“A woman rushed over just now and I almost bumped into her.” The driver glanced at Long Ming fearfully and said carefully, “Your Majesty, I’ll go down and take a look.”


  Long Ming hummed coldly and lowered his head, focusing on the document in his hand once more.

  After the driver got out of the car, he looked at Xiao Ying, who had regained her composure. “Miss, are you alright?”


  Xiao Ying shook her head. “It’s alright. It was my fault just now. I’m sorry.”


  The window at the back of the car was open and Long Ming, who had always had sharp hearing, heard a familiar female voice.

  He looked out of the window.

  Seeing that the person speaking to the driver was the woman he had ordered not to appear in front of him again, the hand holding the document tightened unconsciously.

  Why was she here?

  How long had it been? Did she treat his words as nothing?

  After a while, the driver returned to the car.

  Seeing Long Ming staring at Xiao Ying’s departing figure with a dark expression, the driver explained, “Your Majesty, she didn’t touch the car. I saw that she had something urgent so I asked her to leave.”


  Long Ming’s long legs were crossed together, his well-defined fingers tapping against his knees rhythmically. His cold and dangerous eyes reflected a coldness that the driver could not understand. “Follow her.”


  Xiao Ying hailed a taxi and rushed to the hospital.

  All her attention was on Wan Bao, so she did not notice the luxurious car following behind her.

  …


  After Xiao Ying arrived at the hospital, she rushed to the children’s clinic.

  Wan Bao was having an injection and her usually pink face was slightly pale. She fell asleep in Tang En’s arms, looking obedient and pitiful.

  “Senior, how’s Wan Bao?”


  “She got a stomach ache but she’s fine.”


  Xiao Ying had been busy with work recently and Tang En had been taking care of Wan Bao. Taking care of children was not as easy as working. Seeing the faint shadow under Tang En’s eyes, Xiao Ying said guiltily, “Senior, it’s been hard on you recently.”


  She wanted to take the Wan Bao from Tang En’s arms, but Tang En shook his hand. “She just fell asleep. Don’t wake her up.”


  Xiao Ying could only nod.

  Two hours later, after Wan Bao was done with her injection, Xiao Ying and Tang En left the hospital with Wan Bao in their arms.

  Long Ming’s car was parked at an inconspicuous place.

  He was like a ferocious beast lurking in the shadows, his deep eyes exuding a cold and dangerous aura, and his thin lips pursed tightly.

  Xiao Ying was wearing a professional suit, a white shirt, and a black short skirt. Her exposed legs were slender and straight.

  She walked out of the hospital and was answering a call.

  After ending the call, she looked behind her, as if waiting for someone important.

  After a while, Long Ming saw a gentle smile on Xiao Ying’s elegant and beautiful face. “Senior, let me carry Wan Bao!”


  Tang En handed Wan Bao to Xiao Ying. Wan Bao had been given an injection and she was still a little unhappy. She leaned on Xiao Ying’s thin shoulders and looked at Tang En, sticking out her pink tongue playfully. “Papa, you have to buy me chocolate cake tonight!”


  Xiao Ying tapped on Wan Bao’s buttocks. “Did you forget what Uncle Doctor said? You can’t eat chocolate for now.”


  “Wow, the price to pay for being sick is too high.” Wan Bao hugged Xiao Ying’s neck and acted cute. “Mommy, will I be able to eat once I recover?”


  “It’s useless to act coquettishly when you’re sick now.”


  “Mommy, Mommy, Mommy…”


  …


  In the luxurious car hidden in the dark, Long Ming saw the little girl in Xiao Ying’s arms. Hearing the little girl calling her Mommy and calling the man Papa, his hawk-like eyes narrowed.

  The man beside Xiao Ying was the one who had video-called her at the hotel in the capital.

  He was also her husband. Now, her surname was Tang and she was using her husband’s surname.

  Long Ming glanced at that man. He was fair, clean, and handsome. A typical gentleman.

  Xiao Ying had always liked men of that type. She had experienced darkness and had been stained with blood, so she desired hope and a clean soul.

  Long Ming’s gaze moved away from the man and landed on the girl Xiao Ying was hugging.

  Suddenly, he heard the little girl call that man ‘Papa’, and then he heard the little girl call Xiao Ying ‘Mommy’.

  Could the little girl be Xiao Ying and the man’s child?

  Not only were they married, they even had a cute and beautiful daughter?

  Long Ming’s well-defined face immediately darkened. The coldness exuding from his body almost froze the surrounding air.

  The driver in front was trembling and did not dare to breathe.

  He was secretly puzzled. Who was that woman who had almost hit the car?

  The King had always had a bad temper and did not have much patience. Even when he was having dinner with his fiancée, Lou Lan, he would not wait for her for a minute if she was late but he had actually waited for more than two hours just now.

  In the end, what greeted him was a warm and sweet scene of the family of three chatting and laughing.

  Long Ming only spoke coldly after the family of three got into the taxi and disappeared from his sight. “Go back to the palace.”


  Returning to the palace, Long Ming came out of the bathroom after taking a bath. He was wearing a dark-colored sleeping robe, the belt around his waist loosely tied. The collar of the bathrobe was slightly opened, revealing his exquisite collarbones and his sexy chest.

  He took his phone and called Mo Tian. His voice was cold. “Investigate why Number 21 is here.”


  Had she forgotten his warning?

  How dare she bring her husband and daughter to his territory so blatantly?

  Had he been too kind in front of her?

  …


  Back at the resort villa, Xiao Ying gave Wan Bao a bath and the mother and daughter chatted on the bed.

  “Mommy, did you have a nightmare last night?”


  Xiao Ying pulled Wan Bao into her arms, her fingers caressing her long black hair. “Why do you say that?”


  “I heard Mommy crying. Mommy seemed to have called for an uncle in her dream. His surname seems to be Long…”


  Xiao Ying was shocked.

  She had indeed had a nightmare last night. In her dream, Long Ming had found out about the existence of Wan Bao and wanted to snatch custody of her from her.

  “Mommy, is that Uncle Long very bad? He made Mommy cry, so I don’t like Uncle Long anymore.”


  Xiao Ying kissed Wan Bao’s forehead. “Little fool, no one can bully Mommy. Besides, dreams are not real. Wan Bao, don’t worry about Mommy.”


  Wan Bao leaned on Xiao Ying, blinking her big eyes. “Mommy, I heard from the children in kindergarten that their Papa and Mommy sleep together. Why doesn’t Mommy sleep with Papa?”


  This question really stumped Xiao Ying. She did not know how to answer Wan Bao.

  Just then, Xiao Ying’s phone rang.

  “Baby, Mommy will answer the call first.”


  Xiao Ying took her phone and went out of the room. She was slightly stunned when she saw the caller ID on the screen.
