Chapter 1687 - The Number One Love Rival Arrives
Chapter 1687: The Number One Love Rival Arrives
Xiao Ying only fell asleep at five in the morning. The nanny woke up with Wan Bao and did not wake Xiao Ying up.
Xiao Ying slept until the afternoon.
She got out of bed to wash up and drew the curtains open. When she saw a black sedan parked downstairs, she hurriedly walked out of the room.
There were voices coming from downstairs.
Xiao Ying listened carefully. It was Cen Xi and Long Ming talking.
Xiao Xi was here?
Xiao Ying ran downstairs.
When she arrived downstairs, not only did she see Cen Xi, but she also saw Qiao Yanze, who had just come in from the yard.
This was the first time Qiao Yanze and Cen Xi had come here after they got married.
Xiao Ying was surprised.
Because she was too surprised, she stared at Qiao Yanze for a few more seconds.
Long Ming, who was talking to Cen Xi, caught Xiao Ying’s gaze from the corner of his eye. His handsome and cold face immediately darkened.
“Sister.” Cen Xi saw Xiao Ying coming down and a smile appeared on her cold and charming face.
Xiao Ying hurriedly walked toward Cen Xi and grabbed her hands. “Why did you suddenly come? Why didn’t you call me and ask me to pick you up?”
“Yanze happened to be on his annual leave and I wanted to go abroad for a walk, so I thought of R Country. I can also see Sister and Little Cutie at the same time.”
The nanny came back with Wan Bao who had gone out to play. Seeing Cen Xi coming over, Wan Bao flew toward her like a happy butterfly. “Pretty Auntie.”
“Wan Bao, be careful. There’s still a little brother in Auntie’s tummy.”
“Sister, it’s alright.” Cen Xi no longer experienced morning sickness and was feeling alright now. She crouched down and took out an exquisite and beautiful Barbie doll. “Does Little Cutie like it?”
Wan Bao nodded hurriedly. “Yes, yes. The doll given by the pretty auntie is as pretty as her!”
“Little Cutie really knows how to talk.” Cen Xi grabbed Wan Bao’s hand and brought her to Qiao Yanze. “Little Cutie, do you know who he is?”
Wan Bao had never seen Qiao Yanze in person before, but she had seen his photo. Seeing that Qiao Yanze was even more handsome than in the photo, she exclaimed, “Uncle is so tall and handsome. He’s comparable to Cool Uncle!”
Qiao Yanze caressed Wan Bao’s head and took out a doll for her.
Wan Bao was overjoyed about receiving another gift.
Xiao Ying led Cen Xi and Qiao Yanze to sit on the sofa. She turned around and saw Long Ming looking at her with a dark expression. She touched her nose, not knowing how she had provoked him again.
Xiao Ying went into the kitchen to cut some fruits.
Long Ming followed her in.
The kitchen was not small, but when the man stood there, the space immediately became cramped.
Xiao Ying pretended not to see him and took some fruits from the fridge to wash them.
The man stood not too far away from her. He took out a lighter from his pocket and lit a cigar.
He exhaled white smoke through his thin lips and his deep eyes landed on her through the smoke…
Soon, the air around her was filled with the scent of tobacco. Similarly, his gaze landed squarely on her.
Xiao Ying thought of what he had said last night and her heart thumped faster.
After washing the grapes, she put them on the plate. Seeing that the man’s deep gaze was still on her, she could not help but turn back to glare at him. “What are you looking at? Haven’t you seen a beauty washing fruits before?”
Long Ming pursed his lips and said nothing.
Xiao Ying ignored him and started to cut the dragon fruit.
The man put out his cigar and took a few steps forward.
Feeling the man approach, Xiao Ying turned her head subconsciously. She did not expect the man to be so close to her and her lips accidentally touched his well-defined handsome face. She leaned back instinctively, but the next second, her pretty face was grabbed by his large palm.
“Do you still have him in your heart?”
Xiao Ying’s eyelashes fluttered and she understood what he meant. She sprinkled water at his face. “Are you crazy?”
Staring at her angry face, Long Ming narrowed his eyes. “When he came, you stared at him for at least ten seconds.”
“It’s his first time here. I was a little surprised and forgot to look away for a while. How could you think that I still have feelings for him?” Xiao Ying swatted his hand away. “I don’t like him anymore.”
Hearing her words, Long Ming leaned his cold and tall body against the kitchen counter. The coldness he had earlier disappeared and a faint smile appeared on his thin lips. “Oh? You don’t like him anymore? Who do you like?”
Xiao Ying’s ears burned from his deep and scary gaze. She took a grape and threw it at him. “Don’t you think you’re annoying? I don’t like anyone.”
Long Ming took the grape and threw it into his mouth, a smile in his deep eyes. “In the future, you can only like me.”
…
After lunch, Xiao Ying and Cen Xi took Wan Bao for a walk in the garden.
Only Long Ming and Qiao Yanze were left in the living room.
Qiao Yanze leaned against the sofa, staring at the well-defined Long Ming. “Mr Long never said anything to me. Do you still treat me as your number one love rival?”
Long Ming’s long legs were crossed together and two buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned, making him look wild and cold. “Young Master Qiao is thinking too much. She and I already have a daughter. Why should I treat you as my love rival?”
Qiao Yanze could not help but laugh. “Indeed, you don’t have to treat me as your number one love rival. I might as well tell Mr Long the truth. Not only was Xiao Ying not with me back then, but she was not with any man either.”
Long Ming turned to look at Qiao Yanze, his handsome face frozen for a moment. “Really?”
“You can ask her yourself.”
Long Ming furrowed his eyebrows tightly. Although she had given birth to his daughter, he had never thought that she belonged to only him.
After all, she had taken on countless targets in the past and it had been hard for her to protect herself.
…
That night.
Xiao Ying sent Cen Xi and Qiao Yanze to the hotel.
After Qiao Yanze and Cen Xi arrived at the hotel room, Xiao Ying planned to return to the villa.
Long Ming was standing by her car.
The moment Xiao Ying came over, he pulled her into his arms, his strong arms hugging her tightly.
Xiao Ying was held tightly by him and could not breathe properly. She clenched her hands into fists and punched his shoulders. “Long Ming, it hasn’t been three days. You can’t go back on your words. Don’t even touch my hand before I’ve thought it through.”
Xiao Ying struggled out of Long Ming’s arms, but in the next second, he grabbed her wrist again. He threw her into the car and looked down at her. “Your sister and her husband are here. I’ve endured for almost a day, but now you’re telling me that I can’t even touch your hands?”
He grabbed her soft hand with one hand and wrapped his other hand around her waist. “Now that you’ve touched me, what do you plan to do with me?”
…
A dark-colored SUV was parked at an inconspicuous spot on the road opposite.
The eyes of the people in the car were dark and cold as they stared at them with deep hatred.
