Chapter 1288 - I’m Begging You, Please Marry Her (1/2)

General Shi was calling him.

Xuan Ying’s frantic heart finally calmed down. Mu Mu was safe.

As long as he was still here, Mu Mu was safe.

Xuan Ying picked up the call. “Hello, General Shi.”

“Silver Mask King,” General Shi’s voice floated over from the other end of the call. “Let me apologize first. Yes, I took your daughter Mu Mu away, but let me promise you, I will never harm her. I’ll bring her up like she was my own.”

Xuan Ying’s thin lips slowly curved upwards and said, “General Shi, I’m sorry to have caused you trouble. What can I do to make it up to you?”

“Silver Mask King, I heard that my daughter Xiaoxiao is in your hands. Ask your men to send Xiaoxiao back to me first. I’ll have a Master look at her. There’s an auspicious date in five days and you can get married to Xiaoxiao then.”

Xuan Ying was expressionless but his aura was dark and dangerous.

“General Shi, you’re the first person who has dared to threaten my people like that.”

“Hahaha, Silver Mask King, please don’t scare me like that. My hand might slip and accidentally harm your daughter, and then there’ll be trouble.”

A frown was on his face as Xuan Ying said, “I’ll get someone to send Shi Xiaoxiao back first. As for the wedding, I need a day to think about it.”

“Alright,” General Shi said as he hung up.

Red-hot anger washed over him as he tightened the grip around his phone. At this moment, a pair of hurried footsteps came from behind him. “Mu Mu, where’s my Mu Mu?”

Xia Ling had rushed over.

She had just reached the gates of A University when the kindergarten teacher had called to inform her that Mu Mu was missing. It was as though someone had reached out from the darkness and pushed her off the cliff and into the abyss.

Mu Mu was her everything.

Xuan Ying quickly turned around and saw Feng Lingxue running over, her small face pale and streaked with tears.

“Mu Mu… Mu Mu…”

Her eyes were frantic and darting around as she looked for even a trace of Mu Mu.

Her hands were freezing and she was shivering with cold.

“Lingling.” Xuan Ying walked up to her and pulled her shivering body into his embrace. He pressed his soft lips against her cold face and kissed her. He wondered how she had survived these three years.

How much hardship must she have gone through? She must have struggled so much and been in so much pain. She looked so weak now.

“Let go of me, I want to go look for Mu Mu! My Mu Mu! Why can’t you just let her go? Why can’t you just let us go? What did we ever do wrong?”

Xia Ling struggled violently in his arms as warm tears started streaming down her cheeks. She wanted Mu Mu. She wanted to go find Mu Mu.

“Lingling, don’t be scared. I will save Mu Mu. I will protect the two of you!”

At this moment, Xia Ling’s legs weakened and she fainted.

…

Xia Ling opened her eyes slowly and she stared in confusion at the chandelier above her. This room felt vaguely familiar. It was Xuan Ying’s room.

Xuan Ying had brought her back to the Snow Mountain Residence.

So it hadn’t been a dream.

It was real.

Mu Mu was missing again.

Xia Ling stayed like that, staring at the ceiling for a long time as hot tears rolled down her cheek. She despaired silently.

After her life of hardships and suffering, all she wanted was a simple life. But all the heavens did was laugh at her day after day.

How many times did she have to go through such painful separation and heartbreak?
