Chapter 1707: Her Woman Finally Fell for Him
Xiao Ying left extremely quickly, walking as quickly as she could in her high heels.
Long Ming glanced at Xiao Ying’s departing figure and chased after her. He then turned back to Long Mei. “If she doesn’t calm down, I’ll skin you alive.”
Long Mei smiled charmingly. “You can’t bear to.”
Xiao Ying walked out of Mei Pavilion and toward the beach.
Walking on the beach in high heels, she took off her shoes and walked barefooted to the beach.
Long Ming chased after her.
He was about to grab Xiao Ying’s wrist when she used her high heels as a weapon and waved him away.
“Don’t touch me!”
She had not been too affected by his ex-lover’s provocation.
But the thought of him letting another woman take his surname made her angry.
It was rare for Long Ming to see Xiao Ying so angry. He did not know if he should be happy or sad.
But at least, he could affect her emotions now.
“I thought you wouldn’t get jealous.”
The man’s cold voice sounded behind her and Xiao Ying ignored him.
Long Ming took a big step forward and approached Xiao Ying. However, the next second, she raised her high heels and threw them at him.
Long Ming grabbed her wrist quickly and threw her high heels onto the beach.
“Long Ming, let go of me!” Without her high heels, she clenched her hands into fists and punched his shoulders.
Long Ming grabbed Xiao Ying’s fist and pulled her into his arms with his other hand. His low and magnetic voice was laced with a faint smile. “You’re caring about me more and more.”
This shameless man!
How dare he say such things!
“Who cares about you? Let that Long Mei care about you!”
“She’s not my old lover. She’s my aunt’s daughter. My aunt had a daughter out of wedlock. Her surname is Long.”
Xiao Ying, who was struggling violently in Long Ming’s arms, was stunned. She slowly raised her head and looked at Long Ming. The light at the beach was dim and half of his face was in the light, but his eyes were dark and bright. He did not look like he was lying to her.
Xiao Ying furrowed her eyebrows.
Since she was his cousin, why was she acting like a compet.i.tor?
Could it be…
Xiao Ying had always been smart. After thinking about it twice, she quickly understood.
“Does she know about us?”
Long Ming looked at Xiao Ying’s emotionless face and his large palm caressed her. However, the next second, she slapped his hand away ruthlessly. “You’re not allowed to touch me until you explain yourself.”
In the eyes of outsiders, he might be stronger while she was weaker.
But thinking about it carefully, every time they had fallen out over the years, even if it was a blood feud, he was the one who gave in to her first.
She was the one he could not escape from!
Long Ming pursed his lips, saying hoa.r.s.ely, “After I made the agreement with you and hypnotized you to make you forget about our memories, I was rather dispirited and came to the island to stay for a few days. Maybe I got drunk that night and called your name, letting her know that there was a woman in my heart who didn’t love me back.”
“She heard that I was with you recently and was coming here for a vacation. She was worried whether you were sincere to me, so she wanted to test you. She wanted to see if your heart for me was sincere enough.”
Xiao Ying listened to Long Ming’s explanation. Although it was reasonable for his cousin to suspect her true feelings for him, Long Ming had acquiesced to his cousin’s probing. Was he also suspecting that her feelings for him were not sincere?
At this thought, an uncomfortable feeling rose in Xiao Ying’s heart.
She stepped back, her beautiful face cold. “Are you satisfied with the answer?”
Seeing Xiao Ying’s expression, Long Ming knew that she was angry.
He took a step forward and stretched out his long arm, wanting to pull her into his arms again, but she avoided him.
Long Ming hugged her from behind.
The beach at night was not entirely deserted. People pa.s.sed by them from time to time.
Seeing Long Ming suddenly carry Xiao Ying, several people stopped and looked at them.
Xiao Ying patted Long Ming’s firm shoulders. “Put me down.”
“I’m not letting go.” Long Ming’s well-defined face leaned toward Xiao Ying’s flushed face. A strong masculine scent surrounded her and before she could say anything, she heard his low and cold voice again. “I didn’t let you go to Mei Pavilion and didn’t let you go on stage to compete with her. Although I didn’t manage to tell you about her in time, I was happy to see you accepting another woman’s challenge for me and not backing down.”
Long Ming’s tall nose rubbed against Xiao Ying’s nose lightly. “My woman is finally interested in me.”
When she left the forest that year, he was lucky to have survived. After he woke up, he realized that everything was just an elaborate plan to make use of him. She had approached him with hidden intentions. He loved and hated her deeply.
Looking at her liking Qiao Yanze, getting disfigured for him, and jumping into the sea for him, his heart seemed to burn with an inextinguishable flame.
He tried not to think about her or love her, but there was something missing in his heart.
He thought that he would never be able to receive her love.
When he saw her arguing with Long Mei, he felt happy.
Hearing Long Ming’s explanation, the anger in Xiao Ying’s heart slowly dissipated.
But she still glared at him angrily. “Don’t test me again.”
“I promise there won’t be a next time.”
Xiao Ying looked at his serious and cold expression and could not help but laugh.
Seeing her smile, Long Ming’s tensed nerves relaxed a little. For a man with his personality, coaxing a woman was harder than conquering the world!
The sea breeze at night was fresh and cool. Long Ming lifted Xiao Ying’s high heels and looked at the woman walking on the beach on tiptoes. She tied a knot in her long dress, revealing her slender and fair legs. Her mood seemed to be good and her steps were light.
Looking at it from another angle, Long Ming bringing her to the island to meet his few relatives was actually a form of respect for her.
The sea breeze blew Xiao Ying’s long hair and she used her hands to hold it. She turned back to look at the man who had his eyes on her. A charming smile appeared on her lips. “Long Ming, do you dare to shout that you love me here?”
Long Ming pursed his lips. “Why would I shout here?”
“You don’t dare, but I dare!” Xiao Ying’s graceful body turned around and faced the sea. Her hands were cupped into the shape of a loudspeaker, and she didn’t care about the pedestrians coming and going. She shouted loudly, “Long Ming, I’ve fallen for you. You have to work harder to make me fall in love with you. I hope that the next time we come here, you can hear me say ‘I love you’ to you!”
Long Ming stared at Xiao Ying’s beautiful side profile, his heart was moved and overwhelming emotion surged in his eyes. When she shouted at the sea, his lips had moved as well.
