Chapter 195 - The Collaboration

Long Family connection with Dragon Clan?

Eh wait, they couldn't write that one or their superior would smack them for good. They were not allowed to openly write about the Dragon Clan. 

However, it was already good enough for them that they already could think of various good headlines.

Long Family will start invest in other business!

Long Family Third Young Master appears in public for the first time!

The truth about Long Family! There was truly the Third Young Master!

The Third Young Master of Long Family appears after 28 years and he's already married!

An so on.

The reporters were already scrambling to think of headlines for their newspaper and reported whatever they found to the higher ups. They would make sure that they could grab the spotlight tomorrow.

Unfortunately, they were not allowed to take pictures in the hall right now.

How unfortunate.

Long Shu Ting laughed when he saw everyone so agitated. He glanced at Long Ying. "We shall discuss the detail. My wife and son is at the side garden. You can go there first."

"Alright. Take care, First Brother."

Long Ying held Yu Yan's hand tightly and carefully as he led her to the side garden. Unlike the back garden that was open to the public, the side garden was tightly guarded and ordinary guests were not allowed to come inside.

But of course, the guard would not make their move when they saw the one who came was Long Ying and Yu Yan.

The side garden was spacious and naturally could hold a lot of people. There was a maze made out of bushes and also several tables and chairs that was placed neatly by the side. It was beautiful.

Sitting on one of the chair was Zhou Xi An. Beside her was her son, Long Ao Jiang.

"Auntie!" Long Ao Jiang's eyes lit up when he saw Yu Yan and leapt down from the chair. He was already six years old and naturally no longer as small as before.

Yu Yan crouched down and caught Long Ao Jiang in her arms. She smiled brightly. "Ao Jiang, are you being a good boy?"

"Of course! Do you miss me, Auntie?"

"I miss you." Yu Yan caressed Long Ao Jiang's hair and messed it up a bit. The boy squirmed a bit but he still laughed. 

After a while, Long Ao Jiang struggled and Yu Yan let him down. He held Yu Yan's hand. "Aunt, let's play! The maze is fun!"

"Okay. Are there any interesting thing in the maze?"

"There's a large foundation in the middle."

"Oh, can you show Auntie?"

"Yes!"

Long Ying smiled when he watched his wife having fun. He could clearly see the longing in Yu Yan's eyes when she was looking at Long Ao Jiang… His heart wrenched in pain whenever he recalled that medical report.

Zhou Xi An looked at Long Ying. "Will you change your name now?"

"Hmm?"

"Don't play dumb, Long Shu Ting had told me that your real name that's recorded in the family record is actually Long Shu Ying."

The only reason why Long Ying never used his real name was because it would reveal that he was part of Long Family. After all, there were not many people with the same name as him.

Long Ying let out a laugh. "No need. I like my current name better."

Zhou Xi An merely arched her eyebrows as she watched Long Ao Jiang and Yu Yan who were already playing inside the bush maze. She could see that even though Long Ao Jiang was hiding his real intelligence in front of his aunt, he was genuinely having fun.

"Does that Old Man agrees for you to reveal your status?"

"Even if he didn't, he couldn't do anything anymore." Long Ying shook his head. "Who told him to fall for that treacherous Second Brother's scheme."

"Heh."

Taking a sip of the wine in front of her, Zhou Xi An sighed. "You're free to come back when Long Shu Ting become the family head if you wish for it. Long Ao Jiang will be happy if his aunt come to visit."

"I'll keep that in mind."

Long Ying actually wished that he could have a child with Yu Yan instead of having her playing with Long Ao Jiang all the time. But recalling the current condition… he would rather not bring it up.

It was already good enough that Yu Yan could have fun to play with Long Ao Jiang like today.

After some time, the door opened and Long Shu Ting walked in. He smiled. "The reporters have left and also most of the guests. They certainly have no reason to stay behind after we have finished the countdown."

"I see."

"I still have to take care of the mess created by Long Shu Xing. In the meantime, you need to be prepared that his men might not take this lying down that you suddenly choose to show your support to me."

Long Ying shrugged. "Uncle had told me about the things that happened during his time, so I'll prepare myself."

"Good."

Back then, Long Shao Han, Long Ying's uncle, also openly showed his support for Long Shao Huai for some time. However, the fanfare died down after Long Shao Huai got the position as the family head.

After all, Long Shao Han was more used to work in the darkness and not to openly showcase his power like that. Thus, peace was restored. 

It was the rule that Dragon Clan will not show themselves unless they were facing the problem of inheritance. They would show their support to one of them, who would be the next head. 

Normally, the one they chose would be the next head for sure but if the person failed, they would have to change their support and probably faced some problems.

"I didn't expect you to be the one to make the request, though." Long Shu Ting chuckled. "I thought that I'll have to be the one to approach you."

"Hmm, I just wish this matter to be over faster. Long Shu Xing will not hesitate to harm my family just to get me."

"Violence will not work against you."

"You sound as if you know me so well."
