Xuan Ying's eyes were like spilled ink, so thick that it made one shudder. He glanced at Auntie Su impassively and said in a low voice, "You're not to blame for this matter."
He stood by the bed and looked at the unconscious Concubine Yu. Then, he reached out and held Concubine Yu's old and cold hand.
Xuan Ying had always been filial. His mother had ruined her entire life because of him. She used to be a beauty, but now she was crippled, her hair was white and her face was wrinkled.
He didn't protect his mother.
"Auntie Su, go get a basin of warm water for Mother."
"Okay." Auntie Su quickly entered the bathroom.
After Auntie Su left, Xuan Ying lifted his eyes and looked at Auntie Su coldly.
…
In the luxury car.
Ah Zhou said in a low voice, "Master, why did Madam suddenly fall unconscious? I think there's something fishy going on."
Xuan Ying leaned indolently against the seat, his thin lips curved into a cold, bloodthirsty smile. "There's a mole."
Ah Zhou was shocked.
Xuan Ying took out his cell phone, dialing a number.
The phone on the other end rang once before it was picked up unhurriedly. A noble and gentle voice was heard. "Hello."
"Doctor Sikong, are you still in Country A?"
"Yes."
"There's something I need to trouble you with. My mother is unconscious and I suspect that someone poisoned her. Someone will send you half a tube of blood later. Please help me check it."
Sikong was silent for two seconds, then he nodded. "Okay."
"Doctor Sikong, thank you."
"It's nothing, you're welcome." Sikong hung up the phone.
Xuan Ying placed his cell phone back in his pocket. With Sikong's help, things would be much simpler.
As for who the mastermind was, he was sure that someone would come looking for him soon.
The luxury car stopped at the Snow Mountain Residence. Ah Zhou opened the back door respectfully and Xuan Ying alighted from the car.
At this moment, a melodious voice was heard. "Ying."
Xuan Ying lifted his eyes, there was an elegant figure standing in front of him. It was Shi Xiaoxiao.
Shi Xiaoxiao was wearing a long dress, looking at him with a gentle demeanor.
Xuan Ying's brows twitched. It was her!
…
The doors to the Snow Mountain Residence opened and Xuan Ying and Shi Xiaoxiao entered the living room.
Xuan Ying walked into the kitchen and took out his phone from his pocket. He was supposed to have dinner with Xia Ling tonight.
He dialed Xia Ling's number.
"Hello." Soon, Xia Ling's sweet voice came from the other end.
Hearing her voice, Xuan Ying lifted his hand and unbuttoned a button around his neck. The gloominess on his handsome face dissipated and the corners of his lips kicked up into a gentle smile. "Lingling, what are you doing?"
"I just picked up Mu Mu."
Soon, Mu Mu's sweet voice could be heard from the other end. "Handsome Uncle, Mommy said that you're treating us to dinner tonight. Mommy's dressed up very nicely, come quickly."
"Mu Mu!" Xia Ling's coquettish voice rang out as she quickly covered Mu Mu's mouth.
Xuan Ying's heart softened. He wanted to grow a pair of wings and fly to their side, but he couldn't.
"Lingling, I have something urgent to deal with tonight, so I have to cancel the date. I'm sorry, don't be angry."
He lowered his voice and carefully tried to curry favor with her.
Xia Ling was silent for a few seconds before she quickly said, "I won't be angry. Go ahead and do what you need to do. I'm hanging up now."
She hung up the phone.
Xuan Ying held onto his phone tightly. At this moment, a soft body pressed against him from behind. Shi Xiaoxiao hugged him.
Xuan Ying froze.
Shi Xiaoxiao pressed her face against his muscular back and rubbed her face against it lovingly. "Ying, have you forgotten that I'm still your fiancée? My dad has been asking me all these days when we're going to get married."
Xuan Ying remained expressionless and said, "Let go of me."
"I won't." Shi Xiaoxiao hugged him even tighter. "Feng Lingxue is already dead. I heard that you fell in love with a substitute who looks exactly like Feng Lingxue. It's okay, I love you. I'll let you get a concubine after we get married."
Xuan Ying turned around and pushed Shi Xiaoxiao away. "How do you know who I've fallen in love with? Shi Xiaoxiao, you sent someone to investigate me, hm?"
Her eyes met his cold gaze and Shi Xiaoxiao's face paled.
This man was like the most ferocious beast in the forest. As long as there was the slightest wind blowing on the grass, he would counterattack.
He was too vigilant.
…
On the streets.
Xia Ling lowered her long lashes and placed her phone back into her bag. There was a tinge of disappointment in her eyes.
She wore a white coat with a pink dress underneath. The combination made her look as soft as water, like a lotus that had just bloomed.
Mu Mu was right. She had dressed herself up beautifully today.
"Mommy, are you disappointed that Handsome Uncle isn't here?"
Xia Ling bent over and hugged Mu Mu. Her red lips curved upwards. "Nope."
"Mommy, you're lying." With that, Mu Mu kissed Xia Ling. "Mommy, I really like Handsome Uncle. Can he be my Daddy?"
Seeing the hope and desire in her daughter's eyes, Xia Ling felt guilty and her heart ached. She knew that Mu Mu wanted a daddy and a complete family.
"Actually, Mommy also … likes Handsome Uncle a little …" Xia Ling's face flushed red.
"Really? That's great, I can have a daddy! "Mu Mu danced around happily.
A smile appeared on Xia Ling's face.
Ding! She had received a text message.
It was a message from an unknown number.
Xia Ling opened it and saw a photo.
In the kitchen of the Snow Mountain Residence, Xuan Ying was being hugged by a woman.
She froze.
He had said that he had something to deal with over the phone just now, but it turned out that he was with another woman.
He had lied to her.
The joy and sweetness in her heart disappeared in an instant. It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head.
Her hands and feet were cold in the winter.
…
The next morning.
Xia Ling went to school, carrying a few books in her arms. She suddenly heard someone call her. "Xia Ling."
Xia Ling stopped in her tracks and turned around. It was Shi Xiaoxiao.
Xia Ling recognized Shi Xiaoxiao immediately. It was the woman in the photo last night. She was the one who had hugged Xuan Ying.
Shi Xiaoxiao walked in front of Xia Ling and smiled elegantly. "Hello, Miss Xia. Let me introduce myself. I'm Shi Xiaoxiao, Xuan Ying's fiancée."
Fiancée?
These three words exploded in Xia Ling's ears. He actually had a fiancée?
"Ying and I have held a grand engagement ceremony. Everyone knows that General Shi's daughter, Shi Xiaoxiao, is Silver Mask King's fiancée and we will be getting married soon.
"But I heard that Ying has been infatuated with you recently. Have you two slept together?"
Have you two slept together?
Shi Xiaoxiao asked the lustful question.
