After signing the document, Long Ming leaned against the head of the bed.

He picked up his phone, intending to watch the news.

However, he saw an entertainment gossip article that had just appeared on the main page of the news.

[C Countrys Second Prince, suspected to be on a date with the daughter of the Duke.]

Seeing such a title, Long Mings eyebrows twitched.

Although he never read entertainment gossip news, he opened the news article.

His expression darkened when he saw the photos that had been secretly taken.

The Second Prince had brought a woman into a high-end restaurant.

The woman was wearing a small black dress and a pair of stilettos. Her fair and slender legs were exposed but she was wearing a hat and mask, so her face could not be seen clearly.

But from her figure, he could tell at a glance that it was Xiao Ying.

s

This damned woman!

She had gone on a date with the Second Prince!

Mo Tian looked at Long Mings dark expression and said carefully, Your Majesty, are you alright?

Im alright. Go and do your work!

After Mo Tian left, Long Ming lay on the bed.

The moment he closed her eyes, he saw the image of her riding with the Second Prince or the two of them entering the restaurant together.

Didnt she feel guilty toward him and want to make it up to him?

This damned woman!

After dinner with the Second Prince, Xiao Ying returned to the Dukes palace and received a call from Long Mei.

Sister-in-law, I got someone to secretly take photos of you and the Second Prince going to the restaurant. I didnt take photos of your face, but my brother will definitely recognize you. Long Mei could imagine Long Mings expression when he saw the news, but she did not pity him at all. Sister-in-law, you have to stay calm. My brother will definitely look for you soon.

Meier, those who dont know would think that youre my sister!

Youre my sister-in-law. Of course, I have to stand on your side!

Hearing Long Meis words, Xiao Yings heart felt warm.

Xiao Ying did not go to the hospital to visit Long Ming again. Of course, with Long Mings current personality, he would not contact her either.

The Dukes wife had recently brought Xiao Ying into the high society circle.

Although Xiao Ying was not her biological daughter, the Dukes wife still liked her.

She wanted to give her the best.

With her mothers love, Xiao Ying did not think too much about relationships.

Yinger, you dont have to work tomorrow, right? Ill take you somewhere.

The Dukes wife brought fruits over. In the past, when Xiao Ying was not around, she would give them to the Duke first. Now that she had Xiao Ying and Wan Bao, she only cared about her daughter and granddaughter.

The Duke had fallen out of favor in this family.

But seeing his wife happy, the Duke was also very satisfied. The family was happy and harmonious. A life like that was very warm and beautiful.

Xiao Ying took a carafe and fed it to the Duchess. Mom, you should eat some too.

The Dukes wife smiled until her eyes narrowed into happy slits.

Mom, where are you taking me tomorrow?

Lets not talk about it first. Youll know tomorrow.

Xiao Ying nodded and did not ask further.

The next day.

Xiao Ying and the Dukes wife sent Wan Bao to kindergarten before the latter instructed the driver to drive to the busiest business district in the city center.

The car stopped at Yuxuan Court, the largest jade brand in the country.

The Dukes wife and Xiao Ying got out of the car. The Dukes wife received a call and said to Xiao Ying, Yinger, go in and see if you like it. Mom will come in after answering a call.

Xiao Ying nodded.

Yuxuan Court was the largest jade brand store in the country. It was decorated in an antique style. It felt luxurious and full of charm.

The staff standing at the door saw Xiao Ying and glanced at her. Seeing that she was wearing a custom-made suit, she welcomed her warmly.

Xiao Ying did not know why the Duchess had brought her here, but she still listened to the latter and looked around.

The jade items on the counter were dazzling.

Xiao Ying saw a jade bracelet and wanted to buy it for the Dukes wife. She asked the staff, How much is this?

Miss, you have good taste. This jade bracelet is made of pure jade, and the color is clear and uniform. Your skin is fair, so it will definitely look good on you.

Ill give you an excellent price. After the discount, it should be around ten million.

Ten million?

To Xiao Ying, she did not lack this bit of money.

She was about to say something when a strange voice trailed over. Boss, the price youre quoting is too expensive. It might scare her off.

Xiao Ying looked up.

Liu Yiyi stood in front of the counter on the other side and was getting the staff to try on a jade necklace for her. When she saw Xiao Ying coming over, she turned her attention to her.

Liu Yiyi did not know about Xiao Yings relationship with the Duke, but she recognized Xiao Ying.

When Brother Long Ming brought her and the old lady into the palace, she had secretly asked about Brother Long Mings new lover.

She had heard that it was a woman with no background.

Liu Yiyi subconsciously felt that Xiao Ying wouldnt be able to afford Yuxuan Courts jade products.

Not wanting to argue with Liu Yiyi, Xiao Ying said to the staff, Take it out for me to look at it.

Dont show it to her. If she breaks it later, youll probably be fired as well. Liu Yiyi walked over and took out a diamond card from her bag. Brother Long Ming gave this to me. As long as I like the jade from Yuxuan Court, I can hav eit for free.

Long Ming had given the diamond card to the old lady. However, the old lady was not interested in jade and Liu Yiyi had found a way to get the card.

Xiao Ying smirked. So, youre trying to show off!

Liu Yiyi raised her eyebrows and said proudly, If you want to buy it, I can ask the store manager to give you a discount.

Theres no need. I dont lack anything, especially not money. Xiao Ying took out a card from her bag, her expression unchanged as she said calmly, Besides, Ill use my own money and not spend a single cent from a man.

When Liu Yiyi saw the card Xiao Ying threw out, she did not believe that Xiao Ying would be able to take out ten million so easily. Youre quite good at acting. If you dont spend mens money, how could you so much by yourself?

Xiao Ying narrowed her eyes slightly and glanced at Liu Yiyi with cold eyes. Miss, were not familiar with each other, right? How unconfident are you to have to come boasting to me?

s

Liu Yiyi was angered by Xiao Yings words and her voice became louder. Youre just jealous of me! Brother Long Ming asked me to stay in the palace and not you. He even gave me a diamond card. What do you have? You gave birth to his daughter, but you still didnt get a proper status. Women like you are really shameless!

The staff in Yuxuan Court all looked toward Xiao Ying.

There were all kinds of looks.

Of course, it was mostly of contempt.

Xiao Ying looked at Liu Yiyis smug expression and a faint smile appeared on her lips. Miss, are you retarded? Do you know me very well? A person should uphold their own dignity. Why are you trying to pull me down to make you look good? Can you please take a look at yourself in the mirror? If its not because of the granny, could you have entered the palace? Would you have had the chance to speak to Long Ming?
