Chapter 1712: He Won’t Marry Her

Long Ming swept his eyes across the crowd in the meeting room, his eagle-like eyes cold.

“Weren’t all of you in a hurry to get my secretary to call me over? Why are all of you mute now?”

After Long Ming was promoted, he conducted all matters fairly. Although his attitude was not gentle, everyone had gotten used to it over the years.

Everyone had witnessed his capabilities.

However, his love life could not satisfy the royal family.

Marrying the daughter of the Lou family was beneficial to the royal family, but he had suddenly broken off the engagement with the Lou family. His Princess Consort needed a strong background to match him.

However, if he insisted on marrying a commoner girl, they would not oppose it because he was truly capable.

But now, from the information they had gathered, that woman’s identity was simply…

Even if they risked their lives, they could not let such a woman enter the royal family and become the Princess Consort.

The elder sitting on Long Ming’s right coughed a few times before saying, “Your Majesty, we’re gathered here this time because of your marriage.”

Long Ming raised his eyebrows slightly. “Oh? What do you have to say?”

The elder took out a document. “This is what we received. Your Majesty, if the public learns of these things, it might very well affect your status! Everything is a double-edged sword. If you continue to be stubborn, it will only disappoint the people!”

Long Ming looked at the document file the elder handed over and took it with a cold expression.

Opening the document, he saw the information and photos inside. His well-defined features gave off a cold and murderous aura.

The photos were all of the men whom Xiao Ying had approached when she had been on a mission back then. There were intimate ones, teasing ones, ambiguous ones, ones where she was playing hard to get… Apart from the photos, there was also the confidential information Xiao Ying had stolen.

If these things were exposed, Xiao Ying would definitely face punishment. And he would never be able to be with her openly.

“Your Majesty, we won’t interfere with who you want to look for, but this woman won’t do.”

The others in the meeting room agreed.

The Chief Secretary stood behind Long Ming and could not help breaking out in cold sweat for Long Ming when he saw everyone objecting.

Long Ming pursed his lips, his eyes unreadable. “Everyone, it’s true that I won’t be with this woman in the document. There’s no need for me to go against the rules to marry a woman who has such a past.”

“Elders and relatives, there’s really no need to be afraid or fearful. For the sake of the royal family and my people, I will only marry a woman of equal status to me and become the Princess Consort.”

Hearing Long Ming’s words, everyone in the meeting room heaved a sigh of relief!

This was the decision a decisive king should make! There were so many women in the world, why should he be together for a woman who had once charmed countless men? Besides, that woman had a shameful past and could not be the Queen of a country!

Long Ming leaned against the leather chair. “Did everyone come today just for this?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Long Ming narrowed his dark eyes. “In that case, the meeting today will end here.”

…

When everyone walked out of the meeting room, no one noticed that one of the relatives’ secretaries had secretly sent out Long Ming’s promise to everyone.

His target was Lou Lan.

Lou Lan had passed the information on to the most noble relative she had, and had then bribed a secretary to record what Long Ming had said in the meeting room and send it to her.

Of course, Lou Lan would not reveal these confidential information, but she really wanted to hear what Long Ming would do after knowing Xiao Ying’s background.

Upon hearing the recording sent by the secretary, Lou Lan could not help but smile.

Indeed, he did not disappoint her. After Long Ming found out about Xiao Ying’s past, he had declared that he would not marry her!

How could such a despicable woman become his Princess Consort?

Long Ming must have been deceived by her. Now that he knew about her past, he would definitely not want her anymore!

A gloating smile appeared on Lou Lan’s lips. She took out another phone from the drawer and sent the recording to Xiao Ying’s email.

That vixen had made her life a living hell for this period of time. She wanted to let her hear with her own ears how Long Ming had talked about her in front of the royal family’s elders!

After sending out the recording, Lou Lan turned off her phone. This phone was special. No one would ever be able to trace it to her.

After sending the email successfully, Lou Lan lay down on her bed. The gloominess on her face from the past few days had completely disappeared, leaving only a chilling smile.

…

After returning to the palace, Xiao Ying’s heart was in a mess.

Long Ming had been called away by a phone call and the change in his expression when he had answered the call was clearly etched in her mind.

Something bad must have happened!

Was it about her?

Ever since the secretly-taken photographs were exposed, she had been feeling slightly uneasy.

At night, Long Ming still had not returned. Xiao Ying took a bath with Wan Bao and told Wan Bao a few stories before she fell asleep.

Xiao Ying went downstairs and turned on the television.

She did not see any news about Long Ming.

Xiao Ying took out her phone again, wanting to call Long Ming, but she was worried that she would disturb him.

She was about to put down her phone when she suddenly saw an email notification.

Xiao Ying opened her email and saw that there was indeed an email without a title in the inbox.

It was a recording.

Xiao Ying frowned and clicked on the recording in confusion.

Long Ming’s deep and cold voice sounded from the recording.

“Everyone, it’s true that I won’t be with this woman in the document. There’s no need for me to go against the rules to marry a woman who has such a past.”

“Elders and relatives, there’s really no need to be afraid or fearful. For the sake of the royal family and my people, I will only marry a woman of equal status to me and become the Princess Consort.”

Hearing such a recording, Xiao Ying froze for a moment.

She really wanted to tell herself that this was not Long Ming’s voice, but someone had sent it on purpose to cause a misunderstanding between her and Long Ming.

However, she had known Long Ming for many years. If she could not tell if his voice was real or fake, she would have lived in vain.

Her past made her especially sensitive to people’s voices. She would never forget it after hearing it once.

The man in the recording was really Long Ming.

He said that he would not marry a woman with that kind of past!

He even said that he wanted to marry a woman of an equal status!

Xiao Ying’s mind was suddenly in a mess.

She listened to the recording again. Every word and sentence of his was like a sharp knife stabbing at her chest!

A lump formed in her throat and her sight was blurred by tears.
