Chapter 1734: So, He’s Still Alive!

Xiao Ying was drawing a man.

Long eyebrows, deep eyes, high nose bridge, scarlet lips, and a cold face… Who else could it be but Long Ming?

Her drawing skills were not very good, but the Long Ming she drew was extremely lifelike and realistic.

It was enough to see that Long Ming had left a deep impression in her mind.

The man looked at the drawing on the drawing board, his gaze changing several times. Suddenly, he took a step forward and tore the drawing off the drawing board, ripping it into pieces.

Xiao Ying looked at the painting she had painstakingly drawn for the past few hours and was stunned for a moment as he tore it apart.

Tears quickly gathered in her eyes. She squatted down and hugged her knees, her shoulders shaking nonstop.

When the man, who had torn the painting, saw Xiao Ying crying, he suddenly realized that his actions hadb een too extreme. He bent down and patted the woman’s shoulder. “Don’t draw other men in front of me in the future…”

Xiao Ying raised her tear-filled eyes and met the man’s eyes. The man saw the tears in her eyes and seemed to be enchanted as he wrapped his long arm around her thin shoulders.

Instead of pus.h.i.+ng him away, she leaned against his shoulder slowly.

But at that moment, her fingers reached toward his face and she scratched it with all her might.

She tore off the man’s disguise.

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

The man hugging her had not expected that her purpose was to tear off his disguise.

Xiao Ying slowly turned her head and looked at the man’s face.

The man did not hide it anymore. He let go of Xiao Ying and stood up.

When Xiao Ying saw the man’s appearance clearly, her pupils constricted and disbelief filled her eyes.

Although she already had a suspicion when she left the dungeon, she did not want to confirm it.

But the truth was right in front of her and she had to believe it.

Senior Tang En… He was not dead. He was still alive and had disguised himself as Young Master Ximen Chang!

However, he was not dead. Who was the man who looked exactly like him?

Looking at Xiao Ying’s constricted pupils, a familiar and warm smile appeared on the man’s lips after he revealed his true appearance. “You’re still so smart.”

Because Xiao Ying was too shocked and in disbelief, she fell to the ground.

The blood drained from her face and she was pale.

After a while, she slowly regained her senses. Looking at the man smoking not too far away, she suddenly realized that she did not know him at all.

She had thought that he was the kindest and gentlest man in the world, but he had such a side to him!

“Do you know how sad I felt when I found out that you had died?” Xiao Ying had forced herself to cry earlier, but now her tears came from the bottom of her heart.

The man exhaled a mouthful of smoke slowly. There was no expression on his gentle face and the smoke blurred the darkness in his eyes. He said rather calmly, “Were you sad?”

He lifted his chin slightly, a faint and mocking smile on his lips. “If you were sad, would you have fallen into Long Ming’s arms so quickly? You said that you wouldn’t fall in love with other men. You also said that you would rather be alone with Wan Bao than rely on men.”

He suddenly became a little agitated as he sped up his smoking. “I believed it, but how long has it been since I died? Yet you and Long Ming are already so loving.”

Xiao Ying did not expect Tang En to be so stubborn. She was grateful for his help and companions.h.i.+p, and she had never denied his kindness to her.

However, they were just good friends who appreciated each other. He was in no place to dictate her love life, right?

“You kidnapped me because I fell into Long Ming’s arms?”

Tang En smirked coldly. “Junior, you’re mine.”

Hearing Tang En’s words, gooseb.u.mps appeared on Xiao Ying’s arms.

Her mind spun rapidly. Suddenly, she seemed to understand something. “That scary-looking man in the dungeon is the real Young Master, Ximen Chang, right?”

Tang En narrowed his eyes. “It seems like you know a lot.”

“I don’t care about the grudge between you and him, but Senior, it’s wrong of you to ruin my relations.h.i.+p with Long Ming…”

Before Xiao Ying could finish, she was interrupted by his cold voice. “Wrong? Junior, have you forgotten? You said that you wanted to give me a home. We’ll grow up together and be companions until we’re old.”

“You know very well that I was only saying that as a friend!”

Tang En let out a sneer from the depths of his throat. “Ha, as a friend? I’ve never treated you as a friend. Do you know why I took everything from Ximen Chang? It was all for you and me! I wanted to give you and Wan Bao the best life and didn’t want anyone to bully you anymore. I finally achieved this goal, but you turned around and threw yourself into Long Ming’s arms. Junior, you betrayed me!”

Xiao Ying looked at Tang En’s red and dark eyes and felt that he had become a different person. She suppressed the surging emotions in her heart and said word by word, “Senior, you’re really good at acting. We’ve known each other for several years, but I never realized that you had such a dark side.”

“You must have planned for many years to be able to take away Ximen Chang’s position and let him live a life worse than death, right?” Xiao Ying thought of how Tang En had endured being tortured and humiliated by Ximen Chang. He had not retaliated or scolded him. Was he actually waiting for this day?

“You faked our marriage. During that period of time, you needed freedom because you needed to go out personally to nurture that double that looked like Ximen Chang, right? The person I scratched a few days ago was the double you made, right?”

“You’re wearing a disguise, so it’s inevitable that people will see through you. In order to be safe, you created such a person.”

Tang En did not deny Xiao Ying’s words. He had indeed spent a lot of time and energy to do such a thing.

“Who was that person who died?” Xiao Ying had caressed that person’s face at that time. It did not look like a disguise.

Tang En flicked the cigarette ash from his fingertips and an ambiguous smile appeared on his lips. “I’ve always disliked Ximen Chang. I never spoke well of him. He always had a person who looked like me by his side. I also knew of that person’s existence. That person knew a lot about me and Ximen Chang. Only when he’s dead will I sit firmly in Ximen Chang’s position.”

Xiao Ying used to think that the Young Master was the most ruthless and heartless person in the world, but the current Tang En gave her a feeling that he was even more ruthless than the Young Master.

“So, you knew very well that I stole the fake Tang En’s body and cremated it? You only used me so that you wouldn’t be exposed since I was sad and dejected.”
