Chapter 1074: Don’t Make Her Sad
Leng Hao’s eyes darkened and pinched her.
Ye Xiaotao almost cried out loud. Then, she heard two knocks on the door. “Young master, young madam, breakfast is ready.”
Leng Hao had no intention of moving away from Ye Xiaotao at all. Ye Xiaotao regretted her actions. He was so rough; it made her scared.
She immediately pushed him away from the chest with her two small hands. Then, she crawled away from him.
Leng Hao watched her crawl like a puppy. Her perky b.u.t.tocks swung left and right. The tent in his trouser grew bigger and bigger until it almost tore the fabric. Leng Hao fell to the ground in disappointment and closed his eyes.
Little vixen!
…
Christmas.
The maid opened the door and Ye Xiaotao walked in with Leng Hao
Father Ye quickly came up to them. “Xiaotao, Leng Hao, welcome.”
“Daddy, Merry Christmas!” Ye Xiaotao gave her daddy a big hug.
Father Ye smiled lovingly.
“Father-in-law, Merry Christmas.” Leng Hao handed the gift in his hand to the maid.
“Oh, you didn’t have to bring a gift. There’s no need for that in the future. Come, let’s sit in the living room. Someone bring the tea.”
Father Ye and Leng Hao sat across from each other. Ye Xiaotao sat with her dad. At this time, a beautiful and elegant woman came out with three cups of tea. “Master, young master Leng, the tea is here.”
Father Ye patted Ye Xiaotao’s shoulder. “Leng Hao, Xiaotao, let me introduce you to Auntie Miao.”
Auntie Miao served the tea to both father Ye and Leng Hao. Then, she walked over to Ye Xiaotao’s side and smiled. “Xiaotao, you can’t drink tea now that you’re pregnant. I made this banana milkshake. It tastes pretty good. Have a taste.”
Ye Xiaotao glanced at Auntie Miao. Ye Xiaotao was in quite an awkward situation. This Auntie Miao looked like she was in her twenties. It was more appropriate for Ye Xiaotao to call her big sister.
Did Ye Xiaotao’s father get a new woman? Ye Xiaotao remembered hearing a very coquettish voice over the phone last time. A girl in her early twenties. It definitely wasn’t Auntie Miao’s voice, because Auntie Miao’s behavior was elegant and proper.
Ye Xiaotao had quite a good impression of this Auntie Miao. Ye Xiaotao’s father was almost fifty years old. It was time to find a good woman to settle down with.
“Thank you, Auntie Miao.”
“You’re welcome. We’re all family. Master, young master Leng, excuse me. I’m going to the kitchen to check on dinner.” Auntie Miao left after saying that.
“Daddy, how many Aunties have you changed? This Auntie Miao is not bad. At least she knows how to cook. Past aunties were all gold diggers and vain,” Ye Xiaotao whispered.
Father Ye glanced at Auntie Miao’s back and smiled. “You don’t have to worry about me. Take care of yourself.”
“Oh.” Ye Xiaotao shut her mouth obediently.
Father Ye and Leng Hao talked about some business matters, Ye Xiaotao didn’t understand the content. Soon, Ye Xiaotao heard Auntie Miao’s warm voice. “Master, young master Leng, Xiaotao, it’s time to eat.”
“Okay.” Father Ye stood up. “Come, let’s go eat.”
Father Ye led the group. Ye Xiaotao hugged Leng Hao’s arm. She blinked her eyes and smiled. “So this is my family. Are you… feeling uncomfortable?”
“In what way?”
“Auntie Miao, and the many aunts…”
Leng Hao smirked. “What are you thinking about? Don’t meddle in the affairs of adults.”
Why did Leng Hao sound like Ye Xiaotao’s father? Ye Xiaotao was also an adult, okay?
…
After dinner, Father Ye and Leng Hao outside the mansion. There were Christmas trees everywhere on the lawn. All the trees were decorated with lights. It was very festive.
Ye Xiaotao squatted beside a Christmas tree. She was holding a small, s.h.i.+ny light in her hand and was fiddling with it. She wore a plain-colored dress, and a red, loose sweater. A plain-colored scarf wrapped around her neck. Her dark hair was loose, which made her small face look as white as snow.
From afar, She looked like an ink painting.
Father Ye looked at Leng Hao and saw that Leng Hao’s gaze was gently and attentively fixed on his precious daughter. He smiled in satisfaction and said, “Regarding your sister, do you blame me for not helping?”
Leng Hao smiled. “No. If it were me, I might have made the same decision.”
Father Ye nodded. Great minds think alike. Father Ye need not make further explanations. He sighed and looked at Ye Xiaotao, who was in the distance. “This precious daughter of mine may look lively and cheerful on the outside, but she went through quite a lot.”
“Her mother died giving birth to her. At that time, I had many mistresses and would bring them home. Those women treated her very well on the surface, Ye Xiaotao was also very happy. She was so sweet. She liked everyone she saw. Then, one day, I noticed that there were many bruises on her arms. I understood that those women were abusing her behind my back, but I didn’t understand why Xiaotao kept quiet about it. She was the apple of my eye. If she said something…”
“After that, she noticed that all the women were gone. She came to me and asked me where the aunts were. I told her that I had sent them home. She believed me. In fact, I had chopped up all the women and fed them to the dogs.”
“When she was twelve, I was seriously ill and couldn’t get out of bed. At that time, my two sons began making small moves when they learned that I was dying. They wanted to split the family a.s.sets. She was the only one who stayed by my bed. She smiled and encouraged me, saying, “Daddy, you will definitely get better.” But I saw her teary eyes. She was always like that. She liked to show her smile to everyone and cry alone secretly.
Leng Hao’s heart turned unbelievably soft. Father Ye didn’t need to tell Leng Hao all that. He knew the kind of girl Ye Xiaotao was.
“I see.” Leng Hao walked towards Ye Xiaotao with his long legs.
“Leng Hao,” father Ye said from behind him, “Xiaotao is a simple and pure girl. Cherish her smile. Don’t make her sad.”
Leng Hao paused for a moment, then he nodded.
…
Ye Xiaotao hung the small crystal light on the tree. Then, she saw a tall and handsome shadow on the tree. She immediately turned around and said, “Honey? What did my daddy say to you just now?”
Leng Hao looked at the girl’s exquisite little face and said, “Your daddy told me to cherish you.”
“Will you?”
“Of course. Your daddy is watching me like a tiger.”
Ye Xiaotao pinched her nose and snorted. “Good. If you treat me poorly in the future, I will ask my daddy to cut you into pieces.”
“Ha,” Leng Hao laughed. Then, a beautiful gift box appeared in his hand. “This is for you.”
“Wow!” Ye Xiaotao’s eyes lit up. “Is this a Christmas gift for me? What’s inside it?”
“Open it.”
Ye Xiaotao wiped her hands on her clothes and opened the box. Inside the box was a pair of beautiful, crystal shoes.
