The bouquet drew a perfect arc in the air. Everyone raised their heads and held their breaths in anticipation.
At this moment, Ye Xiaotao something tight around her waist. Someone hugged her. Then, a long arm appeared in her line of sight and the bouquet fell into that person’s hand.
Ye Xiaotao looked sideways and saw a handsome face.
Gong Yi.
Gong Yi tightened his grip on her slender waist and pulled her into his embrace. He stuffed the bouquet into her arms and gave an evil smile. “What are you daydreaming about? Did you get bewitched when you saw me?”
Ye Xiaotao…
She rolled her eyes at him.
Where did his confidence come from?
“Young Master Gong, congratulations!” At this moment, her good friend ran over while lifting the hem of her wedding dress. She winked at Ye Xiaotao flirtatiously. “Young Master Gong, Xiaotao, you’ve caught my bouquet. Are you going to get married soon?”
Married??
“I…” Ye Xiaotao wanted to say something.
“Of course! Since you invited us to the wedding, I’ll definitely invite you to our wedding!”Gong Yi raised his eyebrows and leaned over to kiss Ye Xiaotao’s face in front of everyone.
Ye Xiaotao wanted to give him a kick.
“Wow…” The entire place exploded in an uproar. Her good friend and the onlookers applauded and cheered. “Get married! Get married! Get married!”
“President…” Achen, who was standing upstairs, saw the entire scene downstairs. He carefully observed the expression of the man next to him.
Leng Hao stared at the man and woman who were surrounded by the onlookers downstairs. He clenched his fists in his trouser pocket. He used all his strength to prevent himself from jumping down and pulling the two people away.
Without saying anything, he turned around and left.
Achen suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing beside him.
…
Ye Xiaotao got rid of Gong Yi and went to the bathroom. She stood in front of the sink and washed her face with cold water. At this time, she heard someone talking inside the secret compartment—
“Hey, have you seen Ye Xiaotao? She’s back and she’s the bridesmaid for the wedding.”
“How can I not see her? She stole the bride’s limelight just by standing there. Didn’t you see that all the men present were peeking at her? They looked like they wanted to drag her into a small wooden hut and take off her clothes.”
“Haha, why are you so agitated? Is your boyfriend drooling at Ye Xiaotao?”
“Humph, Ye Xiaotao is a seductive vixen. How did she have the nerve to come back? The incident four years ago caused such a huge commotion. Although her father suppressed it, everyone knows that she, Ye Xiaotao, is the third party.”
“Not only that, she even married President Leng and then divorced him. She’s just a loose woman who has been played by someone else before!”
“Now that you mention it, I really sympathize Young Master Gong. Young Master Gong doesn’t lack any women. Yet he insisted on picking one that had been played before and someone around her had died. I can see that the top of his head is all green.”
“Sigh, why are your words so unpleasant? Ye Xiaotao is also very pitiful. Although she was the third party, President Leng doesn’t like her. Back then, when things got out of hand, President Leng didn’t say a word to help her. I also heard that Ye Xiaotao’s child died. At that time, President Leng was in a room with another woman.”
“You’re the only one with a kind heart! However, I heard that her child is already more than six months old. When she underwent induced labor, the child came out to be a chubby and fair son. Do you think this is karma? Haha.”
The women walked out from the secret compartment while chatting and laughing.
They stopped in their tracks abruptly. The smiles on their faces immediately disappeared because they saw Ye Xiaotao who was standing by the washstand.
“Miss… Ye, we… are talking nonsense. You… don’t take it seriously…” The women were trembling with fear. After all, the Ye family was powerful so they only dared to say bad things behind her backs. Now that Ye Xiaotao heard them, they were afraid she would take revenge.
