Chapter 1741: Scram! Don’t Appear In Front of Me Again

The man narrowed his eyes like a cheetah that had found its prey, his sharp gaze moving across Xiao Ying’s body. That gaze made Xiao Ying feel like he wanted to cut her flesh off.

After the battle in the forest, Xiao Ying had beem taken away by Ba Er and had not seen Long Ming again.

That was why she did not know how he had felt after he woke up. But after meeting her many years later, he still hated her to the core. Not to mention that his current memories were only of the battle in the forest.

Long Ming stared at Xiao Ying for a few seconds before he turned to look at the Duke’s wife. “May I know why you’re so anxious to see me today?”

The Duke’s wife grabbed Xiao Ying’s hand and introduced her to Long Ming. “She’s my daughter, Long Ying.”

A cold smirk appeared on Long Ming’s lips. “Madam, she’s quite capable. Don’t be deceived by her appearance.”

The Duke’s wife looked at the unfamiliar and cold Long Ming and wanted to say something, but Xiao Ying suddenly said, “Long Ming, can I talk to you alone?”

Originally, Long Ming would have rejected her outright, but he narrowed his eyes. “Come to the study with me.”

Seeing Long Ming’s cold attitude, the Duke’s wife was worried that Xiao Ying was in danger. Xiao Ying grabbed the Duke’s wife’s hand and comforted her. “Mom, don’t worry.”

The Duke’s wife could only nod and let Xiao Ying follow Long Ming to the study.

The moment she entered the study, Xiao Ying felt a dangerous murderous intent.

The door of the study was kicked shut by Long Ming and only Long Ming and Xiao Ying were left in the quiet room.The space was huge, but it felt suffocating.

Xiao Ying stared at Long Ming’s cold eyes. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something when he suddenly approached her with a dark expression.

Xiao Ying’s slender back pressed against the door.

The man stared at her coldly. “I didn’t expect you to still dare to appear in front of me!”

“Long Ming, listen to me…” Before she could finish, her slender neck was grabbed by his steel-like hand.

Xiao Ying’s face turned purple in an instant. He was strong and rough, her slender neck seemed to have been broken by him.

Xiao Ying could have pulled his hand away, but she did not move, letting him strangle her.

She knew that he needed to vent his emotions at this time.

The moment she came back, she was already prepared.

Seeing that she did not resist or beg for mercy, his gaze was sharp and cold, like a demon from hell. “You still have the guts to appear in front of me?”

Xiao Ying found it hard to breathe. “Long Ming, the battle in the forest is over. You’ve already forgiven me…”

Before she could finish, he waved her away.She fell to the ground without warning.

Her neck and limbs hurt.

Staring at the man who was like a demon from hell, Xiao Ying’s lips trembled. “It’s true. Don’t you know that we already have a daughter…”

“Ha.” A strong hatred spread in Long Ming’s dark eyes. He crouched down, his long fingers pinching her chin like a pair of metal pincers. “Would I let a woman like you get pregnant with my child? Even if you did, you must have found a way to trick me to get it done!”

“Do you think I’ll fall for your tricks again? To be deceived and used by you?”

Seeing how he looked like he wanted to cut her into pieces, Xiao Ying pursed her pale lips.

The hatred in his eyes was terrifyingly cold.

Just when she thought that her jaw was about to be crushed by him, he let go of her.

Taking out a clean handkerchief from his pocket, he wiped his long fingers as if he had touched something disgusting. His thin lips spat out ruthlessly and coldly. “Scram! Don’t appear in my sight again!”

Xiao Ying knew that he was already showing her the greatest mercy by telling her to scram and not taking her life directly.

Xiao Ying looked at his sharp and cold face and wanted to say something, but he looked at her coldly. “If you don’t scram, don’t blame me for being rude to you!”

Xiao Ying’s neck was still in so much pain that she definitely could not withstand another round of torture from him.She had only come today to find out how much he hated her. Now that she knew how much he hated her, she could only approach him in other ways.

Xiao Ying looked down and walked out of the study.

…

Xiao Ying walked to the stairs and met Mo Tian, who was taking some documents upstairs.

Seeing Mo Tian, Xiao Ying was a little surprised, but also felt that it was reasonable.

Now, Long Ming’s memories were only of the battle in the secluded forest. Naturally, he did not remember what Mo Tian had done.

However, Mo Tian had also been used for Long Di’s usurpation. He had always been loyal to Long Ming.

When Mo Tian saw Xiao Ying, he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Xiao Ying looked down, saying nothing.

After walking down two steps, Mo Tian turned back and said to Xiao Ying, “Miss Ying, I will help you.”

When Xiao Ying looked at Mo Tian, he was already upstairs.

…Mo Tian walked to the door of the study.

He raised her hand and knocked on the door.

He only pushed the door open when a cold voice sounded from inside.

He saw a man standing in front of the French windows, puffing out smoke. His back seemed to be covered with a layer of haze and coldness. Mo Tian walked over and said carefully, “Your Majesty.”

Long Ming did not turn back. “What’s the matter?”

Mo Tian handed the document to Long Ming.

After Long Ming finished reading the document and signed it, Mo Tian stood in front of the desk and said carefully, “Your Majesty, I just saw Miss Ying.”

Crash!

Long Ming threw the fountain pen on the table.

He looked at Mo Tian with dark and cold eyes. “I told you not to mention this person in front of me again.”

Mo Tian looked at Long Ming’s stormy expression and he mustered up his courage to say, “Your Majesty, actually many things happened after the battle in the secluded forest. Miss Ying also did a lot for Your Majesty. Your Majesty was able to reach this position because of Miss Ying…”

Before Mo Tian could finish, he was interrupted by Long Ming’s cold voice. “So what if it was her? A woman like her deserves to die! Do you still want to say that I fell in love with her? Ha, even if she exchanged her life for mine, I will never fall in love with her again!”That woman was really capable. Not only had she gotten close to the Duke’s family, she had even got his confidants to speak for her. What kind of spell had she casted on them?

“Say one more word for her and you won’t need to appear in front of me again!”

Seeing Long Ming’s cold expression, Mo Tian did not say anything else.

…

In order to not let the Duke’s wife worry, Xiao Ying went downstairs to the washroom.

She applied a layer of foundation on the strangulation marks on her neck. When they were no longer visible, she walked to the Duchess’ side.

“Ying’er, did the King make things difficult for you?”

Xiao Ying shook her head. “No.”

The Duke’s wife thought of Long Ming’s gaze when he looked at Xiao Ying and she broke out in cold sweat on Xiao Ying’s behalf. “Ying’er, why don’t you listen to me? You can come and find him after the blood clot in the King’s brain dissipates or after he undergoes surgery, alright?”
