Long Ming stared at the two hands in front of him.

  When had she taken the initiative other than when she had used him back then?

  But now, she was hugging him tightly.

  The cool night breeze was mixed with her faint fragrance and the smell of blood.

  However, he felt that it smelled exceptionally good.

  His heart was beating crazily because of her tightened arms.

  Xiao Ying hugged his body for a few seconds, but he did not push her away. She thought that he was finally willing to confess to her, but very quickly, he pulled her hands away.

  He turned around and pushed her thin shoulders.

  She kept retreating until her body was pressed against the tree.

  He looked at her sharply, wanting to devour her. “You damned woman, you’ve lied to me all day. Are you addicted to lying?”


  When he saw the red patch on her chest, his temple could not help but twitch.

  “Putting aside what happened in the past, weren’t you the one who lied to me first?” Xiao Ying stared straight into his deep eyes. She was glad that she had not left this place on impulse. Otherwise, she would not be soft-hearted no matter how he explained to her in the future given her personality.

  She was not someone who could not live without a man.

  On the contrary, when she was on missions in the past, she had approached all kinds of men. She had seen through the evilness of people’s hearts and did not have too many fantasies about feelings.

  She was already very happy to be able to live a normal life.

  If Long Ming’s love and persistence had not touched her heart, she would not have been willing to go through so much for a man.

  Long Ming stared at her coldly. “If you use death to lie to me again, I won’t let you off.”


  Xiao Ying was amused by his words. She lifted her exquisite chin, her beautiful eyes sparkling in the dark. “Oh? How are you not going to let me off?”


  Long Ming clenched his fists. “I’ll punch you.”


  With that said, his fist swung toward her.

  Xiao Ying looked at his tensed and cold face and stormy eyes. Thinking that he really wanted to beat her up, she hurriedly closed her eyes.

  Long Ming really swung his fist down.

  Xiao Ying felt a sharp wind from the punch and she closed her eyes even tighter. It had been too long since she had been hit and her eyelashes fluttered.

  Crash!

  His fist landed on the tree above her head.

  Xiao Ying opened her eyes and saw that his fist was covered in blood. She was shocked and grabbed his hand. “Are you crazy?”


  Long Ming glared at her coldly. “Why don’t you listen to me?”


  “I’m not your doll. Why should I be at your beck and call?” She held his injured hand. He had used a lot of strength to punch the tree just now and blood was flowing out from the injured area. It was obvious that it was very painful. She blew at his wound. “Long Ming, what haven’t I experienced? Don’t underestimate me.”


  The back of his injured hand was covered by her warm breath. Long Ming’s eyes darkened and a strange feeling rose in his heart.

  He retracted his hand and looked at the swamp. “Listen to me and go back immediately.”


  “If you don’t explain yourself clearly, I won’t go back.”


  Long Ming took out a cigarette and lighter from his pocket. He lit the cigarette and took a puff with narrowed eyes. “Mo Tian betrayed me.”


  Xiao Ying’s heart thumped crazily.

  A mocking smile appeared on Long Ming’s lips. “Every time, the person I trust the most will betray me. Do you think it’s my problem?”


  Xiao Ying knew that the person he said he trusted the most included her.

  Xiao Ying looked at the swamp in front of her. She could not imagine how he had managed to escape when he had been trapped inside there.

  But…


  “You almost died here. Although I can’t absolve myself from the blame, I never thought of leaving you behind. At that time, I was knocked out by Ba Er’s men. When I woke up, I came back quietly to find you.”


  Xiao Ying looked at his face covered by the smoke and frowned. “Mo Tian has been with you for so many years. How could he betray you so easily?”


  Long Ming’s deep eyes glanced at Xiao Ying. “Do you think he wouldn’t betray me?”


  Xiao Ying nodded. “Although I haven’t had much contact with Mo Tian, I don’t think he would do that with my understanding of him.”


  “But he gave the enemy a chance.”


  Xiao Ying pursed her lips. “Maybe he had no choice.”


  Long Ming threw the cigarette on the floor and stubbed it out. “You sure know how to find excuses for him.”


  Without waiting for Xiao Ying to say anything, Long Ming looked at his watch. “It’s almost dawn. I have to go.”


  Xiao Ying walked in front of Long Ming and pulled his arm. Suddenly, she stood on tiptoes and kissed his well-defined handsome face. “Is this matter related to Long Di?”


  …


  …


  After dawn, Xiao Ying had planned to book a flight back to R Country.

  After Sister Wen found out that she was here, she asked her to go to the branch office.

  After reporting the situation at the main company to Sister Wen, Sister Wen said that the colleagues from the branch office were having a gathering at the bar tonight and asked Xiao Ying to stay here for one more night before going back tomorrow.

  On the way back to the hotel, Xiao Ying vaguely felt that someone was following her.

  Sitting in the taxi, she quietly looked behind through the rearview mirror.

  She deliberately let the driver take two more turns and found a dark-colored SUV following behind the taxi.

  …


  In the evening.

  When Xiao Ying came out of the hotel, she was wearing a long black dress. The sharp lines outlined her slender and beautiful figure.

  Her waist-length hair fell over her slender back, revealing her shoulders and arms. The lines were beautiful and her skin was fair.

  The moment Xiao Ying entered the bar, she attracted the attention of many people.

  Sister Wen and her colleagues from the branch were sitting in a corner of the lobby. Seeing Xiao Ying coming over, Sister Wen waved at her.

  The atmosphere in the bar was high. After Xiao Ying and Sister Wen had a few drinks, a man came over to invite her to dance on the dance floor.

  Xiao Ying did not refuse.

  …


  In the VIP room on the second floor of the bar.

  The man with a dark expression stared at the woman in the black dress on the dance floor.

  The woman’s slender waist moved agilely, her long hair swaying with the rhythm, blocking her charming face from time to time, revealing only a pair of charming fox eyes.

  The mole under her eyes was extremely charming.

  No matter what kind of dance it was, she was able to dance to it and was even able to stun everyone with that.

  Back then, he had been attracted by her seductive dance and charming face.

  He had treated her as a treasure and doted on her.

  But what about her?

  For Long Ming, she had even given up her life.

  Once he sat in Long Ming’s position, he would bring her into the palace to torture and humiliate her ruthlessly, making her live a life worse than death!

  After the dance, Xiao Ying let Sister Wen know before she went to the washroom.

  She touched up her makeup and was about to go out when a figure suddenly appeared behind her.

  Through the mirror, their eyes met.
