Chapter 1048 - You Are Also a Coward (1/2)

However, Leng Hao’s left hand, which was in his trouser pocket, was tightly clenched. He felt stuffy. This feeling was suffocating.

He did not know what was wrong with him. He seemed to be furious and angry.

In the past ten years, he had been on and off with Bai Lingyun. When Bai Lingyun was studying abroad, she met many different men. He knew all these, but he did not have this feeling at that time. Perhaps he was too busy at that time: he had just taken over the business of the Leng family and had put almost all his energy into his career.

Was he jealous?

No.

Leng Hao denied in his heart. He and the girl were from two different worlds. She wasn’t his type. Perhaps, maybe, it was because this girl was still technically Mrs. Leng when she was flirting with other boys, and she was still pregnant with his baby. No man could tolerate such behavior.

Ye Xiaotao really felt quite awkward. She had already clearly rejected senior Mo, but senior Mo had confessed to her in front of so many people. If she rejected him, senior Mo would definitely lose face. But there’s no way she would accept his confession.

“I remember that I still have some things to attend to. Excuse me.” Ye Xiaotao turned around to leave.

“Xiaotao!”

Mo Zhengyu called. The crowd was shocked. They looked at Ye Xiaotao’s departing figure and gossiped, “What does Ye Xiaotao mean by this?”

“Probably a rejection…”

“How is that possible? Senior Mo is so outstanding. They are a match made in heaven.”

Ye Xiaotao forcefully shut out the gossips. She didn’t want to listen to them, so she quickened her pace. She wanted to leave.

However, when making her way around the fountain, she stepped on something slippery. For a moment, she lost her balance and fell.

The fountain was right next to her. Ye Xiaotao fell into the fountain.

Water splashed up, and the crowd gasped. “Xiaotao!” Mo Zhengyu shouted and ran over before anyone else.

Upstairs, Ah Chen’s eyes widened when he saw this scene. “Young master, Young madam…”

Before he could finish, Ah Chen felt a black shadow flash in the corner of his eyes. The man beside him had already jumped over the rail from the second floor.

Mo Zhengyu saw that Ye Xiaotao had fallen into the water. He immediately rolled up his sleeves and wanted to jump into the water as well. But someone jumped in before him.

Mo Zhengyu was shocked. He had no idea where that person had come from. And the crowd all covered their mouths and exclaimed, “Oh my goodness, did that person come from the sky?”

“He did. You missed him. That person just jumped down from the sky. The arc of the fall was perfect and beautiful!”

…

Ye Xiaotao knew how to swim. Such a shallow pool was nothing to her. However, she didn’t anticipate the fall. so she drank a few mouthfuls of fountain water.

Once the cold water entered her body, her lower abdomen felt a little uncomfortable. She quickly held her breath and wanted to swim up, but something in the fountain hooked a corner of her skirt.

Ye Xiaotao felt extremely unlucky. She tried hard to pull back her skirt, but she could not. Gradually, she felt that she could not breathe properly.

Was she going to drown here?

She felt very scared because she did not want to die. She had not lived long enough. She was only 20 years old and was still young. It was such a pity to die now.

The most important thing was that she still had a baby in her stomach. If she died, the baby would not be able to come into this world.

Ye Xiaotao’s eyelids became heavy. Her black hair spread out beautifully like seaweed in the water. She was like a little mermaid. She fell into despair. Who would save her?

At this moment, a large palm grabbed her slim wrist. Then, she was pulled into a wide chest. She was brought out of the water.

Ye Xiaotao quickly breathed in the fresh air above the water. Then she coughed out a handful of water.
