  Long Ming sat in front of the desk. Under his short hair, his cold face looked firm and fierce.

  The butler stood by the side and placed the cup of coffee on the table.

  “Your Majesty, I heard that Miss Lou committed suicide after she went back that night. She went to the gates of hell and almost couldn’t be saved. Now that the Lou family knows that you’re going to break off your marriage with her, they’re making things difficult for you with the head of the four big families. If this matter isn’t handled properly, the royal family will be affected.”


  “In my opinion, you should postpone the announcement of your relationship with Miss Ying for two to three years.”


  Lou Lan was Old Master Lou’s most beloved granddaughter and he had always given in to her. Now that his most beloved granddaughter had slit her wrist and had almost lost her life, it was easy to imagine how pained and angry he was.

  Especially when Long Ming wanted to break off his engagement with his granddaughter for another woman.

  Although Long Ming was a high and mighty king, he still had to give Old Master Lou some face since he had personally appeared.

  Old Master Lou could not accept Long Ming breaking off the engagement with Lou Lan. If Long Ming did not take back his words, the Lou family would not let it go either.

  Xiao Ying stood at the door of the study. Hearing the butler’s words, her heart tightened uncontrollably.

  It turned out that Long Ming had left early and returned late because of the Lou family!

  Lou Lan had left in tears that night and she had even committed suicide after she returned!

  Xiao Ying could not understand why a woman would commit suicide because of a man who did not love her. She was not even afraid of death. Would she be afraid of living?

  Was there no other man in this world apart from Long Ming?

  Xiao Ying knew that she would definitely attract criticism and trouble if she was with Long Ming. However, she did not expect that she would bring him trouble right from the start.

  Xiao Ying raised her hand and knocked on the door.

  Hearing the sound, Long Ming looked up at the door of the study.

  Seeing Xiao Ying, Long Ming immediately got up from the leather chair and walked toward her.

  The butler left the room.

  When only Xiao Ying and Long Ming were left in the study, Xiao Ying did beat around the bush. She frowned at Long Ming. “I heard everything the butler said. Lou Lan committed suicide, right?”


  Long Ming nodded with a dark expression. He stared at Xiao Ying for a few seconds before he suddenly grabbed her thin shoulders. “I’ll handle this matter. You’d better not give up.”


  Xiao Ying looked at his nervous expression and could not help but smile. “Since I’ve promised you, I won’t give up so easily. But…”


  Long Ming tightened his hold on her shoulders. “But what?”


  “It’s just that you’ll be under a lot of pressure if you’re with me.” Unless she hid their relationship for the rest of their lives, her past identity might bring him trouble and disaster.

  Long Ming lifted a hand to grab her exquisite chin, his fingers caressing her skin. “What am I afraid of? I’m only afraid that you won’t be able to withstand some gossip. But no matter what happens, I will protect you.”


  His words were sincere and his gaze on her was deep. “As long as you’re not afraid, I have nothing to be afraid of.”


  Xiao Ying stared at him for a few seconds, before she suddenly stood on tiptoes and kissed his well-defined handsome face. “I’ve been through trials and tribulations. It’s only because of protection from the heavens that I’m still alive and well. I’ve already stopped thinking about some things. It’s just that I owe you a lot and don’t want to cause you too much trouble…”


  “I’m willing to accept and solve the trouble you caused. As long as…” His gaze on her darkened and his tall body suddenly pressed her against the desk.” Kiss me a few more times, but don’t kiss my face. I’m not playing house with you. ”


  Xiao Ying blushed.

  …


  The next day.

  Xiao Ying only woke up in the afternoon.

  Long Ming was already gone.

  He seemed to have told her last night that he would settle Lou Lan’s matter as soon as possible so that she would not worry.

  …


  After the meeting in the morning, Long Ming went to the hospital.

  Lou Lan’s mother was taking care of Lou Lan in the hospital. She was angry and furious that her daughter had suffered so much.

  Mother Lou came from a noble family and was a little naive. She had been with a silver spoon, and her life had always been smooth-sailing. Her own fashion brand was even famous worldwide.

  Lou Lan was like her, and she had doted on her daughter since she was young.

  After Lou Lan almost died from suicide, she kicked up a huge guss and caused a ruckus in the Lou family, asking her husband to tell the Old Master about Lou Lan’s grievances and infatuation, as well as Long Ming’s cold-heartedness.

  Over the past few days, the Old Master had also insisted to Long Ming that he did not agree to annul the engagement.

  He believed that Long Ming would take back his words and be with Lou Lan again soon.

  Madam Lou was peeling fruits for Lou Lan in the ward when she heard steady and strong footsteps. She turned around.

  Seeing the handsome Long Ming in black clothes and pants, Mrs Lou’s expression changed slightly. However, Long Ming had a noble status after all, so she did not dare to disrespect him too much.

  Seeing Long Ming coming over, a weak smile appeared on Lou Lan’s pale face. “Ming, you’re here?”


  Long Ming walked into the ward and did not look at Lou Lan. His eagle-like eyes glanced at Mrs Lou. “Madam, I want to talk to you alone.”


  Mrs Lou said sarcastically, “Why? Do you regret ditching our Lan Lan and want to work on me?”


  Long Ming pursed his lips and left the ward without saying anything.

  Seeing that Long Ming was not even looking at her, tears filled Lou Lan’s eyes. Mrs Lou comforted her, “Lanlan, don’t worry. As long as our Lou family is here, he won’t be able to get rid of you even if he’s the King.”


  After Mrs Lou left the ward, Long Ming’s butler stood at the door and invited her to the Director’s office.

  Long Ming was sitting on the sofa in the Director’s office. Seeing Mother Lou’s dark expression when she came in, he gestured for her to sit.

  After Mrs Lou sat down, she looked at her exquisitely painted nails. “I heard that you dumped our Lanlan because you wanted to be with a woman with no background. Long Ming, have you forgotten how much our Lou family helped you when you first got into this position? At that time, the economy was in a slump and it was our Lou family who supported you secretly. Isn’t that why you’re so respected now?”


  Long Ming narrowed his deep eyes slightly. “Madam, don’t you know how many projects the Lou family has taken from me and how much profits they’ve gained in the past few years?”


  Long Ming crossed his long legs and leaned his tall body against the sofa, his every action exuding a natural kingly aura. “Today, I called Madam over not to discuss whether the Lou family and I will gain more or less, but…”


  Long Ming clapped his hands and the butler standing by the side passed a document file to Long Ming.

  Long Ming threw the document in front of Mrs Lou. “Take a look. If you want me to be with your daughter after reading it, I have no objections.”


  Madam Lou opened the document bag in confusion and her expression changed when she saw what was inside.
