My Dangerous Billionaire Husband - Chapter 1084

Chapter 1084: I Can’t Make It

Ye Xiaotao looked at the couple sitting next to her. The girlfriend pinched her boyfriend’s ear while glaring at Ye Xiaotao fiercely. Although the boyfriend comforted his girlfriend with sweet words, he peeked at Ye Xiaotao lustfully.

Ye Xiaotao was speechless. What kind of bad luck was this?

Was it wrong to be beautiful?

Ye Xiaotao didn’t want to let this ruin her good mood. Not only was this boyfriend staring at her, but many men in the hall were also peeking in her direction. Ye Xiaotao stood up and sat in an inconspicuous corner.

She waited for Leng Hao wholeheartedly.

…

In the office.

Leng Hao received a text from Ye Xiaotao. He smiled and put down the pen in his hand. To make it to their date at the movie theater, he canceled all his schedules.

He motioned to get up.

At this moment, there was a knock on his door. Ah Chen came in. “Young master…”

“How’s the investigation of the incident at school yesterday?”

“It’s done. The old man riding the tricycle and the doctor in the infirmary both said that the accident was not planned. I’ve investigated Miss Bai’s activity in the past half a month. There’s nothing strange. So far, there’s no evidence to prove that the accident has anything to do with Miss Bai.”

Leng Hao nodded. “I see.”

He left the office.

Then the phone in his pocket rang. It was a call.

“Hello…” he answered the call. The person on the other end said a few words. Leng Hao’s expression turned grave. “… Okay, I’ll be there soon.”

“Young master, what’s wrong?”

“There’s a problem with Su Hao’s construction site. We need to rush over immediately.”

“But young master, don’t you have a date with the young madam? Su Hao is in the suburbs. You don’t have time for a round trip.”

“I’ll call her…”

…

Ye Xiaotao’s phone rang. When she saw that it was a call from Leng Hao, she immediately picked it up with a smile. “Hello, honey, are you here?”

“Xiaotao, there’s an emergency on my end. I can’t make it. Cancel the movie.” Leng Hao said in a deep voice.

The smile on Ye Xiaotao’s face quickly disappeared .”… oh, I see…”

Leng Hao could hear the disappointment in her voice, so he coaxed her gently. “Don’t be sad. We’ll go on a movie date sometime in the future. I’ll try to come home early tonight for you.”

Ye Xiaotao forced a smile “Okay, honey. Go back to work. There are plenty of opportunities for us to watch a movie in the future. Love you.”

Leng Hao hung up the phone.

Ye Xiaotao put her phone into her pocket. She looked at the popcorn and the two movie tickets in her hand. She looked lonely. To be honest, she was very disappointed.

This was their first movie date. She had been excited all day long and even dressed up beautifully. She didn’t expect him to cancel the date.

Ye Xiaotao placed popcorn in her mouth. Mmm, it tasted sweet.

But why did she feel that it wasn’t as delicious as she had imagined?

Then, she heard an announcement, “the XXX Movie at 4:30 pm had begun. Please check-in at the gate.

Ye Xiaotao looked at the entrance of the movie hall. She got up slowly and walked to the gate.

…

Leng Hao and Ah Chen rushed to Su Hao. The accident at the construction site had been resolved after two and a half hours of negotiations. Leng Hao wanted to rush back home immediately.

His Mrs. Leng was unhappy. He knew it.

“Young master, I’ll go get the car.”

“Mmm.”

Ah Chen went to get the car. Leng Hao looked down at the steel watch on his wrist. At this time, he heard call his name in a surprised tone, “Leng Hao.”

Leng Hao turned around and saw eight or nine people in front of him. They were all his university classmates. The one in the front was his mentor, Professor Liu. Beside professor Liu stood… Bai Lingyun.

“Professor Liu…” Leng Hao was very surprised. These people remind ed him of his youthful days at the university.

“Young master Leng, long time no see. What a pleasant surprise to run into you here today.”

“Yes, Young master Leng. We came with Professor Liu for a lecture. It’s such a coincidence that you’re here too.”

Everyone surrounded Leng Hao. Someone suggested, “This is a nice surprise. Why don’t we have a meal together at a nearby hotel.”

Leng Hao didn’t answer immediately.

Seeing him like this, Professor Liu asked, “What’s the matter, Leng Hao? You don’t have time? Forget it, you’re all doing well now. No one is willing to spend time with an old man like me…”

“Professor Liu, what are you talking about? Young master Leng, what urgent matters could you possibly have? Isn’t it just a meal with Professor Liu? Why are you so hesitant?”

At this time, Bai Lingyun smiled brightly. “Forget it, don’t force him. Maybe he really doesn’t have time…”

“No, let’s have a meal together,” Leng Hao said.

…

The group arrived at a nearby five-star hotel and asked for a private room.

The luxurious private room was well-lit, and the dishes on the table were all delicious. There was also a limited edition bottle of wine.

“Come, Let’s raise a glass to celebrate our first meal in ten years!”

Leng Hao picked up the wine glass and everyone cheered.

Then, everyone put down their wine glasses. Someone laughed and said, “Young master Leng, Lingyun, what’s going on between the two of you? Didn’t you say that you were going to have a wedding this year? Why haven’t we received an invitation yet? I’ve already prepared a red envelope for your wedding.”

“That’s right, young master Leng, Lingyun. Back then, the two of you were the model couple in our school. Back then, your relationship made us all jealous. Now, we’ve all got kids. But you guys haven’t made a move yet.”

“You can’t say that. Maybe Lingyun is carrying his child. Haha…” Everyone laughed.

Bai Lingyun’s face was a little red. She glanced at Leng Hao and felt happy.

It was as if they were university students again. At that time, they were each other’s first love. The first date, the first time they held hands, the first kiss… when she thought about it all now, her heart still palpitated.

Later, after graduation, she chose to go abroad. Now, she regretted it. She could only blame herself for being too young at that time. She was attracted by those well-dressed young masters of the upper class. Compared to the sweet words and romantic tenderness of those men, she felt that Leng Hao was like a piece of wood. Her heart began to grow wild and she broke up with him numerous times.

Now that she was no longer young, she had also seen through those young masters who just wanted to play with her and coax her into bed. In the past ten years, she grew to miss how kindly Leng Hao treated her.

Leng Hao was the man that she could entrust her life to.

Although Leng Hao was now married to Ye Xiaotao, Bai Lingyun was not reconciled. She vowed to snatch Leng Hao back.

“Hao!” Bai Lingyun held Leng Hao’s hand in a daze.

Leng Hao glanced at Bai Lingyun. Bai Lingyun’s gaze was just like how it was many years ago. She looked at him with admiration and love, as if she was infatuated by him.
