Lu Shaoming smiled in a reserved manner but didnt reply.

The hotel manager couldnt hold back; he took the dish from a waiter and served the dish to the aunt. He said politely, Aunt, he is our hotels CEO. Every dish here is specially cooked by the top chef in the hotel. You cant find it anywhere else. Aunties, please enjoy your lunch.

CEO? The aunts suspicious emotion seemed to reveal her confusion, whats that?

CEO means boss, the hotel manager explained patiently.

The aunties gasped. The hotel looked like it was one of the top hotels in T city. The person opposite them was the boss?

They shook their heads in disbelief.

Lu Shaoming took a bowl and filled the bowl with soup before he placed it in front of Yue Wanqing, Mom, this is shark fin soup with cordyceps and sea cucumber. Its really good for your health. I told the chef to cook it for you. Try it.

The aunties heard cordyceps and sea cucumber, and they started salivating. Those were words that they would hear in a wealthy familys dining room. They grabbed their chopsticks and started eating.

Ning Qing saw the aunties had eaten the dishes on the table at a tornado speed. They didnt even manage to swallow. It was as though they were scared that someone was going to fight them for their meals and Ning Qing blushed even harder.

She stole a glance at the side. The man didnt eat much but he looked on gently. As the dishes on the table were emptied, she heard him tell the hotel manager, Serve the signature dishes.

The hotel manager took his order while he stole a glance at Ning Qing. His gaze was filled with great respect.

Yes, though he was out of place at the dining table, his actions made it clear how much he cared about Ning Qing.

Because she was there, he was there.

The waiter served another plate of stir fried meat. Ning Qing tried a piece and found it thin yet juicy, very delicious.

She took another piece and put it into Lu Shaomings bowl.

Lu Shaoming was talking to his mother-in-law. He looked down and saw the meat that his wife took for him. He looked sideways and saw the girl looking at him with her crystal clear eyes while she smiled at him.

She wore her hair down that day and she had braided the right side of her fringe into a beautiful fishtail braid that flowed behind her ear. Shed clipped the braid on her head with a butterfly hair clip. The youthful fashion made her look like she was only eighteen years old, like a very beautiful and innocent university student.

There was an autumn moon in her beautiful eyes. She looked at him when she smiled and there was a tinge of warmth and dependence towards him. The expression was enchanting.

Lu Shaomings bright slender eyes displayed affection. He picked up his chopsticks and put the meat into his mouth.

This little girl Finally, my effort wasnt in vain.

Ning Qing saw that he was eating so she quickly placed a little into his bowl every time a dish was served. The man was very humble but his high standard of living wouldnt change. He didnt quite fit alongside those whod always eat like its their last meal.

Lu Shaoming saw that his wife by his side was extremely busy. Very quickly, there was a mini mountain in his bowl.

The corners of his lips lifted as he enjoyed being taken care of.

Yue Wanqing watched the sweet interaction between her daughter and her son-in-law. Her eyes welled-up. She was worried that her daughter wouldnt be happy in a flash marriage. It seemed that she had worried too much.

Her daughters happiness was written all over her face.

After the dinner ended, the aunties were so full that their stomachs were round. Lu Shaoming exhorted the hotel manager, Serve some fruit.

The aunties didnt raise any objection. They thought they might as well complete the meal with some fruit.

Then, the private room door was pushed open. A young man in a suit stood by the door anxiously. He nodded and bowed slightly. Young Master Lu, good afternoon.

One of the aunties saw that someone had come and she quickly stood up. Son, why are you here? It was the son who drove BMW.

The BMW son gave a look to his mom which was meant to tell her to shut up.

Young Master Lu, thank you for your hospitality today. My mom and the aunties are done with their meal, I shall bring them home.

The hotel manager moved the chair and Lu Shaoming stood up slowly. He put both his hands in his pocket and nodded, Sure, see you again.

The BMW son held his mom by her arms and pulled her out. The other three aunties, who followed the lead of the BMW aunt, quickly bid farewell to Yue Wanqing and followed the two out.

Lu Shaoming, Ning Qing and Yue Wanqing stood by the door as they watched them leave.

The BMW aunt wanted to pull her arm back from her son, Son, what are you doing? Little Lu is treating me to lunch, Im not done yet.

The BMW son frowned, Mom, Young Master Lu invited you for lunch and you went? Who do you think you are?

Son, how can you speak like that? A person who cant afford a house at Diaoyu Island but bought his house at Tea Pavilion. Why would I be scared of him?

Do you know who owns all the properties in Diaoyu Island? Theyre the Lu familys! Tea Pavilion is right in the center of T City. Young Master Lu built a house for himself in the city center so he can overlook the entire city when he opens the window; he can see a maple tree forest when he opens the door. He named it Tea Pavilion. It is the one and only in the entire city. Its not something that you can buy just with money. Do you understand?

