When the man with the binoculars saw Long Mei’s dazed look, a trace of heartache appeared in his eyes. He threw the binoculars down and planned to go out.
The other man spoke expressionlessly, “So, your decision is choosing her, right?”
The man stopped in his tracks.
He glared at the expressionless man with red eyes. “You can’t do this to me!”
“I’m the head of the family now. It’s my business how I want to treat you, but if you don’t listen to me, don’t blame me for destroying what you care the most about!”
The man looked at the man who had become exceptionally cold-blooded and heartless. At the thought of his family who were still imprisoned by him, his shoulders slowly drooped.
“What do you want me to do? Tell me everything now!”
…
Seeing that Long Mei had gone out to make a call for a while, Xiao Ying was worried that something might have happened. After informing Long Ming, she walked out of the room.
Long Mei stood outside the restaurant, her exquisite body leaning against the wall as she stared at the darkened phone screen, looking a little dazed.
“Mei’er, have you contacted your boyfriend?”
Hearing Xiao Ying’s voice, Long Mei slowly regained her senses and shook her head. “He said that he had something urgent today and couldn’t come.”
Seeing the disappointment in Long Ying’s eyes, Xiao Ying grabbed her hand and comforted her, “It’s alright. There will be a chance to meet again.”
Usually, her boyfriend was very obedient and doted on Long Mei. This was the first time he had rejected her.
Long Mei suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and nodded at Xiao Ying. “It’s fine if you don’t want to come. I won’t let him come next time.”
Xiao Ying smiled without saying anything.
No matter how good a girl was, she would not be able to control herself once she fell into the swamp of emotions.
When they arrived at the room, Long Mei explained the situation to Long Ming. Long Ming did not say anything, only telling Long Mei to open her eyes in the future and not be deceived by an unreliable man.
On the way back to the villa, Xiao Ying could not help but say to Long Ming, “Why did you say that about your cousin? Her boyfriend couldn’t come because he had something on. How did he become an unreliable man?”
“He knows that Long Mei doesn’t have many family members. He’s usually so protective of her, but when he’s supposed to meet her family, he uses the excuse of being busy. If he’s not unreliable, what is it?”
“Maybe something really happened!” Xiao Ying felt that a man who could make Long Mei fall for him should not be too bad!
Long Ming did not care about Long Mei’s love life. Besides, Long Mei had her own opinions and it was not his place to teach her anything.
…
On the third day of vacation.
Xiao Ying got up and finished her breakfast. Seeing that the weather was good, she wanted to swim in the sea.
Hearing that Xiao Ying was going to swim, Long Ming’s expression darkened.
Although she did not bring out a bikini with little fabric, the swimsuit she liked still revealed her arms and legs.
Xiao Ying saw through Long Ming’s thoughts and she stopped him from saying what he wanted to say. “Aren’t you a little too old-fashioned? There are many sexy and cool clothes on the beach. The set I brought over is considered conservative!”
Long Ming pursed his lips tightly. “Put on sunscreen.”
Seeing him take a step back, Xiao Ying smiled and nodded. “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
Xiao Ying changed into her swimsuit and put on sunscreen. Long Ming also changed into beach pants and a white t-shirt before he led Wan Bao to the beach.
When they arrived at the beach, Wan Bao wanted to drink juice. Long Ming passed her to Xiao Ying. “I’ll go buy two glasses of juice. You can go into the water when I’m here.”
After Long Ming left, Wan Bao started to play with the sand. Xiao Ying stood behind Wan Bao and looked at her.
After a while, a young man full of muscles walked over. The man had dark skin, but his facial features were very well-defined. It was obvious that he was someone who was often under the sun. He looked healthy and energetic.
“Beauty, what a coincidence to see you again.”
Seeing the man talking to her, Xiao Ying frowned in confusion. “Have we met before?”
“TBeauty has never seen me before, but I saw you when you were dancing at Mei Pavilion the night before. I was stunned by your classical dance.”
Xiao Ying hummed indifferently.
“Beauty, I don’t mean anything else. It’s just that my female companion sprained her ankle at the last minute when several of our teams are holding a Water Flyer performance. I want to ask if you can be my female companion? If we win, I can give you free entry for a year.”
Xiao Ying rejected without thinking. “I’m sorry, I can’t.” It wasn’t that she couldn’t, but she was with Long Ming now. If she agreed to this man, Long Ming would definitely be angry when he came over.
That fellow was as sharp as a needle.
The man glanced at Xiao Ying, who was playing with the sand in front of her. He seemed to have thought of something and continued, “Beauty, you’re married, right? Are you worried that your husband will have a problem with it? Can I talk to your husband? Actually, our Water Flyer project is very fun and safe. It won’t have any negative implications on you…”
Before Xiao Ying could say anything, a cold voice sounded from behind her. “I dare you to let another man play with you.”
Xiao Ying turned back and looked at the man who had brought two glasses of juice over. She then turned back to look at the young man. “I’m sorry, you should find someone else!”
The young man glanced at Long Ming, who was behind Xiao Ying. Seeing that he was tall, cold, and strong, and his hawk-like eyes were dark and cold, he could not help but shiver.
However, at the thought of the competition later, he had to muster up his courage.
He had searched the beach for a while, but had not found a female companion more suitable than Xiao Ying.
“Sir, it’s just a project. Many tourists usually spend money to play. You really don’t have to be too worried. We abide by the rules…”
Long Ming interrupted the young man’s words coldly. “Rules? Don’t you have to hug her waist when you’re flying at sea? Don’t you have to be very close?”
The young man was stunned by Long Ming’s question.
He had been a coach for several years and many of the female tourists participated in their activity also had boyfriends and husbands, but he had never seen anyone like this man in front of him.
Wasn’t that normal physical contact?
The young man wanted to say something, but Xiao Ying interrupted him in time. “Why don’t you go find another female companion? I’m not interested in this.”
The young man furrowed his eyebrows. As he walked forward, he muttered softly, “What era are we in now? How could he still have such traditional ideas? He should let his wife have some fun even if he doesn’t want to.”
Long Ming’s hearing had always been sharp, so he heard every word the young man said.
Originally, he would not be calculative with an ordinary person over such a small matter, but what did he mean by letting his wife have some fun even if he didn’t want to?
The young man took a few steps forward when someone patted his shoulder. He turned back and met Long Ming’s deep black eyes. His pupils constricted in fear. “Y-You’re not going to hit me, are you?”
