Silence met his words. Xiao Ying’s hair stood on end when she heard Long Ming say such a thing.
He suddenly smiled at her and spoke to her in a low voice. It was even more terrifying than him using violence.
Xiao Ying shrunk her shoulders and looked at Long Ming with a guarded expression. “What do you want to do? What are you planning?”
Long Ming lowered his head and kissed Xiao Ying on her scarred face. “I don’t want to do anything, I just want to be good to you.”
Xiao Ying’s heart almost fell apart.
It was not that she was a masochist, but Long Ming was not a man who would be good to her.
He hated her to the core!
Long Ming poured the porridge he had brought into a bowl. “Hungry?”
Xiao Ying’s lips trembled. “Long Ming, you…”
“I forgot to tell you something. Your sister came to Burma to see you.”
Xiao Ying’s nerves tensed in an instant. Was he going to use Xiao Xi to threaten her again? But then, there was nothing to threaten her with. She had already become the lowliest slave in his palace!
Long Ming scooped a mouthful of porridge to Xiao Ying’s lips. “She doesn’t want to stay in the Palace, so I arranged for her to stay in a hotel. She will come to see you later.”
Xiao Ying’s teeth began to chatter.
This devil was too abnormal.
“Open your mouth.”
Xiao Ying pursed her lips and shook her head.
When Long Ming saw that Xiao Ying did not open her mouth, he put the porridge into his own mouth. Then pinching Xiao Ying’s chin, he proceeded to transfer the porridge into her mouth.
When he moved away, the tip of his tongue licked her chin.
Goosebumps crawled all over Xiao Ying’s body. What on earth was this devil trying to do?
“Is it delicious?”
Xiao Ying said nothing.
“Do you still want me to feed you this way?”
He still wanted to feed her with his mouth? Why was he so disgusting?
“Spoon.”
“Good girl.”
Xiao Ying felt flustered seeing him suddenly becoming gentle, turning from a devil to a little puppy.
…
In the afternoon.
Like what the devil had said, Xiao Xi came to the hospital.
Learning that Xiao Xi’s operation was successful and she could hear in her left ear, Xiao Ying’s eyes prickled with tears. She opened her arms, wanting to hug Cen Xi.
Cen Xi was afraid that she would touch Xiao Ying’s wound and she bent down, hugging Xiao Ying.
“Sister, you’ve not been living well recently, have you?”
Xiao Ying did not dare to tell Cen Xi that she was not living well and only said with a smile, “Long Ming has changed recently. He is very good to me now.”
Cen Xi thought of the smile on the Burmese King’s cold face when she saw him today. She thought he had changed his soul.
She did not expect that there would be times when the cruel and bloodthirsty Burmese King would smile.
“Sister, he still likes you!”
“Maybe!” It was because he had liked her before that he could hate her to bones. There must be some hidden conspiracy with his sudden change! “I’m still unable to leave and can’t be by your side. What are your plans for the future?”
To be honest, Cen Xi was also confused regarding the future. She could not go back to the Capital anymore. The Capital was not considered a large city, yet it was not that small either. If she were to work in the translation department again, she would meet Qiao Yanze.
He said that things were over between them and she did not want to be entangled anymore.
“I haven’t thought about it yet.”
Xiao Ying held Cen Xi’s hand. “Don’t think about working and making money. I have enough money for you to spend, okay? Go and travel around the world. Take the time to explore and relax.”
Cen Xi knew that if she continued to stay in Burma, her sister would be in a difficult spot if the Burmese King used her to threaten her sister.
But, how could she feel relaxed leaving her sister here to suffer while she went out to travel around the world?
Xiao Ying could see what Cen Xi was thinking and rubbed her fair face. “Silly girl. My money is all saved for you.” In fact, when she was controlled by the organization and became an assassin, she was prepared to be killed at any time.
She was lucky to be able to live to this day. Her biggest wish in life was for her sister to live happily. Because of her, her sister had suffered so many grievances and hurt!
“Xiao Xi, listen to me. Go and enjoy yourself. Live. I’m doing well here, Long Ming has changed and is not that hostile towards me.”
“Mm, I’ll stay here to take care of Sister until you are discharged from the hospital.”
“Okay, I really don’t know what to do with you.”
In the following days, Cen Xi found that Long Ming really did seem to have changed. He was not as fierce to her sister as before and even had a smile on his face when talking to her.
But he was still a possessive man deep down.
He asked the dean to dismiss a male doctor because her sister took a few more glances at him. He only agreed to let that male doctor stay after her sister had a big fight with him and promised not to look at other men. The one condition was that the male doctor could not appear in front of her sister anymore.
Possessive was one and only word for it.
…
After Xiao Ying was discharged from the hospital, she thought she was going back to the laundry room to continue being a lowly slave. She did not expect Long Ming to take her back to the castle.
Coming to the magnificent castle again, Xiao Ying felt like a century had passed. Coming here meant being a tool of Long Ming’s again.
“Pack up. We’ll go out for two days.” Long Ming threw those words down and went to work.
The butler came over and took Xiao Ying upstairs.
“Miss Xiao Ying, His Majesty knows that you don’t want to sleep in the same room with him, so he has instructed for you to stay opposite his room.”
Xiao Ying pushed open the door and was slightly stunned when she saw the furnishings inside.
She had once said to the young Long Ming that she wanted to have a warm and comfortable room with a cloakroom and a big bathtub. When she was feeling narcissistic, she could wear beautiful clothes and could lie comfortably in the bathtub when she was feeling tired.
The decoration of the room was arranged according to her preferences all those years ago.
In the cloakroom, there were rows of the latest clothes of all major brands. The large and gorgeous bathtub in the bathroom almost blinded her.
It was too abnormal!
What did Long Ming, the devil, want to do? He did not use violence on her anymore. Was he going to charm her with his sugar-coated bullets?
“Miss Xiao Ying, pack some clothes. His Majesty will take you out this afternoon.
In response, Xiao Ying only nodded dazedly.
When there was only Xiao Ying left in the room, she went into the cloakroom. Standing in front of the big mirror, she looked at the woman staring back at her.
Her facial features were the same as before. They were exquisite and beautiful. Although one side of her face was normal, the scar on the other side tainted the effect of her entire face. She did not look beautiful, but ferocious and ugly.
She really did not understand… how could he still be interested in her when she had become like this?
…
After taking a bath, Xiao Ying chose a simple and comfortable set of pajamas to wear.
A comforting scent seemed to envelop the bed. Since coming to Burma, she had lost sleep almost every night. Soon enough, she fell into the arms of slumber.
Then she was woken up by the domineering and strong kiss of the man.
Opening her eyes, she looked at the man who was too close to her, and she opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but the man did not give her the chance. A scorching hot tongue entering her mouth.
“Mmmh!”
Xiao Ying gave out some muffled sounds, but she could not resist it and could only let him in…
