Chapter 1795: Xiao Ying and Long Ming’s Ending (38)
Xiao Ying blushed, her long and thick eyelashes fluttering.
She had called him Long Ming since she met him.
She was already used to it.
Raising her head from the man’s arms, she bit her lip as she stared at his dark eyes. “It’s good to call you Long Ming. No one else dares to call you that. This is my exclusive name for you.”
Long Ming looked at the woman who looked even younger and more beautiful after removing her makeup. He brushed away a strand of hair by her cheek and played with it. “What are you going to call me tonight?”
There was a rare shyness and unnaturalness in Xiao Ying’s beautiful eyes. She turned her face away, not looking at him. But the next second, her face was grabbed by his large hand.
He forced her to meet his gaze.
She looked like she would not stop until she changed her way of addressing him.
“You smell like alcohol. Go take a shower.”
“Don’t change the topic.”
Under his strong pressure, Xiao Ying could only call out, “Ah Ming.”
The man furrowed his eyebrows slightly. “No.”
Xiao Ying glared at him. “My King.”
The man narrowed his deep eyes. “I’ll give you another chance.”
“Hubby…” Her voice was as soft as a mosquito’s.
A faint smile appeared on the man’s lips, but he still did not intend to let her off easily. “What? I didn’t hear anything.”
Xiao Ying looked at the man who was teasing her on purpose and wanted to kick him, but she still called him louder, “Hubby.”
A smile appeared on Long Ming’s cold and sharp eyes.
He pulled her into his arms and rested his chin on the top of her head. His deep voice was filled with affection and tenderness. “Ying, my wife. My Princess Consort.”
…
Downstairs.
Cen Xi saw that the lights in the couple’s room had dimmed. She walked up to Qiao Yanze, who was standing in the pavilion, her slender hand holding his hand.
Almost immediately, Qiao Yanze held her hand tightly.
The two of them walked deeper into the garden along the path.
Xiao Ying hugged the man’s arm and leaned her head against his firm shoulder, a sweet smile on her lips. “When our baby is older, I’ll bring her to stay with my sister for a while.”
Qiao Yanze stared at the woman beside him, his eyes filled with adoration. “You don’t want me anymore?”
“I’m tired of watching you every day.”
“Little girl, your wings have hardened. How dare you despise your husband?” He reached for her waist.
She was most afraid of tickles. She giggled when he scratched her.
Pushing him away, she fought back.
Their laughter echoed in the fragrant garden.
…
Cen Xi and Qiao Yanze stayed here for three days. Only when Xiao Ying and Long Ming took Wan Bao out for their honeymoon did they leave and return to the capital.
When she arrived at the capital, it was already late at night.
After Cen Xi came out from the shower, she went to the study to find Qiao Yanze, who was busy with work. “Dear, Sister Yanran’s new mall is opening tomorrow. She invited me to cut the ribbon with Mengmeng. I might be back later tomorrow.”
Qiao Yanze pulled Cen Xi into his arms and kissed her cheek. “Then, you should sleep quickly so you can look beautiful when you go to the ribbon-cutting ceremony tomorrow.”
“Honey, you should rest early too. Don’t work too late into the night.”
Coming out of the study, Cen Xi went to the study to see her baby before she returned to the bedroom to rest.
…
The next day.
Cen Xi arrived at Xia Yanran’s new mall early.
Even after Xia Yanran and Xiao Yi got married, she did not become a full-time housewife. With her personality, she had to have her own career. Although Xiao Yi wanted her to stay at home to take care of her husband and children, he respected her ideas and taught her how to manage the mall. Now, Xia Yanran already had several large shopping malls with international brands.
The new mall was opening and it was bustling with noise and excitement.
Apart from Nan Zhi, who was doing charity work overseas and could not make it back in time, Yan Hua, Xia Mo, Gu Meng and Cen Xi all came.
Of course, there was also Xia Tang, who was now a popular star in the entertainment industry.
Xia Tang was good at singing, dancing, and composing. She had already become popular two years ago. After she became popular, she went to the Film Academy to further her studies. Last year, she filmed a movie and once it was released, it had a very good response and the box office earnings broke the billion-dollar mark.
She walked over step by step, winning fresh flowers, applause, and honor. From being unknown to being known by everyone, she had put in a lot of effort. Only those who were close to her knew that she did not rely on her brothers and sisters, but relied on some luck, talent, and hard work to get to where she was today.
Xia Tang and Xia Yanran walked the red carpet together. Xia Tang was wearing a backless long dress, her long hair wrapped around her shoulders, revealing her fair and beautiful back. The fitting cut and material outlined Xia Tang’s figure very well.
Xia Tang was no longer the bespectacled girl who did not like to dress up. Her facial features were extremely beautiful. Her eyes were not the wide and fashionable eyes, but were narrow with slightly upturned eyelashes. She looked like a classic beauty.
Her skin was fair, her frame small, and her aura meant that she could handle any makeup and style.
She was now publicly known as the ‘Little Diva’. At the concert, her appearance was ever-changing. She could be artistic and fresh, but could also be seductive.
During the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the lights were flashing nonstop.
Although Gu Meng and Cen Xi were not from the entertainment industry and Yan Hua had also retired after giving birth to her second child, the husbands they married were all big shots whom people looked up to and worshiped. Every one of them had many fans.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was rather lively.
After they were done, Xia Yanran invited them to eat at the mall.
Among the few of them, Xia Tang was the only one who was single. They started to talk about her.
“Yanran, your Tangtang is so beautiful and elegant. I wonder who will be the lucky one in the future?” Yan Hua looked at Xia Tang with a smile on her face. “I’ll tell you the truth. Bo Yan is a cousin of Tang Tang’s and is a fan of her. He knows that I had the chance to see Tang Tang today and wants me to show her his photo.”
Xia Tang smiled and shook her head. “Sister Huahua, I don’t have any plans to have a boyfriend for the time being. I’ll give you an autographed photo for that Young Master!”
Since Xia Tang was unwilling, Yan Hua would not say anything.
That night.
Xia Yanran left Xia Tang in the villa for the night. After Xia Tang took a bath, she looked at Xia Yanran, who was sitting by her bed. “Sister, it’s so late. Why aren’t you resting?”
Xia Yanran pressed Xia Tang onto the bed and took the towel from her, wiping her hair before she took the hairdryer to dry the latter’s hair.
Xia Tang looked at Xia Yanran with gentle eyes. “Sister, why are you still treating me like a child?”
Xia Yanran sat beside Xia Tang and held her slender hand. “Tangtang, you’ve been independent since you were young. You keep everything to yourself and rarely complain to your siblings. Now that you’re not young anymore, can you tell me why you haven’t found a boyfriend?”
