My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

Chapter 1048: You Are Also a Coward

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. action

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.

She immediately frowned in discomfort.

At this moment, a low and deep mockery rang in her ears. “So you’re also a coward.”

What was the person saying? Who wasn’t afraid of death?

Ye Xiaotao slowly turned her small head to look at the man beside her. A delicate and handsome face appeared in her line of sight. The man was admiring her current embarrassing state with narrowed eyes.

However, Ye Xiaotao did not have the time to care about that because she was in shock. She looked at the man in disbelief. “It’s... you?”

Leng Hao.

Why was he here?

Ye Xiaotao could not believe her eyes.

Was it him who saved her?

Leng Hao carried her out of the pool. He ignored her silly question.

Then, a small, cold hand approached his face. The girl pinched his cheek with force, leaving the man in pain.

Leng Hao did not think it was that painful, but he had the urge to throw the girl back into the pool. He pursed his thin lips and asked unhappily, “What are you doing?”

“I’m just checking if... this is a dream. Am I dead? Did you chase me all the way to heaven? But you’re angry, so... It’s not a dream. You saved me, and I’m still alive. Ha...”

She pinched his face to see if it was a dream?

Then why didn’t she pinch herself?

Leng Hao raised his eyebrows, and his thin lips curved upwards. Sometimes, her foolishness was quite cute, and it made people want to laugh. “Let go!” He wanted to push her little hand away.

But she withdrew her hand first. The girl fell into his arms weakly.

Leng Hao frowned and looked at her. Her face was pale, and even her lips were turning purple. She began to tremble in his arms.

“What’s wrong? is your stomach hurting, or are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?” Leng Hao felt his heart being gently torn.

However, the pain was fleeting, and Leng Hao did not grasp it.

Ye Xiaotao shook her head and tried to crawl into his arms. “So... cold.”

“Of course, you fell into the fool? Bear with it!”

Ye Xiaotao’s hands and feet were cold. Her long eyelashes fluttered twice and she closed her eyes gently. She wanted to scold him back. She was already suffering, couldn’t he be a little gentler?

But forget it, her whole body was so cold that she didn’t even have the strength to speak.

At this time, Ah Chen ran over and covered Ye Xiaotao with a thick blanket. “Young master, the hotel room is ready. It’s on the 18th floor...”

Leng Hao left with Ye Xiaotao in his arms.

...

“Young master Leng...” realizing that something big had happened here, the hotel manager immediately rushed over. He greeted Ah Chen when he saw that Leng Hao had already left, “I’m sorry. We’re sorry that Ms. Ye got injured due to our negligence. I’m sorry, I’m sorry...”

Ah Chen glanced at the hotel manager and then walked to the spot where Ye Xiaotao fell.

He scratched the white porcelain floor with his shoe. The spot was covered with oil.
