Chapter 1769: Xiao Ying and Long Ming’s Ending (12)

Wan Bao was Xiao Ying’s weakness.

She could not stand the girl pouting or acting coquettishly. Her soft and cuddly appearance made her want to dote on the latter.

Xiao Ying pulled Wan Bao into her arms and tapped the tip of her nose. “Okay, Mommy will stay here for a few days, but…” Xiao Ying glanced at the man who was eating breakfast. His expression was calm and cold, as if he had not heard their conversation.

Wan Bao hugged Xiao Ying’s neck and asked childishly, “Mommy, are you afraid that Daddy won’t agree?”

Before Xiao Ying could say anything, she heard Wan Bao say, “No, Daddy said that I’m the boss at home now!”

The young girl patted her chest, looking proud. “Daddy and Mommy have to listen to the boss!”

Xiao Ying could not help but laugh at Wan Bao’s words.

After breakfast, Xiao Ying personally sent Wan Bao to kindergarten.

She was on leave for the next few days and did not have to work at the company. She went to the apartment she had rented and packed a few clothes before heading to the palace.

Seeing Xiao Ying coming over, the butler said to her, “Miss Ying, the King instructed you to drink this.”

The butler brought a bowl of black stuff over and Xiao Ying sniffed it. It smelled a little like Chinese medicine.“What is this?” Xiao Ying asked in confusion.

“The King doesn’t want us to tell you.” The butler looked at Xiao Ying with a troubled expression. “The King only said that you will know once you see it.”

Xiao Ying thought about what happened last night…

Her face slowly darkened.

She pursed her lips tightly, her eyes turning cold as she gritted her teeth. “He’s really considerate.” He could arrange things for her that she had forgotten.

She did not plan to have any more children now that she had Wan Bao.

Xiao Ying took the bowl from the butler and was about to drink it when a sound came from the staircase.

Xiao Ying looked up and saw the man coming down from upstairs.

Why was he still in the palace?

Long Ming was tying his tie and his eyes darkened when he saw Xiao Ying and the butler standing in the living room.

Xiao Ying passed the bowl to the butler and walked up to Long Ming. “Long Ming, don’t act like you’re innocent after taking advantage of me. Besides, I don’t need your concern in this way.”Long Ming raised his eyebrows slightly. “Why? Do you want to have another child?”

Xiao Ying had planned to buy the medicine herself later, but her heart still hurt slightly when he asked her to take the medicine so straightforwardly.

“Long Ming, you’re a b*stard!”

Long Ming smirked. “Women, many women want to get close to the b*stard you speak of, but they’re not as lucky as you. You should feel honored!”

With that said, he lifted her chin and before she could react, he lowered his head and kissed her cheek.

By the time Xiao Ying returned from her trance, he had already strode away.

Xiao Ying was furious.

She even wondered if he was torturing her like this on purpose.

When she woke up in the morning, he had called her ‘Ross’. Now, he was asking the butler to bring medicine for her?

“Miss Ying, the medicine will turn cold if you don’t take it.”

Xiao Ying took the bowl from the butler’s hand with a cold expression and downed the medicine.After drinking it, Xiao Ying carried her luggage and planned to leave.

She did not want to stay in this palace anymore.

In the afternoon, she would go to the kindergarten to pick up Wan Bao and bring her directly to her rented apartment.

Xiao Ying was about to leave when an old and gentle voice trailed over. “Miss Ying.”

Xiao Ying turned back and stopped when she saw the granny walking over with a cane.

“Miss Ying, the butler and the rest don’t dare to say it but let me tell you.” The old lady looked at Xiao Ying with a kind gaze. “Ah Ming got someone to make that medicine for you is to nourish your body. A few days ago, a famous Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor came to the palace and Ah Ming got him to prescribe some medicine for me. He also got him to prescribe some tonic for you.”

“It’s good for your body.”

Xiao Ying was speechless.

The old lady looked at Xiao Ying’s stunned expression and smiled. “I can tell that Ah Ming still likes you a lot.”

Xiao Ying looked at the butler, who looked helpless. “The King didn’t let us say it.”

Xiao Ying was speechless.That fellow was deliberately making her misunderstand him!

Afraid that Xiao Ying would really leave, the butler hurriedly brought her luggage upstairs.

…

Xiao Ying helped the old lady to the sofa.

The old lady’s health had not been too good recently and the doctor said that she was overly worried.

“Yiyi hasn’t called me for a few days. I called her, but she didn’t answer.” The granny was thinking about Liu Yiyi.

Xiao Ying felt that this Liu Yiyi was too much. When she felt that the old lady was useful, she would coax the old lady and pretend to be obedient and filial.

Now that she had become the daughter of the Duke and had a high status, she felt that the old lady was worthless and did not even answer her calls.

“Miss Ying, do you think anything will happen to Yiyi?”

“She’s doing well,” Xiao Ying replied.

The old lady sighed. “I want to go and see her. I have some things to ask her, but I’m illiterate. Miss Ying, can you bring me to Yiyi?”“If Granny wants to go, you can get the butler to send you there.”

“Ah Ming said that my body is not well and doesn’t want me to leave the palace.”

Xiao Ying looked at the old lady’s red eyes and knew that she really missed Liu Yiyi. After a moment of silence, she nodded. “Alright, I’ll bring you to her.”

Before she drove to the Duke’s palace, Xiao Ying called Liu Yiyi.

The call went through.

After finding out that Xiao Ying had brought the old lady to find her, Liu Yiyi said, “I’m at Moon Lake Park. If there’s anything, you can find me there!”

Xiao Ying drove to Moon Lake Park.

Liu Yiyi was standing by the lake in the park. When she saw Xiao Ying and the old lady coming over, a trace of unhappiness flashed past her face.

Was that woman trying to make use of Granny because she had chased her out, and because she could not get the love of the Duke and his wife?

It was a pity that Brother Long Ming would not listen to her at all although the old lady had a certain status with him.

When the granny saw Liu Yiyi, a smile appeared on her face. She wanted to caress Liu Yiyi’s face, but Liu Yiyi avoided it with disdain. “Just speak, don’t touch my face. Cosmetics are very expensive.”

When Xiao Ying heard Liu Yiyi’s words, a trace of coldness flashed past her eyes. “Liu Yiyi, she’s your granny.”

Liu Yiyi glared at Xiao Ying. “I feel uncomfortable seeing you. You’d better stay away from me. If anything happens, my parents won’t let you off.”

“Also, I’m talking to Granny now. Please turn around and stay away from us!”

Xiao Ying couldn’t be bothered with Liu Yiyi and she walked forward.

Liu Yiyi only looked at the old lady after Xiao Ying walked away. “Why are you looking for me?”

The granny looked at Liu Yiyi, who had a 180-degree change in attitude, and sadness flashed past her eyes. “I wanted to ask why you suddenly became the daughter of the Duke? Was it because of that jade pendant?”
