Chapter 1737: Heartbreak
Ever since they met, she had been hurting him nonstop.
They had finally opened up their hearts to each other and wanted to forget about the bad things in the past to start afresh. But now, everything had returned to the beginning.
If she stabbed him in the heart today, he might still be able to survive. But he would probably never forgive her in this lifetime!
Xiao Ying gritted her teeth. Before she could do anything, her heart started to ache.
Long Ming stared at Xiao Ying’s fair face, which was flushed red from the scorching sun. His dark eyes under the sungla.s.ses revealed pity and heartache.
He took two steps forward, his tall body casting a shadow in front of her, blocking the scorching sunlight for her.
“How have you been recently?” he asked hoa.r.s.ely.
Xiao Ying clenched her hands into fists, her fingers pressing into her palms as she nodded. “I’m alright. How’s Wan Bao?”
Long Ming pursed his lips into a straight line, his voice slightly hoa.r.s.e. “I’m sorry, I didn’t protect her properly.”
No, it was not his fault!
He had already protected Wan Bao very well. Every day, he arranged for elite bodyguards to pick Wan Bao up. It was Wan Bao who liked Papa Tang En too much. Once he appeared, she was defenseless.
If she had not seen through Tang En’s true colors, Xiao Ying would not have believed that Tang En would lay his hands on Wan Bao.
Looking at Xiao Ying’s face that had lost a lot of weight and her red and swollen eyes, Long Ming really wanted to reach out and give her a hug. However, their purpose for coming over was to save Wan Bao.
If anything happened to Wan Bao, what was the point of them being alive?
“Long Ming… I’m sorry.” Xiao Ying’s eyelashes fluttered terribly and her heart was in a mess. “I can’t live without Wan Bao.”
Long Ming put his hands on Xiao Ying’s trembling shoulders, his dark eyes under the sungla.s.ses completely red. “I know that it’s fine no matter what you do. Wan Bao is equally important to me.”
Xiao Ying’s hands were in her pockets.
She grabbed the sharp dagger.
However, she could not muster any strength.
She could not take it out.
She loved Wan Bao, but this man in front of her was Wan Bao’s father!
Seeing the pain on Xiao Ying’s face, Long Ming’s eyes under the sungla.s.ses darkened. He grabbed Xiao Ying’s hand and felt that there was a dagger in her pocket. He pulled her hand out.
Seeing his actions, Xiao Ying’s lips trembled. “Did you know… that I’m going to…” Kill you today?
Long Ming said nothing, only pulling her hand and pressing the sharp blade against his chest.
Xiao Ying’s hand trembled nonstop, her fingertips turning cold.
The temperature in the desert was clearly sky-high, but now, she felt like she had fallen into an igloo.
Xiao Ying could no longer pretend to be indifferent. She felt like her heart was breaking and her lips were trembling terribly. “Do you know what will happen to you after I stab you?”
She raised her other hand, wanting to take off his sungla.s.ses, but he avoided her.
He did not want her to see his gaze now.
He was suffering as much as she was.
“Long Ming, I’m the one who dragged you down.” Xiao Ying’s voice trembled terribly.
“I don’t blame you.”
Xiao Ying let out a painful scream.
How could he not?
She had almost killed him time and time again. She was his jinx!
Xiao Ying’s fingers that were holding the dagger were trembling and she could not bring herself to do it.
Long Ming looked at Xiao Ying deeply. Suddenly, he grabbed her hand and stabbed his heart.
The tip of the knife stabbed into him ruthlessly.
Xiao Ying was close enough to hear the sound of the blade sinking into his flesh.
All of her hair stood on end.
He had come to the desert and was still dressed in black. Blood flowed out onto the sharp blade and soaked his s.h.i.+rt.
The bright red blood blended with his black s.h.i.+rt. It was hard to tell how much blood he had lost, but the blood at the tip of his nose slowly became thicker.
Xiao Ying struggled out of his hold and staggered a few steps back.
“Don’t be afraid,” he comforted her softly.
Xiao Ying knelt on the ground, looking in the direction of the surveillance cameras as she shouted hoa.r.s.ely, “Are you satisfied? Are you happy to see me stab him personally? You’re not human!”
If he was really the Young Master, perhaps she would not be so angry!
The bodyguards helped Xiao Ying up and one of the bodyguards threw a medicine bottle to Long Ming before taking Xiao Ying away.
Long Ming looked in the direction Xiao Ying had left in and a tear fell from the corner of his eye.
Xiao Ying was pushed into the helicopter. After the helicopter left, Long Ming pressed on the injured area and staggered toward another helicopter.
At this moment, countless helicopters sounded in the air.
Long Ming looked up and saw several helicopters flying over.
Not only had Long Ming seen it, Xiao Ying had also seen it. She looked at the bodyguards beside her. “Why are there so many helicopters? Whose men are they?”
The bodyguards were rather calm.
No, something was wrong.
If they were Long Ming’s men, the bodyguards would not be so calm.
In other words, Tang En had sent people over.
What he wanted was not only for her to stab Long Ming, but also for Long Ming to die in the Sahara Desert.
If he were to die in such a harsh environment, he would be buried by the sandstorm very soon. Then, there would be nothing left of him, and he would be nowhere to be found.
He was too ruthless!
“Stop! I want to go down!”
“You’ll die if you go down!” The bodyguard looked at Xiao Ying. “Young Master said to think about your daughter. The medicine this time can only get her out of the ICU. If you don’t listen, everything you did today will be useless!”
“He wants Long Ming to die now! If Long Ming doesn’t die, the medicine will be gone!”
“If he dies, the Young Master will bring your daughter over. As long as you listen to him, she will be safe.”
Xiao Ying’s pupils constricted.
The helicopter flew higher and higher and she saw Long Ming being surrounded by dozens of men in black.
He had already been stabbed once and now, he was surrounded by so many people. Would he still survive?
Seeing her bloodshot eyes, the bodyguard beside Xiao Ying hit the back of her neck.
…
No!
No!
She looked at the man lying on the desert, bleeding profusely. She went forward and knelt beside him, her fingers reaching for his nose.
He was no longer breathing.
“Long Ming, wake up. Don’t die…”
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry…”
Her eyes widened and her face turned pale. Her heart was in so much pain it felt like it was going to stop beating.
Tears kept falling from her eyes. Suddenly, it seemed like the sky was going to turn dark, as if the end of the world was coming. She would no longer be able to see the sun tomorrow. Despair, pain, anger… All sorts of emotions surged within her and she cried out in pain, “Ah…”
Opening her eyes suddenly, she looked at the intricate and luxurious ceiling and tasted the salty taste of tears in her lips.
