After the call, Long Mei turned around and saw Long Ming standing behind her with a dark gaze.
Long Mei patted her chest in shock. “Brother, are you trying to scare me to death by standing there without saying a word?”
Long Ming glanced at Long Mei coldly. “Did you just say that she went to Mrs Li’s party?”
Long Mei was stunned for a moment before she regained her senses and smiled. “Yes, Brother. Since you don’t like her anymore, it’s normal for her to go out and meet more outstanding men!”
Long Ming narrowed his eyes and pursed his thin lips tightly. He said nothing more and turned to leave.
“Brother, where are you going?”
There was no answer.
Long Mei smiled as she watched Long Ming leave angrily.
Let’s see how long you can keep up the act.
As she smiled, a handsome and arrogant face flashed past Long Mei’s mind.
The smile on her lips froze.
Why was she thinking of that man again?
…
Mrs Li’s house was brightly lit tonight, and many rich and n.o.ble ladies had arrived.
The Duke’s wife brought Xiao Ying to the banquet hall and Mrs Li welcomed them warmly.
Mrs Li’s youngest son had just returned from abroad. When he saw Xiao Ying wearing a long red V-neck dress, his eyes flashed with amazement.
While Mrs Li was chatting with the Duke’s wife, the Little Young Master came over to chat with Xiao Ying.
The Little Young Master was wise, humorous and would not give people pressure.
Xiao Ying chatted happily with him.
When it was time to dance, the Little Young Master invited Xiao Ying to dance.
Xiao Ying did not act coy and placed her hand in the Little Young Master’s.
The two of them were dancing a waltz.
The Little Young Master had not expected Xiao Ying to be able to dance the waltz so well, and the chemistry between them was very good.
The man was handsome while the woman was pretty. Very soon, they became the most eye-catching couple on the dance floor.
The others stood aside and watched as the two of them danced together.
Whether it was rotating, turning sideways and tilting, or advancing and retreating, the two of them worked together flawlessly. Xiao Ying’s skirt fluttered as their bodies touched. They gazed at each other and she lifted her chin slightly. Her figure was graceful, her posture elegant, and her steps refined…
With the last action, she spun like a beautiful b.u.t.terfly and landed in his arms.
There was a moment of silence, followed by enthusiastic applause.
“You danced too well.”
“To be able to have such great chemistry on your first time, Miss Long and Little Young Master must be fated for each other!”
Xiao Ying had an elegant and beautiful smile on her lips as she nodded at the ladies who were praising them. Suddenly, she felt a scorching and sharp gaze land on her.
She turned back and her eyes met with his deep and cold eyes.
Long Ming!
Why was he here?
Just now, everyone had been focused on their dance and no one had noticed that Long Ming had arrived. Now that Mrs Li saw Long Ming, she went up to him in disbelief.
The Duke’s wife had also seen Long Ming and she came up to Xiao Ying. “Ying’er, don’t make a move until he takes the initiative.”
Xiao Ying looked at the Duke’s wife, who was worried sick over her feelings, and grabbed her hand. “Mom, I know.”
With Long Ming’s current personality, he definitely did not like women who threw themselves at him.
She would not throw herself at him and make him hate her.
After talking to the Little Young Master for a while, Xiao Ying went to the washroom to touch up her makeup.
She was about to go in after closing the door when a hand reached over and pressed her against the door frame.
Xiao Ying was shocked.
Seeing whom the man standing at the door was, Xiao Ying was slightly surprised. “Long Ming?”
Long Ming pursed his lips tightly, saying nothing as he pushed the door with his hand.
Xiao Ying was wearing high heels and she took a few steps back unsteadily from his sudden push.
Long Ming walked in and closed the door behind him.
“What are you doing?” If someone saw him, it would not reflect well on him.
Long Ming strode toward Xiao Ying.
Xiao Ying looked at his dark and cold expression, as she moved back unconsciously.
She had backed off so much that she was now leaning against the sink.
The man stood in front of her, his long arms placed on the sink by her sides, trapping her between.
A familiar and unfamiliar smell mixed with the faint smell of tobacco tickled her senses.
Xiao Ying put her hands on his shoulders and pushed him away. “Let’s talk outside.”
He did not move, his thin lips pursed into a straight line. His handsome face approached hers, the tip of his nose almost touching hers.
Looking at his dark eyes that seemed to want to swallow her, Xiao Ying was a little anxious. “Didn’t you not want to see me? Why are you trapping me here?”
“Why? Is Mrs Li’s son your new target?”
Hearing his words, Xiao Ying’s pupils constricted.
“What do you mean?”
“Do you feel uncomfortable when you can’t attract men’s attention?”
The way he looked at her was as though she was a promiscuous woman. Perhaps, this was the image she had in his heart now!
Forget it. She did not want to argue with him.
“It’s none of your business!” She replied coldly.
He probably had not expected her to have such an att.i.tude. Previously, in order to get close to him, she had even disguised herself as a maid. In the end, when Wan Bao recovered, she had become strangers with him.
This woman was too ambitious.
He lifted his slender hand and grabbed her chin. “Does that Young Master Li outside know that you have a child? Does he know that you were once my woman?”
He leaned down and spoke into her ear. His tone was low, cold, and enchanting.
Xiao Ying’s body was stiff and her ears were slightly hot. She tried to calm herself down and glared at him angrily. Then, she kicked his calf when he was not paying attention.
She was very fast and he did not have time to dodge.
A wave of pain hit him.
She pushed him away quickly and left the washroom.
The Li family’s Young Master was standing outside. Seeing Xiao Ying coming out, his expression was dark and he asked with concern, “Miss Long, are you feeling unwell?”
Before Xiao Ying could say anything, a tall figure walked out from the washroom.
Even after the man was kicked in the lef, he acted like nothing had happened. He had one hand in his pocket, his expression cold and sharp.
Seeing the Young Master of the Li family standing outside, his deep eagle eyes narrowed slightly and a strong aura gushed out. He left without a word.
When the Li family’s Young Master saw Long Ming coming out of the washroom, shock appeared in his eyes. He looked at Xiao Ying again, and her face was completely red. Although she was not a petty woman and had experienced many storms, she still felt embarra.s.sed when others saw her and Long Ming coming out of the washroom one after another.
Seeing Xiao Ying turning her gaze away, the Little Young Master didn’t ask her anything.
When they arrived at the banquet hall, Mrs Li called Little Young Master to the side and said to him, “The King just told me that Miss Long is his woman and told you not to have any ideas about her.”
