Chapter 1680: Won’t Force Her Anymore

Tang En’s death not only made Xiao Ying sad.

It also made Long Ming feel heavy.

He suddenly started to be afraid. If he forced Xiao Ying to stay by his side, would she choose to leave like Tang En one day to get the freedom she wanted?

After the Young Master saw Tang En’s ashes scattered into the sea, he knelt by the sea and screamed.

However, no matter how painful it was, he could not save Tang En’s life!

Long Ming’s deep gaze landed on Xiao Ying’s palm-sized face. He flicked the cigarette ash and gestured for her to sit down.

Xiao Ying placed the desserts she had prepared on the round table and looked up at Long Ming. “Thank you for today. How’s the injury on your arm?”

Long Ming pursed his lips. “It’s alright.”

He put out the cigar and sat opposite her.

The two of them were silent for a moment before he spoke up, his voice low and hoarse. “I’ve already informed the butler to send Wan Bao and the nanny to R Country.”

His well-defined facial features were covered by a layer of warm light from the overhead lights, but his expression was rather sharp and indifferent. “If you don’t want to be involved in the royal family project, you can return to R Country. I won’t force you in the future.”

Xiao Ying looked at Long Ming’s dark expression and hummed softly.Senior Tang En’s departure had dealt her a blow. Her mood was still at rock bottom and she did not have the energy to figure out his thoughts.

“You’re tired too. Go back and rest!”

Xiao Ying stood up from the chair. “Then I’ll leave first. Thank you very much for today.”

Xiao Ying walked toward the door.

When she was about to reach the door, a grip tightened around her wrist.

The man’s rough fingers caressed her delicate skin, making her shiver slightly.

She turned around and looked at the man who was chasing after her.

His gaze was very deep, like a black hole in the universe, wanting to suck her in.

His lips moved and he said to her, “Live well.”

Xiao Ying felt a lump in her throat and she nodded. “I still have Wan Bao. I will live well. You have the royal family and the country. The responsibilities on your shoulders are even heavier. You have to live well too.”

Bit by bit, he let go of her wrist.

…After Xiao Ying left, Mo Tian went to Long Ming’s room.

Mo Tian stared at Long Ming, who was sitting by the round table and eating the snacks Xiao Ying had brought. He said worriedly, “Your Majesty, we offended the Young Master today. I’m worried that he will work with Long Di, who has always wanted to regain his power. Will it be disadvantageous to you then?”

Long Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold smirk appearing on his lips as a low laugh escaped from his throat. “I, Long Ming, have experienced all kinds of things. When have I ever been afraid?”

…

In a flash, two months passed.

Xiao Ying’s heavy and sad mood slowly improved.

But at the thought of Tang En, she still felt that he was by her side and was not separated from her.

Two days ago, Xiao Ying had dreamed of Tang En.

He told her that he was doing well there and told her not to worry. He would be in the sky, protecting her and Wan Bao silently.

Xiao Ying returned to the project department to work. Sister Wen valued the project with the royal family, so she went to the branch company personally.

Xiao Ying’s life returned to normal.

However, Tang En was missing.Xiao Ying did not tell Wan Bao that Tang En had passed away. The little girl had deep affection for Tang En and would ask her every few days when Tang En would return from his business trip.

Xiao Ying always used Tang En’s busy work as an excuse. Every time she lied to Wan Bao, her eyes would turn red.

One day, she picked up Wan Bao from school and she asked about Tang En again.

“Mommy, Papa has been away for a long time. This weekend, the teacher asked Papa and Mama to attend the Parent-Child Sports Day, but my Papa did not come back.”

“Baby, Papa can’t come back for the time being. We have to understand Papa. He’s working very hard!”

Wan Bao pouted. “But Papa isn’t back yet. How can he attend Wan Bao’s Parent-Child Sports Day?”

Xiao Ying looked at the smiling baby and reached out to touch her head. “Mommy will attend it.”

Back at home, Wan Bao ran to her princess room.

She took out her child’s phone and made a call.

The call was picked up after two or three rings.

“Wan Bao?” The man’s low and magnetic voice sounded from the other end of the call.

When Wan Bao was in the palace, she had exchanged phone numbers with the cool uncle.Every week, she would call the cool uncle secretly and report her and Mommy’s situation to him.

“Cool uncle, are you busy?”

Long Ming, who was on the other end of the call, was attending a banquet.

The person who held the banquet was an elder in the palace. His son had done something that harmed the interests of the royal family and had been sentenced to a heavy sentence. He had found several young and beautiful girls and was holding this banquet to give them to Long Ming to appease him and let his son off.

Long Ming was reprimanding them with a cold expression. After he became the most noble king, he had already ordered to such customs of giving women as gifts.

The atmosphere of the banquet was originally cold and gloomy. Everyone was trembling in fear when Long Ming suddenly answered a call.

His expression changed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His cold expression softened and even his voice became softer. “What’s wrong?”

“This weekend, our school is holding a parent and child activity, but my Papa went abroad for work. Mommy said that he won’t be back for the time being. Every other kid’s father will be there. If you are free, can you come?”

Long Ming took his phone and walked out of the banquet hall. “I have an important itinerary this weekend. I can’t give Wan Bao a definite answer yet.”

Wan Bao was not an unreasonable child. She replied obediently, “If you’re busy, it’s fine if you don’t come. But you have to send me delicious chocolate.”

“Sure.”Wan Bao said goodbye and was about to hang up when Long Ming could not help but ask, “How’s your mommy been recently?”

“I don’t know what happened to Mommy recently. Sometimes, she would cry in front of Papa Tang En’s photos. Maybe she misses Papa too much!”

Long Ming did not ask anything more. After reminding Wan Bao about some things, he ended the call.

…

It was the weekend.

Xiao Ying and Wan Bao wore matching outfits.

She put on exquisite makeup for herself. After all, this was the first first parent and child activity she was attending. Of course, she could not embarrass her.

By the time Xiao Ying and Wan Bao arrived at the kindergarten, most of their parents were already there.

Seeing that only her mother was here, many parents looked at Xiao Ying with strange and scrutinizing gazes.

Xiao Ying was too beautiful. Although she was only wearing a simple t-shirt and black tights, her eyes were beautiful and exquisite like a painting. Her figure was slender and exquisite.

She didn’t look like a woman who had given birth to a child. She was simply like a fairy from the Jade Pool, making people fall in love with her.
