When they arrived at the villa, Long Ming had no intention of leaving.

  On the way back, although Wan Bao was being carried by Long Ming, the little girl was not in a good mood and was a little unhappy.

  After Wan Bao returned, she went to the garden.

  Sitting on the swing, her large eyes were glistening with tears.

  Xiao Ying walked over and caressed Wan Bao’s head. “Did you miss Papa Tang En?”


  Wan Bao nodded.

  The little girl would throw a tantrum occasionally and Xiao Ying could not do anything about that sometimes.

  Xiao Ying furrowed her eyebrows. Just as she was about to use Tang En’s busy work schedule as an excuse to coax the little girl, Long Ming, who had walked over, suddenly said, “Wan Bao, do you want to eat chocolate?”


  Wan Bao pouted her pink lips as she looked at Long Ming. There were still tears on her doll-like eyelashes and they looked like they were about to fall, making Long Ming’s heart ache.

  “I want to, but Mommy won’t let me.”


  Long Ming glanced at Xiao Ying, who was beside him. Xiao Ying was about to say something when Long Ming spoke first. “Then, Uncle will give Wan Bao a chocolate now. Wan Bao has to eat it happily, okay?” Long Ming stretched out his long fingers and snapped his fingers in front of Wan Bao’s face. Suddenly, a chocolate appeared on his finger. Wan Bao opened her mouth, looking shocked. “Wow, Uncle. You’re amazing!”


  Xiao Ying was also stunned. She was very close to Long Ming but could not see where the chocolate had come from.

  Wan Bao jumped down from the swing and took the chocolate from Long Ming. “Cool Uncle, I want another one.”


  Long Ming used the same method to make another chocolate.

  Wan Bao was so excited that she forgot that she was thinking about Papa Tang En.

  “Cool Uncle, how did you make this chocolate?” Wan Bao blinked her pretty eyes, completely treating Long Ming as her idol.

  “It’s a secret.”


  Long Ming peeled the packaging open for Wan Bao and fed the chocolate to her. Wan Bao took a bite and let out a satisfied sigh. “Wow, it’s so delicious!”


  Wan Bao gave Long Ming a thumbs up. “Cool Uncle, you’re amazing!”


  Xiao Ying stared in disbelief at Long Ming, who had managed to coax Wan Bao into a smile.

  She could not tell that a man who was usually as cold as Hades was actually so good at coaxing children.

  After Wan Bao finished the two chocolates, she still wanted to eat more. Long Ming did not indulge her and his long hand caressed her head. “You can’t eat more every day, or else you’ll get tooth decay. But if Wan Bao is obedient, Uncle will create more things that Wan Bao likes next time.”


  Wan Bao’s beautiful eyes immediately lit up. She reached out her pink arms and hugged Long Ming’s neck, taking the initiative to kiss his handsome face. “I still want to eat chicken wings, burgers, chips, and have many Barbie dolls…”


  “Alright, as long as Wan Bao is obedient, I can fulfill your wish.”


  Xiao Ying could not stand it anymore. “Don’t spoil her too much. She even wants to move the supermarket and amusement park home!”


  Long Ming stood up, his deep eyes meeting Xiao Ying’s as his scarlet lips moved. “Why not? I’ll go back to the palace and get someone to build an amusement park.”


  Xiao Ying was speechless. It was impossible to communicate with such a person.

  …


  After Long Ming found out that Wan Bao was his daughter, Xiao Ying had become excessive.

  Apart asking Xiao Ying to help her with taking a bath, Wan Bao spent the rest of her time playing with Long Ming.

  Xiao Ying had never seen such a childish side of Long Ming. He could watch cartoons with Wan Bao, do handiwork with her, listen to nursery rhymes with her, and even teach Wan Bao how to punch and somersault.

  Seeing that the father and daughter were getting along so well, Xiao Ying did not disturb them.

  After Wan Bao fell asleep, Long Ming walked to the door of the master bedroom. Looking at the woman sitting by the bed, he pursed his lips. “Long Ying, come out.”


  He called her Long Ying again!

  Xiao Ying put down her book and followed him to the living room downstairs with a tense expression.

  “If I didn’t do the DNA test, would you have hidden it from me for the rest of your life?” The more Long Ming interacted with Wan Bao, the more he liked her. At the thought that Tang En had been by her side since she was born while he had done nothing as her biological father, he wanted to strangle this woman to death.

  Seeing the coldness reflected in Long Ming’s dark eyes, Xiao Ying’s scalp turned numb.

  He was right. If he had not done the DNA test, she would never have admitted to it.

  Xiao Ying looked down and said softly, “Long Ming, I know it’s selfish of me to do this, but Wan Bao is my life. If you miss her, you can come and see her. I’ll guide her slowly too. You’re her biological father.”


  Long Ming scoffed coldly. His large hand suddenly grabbed Xiao Ying’s slender shoulders and shook her hard, as if he wanted to shake her organs out. “You’ve always been so cruel to me, haven’t you?”


  Xiao Ying endured the discomfort in her body and looked at him coldly. “Long Ming, have you forgotten that you’re engaged to Lou Lan? You already have a fiancée.” Seeming to have thought of something, she added, “I won’t be your lover.”


  “Who the f*ck asked you to be my lover? I’ll give you two choices. Either you return to the palace with me to be a Princess Consort, or we’ll go through the legal channels and see who can win the lawsuit and take custody of Wan Bao!”


  If he was an ordinary person, Xiao Ying would definitely have the confidence to win the lawsuit, but he was not an ordinary person.

  If she really fought a lawsuit, she would definitely lose!

  As for being his Princess Consort, that was something she did not even dare to think about!

  How could he not care about the past, the difference in status, the grudges…


  “Long Ming, if you give up on Lou Lan and marry me, people will criticize and look down on you!” If Xiao Ying’s past identity was exposed, she would still be condemned by everyone.

  A woman like her was only suitable to live the most ordinary life in a crowd. Once she became Long Ming’s Princess Consort and was exposed to the public, all kinds of problems and troubles would come one after another.

  By then, not only would she be hurt, he and Wan Bao would also be hurt.

  Long Ming stared at Xiao Ying with dark eyes. “Even though I’ll face many difficulties marrying you, I’m not afraid. If you’re willing to marry me, I’ll marry you.”


  Xiao Ying did not know why the two of them started talking about marriage from the topic of children.

  Her mind was in a mess.

  “You don’t have to reply so quickly. I’ll give you three days to consider.”


  …


  Xiao Ying returned to the bedroom, took a shower, and lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.,

  The young Long Ming was exquisite, dark and pure.

  The adult Long Ming was arrogant and cold, exuding affection.

  The words he had said that night made her originally stagnant heart feel slight ripples.

  Long Ming was the man she had hurt the most, but he was also the one who loved her the most.

  Would things really end well between them?

  Xiao Ying did not dare to have any extravagant hopes, but she still held onto a small hope.
