Chapter 879 - I Will Not Be Treating It Anymore

“I am happy. Of course I am happy.”

Zhou Yao closed his eyes and opened his mouth to suck the red lips that she sent over.

He kissed her all of a sudden. Leng Zhiyuan retreated back, but his firm shoulders were blocking her strongly. She did not manage to slip away. She opened her eyes to look at him, and her small act of retreat made the man raise his eyebrows unhappily.

Leng Zhiyuan found it funny. She stretched her small hand out to touch the stubble on his chin. The stubble pricked her soft fingers, and she felt both painful and soft. It was just…like the feeling that he gave her.

She closed her eyes and responded to him.

They did not know how long they kissed for. Both of them let go, and Zhou Yao’s voice was hoarse as he said, “In the future, you are not allowed to do that anymore.”

“What?”

“Although my shooting skills are very accurate, what are you going to do if I make a slight mistake?” His tone was grim.

“How could that be? You are Major General Zhou. Nobody is able to defeat you.”

He laughed and stretched his hand out to pinch her face as he said, “Stop it! Since you know that I am Major General Zhou, why are you not treating me as Major General Zhou then?”

She was very stubborn normally and liked to talk back to him. When she was angry, she liked to shout at him and tug his ear. In front of her, he was not considered to be a Major General at all.

Leng Zhiyuan knew that she was not gentle compared to other women at all, especially when she was compared to Han Xuan. Han Xuan’s admiration and love for him were all written inside her eyes.

She felt embarrassed as she spat her pink tongue out.

This was still her first time doing such an act like a young girl, spitting her tongue out. His gaze dimmed down, and he stretched his hand out to pull her, wanting to block her red lips.

“Don’t!” She ducked away and did not allow it.

“Wifey!” His face turned black instantly.

Teasing him was pretty fun. Leng Zhiyuan gurgled in laughter as she ducked into his embrace.

Zhou Yao accepted her apology and used both hands to hug her. He lowered his gaze to kiss her forehead as he said, “Why did you want to look for Ye Ziyi?”

She could hear his unhappiness that was very obvious in his tone. That was true. This was a matter regarding life and death, and the first person that she looked for was Ye Ziyi. A chauvinistic man like him would definitely be unable to accept it.

She hugged his waist, and spat out some air as she extremely naturally replied, “I was in the jail cell. I definitely could not touch the people from the Leng and Zhou families. You said that you wanted to rob the jail, but it would have meant death for you to take it into your own hands. Ye Ziyi was my only choice and also the most appropriate. He is meticulous in his work and would be able to do it well. Furthemore, I trust him, given the relationship that we had between us…”

Hah!” The man laughed coldly and interrupted her, “What kind of relationship do you two have? How come I didn’t know about it?”

Leng Zhiyuan’s heart skipped a beat. This man was so jealous!

She raised her head up in his embrace as she said, “Oy, what kind of tone are you using? The time that I knew Ye Ziyi for was not less than the time you knew Han Xuan for, okay? And now, he is the one that saved your wifey. Why are you speaking with this tone of yours?”

“What tone do you want me to have then?” As he spoke, he really started to sound weird. He softened his tone as he said, “Oh, Director Ye, thank you for saving my wife?”

Leng Zhiyuan clenched her fist immediately and hit him as she said, “Forget it. After you say it, if you continue with this problem, I will not care about you anymore!”

Zhou Yao glared at her fiercely before his handsome face was cold. He pulled her into his embrace as he said, “In the future, you are not allowed to contact him!”

“But he saved me…”

“I will go and thank him. Will that be okay then?”

“This is more like it.” Leng Zhiyuan was satisfied as she put her head on his chest.

Both of them hugged one another silently. At this moment, there was nothing that could be compared to the warm sunshine shining down on their faces and the gentleness in their expressions.

“Zhou Yao.” She closed her eyes as she said his name softly.

“Yeah?” he answered.

