Long Ling snapped after hearing that, her face cold as she gripped Violet’s hand: “I don’t want you to wipe it; you don’t wipe it well at all.”
Violet glanced at her wrist, which Long Ling was tightly holding, a dense, tingling pain rising within her.
How could she not wipe it well? Little Strawberry Dragon had never even let her apply sunscreen before.
She had said she would take care of Long Ling’s feelings, and she would do these small things in the future.
Violet’s slender hand turned to grasp Long Ling’s wrist, gently stroking it, her tone soft: “Then teach me, and I’ll learn. I’ll take care of you like this from now on.”
Her body leaned closer involuntarily, Long Ling almost pressed against the sink.
Long Ling twisted her face away, lowering her head to wring out the towel that Violet had wet: “I don’t need you to take care of me.”
She had just wrung the towel out and folded it halfway when Violet hugged her again.
Violet’s enchanting eyes stared at her cheek, her slender hand caressing her waist.
Long Ling was dressed lightly, only wearing a thin coat, and Violet’s soft curves pressed against her, making the full contours very noticeable.
Violet used to like pressing her against her chest—a trick of the Great Evil Dragon.
Perhaps because it had been so long since she had been exposed to Omega pheromones, Long Ling’s body uncontrollably felt hot.
The inhibitor she had just injected seemed to have failed, and Violet’s rose scent drilled into her nostrils, causing her canines to peek out.
[Little Strawberry Dragon’s lips look so soft today; I want to kiss Little Strawberry Dragon.]
This was the restroom; who wanted to kiss Violet here!
She didn’t want to hear Violet’s thoughts anymore!
Suddenly, someone passed by behind her, and Long Ling quickly pushed Violet away.
The unfamiliar Omega looked at them several times, thinking they were doing something inappropriate, and quickly washed her hands and left.
Long Ling gave Violet a warning look, picking up her bag: “Let go; I’m leaving.”
Seeing Long Ling’s crystal dragon horns emerge, Violet thought about her going out and being with other Omegas, feeling very dissatisfied in her heart.
She said resentfully: “You’re not allowed to leave me.”
Blocked by her, Long Ling’s tone also became unkind: “Don’t you have a lot of official duties to do? Why are you bothering me again? We’ve already broken up!”
Violet’s face was a little pale, her knuckles clenching until they were white: “The official duties are already finished. You can’t break up with me now, and you won’t be able to in the future either!”
If she didn’t want to, she didn’t want to.
Did this world revolve around Violet?
Long Ling didn’t want to follow Violet’s wishes at all: “You always think that if you want something, everyone else has to give it to you. You’re really domineering and unreasonable!”
Violet thought about Long Ling being with other Omegas, playing on the beach, radiant and full of energy.
Her heart felt as if it was blocked and aching.
If she didn’t control Long Ling, letting her be with other Omegas, could she do that?
She couldn’t do that at all.
She could concede on everything else, but she couldn’t let Long Ling be with someone else.
Every second was torture for her.
Violet’s dark gold eyes turned blood red, her voice low and insistent: “I just want you, okay? Don’t be with other Omegas, please? I said I would change.”
Long Ling felt that net of love in name but control in reality spreading over her again.
Violet’s love was so heavy and domineering, always wanting to bind her tightly by her side.
Long Ling didn’t want to be restricted by her anymore, her tone growing colder: “But I don’t want you. Who I like in the future, who I’m with, has nothing to do with you. Please move aside, Duchess.”
Violet’s blood-red eyes filled with tears, completely hurt by Long Ling’s words.
Long Ling clenched her fists, turned, and left, not looking back at Violet.
In the next second, she was pushed against the wall by Violet, the woman’s burning lips kissing hers, devouring her breath inch by inch.
Her soft lips were forcefully pressed, and the tip of her scarlet tongue lightly swept between her lips, skillfully prying open her teeth.
The veins in Long Ling’s arms bulged, but Violet’s slender hand gently stroked her arm, then her back.
The cool temperature stimulated her skin, causing tiny shivers, and her pale fingertips teased back and forth, igniting sparks.
