Tang En had always taken Wan Bao very seriously. If it was not someone he could not resist, he would not have left Wan Bao here alone.
Xiao Ying suppressed the panic and uneasiness in her heart and pulled Wan Bao into her arms. “Baby, don’t be afraid. Mommy will go and find Papa Tang En later.”
Wan Bao looked up from Xiao Ying’s arms and sobbed. “Mommy, go and find Papa now. I’m worried about him.”
Looking at the tears on Wan Bao’s face, Xiao Ying wiped them away gently and nodded. “Okay.”
Xiao Ying called Sister Wen and sent Wan Bao over.
Walking out of the resort villa, Xiao Ying took out her phone and called Long Ming with a heavy heart.
She did not know if he had changed his number, but this set of numbers that she had deleted a long time ago appeared very clearly in her mind when she wanted to contact him.
After dialing the number, the call went through.
As Xiao Ying walked toward the road, she held her phone tightly.
Every beep made her heart beat crazily.
The phone rang for a long time but no one answered until it hung up automatically.
Xiao Ying did not call again. She hailed a taxi and asked the driver to send her to the palace.
After getting into the car, Xiao Ying called Tang En again but his phone was turned off.
If anything happened to Tang En because of her, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life!
Amidst her complicated thoughts, the taxi stopped at the magnificent palace’s entrance.
The security at the door was tight.
Xiao Ying walked over and looked at the new face of the night shift at the door. She said, “I want to see your King. Please inform him that I’m Number 21.”
The person at the door seemed to have not heard her and remained standing straight.
Xiao Ying knew the rules in the palace. It was harder for ordinary people to go in than to ascend to the heavens. Besides, she was asking to see Long Ming!
Xiao Ying walked around the gate twice. Just as she was about to call Long Ming again, an SUV drove over.
As the SUV passed by the guardhouse, the window lowered and the driver showed his identification.
Seeing the person driving, Xiao Ying hurried over. “Mo Tian?”
Hearing someone call him, Mo Tian glanced in Xiao Ying’s direction.
Seeing that it was Xiao Ying, Mo Tian pushed open the door and got out.
“It’s you?” Mo Tian was surprised that Xiao Ying would appear here. After the King returned from the capital, he had become even more cold and dark. Mo Tian knew that the King’s change was related to Xiao Ying.
“Mo Tian, I want to see Long Ming. Can you bring me in?”
Mo Tian asked Xiao Ying to do a full body scan. After confirming that she had not brought any sharp weapons, he got her into the car and drove her into the palace.
…
When they arrived outside Long Ming’s palace, Mo Tian asked Xiao Ying to wait in the car. He wanted to report this to Long Ming first.
Long Ming was having dinner in the garden.
Hearing that Xiao Ying was looking for him urgently, he narrowed his eyes.
Without Long Ming saying anything, Mo Tian did not dare to call Xiao Ying in.
Long Ming finished his dinner slowly and wiped his lips with a napkin, saying coldly, “Let her in.”
After a few minutes, Long Ming heard footsteps and looked up to see Xiao Ying walking over.
There were no emotions on his well-defined and handsome face. His deep and cold eyes stared at Xiao Ying’s frowning face. “I haven’t gone to look for you yet, but you came to me yourself?”
His gaze on her was deep and slightly frivolous, as thought he treated her as a lowly plaything.
Xiao Ying was not in the mood to care about his embarrassing gaze. Looking at his cold and fierce face, she said coldly, “If there’s anything, come at me alone. You’re really daring by kidnapping my husband!”
Mo Tian and the servants who were standing by the side gasped.
All these years, no one had dared to speak to Long Ming like this. Xiao Ying was the only one!
Long Ming picked up the glass of red wine, his long fingers swirling the red liquid in the glass. His expression was unreadable, making him look even more mysterious and hard to read.
Seeing that he was silent, Xiao Ying frowned even more. “Long Ming, Tang En is innocent. Don’t hurt him!”
Long Ming raised his hand and downed the liquid in the glass.
He was wearing a custom-made white shirt. When he raised his hand, it showed the contours of his arms and shoulders, his muscles tensing.
He still did not speak. There was no change in his sharp and cold eyes, but there was a coldness that made people shiver. Because his hand that was holding the wine glass tightened, the veins on the back of his hand could be seen faintly.
The temperature in the air dropped significantly.
Xiao Ying did not have the patience to wait any longer. She went forward and snatched the wine glass from Long Ming’s hand. “Say something!”
Xiao Ying’s actions made the people around her not dare to breathe.
This woman was really daring!
Long Ming smirked, a cold smirk appearing on his cold face.
He glanced at the furious Xiao Ying and reached out his hand. Xiao Ying’s wrist was grabbed by him and before she could react, he pulled her into his arms.
Xiao Ying jumped in surprise when she fell onto his lap.
She struggled to stand up as he held her waist tightly.
His other hand lifted her chin, his hawk-like eyes staring at her as if he wanted to swallow her. “Your husband was kidnapped and you came to find me?”
Xiao Ying froze.
Was it not him?
Xiao Ying wanted to see something from his face, but there were no emotions on his face, so she could not read his thoughts.
“If it wasn’t you, I’m sorry for having disturbed you.”
Long Ming looked at the woman who was struggling to leave and a scoff sounded from the depths of his throat. “Number 21, not only did you forget my warning to you, you even came to me. Tell me, how should I punish you?”
His voice was low and cold, making people shudder when they heard it.
Goosebumps appeared on Xiao Ying’s arms.
Before she could say anything, he suddenly leaned down, burying his handsome face in her slender neck.
Then, a sharp pain hit her.
He had bitten her neck.
A little further and it would have been a large artery, a fatal injury.
Xiao Ying’s face immediately paled. She grabbed the glass of wine and poured it on his head.
“Number 21, how dare you!” Mo Tian walked over, planning to subdue Xiao Ying.
Long Ming raised his hand, gesturing for the people in the garden to leave.
Mo Tian could only stop and leave with the servants.
When only Long Ming and Xiao Ying were left in the garden, Long Ming stared at Xiao Ying coldly for a few seconds. Suddenly, he waved his hand and pulled the table cloth away. The plates and wine glasses on the table fell to the ground with a crisp sound and the floor was in a mess.
Long Ming grabbed Xiao Ying’s wrist and threw her onto the dining table.
