Chapter 1066 - I Miss Him, A Lot (1/2)

The driver opened the car door, and Father Ye was the first to get out. With an expression full of love, he reprimanded, “Xiaotao, what are you saying? Is this not your home anymore?”

“Well…”

“Nevermind. You’re all grown up, and I don’t have a say in your life anymore. When I learned that you were in danger, I immediately returned from Beijing. But you? You don’t even want to spend one day with me. Leng Hao is the only person on your mind. Nevermind, you can leave me all by myself.” Father Ye sighed and walked towards the three-story house.

Ye Xiaotao felt guilty. She got out of the car and caught up with father Ye and hooked his arm. “Daddy, don’t be angry. I didn’t mean it that way. Daddy is the best. I’ll stay and keep Daddy company.”

Ye Xiaotao acted coquettishly.

Father Ye’s expression softened when he heard that. He tapped the tip of Ye Xiaotao’s little nose. “That’s my girl. I didn’t raise you up in vain. Stay with me for a while. The maid will cook all your favorite food.”

“Mmm. Thank you, daddy.”

…

Ye Xiaotao stayed at father Ye’s place for a month. During this time, father Ye rose early and returned late at night. He was busy with work, so Ye Xiaotao had been bored to death.

She wanted to go back to Leng Hao’s place, but every time she brought up the topic with father Ye, he would always change the topic. Ye Xiaotao feared that she might break his father’s heart, so she refrained from insisting.

The strangest thing for Ye Xiaotao was that Leng Hao didn’t contact her at all the past month. No text messages or phone calls. Ye Xiaotao didn’t go back to Leng Hao’s place, neither did Leng Hao visit her at father Ye’s place.

Ye Xiaotao felt a little uneasy. She laid on her bed and took out her phone. She sent a message to Leng Hao that reads, “Honey, what are you doing?”

She waited for a while, but there was no reply.

Ye Xiaotao sat up. She pouted her pink lips and decided to call Leng Hao’s number. A mechanic female voice said, “Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently busy.”

She was very discouraged. What did Leng Hao mean by this? Did he not miss Ye Xiaotao?

Ye Xiaotao decided that she had to go back to Leng Hao’s place.

She ran downstairs and rushed out of the mansion. However, the maid stopped her. “Miss Ye, where are you going? The master ordered us not to let you out now that you’re obviously pregnant.”

“I… want to go out for a walk. Can’t I do that?”

The maid shook her head. “I have to ask the master first and then send two bodyguards with you on your walk.”

“Forget it. I’ll stay in.” Ye Xiaotao gave up and went upstairs.

Ye Xiaotao returned to her room. She began thinking about what the maid just said. The more she pondered, the more confused she got. Was father Ye grounding her?

Why would father Ye do that?

Ye Xiaotao had been feeling very uneasy lately. Father Ye was acting strange, and so was Leng Hao. Even sister Leng seemed to have disappeared. Ye Xiaotao couldn’t reach Leng Zhiyuan at all.

Ye Xiaotao thought for a moment and came up with an idea.

When the maid wasn’t paying attention, Ye Xiaotao sneaked into the gym on the first floor. She quietly opened the window in the room and jumped out. She took a deep breath of the fresh air outside. She felt great. She was free again.

She ran to the main street, took a taxi, and went straight to Leng Hao’s place.

…

At Leng Hao’s villa.

The maid opened the door and said in a surprised tone, “Young Madam, you’re back! Where have you been all this time?”

Ye Xiaotao walked in. “My father is back, so I stayed with him for a while…” Ye Xiaotao answered while looking around the villa. “Is my husband at home?”
