Chapter 1117: Four Years Later
After saying this, Ye Xiaotao turned around and left without a trace of nostalgia.
“Xiaotao!” Leng Hao held her small hand tightly. His voice trembled as he said, “Don’t go, don’t… leave me, please…”
He didn’t know what else he could do besides begging humbly.
Ye Xiaotao didn’t turn around. She pulled her fingers back bit by bit.
“Ye Xiaotao!” A clear voice sounded. Gong Yi ran over. “Who is this man? As my girlfriend, should I punish you for dating another man behind my back?”
Ye Xiaotao: …
“Let’s go. I’ll teach you a lesson when we get home.” Gong Yi held Ye Xiaotao’s hand and took her away.
Leng Hao watched the two of them walked away. At this moment, his world was no longer far away. What was the furthest distance in the world? When he loved her, her love was no longer present.
…
Four years later.
Leng Hao opened his eyes. His whole body was covered in a layer of sweat as though it had just rained. He sat up straight and rested his head on the chair behind him. He moved his eyelids slightly and two drops of tears fell from the corner of his eyes.
The crystal-like tears slid into his clear and angular hairlines. They quickly disappeared.
How long were four years? It felt like a century had pa.s.sed.
He looked out of the car window. Flynn Mall…
Was she back?
She was finally back.
He started the car and the Lincoln darted out like an arrow.
In the villa.
The maid rushed to open the door. “Sir, you’re back?”
Leng Hao pursed his thin lips and did not say a word. He changed his shoes at the entrance, unb.u.t.toned his coat, and went upstairs.
“Sir, have you had dinner? It’s New Year’s Eve, have some glutinous rice b.a.l.l.s…” Before the maid could finish speaking, the man’s handsome back view had already disappeared from her sight.
The maid sighed. She had been here for four years. In these four years, the villa had always been cold and lonely. It seemed that Sir did not have any relatives or friends, not even a woman.
Honestly, what was so good about being wealthy? Today was New Year’s Eve. Everyone was playing with firecrackers and fireworks outside. Families were reunited but Sir was all alone. She had not seen him smile for the past four years.
Money could not buy happiness.
Her Sir was not happy at all.
…
Leng Hao entered the study. The villa was burned down four years ago so he had someone renovate it. The decorations here were exactly the same as four years ago.
He walked towards the office chair and sat down. At this moment, the melodious ringtone rang. It was his phone call.
“h.e.l.lo, president. I have already investigated the matter that you asked me to investigate…” Achen’s voice was heard.
Leng Hao had no intention of speaking. Achen continued, “Miss Ye came back two days ago. This time, she came back to T city to attend her good friend’s wedding. After the wedding, Miss Ye will return to the capital.”
Return to the capital…
Leng Hao hung up the phone. Actually, he had already guessed that she would not stay in T city. The Ye family was situated in the capital so she would have to go back there.
His slender index finger scrolled through the ringtones on his phone and found something. He clicked on the ringtone and a sweet and lovely voice was immediately heard. “Hubby, you have a call. Pick up the phone quickly. I love you…”
This was the ringtone she recorded for him four years ago. She said that it was her exclusive ringtone. When he heard her voice, he had to pick up the phone immediately.
For the past few years, this was the only thing he could look for when he missed her.
Leng Hao leaned his body against the back of the chair and closed his eyes tiredly.
…
In the five-star luxury winery, Ye Xiaotao came to the bride’s dressing room. “Knock, knock.” She raised her hand and knocked on the door.
