“Hao, you know me. The child is innocent. I would never curse your child. Miss Ye, on the other hand, lied previously to you about a stomachache so that you would stay with her. She always uses the child as an excuse.” Bai Lingyun looked at Leng Hao with teary eyes.
Leng Hao’s gaze was deep and cold. He pursed his thin lips and looked at Ye Xiaotao.
Ye Xiaotao’s heart ached. Last time, she did lie and say that her stomach hurt. But it was because she was really afraid that Leng Hao would stay with Bai Lingyun instead. Ye Xiaotao wanted to keep Leng Hao by her side.
Now that she thought about it, she felt very guilty. How could she lie saying that her stomach hurt?
Bai Lingyun was still in Leng Hao’s arms. And he had no intention of pushing her away. Ye Xiaotao was very unhappy about how the two are standing in front of her. She really wanted to go up and separate the two of them.
“I didn’t. She’s lying!” Ye Xiaotao straightened her slender back and explained logically, “This morning, I was hit by a tricycle at school. Then the doctor rushed over to check my condition. That’s when news of my pregnancy was made public. Then, the principal told me… that I’m temporarily suspended…”
The tip of Ye Xiaotao’s nose turned red as she spoke. She clutched the clothes in front of her stomach tightly in her small fists. “All of this was her doing. She set me up. I asked to talk with her. She called me a sl*t and even cursed our child…”
“That’s true, I can testify to everything that happened at school.” Mo Zhengyu glanced at Bai Lingyun and then looked at Leng Hao, “I don’t know what they talked about in the coffee shop, but I believe in Xiaotao. Since Xiaotao splashed coffee on her, she must have deserved it!”
“You!” Bai Lingyun wanted to refute, but she quickly thought of something else and said, “Who are you? What is your relationship with Ye Xiaotao? Why do you trust her so unconditionally?”
Ye Xiaotao knew that Bai Lingyun had set another trap for her to fall into. Bai Lingyun wanted to slander her and senior Mo to change the topic. This woman’s level of deceit was uncanny.
“He is my senior!” Ye Xiaotao replied righteously.
“Oh, so he is your senior. Seeing that you two are so close, I would think that you two are in a relationship.”
Ye Xiaotao frowned.
“Enough!” Leng Hao said.
Bai Lingyun knew Leng Hao. He was angry now because what she had just said crossed his line. Bai Lingyun deliberately wanted to ache Leng Hao’s heart.
“Hao…”
Leng Hao pushed Bai Lingyun away. “Ah Chen will drive you back.”
Bai Lingyun froze. She was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood. Leng Hao made her leave?
“Miss Bai, this way please,” Ah Chen stepped forward and said politely.
“Hao, I…” Bai Lingyun wanted to talk to him, but the man’s gaze was on Ye Xiaotao.
Bai Lingyun’s eyes flashed with deep jealousy. Since when did she lose all of his attention?
Bai Lingyun did not believe it. She was unwilling to accept it. They had been together for a whole decade.
“Come here!” Leng Hao said in a low and unhappy voice. He slowly extended his right hand to Ye Xiaotao.
Ye Xiaotao’s nose became even redder. She walked forward.
“Xiaotao!” Mo Zhengyu grabbed her delicate arm. He looked at Leng Hao worriedly. “Xiaotao fell today, and she doesn’t look well. As her husband, you have to believe and protect her. Don’t make her suffer.”
Leng Hao immediately frowned and emitted a dangerous aura. He strode forward and held Ye Xiaotao’s soft little hand, then pulled her into his arms with force.
He glanced at Mo Zhengyu and said, “You’d better not touch her, she’s mine. There will be no next time!”
Leng Hao held Ye Xiaotao’s hand and walked away.
Mo Zhengyu, who was left on the spot, had a melancholic look on his face. From the moment Ye Xiaotao called Leng Hao “Honey,” he knew that Ye Xiaotao belonged to someone else now. The bright moon in his heart belonged to someone else now.
Bai Lingyun was also frozen on the spot. Leng Hao did not look at her a second time. She watched as the two left the cafe while digging her nails deep into her palms.
The two of them got into the Lincoln. Leng Hao sat in the driver’s seat. He leaned over to fasten Ye Xiaotao’s seatbelt.
Ye Xiaotao looked at his focused expression. Although his expression was unpleasant, her heart felt warm. “Honey,” She shook his sleeve, “Honey, do you believe me? I’m telling the truth. Two days ago, I received a weird text message. All the text said was “I’m back…” It was clearly an intimidation message from Bai Lingyun. Right after that, I got into an accident…”
“Bai Lingyun has been in T City for half a month,” Leng Hao suddenly said.
What?
Ye Xiaotao’s heart dropped. Oh no, she had fallen into Bai Lingyun’s trap.
This Bai Lingyun was so scheming. This time, Leng Hao would probably doubt Ye Xiaotao’s words.
Leng Hao fastened the seatbelt for her and started the car. With two hands on the steering wheel, he drove the Lincoln steadily and quickly.
“But she really did curse our child. She even said that she wanted to take you back…”
Leng Hao glanced at her. “I’ve known her for ten years. She’s very arrogant. She would not say those things.”
“People change. How do you explain what happened to me at school today?”
“I’ll look into it.” Leng Hao curled his thin lips. “Ye Xiaotao, you can’t be so willful in the future.”
Willful?
His words injured Ye Xiaotao deeply. She knew that he believed Bai Lingyun’s words over hers. Perhaps he didn’t think that Ye Xiaotao had bad intentions. But he did think that she was a willful daughter from a rich family.
Ye Xiaotao felt disappointed. Congratulations, Bai Lingyun. You had won the bet.
Leng Hao believed in Bai Lingyun.
It was useless to say anything anymore. Ye Xiaotao simply turned her head and looked out the window.
At this moment, her phone rang. It was a call from one of her friends.
“Hello..” Ye Xiaotao answered the phone.
“Hello, Xiaotao. There were too many people there, so it wasn’t convenient for us to ask. What the h*ll is going on with you? Tell us honestly, is the father of your child senior Mo? Wow, when did you two roll together?”
Because the inside of the car was very quiet, Ye Xiaotao’s friend’s voice resonated in the car. When Ye Xiaotao noticed that, she wanted to smash her phone.
“What are you guys talking about? That’s it, I’m hanging up!” Ye Xiaotao hung up the phone.
She put the phone back into her pocket and peeked at Leng Hao’s expression. He was expressionless, but his facial features were tightly taut.
“Honey, let me explain…”
“You don’t need to explain. Stay away from that Mo Zhengyu in the future. Don’t anger me, okay?” Leng Hao narrowed his eyes at her.
Ye Xiaotao was annoyed by his strange tone. “And you stay far away from that Bai Lingyun. Otherwise, I will be angry too.”
