Leng Zhiyuan used force to turn her head to the side. Her entire body was stiff as he got closer to her.
Zhou Yao buried his tall nose into her hair. Her hair was very fragrant and very pleasant-smelling. He took two deep breaths, but it seemed that it was not enough for him, and he continued to sniff.
Looking just like a…puppy.
“Zhou Yao, are you a pervert or not?” Leng Zhiyuan was furious as she scolded him loudly.
“Pervert?” Zhou Yao laughed before he came to her small snow-white earlobe and said, “It seems that Mrs. Zhou has not seen what a pervert is like before. Let’s…play with one another then.”
As he spoke, he opened his mouth to suck her small earlobe.
Leng Zhiyuan had not been treated like that, and she quickly felt extremely itchy. She immediately crunched her body up as she tried to duck away, and the moment she moved, she realized that the blankets started to slip down again.
“Stop! Stop! Zhou Yao, I am not playing anymore!” She did not dare to move anymore and quickly stopped him with her words.
It was only then that Zhou Yao stopped. He felt that teasing her was fun, and he lowered his gaze down to have a look at her exquisite features. The steam from the bath made her small face red, and her small lips were fresh and attractive.
“Give me a kiss.” His voice was hoarse as he ordered her.
Both of their faces were against one another’s. Leng Zhiyuan tried to step back and realized that her head was already against the wall. She had nowhere else to hide, and her nostrils were all filled with the strong masculine scent of his body. She turned her head and said, “I am not going to kiss you!”
“You are really not kissing me? Then I am going to kiss you.” He went towards her lips.
Leng Zhiyuan was still struggling at the start, but her hands were trapped. She did not have any clothes beneath the blankets, and it was useless for her to struggle. What she got in return was him using strength in his lips, and after a while, she felt that her lips were all numb.
And after that, she decided to be obedient and stopped moving as she quietly allowed him to kiss her.
But she was unwilling to open her mouth.
Her quietness already made Zhou Yao delighted. Zhou Yao carefully tasted her small cherry lips that were just like jelly. His mind suddenly went back to her two rows of white teeth that were exposed when she was being glib with her tongue, and he immediately had a thought appear in his mind. He wanted to kiss her properly…
He parted her lips and went to kiss her more.
Leng Zhiyuan’s ears were all red and hot. She did not know that a kiss could also be so…shameless, and he totally…did not have any limits.
“That’s enough!” she said softly.
It was only then that Zhou Yao let go of her. His dark gaze was all lit up and abnormally hot. He stared at her face as he lustfully said, “Mrs, Zhou, say it now. Do you like me or not?”
Do you like me?
Did she like him?
Leng Zhiyuan did not expect him to question her so directly. Actually, she long had an answer and totally did not have to contemplate at all as she said, “I do not.”
Zhou Yao’s eyes had a flash of disappointment. He curled his lips up and said, “Do you really not like me at all?”
“I do not like you at all, Major General Zhou. Didn’t I say it very clearly? You are not my type. Similarly, don’t you also have Han Xuan…”
“Nonsense!” He cursed out immediately.
She was just thinking about it. Why was his temper so good today? She said that she did not like him conservatively, and he still had his cheeky smiling expressions on his face. This was good now. He exposed his natural instincts.
He probably had wanted to scold her a long time ago.
“You know Han Xuan’s identity. That is a whole separate issue on its own. Don’t try to mix them together!”
His tone was very firm, and it seemed that he really had a clear conscience in his heart when she listened to it, but Leng Zhiyuan did not know how he drew the line. He probably also did not know that men and women looked at problems from a different angle.
Which woman on earth could look on as the man that she liked went shopping with another girl and sucked poison out for her? He’d probably known Han Xuan…for almost…10 years now.
Was he not able to tell the feelings that Han Xuan had in her eyes?
If there was a day when Han Xuan wanted him to marry her, what would he do then?
