Chapter 1279 - Loving Her (1/2)
Xia Ling didn’t see him in the limousine before she agreed. If she had known that he was there, she definitely wouldn’t agree to the ride.
“Xiaoling, won’t you sit down? The chauffeur is going to begin driving.”
Sit down?
But where was she going to sit?
Concubine Yu held Mu Mu in her arms while Auntie Su occupied a seat, the only seat left was opposite them.
But Xuan Ying was seated there.
As he took the outermost seat, she could only pass by him and sit beside him.
Xia Ling looked at Auntie Su, whispering, “Auntie Su, can I change seats with you?”
Auntie Su’s eyes crinkled into a smile and she waved her arm. “I can’t, I need to wait on Madam.”
“…”
“Mommy, you can sit with the handsome uncle.”
Xia Ling didn’t know what to say.
Concubine Yu looked at her son, chiding him, “Xuan Ying, take your legs away and let Xiaoling go in.”
His long legs were blocking the way. Ever since Xia Ling came inside the limousine, Xuan Ying didn’t spare her a single glance. He just retracted his legs.
Xia Ling moved over, taking a seat beside him.
…
The chauffeur started driving and Xuan Ying didn’t talk at all, but the atmosphere remained pleasant. Concubine Yu really liked Mu Mu and they enjoyed talking to each other.
“Mu Mu, Auntie Su’s signature dish is mango pudding. We can have Auntie Su make that for you if you come over for dinner later. Do you want to?” Concubine Yu touched Mu Mu’s head dotingly.
“Thank you, Granny, but I can’t eat mango pudding.”
“Why?”
“Mm, I’m allergic to mangoes.”
Concubine Yu’s heart thudded. Mu Mu was allergic to mangoes? Xuan Ying was also allergic to mangoes… Was it a mere coincidence?
Concubine Yu looked at Mu Mu’s face carefully. Was she being too sensitive? She could somehow notice the resemblance to Xuan Ying.
Who was Mu Mu’s father? Was it going to remain a mystery?
Could it be that… Mu Mu was Xuan Ying’s daughter? And Mu Mu was her granddaughter?
As the thoughts rushed through her head, Concubine Yu’s mind was almost bursting from what it implied, but she remained calm on the outside. Without letting herself disclose any of her thoughts, she secretly took a strand of Mu Mu’s hair.
She was going to send the sample for a DNA paternity test.
“Xuan Ying, look how cute Mu Mu is. When are you going to find a woman and give birth to a grandchild for me?” Concubine Yu looked at Xuan Ying, who sat opposite her.
In response, Xuan Ying only remained expressionless, exuding a cold, devilish charm. “Having a child is easy enough, I have the seeds.”
Meanwhile, Xia Ling sat beside him, trying to not make her presence obvious. But when she heard him mention that he had the seeds, her lashes fluttered and she looked away.
Those words sounded seemed intentional as if it was meant for a certain someone. In fact, those memories from the night they spent together were still vivid in her mind.
“Go ahead now. Tell me the truth, do you like anyone now?” Concubine Yu asked.
Xuan Ying raised his brows. “I do like… someone.”
When she heard this, Xia Ling’s heart raced. He had someone he liked?
“Who is she?”
“She is…”
Xia Ling couldn’t help herself and she pricked up her ears. She wanted to know the answer.
Xuan Ying suddenly changed his mind. “We shouldn’t talk about her anymore. She’s a heartless person. She doesn’t cherish me even after I became hers.”
“…”
