You! Li Meiling was quivering in anger. Ning Qings words were too vicious. Every word she uttered stabbed her right where it hurt most. She was at the verge of collapsing. She was going to lose control.

Just before she lost control, she suddenly stood up. If you only wanted to say these things, I will not entertain you.

Aunt Li, why are you leaving in such a hurry? Ning Qing knew that her emotional line of defense was on the verge of breaking down and her smile grew even wider. She took out her phone from her bag, I havent even reached my point yet. Aunt Li, let me play something for you to listen to.

What? Li Meiling asked with her guard up.

Ning Qing tapped the phone and the recording of the gangsters conversation played.

Boss, is what she said real? Is the Li Meiling reliable? There are too many cases of murder to keep ones mouth shut

Li Meiling heard the recording and her face changed. Where did you get this voice recording? She extended her hand across the table to grab the phone in Ning Qings hand. Hurry up and give it to me!

Heh, why should I give it to Aunt Li? I have to give this to the police. You hired gangsters to rape me. This is the evidence. Aunt Li, couldnt you have chosen smarter gangsters? If you would have, it wouldnt be so easy for me to find leverage against you. What would Xu Junxi and Ning Zhenguo think if you were to be imprisoned? Haha

Looking at Ning Qing laughing hysterically, Li Meilings blood began to boil. Those dumbasses. They didnt rape Ning Qing but their voices were recorded.

Her bloodshot eyes aimed at the phone in Ning Qings hand. She only had one thought in her mind. No way. This voice recording cant go to the police. Otherwise, she would be doomed.

She was at a disadvantage in the situation. The recording would only make it worse.

No, just as Ning Qing had said: she had planned for twenty years. It cant go to ruin in a flash. She didnt want to be abandoned. She didnt want the taste of losing and being defeated.

She had always been the winner.

Li Meiling walked around the table and ran to Ning Qing. She pushed Ning Qing onto the sofa. She extended her hand to grab her phone. Ning Qing, give me the phone!

Ning Qing gripped the phone tightly and smirked coldly. I wont give it to you. You switched the prop gun with a real gun in the filming studio with the intent to kill me. You hired gangster to try to rape me. But where have you succeeded? God knows what youve done. Youve been involved in so many inhuman affairs; todays is the day for retribution!

Humph, Ning Qing, retribution or not, we will know when all is said and done. The recording wouldnt be enough to convict me. I wont lose. I will never lose, Li Meiling roared emotionally.

Li Meiling, stop dreaming. Wake up. You took my moms husband and taught your daughter to use the same methods to take my fiance. In the end, it proves that nothing youve taken has ever been rightfully yours!

Shut up, shut up! Li Meiling slapped Ning Qing hard. She didnt want to listen to Ning Qing. She didnt want to listen to her precise dagger-like words.

Li Meiling extended her hand to seize Ning Qings throat. She roared as though she were possessed, Ill kill you now. Lets meet death together!

Ning Qing suddenly felt difficulty breathing and she pushed and hit Li Meiling as she struggled.

Then, the waitress at the cafe saw what happened. She shouted, Murder! someones trying to kill! Hurry up call the police; Call 110!

The waitress ran away.

When Li Meiling heard call the police, she regained awareness. She saw Ning Qings face was red from her grasp. She grew as pale as a sheet. She quickly reined her hands.

I didnt kill anyone. I didnt Li Meiling panicked and she got up to run.

However, her sleeve was tugged by a delicate hand. She turned around and saw Ning Qing smiling widely. Li Meiling, now that I have you, do you think Id let you go? Yes, I wouldnt be able to press charges with the audio recording but what if theres another attempted murder?

Li Meilings pupil shrunk and she felt threatened. You What do you mean?

Ning Qing quickly extended her hand and grabbed the knife beside Li Meiling. There was a chilly gleam and psst, the sound of a knife stabbing into ones flesh was heard. Ning Qings left shoulder was covered in blood.

Li Meiling was dumbfounded. Everything happened too quickly, too suddenly.

Ning Qing was so merciless. She didnt even blink when she stabbed the knife into her shoulder.

There was a spark in Li Meilings mind when she recalled a few details.

