Chapter 1071: Silly Little Girl
Ye Xiaotao’s face turned pale. She took two steps back and shook her head, “I don’t know… I don’t know… How did my third brother… Sister Leng… how did things come to this?”
Bai Lingyun felt even more disgusted by Ye Xiaotao’s reaction. Bai Lingyun lifted her chin arrogantly, “Oh right, Miss Ye, there’s one more thing I forgot to tell you.”
“What?”
“The slippers on your feet. Hao bought them for me”
Ye Xiaotao was shocked.
“Also, Hao decorated that room for me about six months ago. Every single thing in there is evidence of our ten years of love. But I don’t want the room or the slippers anymore. You can have them.”
Bai Lingyun turned around and left proudly.
Leng Hao took his call in the living room downstairs. After he was done, he motioned to go back upstairs. At that time, Bai Lingyun happened to be walking down the stairs.
Bai Lingyun’s expression was very unpleasant. “See you tomorrow.”
Leng Hao looked at the sky outside. “It’s very late now. I’ll get the driver to send you back.”
Bai Lingyun wanted him to ask her to stay for the night. Therefore, Leng Hao’s actual response made Bai Lingyun furious. “Leng Hao, are you so eager for me to leave? You wasted my time and effort for your sister!”
Leng Hao frowned as he looked at the hysterical woman in front of him. He placed one hand in his pocket and said, “Lingyun, I’m really grateful to you for all that you’ve done. I won’t burden you anymore. I will do the rest by myself…”
“Leng Hao!” Bai Lingyun interrupted Leng Hao with a scream.
Leng Hao’s frown deepened. He glanced upstairs and said in a low voice, “I don’t want to argue with you, and I don’t want to wake anyone up…”
“Wake anyone up? Are you talking about Ye Xiaotao?” Bai Lingyun pointed upstairs with teary eyes.
Leng Hao’s handsome features were as still as water. He didn’t respond.
“Ha, haha…” Bai Lingyun laughed, “You fell in love with her? Leng Hao, when did your taste become so poor? She spilled coffee on her hand deliberately and lied about her stomachache. Don’t tell me that you were fooled. We still don’t know where Zhiyuan is and are anxiously trying to figure that out. But all she does is lie and do as she wants. She doesn’t deserve your love.”
Leng Hao showed a sign of displeasure. He said coldly, “She’s unaware of the situation.”
“Can that be her excuse? Can it, Leng Hao? Don’t you think you’re too cruel to me? You broke up with me over the phone. When I was heartbroken and in pain, you married someone else. Now you’re protecting her? Who is she? She destroyed our love. She is the one who interfered in our relationship. She is a thief and robber…”
“Enough!” Leng Hao interrupted Bai Lingyun. He looked at her sadly. “Lingyun, it is not her fault. We weren’t working out. I was exhausted by our relationship.”
“Exhausted? Haha, I don’t believe you. I don’t believe that our ten years of relationship is nothing compared to your six months with her. Leng Hao, you still love me, don’t you?” Bai Lingyun shook Leng Hao’s arm emotionally.
Leng Hao moved Bai Lingyun’s hand from his arms with difficulty. “I’m sorry, I’m married.”
Bai Lingyun took a step back. She burst into tears and sobbed, “Leng Hao, why are you so cruel to me? You knew that Ye Xiaotao was pretending, but you went along with it and doted her. You never treated me that way. When we were dating, you would leave me without hesitation after a phone call. One time, I accidentally read your documents, and you became furious with me. You said that it was confidential. You weren’t gentle with me at all. You had no common sense. So, I argued with you, but all you said was that you don’t want to argue with me. Now you are telling me that our relationship exhausted you.
Leng Hao, I hate you!”
Bai Lingyun ran out crying.
Leng Hao stood still for a long time. It’d be a lie to say that he wasn’t a little sad. The ten years he spent with Bai Lingyun were more than just a relationship. It was also his youth.
Leng Hao was responsible for Bai Lingyun’s hysterical response. Maybe he really didn’t know how to love back when they were dating.
It’s no use to try and figure out whose fault it was. The past was in the past.
The past went with the wind.
Leng Hao walked upstairs, pushed open a door, and walked in. As soon as he stepped in, a soft and fragrant body rushed into his arms. He quickly held her and asked, “What’s wrong?”
He held the small face in his arms. When he touched it, he felt her tears.
“Why are you crying?” He quickly released her from his embrace and held her small face with both hands. “Tell me!”
Ye Xiaotao’s face was covered with sparkling tears. She choked, “I’m sorry, I’m really… really sorry, my third brother…”
Leng Hao wiped away her tears with his thumbs. Ye Xiaotao learned of the situation. Bai Lingyun probably told her.
“Ye Ziyi is Ye Ziyi, and you are you. You don’t have to apologize for his mistake.”
“But…”
“No buts!”
Ye Xiaotao snuggled back into his warm embrace. She stretched out her slender arms and hugged his muscular waist tightly. “My daddy…”
Leng Hao caressed her silky hair. “Your daddy’s actions are understandable. People protect their own interests. The Ye family must never have anything to do with Scorpion. Your daddy is also in a difficult position!”
Ye Xiaotao did not know what to say after she heard what Leng Hao said. She sniffed and looked at him tenderly, “What about sister Leng? Did you find her? I seem to have interrupted your research. I actually spilled the coffee on myself. My stomach doesn’t hurt either. It’s okay. you can go back to work. I’ll leave tomorrow. Or I can go back now!”
Ye Xiaotao broke away from his embrace and turned around to get her luggage.
“Silly little girl.” Leng Hao took a step forward and hugged her from behind. He closed his eyes and kissed her hair. “Stay with me.”
Ye Xiaotao’s heart skipped a beat, and then her heart rate accelerated. Her pale face blushed red. However, she was still very worried and felt guilty. “Sister Leng…”
“There’s no news of Zhiyuan at the moment, but I won’t give up on the search. If we think about it, Ye Ziyi likes Zhiyuan. So, he would never hurt her even if he took her away. It’s only a matter of time before we find them.”
Ye Xiaotao was simple-minded. She didn’t understand the complicated relationships. But since Leng Hao said so, she felt reassured.
She turned around and stood on her tiptoes. Then Ye Xiaotao kissed Leng Hao’s handsome face. “Honey, before we find sister Leng, I will definitely treat you well. I will make it up to you.”
This silly girl was always carrying other people’s burdens.
Leng Hao reached out and hugged her. He rubbed his jaw against her soft forehead. He sighed in satisfaction. “Ye Xiaotao, remember what you said.”
“Mmm, I will. Honey, I love you!”
Leng Hao’s expression was full of love and tenderness. He bent down and carried her in his arms. “You should go to sleep first. I will read some documents as you sleep.”
