Chapter 1174: Let’s Get to Try on the Wedding Dress Tomorrow
At this moment, a melodious ringtone was heard, and the phone in her coat pocket rang.
Ye Xiaotao suddenly opened her eyes and reached out to push him.
Leng Hao was immersed in this kiss, so he was being pushed away unexpectedly. His eyes were tainted with lust, scarlet and flirtatious. “What’s wrong?” He asked.
Ye Xiaotao was a little stunned. Her small hand pressed against him, and she lowered her head to take the phone.
The moment she lowered her head, her lips were being kissed again.
“No…” Ye Xiaotao turned her head to avoid it.
Leng Hao kissed her face, and then he used his thumb to rub her red and swollen lips. “Xiaotao, I…”
“It’s Gong Yi calling,” she said.
Leng Hao froze.
Ye Xiaotao took the opportunity to push him away, opened the ward door, and quickly walked out.
Ye Xiaotao stood by the window at the entrance of the corridor, enjoying the cold wind outside. She looked at herself in the mirror. Her cheeks were red and her eyebrows were charming. She looked like she had been doted on by a man before.
She clenched her phone tightly.
The phone rang once, but she didn’t pick it up. However, Gong Yi on the other end was persistent. Her phone rang again.
Ye Xiaotao didn’t take the elevator. She walked down the stairs step by step and picked up the phone. “Hello, Gong Yi…”
“Hello, Xiaotao, what’s wrong? I couldn’t get your phone open. I thought something happened to you. I was so worried about you,” Gong Yi’s anxious voice could be heard from the phone.
Ye Xiaotao looked at her toes and said softly, “I’m in the hospital.”
“What? Hospital? Xiaotao, you…”
“I’m fine. It’s… Leng Hao.”
Gong Yi fell silent suddenly.
“Gong Yi, I’ve thought about it thoroughly. I shouldn’t have dragged you into this. Let’s turn back before it’s too late. I…”
“Xiaotao,” Gong Yi interrupted her, “Are you free tomorrow? The customised Milan’s wedding dress is ready. Let’s go and try it on. You’ll definitely look gorgeous in it.”
“Gong Yi…”
“Xiaotao, don’t talk. I don’t want to hear anything. Don’t think that I don’t have a temper. If you say something that you shouldn’t, I’ll be angry too. I think you won’t be so cruel that you don’t even let me be a fool.”
Ye Xiaotao…
“Alright girl, I know that you’ve been in a bad mood recently. I am not seeing you for today. Rest well. I’ll pick you up tomorrow to try on your wedding dress. See you.”
Gong Yi hung up the phone.
Ye Xiaotao listened to the busy tone. She felt very guilty, distress, and she was at a loss. Gong Yi was a very good man, but she wasn’t worthy of him.
She did not want to hurt him.
What should she do?
After going down to the first floor, Ye Xiaotao walked to the hospital hall. At this time, a group of people walked in front of her. When the person at the front saw Ye Xiaotao, his eyes lit up.
“Little Sister.”
Ye Xiaotao looked up and saw that it was her elder brother, Ye Lin.
“Brother.” She called out indifferently.
“Little Sister, why are you here in the hospital? Are you not feeling well? Come, let Brother have a look. This hospital belongs to your brother. I’ll get the best professor to treat you.”
Ye Xiaotao was looking at Ye Lin’s fake face. She didn’t like her elder brother very much. Her elder brother was good-for-nothing and didn’t have any real talent. He only thought about inheriting the inheritance.
“No need, brother. I’m fine.”
“How can you say you are fine? Let’s go. I’ll get someone to do a full-body check on you.”
“No, Brother. I am leaving now.”
Ye Xiaotao said goodbye to him and left.
“Boss,” Ye Lin’s subordinate whispered, “The eldest miss is becoming more and more arrogant. She’s looking down on you.”
Ye Lin snorted, “Who asked her to be the apple of that Old man’s Eye?”
“Boss, I don’t think the master has any intention of leaving his property to you. The eldest miss is now engaged to the Gong family. That Little Prince Gong is a shrewd person and is very favoured by the master. Will the master leave all the property to the eldest miss and the son-in-law?”
Ye Lin’s face was ferocious. “How dare he? !”
“Boss, the property is all dependent on master’s words. We can’t just surrender, or else we will regret it later.”
“What do you mean?”
The subordinate looked in Ye Xiaotao’s direction.
“No.” Ye Lin shook his head. “She’s been with Young Master Gong recently. I haven’t had the chance to do it…”
“Then we can drive a wedge between young miss and Young Master Gong first. When there’s a rift between them, we’ll make a move against Young Master Gong first, then we’ll deal with the young Miss. After that, all of the Ye family’s assets will be yours, Boss.”
Ye Lin stroked his chin and looked at his subordinate with approval. “Alright, you’re quite quick-witted. That’s a good idea, but how do we drive a wedge between Xiaotao and Young Master Gong?”
The subordinate revealed a greedy and wretched smile. He whispered into Ye Lin’s ear, “Drug young miss and then find a man to…”
Ye Lin heard this and said, “Haha, that man is you, right?”
“Boss, I’m doing all this for you.”
“Alright, don’t say it like that. My sister is beautiful. Many noble young masters want her. It’s hard for you to even lay a finger on her with your status. Nevermind, since you’re following me, I will treat you nice. Deal then.”
The subordinate was overjoyed. “Thank you, Boss.”
“Yes, but Xiao Tao has always been aware of me. Who should I send to drug her without anyone knowing?” Ye Lin was in a difficult position.
“This…” there was no one else to choose from.
At this moment, a woman suddenly appeared in Ye Lin’s sight. Xue Wu burst into tears and snot. She came out in an embarrassing state.
Ye Lin’s eyes lit up.
Ye Xiaotao returned to her apartment. Her mind was in a mess. She took an early shower at night and wanted to go to bed.
At this moment, there was a “ding ling” sound. Someone was knocking on the door.
Who was it?
Ye Xiaotao looked through the peephole. Xue Wu was standing outside the door.
She didn’t want to see Xue Wu at all, but Auntie Miao was there. She didn’t want to make the situation too awkward.
Ye Xiaotao opened the door.
“Xiaotao.” Xue Wu’s eyes were red, and she looked pitiful.
“What’s the matter?”
“Xiaotao, I came to say goodbye to you. I’ll go back to my hometown tomorrow.”
Ye Xiaotao was quite surprised. She knew that Xue Wu came to the capital, wanted to make some achievements, but did she left just like that before the matter was settled?
“Then take care. I am not sending you.” Ye Xiaotao was about to close the door.
“Xiaotao, wait a minute. I know I’ve done a lot of things wrong. You probably won’t forgive me, but I still want to apologize to you. I have something to say to you as well. Can you let me in?”
“If you have something to say, just say it here.”
“It’s about Leng Hao.”
Ye Xiaotao frowned when she heard this name. In the end, she let go of the doorknob and let Xue Wu in.
Both of them came to the living room. Ye Xiaotao sat on the sofa, and Xue Wu spoke, “Xiaotao, I have lied to you on some things. In fact, Leng Hao doesn’t like me. On the third day of work, I wanted to get close to him, so I gave him a cup of coffee. He fired me on the spot, but you called me that time. After I mentioned your name, he let me stay here. He even sent me home.”
