Chapter 1675: Gone
Xiao Ying took a few steps back. If she had not grabbed the cabinet by the side in time, she might have fallen to the ground.
Long Ming opened his eyes immediately, his eyes bloodshot. “I told you to scram!”
He thought it was Mo Tian or the accompanying doctor.
Xiao Ying looked at Long Ming. He was not completely awake and his well-defined face was unusually red. He looked like a paper tiger and did not have his usual dignity and coldness.
“The high and mighty King is actually afraid of injections and medicine?”
Hearing the woman’s teasing voice, Long Ming froze. His deep and cold eyes were like sharp swords as they swept toward Xiao Ying.
“Why are you here?” His voice was extremely hoarse.
Xiao Ying stood by the bed again, a cold smile on her lips as she stared at his abnormally red face. “I came to see how seriously ill you are. Why am I still a little happy to see you not taking medicine or injections?”
Long Ming wanted to get off the bed and chase Xiao Ying out but his legs were weak.
His fever was so bad that he felt weak all over.
Seeing Long Ming like this, Xiao Ying lifted her chin, looking even more arrogant. “If you die from your illness, I’ll have one less person who hates me in the future. It’s quite worth it!”
“You…” Long Ming gritted his teeth.
Seeing him deflated, Xiao Ying handed the medicine to him. “If you still want to live properly, eat the medicine obediently.”
Long Ming seemed to have not heard Xiao Ying’s words. He lay back on the bed and closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep.
Xiao Ying pulled him up and fed him the medicine. “Open your mouth.”
There was no response.
“Long Ming, I know you’re not asleep.”
“Do you really want to die?”
Long Ming opened his eyes and glanced at her. “Do you really think a small cold can take my life? You’re looking down on me.”
Before Xiao Ying could say anything, she heard him say, “If you feed me in another way, I can consider it.” His cold eyes landed on her red lips.
“In your dreams!” Xiao Ying placed the medicine in his hand and got up, preparing to leave.
But the next second, his arm reached over and wrapped around her waist.
Xiao Ying struggled but he used all of his strength and refused to let her go.
He buried his face in her snow-white neck. “Just for a while.”
At this moment, he was like a child with no sense of belonging. His voice was hoarse and slightly pleading.
It was rare for Xiao Ying to see such a fragile side of him. She looked down at the two hands wrapped around her waist, her expression slightly dazed.
Just as she was distracted, he pulled her into his arms.
“Long Ming, you have to take the medicine.”
“Will you leave after I finish it?”
Xiao Ying wanted to reply that she wanted to leave, but the words she was about to say turned into ‘no’.
This time, Long Ming took the medicine cooperatively.
After eating, he hugged Xiao Ying again.
Xiao Ying looked sideways at the man beside her.
At this moment, he was like a lion in deep sleep, looking haggard and tired.
Her heart softened inexplicably. He had always been lively and energetic, and she rarely saw him like this.
Staring at his well-defined face and exquisite facial features for a while, Xiao Ying’s eyelids became heavy.
The next day.
At dawn, Xiao Ying woke up.
The moment she opened her eyes, she met a pair of deep and cold eyes.
The moment their eyes met, their gazes changed slightly.
“Why are you on my bed?” Long Ming asked coldly.
His eyes were dark and his attitude was cold. Xiao Ying could not figure out if he was pretending to be confused or if he really did not remember what had happened last night!
“Mo Tian said that you were sick and refused to take your medicine. He asked me to think of a way.” Xiao Ying’s eyes softened when she thought about how she to coax Wan Bao for a long time every time he took his medicine. “Why are you like a child?”
The moment Xiao Ying was distracted, Long Ming caught a flash of gentleness in her eyes. It was obvious that she was not targeting him.
This woman could make him angry at all times.
However, he was even angrier at himself. Why was he so concerned about her every move?
Seeing that Long Ming was silent, Xiao Ying thought that his fever had not subsided. Raising her hand, she was about to touch his forehead when he pushed her hand away.
His gaze turned cold and distant.
Xiao Ying could not stand Long Ming’s sudden change in attitude. She ignored him and got off the bed, preparing to leave.
…
A few minutes later.
Xiao Ying came out of his room with a dark expression.
Xiao Ying really could not understand how he could tell that she was thinking about another man.
…
Xiao Ying did not see Long Ming the entire day. During lunch, she asked Mo Tian and found out that Long Ming had left the forest in a hurry after answering a call in the morning.
After the investigation, Xiao Ying and her team left the forest.
Coincidentally, it was the weekend and Xiao Ying had not brought Wan Bao out to play for a while. She brought Wan Bao and the nanny to the park.
After playing for nearly a day, she was about to return to the resort villa when her phone vibrated.
There was a message.
It was from an unknown number.
Xiao Ying opened the message and glanced at it.
Water Cloud Restaurant, Peony Pavilion’s private room. See you there.
Xiao Ying looked at the message, feeling puzzled.
It probably wasn’t from Long Ming. He was domineering and arrogant. Even if he wanted to meet her, he wouldn’t use an unknown number.
Could it be… Senior Tang En?
At this thought, Xiao Ying hurriedly instructed the driver, “Go to the Water Cloud Restaurant.”
Half an hour later.
When they arrived at Water Cloud Restaurant, Xiao Ying booked a private room and ordered food. She asked the nanny and Wan Bao to stay in the private room.
Xiao Ying asked the service staff about the private room, Peony Pavilion. When she went over and saw that there was no one in the private room opposite, she hid in the private room opposite.
Not long after, the waiter brought the food to the private room, Peony Pavilion. Xiao Ying looked inside through the open door.
In the end, she did not see Tang En and saw Long Ming instead.
Apart from Long Ming, there was also an older granny in the room, as well as a young girl who looked to be around eighteen or nineteen years old.
Xiao Ying furrowed her eyebrows.
What was the intention of the person who texted her?
Was there anything wrong with Long Ming eating with the old lady and the young lady?
The waiter came out after serving the dishes and Xiao Ying also walked toward the room she had booked.
She had just arrived at the door when the nanny rushed out. “Miss Ying, bad news. I went to the washroom and Wan Bao disappeared.”
