Chapter 1676: Father And Daughter Meeting
Hearing that Wan Bao was missing, Xiao Ying’s heart tightened.
The nanny was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes. She blamed herself. “It’s all my fault. I should have waited for Miss Ying to come back before going to the washroom…”
Xiao Ying pursed her lips tightly, suppressing the panic in her heart and comforted the nanny. “You didn’t want this to happen either. Don’t blame yourself.”
Not daring to delay any longer, Xiao Ying walked toward the lobby of the restaurant.
She wanted to check the CCTV, but the restaurant manager said that the CCTV could not be checked unless Xiao Ying called the police and asked them to come and check it.
Xiao Ying and the nanny looked around again. A waiter had seen a child leaving the restaurant and the two of them hurriedly went out to look for her.
…
Wan Bao had indeed left the restaurant, but she stood outside for a while and came in again when she did not see her mother.
However, she was still too young. After entering the restaurant, she got lost and could not find the private room her mother had booked.
Wan Bao turned left and right. She could not find a private room or her mother, so she decided to ask for help.
Turning down a corridor, she saw a tall man leaning against the wall, holding his phone with his large hand and talking on the phone.
Wan Bao realized that the person was tall, handsome, and very cool!
Wan Bao had been bold since she was young and was not afraid of strangers. She ran over with her chubby legs.
Long Ming, who was on the phone, did not notice the little one beside him until his pants were tugged at gently.
He looked down and a small and cute figure appeared in his deep and cold eyes.
The little girl was wearing a fluffy pink dress. Her long black hair was tied into two braids in front of her and she was wearing a pink Mickey Mouse headband.
The moment Long Ming looked down, the little girl also looked up. “Uncle… can you call my Mommy with your phone?”
The little girl’s voice was soft and childish. Her pink face looked cute and adorable.
Long Ming stared at the girl and found that she looked a little familiar.
He felt like she had seen him somewhere before.
Within a few seconds, he remembered that time he followed Xiao Ying to the hospital and saw her and Tang En carrying a little girl.
Although he had been a little far away at that time and could not see the little girl’s appearance clearly, he had still seen the rough outline of the little girl.
Now, looking at her up close, he found that the little girl looked extremely like Xiao Ying, like a little girl that had walked out from a painting.
What did she say just now? She wanted to call her mommy?
After ending the call with the person on the other end, Long Ming crouched down and stared at the little girl with his deep eyes. “Where’s your mommy?”
“Mommy went out. I’m lost and can’t find her.” Wan Bao blinked his big and beautiful eyes, his pink lips pouting slightly. “Mommy must be very anxious…”
Long Ming led the girl to the empty room opposite and asked the service staff to bring dessert over. “Do you want to eat?”
Wan Bao stuck out her tongue and licked her pink lips. She nodded then shook her head.
Mommy said before that she could not eat things given by an unknown uncle.
However, this uncle’s dessert looked so delicious!
Seeing that Wan Bao was slightly guarded against him, a faint smile appeared on Long Ming’s lips.
Xiao Ying had taught her daughter well.
She knew how to guard against strangers!
Long Ming took out his phone and tapped on the screen.
“Is this your mommy?” He opened a photo of Xiao Ying.
When Wan Bao saw her mommy’s photo appearing in this strange uncle’s phone, she was a little surprised. She blinked her long eyelashes. “Uncle, why do you have my mommy’s photo?”
“I’m friends with your mommy.”
The chubby hand cupped his face and he tilted his head, asking, “Uncle, you have my mommy’s photo. Do you want to woo my mommy?”
Wan Bao said proudly, “My mommy is like a fairy and many uncles like her. However, I have a Papa now. My Papa is very handsome and he’s very nice to Mommy and me…”
Long Ming’s eyes darkened as he stared at the pretty and cute Wan Bao. “What’s your name?”
Wan Bao looked at the delicious dessert on the table and smacked her lips. “Can I tell you after I eat a little?”
Long Ming did not like children and thought that children were troublesome. However, facing such a beautiful and soft little cutie in front of him, his cold heart softened unconsciously. “Eat!”
“Woohoo.” Wan Bao took the spoon and ate the dessert happily.
However, as she ate, she seemed to have thought of something and looked at Long Ming with her head tilted. “Uncle, you still haven’t called my mommy!”
“Finish it first.”
…
Xiao Ying looked around outside but still could not find Wan Bao.
Unfortunately, she had brought Wan Bao out today without giving her a phone or watch.
Xiao Ying returned to the restaurant.
She asked to see the CCTV again but the manager still said the same thing.
It had been almost an hour and Xiao Ying was extremely anxious that she had not found Wan Bao.
She did not look for the manager anymore. She walked around the restaurant and found the surveillance room.
She walked in, knocked out the security officer on duty and started to search through the files.
After a few minutes, Xiao Ying found traces of Wan Bao.
However…
Was she seeing things?
Wan Bao had been taken away by Long Ming!
Xiao Ying looked at the scene in the surveillance camera and her mind went blank.
Had Long Ming discovered something?
No, it was impossible!
After Wan Bao was born, because she was weak, she looked a few months younger than a normal child. In addition, when she and Tang En registered her, she was three months younger than her actual age.
Even if Long Ming went to investigate, he would not be able to find out what relationship Wan Bao had with him unless he did a paternity test.
This was also why Xiao Ying dared to bring Wan Bao over on her business trip.
Long Ming understood her past and always thought that she had had countless men besides him.
Just based on this alone, he would not suspect that Wan Bao was related to him.
But why had he left with Wan Bao without even calling her?
Xiao Ying walked out of the surveillance room and found the nanny who was crying anxiously. “I know where Wan Bao went. Go back to the villa first. I’ll bring Wan Bao back later.”
Xiao Ying hailed a taxi with the nanny. After the nanny left, she got into a taxi as well.
Outside the palace, Xiao Ying called Long Ming.
The call went through, but no one answered.
Xiao Ying furrowed her eyebrows. What was Long Ming doing?
She was about to call him again when Long Ming’s butler came over. “Miss Ying, our King asked me to pick you up.”
Xiao Ying followed the butler to Long Ming’s bedroom.
There was a large garden behind the bedroom and there were many butterflies in the garden. Wan Bao was chasing after the butterflies happily.
Xiao Ying walked over and called out, “Wan Bao!”
Wan Bao turned back and saw Xiao Ying. She ran toward her. “Mommy!”
