Chapter 1678: He Left

Usually, before Wan Bao slept, it was Xiao Ying or Tang En who told her stories.

This time, it was Long Ming.

Xiao Ying had never thought about this before.

Long Ming’s aura was strong and he was usually serious. Even children were afraid to interact with him.

But Wan Bao was not afraid at all. She lay on the bed, looking at the tall and muscular man beside her. Listening to his deep and magnetic voice, sleepiness slowly overwhelmed her.

After Long Ming finished his three stories, Wan Bao fell asleep.

The little girl was fair and tender, like a squishy ball and extremely cute.

Long Ming could not help but kiss her forehead. After covering her with the blanket, he walked out of the room quietly.

Xiao Ying was standing outside the guest room. When she saw Long Ming coming out, she asked, “Is she asleep?”

Long Ming hummed softly.

Xiao Ying was about to say something when her stomach growled.

She had been busy looking for Wan Bao that night and had not had time to have her meal. After finding Wan Bao, she had been busy up until now.

The sudden rumbling made Xiao Ying feel extremely awkward.

“Well… I…”

Long Ming did not think much of it and said calmly, “I’ll get the chef to prepare something for you.”

“No, no. If it’s convenient, I can go down and make some food myself.”

“As you please.” With that said, he turned around and returned to the master bedroom.

Xiao Ying also went into the guest room. After glancing at the sleeping Wan Bao, she went to the bathroom to take a bath.

Because her clothes were wet, Long Ming got the butler to bring her a set of female clothes.

She did not know if Lou Lan had left it here, but the clothes were still very new. Xiao Ying did not act coy and changed into clean clothes.

After showering, Xiao Ying went to the kitchen.

She made herself a bowl of noodles.

After she was done, she carried it to the dining table and returned to the kitchen to clean the kitchen counter.

When she reached the dining room, there was a tall figure there.

The man was sitting at the dining table, eating the noodles she had cooked with his head lowered.

“Long Ming, why are you eating my noodles?” Xiao Ying walked over, wanting to take the bowl back.

Long Ming looked up and glanced at her. “You can finish such a big bowl?”

“Even if I can’t finish it, you should get a new bowl and split it!”

Hearing Xiao Ying’s words, Long Ming let out a low laugh from the depths of his throat. His deep eagle-like eyes stopped on her lips. “Why? Do you despise me?”

Xiao Ying’s scalp turned numb from his dark gaze.

“Aren’t you a clean freak?”

Long Ming smirked. “I don’t despise you.”

Xiao Ying glared at him at a loss for words.

She was the one who needed to eat what he had eaten, alright?

…

An hour later.

Xiao Ying lay beside Wan Bao, her fingertips touching her slightly hot cheeks.

She did not know what was wrong with her mind back then. He had fed her noodles, and she had actually eaten it.

After that, the two of them ate a big bowl of noodles.

Why was he trying to… provoke her?

He had a fiancée and had said before that he would only marry a woman like Lou Lan in the future.

Xiao Ying closed her eyes and sighed. The next time he provoked her for no reason, she had to teach him a lesson!

…

The next day.

Xiao Ying was woken up by her phone ringing.

Seeing the caller ID, Xiao Ying froze slightly.

It was Senior Tang En!

Xiao Ying hurriedly answered the call. “Senior?”

The person on the other end of the call was silent for a moment before a feminine male voice sounded. “Tang En’s life is at stake now. If you have time, come and see him for the last time!”

Before Xiao Ying could say anything, the person on the other end hung up.

When Xiao Ying called again, the phone was already turned off.

Xiao Ying’s mind went blank.

What did he mean by Tang En’s life being at stake?

Xiao Ying bit her lip. She had used too much strength and she tasted blood.

She was not dreaming or hallucinating.

She had indeed received that Young Master’s call just now!

Xiao Ying glanced at the sleeping Wan Bao and she got off the bed hurriedly.

She walked to the door of the room and called to book a flight.

But the earliest flight to Italy was in the afternoon.

Xiao Ying was terribly worried.

A cold voice sounded from above her head. “What’s wrong?”

Xiao Ying looked up at Long Ming, the tears in her eyes immediately flowing out.

She took a step forward, her slender fingers pulling at his sleeve. Her lips trembled slightly as she said, “I received a call from that Young Master. Senior Tang En… He’s dying.”

Long Ming furrowed his eyebrows. “So sudden?”

Xiao Ying nodded with red eyes.

“Don’t worry. I’ll arrange for a helicopter to send you there now.” Long Ming looked at Xiao Ying, who was panicking. He caressed her head. “I’ll escort you there personally. As for Wan Bao, let her stay in the palace first. I’ll get the butler to bring that nanny over.”

Xiao Ying tightened her grip on his sleeve. Long Ming saw that her knuckles had turned white and he patted her arm. “Let go of me first. I’ll arrange it.”

Xiao Ying let go of his sleeve, her slender body pressed against the wall as panic and helplessness filled her body.

Long Ming quickly made arrangements. After Wan Bao woke up, Xiao Ying had breakfast with her. When the nanny came, Xiao Ying told Wan Bao that she was going on a business trip for a few days and asked Wan Bao to stay in the palace with the nanny temporarily.

…

Long Ming took his urgent work to the helicopter and accompanied Xiao Ying to Italy.

Along the way, Xiao Ying stared out of the window, her face pale and silent.

When Tang En had been taken away by the Young Master, she had had a bad feeling in her heart. That Young Master was too extreme. Tang En had lied to him and she did not know what methods he would use to deal with him.

Her senior was an extremely prideful person. He was already on the verge of a mental breakdown after being bullied by Young Master. If she had not become his weakness back then and had not been taken away by that Young Master, Senior Tang En would have been able to live in seclusion and might have been able to get rid of that devil.

It was all her fault!

She was a jinx. Anyone who got involved with her would suffer!

Long Ming looked at Xiao Ying, whose eyes were filled with tears. He reached out his long arm and wrapped it around her shoulders. “There’s no bad news yet. Don’t overthink it.”

For the first time, Xiao Ying did not resist Long Ming’s embrace. She buried her face into his chest and the tears she had held back for a long time flowed out.

After a while, Long Ming’s shirt was wet.

Long Ming tightened his hold on her shoulders and his eyes on her darkened.

She must really love that man called Tang En!

She had given birth to a daughter for him and was so sad for him!

Had she even shed a tear for him when he almost died in the swamp?!

…

After a long flight, they finally arrived in Italy.

Long Ming had already found out about the hospital Tang En was sent to. Xiao Ying rushed over and found out that Tang En had entered the ICU, but within two hours, the doctors and nurses rushed into the ICU.

When they came out again, they shook their heads at the people waiting outside. “Mr Tang has already left.”
