Chapter 1075 - Get Me My Cigarette and Lighter

“Crystal shoes? Wow, they’re beautiful.” Ye Xiaotao’s eyes lit up. “I think I’ve seen this pair of shoes in a fashion magazine before. They are made of pure natural tourmaline. They’re super expensive.”

“Do you like them?”

“Yes! Honey, help me put them on.” Ye Xiaotao sat on the swing next to the Christmas tree.

Leng Hao walked forward and knelt on one knee. He reached out to take off the tasseled riding boots on her feet and held her little feet in his palm.

When the warmth from his fingertips reached her soft feet, Ye Xiaotao felt her whole body go soft. She could melt.

Every girl dreamed of her prince riding a white horse and then putting on a pair of crystal shoes for her. Ye Xiaotao felt like a princess at this moment.

She was his princess.

But when her feet were in the shoes, the smile on Ye Xiaotao’s face froze. The crystal shoes were too big. They were a size 8, Bai Lingyun’s size.

Ye Xiaotao was a size 6.

This pair of crystal shoes did not fit her feet at all.

“How is it?” Leng Hao looked up.

Ye Xiaotao’s eyes met the man’s deep blue eyes. He was asking her gently. She also saw her father standing in the distance, watching them, from the corner of her eyes.

She immediately smiled brightly, stood up, and spun around a few times. “I love this pair of crystal shoes…”

“Good.” Leng Hao reached out and stroked her hair.

At this time, two luxury cars were parked on the lawn. Father Ye’s two friends came. They got out of the car and were very happy to see Xiaotao. “Xiaotao, long time no see. You’ve grown, and you’re becoming more and more beautiful.”

“Uncle Zhao, uncle Sun, Merry Christmas,” Ye Xiaotao said sweetly.

Uncle Zhao and uncle Sun smiled happily and then looked at Leng Hao. “Hello, young master Leng.”

Leng Hao nodded.

“Haha, Father Ye walked over with a smile. “Why are you two so late? It’s Christmas today. Let’s have an all-nighter. I asked my son-in-law to come over and accompany you two.”

Uncle Zhao patted father Ye’s shoulder, “Look at your flushed face and refreshed look. I’m sure Xiaotao and Leng Hao showed you a good time. Since you invited us, we will go and get some cash first. We’re afraid that your son-in-law will join hands with you. We don’t want to lose our underwear.”

Father Ye laughed out loud. “At least you’re sensible. Leng Hao, let’s go in and play mahjong.”

Father Ye and uncle Zhao went in first. Leng Hao looked at Ye Xiaotao and said, “I’m going in too. It’s cold outside. Come in soon.”

“Mmm.” Ye Xiaotao nodded obediently and said in a sweet voice, “Go join dad first. You don’t have to stay up all night. I’ll find you later.”

Leng Hao entered the house.

Ye Xiaotao stood where she was. She looked down at the crystal shoes on her feet. The crystal shoes were really beautiful. She liked them very much. Most importantly, they were Leng Hao’s first gift to her.

She treasured them very much.

However, the crystal shoes were too big; size 8. This fact always reminded Ye Xiaotao of Bai Lingyun…

Did he always buy size 8 shoes?

Was it a habit?

When a woman became a habit in a man’s life…

Ye Xiaotao sat back on the swing. She swung back and forth a few times in boredom. The red sweater made her skin look like snow. The night wind carried her hair in the air. She was like a fairy floating in the air.

“Xiaotao,” Auntie Miao ran over to her. “It’s so cold outside. Hurry up and come inside. The fruits are ready. Go eat some and rest early.”

“Okay.” Ye Xiaotao took off the crystal shoes on her feet.

“Xiaotao, aren’t those crystal shoes too big for you? They don’t fit you.”

Ye Xiaotao was stunned. Women were different from men. Women were born with a keen eye for the size of shoes. Auntie Miao could tell at a glance.

“Yes, the crystal shoes are big, but I like them very much.” Ye Xiaotao patted the dust off the crystal shoes with her small hands, and then put them back into the gift bag. She held the gift bag in her arms like a treasure.

Auntie Miao smiled lovingly. She said, “As long as you like it.”

…

In the living room, four men were playing mahjong.

Leng Hao put out liu-wan. Uncle Sun was about to play when father Ye shouted, “Don’t move, my turn.”

After father Ye played, he put out a liu-tong.

Uncle Zhao wanted to say something, but Leng Hao took the liu-tong and said, “Excuse me.”

It was Father Ye’s turn again. He took a tile for the set and said, “Oh! I win.”

Uncle Zhao and uncle Sun showed their hands and paid for their loss. They shook their heads and said, “We are in no luck tonight. Your son-in-law is doing you great favors. Young master Leng, you can’t use our money to please your father-in-law.”

Leng Hao pursed his lips and smiled. He didn’t say anything.

Father Ye happily took the money. “Alright, alright. It’s just some pocket money. We can’t make things difficult for the junior.”

Uncle Zhao and uncle Sun looked at each other and said jokingly, “Look, they truly are a family. We’re in a boat of thieves, and our money is in danger. Haha.”

The four of them continued to play mahjong. At this time, Uncle Zhao thought of someone and said, “We haven’t seen old man Gong recently. In the past, the four of us sat together at a table and he was the shrewdest. He always won the most money.”

“That’s right.” Uncle Sun glanced at father Ye, “The last time I saw this old man Gong, he seemed to have some complaints about you. Oh right, I heard that the little master Gong went to France. Last month, little master Gong developed an online game app and sold it to Silicon Valley in the United States. He earned 200 million dollars. Haha, this little master Gong is handsome and likes to play. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”

Uncle Sun wanted to say more, but father Ye kicked him under the table. Father Ye coughed and said, “Focus on the Mahjong game.”

Uncle Sun and uncle Zhao suddenly remembered something and sneaked a glance at Leng Hao.

Leng Hao’s expression was normal. No one could read his mind. Leng Hao had actually seen Gong Yi in some documents in the past.

Gong Yi was the man that Ye Xiaotao had run away from.

“Honey,” a sweet fragrance invaded Leng Hao’s senses. He felt something soft on his left shoulder; it was Ye Xiaotao’s arm. “How’s the game going?”

Uncle Zhao smiled. “Your daddy has all our money.”

“Yes, your daddy must split it with your honey.”

Ye Xiaotao’s eyes lit up when she heard that. She looked at Leng Hao. Did he cheat?

Leng Hao turned to look at Ye Xiaotao. His eyes were a little dark, and his voice was deep and masculine. “Ger me my cigarette and lighter. They’re in my suit.”

Did Leng Hao want to smoke?

He rarely smoked. Why would he want to smoke now?

“Oh.” Ye Xiaotao got up and ran to the living room sofa to check his suit pocket.
