  He said that he wanted to give her and Wan Bao a home.

  Ever since she was young, Xiao Ying had never dared to dream of having a home. Only Tang En had given her the warmth of having a family.

  Now that Tang En was gone, he was bringing up the topic of home to her again.

  Tears filled Xiao Ying’s eyes as she stared at the man’s dark eyes. She asked softly, “Am I still worthy?”


  Would a person like her be able to be his Princess Consort?

  Long Ming looked at the tears in Xiao Ying’s eyes. Her eyes were especially dark and there was a faint trace of pain in his eyes. “How are you not worthy?” Seeming to have thought of something, his low and cold tone softened. “You haven’t given me an answer.”


  Xiao Ying froze for a few seconds. When she realized what answer he wanted, she glared at him angrily.

  She was already here. What other answer did he need?

  Wasn’t the answer obvious?

  Xiao Ying remembered that he had asked Lou Lan to feed her porridge in the hospital and even said some hurtful words to agitate her. She imitated his tone and said, “It’s obvious who I’ve chosen, isn’t it?”


  A trace of embarrassment appeared on Long Ming’s well-defined face when he saw her going through the past. His eyes on her darkened. “Who said that? Tell me and I’ll help you beat him up!”


  Xiao Ying hummed. “He’s right in front of me.”


  Long Ming pretended not to understand her and looked around. “Where?”


  Xiao Ying’s fair hands clenched into fists and punched his chest. He did not stop her, letting her punch him again and again.

  It was only when she could no longer hit him that he held her fist and kissed it. “I want to hear it from you.”


  Xiao Ying met with his dark eyes that seemed to swallow her heart and her heart jumped. Lowering her thick and long eyelashes, she said with a slight blush in her ears, “There’s nothing to say. Didn’t my actions prove it?”


  She put her hands on his firm shoulders. “Your clothes are all wet. Go and take a shower!”


  He stared at her with dark eyes as his tall body approached her. Xiao Ying kept moving back until her back was against the French windows. He had one hand on the top of her head and the other on her waist. His well-defined handsome face approached her and his warm breath fell on her. “Are you going to tell me?”


  Although he was not overbearing, he was imperceptibly domineering and strong.

  During the mission back then, Xiao Ying could say anything she wanted. However, she seemed to be at a loss for words in front of Long Ming now.

  A faint blush appeared on her beautiful face and her fair skin seemed to be covered with a layer of rouge, making her look extremely charming.

  Seeing that he was not letting go of her if she did not say anything, Xiao Ying had no choice but to say, “I acce.”


  Long Ming’s eyes brightened. “Promise me what?”


  Xiao Ying glared at him, not saying anything.

  This person was doing it on purpose, even though he knew what she had promised him.

  Long Ming raised an eyebrow. “To be my lover?”


  “You wish.”


  “Then, what do you want to do?”


  “Long Ming!”


  “My hearing is very good. You don’t have to be so loud.”


  Xiao Ying really did not know what to do with him and could only mutter softly, “I agree to be your Princess Consort.”


  “What are you talking about? I can’t hear you.”


  “Long Ming, don’t push your luck.”


  Long Ming smirked, chuckling softly. He wanted her to say it again when he heard a knock on the door.

  Xiao Ying hurriedly pushed Long Ming away.

  The butler’s voice sounded outside. Long Ming walked to the door and opened it.

  “Your Majesty, Mo Tian requests an audience.”


  Long Ming glanced at Mo Tian, who was still very weak after taking care of his injuries, behind the butler. His well-defined handsome face was tensed, looking cold and murderous. “Are you unhappy with my punishment?”


  Mo Tian bent his knees and knelt down. “Your Majesty, I’m here to bid you farewell. I deserve to die for the grave mistake I’ve committed this time. Your Majesty is already very kind to spare my life. I have no objections or dissatisfaction if Your Majesty sends me to a remote place to atone for my sins.”


  Long Ming did not look at Mo Tian. “Although you didn’t betray me, it was still your fault. Don’t let me see you again!”


  “Yes, please take care of yourself, Your Majesty!” Mo Tian kowtowed three times and dragged his scarred body away.

  …


  Xiao Ying heard the conversation between Long Ming and Mo Tian in the bedroom.

  She was shocked.

  Mo Tian had been by Long Ming’s side for many years. Although he had been involved in this matter, he could not blame it all on him. However, Long Ming did not leave any leeway and let him leave.

  It could be seen how tolerant he was toward her. After all, she committed even worse crimes than Mo Tian.

  After Mo Tian left, Long Ming returned to his bedroom and took a bath before he came out in his pajamas.

  Xiao Ying was no longer in the bedroom. She got the butler to set up the guest room and went to the guest room to rest.

  Long Ming walked to the guest room with a cold expression and knocked on the door.

  There was no reaction from the person inside.

  Long Ming had no choice but to get the butler to bring the spare key.

  Pushing open the door, he glanced at the woman lying on the bed.

  She was already asleep.

  Over the past few days, it was not only him who had been tense. She had felt that way too. Now that the rain had finally cleared, she was extremely tired.

  Long Ming walked to the bed and looked at her beautiful face after she fell asleep. He lowered his head and kissed the hair on her head. “Good night, my Princess Consort.”


  …


  Xiao Ying was woken up by rustling sounds.

  When she opened her eyes, she found that she had arrived at Long Ming’s bedroom. A tall figure had come out of the bathroom and was buttoning his black shirt.

  Xiao Ying asked in a daze, “Why am I in your room?”


  “You’ve already agreed to be my Princess Consort. Do you still want to sleep in separate rooms from me?” The man’s well-defined fingers fastened the buttons one by one and walked to the bed. “It’s still early. I have to go out to settle some things. You can sleep for a while more.”


  Seeing his dark expression, Xiao Ying furrowed her eyebrows. “What happened?” Did he have to go out so early to settle it?

  After buttoning his shirt, Long Ming bent down and placed his hands on either side of her head, his handsome face approaching her. “It’s nothing much. I’ll be able to settle it very soon.”


  He had just finished brushing his teeth and shaving his beard. His refreshing breath and aftershave was mixed together, making him feel extremely masculine.

  Xiao Ying’s long eyelashes fluttered and she hummed softly.

  …


  During the day, Xiao Ying asked the butler to bring her to get her new identification documents. She then called Wan Bao and told her that she might be a few days late.

  Long Ming only came back at night after running all of his errands. By the time he returned, Xiao Ying was already asleep. By the time Xiao Ying woke up the next day, he had gone out to work again.

  Xiao Ying had stayed in the palace for two days, but she had rarely seen him.

  Xiao Ying could feel that something was wrong. She asked the butler what was wrong, but the butler mumbled and refused to tell her what had happened.

  On the third night, Xiao Ying deliberately waited for Long Ming to return. She pretended to be asleep and he went to the room to look at her as usual before going to the study to settle some matters.

  Xiao Ying followed him quietly.
