Chapter 1677: A Warm Scene

Xiao Ying did not hug Wan Bao who was running toward her like usual.

Her exquisite and elegant face was tense and there was an unprecedented sternness in her eyes.

Wan Bao hugged Xiao Ying’s leg. Not getting a response from her mother, she looked up at Xiao Ying.

Seeing her mommy’s tense face and angry expression, she blinked her big eyes. “Mommy, what’s wrong?”

Pursing her lips tightly, Xiao Ying hardened her heart and slapped Wan Bao on her butt.

“What did Mommy tell you in the past? Don’t run around, don’t talk to strangers, and don’t go home with strangers.”

Xiao Ying did not dare to imagine what would happen to her if the person who took Wan Bao away had beem a human trafficker or a bad person had hurt her.

Ever since she was born, Xiao Ying had never beaten her.

But now, she was really angry.

Before she had found Wan Bao, she had been covered in cold sweat and her heart had been tense. She was afraid that something would happen to her. Her mind was blank and her ears were ringing.

Wan Bao was stunned by Xiao Ying’s slap. Her eyes were wide open and tears filled her eyes.

She looked a little pitiful.

Xiao Ying felt a lump in her throat and her eyes turned red.

Wan Bao felt that pain being beaten but Xiao Ying’s heart hurt even more.

But if she did not hit her, she would not learn her lesson.

“Do you know what you did wrong?” Xiao Ying was ruthless as she asked her with a tense expression.

Wan Bao pouted and started to cry. “I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have left with Uncle. But… but… Uncle said he’s your friend. He said that he’d call you…”

Before Xiao Ying could say anything, a strong force suddenly attacked her and her slender arm was grabbed by the man.

Xiao Ying turned back and met the man’s cold eyes.

“Why did you hit the child?”

Xiao Ying shook off Long Ming’s arm, her pretty face extremely cold. “Did you think about my feelings when you took my daughter away?”

The process of finding out that her child was missing and could not be found felt like hell. It was worse than death!

Seeing Xiao Ying’s red eyes and pale face, Long Ming realized that she was really anxious.

“If I really wanted to take your daughter away secretly, I wouldn’t have been exposed by the surveillance cameras.” With that said, Long Ming looked at the pitiful girl standing by the side with her head lowered. His cold voice lowered a little. “I got the dessert chef to make your favorite chocolate cake. I’ll bring you in.”

Wan Bao glanced at Xiao Ying, not daring to follow Long Ming in.

Long Ming went around Xiao Ying and pulled Wan Bao into his arms.

Xiao Ying watched as Long Ming left with Wan Bao in his arms, a complicated feeling in her heart.

Xiao Ying stood alone in the garden for a while. Seeing that the sky had changed and it was going to rain heavily soon, she had no choice but to enter the palace.

Xiao Ying’s slap on Wan Bao PP wasn’t very heavy and Wan Bao wasn’t in pain anymore. Seeing the beautiful and exquisite chocolate cake, her mood improved again.

Seeing Xiao Ying, she ran over with a smile. “Mommy, the chocolate cake made by Uncle’s pastry chef is so delicious!”

Xiao Ying looked at her daughter’s bright smile and her heart softened. She raised her hand to touch Wan Bao’s head. “Go and thank Uncle. It’s going to rain soon. We have to go back.”

“Oh.” Although Wan Bao still wanted to visit the cool uncle’s house, she could not make Mommy angry anymore.

Wan Bao walked in front of Long Ming and said softly, “Uncle, I’m going back with Mommy. Thank you for the cake. I really like it!”

Long Ming glanced at the dark sky outside and led Wan Bao to Xiao Ying. “There’s going to be a storm soon. You and Wan Bao can stay here for the night.”

“There’s no need…” Before Xiao Ying could finish speaking, a deafening explosion sounded outside.

Wan Bao had been afraid of thunder since she was young. She jumped into Xiao Ying’s arms. “Mommy, I’m scared.”

Xiao Ying pulled Wan Bao into her arms and kissed her forehead. “Mommy’s here, baby. Don’t be afraid.”

Long Ming looked at Xiao Ying’s motherly gaze and his eyes darkened, as if no light could enter them.

…

Wan Bao was afraid of thunder and with the heavy rain outside, Xiao Ying weighed the pros and cons before she decided to stay.

Long Ming got the butler to arrange for a luxurious guest room for them.

Xiao Ying carried Wan Bao to her room. When the thunder had died down, she remembered that her bag was still downstairs. She said to Wan Bao, “Mommy will go downstairs to get my bag. I’ll shower with you later. Can you watch some cartoons first?”

“Okay.”

Xiao Ying got up and went downstairs.

When she came back with her bag, she realized that Wan Bao was not in the room. She was about to go out to look when she heard Wan Bao’s laughter coming from the bathroom.

Xiao Ying walked over quickly. She did not know when Long Ming had arrived, but he was shooting water guns at Wan Bao.

The bathroom was very big, and both of them were having fun.

Long Ming kept evading and Wan Bao kept attacking. Long Ming’s shirt was wet.

Xiao Ying had never seen such a childish side of Long Ming.

There was a smile on his usually cold face that even he might not have noticed.

Seeing Xiao Ying standing at the door, Long Ming shot a glance at Wan Bao. The two of them quickly changed their target and shot at Xiao Ying.

Xiao Ying hurriedly used her hands to cover her face but she could not block their attacks. Soon, her hair and clothes were wet.

“Wan Bao, you little traitor. Why are you attacking Mommy?” Xiao Ying walked into the bathroom and grabbed the water gun in Wan Bao’s hand, attacking Long Ming’s well-defined handsome face.

Long Ming’s ending was rather tragic.

Her entire body was wet.

After the battle of the water gun, the three of them were all smiling.

Long Ming looked at Xiao Ying, who was sitting on the edge of the bathtub with Wan Bao in her arms, her long wet hair brushing against her cheek as a beautiful smile appeared on her beautiful face.

Long Ming’s Adam’s apple bobbed and his gaze on her smile darkened.

Xiao Ying found that Long Ming was looking at her deeply and her heart skipped a beat. Raising her eyes to look at him, she saw that his wet shirt was stuck to his body tightly, showing his firm chest and well-defined eight-pack. She looked away unnaturally. “I’m going to shower with Wan Bao.”

Long Ming had a hand in his pocket as he hummed coldly.

He strode out of the bathroom. Wan Bao seemed to have thought of something and when he was about to reach the bathroom door, she said to him, “Cool Uncle, you promised to tell me a story when I’ve finished bathing.”

Long Ming made an OK gesture to Wan Bao and went out in a good mood.

Xiao Ying looked at the little girl who had gotten along with Long Ming in just a few hours and could not help but sigh that blood ties were a very strange thing!
