“Mm.” Ye Xiaotao snorted and sneered, “Mr. Leng is too busy with his daily affairs. Even if I make a birthday cake, I’m afraid you won’t have time to eat it.”
It had been more than four years. When she was pregnant, she still chased him around the world. Yet, he was always very busy and kept canceling on her. He didn’t even accompany Little Xiaotao for a prenatal checkup, not even once.
How could she not resent and hate him for all this?
Leng Hao stopped in his tracks. He felt a sharp pain in his heart. “… I’m sorry…”
“There’s no need to be sorry. Actually, I still have to thank Mr. Leng. I don’t know how to cook, but in the past, in order to please you, I learned how to make simple western pastries, including birthday cakes.”
Leng Hao recalled that a long time ago, they had a sweet time together. He would get off work very early. In the study, she would always stick around him and call him ‘hubby’ with a smile. She would massage his shoulders and even feed him desserts…
Whenever he thought of these sweet moments in the past, his bones would feel soft and warm. But, his heart hurt even more.
Now, she probably just wanted to hurt him.
“Xiaotao, what happened in the past was all my fault. I neglected you and didn’t cherish you. But these can’t deny my love for you. Xiaotao, I love you.”
“Give me a chance. Let’s start over. In the future, I will treat you well with all my heart. Don’t leave me. These four years… I feel like I’m going crazy…”
Start over?
She would indeed start over, but not with him.
“Okay, I can give you a chance.”
“Really?” Leng Hao’s eyes lit up. The frozen blood in his body started boiling.
“If you bring Little Xiaotao back to life.” Ye Xiaotao stopped the cart and looked at him.
The light in Leng Hao’s eyes instantly extinguished. A tinge of grey covered his eyes. Little Xiaotao was also the pain in his heart.
Ye Xiaotao scoffed. Then, she pushed the cart and strode away.
…
After returning to the Ye family’s villa, Ye Xiaotao began to make the birthday cake.
Auntie Miao helped her. “Xiaotao, if Young Master Gong knew that you made the cake for him personally, he would be overjoyed.”
Ye Xiaotao pursed her lips and smiled. She looked at Auntie Miao. “Auntie Miao, you’ve been married to my daddy for almost four years. You’re still young, you’re only thirty years old. Don’t you plan to have another child?”
“We have a child.” Auntie Miao looked at Ye Xiaotao lovingly. She was their daughter.
Ye Xiaotao didn’t say anything. She just felt that everything at this moment was really good. Her daddy had lived for so many years but he was still able to meet a good woman like Auntie Miao who treated him sincerely.
“Madam, miss.” At this moment, a maid walked over. “Young Master Gong has ordered someone to deliver the gown.”
“Okay, put it in my room.”
After making the birthday cake, Auntie Miao wrapped it. Ye Xiaotao went back to her room and opened the dress box. Inside the box laid a white princess dress.
The top part of the princess dress was a light gold vest-style dress. It was decorated with crystal diamonds. The bottom part with a fluffy layered shaw dress. It was beautiful and magnificent.
Ye Xiaotao put on the princess dress and sat in front of the dressing table. She let her soft black hair down and braided her hair near her forehead. Then, she put on a light layer of makeup.
She walked two rounds in front of the mirror. After she felt satisfied, she carried the cake and went out the door.
…
The Gong family villa.
The lawn of the villa was decorated with colorful lights. The lights in the hall were bright and dazzling. All the noble young masters and ladies of the capital had gathered here.
Gong Yi wore a white shirt and black trousers. This simple and classic outfit made him look extraordinarily handsome. It attracted the attention of thousands of people.
