My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

When he took a second look, the girl had already turned around. When she saw that it was Leng Mu, a joyful and sweet smile immediately lit up on her small face. “Father Leng, you’re awake?”

Leng Mu also smiled. He said, “Xiaotao, you’re even more beautiful than I imagined.”

Ye Xiaotao’s big watery eyes instantly curved into a crescent moon. She blinked playfully. “Father Leng, what did you imagine me to be like?”

Leng Mu thought for a moment, “I’ve lived for so many years, but this is the first time someone told me a fairy tale. You kept chattering beside my ears. I thought to myself that this girl is as noisy as a little bird. Later… You saved me from the fire. My arm was resting on your thin shoulder. At that time, I was thinking that this girl is like a warrior. She’s exceptionally strong.”

Ye Xiaotao felt elated in her heart. She shrugged and said, “Alright, I have to admit that I like hearing your praises. Come, Father Leng, please have a seat.”

Leng Mu sat on the chair while Ye Xiaotao sat by the bed. Other than her face being pale, the girl’s delicate eyes were bright and beautiful. She seemed alive again.

“Xiaotao, our Leng family owes you. I’m sorry. You’ve suffered.”

“Father Leng, you don’t have to apologize. You don’t owe me anything. It’s all in the past.”

Her relaxed words also expressed her estranged attitude. It was obvious that she didn’t want to talk about this topic. She had already hidden the child in the bottom of her heart. She didn’t want anyone to touch it.

“Xiaotao, what are your plans in the future?”

Ye Xiaotao looked up at the blue sky outside the window. “Father Leng, I’m going to be discharged from the hospital soon. I plan to go to France to study. I like to paint. I believe that I can become an outstanding artist.”

Study abroad?

Leng Mu nodded. “That’s good too. You’re so young. Your future has just begun…” As he spoke, Leng Mu took a glance outside the door. “Xiaotao, he’s outside now. Do you want to… meet him?”

Leng Hao was leaning against the wall outside the door. As he listened to the conversation inside, he clenched his fists tightly in his trouser pocket. His palms were covered in sweat.

He held his breath and waited for her answer.

Her answer was her sentence for him.

After a long time, the girl’s voice floated out. “Father Leng, when I was very young, my father taught me that a real princess didn’t live for other people. We have to live like a princess for our own sake. Hence, I, Ye Xiaotao, will not be easily defeated by life. I want to pick myself up from where I fall.”

“I don’t want to be a rose. I just want to be a stubborn little grass. However, no matter how stubborn I am, my heart is injured and may never heal. I want to leave this city. I want to forget all the unbearable memories. I also don’t want to… see those people again. I will only be able to live a better life if I leave them.”

Leng Hao’s fists slowly relaxed in his trouser pocket. He dejectedly leaned the back of his head against the wall and gently closed his eyes. His long eyelashes cast a lonely and despair silhouette under his handsome eyelids.

She didn’t want to see him anymore.

She didn’t want to see him…

The sound of footsteps was heard. Someone was coming.

Leng Hao opened his eyes to take a look. Father Ye was standing not far away. He was looking at him.

Leng Hao stood up straight.

“Come here, I have something to tell you.”Father Ye turned around.

…

The two of them came to the entrance of the corridor. Father Ye handed a document to him. “Take it. If there are no problems, just sign it.”
