Chapter 1767: Xiao Ying and Long Ming’s Ending (10)

The flickering lights landed on his well-defined face, making him look even more cold and indifferent.

Hearing her words, his grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly.

His eagle-like eyes shot at her and he said coldly, “Why? Are you interested in the Second Prince or the Young Master of the Li family? Do you think you’ll still be as popular after leaving with your daughter?”

Hearing his mocking tone, Xiao Ying was not angry. Her expression was calm. “What does it have to do with you who I’m with? If Wan Bao and I don’t burden you, you can find a Princess Consort you like. Won’t that be great for everyone?”

Long Ming’s expression darkened and he wanted to curse.

When had he said that he wanted to find a Princess Consort?

“It’s not up to you to decide what kind of life I want to live. Wan Bao is my daughter. You can forget about taking her away!”

Xiao Ying said nothing more.

The atmosphere in the car was extremely stiff and cold.

The car drove to an intersection and stopped at the junction.

Long Ming stared at the woman whose back was facing him. Thinking about how she had ignored him these past few days and was extremely cold, he felt like someone had punched him in the heart.She was used to playing hard to get!

He had clearly suffered at her hands once, but now, he was still under her spell.

These few days, he had been very unhappy that she did not contact him and did not even visit him.

“Why do you look so angry?”

Hearing his words, Xiao Ying turned back to look at him. His expression was tense, his eyes dark and sharp. His strong and cold aura almost froze the air in the car.

Xiao Ying pursed her lips. “If you don’t want to see me, wouldn’t it have been good for me to sit in the same car as Mei’er? Besides, no one asked you to pick me up. Did you take the wrong medicine? Is there something wrong with you?”

He did not like her appearing in front of him and she had avoided him as much as possible.

Whatever he said, she did her best to endure it and not argue with him.

But he still disliked her!

The atmosphere in the car was even more oppressive.

Long Ming pursed his lips into a tight line.After the car started, he drove for a distance before stopping by the roadside. He clenched his jaw and said sharply, “Scram!”

Without any hesitation, Xiao Ying pushed open the door, wanting to get out of the car.

But before she could take a step out, a long hand reached over her.

Bang! The door was slammed shut by the man again.

The car sped toward the palace.

There were no more words between them.

…

When they arrived at the palace, Xiao Ying got out of the car first.

Long Mei’s car had arrived first. Seeing Xiao Ying arrive, she hurried forward. “Sister-in-law, did my brother make things difficult for you?”

Long Ming walked over and frowned when he heard Long Mei’s words.

Those who did not know anything would think that Long Mei was that woman’s younger sister!Xiao Ying shook her head, glancing at Long Ming’s tall and cold back as she said, “Mei’er, I’m going to see Wan Bao.”

“Okay.

Xiao Ying hurried to Wan Bao’s room.

The nanny was covering the blanket for Wan Bao who had kicked it away. Seeing Xiao Ying coming over, she said softly, “Miss Ying, Wan Bao is asleep.”

“Is everything alright?”

“Yes.”

Xiao Ying walked to the bed and looked at Wan Bao, who was lying on the bed. The little girl’s face was red and glossy, her breathing was even and she was sleeping soundly. In what way was she uncomfortable?

Xiao Ying went to the bathroom to wash her hands before she sat on the bed and caressed the little girl’s head.

Everything was normal.

If that was the case, why had Long Ming called her?

Did he… want to find a reason to meet her?Did he remember something?

At the thought of this possibility, Xiao Ying’s heart started beating faster.

Coming out of Wan Bao’s room, Xiao Ying went downstairs. After hearing the commotion upstairs, Long Ming happened to come up from downstairs.

Seeing Xiao Ying, Long Ming’s cold expression seemed a little unnatural. “I asked you to come because Wan Bao called for her mommy in her sleep. Don’t overthink it.”

Hearing his words, Xiao Ying felt both bemused and angry.

“What am I overthinking about?” Xiao Ying’s expression was calm and there were no emotions on her pretty face. “If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving.”

Without looking at Long Ming again, Xiao Ying planned to leave.

But she had just taken a step when her fair wrist was grabbed by a strong force.

Xiao Ying looked down, furrowing her eyebrows as she stared at the hand that was holding her wrist tightly. “Long Ming, aren’t you very conflicted?”

Long Ming did not know why he had held her hand to not let her leave. He was unhappy and wanted to find an outlet to vent his anger.

With a dark expression, he pulled her upstairs.Xiao Ying’s stomach churned after being dragged by him.

“Long Ming, let go. I don’t feel well…”

The man turned a deaf ear.

“I’m going to vomit… Ugh…”

A few seconds later.

The man, who was covered in vomit, had a dark expression.

F*ck!

He really wanted to strangle her to death!

Xiao Ying looked at his disheveled appearance and wanted to laugh. “It’s not my fault. Who asked you to hold on to me?”

Long Ming shouted for the butler angrily and ordered, “Don’t let this woman leave without my permission!”

…

Long Ming went to the master bedroom to take a bath while Xiao Ying headed to the guest room.

Long Mei brought a set of her clothes over.

After Xiao Ying came out of the shower, she was drying her hair when the door was pushed open.

A man wearing a navy blue nightgown walked in.

Seeing his sharp and cold eyes, Xiao Ying thought that he had come to beat her up. In the end, she saw that he was holding an exquisite porcelain cup.

“Drink it.” He handed her the cup.

Xiao Ying glanced into the cup. It should be hangover tea.

Xiao Ying looked at the man suspiciously. “Are you concerned about me?”

“Don’t flatter yourself. I just don’t want to see you drunk.”

Looking at his cold and awkward expression, Xiao Ying took the porcelain cup, turned around, and started drinking it.

Her figure was reflected in the French windows.

He saw her lips curl up slightly.

Long Ming’s gaze on her darkened.

For the past few days, he had felt like his heart had been emptied.

He did not know what was wrong with him. He had become even more irritable and unpredictable. But now, seeing the smile on her lips, his restless and uneasy heart seemed to be slowly soothed.

As if he had been bewitched by something, he walked forward unconsciously, his long arms hugging the woman from behind.

The moment he hugged her, Xiao Ying almost dropped the cup in her hand to the ground.

There were two long hands clasped around her waist, her back pressed against his broad and firm chest. The man’s refreshing breath blew over and Xiao Ying’s heart sped up, as if it was going to jump out of her chest.