Long Ling looked at the tears in Violet’s blood-red eyes, her scarlet tongue being stirred and sucked into the other’s mouth.
Violet’s breathing was suppressed and rapid, as if she wanted to melt them together.
“Long Ling.”
Suddenly, a slightly distorted exclamation came from the side, that of Mo Dai.
Long Ling panicked, immediately pushing Violet away.
Her cheeks were red and hot, stained with some of Violet’s lipstick, making the whole dragon look ripe.
Mo Dai had waited for a long time, and when Long Ling went to the restroom and hadn’t come back for a while, she was worried that Long Ling had been tricked away by some dragon.
Following the direction Long Ling had left, she hadn’t expected to see her being pinned against the wall and kissed as soon as she approached.
This was too outrageous.
Not long after she left, Duchess Violet had followed!
Seeing that Mo Dai wanted to speak, Long Ling quickly said, “Mom, let’s go out first.”
Violet’s eyes were red, not wanting to be seen by any dragon other than Long Ling.
Her long, black curls hid her delicate features as she looked out the window.
After Mo Dai left with Long Ling, she couldn’t help but ask, “Why is Violet here? Was she forcing you just now?”
Long Ling was a little embarrassed: “Maybe she just happened to be passing by. Don’t worry about her, Mom, let’s go back.”
Mo Dai’s lips twitched.
She somehow felt that Violet had come specifically to kiss her daughter.
However, when she came over, she glanced around, and Violet hadn’t brought any troops with her, so she probably wasn’t going to immediately seize Long Ling.
“You still have to be careful. If Mom hadn’t arrived in time, who knows what she might have done to you. The consequences would have been unimaginable.”
Long Ling pressed the back of her hand to her cheek, nodding: “I know.”
After Long Ling left, Violet summoned her secretary: “Find someone to investigate what dragons have been in contact with Long Ling today.”
The secretary bowed and said: “Yes.”
The secretary quickly investigated the other party’s background.
When Mrs. Rosalind was young, she first married a viscount and gave birth to her eldest daughter, Norris.
Later, she remarried with Norris, marrying the wealthy merchant Odal, and gave birth to two daughters.
The youngest daughter, Annie, was the Omega who played beach volleyball with Long Ling today.
Mrs. Rosalind’s second daughter and the eldest daughter she brought from her previous marriage were fighting over the family fortune, fiercely battling each other.
Mrs. Rosalind had brought her youngest daughter here to relax, also intending to find a suitable Alpha for her youngest daughter.
She had some shares, and if her youngest daughter got married, she could put some of her assets in her youngest daughter’s name, ensuring her a life of ease, which was why Mo Dai and Mrs. Rosalind had connected.
Mo Dai had been in business for many years and had many assets.
She and Rosalind were long-time friends and often did business together, making it akin to a business marriage.
Knowing each other well, even if they married their youngest daughter to Long Ling, they wouldn’t have to worry about their youngest daughter’s assets being diluted.
Moreover, out of respect for Rosalind, Mo Dai would certainly not be a terrible mother-in-law in the future.
After Violet finished reading the intelligence her secretary had gathered, a trace of anger appeared on her beautiful face.
These two dragons’ calculations were about to burst in her face.
Long Ling followed Mo Dai back to the beach, where Annie had already arranged a fruit platter and bought some seaside specialties, including shellfish like clams, some fiery red crabs, and some squid, exuding a rich marine flavor.
When Long Ling was at Ilidari Estate, she had gone with Violet to the lake to catch salmon with gill nets and had also caught some green crabs, but she had never seen such big crabs, bigger than her head.
Holding the already cooked crab claw meat in both hands, Long Ling realized for the first time that crab meat could be eaten like steamed bread.
Dipped in some local sauce, it had a very chewy texture and a faint sweetness.
After eating these delicious foods, Long Ling and her family lay on the beach chairs, enjoying the sun.
After resting for a while, Annie, lying on the beach chair next to her, turned over and suggested, “Long Ling-jie jie, I’ve rested almost enough. Let’s go play beach volleyball again later.”
