He had mouthed ‘I love you’.
Whether she liked him or not, he still loved her.
He had loved her since a long time ago.
After Xiao Ying finished shouting, she turned back to look at Long Ming.
Realizing that his gaze was about to swallow her up, she felt danger. She covered her face with her hands and ran forward quickly.
Seeing that she had run away, Long Ming ignored the gazes of the people around him and chased after her.
After all, he was tall and had the advantage, so he caught up to her in no time.
Xiao Ying bent down, cupping a handful of seawater to pour it over him.
If it was someone else teasing him like this, he would have gotten angry long ago. However, he was not unhappy at all when facing Xiao Ying.
Seeing that half of his black shirt was drenched, he bent down and poured water on her too.
They were acting no differently from little children.
They chased each other while laughing nonstop.
Neither of them noticed that someone in the dark was taking photos of their intimate scene with a camera.
When the two of them were tired from playing, they lay down on the beach without any restraints.
Long Ming reached out his long arm and pulled Xiao Ying into his arms.
Xiao Ying did not push him away. She lay on his muscular and firm chest, looking at him with dazed eyes.
Her gaze moved across his long eyebrow, deep eagle eyes, high nose bridge, and thin lips.
In the past, she had only thought that he looked exquisite, but she had seen many exquisite boys and did not think that he was special. However, looking at him now, she felt that even his hair exuded a strong masculine scent.
It was really terrible!
Seeing Xiao Ying staring at him nonstop, Long Ming pressed his hand against the back of her head.
Caught off guard, she kissed the tip of his nose.
She was about to move away when he pressed her down again.
Her fair and delicate face slowly turned red, like a blooming rose, beautiful beyond words.
…
The two of them clung to each other for a while before they got up and left.
On the way back to the villa, Xiao Ying thought of Long Mei and she said nervously, “My attitude when talking to your cousin at Mei Pavilion wasn’t very good. Will she have something against me?”
“Do you think she’d dare?” Only in front of Xiao Ying and Wan Bao was Long Ming’s tone gentler. He was even fierce toward Long Mei. “You’ve already passed her test. She won’t have anything against you.”
Xiao Ying nodded. “That’s good.”
On the way back to the villa, Xiao Ying found that many young girls were looking at Long Ming with heated gazes.
She glanced at Long Ming.
Long Ming’s black shirt was completely soaked in seawater. The shirt was pressed against his chest, showing his strong and lean chest.
He was tall and had broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His proportions were extremely good and with his strong aura, he was an eye-catching sight along the way.
If Long Ming had not been with her, those young girls would probably have come to ask for his contact.
Xiao Ying looked at the young girls’ fiery and straightforward gazes and poked Long Ming with her elbow. “Wait.”
Long Ming stopped, his eyes dark. “What?”
Xiao Ying said nothing. She raised her fair fingers and helped Long Ming button his shirt.
Seeing Xiao Ying’s action, Long Ming smirked and laughed softly. Xiao Ying’s face turned red from his laughter. Before she could say anything, he suddenly stretched out his long arm and picked her up.
“This is the best solution if you’re afraid that I’ll be seen by other women.”
Xiao Ying heard several young girls exclaim softly, “He’s such a masculine man!”
Xiao Ying looked at the envious gazes of the girls and her lips could not help but curl up. Her bright eyes landed on the man’s firm jaw and her heart trembled terribly.
…
Xiao Ying only went to bed at two in the morning.
Long Ming kissed Xiao Ying’s forehead. “You sleep first. I’ll go take a look at Wan Bao.”
Xiao Ying hummed sleepily.
When Xiao Ying woke up, Long Ming was no longer by her side.
After taking a bath in the bathroom, Xiao Ying went downstairs in her t-shirt and hot pants.
Laughter could be heard from the living room.
Long Mei had arrived.
Long Mei only had light makeup on today and was wearing a long lake-blue dress. She was not as charming as she had been last night, but looked more innocent.
Long Mei was much younger with light makeup than with heavy makeup. Xiao Ying felt that her appearance matched her age. Long Mei had looked too mature last night.
Long Mei and Wan Bao were playing rock-paper-scissors. Long Mei lost to Wan Bao on purpose and was punished by Wan Bao.
The two of them were extremely happy.
Seeing Xiao Ying coming down from upstairs, an unnatural look appeared in Long Mei’s smiling eyes. “Sister-in-law, don’t take what happened last night to heart. Seeing that you’re sincere to Long Ming, I’m happy for the two of you.”
Seeing that Long Mei had spoken, Xiao Ying was not a petty person. She walked in front of Long Mei and reached out her hand. “We had to start somewhere. Let’s shake hands and make peace.”
“I didn’t expect Sister-in-law to be such an easy-going person.” Long Mei reached out and shook Xiao Ying’s hand.
After shaking hands with Xiao Ying and making up, Long Mei looked at Wan Bao again. She seemed to have thought of something and her gaze softened. “I wonder when I can have such a beautiful and cute daughter like Wan Bao?”
Hearing Long Mei’s words, Xiao Ying smirked. “Miss Long, you already have a boyfriend, right?”
Long Mei looked at Xiao Ying. She did not expect Xiao Ying to be so smart. From her words, she could already tell that Xiao Ying had a boyfriend.
“This time, Cousin brought you here for a vacation because he wanted to get to know you and also because he wanted you to meet my boyfriend.”
“Sure. A boy who can make Miss Long like him must be very outstanding.”
“Sister-in-law, stop calling me Miss Long. Call me Mei’er!”
“Mei’er.”
Long Mei looked at Xiao Ying, whose personality was much better than she had imagined. She suddenly understood why Long Ming had been so persistent toward her for so many years.
She was indeed a very charming woman!
…
Long Mei had set the venue for the gathering to be at the most luxurious restaurant on the island.
She had booked a private room in advance. After Long Ming and Xiao Ying went out to sea with Wan Bao, they arrived at the restaurant as promised.
Long Mei arrived early, but there was no sign of her boyfriend.
After Long Mei invited the three of them to sit down, she went to the dining room to make a call.
The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.
Long Mei frowned. This time, the call was ended.
After a while, Long Mei received a message from her boyfriend. “Darling, it’s an emergency. I can’t come. Sorry.”
Long Mei stared at the message for a few seconds, her expression slightly dazed.
How could a man who was usually so considerate and accommodating to her requests suddenly miss this appointment?
He knew that she was bringing him to see her family tonight!
In a hotel opposite the restaurant, two tall figures stood in front of the French windows.
One of them was holding a pair of binoculars, observing Long Mei’s dazed expression as she held her phone.
