Chapter 1759: Xiao Ying and Long Ming’s Ending (2)
The pretty young girl jumped into Long Ming’s arms.
Long Ming was at a loss.
Although he had yet to remember how this squishy little ball had come to be, he felt like his heart was about to melt when he heard her call him ‘Daddy’ so softly.
When other children saw him, they would be frightened by his coldness and indifference.
But his own daughter was willing to be close to him.
Long Ming’s cold expression softened.
Raising his hand, he caressed the young girl’s head. “How have you been recently?”
Leaning against the bed, Wan Bao looked at Long Ming’s handsome face and nodded. “Grandpa and Grandma are very good to me, but I can’t listen to Daddy’s stories every day. I really want to live with Daddy!”
“When I’m discharged, I’ll bring you back to the palace.”
With that said, Long Ming glanced at the door of the ward.
He did not see anyone apart from Long Mei, who was following behind Wan Bao. That woman was nowhere to be seen.
“You came with Auntie Mei?”
How could Wan Bao understand that Long Ming wanted to know about her mommy’s condition? Shaking her head, she said, “Mommy came too, but she didn’t come up.”
Wan Bao blinked her big eyes. “Daddy, were you asleep for too long that you made Mommy angry?”
Long Ming was speechless. She was the one who had made him angry. He had been lying in the hospital for so long and she had come only once?
That woman was not at all sincere toward him!
Long Mei saw the change in Long Ming’s expression and when she saw Wan Bao mention Xiao Ying, his expression turned cold and dark. She carried Wan Bao away and said coldly, “Brother, don’t be stubborn. You clearly want to see Sister-in-law, but you’re still acting!”
Long Ming’s expression turned even colder. “Who said I want to see her? It’s best if a woman like her doesn’t appear in front of me! She’s always attracting the attention of men and she almost harmed my daughter.”
Xiao Ying stood downstairs for a while before she could not help but come up.
She happened to hear Long Ming’s words to Long Mei.
A trace of sadness flashed past Xiao Ying’s eyes.
The two of them had cooperated perfectly with Tang En. She had thought that his impression of her would change.
It seemed like she had been too naive.
Xiao Ying looked down, preparing to leave when she b.u.mped into the nurse pus.h.i.+ng the cart.
“Miss, are you alright?” The nurse spoke first.
Xiao Ying shook her head. “I’m sorry for b.u.mping into you.”
Hearing Xiao Ying’s voice, Long Ming furrowed his eyebrows.
After a few seconds, he saw that the nurse had come in, but the woman was nowhere to be seen. He looked at the nurse sharply. “Where’s the woman who b.u.mped into you?”
“She left!”
Sh*t!
Long Ming cursed softly.
It seemed like she had heard what he had said to Long Mei.
Long Ming lifted the blanket and got off the bed.
“Your Majesty, you need to get your injection.”
Long Ming seemed to have not heard the nurse’s words as he limped out of the ward.
However, he had yet to recover from his leg injury, so there was no way he could outrun Xiao Ying. By the time he reached the elevator, the door was already closed.
Long Ming’s expression was extremely dark.
Returning to the ward, Long Ming said darkly when he saw Long Mei sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, a faint smile on her face, “Tell her that I don’t want to see her again.”
Long Mei knew that her brother was too proud, and had said those words on purpose. However, she did not give him a way out. Instead, she made him angry. “Fine, if you don’t want to see her, then don’t. Anyway, my sister-in-law is beautiful and capable. There’s no need for her to worry about having no suitors.”
Long Mei’s heart had been broken by men. She hated seeing men who didn’t cherish their women the most! Even if he was her brother, she would not help him!
Hearing Long Mei’s words, Long Ming’s gaze changed.
Long Mei stood up from the sofa. “Brother, rest well. I’ll bring Wan Bao home.”
Long Ming stared at Long Mei’s figure, wanting to say something, but stopped himself.
Long Mei walked out of the ward and leaned against the window. She could not help smiling when she saw Long Ming’s face turning green from anger.
…
Downstairs.
Long Mei led Wan Bao to Xiao Ying.
After hearing Long Ming’s words, her expression had darkened slightly.
Long Mei whispered to her, “Actually, he said it out of anger. He was furious that you didn’t go up!”
Xiao Ying sighed. “I won’t appear in front of him for the time being.”
She had plenty of time. He did not remember what had happened after the battle in the forest, so it was best for her to avoid him!
Now that she had the care and love of the couple, she felt the warmth of family and was not in a hurry for Long Ming to marry her.
Seeing that Xiao Ying understood, Long Mei smiled and said, “We women have to be like this. If men don’t treat us well, we’ll kick them away. But Sister-in-law, when my brother remembers, you still have to be good to him!”
Xiao Ying was amused by Long Mei’s words. “I’ll always be here. I won’t run away.”
…
When Long Mei returned to the palace, the butler told her that C Country’s Second Prince had arrived.
This Second Prince was really smitten by Little Blackie.
A few days ago, when he returned to the country, he had called her repeatedly to ask for Little Blackie’s contact.
Long Mei did not want him to be delusional, so she confessed to him. “Second Prince, Little Blackie is actually a friend of mine. She likes my brother. She disguised herself as a maid to pursue my brother.”
When the Second Prince heard that Little Blackie liked Long Ming, he felt that it was reasonable and was a little sad.
Long Ming was indeed outstanding. Many women in their country admired him.
“Miss Long, since Little Blackie already has your brother in her heart, I won’t force her. However, she’s very charming. I still want to be friends with her.”
Looking at the Second Prince’s sincere eyes, Long Mei thought of her brother’s cold and arrogant appearance and felt that she should add fuel to the fire. She did not believe that he could tolerate seeing her sister-in-law with another man.
Besides, the Second Prince was also an outstanding person.
Long Mei gave Xiao Ying’s contact details to the Second Prince.
…
At the Duke’s palace.
When Xiao Ying found out that the Second Prince had come to find her, she was a little surprised.
Picking up her phone, she saw that Long Mei had sent her a message.
“Sister-in-law, I’ve already told the Second Prince that you like my brother. He only wants to be friends with you. I think he’s quite sincere and it’s not bad to be friends.”
After reading the message, Xiao Ying went downstairs.
Hearing the noise, the Second Prince, who was drinking tea and chatting with the Duke on the living room sofa, looked toward Xiao Ying.
Xiao Ying was wearing a small v-neck black dress. The beads that she had sewn with her bare hands were sparkling and the fitting cut made her figure look even more graceful and smooth. Her exquisite collarbones were slightly exposed and the lines of her neck and shoulders were beautiful and moving.
The moment she walked down the stairs, the Second Prince was dazed for a moment.
There was only one thought in his mind: she was so beautiful.
…
In the hospital.
Long Ming’s expression was dark for the entire day. When Mo Tian brought the doc.u.ment to the ward for him to sign, he had been frightened by Long Ming’s cold aura.
