “Mum, didn’t I bring Little Young Master Lu over to accompany you now?”
Yue Wanqing’s expression was full of benevolence, and she pretended to be angry as she said, “Yeah, I didn’t raise you for nothing.”
The three people in the car burst out in laughter, and even Little Young Master Lu, who took a whiff of his grandmother’s gentle scent that he had not smelled for a long time, did not stop gurgling in laughter. Ning Zhenguo looked through the rearview mirror, looked at the three generations that were laughing happily, and asked with a laugh, ” Qingqing, shall we head out then?”
Ning Qing looked sideways, and she looked through the windows of the car to look at the Lu villa yet once again. She closed her moist eyes and replied, “Yeah, Dad, let’s go.”
The car started to move off.
“Qingqing.” Yue Wanqing stretched out her hand to touch her daughter’s small head as she said, “Would Shaoming get angry if he found out that you are moving over to stay with us?”
“He won’t.” Ning Qing let the tears fall from her eyes freely, and she smiled cheekily. “He does not dare to.”
“How long do you plan to stay?”
“.. After he is done being busy, he will come to pick me up.”
The car drove to a bend, and at this moment, a black Bentley could be seen in front of them, and the cars brushed past one another.
Ning Zhenguo stepped on the accelerator, and the car cruised onto the main streets, entering the flow of traffic.
...
Lu Shaoming looked through the rear view mirror at the car that had just brushed past his car and his left eyelid was twitching.
His large hand that was holding the steering wheel turned, and he sped up as he drove onto the grass path outside the villa.
He switched off the engine and opened the door. A long pair of legs came striding out, and he was dressed in a black suit. It perfectly accentuated his handsome, lanky figure.
The helper came to open the door, and Lu Shaoming walked into the living room.
The huge villa was quiet and empty, and it was utterly devoid of sound. This was no longer the home that he had in his impression. There was a warm, yellow light in the home. There was a smiling girl under the amber glow, and that girl only had her eyes on him. There was a gentle glow in her youthful eyes as she channelled her gaze to look at him.
Everything returned back to its original state. There were no longer the sound of cheers and laughter, and it lacked a human presence.
He briskly walked upstairs and stood at the entrance of the bedroom. He took a deep breath, then pushed the door open.
The bedroom was clean and neat, and the blankets on the bed were folded into a cube as they were placed on the bed. The wardrobe was entirely empty. She had left.
Little Young Master Lu?
He wanted to see Little Young Master Lu.
But thinking about it, it was better not to do so, she had left and she would definitely brought Little Young Master Lu away with her.
The strength in his entire body seemed to be sucked away, so Lu Shaoming sat on the bed. He lowered his gaze with melancholy. He had her at one point, and she had given him the greatest bliss of his life, but now that she left, his heart was empty just like that.
She was deeply hurt.
“Shaoming, you have returned?” At this moment, Song Yajing’s voice rang from the side of the door.
He did not respond. He was too lazy to reply.
“Qingqing brought Little Young Master Lu back to her parent’s home. She is an intelligent and good child. She would definitely understand you. Since things have turned out this way, don’t let her down, and after you...” Song Yajing choked up, and continued, “dispel the love curse, we will take her back into our home.”
Lu Shaoming continued to look down as he sat on the bed. The lights were not switched on in the room, and his back profile seemed to be lonely in the darkness.
Song Yajing was unable to continue speaking. That girl had left, and the entire Lu family was silent. It was because of her arrival that the entire Lu family had colorful vibrance, but now it had become dark and solemn back again.
She sighed and turned around to leave.
The old butler stood outside the room to have a glance, and he also turned around to leave. He suddenly missed the chaos in the meeting room of Lu Corporation. Just to protect and secure the Lu family, she battled her way through every challenge. Madam was so strong and brave, and it made others admire her greatly.
Now that Madam has left... She protected the Lu family when they needed her, and she did not stay forcefully when the family did not need her anymore. She had her own pride, and she lived so diligently and forthrightly.
...
Ning Qing stayed in the Ning home for two days, and one day, Xiao Zhou came to look for her. She dragged her to go out shopping, and Ning Qing was unable to reject her, so the duo went to a shopping mall together.
“Ning Qing, Little Young Master Lu is already three months old now. You have raised him at home this whole time. When do you plan to return?” Xiao Zhou asked.
Ning Qing looked at the shopping mall, and she was uninterested as she said, “We will talk about it another time. I am still breastfeeding Little Young Master Lu right now, I will focus on raising him first and foremost.”
Xiao Zhou knew Ning Qing’s situation, and she sighed inside her heart. She stretched out her hand to cup Ning Qing’s shoulder, smiled, and said, “That’s fine then. Let us go out today to relax. When girls are unhappy, they like to go shopping. Ning Qing, let us go on a spending spree.”
Ning Qing had a plain smile and replied, “Sure, then.”
The two of them walked into a branded shop, and Xiao Zhou pointed towards a summery dress as she said, “Ning Qing, come and try this dress! It would definitely look pretty on you.”
Ning Qing did not respond, and Xiao Zhou turned around to look. She saw Ning Qing standing before a white men’s shirt, and her small, white hand was caressing the sleeve of the shirt. She was caressing it softly and gently.
Xiao Zhou felt her heart sour. In all the years that she and Ning Qing have known each other, Ning Qing was always brave during tough times. She had a youthful and bright character. But when she mentioned making a comeback just now, she was so listless. Now, as they were shopping, she saw Lu Shaoming’s shirt on her first glance. The sad expression on her face was that of someone at a loss, and she was depressed as she touched the sleeves of the shirt. It was apparent that she was still upset over the situation.
“Miss, do you want to purchase this shirt? I can help make a recommendation.”
Ning Qing lifted her gaze up and looked at the sales assistant, “There is no need for that. My...husband probably...doesn’t need it.”
He did not need her now. How he would he even look at a shirt that she bought for him?
Moreover, his shirts were all tailor-made. They were all made by hand. One that she bought at the store, how would he have interest in it?
Heh.
As she was pondering, a voice that rang out behind her. “What a coincidence! Isn’t this Mrs. Lu? Mrs. Lu, how are you?”
Ning Qing turned her gaze over, and it was really true that enemies would meet often. It was Zhou Zhilei.
There was a man standing beside Zhou Zhilei. He was dressed immaculately, and he was handsome and charming. The man had a pair of flirtatious eyes, and as he looked at others, they had a hint of evil in them. He was the embodiment of a fashionable playboy.
The man had his arms around Zhou Zhilei’s soft waist, and he used his flirtatious eyes to scan Ning Qing’s figure. His eyes lit up as he said, “Zhi Lei, who is this?”
“Oh, Xueli, let me introduce you to her. This is Young Master Lu’s wife, Ning Qing. Mrs. Lu, this is my boyfriend, Tang Xueli.”
Ning Qing did not know if it was just her skepticism, but when Tang Xueli heard that she was Mrs. Lu, the glow in his eyes shone even brighter.
She had heard of this name “Tang Xueli” before, but it was back when no one knew whether Lu Shaoming was alive or not. She did not have the heart to care about these people, and in her impression, he was someone of a formidable background.
She put down the shirt in her hands, and she stood up straight. Her small, exquisite face bore a courteous smile as she said, “Miss Zhou, Mr. Tang, how are the both of you?”
Zhou Zhilei walked over and looked at Ning Qing as she said with a smile, “Mrs. Lu, did you come out to buy clothes for Young Master Lu? How come I don’t see Young Master Lu around? Young Master Lu and Mrs. Lu are normally not separate from one another. How come you are separated now?”