Ning Qing had been wearing a set of white gloves that day. It was autumn and it was normal that a girl would wear a scarf and gloves. However, when she had arrived at the cafe earlier, the cutlery beside her was scattered. She arranged them to the side when she sat down. In other words, her fingerprints were on the knife.

But Ning Qing was wearing gloves so her fingerprints wouldnt be on the knife.

Plus, it was in the afternoon. No matter how quiet a cafe was, it was impossible that there was no one there. In other words, Ning Qing took control of the cafe.

Great. Ning Qing had planned everything beforehand. She set up a banquet as a trap for the invited so she could never return.

She first provoked her with sharp verbal attack then led her on with the audio regarding the gangsters. After that, the waitress saw that she tried to seize Ning Qing by her throat. In short, there was an eyewitness and evidence. She wouldnt be able to get out of this.

Ning Qing, youre so despicable. How dare you frame me!

Ning Qing was aching and her face was pale. She pushed Li Meiling off with all her strength then Ning Qing fell on the ground. She covered her bleeding shoulder as she crawled on the ground. Somebody, help. Someone is trying to kill me

Li Meiling was speechless. She had been acting all her life. This was an act that she had used countless times; she never knew Ning Qing would play her trick at a higher level.

She finally admitted that Ning Qing was too strong of an opponent to fight against.

What should she do now?

Dont move. Raise your hands! The police had arrived. Li Meiling saw two black holes aiming at her head. The police were aiming their guns at her.

It was autumn but Li Meiling was covered in cold sweat. She muttered dully, It wasnt me. It was her. She stabbed herself

The police came to Li Meiling and took out a pair of cold handcuffs to cuff her, We suspect that youre involved in an attempted murder. We are arresting you according to the law. You have the right to remain silent, whatever you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

The two police arrested Li Meiling while a doctor began taking emergency measures to tend to Ning Qings wound. Li Meiling shouted, Ning Qing, you framed me! I will not let you go

Ning Qing lifted her head from the doctors arms. The corner of her lips lifted and flashed a cold smile of disdain at Li Meiling. Li Meiling, prison is the final destination Ive prepared for you.

Dont think about running away this time!

Li Meiling was arrested by the police.

Tea Pavilion Villa.

The doctor was changing the dressing on Ning Qings wound once again while Yue Wanqing hugged Ning Qing in her arms with tears flowing down her cheeks. Qingqing, how could you go and meet Li Meiling alone. She is such a treacherous person. See what happened now? She stabbed you. Luckily, she only got your shoulder. Otherwise, what would we do?

Ning Qing hugged her mom. Her mom would never know the truth behind the incident in the cafe and she would never tell her.

Then, Zhu Rui, who was standing nearby, comforted, Old madam, you wont get a tiger if you dont enter the tigers den. Madam made it through the danger and defeated Li Meiling. She wont be able to stir up any trouble in the future.

Yes, Mom. You have to lose some to gain some. I only have a small injury but I sent Li Meiling to prison. This is something to be happy about.

Yue Wanqing thought otherwise. Her daughters safety was everything. Shed rather Li Meiling run around before her than have her daughter be wounded.

Madam, stay at home to rest and Ill take care of everything at the police station. Li Meiling will definitely be imprisoned. You only need to make an appearance at the trial.

Mm, thank you Secretary Zhu.

Then, there was heavy footsteps outside the door. Aunt Zhang said, Sir, you came home?

Ning Qing felt a tug at her heartstrings and she lifted her gaze. The bedroom door was pushed open and there was a handsome figure standing outside the door. He was in a grey wool jacket that looked travel-worn.

It was Lu Shaoming.

Yue Wanqing stood up and said in surprise, Shaoming, you came back?

Yes, Mom, Lu Shaoming replied in a tired tone.

Thats great. Its dinner time. Let me take care of the dinner with Aunt Zhang. Shaoming, talk to Qingqing. This child makes me worry all the time, Yue Wanqing exhorted lovingly.

Zhu Rui then bid farewell and left the room with Yue Wanqing. They closed the door behind them.

Suddenly, there were only two of them left in the room. The two of them didnt speak and it was quiet.

Ning Qing was blushing in embarrassment. She looked at the mans slender cold gaze fixing at her as he looked her over with anger and aching tenderness in his eyes.

Theres a solemn boldness that he was born with. She was especially anxious when he was quiet.

Theyd been apart for three to four days and her gaze couldnt be redirected the moment it connected him.

