Chapter 1722: (Chapter 1722) Grand Dinner

Sakura couldn't help but feel a chill running down her spine as she thought about the black hand behind her back.

That person's power is definitely not simple, and he may have colluded with Barr before.

"Could it be Long Di?" Sakura looked at Long Ming without blinking.

Long Ming shook his head.

The day he saw this information in the conference room, he had already asked Long Di to be interrogated. Various methods were used, but Long Di firmly refused to admit that he had leaked the information.

With Long Di's temperament, if he had such information in his hand, he would have used it to threaten him as early as the day he planned to usurp the throne!

Seeing Long Ming shaking his head, Xiao Ying pressed her lower lip tightly, "Who could that be?" As if she thought of something, Xiao Ying stood up and wanted to walk out of the study. Long Ming grabbed Xiao Ying's wrist and said, "Where are you going? ?”

"Bring your phone here."

Long Ming let go of Xiaoying's wrist.

Sakura took the phone over, clicked into the mailbox, and opened the recording.

"Listen."

When Long Ming heard someone send the two sentences he said in the conference room to Xiaoying, his sharp edges suddenly tightened and became extremely sharp and cold.

"Who sent it?"

"I suspected it was Loulan, but I checked and found no clues. The person who sent me the recording was very cautious."

"Leave this matter to me and I will find out." Long Ming looked at Xiaoying, who seemed a little thinner after not seeing him for two days, and put his long slender palm on her face, "I have made you feel wronged."

Sakura rubbed it into his palm, her nose feeling a little sore, "It's not me who's wronged, but you."

Long Ming knew that Xiaoying felt uncomfortable. The past experience was like a deep scar to her. Although the shell had formed, the flesh inside was still rotten.

Now that someone had torn off her shell and exposed the rotten flesh inside her, she was naturally in pain.

"From now on, you will be the daughter of the Earl's Palace. Everything in the past will be sealed in your memory."

Sakura nodded with red eyes.

After Sakura's emotions slowly calmed down, she wanted to go back to her room to rest. Long Ming held her in his arms and rested his chin on her head, "Do you want to sleep in the guest room?"

Sakura hummed, "I'm still in a mess right now, and I want to be alone for a while."

Long Ming let go of Xiaoying without forcing anything.

When Sakura left the study, she looked at Long Ming's tense silhouette, lowered her eyes and closed the door.

…

One o'clock.

Long Ming came out of the study.

Pushing open the bedroom door, he walked inside and unbuttoned his shirt.

When he was about to reach the bed, his steps paused slightly.

On the large soft couch, a slender figure lay.

The bright white and soft moonlight outside the floor-to-ceiling window came in and fell on the slender shadow, which was indescribably beautiful and moving.

Long Ming bent down and approached her with his angular handsome face. Perhaps she felt his breath. The woman slowly opened her thick eyelashes and looked at the handsome face so close. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, "What are you doing?" Just come to rest?"

"Don't you want to sleep here?"

"I misunderstood you. I'll make it up to you." She didn't know if she was awake or not fully awake. Her voice was soft and hoarse that she rarely usually had, and it was indescribably charming. "If you don't like it, I'll go back to the guest room." ”

Before he finished speaking, "You are not allowed to reply."

After a while, Long Ming went to the bathroom to take a bath.

Returning to bed, looking at the woman who could barely keep his eyelids open but was still waiting for him, a warm current surged through his heart.

He held her in his arms, "I said, no matter what happens, you must believe me."

Sakura leaned in his arms, smelling his fresh breath after bathing, and hummed in a hoarse voice.

Although the two have known each other for many years, they have spent very little time together.

They still need to get along with each other. After experiencing two misunderstandings about him, she will try her best to trust and tolerate him in the future.

…

a week later.

Earl's Palace.

The lights here are bright and lively tonight.

After the count and his wife returned home, they sent invitation letters to the royal family members, elders, and famous nobles. Tonight they will hold a grand and grand banquet at the Earl's Mansion, not only because they are returning to the country to settle down, but there is also an important thing to announce.

But they did not disclose this important matter to the outside world.

No one knew what the count and his wife were going to announce, so tonight's banquet was still shrouded in mystery.

Luxury cars were parked one after another at the entrance of the Earl's Mansion. From the gate to the manor villa, there was a red carpet, the musical fountain kept changing with the music, and the surrounding green plants and flowers were in full bloom. It was so beautiful.

Xiaoying had moved into the Earl's Mansion three days in advance. Although Long Ming was reluctant to let her out, as the daughter of the Earl's Mansion, she still had to learn some etiquette and rules in advance.

The count and his wife prepared a boudoir for Sakura, which was luxurious and dreamy.

The costume designer came over in the afternoon to put on makeup and change clothes for Sakura in preparation for the evening banquet.

Long Mei only learned two days ago that Long Ming asked her to come back to attend tonight's feast. She arrived at the Earl's Mansion early.

Long Mei was wearing a water-pink one-shoulder dress today. Her skin was as radiant as suet, and her long hair was spread over her shoulders. She was pure and yet feminine.

After Long Mei changed into her dress and put on her makeup, she sat and watched Sakura put on her makeup.

"Sister-in-law, you will surely amaze everyone tonight."

Sakura patted her heart, she was still a little nervous about tonight's grand feast. After all, the people who came to the banquet were all famous people. She appeared as the daughter of the Earl's Palace. I wonder what the clan members and elders who had seen her background would think.

But Long Ming was right, she had to take this step. After tonight, she will be Long Ying of the Earl's Mansion, no longer the No. 21 she once was.

The moment Xiaoying put on her makeup and stood up, Long Mei's eyes showed surprise.

"No wonder my brother has a soft spot for you. Sister-in-law, when you dress up, you really look stunning!"

The makeup artists and costume designers also praised Sakura.

Sakura has long been immune to her own appearance. If it weren't for the fact that her appearance could be changed and she could master various styles, Barr wouldn't have focused on training her.

Once upon a time, she hated this face.

Long Mei pulled Xiaoying to the window. From here, they could see the banquet hall downstairs.

Guests have arrived in droves, all dressed up and elegant.

Soon, there was a noise in the hall.

Xiaoying and Long Mei saw the door of the banquet hall open, and a tall and straight figure walked in among the stars and the moon.

It's Long Ming.

Long Ming was wearing a hand-tailored black suit. He was tall and straight. The trousers were ironed without a trace of wrinkles and wrapped around his two proud long legs. He put one hand in his trouser pocket and walked steadily and powerfully.
