Xiao Ying widened her eyes, staring at the man who had appeared at the entrance of the restaurant in disbelief.

  W-why was he here?

  The man with a strong and intimidating aura was like a volcano that was about to erupt. His well-defined face was tensed and he exuded a sharp aura that would kill anyone who provoked him.

  Xiao Ying’s heart thumped.

  She had not done anything to betray him, but she could not help but feel guilty upon seeing his expression!

  Seeing that something was wrong with her, Devin, who was sitting opposite Xiao Ying, looked back.

  Seeing a tall man in a black coat walking over, he asked in confusion, “Miss Ying, do you know each other?”


  Xiao Ying supported her forehead. “He’s my jealous king.”


  She had wanted to give him a surprise, but it seemed like she wouldn’t be able to do so.

  Long Ming walked to Xiao Ying’s side and narrowed his eyes. “I thought you were here to see Mei’er. Why are you eating with a man?”


  Long Ming glanced at the man from the corner of his eyes.

  The man was tall and thin, looking very fair and handsome. He had the aura of an artist.

  Long Ming pursed his lips tightly. Being in a high position all year round, he still had a kingly aura around him even if he did not speak.

  Xiao Ying knew Long Ming’s temper. After apologizing to Devin, she stood up from the chair and grabbed Long Ming’s hand, walking out.

  When they reached an empty corner, Xiao Ying finally let go of him. However, the next second, he grabbed her again.

  He pinched her fingers tightly, his deep eagle-like eyes filled with a strong sense of danger.

  Xiao Ying met his deep eyes and her heart seemed to skip a beat.

  Lowering her thick and long eyelashes, Xiao Ying stared at their toes that were pressed together and she suddenly smiled.

  The stiff and cold atmosphere was eased by her smile.

  Long Ming’s well-defined fingers grabbed Xiao Ying’s chin and lifted her smiling face. His face was still tense. “What are you laughing at?”


  The soft light around her landed on her slender and beautiful neck and he could vaguely see the small hairs on her ears. She was so soft and beautiful. Long Ming suddenly felt like a bottle of mixed feelings had been knocked over in his heart. His hand on her chin tightened. “You came to date that gigolo?”


  Recently, she had been so mysterious and did not let him know anything. Was it because of that gigolo?

  Xiao Ying knew that if she continued to hide it, this person would be extremely jealous and might go and beat up Devin.

  She swatted away his hand that was pinching her chin and glared at him. She puffed up her cheeks and said, “What gigolo? That’s the famous designer, Devin. I asked him to design my wedding dress and gown for me. I wanted to give you a surprise, but you’re so jealous. If I really wanted to find a gigolo, why would I wait until today?”


  Hearing Xiao Ying’s explanation, Long Ming pursed his lips into a straight line. “You can find a female designer.”


  Xiao Ying clenched her fists and punched his firm shoulders. “Why are you so petty? To be honest, Devin likes Mei’er!”


  Hearing this, the man’s cold expression improved a little.

  However, very quickly, he took out his phone and made a call. “Check on Devin.” Because of Long Mei’s previous relationship, Long Ming doubted her taste in men. To be safe, he would only be at ease if he found out about Devin’s personality.

  Xiao Ying did not say anything. If she spoke up for Devin, this man would definitely be jealous again!

  …


  Long Ming only agreed to let Xiao Ying return to the restaurant after finding out about Devin. Of course, he went with her.

  Devin had already guessed Long Ming’s identity when Xiao Ying pulled him out of the restaurant.

  After dinner, Long Ming and Xiao Ying went for a walk on the beach.

  Long Ming walked in front while Xiao Ying walked behind him. Her fair feet stepped on his footprints and she opened her arms, facing the sea breeze as a happy smile appeared on her lips.

  “Long Ying, I love you.” The man walking in front of her suddenly stopped and looked at her.

  Xiao Ying brushed the hair by her ear and her smile deepened. “I can’t hear what you’re saying.”


  “I love you!”


  “I love you!”


  “Je t’aime.”


  “Ti amo…”


  “Ya vas lyublyu.”


  …


  He confessed to her in various languages!

  His voice was low and magnetic, like wine that had been brewing for many years, making people intoxicated.

  Many tourists who were strolling on the beach looked at them.

  But the two of them did not care about other people’s gazes and hugged each other tightly.

  Xiao Ying hugged Long Ming’s neck and stood on tiptoes, saying in his ear, “Me too.”


  …


  Mei Pavilion.

  After finding out from Devin that Long Ming had come, a smile appeared on Long Mei’s innocent and charming face. “Don’t mind him. My brother is a jealous person. He’ll be jealous of anyone who talks to my sister-in-law.”


  Devin smiled. “He cares a lot about Miss Ying.”


  Long Mei was cutting fruits when a strand of hair brushed against her cheek, making her feel a little uncomfortable. When Devin saw this, he tucked her hair behind her ear.

  Both of them were slightly stunned when his fingertips touched Long Mei’s smooth and smooth skin.

  Long Mei was the first to react. Seeing the unnatural expression on Devin’s handsome face, she smiled graciously. “Thank you!”


  Devin looked at Long Mei’s exquisite side profile and opened his mouth. “Mei’er, actually…”


  “I almost forgot. The manager just came and said that a VIP wants to see me.” Long Mei washed her hands and brought the plate of fruits to Devin. “This is for my good friend.”


  Devin looked at Long Mei’s departing figure with disappointment in his eyes.

  She had passed the fruit platter to him, emphasizing the word ‘good friend’.

  What she meant was that they could only be good friends.

  Devin knew that she had suffered because of her previous relationship and her hurt would not heal so easily. However, he would not give up so easily.

  …


  Long Mei went to the most luxurious and expensive private room on the second floor.

  She looked at the manager beside her. “Do you know who the client is?”


  The manager shook his head. “I’m not sure. The guest asked you to bring the wine over.”


  Long Mei was holding a bottle of Mei Pavilion’s most expensive wine and she knocked on the door.

  Soon, the door opened.

  Two rows of bodyguards in black stood outside the room.

  Seeing Long Mei enter, they all bent down and bowed to her.

  Long Mei frowned and took a few steps forward.

  She had a strange feeling that she did not really want to see the person in the room.

  Long Mei wanted to leave, but the bodyguards blocked the door. “Miss Long, our Young Master invites you in.”


  Young Master?

  A faint sneer appeared on Long Mei’s lips.

  She held the bottle tightly and walked toward the room.

  Pushing open the door, she saw a tall and thin figure standing in front of the French windows. He had a cigarette in one hand and a hand in his pocket.

  He had the aura of a socialite.
