Chapter 1740 - She Came to Look for Him

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Seeing the troubled expressions of the guards, Xiao Ying seemed to understand something.

From the moment Tang En agreed to let her find Long Ming, she had already mentally prepared herself.

He really only remembered about her betrayal and hated her. That was why Tang En let her back so confidently.

She was already mentally prepared, but at this moment, her heart was still filled with pain.

She calmed herself down and did not make things difficult for the guard.

She did not leave and stood at the palace door until evening.

Several luxurious black sedans drove over from not too far away.

Xiao Ying took a few steps forward, her eyes fixed on the black sedan in the middle.

When they arrived at the entrance of the palace, the car slowed down and the window of the car in the middle slowly lowered.

Xiao Ying saw the man sitting in the back row.

Perhaps sensing her gaze, the man also looked towards her.

The moment their eyes met, she saw coldness, ruthlessness, and hatred in his eyes… His face was tensed and his expression was cold. There was no longer any warmth in his eyes.

She felt like she had fallen into an igloo.

Her entire body was cold.

Xiao Ying took a few steps forward, wanting to get closer to him. However, the window was wound up very quickly.

The tinted car windows blocked her sight.

The car drove into the palace.

Xiao Ying looked at the convoy that was gradually moving away from her sight, her heart surging with emotions.

But she knew that she could not give up just like that.

…

Xiao Ying arrived at the Duke’s palace.

Knowing that Xiao Ying was back, the couple were overjoyed.

Unlike Long Ming’s attitude, the Duke and his wife came out to welcome her personally.

The Duke’s wife looked at Xiao Ying, who had lost a lot of weight, and pulled her into her arms, her tears flowing. “My poor child… You must have suffered a lot recently. It’s alright, it’s alright. Daddy and Mommy will protect you now that you’re back.”

Being hugged by the Duke’s wife, Xiao Ying felt a warmth she had never felt before.

Although she had not known the Duke’s wife for long, she could feel that the Duke’s wife really doted on her. She had fallen for her the moment she saw her.

The Duke stood by the side. Seeing that the Duke’s wife was crying terribly, his eyes could not help but turn red. “Alright, it wasn’t easy for our daughter to come back. Why are you always crying?”

Xiao Ying wiped the tears on the Duchess’s face and called out, “Daddy, Mommy.”

The tears that the Duke’s wife had finally stopped fell again.

Xiao Ying looked like the Duke’s wife when she was young. The Duke’s wife had fallen for her the moment she saw her and had even secretly gone to check her DNA, but it turned out that she was not her daughter.

But was that so important?

Seeing a girl who looked like her when she was young, she liked her from the bottom of her heart. She wanted to dote on her and love her.

“Good girl. Go and take a bath first. Mommy will cook for you personally.”

“Thank you, Mom.”

When she came to Burma in the past, Xiao Ying had been rejected by Long Ming and could only stay in a hotel. She had no sense of belonging.

But now that she had the couple, she felt the warmth of home.

When she came to the room where she had fainted last time, Xiao Ying felt like it had happened a lifetime ago.

She went to the wardrobe to pick out some clothes and took a bath.

After taking a bath, she went downstairs.

The Duke’s wife took out a dessert that Xiao Ying liked. “Eat some of this to fill your stomach first. Mom is still cooking the other dishes.”

Xiao Ying nodded.

An hour later, the Duke’s wife was done cooking.

Xiao Ying glanced at it. There were three dishes and a soup, all of which were Xiao Ying’s favorites.

Not only did the Duchess scoop rice for Xiao Ying, but she also filled her bowl with soup. She sat beside her and looked at her lovingly.

“Ying’er, you might be unhappy if I ask, but I’m really worried about you. How have you been these past few days? Did the person who took you do anything bad to you?”

Xiao Ying did not dislike the Duchess asking this question.

She knew that she had only asked because she really cared about her.

“Mom, I’m fine… The ones who were hurt were Wan Bao and Long Ming. Long Ming was injured and lost a part of his memories. I want to help him regain his memories, but now he doesn’t even want to look at me.”

The Duchess frowned.

She had also heard about Long Ming’s injury. Ever since he was injured, his personality had changed and he had never come to the Duke’s palace again. He had also been rather impatient when she called the palace to ask about Xiao Ying.

So, it was because he had lost his memory.

“If you want to see him, I can bring you to the palace tomorrow.”

Xiao Ying held the Duchess’ hand. “Thank you, Mom.”

The Duke’s wife patted the back of Xiao Ying’s hand and sighed. “Poor child.”

…

The next day.

Xiao Ying woke up very early. She went to the wardrobe and chose a long pale blue dress. Her hair was braided into a fishbone braid and she put on light makeup.

His current memories were only of the battle in the secluded forest. He probably did not like her heavy makeup and seductive image.

She dressed herself up a little fresher.

The Duke’s wife was waiting downstairs. Seeing Xiao Ying coming down, a smile appeared on her lips. “My daughter looks really good even in a casual outfit.”

Hearing praise from the Duke’s wife, Xiao Ying felt a little embarrassed. “Mom, is it appropriate for me to go see him in this outfit?”

“Yes, yes.” In the eyes of the Duchess, Xiao Ying was beautiful no matter what. She was much prettier than those young socialites.

Sitting in the car, Xiao Ying could not help feeling a little nervous at the thought of seeing Long Ming later.

The Duke’s wife grabbed Xiao Ying’s hand. “Daughter, have more confidence in yourself. From what I know, he has a blood clot pressing down on some of his nerves.”

Xiao Ying could read between the lines of the Duchess’ words. As long as the blood clot disappeared, Long Ming would be able to regain his memory.

However, if they were unlucky, he would require surgery.

No matter what, Xiao Ying had to make him fall in love with her again within this month.

He had always been on the giving end in their relationship. Other than the time when she had taken the initiative to use and lie to him, he had been the one taking the initiative and giving in every step of the way.

This time, she had to take the initiative and work hard.

Before the Duke’s wife arrived at the palace, she had already made an appointment with the butler.

Long Ming stayed in the palace in the morning and did not go to the office building.

After the Duke’s wife brought Xiao Ying over, the butler went to the study upstairs to inform Long Ming.

After a while, Long Ming came downstairs.

Today, Long Ming was wearing a dark V-neck knitted shirt and a pair of perfectly straight pants. His figure was wild and tall, and he had one hand in his pants pocket. His facial features were sharp and cold, his scarlet lips pursed tightly, exuding a coldness that kept people away.

When he walked to the living room and saw the Duchess, he nodded slightly. His deep eyes swept over the young woman beside the Duchess and he suddenly narrowed his eyes.