They cant just stay there like that. Ning Qing stood up and walked towards him.

His grey wool jacket was very long, all the way to his knees. The jacket was long but his legs were even longer. The well-tailored slacks wrapped around his long legs below his knees. They were straight, strong and proud. His body was in nice shape and the firm texture of his clothes set off his sharp yet cold aura.

There was weariness on his face. His beautiful jaw was covered with a layer of stubble. However, his handsome face and sculpted jawline were obvious and his weariness only made him look like a mature man.

Especially charming.

Ning Qing stood by him and wanted to touch him. However, she felt embarrassed under his sharp gaze. She extended her finger and pushed his chest probingly, What are you doing? You just came back and youre mad at me.

The man quickly wrapped her finger into his palm while his other hand hung by his side with a document held by two of his fingers. Do you know why Im mad at you? Didnt you just promise me that youll discuss it with me before you take any action? The moment I got off the plane, I heard that youd been hurt. Do you know how worried I was? Huh?

I know. Its my fault Ah His other hand that was holding his document suddenly held her delicate waist and pulled her into his embrace while his other hand slapped her perky butt.

He looked down and bit her lips. His breathing grew heavier. Naughty girl, do you still think youre very smart? Using yourself as a bait to defeat your enemy. The loss outweighs the gain. That was so stupid.

Although her butt and her lips hurt, Ning Qing punched him with her small hands as she flirted, Why did you hit me when you came home? Actually, I was also afraid when I made a scene at the wedding. I felt pain when I stabbed myself with the knife. Forget the fact that you dont understand me. On top of that, you hit me?!

The girl moved vigorously. Lu Shaoming was worried that she would open her wound so he seized her arms and kissed her lips. He gulped and said, Why do I have to understand you? Why dont you try to understand me? I went for a business trip and I nearly lost my little wife before I could return. Do you know how scared I was?

Her lips were covered in moisture along with the refreshing scent of his mouth. Ning Qing grew weak all over as she held onto his jacket.

Under his jacket, he wore a clean white shirt with black striped tie. He exhibited the character of a careful elite.

Ning Qing quickly closed her eyes. She didnt dare to take another look at him. She was worried that she would grow even more fond of him and grow even weaker.

Little wife, Lu Shaoming closed his eyes and called as he kissed her lips slowly.

Ning Qings hands that were gripping his collar moved upwards to his shoulders and then hugged his neck tightly. She felt safer as she hung on him, as she was afraid that she might fall if she grew weak.

He was kissing her so tenderly. She was nice and sweet and he was like a bee collecting honey. He wasnt tired no matter what. He was using his kiss to tell her how much he missed her.

He had missed her so much over the last three days.

Hed just returned from his business trip and heard that shed been injured. How could he not be angry?

After a long tender kiss, Ning Qing felt light headed. The mans sexy thin lips were still lingering around her lips. Her skin emitted a warm, refreshing scent. Their breaths intertwined.

Does your shoulder hurt? He asked gently.

Mm, it doesnt hurt much now. I didnt stab it too deep. I just had painkillers.

Then, he grabbed her perky butt and she was lifted up. Lu Shaoming carried her to the bed. He carried her and kissed her on her lips.

Lu Shaoming sat on the bed and he supported Ning Qings beautiful back with his arm around her to embrace her. His other hand ran through the hair by her cheeks as he deepened the kiss.

They had not seen each other for three or four days. The moment they kissed, they couldnt help themselves.

When Lu Shaoming let go of her, Ning Qing lay in his embrace with her rosy cheeks. He rubbed his jaw against her bright forehead. She found it ticklish yet prickly.

The atmosphere after they kissed would forever stick out in her memory. Ning Qing leaned on his broad warm chest leisurely.

Why would you risk yourself? Do you think thered be endless trouble in store if Li Meiling kept hanging around? His deep voice was hoarse and Ning Qing found it extremely sexy.

Mm, yes. Theres something wrong with Ning Yaos wedding and Ning Zhenguo abandoned her. She was definitely in a fix. I couldnt give her a chance to gasp for air. I had to eradicate the source of the trouble!

Heh, Lu Shaoming looked down and kissed her clean face as his bright black eyes shimmered. Besides risking yourself, little wife is quite smart. Well done.
