Chapter 1068: I’m His Wife
The maid immediately stepped forward when she saw that Ye Xiaotao had barged in. She said in a sorry tone, “Miss, you can’t just barge in here. Please leave immediately.”
“Leave?” Ye Xiaotao pointed at herself. “Why? Don’t I look like the young madam?”
The maid looked at Ye Xiaotao from top to bottom. She must admit that the girl was really beautiful. But she seemed to be very young and looked like a female university student. How could Ye Xiaotao be the young madam?
“No,” The maid shook her head affirmatively.
Ye Xiaotao clicked her tongue. “Nevermind, talking to you will do no good. Just call the young master and ask him.”
“Umm…” the maid had no other choice but to go to the living room and make the call.
Ye Xiaotao took this opportunity and ran upstairs. “There are so many rooms here. Which one belongs to the young master… Oh, no, which one belongs to the young master and me?”
“Hey, Miss, you can’t go upstairs…” the maid put down the phone in a panic and followed closely behind Ye Xiaotao.
There were really many rooms upstairs. Ye Xiaotao casually pushed open the door to a room and her eyes lit up. This room was decorated so beautifully.
The interior was humble but luxurious. There was a thick and soft yellowish wool carpet, the walls were covered with simple wallpaper. There were many plants and delicate flowers on the balcony. Ye Xiaotao felt the red quilt on the bed. The quilt was hand-embroidered with mandarin ducks in the water.
It was obvious that this was a room prepared for a woman.
Ye Xiaotao’s delicate little face bloomed with a smile that was sweeter than the flowers. “Is this… prepared for me by your young master? It’s so beautiful. I like it very much.”
The maid was shocked. Then she shook her head. “No, this is… this Is…”
Ye Xiaotao was not expecting an answer at all. She was immersed in her own world. She was certain that the room was prepared for her by Leng Hao. He wanted to give her a big surprise.
“Is this the bathroom? Let me take a look.”
Ye Xiaotao walked into the bathroom. The mouthwash cup on the sink drew Ye Xiaotao’s attention. The mouthwash cup was engraved with a hand-made drawing. A drawing of the sea of love.
Sea of love. It was said that the sea of love was a place for eternal love promises.
Ye Xiaotao suddenly remembered that she had seen such a mouthwash cup somewhere before. Leng Hao had a cup like this at T City.
However, he had a blue one. This one was light yellow.
The two appeared to be matching lovers’ cups.
Were these also… prepared by Leng Hao for her?
Everything in the room seemed to be custom-made, and many of them were handmade. Besides the expensive value, it was enough to show how much effort the person who decorated this room put in.
“Hmm, this pair of slippers is so beautiful. It’s furry. I remember now. This pair of slippers is a limited edition. I once asked my daddy to buy them for me, but they were sold out.” Ye Xiaotao glanced at her feet. She hadn’t changed her shoes when she came in, so she was still wearing a pair of ta.s.seled riding boots. She immediately took off her riding boots. “These slippers were prepared for me, right? Then I won’t stand on ceremony. I’ll wear them now.”
“Miss!” The servant didn’t know what to say.
Ye Xiaotao tried the slippers on. But the size of the slippers was too big for her. They were a size 8, Ye Xiaotao was a size 6. They didn’t fit Ye Xiaotao’s feet. If she walked in them, the shoes would fall off.
Ye Xiaotao thought that she had to tell Leng Hao of the misfit later.
At this moment, the door to the main entrance opened. A maid said, “Young master, welcome back.”
“Oh no, the young master is back. Miss, please leave quickly.” The maid in the room had a drastic change in expression. She ran out in a panic.
Was Leng Hao back?
Ye Xiaotao was overjoyed. She dragged the slippers that did not fit her and ran out quickly. She stood by the carved railing and looked down. “Honey, you’re back?”
A tall and straight figure stood at the entrance. It was indeed Leng Hao. After not seeing him for such a long time, Ye Xiaotao missed him so much. She wanted to run downstairs and give him a big hug.
But she soon came to a halt. A woman followed Leng Hao into the mansion. She was tall and slender, with a beautiful face. She looked like a perfect match for Leng Hao.
Ye Xiaotao was shocked. She felt as if someone had pour water over her pa.s.sionate flames. She stood in place, frozen. She forgot to react.
Who was that woman?
Why did she come home with Leng Hao?
“Young master, Miss Bai, welcome back. Would you like me to prepare dinner now?” A maid asked.
Miss Bai?
Bai Lingyun?
Ye Xiaotao was mind blown. She didn’t know Bai Lingyun, nor had she seen her before. But Leng Hao did call her “Yun’er” at the time when he was drunk.
She was Leng Hao’s first love. His love for ten years.
Bai Lingyun’s name was like thunder piercing through Ye Xiaotao’s ears. Ye Xiaotao did not expect to b.u.mp into her like this.
…..
Leng Hao looked up when he heard the familiar cute voice. He saw Ye Xiaotao standing upstairs. She looked at him blankly with her big, watery eyes.
He immediately frowned. “Why are you here?”
His expression surprised Ye Xiaotao. There was no surprise or tenderness in his eyes. He didn’t seem to like her coming.
Ye Xiaotao immediately took a step back. She was clutching the corners of her clothes tightly with her hands. She felt like a clown. She had intruded another’s territory, and no one welcomed her.
Leng Hao realized that his tone was too harsh when he saw Ye Xiaotao’s reaction. He just didn’t expect her to be here. Subconsciously, Leng Hao didn’t like her running around because she always got into trouble.
He wanted to go upstairs and comfort her.
But Bai Lingyun said, “Hao, who is this? Aren’t you going to introduce her?”
Leng Hao stopped. He glanced at Ye Xiaotao and then looked at Bai Lingyun, “This is…”
“I’m his wife!” Ye Xiaotao suddenly said. Her voice was a little soft and timid, but it was very sonorous and firm.
Leng Hao looked up. The girl was also looking at him with sparkling eyes.
Bai Lingyun smiled. “Oh, so you’re Mrs. Leng. I’ve heard a lot about you.” Then Bai Lingyun looked at Leng Hao. “Hao, I’ll wait for you in the study room.”
Bai Lingyun went upstairs. When she brushed past Ye Xiaotao, she glanced at the slippers on Ye Xiaotao’s feet. Then she gave an ambiguous chuckle and went straight into the study room.
Ye Xiaotao didn’t know what Bai Lingyun was laughing at. She only felt Bai Lingyun’s hostility and… condescension.
Bai Lingyun said that she had heard a lot about Ye Xiaotao. What Bai Lingyun had heard about was probably how Ye Xiaotao raped and then married Leng Hao. Ye Xiaotao was shocked when she heard Bai Lingyun’s name because she knew that Bai Lingyun was Leng Hao’s first love.
In front of the man, Bai Lingyun had the right to laugh at her and look down on her.
In addition, Bai Lingyun called him “Hao.” She was also very familiar with the mansion. Bai Lingyun moved around freely in the mansion as if she was the real mistress of this house.
Ye Xiaotao didn’t like that.
