Chapter 1279: Loving Her
Xia Ling didn’t see him in the limousine before she agreed. If she had known that he was there, she definitely wouldn’t agree to the ride.
“Xiaoling, won’t you sit down? The chauffeur is going to begin driving.”
Sit down?
But where was she going to sit?
Concubine Yu held Mu Mu in her arms while Auntie Su occupied a seat, the only seat left was opposite them.
But Xuan Ying was seated there.
As he took the outermost seat, she could only pa.s.s by him and sit beside him.
Xia Ling looked at Auntie Su, whispering, “Auntie Su, can I change seats with you?”
Auntie Su’s eyes crinkled into a smile and she waved her arm. “I can’t, I need to wait on Madam.”
“…”
“Mommy, you can sit with the handsome uncle.”
Xia Ling didn’t know what to say.
Concubine Yu looked at her son, chiding him, “Xuan Ying, take your legs away and let Xiaoling go in.”
His long legs were blocking the way. Ever since Xia Ling came inside the limousine, Xuan Ying didn’t spare her a single glance. He just retracted his legs.
Xia Ling moved over, taking a seat beside him.
…
The chauffeur started driving and Xuan Ying didn’t talk at all, but the atmosphere remained pleasant. Concubine Yu really liked Mu Mu and they enjoyed talking to each other.
“Mu Mu, Auntie Su’s signature dish is mango pudding. We can have Auntie Su make that for you if you come over for dinner later. Do you want to?” Concubine Yu touched Mu Mu’s head dotingly.
“Thank you, Granny, but I can’t eat mango pudding.”
“Why?”
“Mm, I’m allergic to mangoes.”
Concubine Yu’s heart thudded. Mu Mu was allergic to mangoes? Xuan Ying was also allergic to mangoes… Was it a mere coincidence?
Concubine Yu looked at Mu Mu’s face carefully. Was she being too sensitive? She could somehow notice the resemblance to Xuan Ying.
Who was Mu Mu’s father? Was it going to remain a mystery?
Could it be that… Mu Mu was Xuan Ying’s daughter? And Mu Mu was her granddaughter?
As the thoughts rushed through her head, Concubine Yu’s mind was almost bursting from what it implied, but she remained calm on the outside. Without letting herself disclose any of her thoughts, she secretly took a strand of Mu Mu’s hair.
She was going to send the sample for a DNA paternity test.
“Xuan Ying, look how cute Mu Mu is. When are you going to find a woman and give birth to a grandchild for me?” Concubine Yu looked at Xuan Ying, who sat opposite her.
In response, Xuan Ying only remained expressionless, exuding a cold, devilish charm. “Having a child is easy enough, I have the seeds.”
Meanwhile, Xia Ling sat beside him, trying to not make her presence obvious. But when she heard him mention that he had the seeds, her lashes fluttered and she looked away.
Those words sounded seemed intentional as if it was meant for a certain someone. In fact, those memories from the night they spent together were still vivid in her mind.
“Go ahead now. Tell me the truth, do you like anyone now?” Concubine Yu asked.
Xuan Ying raised his brows. “I do like… someone.”
When she heard this, Xia Ling’s heart raced. He had someone he liked?
“Who is she?”
“She is…”
Xia Ling couldn’t help herself and she p.r.i.c.ked up her ears. She wanted to know the answer.
Xuan Ying suddenly changed his mind. “We shouldn’t talk about her anymore. She’s a heartless person. She doesn’t cherish me even after I became hers.”
“…”
Xia Ling could feel her face becoming burning hot. She could sense that he was talking about her. She had never met such a… shameless man!
When she s.h.i.+fted her hand, she saw that Xuan Ying’s hand slowly moved too, holding onto her finger.
Xia Ling’s heart pumped wildly. How could he do that in front of everyone!
She instantly retracted her hand, but he followed, grasping her hand.
Xia Ling’s face turned crimson red, she instinctively flung his hand away.
“Mu Mu, come over. Let Mommy hug you.”
Stretching out her arms, Xia Ling gave Mu Mu an affectionate smile. Seeing her Mommy with her arms out, Mu Mu got down from Concubine Yu’s side obediently, lunging straight into Xia Ling’s arms. With that, Xia Ling held Mu Mu in her arms.
On the other seat Xuan Ying looked sideways, watching Mu Mu and Mu Mu also looked at him with her l.u.s.trous eyes, smiling at him. When he looked at her, Xuan Ying’s heart melted. He really liked this little girl. Pursing his lips, he said, “If any woman is able to make me love her and stay loyal to only her, I will willingly raise her child, even if it’s not my DNA.”
Once Xia Ling heard him, her lashes fluttered uneasily, but she pretended that she didn’t hear him. In the end, he was still the almighty Silver Mask King, while she was a single mother. They weren’t suitable for each other.
So she didn’t want him to continue flirting with her anymore.
“Handsome Uncle, I really like you.” Mu Mu declared as the beamed at Xuan Ying with a blinding smile.
Xuan Ying leaned forward, nuzzling his head against Mu Mu’s forehead. “Uncle really likes you too.”
A giggle burst out of Mu Mu’s lips and if anything, her smile became even more radiant.
When Xia Ling saw their interaction, she felt uneasy, he was playing with Mu Mu but his head was right in front of her chest. Though she didn’t have an E cup like Yi Xiaorui, her chest was also well-developed.
Xuan Ying suddenly moved and his face seemed to touch her chest.
What was he doing! She instantly moved to the side while still holding Mu Mu tightly in her arms.
Finally, the limousine pulled up and they arrived at her apartment.
“Goodbye, Madam, Auntie Su.”
Xia Ling took Mu Mu with her and left without looking back.
…
Xia Ling waited for the elevator with Mu Mu.
Footsteps could be heard and Mu Mu called out excitably, “Mommy, look, it’s Handsome Uncle!”
Why did he follow them?
As Xuan Ying approached them, he ruffled Mu Mu’s hair affectionately. “Mu Mu, go and play by yourself for a little bit. I need to talk to your Mommy.”
“Okay.” Mu Mu ran to another side.
Xuan Ying looked at Xia Ling, putting his hands into the pockets of his coat. He had a tall build and was as suave as ever.
“Why are you hiding?”
Fierce eyes glared at him. “Why are you asking when you obviously know the answer?”
“Ha.” Xuan Ying forced out a laugh. “Aren’t you the heartless one who abandoned me after making use of me?”
What?
Oh G.o.d! H-How could he say something like that?
Xia Ling was stunned.
Xuan Ying looked at her chest with narrowed eyes. “I didn’t nuzzle against your chest on purpose. Your chest is so small, not even E cup, what makes you think I’d be that thirsty for you?”
“…”
Xia Ling was speechless, she was at a loss for words. She was reminded of the words that Yi Xiaorui said to her previously, that all men all liked a woman with an E-cup.
Flus.h.i.+ng red, she hissed back furiously, “Yes, I don’t have an E cup, so you can go ahead and look for other women who have an E cup!”
Xuan Ying’s gaze darkened, turning menacing as he looked at her.
Right at that moment, his cell phone rang.