Wh What, the aunt was in a shock, But little Lu said that he had never heard of Diaoyu Island.

Heh, that is because he has too many properties under his name. T city is just a small land, Young Master Lu, of course, doesnt focus much of his attention on this place.

But little Lu said he has a garage. So, I thought he meant bicycles, motorbikes and what not. He says that he drives Bentley. He cant even afford a BMW.

Mom, you dont know much. Can you not try to scare anyone else in the future? One of his Bentley models would be able to buy my BMW. A garage with bicycles and motorbikes, youre dreaming!

But, but little Lu

Aiya, mom, please, I beg you. Stop calling him little Lu. Are you trying to make me go crazy or are you trying to kill me?

The aunties shut their mouths then. Heh, we have yet to tell you that we think hes too old.

Until the aunties disappeared, Ning Qing looked up at the handsome man who was one head taller than her. Youre the one who invited the aunts son?

Mm, Lu Shaoming nodded. His slender black eyes revealed a sharp gaze with wisdom. He replied calmly, The aunties harbored a preconceived idea. They wouldnt have believed anything we said. They will only wake up when their sons tell them.

Then, whyd you treat them to a meal? Why not just tell their sons to tell them off?

Lu Shaoming lowered his voice. There was a tinge of affection in his deep voice. Didnt you say that theyre your moms friends?

Ning Qing didnt say anything else. Her crystal clear eyes were welled-up with tears. If her mom wasnt there, shed really want to hug him, very tightly.

He was trying to tell her, hell do anything to make her happy.

Yue Wanqing was very happy that night, Shaoming, thank you.

Mom, thats what I should do. Lu Shaomings phone rang and he answered the call. He said, Ning Qing, Im going downstairs for a while. Zhu Rui has a document that I need to read through. Theres a health center at the hotel. Id tell the manager to bring you, see what mom likes.

Mm, hurry up and go. Ning Qing nodded.

Lu Shaoming took a huge stride as he left.

Yue Wanqing watched the mans handsome back and sighed happily. This Shaoming, the more I see, the less Im worried. But Qingqing, was what the aunts son said true? Its so scary. Is Shaomings family really that rich?

Mom, I married him because of who he is. Why are you so worried? Ning Qing was afraid that her mom would overthink so she quickly changed the subject.

Ning Qing herself was surprised that she had fallen into this gold pit.

Lu Shaoming walked out of the hotel and noticed there was a luxurious car parked next to the stairs. Zhu Rui was standing next to the door.

Lu Shaoming looked but didnt walk towards Zhu Rui. He walked down the stairs and turned towards a secluded area.

There was a man standing there, Kong Yang.

Kong Yang clenched his fists and there was jealousy in his eyes. You think youre great that you won against me? It was just money. Do you think Ning Qing would be with you if you didnt have money?

Lu Shaoming stood straight and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He lit a cigarette with his lighter and took a puff. The smoke curled up as his gaze grew deep and dark. He smirked in disdain. Ning Qing is with me because Im rich. Then why would Ning Qing follow you who are poor? Because of love?

Kong Yang hated his wealthy aura. He stood handsomely and every single word he uttered showed that he was the helmsman.

He was an authority.

Kong Yang was inferior because he knew that he couldnt win against the authority. He was too weak. But he was the one who liked Ning Qing first, how could he overtake him?

The more inferior he realized he was, the angrier he felt.

Am I wrong? If you couldnt afford to pay Ning Qings moms surgery fees, if you couldnt help her in her entertainment career, would she love you?

Heh. Lu Shaoming smiled. He looked calm and quiet but his sharp gaze pierced Kong Yang as he said, I paid her moms surgery fees, I helped her, due to my capability to provide her a good materialistic foundation. This is what I do because I love her. What do you have? When her mom needed surgery, you took out a mortgage on your property and you only managed to lend one fifth of the surgery fees. What do you have to show her your love?

Kong Yang was stabbed right where it hurt. His eyes grew red.

Lu Shaoming continued, In your head, Ning Qing is a good girl. In this word, the better the girl is, the more exquisite she deserves to be treated. You cant provide for her but I can. How are you qualified to question me?

I look down on you not because you have no money but because youre a coward and youre not willing to accept the reality. Ning Qing does not owe you. You couldnt get what you want so you became wicked. You stirred up the few aunties and put Ning Qings mom in a difficult position. Hatred derived from love; youre a wicked man.

Kong Yang clenched his fist and it cracked. I see. So, you knew. Go ahead and tell Ning Qing. Tell Ning Qing what kind of a person I am.

Theres no need to. Lu Shaoming shook his head.

Why?

Lu Shaoming looked at the lamp