Mrs. Rosalind reminded her after hearing that her daughter only knew how to play, “Don’t bother your Long Ling-jie jie. Ask her if she has rested well before playing with her.”
Long Ling spoke up for Annie, “It’s okay, I’m not tired. I actually like playing volleyball.”
Seeing that Long Ling was on her side, Annie snorted at Rosalind: “I knew it. Long Ling-jie jie is so gentle, she’ll definitely play with me.”
Mrs. Rosalind looked helpless, and Mo Dai pulled Rosalind aside, saying, “It’s a child’s matter; let’s not worry about it.”
In the afternoon, while Long Ling and Annie were playing volleyball, Rosalind suddenly received a message from home, saying that something had happened to the family business, and she had to rush back ahead of schedule.
But Annie hadn’t played enough, so Rosalind could only ask Mo Dai to take care of her daughter for a while.
Mo Dai readily agreed, telling Rosalind to hurry back and forth.
That evening, the city lord of Freedom City held a banquet, which many merchants and politicians who came to trade there would attend.
Mo Dai also received an invitation and brought Long Ling and Annie to broaden their horizons.
It wasn’t easy for her daughter to return to her side, so she wanted all her business partners to get to know her so that if Long Ling’s tavern needed to expand in the future, she might be able to use other people’s help sooner or later.
“This is Mrs. Smith, who opened a wizard guild in the most prosperous areas of every continent. This is my daughter Long Ling, and next to her is Mrs. Rosalind’s youngest daughter, Annie.”
“Your daughter is as beautiful as you. Is she also an Omega?”
“No, she’s an Alpha. She just started working with me this year, and she’ll be inheriting my business in the future.”
Mo Dai wore an elegant, vintage gown, and smiled as she clinked glasses with Mrs. Smith, a beautiful sight among the crowd, chatting eloquently with various wealthy merchants while holding a glass of red wine.
Long Ling stood next to her, resembling Mo Dai by seventy percent, but while Mo Dai looked like a shrewd businesswoman, Long Ling looked more youthful.
The two mothers and daughters looked very pleasing to the eye standing together.
At the banquet, cups clinked, and Long Ling accompanied her mother in meeting many people.
She didn’t know how many glasses of wine she had drunk.
Her memory was usually very good, remembering clearly the characteristics and preferences of each person that Mo Dai had pointed out, but as she drank more and more, she gradually got tipsy.
Annie pulled her to find an empty seat to sit down, and thoughtfully handed her a glass of ice water that she didn’t know where she had found: “Long Ling-jie jie, are you okay? Do you want to drink some ice water?”
Long Ling just took a couple of sips, feeling a little better, and couldn’t help but smile slightly at Annie: “Thank you.”
Annie was mesmerized by Long Ling’s smile and was about to peel an orange for Long Ling-jie jie to eat.
Suddenly, a commotion arose at the banquet, and the city lord of Freedom City appeared, accompanied by a woman of outstanding temperament.
After the city lord respectfully introduced Violet’s identity, the merchants scrambled to show their enthusiasm.
“Duchess Violet, we are merchants from your territory, thank you for the tax breaks you have granted over the years.”
“Your Grace, I didn’t expect to see you here. You look even more majestic than before.”
When Long Ling was half-drunk, she heard the flattering voices about Violet and even thought she was having a dream.
How could Violet be everywhere?
Seeing Long Ling’s face flushed from drinking, Mo Dai approached her and told her to quickly avoid Violet.
Long Ling left the banquet and was led by a waiter to the garden, telling her to rest on a lounge chair in the garden for a while.
Annie followed Long Ling, and seeing that she looked uncomfortable, she found a fan to fan Long Ling.
Long Ling couldn’t help but support her forehead, falling into a deep sleep.
Violet had originally intended to come here directly to see Long Ling and was prepared to announce publicly in front of everyone after the ball that Long Ling was still her fiancée, completely ruining Mo Dai’s plans.
But after she finished dealing with these nobodies, she suddenly realized that the Little Strawberry Dragon, who had been in the corner, was gone.
