“Girl, I was injured because I was trying to protect you. How can you be so heartless?”
“I…”
“Ouch.” Gong Yi grunted in pain. He stumbled and immediately fell towards Ye Xiaotao.
“Hey!” Ye Xiaotao was shocked. She quickly reached out to hug his waist.
Gong Yi took the opportunity to kiss her face again. “I lied to you.”
Ye Xiaotao: …
“Let’s go.” Gong Yi held Ye Xiaotao in his arms and strode away.
“Xiaotao, Xiao…” Xiaojie lifted her skirt and wanted to chase after Ye Xiaotao. However, Ye Xiaotao’s figure had already disappeared. Xiaojie stood at the same spot dejectedly. She looked at Leng Hao who was not far away.
The doctor had already arrived. Leng Hao’s right leg was pierced by a glass shard. The doctor pulled the shard out with force. Xiaojie saw a layer of cold sweat on Leng Hao’s forehead.
However, he did not make a sound. His eyes were bloodshot and dim as he stared in the direction where Ye Xiaotao left.
Xiaojie felt conflicted. Initially, she thought that Leng Hao had no feelings for Xiaotao. But now, it seemed that Leng Hao also loved Xiao Tao very much.
She suddenly began to sympathize with Leng Hao.
…
Leng Hao returned to his office. He took off his bloody shirt and trousers and changed into a clean set of clothes.
Achen was worried. He said, “Boss, the doctor is right. You should take two bottles of IV drip…”
“It’s just a small injury. There’s no need for that.” Leng Hao stood in front of the French window. He took out a cigarette and lit it up. Then, he started to smoke.
He smoked too fast so he bent over and coughed twice.
Achen frowned. His heart was aching for his boss. The president had received many cuts on his body by the glass shards and he lost a lot of blood. He should not smoke at this time.
However, Achen knew that the president would not listen even if he reminded him. Right now, the president would probably only listen to… young madam’s words.
But young madam…
“Get someone to investigate the cause of the French window breaking. If it is a problem with the raw materials or the installation, I will take full responsibility and punish the relevant people severely!” Leng Hao furrowed his brows as he moved his thin lips.
“Yes.” Achen nodded He turned around and left.
The large office became quiet. Leng Hao inhaled a puff of smoke and slowly exhaled. His face was white and the mustache on his chin made him look extremely dispirited. His sharp and angular facial features became colder and his expression became more vicious.
It was nighttime. Thousands of lights could be seen outside the French windows. However, there was only loneliness in his eyes.
His mind was filled with images of Gong Yi and her hugging and holding hands. Those images pierced his heart deeply. Every breath he took at this moment was painful.
What was she doing?
Had she returned to the capital with Gong Yi?
He really wanted to chase her back but he didn’t dare. if he had the guts, he could have done so in the corridor leading to the washroom or in the main hall.
But, what right did he have to be so confident?
The cigarette butt quickly formed a circle under his feet. He had finished a pack of cigarettes. He reached into his trouser pocket. His pants were new so there were no cigarettes inside.
He turned around and laid down on the sofa. Then, he closed his eyes wearily.
He started dreaming.
He dreamed about what happened four years ago. He was standing at the door of the operating theater. The lady fell from the operating table and knelt in front of him. She broke down and begged him in despair. She begged him to save her child…
Little Xiaotao…
His Little Xiaotao…
If not for that accident, he would have been a father now. He should have a complete and happy family.
But now, he had nothing.
He was all alone.
…
Leng Hao was woken up by the ringing of a bell. He opened his eyes. His eyes were bloodshot and there was a patch of blue-black below his eyes. He looked around and realized that he was in the office.
