After entering the room upstairs, Leng Hao closed the door. All the noises outside were cut off from the room. It was very peaceful.
He lifted his hand and unbuttoned his shirt buttons one by one before taking it off. He did not go to the bathroom. Instead, he walked to the bedside and sat down. Then, he took out a cigarette and lit it.
His tall and handsome back hunched forward as he lowered his eyes and smoked.
Ye Xiaotao’s words kept echoing beside his ears. “I already have a boyfriend. I will be getting married soon.” His heart felt empty and his body was tired.
The boundless sea surged and waves slammed his heart. He felt… despair.
At this moment, two sets of footsteps sounded outside the door. Zhou Sileng’s delicate voice was heard. “Pretty sister, come with me quickly…”
“This is not good. It’s not polite to come to the rooms upstairs…”
“This is my home. I invited you here. What’s not polite about it? I don’t care, pretty sister, you draw really well. I want you to draw another picture in my homework book. I want to show it to my classmates at school so that they will be envious… pretty sister, don’t reject me. This is my birthday present.”
“This…”
As Ye Xiaotao was hesitating, Zhou Sileng had already pushed open a door and pulled her in.
The room was very dark and the curtains were closed. Ye Xiaotao saw the man sitting by the bed at first glance and she froze.
Leng Hao had taken off his shirt, revealing his lean and strong physique. He wore a pair of black trousers with a black metal belt tied around his narrow waist. It was giving off a cold light.
He was smoking. There was a spark of fire between his slender fingers. Smoke came out from his thin lips, blurring his handsome face.
Sensing that someone had barged in, he raised his head.
Their gazes met in the air.
Ye Xiaotao was stunned for a moment before she started feeling awkward. She quickly shifted her gaze away from him and said, “Sorry, I didn’t know you were here. It was Sileng who dragged me in…”
Ye Xiaotao turned around to look for Zhou Silen, but there was no one around her. Zhou Sileng had already left.
Ye Xiaotao: …
“I’m leaving first.” She didn’t want to stay any longer. She was annoyed and embarrassed. He was naked. This should be his room and she had intruded into his private territory.
She turned around and left.
After taking two steps, a low and hoarse voice came from behind her. “Where are you going in such a hurry?”
For some reason, Ye Xiaotao could hear the sarcasm and sharpness in his tone, as if he was questioning her.
Ye Xiaotao was speechless. She just ignored him and left.
She put her small hand on the doorknob and wanted to pull the door open and walk out. But, at this time, a big palm pressed on her hand and stopped her action. The man’s voice became colder. “I’m talking to you. Did you hear me?!”
“No, let go!”
Ye Xiaotao freed herself from his large palm.
However, the strong palm pressed on her shoulder instead. The man turned around with ease and she was forced to turn around to face him. In her eyes, she saw his cold and hard face getting bigger. She could hear him interrogating her as he tried his best to restrain his emotions. “Ye Xiaotao, why are you… ignoring me?”
She was unable to break free so Ye Xiaotao decided to straighten her slender back and looked at him directly in the eye with her clear and watery eyes. Instead of answering, she asked, “Leng Hao, what do you want?”
Leng Hao was stunned. He didn’t expect her to ask this question. He hadn’t thought of an answer. “I…”
“We’re divorced. Now you’re my ex-husband. You want to be my friend…”
