Attack of the Adorable Kid: President Daddy's Infinite Pampering

Chapter 1659: Entangled

The staff looked at Long Ming, who exuded an extraordinary aura, with a troubled expression, but she did not dare to disobey.

Just as she was thinking about how to mediate the situation, Xiao Ying raised her hand, gesturing for her to stop talking.

Xiao Ying looked at Long Ming, who noticed her gaze and looked over.

His eyes were cold.

Her eyes were calm.

Lou Lan, who was beside Long Ming, could see the invisible tension between them.

Lou Lan was secretly surprised.

Were they old acquaintances?

Lou Lan narrowed her charming brown eyes and smiled at the staff. “Bring it over for me to see.”

The staff looked at Lou Lan. She was wearing high-end custom-made brands from head to toe. Just one look and they could tell that she was a rich socialite that they could not afford to offend.

The staff passed the burgundy tie to Lou Lan.

Lou Lan took the tie and placed it in front of Long Ming’s collar. “Ming, you’re really suit this tie!”

Lou Lan completely ignored Xiao Ying’s existence.

Xiao Ying smirked coldly. “Miss, don’t you know whoever comes first get first dibs?”

Without giving Lou Lan a chance to speak, Xiao Ying said to the staff, “I’ll pay three times the price.”

Wasn’t it just money?

What she did not lack the most was money!

The two staff widened their eyes.

One of the staff hurriedly explained, “Although we only have one tie of every color in our store, the other colors are not bad either. Do you guys want to see if there’s anything else you like other than burgundy?”

The moment the staff finished speaking, the man’s deep and cold voice sounded again. “Four times.”

The cold smirk on Xiao Ying’s lips deepened.

Was Long Ming deliberately going against her?

He did not remember her. Did he hate her from the bottom of his heart?

He even wanted to snatch a tie from her?

“Five times.” Xiao Ying raised the price.

Long Ming’s eyes on Xiao Ying darkened and he smirked. “Ten times.”

Xiao Ying vomited in her heart.

Fine, she would not argue with the person who did not lack money the most.

Xiao Ying looked at the staff. “That’s enough. Since this gentleman is willing to pay ten times the price, it means that he likes this tie very much. Why should I take it from him? Show me that blue and white striped one.”

The staff heaved a sigh of relief and was about to take the blue and white striped tie from Xiao Ying when Long Ming spoke again. “I want all the ties in this store.”

The anger in Xiao Ying’s heart surged toward her head.

A faint blush appeared on her delicate and beautiful face from anger.

She clenched her fists and kept reminding herself to calm down!

It was not good for her to have a conflict with Long Ming!

There were so many people selling ties in the world. Could it be that he could buy all of them?

Xiao Ying forced a smile that did not reach her eyes. She glanced at Long Ming before saying to the staff, “It’s good that he bought it. The ties here are not suitable for the person I want to give it to.”

With that said, Xiao Ying turned to leave.

Long Ming stared at Xiao Ying’s departing figure, his hawk-like eyes reflecting an unreadable gaze.

Lou Lan had been observing Long Ming secretly. She was almost certain that Long Ming knew that woman.

Besides, they must have been close.

She had known Long Ming for three years, but she had never seen him do anything that did not match his status to attract a woman’s attention.

She knew that he had bought all the ties in the store not because he liked these ties, but because he did not want that woman to buy ties and give them to another man!

The usually cold and dark man actually had such a childish side!

Lou Lan could not help but feel a sense of danger.

…

Xiao Ying did not buy a tie at other flagship stores.

She was not in the mood to choose one anymore.

The scene of Long Ming deliberately targeting her kept appearing in her mind.

She started to doubt if he had forgotten about her.

If he had forgotten about her, she should be a stranger to him. Why would he go against her for a tie?

With his status, was he someone who lacked a tie?

As she walked out of the mall, the sky outside was completely swallowed by the darkness. Xiao Ying crossed her arms and walked toward the hotel in a dark mood.

…

After Xiao Ying left the flagship store, Long Ming also left.

He asked the staff to pack the ties and send them to his hotel.

Sitting in the car, Long Ming looked out of the window silently. Lou Lan, who was beside him, looked at him, wanting to say something but stopped.

The car drove toward the hotel. When the traffic light turned green, Long Ming’s cold eyes caught a slender figure on the road.

Xiao Ying stood in front of a street singer who was strumming on the guitar. She put money into the guitar case and said something to the street singer, who started singing a happy song.

Xiao Ying clapped her hands and sang with him, a smile appearing on her pretty face.

Long Ming took out a cigar from the wooden box and lit it. Through the lingering smoke, he looked at the simple and wanton woman outside and could not help but feel uneasy.

Back at the hotel, Lou Lan wanted to talk to Long Ming for a while, but Long Ming said calmly, “I have a video conference.”

Lou Lan had always acted generously and appropriately in front of Long Ming and would not interfere too much.

But tonight, Lou Lan felt a sense of danger.

“Rest early after you’re done.” Although she had many doubts in his heart, Lou Lan was a smart person and would not ask anything she should not ask.

Back in the luxurious suite, Long Ming unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt, revealing his exquisite collarbones. He stood in front of the French windows, his eyebrows furrowed and his eyes cold.

After standing there for nearly ten minutes, he took out his phone and called his confidant, Mo Tian, to come over.

After Mo Tian came, Long Ming instructed coldly, “Number 21 is in the capital. Find out which hotel she’s staying at.”

Mo Tian was shocked. He did not expect the King to meet Xiao Ying again.

“Your Majesty, you’ve already reached an agreement with her to start afresh. Why continue to be stubborn?”

Long Ming’s jawline tightened into a sharp and murderous angle as he said coldly, “I didn’t have to continue being stubborn, but I hate people who lie to me the most.”

Mo Tian frowned. “She lied to the King?”

Long Ming did not want to say anything more. His well-defined face was like an unsheathed sword, cold and menacing. “Go and investigate quickly!”

“Yes.”

…

Xiao Ying slowly walked back to the hotel she was staying at.

She was a little hungry and when she saw the dessert shop next to the hotel having an event, she walked in.

After buying a small cake with exquisite workmanship and a glass of lemonade, she sat in the corner of the dessert shop.

Looking at the time, it should be morning in R Country now. Xiao Ying sent a video call request to Tang En.

After a while, the call connected.

Tang En’s fair and gentle face appeared in Xiao Ying’s sight.

“Is Wan Bao still sleeping?”

Tang En nodded with a smile. Then, he entered the pink princess room quietly and aimed the camera at the little one on the bed.
