Chapter 1283: When Are We Getting Married
Xuan Ying’s eyes were dark and chilly. He looked at Auntie Su lightly and said in a low voice, “This isn’t your fault.”
As he stood at the bedside looking at the unconscious Concubine Yu, he reached out to hold her cold hands.
Xuan Ying had always been filial. All these years, his mother had thrown her life away for him. She had been a beauty in her younger days but now her legs were disabled, her hair was white and her face was full of wrinkles. She had already grown old.
He had failed to protect his mother.
“Auntie Su, get a pail of warm water to wipe her.”
“Alright,” Auntie Su said as she entered the toilet.
After Auntie Su left, Xuan Ying opened his eyes and they glanced coldly towards Auntie Su’s departing figure.
...
Inside Limousine X.
Ah Zhou said in a low voice, “Master, how could Madam have fainted so suddenly? I suspect there’s more to this.”
From his position in the passenger seat, Xuan Ying leaned back casually as his thin lips pressed into a tight line. A cold smile was on his lips. “There’s a mole.”
Ah Zhou was startled.
Taking out his cell phone, Xuan Ying punched in some buttons and called a number. The phone rang twice before the person on the other end picked up with a drawl. A warm and gentle voice floated over. “Hello?”
“Doctor Sikong, are you still in Country A?”
“Yes.”
“I need to trouble you a little. My mom is currently in a coma and I suspect that she was poisoned. I’ll get someone to send you a half a vial of her blood later, so please help me take a look.”
Sikong hesitated for two seconds before agreeing. “Alright.”
“Doctor Sikong, thank you.”
“It’s nothing, don’t worry about it.” Sikong hung up.
After putting his phone back in his pocket, Xuan Ying leaned back again. Now that Sikong was involved, the matter would become so much simpler. As for who was behind all this, he suspected that they would approach him soon.
Soon enough, Limousine X pulled into the Snow Mountain Residence and Ah Zhou opened the back door. Xuan Ying got out, still in his army boots.
At this moment, a melodious voice floated over. “Ying.”
When Xuan Ying lifted his eyes, he saw a beautiful figure standing in front of him. It was Shi Xiaoxiao. She was dressed in a long dress and looking at him.
Xuan Ying’s brows twitched. What was she doing here?
Mu Mu was right. She had dressed up today.
“Mommy, are you disappointed that Handsome Uncle isn’t coming?”
Xia Ling picked Mu Mu up and smiled. “Of course not.”
“Mommy is lying,” Mu Mu said as she kissed Xia Ling. “Mommy, I like Handsome Uncle. Can he be my Daddy?”
Looking at her daughter’s hopeful eyes, Xia Ling felt extremely guilty. She knew that Mu Mu wanted a Daddy, that she wanted a complete family.
“Actually... Mommy likes Handsome Uncle too...” Xia Ling’s small face was red.
“Really? Really really?! That’s great, I can finally have a Daddy!” Mu Mu started dancing around happily.
Seeing her daughter so happy, Xia Ling smiled as well.
Ding. She received a message.
An anonymous number had sent her a photo.
When Xia Ling opened the message, she saw that it was a photo.
A woman was hugging Xuan Ying in the Snow Mountain Residence.
Xia Ling was stunned.
He had said that he had urgent matters to settle in the phone call just now. So he was referring to this woman.
Lies... He had lied to her.
The affection and warm feelings in her heart instantly evaporated into nothingness. She felt as though someone had drenched her in a bucket of iced water.
Her hands and legs were frozen this wintery night.
...
The next morning.
Xia Ling went back to school, walking on the pavement with a few books clutched in her hands. She suddenly heard someone call her. “Xia Ling.”
Xia Ling’s footsteps halted and she looked back. It was Shi Xiaoxiao.
Almost immediately, Xia Ling recognized her as the woman from yesterday night’s photo. This was the woman who was hugging Xuan Ying.
Shi Xiaoxiao walked over to Xia Ling and smiled prettily. “Hello Miss Xia, let me introduce myself. My name is Shi Xiaoxiao, I’m Xuan Ying’s fiancée.”
Fiancée?
This word reverberated in Xia Ling’s ear. So he had a fiancee...
“Ying and I are going to have a grand wedding. Everyone knows that General Shi’s precious daughter Shi Xiaoxiao is the Silver Mask King’s fiancée and that we’re getting married soon. But I heard that he’s been obsessed with you lately. Have the two of you slept together?”
Have they slept together?
