Chapter 1069: Why Were You So Careless
Leng Hao walked up the stairs. He stood in front of Ye Xiaotao and looked at her pale face. He asked in a low voice, “Are you not feeling well?”
The man’s greeting made Ye Xiaotao want to cry. She didn’t care how Bai Lingyun treated her. She didn’t want to live in the eyes of others. She only cared about Leng Hao’s attitude.
“I’m great…” she carefully peeked at the man with her watery eyes. “Honey, Are you…unhappy with me coming to Hong Kong?”
Leng Hao frowned. “Hong Kong is very chaotic now. You’re a girl, you shouldn’t run around carelessly…”
“Honey,” Ye Xiaotao grabbed his little finger with her fair hand. She shook it coquettishly. “Honey, cause I miss you.”
Ye Xiaotao deliberately said in a cute and flirty manner. Leng Hao got goosebumps when he heard her, and the expression on his handsome face immediately softened. He raised his hand and patted her head, “Since you’re here, you can stay in this place. I’ll be very busy, so I won’t have time to keep you company. You have to be a good girl. Don’t go out and cause trouble for me.”
Ye Xiaotao felt that it was unfair that Leng Hao thought that all she was capable of was to cause trouble.
“Got it.” Ye Xiaotao nodded.
“I need to go to the study room to deal with some matters first. You can go to your room.” Leng Hao turned around and walked towards the study room after saying that.
Ye Xiaotao wanted to stop him, but she didn’t say anything. He was already very busy. Ye Xiaotao wanted to be a virtuous, considerate, and obedient wife. But…
Bai Lingyun was in the study room. What matters did he and Bai Lingyun have to deal with?
Shouldn’t he have given Ye Xiaotao an explanation as to why he brought Bai Lingyun home?
They had already broken up. It was best if they weren’t even friends, but Leng Hao seemed to be in touch with Bai Lingyun quite frequently.
Ye Xiaotao’s mind was a mess. She knew that she was jealous, madly jealous.
Ye Xiaotao didn’t like to be jealous. The feeling of jealousy could easily go out of control.
She turned around and walked towards her room, but the maid stopped her. “Miss, you really can’t enter this room again.”
“Didn’t you hear what the young master said to me just now? I’m the young Madam,” Ye Xiaotao said, blinking her pretty eyes.
“Umm…” the maid was in a difficult position. The young master didn’t officially announce Ye Xiaotao’s identity. As maids, they only listened to the owner of the mansion, so the maid braced herself and said, “Even if you’re the young madam, you can’t enter this room.”
Ye Xiaotao widened her eyes. “What the h*ll?”
The servant did not dare to speak.
Ye Xiaotao then became suspicious. Could it be that the room was not prepared for her?
“Then what about the young master’s room? I can enter the young master’s room, right?” Ye Xiaotao did not want to make things difficult for the maid, so she took a step back.
“Umm…” the maid didn’t want to answer the question.
Ye Xiaotao rolled her eyes.
At this time, a maid came upstairs with two cups of coffee. Ye Xiaotao’s eyes lit up, and she quickly walked over and snatched the coffee from the maid coming up the stairs. “Are you taking them to the study room? I’ll do it for you.”
“No… Hey!”
Ye Xiaotao had already reached the door of the study room. She lifted her hand and knocked on the door. She really wanted to know what Leng Hao and Bai Lingyun were doing inside.
“Come in.” Leng Hao said.
Ye Xiaotao pushed the door open and entered. She immediately saw the two people at the desk.
Bai Lingyun sat in the black leather office chair. She was typing quickly on the keyboard. Leng Hao stood beside her. One of his big palms was on the back of the chair Bai Lingyun sat in. His other hand held a document and placed it in front of Bai Lingyun. The two of them spoke in a low voice. They were very focused.
Ye Xiaotao’s heart was struck hard. She felt hurt by what she saw.
Ye Xiaotao was at Leng Hao’s home. But Bai Lingyun looked like the mistress of the house. Bai Lingyun looked even more like Leng Hao’s wife. It was even more obvious when Leng Hao stood while Bai Lingyun sat by the desk.
Details in life often reflected the core of the problem. Because the details in life weren’t pretentious.
Ye Xiaotao walked in and placed the coffee on the coffee table in front of the sofa. “The coffee is ready.”
No one paid attention to her. Leng Hao was still talking to Bai Lingyun, completely unaware of Ye Xiaotao’s entrance.
Ye Xiaotao saw the two maids standing by the door out of the corner of her eyes. Because she had barged in without permission, the two maids were guarding outside in fear. Seeing Ye Xiaotao’s condition, the two maids whispered to each other with their hands over their mouths.
Ye Xiaotao felt very embarrassed. She could guess what the maids were talking about. Ye Xiaotao had repeatedly emphasized that she was their young madam, but the young master was with Bai Lingyun.
Leng Hao and Bai Lingyun had been together for ten years. The maids definitely knew Bai Lingyun’s identity.
Ye Xiaotao was like a joke.
Ye Xiaotao looked down in loneliness. She wanted to turn around and leave, but her pride stopped her from doing that. An idea flashed through her mind. She spilled the coffee on the back of her hand and made a soft cry of pain.
Leng Hao and Bai Lingyun both looked up.
Bai Lingyun knew that it was Ye Xiaotao who came in with the coffee, but she chose to ignore her. In her opinion, Ye Xiaotao was a third party. Ye Xiaotao was the one who ruined the ten-year relationship between her and Leng Hao.
She looked down on Ye Xiaotao. How could this girl who relied on sex to get to the top replace the ten-year relationship between her and Leng Hao?
Leng Hao didn’t notice Ye Xiaotao at all. Bai Lingyun was secretly happy at that fact. Bai Lingyun thought of how the Ye Xiaotao was asking for humiliation.
Bai Lingyun secretly mocked how poor Ye Xiaotao’s acting was when she noticed that she spilled coffee on herself. Bai Lingyun smirked, “Hao, we are discussing important matters. Why did Miss Ye barge in? Isn’t it rude…”
Before she could finish, the man beside her had already left. The man walked to Ye Xiaotao and grabbed her burned hand, “Why were you so careless? Your hand is burning red.”
After saying that, Leng Hao lowered his eyes and blew air on her hand.
Bai Lingyun was shocked by Leng Hao’s reaction. She looked at Leng Hao’s handsome face. Leng Hao looked worried.
Did Leng Hao… fell in love with Ye Xiaotao?
Impossible!
Ye Xiaotao was happy. Ye Xiaotao actually feared pain very much. But when he held her burned hand and blew on it, all the pain left.
Ye Xiaotao was right that Leng Hao was now in love with her!
“Didn’t I tell you to go to your room? Why are you delivering coffee?” Leng Hao’s tone was quite displeased.
“But, I don’t know which room to go to.” Ye Xiaotao still felt wronged when she said that.
“Whichever room you want to go to. You can choose whichever room you like. When did you become so obedient to ask me about such a small matter?” Leng Hao replied with an unpleasant tone.
The two maids by the door were shocked when they saw their young master’s reaction. They looked at Ye Xiaotao in fear, afraid that Ye Xiaotao would complain to the young master about them.
Ye Xiaotao didn’t say anything. She smiled sweetly and said, “Okay.”
“The back of my hand is still very red. We need to rinse them under cold water. Someone go get the ointment cream!” Leng Hao said as he held Ye Xiaotao’s little hand. They then walked towards the door.
