Chapter 1698: Their Relationship

Not only did Long Ming feel afraid, Xiao Ying felt the same.

If the taxi had not broken down and the driver had not gotten a heart attack, then she might have been blown up.

Xiao Ying felt that it was not a simple coincidence that the taxi had broken down and the driver had a heart attack. However, her head was dizzy and she could not think too deeply.

Long Ming finally let go of Xiao Ying.

Xiao Ying took a few breaths of fresh air. At the thought that they were surrounded by people, she hurriedly took a few steps back. “Will what we did just now affect you negatively?”

Long Ming stared at Xiao Ying with his deep hawk-like eyes. Reaching out his long arm, he lifted her up horizontally.

Caught off guard, Xiao Ying’s heart skipped a beat as he carried her. She clenched her fists and punched his shoulders. “Long Ming, what are you doing? There are so many pairs of eyes watching us.”

There was no one else in Long Ming’s eyes. He stared at Xiao Ying with a deep gaze. “I’ve never cared about what others think.”

He let the bodyguards lead the way and carried her into the luxurious car with steady steps.

Xiao Ying did not dare to look at the crowd’s eyes. She buried her face into Long Ming’s muscular chest until he put her into the car.

Her bag and luggage had been in the taxi, and her passport and plane tickets had all been destroyed.

She needed time to restore them even with Long Ming’s help.She was broke and had no status here, and could only follow Long Ming’s arrangements for the time being.

Long Ming took a clean towel from the boot and came over. He wiped Xiao Ying’s hair and wrapped the towel around her.

He started the engine, his well-defined hands on the steering wheel.

Xiao Ying looked at Long Ming’s handsome side profile and said suspiciously, “The taxi wouldn’t explode for no reason. Is it Long Di?”

Hearing Xiao Ying mention Long Di, Long Ming’s well-defined face tensed up at the thought of her disregarding the danger and acting on her own. After the fear and worry from before disappeared, he looked extremely cold and stern.

“Because you put a tracker in his hair, he put a miniature bomb in your bag. If anything went wrong, you would have lost your life!”

Xiao Ying pursed her lips. “I just want to help you.”

“I don’t need your help,” he shouted with a straight face.

Xiao Ying was stunned by his sudden outburst.

He was usually too serious and when he was angry, it made people shudder.

There was a moment of silence and stiffness in the car.

The man’s expression was dark.Xiao Ying wanted to say something to him. After all, she felt that she had done nothing wrong. She dared to approach Long Di again because she was confident.

Although she had almost been blown up, wasn’t she still in his car?

The two of them were silent for a long time. Long Ming glanced sideways at the woman whose eyes were lowered. “Do you know your mistake now? Do you still dare to take the risk next time?”

“If you need me to do anything next time, I will still do it.”

Hearing her words, Long Ming was furious.

He simply ignored her.

There was silence in the car. Xiao Ying stared at his cold side profile. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something as the car drove into the palace.

When she was about to reach his bedroom, Xiao Ying saw a luxurious sports car from afar.

Seeing that Long Ming had driven back, the person in the sports car pushed open the door and got out.

It was Lou Lan.

She was wearing a set of home clothes, which was quite different from her usual cold and arrogant appearance. Her exquisite face was still covered with tears.

Xiao Ying glanced at Long Ming.Although she understood Long Ming’s feelings for her, she still felt awkward now that Lou Lan had seen her in his car.

In the eyes of the royal family and the citizens, Lou Lan was his legitimate fiancée.

“She should have something to say to you. I’ll stay in the car and not go down.”

Hearing Xiao Ying’s words, Long Ming glanced at her coldly. “You’re not a mistress. Why are you feeling guilty?”

Xiao Ying glared at him speechlessly. “You haven’t annulled your engagement with her.”

“Get out.”

“No.”

“I’ll carry you.”

“No… I’ll get out, okay?”

Long Ming took out his phone and made a call, instructing the butler to bring Xiao Ying to his bedroom.

“Go take a bath first.”

Under his firm gaze, Xiao Ying could only get out of the car. Lou Lan walked over and Long Ming blocked Xiao Ying. Before Lou Lan could see Xiao Ying’s face clearly, she was brought in by the butler.Lou Lan almost laughed in anger.

She had never seen such a brazen vixen!

If it wasn’t for her good upbringing and her understanding image in front of Long Ming, she would have rushed over and torn the vixen’s face apart.

…

The butler brought Xiao Ying to Long Ming’s bedroom.

She was not unfamiliar with this place, but she felt like it was a lifetime ago when she had visited.

She had once thought that she would never have anything to do with Long Ming again.

“Miss Ying, go take a bath first. I’ll go downstairs and get the servants to make ginger tea for you and the King.”

“Thank you.”

Xiao Ying walked into the dressing room that was connected to the bedroom. Looking at the rows of exquisite and luxurious shirts inside, she picked one up.

After showering, she came out wearing a black shirt.

After talking to Lou Lan, Long Ming returned to the bedroom and saw the woman standing in front of the French windows.Xiao Ying was holding a cup of ginger tea and was wearing a large black shirt. Her slender legs were exposed and her skin was like a peeled egg, delicate and fair.

Her long wet hair fell over her shoulders. Perhaps it was because she had heard a sound that she turned around to look at him.

Her face was fair and pretty, and her fox-like eyes were charming and moist from the steam.

She looked pure and beautiful, like a daffodil that was emitting a faint fragrance.

Long Ming strode over and Xiao Ying pointed at the other cup of ginger tea the butler had placed on the table. “Drink it quickly and go take a bath.”

Long Ming acted like he did not hear her. He walked in front of her, grabbed her hand and brought the cup she was holding to his lips.

He took a sip of ginger tea from where she had drunk it.

Seeing his actions, a faint blush appeared on Xiao Ying’s delicate face.

“I’ve already drunk from it…” Seeing that he was staring at her deeply, she turned her face away and changed the topic. “I saw Lou Lan crying as she got into the car. Did you mention breaking off the engagement with her?”

“If Long Di hadn’t jumped out halfway and come back from your place, I would have mentioned it to her. I’ll go to the Lou family tomorrow and inform the elders of the Lou family and the other members of the royal family before announcing my relationship with you.”

He said it casually, but Xiao Ying felt her heart jump when she heard it.

“You just broke off your engagement with Lou Lan and you’re going to announce that you’re with me. It will definitely affect you negatively. I’m not in a hurry…”

“I’m in a hurry even if you’re not.” He caressed her face. “I’m anxious to give you and Wan Bao a home.”
