Chapter 1283: When Are We Getting Married

Xuan Ying’s eyes were dark and chilly. He looked at Auntie Su lightly and said in a low voice, “This isn’t your fault.”

As he stood at the bedside looking at the unconscious Concubine Yu, he reached out to hold her cold hands.

Xuan Ying had always been filial. All these years, his mother had thrown her life away for him. She had been a beauty in her younger days but now her legs were disabled, her hair was white and her face was full of wrinkles. She had already grown old.

He had failed to protect his mother.

“Auntie Su, get a pail of warm water to wipe her.”

“Alright,” Auntie Su said as she entered the toilet.

After Auntie Su left, Xuan Ying opened his eyes and they glanced coldly towards Auntie Su’s departing figure.

Inside Limousine X.

Ah Zhou said in a low voice, “Master, how could Madam have fainted so suddenly? I suspect there’s more to this.”

From his position in the passenger seat, Xuan Ying leaned back casually as his thin lips pressed into a tight line. A cold smile was on his lips. “There’s a mole.”

Ah Zhou was startled.

Taking out his cell phone, Xuan Ying punched in some buttons and called a number. The phone rang twice before the person on the other end picked up with a drawl. A warm and gentle voice floated over. “Hello?”

“Doctor Sikong, are you still in Country A?”

“Yes.”

“I need to trouble you a little. My mom is currently in a coma and I suspect that she was poisoned. I’ll get someone to send you a half a vial of her blood later, so please help me take a look.”

Sikong hesitated for two seconds before agreeing. “Alright.”

“Doctor Sikong, thank you.”

“It’s nothing, don’t worry about it.” Sikong hung up.

After putting his phone back in his pocket, Xuan Ying leaned back again. Now that Sikong was involved, the matter would become so much simpler. As for who was behind all this, he suspected that they would approach him soon.

Soon enough, Limousine X pulled into the Snow Mountain Residence and Ah Zhou opened the back door. Xuan Ying got out, still in his army boots.

At this moment, a melodious voice floated over. “Ying.”

When Xuan Ying lifted his eyes, he saw a beautiful figure standing in front of him. It was Shi Xiaoxiao. She was dressed in a long dress and looking at him.

Xuan Ying’s brows twitched. What was she doing here?

The doors to the Snow Mountain Residence opened and Xuan Ying walked into the living room with Shi Xiaoxiao.

As he walked into the kitchen, he took his phone. Dammit, he had originally planned to have dinner with Xia Ling tonight.

A few taps later, he dialed Xia Ling’s phone number.

“Hello?” Xia Ling answered in her sweet voice.

Hearing her voice, Xuan Ying unbuttoned her shirt, his handsome face brightening. His lips slowly curved upwards as his look turned doting. “Lingling, what are you doing?”

“I just picked up Mu Mu.”

Mu Mu’s sweet voice floated over from the phone. “Handsome Uncle, Mommy said that you’re treating us to dinner tonight. Mommy is dressed up super prettily, so come quick!”

“Mu Mu!” Xia Ling exclaimed in embarrassment as she quickly pressed her hands against the little one’s mouth.

When he heard her sugary sweet words, Xuan Ying’s heart melted. In fact, he wanted to grow wings and fly over to the two of them immediately but he couldn’t.

“Lingling, I have some urgent issues to deal with tonight, so we have to cancel our date. I’m sorry, please don’t be angry.”

He lowered his voice and tried to coax her.

There were a few seconds of silence before Xia Ling replied quickly, “I’m not angry. Go and settle your problems first. I’ll hang up first.”

She hung up.

Xuan Ying clutched his phone tightly. At this moment, a warm body pressed against him from the back. Shi Xiaoxiao smiled as she hugged him.

Xuan Ying froze.

As Shi Xiaoxiao pressed her small face against his tall, sturdy back, she looked at him lovingly. “Ying, did you forget? I’m still your fiancée. My dad has been asking when we’re going to get married.”

“Let go of me.” His face was expressionless as he looked at her.

“I won’t.” Shi Xiaoxiao hugged him tightly. “Feng Lingxue is already dead. I heard that you are interested in a woman who looks like Feng Lingxue now. It’s fine, I still love you. I’ll let you have concubines after we’re married.”

This woman was impossible. Xuan Ying turned and pushed Shi Xiaoxiao away. “How do you know who I like? Shi Xiaoxiao, you’ve been investigating me, haven’t you?”

She met his cold, glassy eyes as her face turned pale.

This man was a ferocious beast dormant in the jungle but would fight back if there was even a little wind blowing at the grass.

He was too cautious.

On the streets.

Xia Ling lowered her long lashes and put her phone back in her purse. Disappointment flashed in her eyes as she let out a quiet sigh.

She had put on a white jacket today with a pink dress underneath. The pink made her look especially gentle, like a freshly bloomed water lily.

Mu Mu was right. She had dressed up today.

“Mommy, are you disappointed that Handsome Uncle isn’t coming?”

Xia Ling picked Mu Mu up and smiled. “Of course not.”

“Mommy is lying,” Mu Mu said as she kissed Xia Ling. “Mommy, I like Handsome Uncle. Can he be my Daddy?”

Looking at her daughter’s hopeful eyes, Xia Ling felt extremely guilty. She knew that Mu Mu wanted a Daddy, that she wanted a complete family.

“Actually… Mommy likes Handsome Uncle too…” Xia Ling’s small face was red.

“Really? Really really?! That’s great, I can finally have a Daddy!” Mu Mu started dancing around happily.

Seeing her daughter so happy, Xia Ling smiled as well.

Ding. She received a message.

An anonymous number had sent her a photo.

When Xia Ling opened the message, she saw that it was a photo.

A woman was hugging Xuan Ying in the Snow Mountain Residence.

Xia Ling was stunned.

He had said that he had urgent matters to settle in the phone call just now. So he was referring to this woman.

Lies… He had lied to her.

The affection and warm feelings in her heart instantly evaporated into nothingness. She felt as though someone had drenched her in a bucket of iced water.

Her hands and legs were frozen this wintery night.

The next morning.

Xia Ling went back to school, walking on the pavement with a few books clutched in her hands. She suddenly heard someone call her. “Xia Ling.”

Xia Ling’s footsteps halted and she looked back. It was Shi Xiaoxiao.

Almost immediately, Xia Ling recognized her as the woman from yesterday night’s photo. This was the woman who was hugging Xuan Ying.

Shi Xiaoxiao walked over to Xia Ling and smiled prettily. “Hello Miss Xia, let me introduce myself. My name is Shi Xiaoxiao, I’m Xuan Ying’s fiancée.”

Fiancée?

This word reverberated in Xia Ling’s ear. So he had a fiancee…

“Ying and I are going to have a grand wedding. Everyone knows that General Shi’s precious daughter Shi Xiaoxiao is the Silver Mask King’s fiancée and that we’re getting married soon. But I heard that he’s been obsessed with you lately. Have the two of you slept together?”

Have they slept together?
