Chapter 1066: I Miss Him, A Lot
The driver opened the car door, and Father Ye was the first to get out. With an expression full of love, he reprimanded, “Xiaotao, what are you saying? Is this not your home anymore?”
“Well...”
“Nevermind. You’re all grown up, and I don’t have a say in your life anymore. When I learned that you were in danger, I immediately returned from Beijing. But you? You don’t even want to spend one day with me. Leng Hao is the only person on your mind. Nevermind, you can leave me all by myself.” Father Ye sighed and walked towards the three-story house.
Ye Xiaotao felt guilty. She got out of the car and caught up with father Ye and hooked his arm. “Daddy, don’t be angry. I didn’t mean it that way. Daddy is the best. I’ll stay and keep Daddy company.”
Ye Xiaotao acted coquettishly.
Father Ye’s expression softened when he heard that. He tapped the tip of Ye Xiaotao’s little nose. “That’s my girl. I didn’t raise you up in vain. Stay with me for a while. The maid will cook all your favorite food.”
“Mmm. Thank you, daddy.”
...
Ye Xiaotao stayed at father Ye’s place for a month. During this time, father Ye rose early and returned late at night. He was busy with work, so Ye Xiaotao had been bored to death.
She wanted to go back to Leng Hao’s place, but every time she brought up the topic with father Ye, he would always change the topic. Ye Xiaotao feared that she might break his father’s heart, so she refrained from insisting.
The strangest thing for Ye Xiaotao was that Leng Hao didn’t contact her at all the past month. No text messages or phone calls. Ye Xiaotao didn’t go back to Leng Hao’s place, neither did Leng Hao visit her at father Ye’s place.
Ye Xiaotao felt a little uneasy. She laid on her bed and took out her phone. She sent a message to Leng Hao that reads, “Honey, what are you doing?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe waited for a while, but there was no reply.
Ye Xiaotao sat up. She pouted her pink lips and decided to call Leng Hao’s number. A mechanic female voice said, “Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently busy.”
She was very discouraged. What did Leng Hao mean by this? Did he not miss Ye Xiaotao?
Ye Xiaotao decided that she had to go back to Leng Hao’s place.
She ran downstairs and rushed out of the mansion. However, the maid stopped her. “Miss Ye, where are you going? The master ordered us not to let you out now that you’re obviously pregnant.”
“I... want to go out for a walk. Can’t I do that?”
The maid shook her head. “I have to ask the master first and then send two bodyguards with you on your walk.”
“Forget it. I’ll stay in.” Ye Xiaotao gave up and went upstairs.
Ye Xiaotao returned to her room. She began thinking about what the maid just said. The more she pondered, the more confused she got. Was father Ye grounding her?
Why would father Ye do that?
Ye Xiaotao had been feeling very uneasy lately. Father Ye was acting strange, and so was Leng Hao. Even sister Leng seemed to have disappeared. Ye Xiaotao couldn’t reach Leng Zhiyuan at all.
Ye Xiaotao thought for a moment and came up with an idea.
When the maid wasn’t paying attention, Ye Xiaotao sneaked into the gym on the first floor. She quietly opened the window in the room and jumped out. She took a deep breath of the fresh air outside. She felt great. She was free again.
She ran to the main street, took a taxi, and went straight to Leng Hao’s place.
...
At Leng Hao’s villa.
The maid opened the door and said in a surprised tone, “Young Madam, you’re back! Where have you been all this time?”
Ye Xiaotao walked in. “My father is back, so I stayed with him for a while...” Ye Xiaotao answered while looking around the villa. “Is my husband at home?”
The maid shook her head. “No. The young master seems to be very busy recently. He only comes home once a week. When he comes back, he takes a shower and then leaves again.”
“Oh.” Ye Xiaotao nodded. “Is father feeling better? Are you guys keeping up the message for him?”
“Of course. We did as you have instructed persistently. Two days ago, the doctor came and said that the old master’s qi and blood flow had improved. The massage is very helpful.”
“Really?” Ye Xiaotao smiled happily. “I’ll go see father.”
...
After opening the door to Leng Mu’s room, Ye Xiaotao walked in. Leng Mu was still lying on the bed, still in a coma.
Ye Xiaotao sat beside the bed and held her chin with her two small hands. She was talking to Leng Mu.
“Father, when will you wake up? Is something in that world attracting you so much so that you aren’t willing to return to this world? If you come back, I’ll entertain you every day. Everyone says that I’m an amusing person.”
“Father, I am four months pregnant. In six months, your grandson will be born. How about this, father can name the child. Father, you are going to be a grandfather.”
“Father, I have a secret to tell you. Your son, right? Yes, that stinky rock. I like him very much. He also said that he likes me. Anyway, I am his wife. In the future, our family of three along with father and sister Leng will live happily together and will never be separated.”
Ye Xiaotao rested her head on the bed as she said that. She pouted her little mouth sadly and muttered to herself, “But, I haven’t seen him for a month. He hasn’t contacted me. Hmm, doesn’t he miss me? But, I miss him. I miss him a lot. I dream of him every day...”
Ye Xiaotao felt sleepy. She slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt this moment, Leng Mu’s right index finger suddenly moved. Everything happened so suddenly and quickly. In the next moment, Leng Mu was like he was before, still in a coma.
...
At night, Leng Hao returned to the villa.
The maid quickly went up to him. “Young master, you’re back! I’ll heat up your dinner...”
“No need, I’ve eaten.” Leng Hao’s handsome figure was covered with a layer of frost. He spoke indifferently and walked upstairs with his long legs. He loosened the tie around his neck as he went up the stairs.
The clothes he wore were from a few days ago. They were a little wrinkled, which made him look worn out. His eyes were filled with fatigue.
“Young master,” the servant called from behind him, “The young madam came back today.”
Leng Hao stopped and immediately turned to look at the maid, “Where is she now?”
“She’s in the master’s room.”
Leng Hao nodded and went straight to Leng Mu’s room.
He pushed open the door. An orange-colored light lit the room. The room appeared serene and relaxing. A faint halo surrounded the entire bed.
Leng Hao walked to the girl’s side. The girl was sleeping soundly. Her pink and tender little face was blushing, and she was sleeping peacefully.
Leng Hao felt that the fatigue and depression of the past month had been swept away. When a man was tired, he needed a woman at home. This woman would be waiting for him to come home.
Ye Xiaotao was that woman.
Father Ye brought Ye Xiaotao with him that day. Leng Hao understood what father Ye meant. Ye Ziyi was the son of the Ye family. Father Ye was afraid that this matter would implicate Ye Xiaotao, so father Ye wanted to protect her. Leng Hao thought that it was all for the best. Since Ye Xiaotao was with father Ye, Leng Hao could use the time to search for Zhiyuan.
Leng Hao vowed to find Zhiyuan. Their father was in a coma, Leng Hao couldn’t afford to lose his sister as well.
However, he made no progress in his search for Zhiyuan.
Leng Hao bent down and gently picked up the girl. Then he carried her in his arms and walked towards their bedroom.