Leng Zhiyuan became silent. Zhou Yao was still very close to her. He lowered his long, thick eyelashes and licked his dry lips as he said, “I just do not know what you like about that Ye Ziyi? He looks warm and bright like sunshine and knows how to play the piano? Those tricks are to fool small girls, and it is totally not reliable at all. What is bad about me, huh?”
He asked her directly.
Leng Zhiyuan froze for a moment, and she knew that he was very strong. He was very chauvinistic in his thinking. She’d already rejected him like that. Other than cursing out loud, he probably should have turned around and left, but she did not expect him to say these words.
Was he…trying to persuade her to stay?
But that day in the Zhou home, he had already gone mad and said that it was him who was blind.
“I…” Leng Zhiyuan wanted to continue speaking, but suddenly, the sound of someone knocking on the door rang out in the air. Knock, knock. Xiao Zhi’s voice followed after that. “Major General.”
Their conversation was interrupted, and Zhou Yao slowly let go of her. He had a look at her before he stood up and left.
…
Leng Zhiyuan sat down on the bed alone as she daydreamed for a moment. She then put on her clothes, and she did not know why, but she felt that his scent was still lingering on her body.
Knock, knock! The sound of someone knocking on the door rang out again. It was Ah Chen, and he said, “Young Miss, there is a development.”
Leng Zhiyuan’s gaze froze before she quickly walked over to open the door.
“Young Miss, Scorpion sent someone to send a note over, and the contents of the note say that Han Xuan is in his hands. Scorpion wants Major General Zhou to give him those flowers in exchange for Han Xuan.”
Leng Zhiyuan was not surprised at all. She directly asked him, “What did Major General Zhou’s side say?”
“Son-in-law…” Ah Chen was careful as he glanced at Leng Zhiyuan’s expressions.
“What’s wrong?”
“Young Miss, Son-in-law has suddenly fainted.”
Things were not good; the snake venom was in effect now.
Leng Zhiyuan dashed off immediately.
…
Leng Zhiyuan ran into the base quickly, and she saw that Zhou Yao’s face was pale as he lay down on the bed. He was already in a coma and was unable to respond. The 12 elite soldiers of the Flaming Forces were all gathered around the bed.
The doctor shook his head continuously and said, “This kind of snake venom is very rarely seen. I have already used herbal medicine and temporarily contained this type of poison, but if there is no cure, the patient won’t be able to live for very long…”
“What?” Director Wang had a grave expression on his face and continued, “How could Major General Zhou get poisoned? Scorpion’s conditions are already presented on the table. We have to hand the flowers over in an hour. What should we do?”
Director Wang looked over at Leng Zhiyuan, and he took a step forward as he said, “Miss Leng, you came in time.”
Those Flaming Forces Soldiers all respected Leng Zhiyuan greatly due to the time in the back of the mountain, and they all had good feelings about her. They all stood up quickly and saluted her. “Older Sister-in-law!”
Ah Dong stood at one side and did not say anything.
Leng Zhiyuan nodded her head before she asked Director Wang, “Did Major General Zhou say anything after getting news from Scorpion?”
“He did. At that time, we were coincidentally discussing our plans here, and Major General Zhou was calm. He probably expected all of this to happen. Major General Zhou asked me to order people to pack all of the flowers up, put them in the car, and prepare to do a trade with Scorpion.”
Leng Zhiyuan listened and raised her thin eyebrows, and she did not respond right away.
Someone could not bear with it any longer as he suddenly said, “Miss Leng, what are you still waiting for? Major General has already prepared to do what Scorpion said and exchange the flowers for Miss Xuan Xuan. Why are you still hesitating? Could you actually not want to save Miss Xuan Xuan?”
Leng Zhiyuan raised her head up to look at the person who was speaking. It was Ah Dong, she curled her lips up into a cold smile as she said, “Saving the person is not my mission. My mission is to protect the flowers and to get rid of Scorpion!”
“Miss Leng, what do you mean right now? Major General is in a coma and is unable to wake up. You want to take the opportunity to not save Miss Xuan Xuan? Are you wishing trouble upon Miss Xuan Xuan?” Ah Dong was extremely emotional as he shouted.