“How is Han Xuan doing?”

There was no change in Zhou Yao’s expressions, but his words were very nonchalant as he said, “What about her? She’s the same. You don’t have to worry about her. She would not be able to bother you.”

“Then your illness…”

“I am not treating it.” He spat out the five words carelessly.

Leng Zhiyuan opened her eyes immediately. She wanted to raise her head up to look at him, but his large palm held her head down and did not allow her to raise her head up. He made her lie in his embrace and forced her to listen to the powerful heartbeat.

“Are you serious?” she asked.

“Yeah.” He nodded his head.

“Han Xuan…”

“Han Xuan wants me to marry her. Would you agree to it?” he asked her directly.

Leng Zhiyuan’s long eyelashes fluttered. She knew that this was the case. She stretched her small hand out to hug his waist tight, and she shook her head and said, “I am not agreeing to it.”

“Yeah, I also do not agree. You are mine, and I am only yours.” He used strength to kiss her hair.

“Zhou Yao, then are we going to wait for you to die slowly?”

“Why are you speaking so badly?” He pinched her soft waist as he said, “You are afraid now?”

“I am not scared!”

“If you are not scared, then don’t speak nonsense! Han Xuan did not find a cure to the poison that I have, and she can only toy with my life. If I am really going about the last lap in my life, I do not want to be tied down by anyone.”

Tied down… Tied down…

Leng Zhiyuan understood and did not need him to explain too much.

“Okay, I will always be by your side.”

…

The next morning, when Leng Zhiyuan woke up, Zhou Yao was already not around anymore. There was a note that was left on the bed stand. It was his messy handwriting — Wife, I’m going back home. I will be back soon.

He went back to the Zhou home.

Leng Zhiyuan put the note away, then she washed up simply. The helpers prepared breakfast and sent it over to her room. The two men in the house did not allow her to move about as she wanted to.

“Where is Young Mistress?” Leng Zhiyuan did not see Ye Xiaotao around, so she asked the helpers.

“Miss, Young Master was afraid that Young Mistress would be reckless and noisy at home and disturb you, so Young Master brought Young Mistress away by car early in the morning.”

Brought her away?

Leng Zhiyuan felt that from some aspect, her older brother was pretty similar to Zhou Yao, and they were all so…rough.

After she ate breakfast, Leng Zhiyuan stayed inside the room to rest, and she stood on the balcony to look at the scenery in the distance.

Knock, knock. Ah Chen walked inside.

“Young Miss.”

“Yeah.” Leng Zhiyuan held the railings with both hands and did not turn her head back as she said, “How is Ye Ziyi doing on his end?”

“Young Miss, Ye Ziyi has been very quiet on his side, but I just got news. Ye Ziyi was originally going to fly to Africa for a meeting, but the upper management suddenly cancelled his command and gave his role in the African meeting to his political enemy. In the past few years, he had always been the darling of the top management and was never treated so coldly. Hah! I am afraid that this meeting in Africa is only the beginning.”

Leng Zhiyuan curled the corners of her lips up into a smile as she said, “That night outside the jail, I purposely called out for Ye Ziyi’s name in front of Director Yang. Actually, Ye Ziyi had not come, and it seems that Director Yang has already started to take action. Upper management will take back all of Ye Ziyi’s powers and start to investigate him.”

Ah Chen looked at Leng Zhiyuan’s back profile and could not help but put his thumb up as he said, “Young Miss, you are really so pro with this step.”

Leng Zhiyuan wrapped both arms around her waist as she said, “Older Brother is worried that my appearance would stir up trouble again. Actually, with the situation right now, there is no one who would dare to stir things up. Don’t even mention the Zhou and Leng families. My death certificate has Director Yang’s signature on it, and I dragged Ye Ziyi into this also. Ye Ziyi has strong roots among the top management. He has complicated powers, and I have already wrecked havoc in everything. Even if the people on top want to fight me, it would not be easy for them to do so.”
