Not seeing the woman in the master bedroom, Long Ming furrowed his eyebrows slightly.
Long Ming strode out of the master bedroom.
He called the butler over and asked coldly, “Where’s Miss Ying?”
The butler pointed at one of the guest rooms. “Miss Ying moved into that room.”
Long Ming’s expression immediately turned cold.
He waved his hand. “You can leave!”
The butler left, feeling like he had been relieved of a huge burden.
Long Ming’s tall body leaned against the wall behind him. He took out a lighter from his pocket and played with it between his long fingers.
He opened and closed several times the lighter before he stood up and walked toward the guest room Xiao Ying was staying in.
The moment Long Ming opened the door with the spare key, Xiao Ying happened to walk out of the bathroom. She had just taken a bath and was wearing a silk nightdress. Her long hair was wet and fell over her shoulders. She had a towel in her hand and was about to dry her wet hair.
Seeing the man coming in from outside, Xiao Ying froze.
Then, she acted as though he was transparent and wiped her wet hair.
Sensing that something was wrong with Xiao Ying, Long Ming walked to the bed and placed an exquisite jewelry box on the bedside table. “I bought this for you while I was overseas.”
“Thank you.” Her tone was distant and polite.
Long Ming furrowed his eyebrows, his deep eyes looking at Xiao Ying. “Are you angry?”
Why was she angry?
Because he had not contacted her for the past two days?
Xiao Ying did not think that Long Ming would still care about her emotions. She smirked, finding it a little ironic.
“Take it away. I can’t afford to take anything from you.”
Long Ming walked in front of Xiao Ying, his hand pressing on her thin shoulders. “What’s wrong?”
He even asked her what was wrong?
At the thought of that recording, the anger she had suppressed with much difficulty appeared again.
She threw the towel she was using to dry her hair on the bed, glaring at him with a cold and tense expression. “Long Ming, if you want to marry another woman, you can tell me. Why do you have to act like you’re deeply in love with me and turn around to say hurtful words?”
Long Ming narrowed his eyes. “Did you hear something bad?”
Could it be that someone had leaked what he had said in the meeting room that day and was trying to sow discord between them?
Xiao Ying did not want to hide anything. Every day when she thought of him saying such things, she felt as though her heart was being stabbed by a knife.
“Yes, I heard it. You won’t marry a woman like me. You have to marry someone of equal status.”
Long Ming’s well-defined face tensed up like a sharp blade and the coldness exuding from his body rushed toward her.
Although there were no emotions in his eyes, Xiao Ying could feel the murderous aura.
Xiao Ying did not back down. She stared straight into his dark eyes and said word by word, “Long Ming, it was you who came to R Country and promised me that you would give me and Wan Bao a home.”
As Xiao Ying spoke, a mocking smile appeared on her lips. “How long has it been? You’ve changed your mind already. If I didn’t hear you say those words personally, how long would you have lied to me?”
Long Ming pursed his lips and said nothing.
Xiao Ying’s heart tightened uncomfortably.
She clenched her fists and pushed him away.
If he was unwilling to be pushed, she would not be able to push him away given the difference in their strengths.
But now, she managed to push him out.
Xiao Ying wanted to close the door.
Long Ming put his hand on the door and looked at Xiao Ying with his dark eyes. “I’ll explain it to you tomorrow.”
“No need.” Xiao Ying slammed the door shut.
Her slender body leaned against the door frame, her eyes filled with tears.
It turned out that her heart had really become fragile after being moved.
Even the slightest things dealt her a huge blow.
…
Xiao Ying lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Not wanting to let her thoughts run wild, she opened the drawer and took out a bottle of sleeping pills.
She only started to feel sleepy after swallowing two pills.
In the middle of the night, Xiao Ying , who was sound asleep, had no idea that the door to her room had been pushed open.
A tall black figure walked in and sat by the bed, staring at her pretty face for a long time.
His rough fingers caressed her facial features.
A low sigh escaped from the depths of his throat.
“I’m sorry.” Although he knew about her past, he had never calculated how many men she had been with. Seeing those photos, his heart still ached even though he knew that she had only done it to complete her mission.
He was not a saint and he ahd still minded it at that time. He could only try to get used to it as quickly as possible.
His love for her was enough for him to tolerate her past.
Long Ming lowered his head and kissed her cheek softly.
…
Xiao Ying was woken up by a knock on the door.
She had taken sleeping pills last night and had slept peacefully.
Opening her eyes, her mind was blank for a few seconds.
“Miss Ying, are you awake?”
The butler’s voice sounded from outside.
Xiao Ying got up from the bed, put on a jacket, and opened the door.
Behind the butler were two women wearing professional and exquisite makeup.
Seeing Xiao Ying open the door, they both bowed respectfully. “Hello, Miss Ying. I’m a makeup artist.”
Xiao Ying looked at the butler in confusion.
The butler smiled and said to Xiao Ying, “Miss Ying will understand later.”
Under the butler’s instructions, the two women walked into Xiao Ying’s guest room.
One of them took out a pink dress. “Miss Ying, please change into this dress first.”
Xiao Ying was confused.
However, she still followed the woman’s instructions and changed into a pink dress.
After changing into the dress, the makeup artist helped Xiao Ying braid her hair and put on exquisite light makeup.
After she was done with her makeup, Xiao Ying opened her eyes and looked at the dignified and elegant woman in the mirror. She could not believe that that person in the mirror was her.
Seeing that Xiao Ying was dressed, the butler walked in and said politely, “Miss Ying, please come with me.”
With doubts in her heart, Xiao Ying followed the butler to a guest room.
Long Ming and a middle-aged couple were sitting in the guest room. The woman was beautiful and elegant, while the man had a dignified aura and was mature and steady. The couple looked wealthy.
Long Ming sat opposite the couple. Seeing the butler bring Xiao Ying over, he got up, walked to the door, and held Xiao Ying’s hand.
Xiao Ying wanted to pull her hand back instinctively, but Long Ming seemed to have seen through her thoughts and held her slender fingers tightly in his palm.
Long Ming looked at Xiao Ying’s exquisite and beautiful face and said in a low voice, “It’s true that I won’t marry a woman with such complicated experiences like you. The royal family and the people won’t allow it…”
Before he could finish, Xiao Ying interrupted him angrily. “Then, why did you call me over?”
