Attack of the Adorable Kid: President Daddy's Infinite Pampering - Chapter 1658

Chapter 1658: Snatching

Long Ming’s cold eyes only swept past Xiao Ying’s face for a few seconds. Other than the bone-chilling coldness, there were no other emotions.

His handsome face was extremely cold.

Xiao Ying had attended a gathering tonight and was wearing a shirt dress. Her long hair was tied into a fish bone braid that hung on one side of her shoulders and her fair legs were exposed. She looked fresh and beautiful.

Long Ming’s gaze moved away from Xiao Ying very quickly. He continued to walk forward with the woman beside him, his tall figure exuding a cold aura.

Even though he did not know her anymore, the glance they exchanged still made Xiao Ying lose her momentum.

She felt inexplicably panicked.

But she did not know why she was panicking.

In order not to meet again, Xiao Ying moved to another hotel overnight.

She would be returning to Country R in a day or two.

She might never meet Long Ming again.

…

The next day.

Cen Xi and Xiao Ying went to the mall to shop.

Qiao Yanze sent a message asking if they were going back for lunch. Cen Xi replied that she wanted to treat her sister to a meal outside.

However, that was not to be. It was almost noon when Cen Xi accidentally sprained her ankle.

Although it was not serious, she could not continue shopping.

Cen Xi could only listen to Xiao Ying and the two of them returned home.

Several black sedans were parked outside the Qiao manor.

Seeing those cars, Xiao Ying’s heart skipped a beat.

Had Long Ming come?

It couldn’t be that coincidental. Qiao Yanze was the Duke now and there were many guests who came to visit him usually, so it might not be Long Ming.

Cen Xi took a few steps forward and seeing that Xiao Ying did not move, she turned back and looked at her in confusion. “Sister, what’s wrong?”

Xiao Ying shook her head. “I’m fine. Let’s go!”

They changed their shoes and headed into the living room.

The fragrance of food wafted over from the kitchen and Cen Xi said with a smile, “It’s just as well that we’re back. There should be food soon.”

Before Xiao Ying could say anything, a man’s voice sounded from the stairs.

One was Qiao Yanze’s and the other…

Cen Xi could also tell who was speaking and she hurriedly looked at Xiao Ying.

Xiao Ying had told Cen Xi about her and Long Ming’s hypnosis. Although she had not really been hypnotized, Long Ming had already forgotten about her.

Xiao Ying did not think that she would meet Long Ming at the Qiao family. After a moment of panic, Xiao Ying regained her composure.

Seeing Cen Xi looking at her, she shook her head with a smile, indicating that she was fine.

After Qiao Yanze and Long Ming went downstairs, Qiao Yanze saw that Cen Xi and Xiao Ying had returned. He strode forward and grabbed Cen Xi’s shoulders. “Aren’t you eating outside?”

“I accidentally sprained my ankle.”

A nervous expression appeared on Qiao Yanze’s handsome face. “You sprained your ankle? Is it serious?”

“It’s not serious. I’ll be fine after some rest.”

Seeing that Cen Xi was fine, Qiao Yanze was relieved. He put his arm around Cen Xi’s shoulders and looked at Long Ming. “This is my wife, Cen Xi.”

Long Ming raised his well-defined hand and shook Cen Xi’s hand. “Hello, Mrs Qiao.” With that said, Long Ming’s cold eyes swept towards Xiao Ying, who was standing by the side. His lips moved. “This is?”

“She’s my sister,” Cen Xi replied.

Long Ming nodded and said nothing more.

The butler came over to inform Qiao Yanze that lunch was ready.

Since Cen Xi and Xiao Ying were back, they naturally ate together.

Xiao Ying and Long Ming sat opposite each other.

Xiao Ying tried to make herself look more natural, but she was a little reserved when she met Long Ming’s meaningful gaze from time to time.

His gaze on her was very deep and she had a feeling that he could see through her soul.

They were already strangers. Why was she acting so unnaturally when she was facing him?

During the meal, Xiao Ying was distracted.

When it finally ended, Xiao Ying found an excuse and left the dining room first.

Long Ming looked at Xiao Ying’s retreating figure and narrowed his hawk-like eyes slightly.

…

Cen Xi found Xiao Ying sitting on the swing in the back garden.

“Sister, are you sure that he was really hypnotized and forgot about you at that time? Why do I feel that the way he looked at you was a little strange?”

Xiao Ying pursed her pink lips and furrowed her eyebrows thoughtfully.

“Probably not. After the hypnosis, he looked at me like I was a stranger.”

…

Xiao Ying stayed in the back garden for a long time. She only returned to the living room after Cen Xi sent a message that Long Ming had left.

Xiao Ying was going back to R Country soon. After staying for more than ten days on this trip, she missed her baby too much.

Cen Xi knew how Xiao Ying felt and did not ask her to stay. “Sister, the next time you come, you must bring Little Cutie.”

Xiao Ying nodded. “I’ll definitely bring her next time. You have to take good care of yourself too.”

Cen Xi’s eyes turned red. “Okay.” Cen Xi did not spend much time with Xiao Ying, but they were very close. Cen Xi’s biggest wish was for Xiao Ying to be happy.

It was a pity that Xiao Ying had experienced too much and her heart was already riddled with holes. It would be very difficult for a man to touch her heart and enter her inner world!

…

Xiao Ying returned to the hotel, took a shower, changed into casual clothes, and went downstairs.

When they had been at the mall that morning, she had wanted to buy a tie, but she had not managed to find a suitable one.

If she remembered correctly, there was a high-end mall 500 meters away from the hotel.

Xiao Ying walked over.

Even at night, the mall was still brightly lit.

Xiao Ying went up to the fourth floor.

Finding a flagship store for men’s wear, Xiao Ying walked in.

When the staff saw Xiao Ying coming in, she sized her up.

Although she was wearing a low-key casual outfit, she had an extraordinary aura. As such, the staff welcomed her warmly. “Miss, what would you like to buy?”

“I want to buy a tie.”

“For your boyfriend?”

Xiao Ying smiled without saying anything.

“This way please.” The staff brought her to the tie area and Xiao Ying saw a burgundy one. “Can I take a look at this?”

“Of course.”

When the staff handed Xiao Ying the tie, another staff’s sweet voice sounded from the door. “Welcome.”

“Ming, you’re too unchanging usually. You’re still so young. Why do you always wear black? Although you look handsome in black, I think it’s not bad for you to wear other colors!”

The man didn’t speak.

“I know it’s hard for you to change your style in such a short time. Why don’t you start by changing your tie?” The woman said and looked at the staff. “Please take us to choose some ties.”

Xiao Ying, who was looking at the burgundy tie in her hand, looked up when she heard the sound.

She froze when she saw the man and woman walking over.

How could there be such a coincidence?

Was she going to meet Long Ming at the mall again?

Xiao Ying pretended not to see him. She thought that the burgundy tie in her hand was not bad and handed it back to the staff. “Wrap it up for me!”

The staff responded and was about to take the tie when a low and cold voice suddenly sounded. “How much is the tie? I’ll buy it for double the price.”
