Chapter 876: I Want You To Marry Me
Zhou Yao enjoyed the woman taking the lead. Over the past few days, his heart was all empty, but now that he was hugging her, his lips were full of her sweetness, and his entire heart was full now.
He kissed her for a long time. She let go of him slowly, but her small hands were still hugging his neck. Both of their noses were nudging one another, and they looked extremely intimate.
“Wifey, you don’t have to worry. I would have come to save you.” Leng Zhiyuan was drunk as she suddenly heard the man speak in a soft hoa.r.s.e voice.
She froze and wanted to push him away quickly.
But his large palm was strong as he pinned the back of her head. He forced her to maintain this kind of intimate position as others looked at them.
“What are you doing?” she asked softly.
“This time that I got poisoned, someone would definitely have to take responsibility. You spared the Leng family and distanced yourself from the Zhou family. Didn’t you prepare to shoulder all of the responsibility yourself? Both you and I are clear about the consequences. The people on top would order their…final orders very soon. This time, you would not have an alternative path.” As he spoke, Zhou Yao kissed her red lips, and slowly curled the corners of his lips up as he said, “But you don’t have to be afraid. I would definitely have come to rescue you!”
Leng Zhiyuan’s features all became cold, as she said, “You were thinking of breaking me out of jail? Zhou Yao, you have gone mad!”
“Yeah.” Zhou Yao closed his eyes as he nodded his head. “I have gone mad; I have gone mad for you. I have been a soldier for so many years now. I have always known the responsibilities of a soldier, but other than a soldier, I am still myself. This time, I only want to live for myself. Wifey, I cannot live without you.”
Leng Zhiyuan was entirely shocked. She knew this man well. This man was nonchalant and wild on the outside, but he hid an extremely pa.s.sionate heart inside. The Zhou family had served for generations, and he was no exception. He gave all of his youth to the elite soldiers, and he was a true masculine man.
But right now, he actually had thought of breaking her out. She knew that he would think of all possibilities. He was familiar with the environment here, and it was not impossible for him to rescue her.
But this decision would betray the Zhou family and betray his beliefs.
Leng Zhiyuan hugged his neck tight before she kissed his cheek as she said, “There is no need for that. I would not allow myself to die like that. I have already looked for Ye Ziyi for help.”
Zhou Yao’s tall figure froze, and he wanted to pull her away immediately.
But Leng Zhiyuan hugged him tight. There was a cold and pure smile on her lips as she said, “I actually did not plan to tell you this, but if I do not let you know, you would definitely come and disrupt my plans when that time comes, I am thinking of the same thing as you. We have to be firm right now, and only then can we succeed. Ye Ziyi would send a team who is ready to die to come and save me. When that time comes, I will hand my life over into your hands.”
“What do you mean?”
Leng Zhiyuan let go of his neck and held his right hand. She placed his right hand on her heart as she said, “Here.”
Zhou Yao’s gaze became sharp as he looked at her.
Cough, cough. Director Yang, who was outside, could not control himself as he coughed out loud, and he said, “You have already seen her. You two have been at it for half an hour now. Come out quickly.”
Leng Zhiyuan let go of his hand before she nodded her head at him.
Zhou Yao pursed his thin lips. His intense gaze scanned Leng Zhiyuan before he turned around.
When he walked over to the main gates, the woman behind him called out, “Zhou Yao.”
Zhou Yao turned back and looked at her.
Leng Zhiyuan smiled slowly before she gently said, “Zhou Yao, I love you.”
I love you…
Zhou Yao froze.
Leng Zhiyuan was cheeky as she blinked her eyes, and she said, “Like that, when you are in pain again, you can think of me. Would you feel better like that?”
Zhou Yao stared at the woman, and his eyes got red quickly. His large hands that were drooped down by his sides were clenched into tight fists. He controlled himself again and again, and it was only like that that he could control himself and not go to hug her, and not to kiss her…
He quickly turned around and walked out.
…
Zhou Yao returned to the ward. Director Yang threw the gold badge in front of him as he said, “I will forgive you once for being muddle headed while you are badly injured, but there will not be a second chance, you young chap. You’d better be more proper in the future!”
Zhou Yao picked the gold badge up before he held it in his palm, and he plainly said, “I want to go back to the base.”
“That won’t do. You need to stay here for observations.”
“Hah, observations?” Zhou Yao curled his lips up into a self-mocking smile. He turned his gaze over to the side to look over at Director Yang as he said, “I am waiting for death here, right?”
“You!” Director Yang was both angered and in pain. He did not know what else to say, and he left in a huff.
The Flaming Forces soldiers continued to stand guard outside. Only Zhou Yao and Han Xuan were left inside the room. Han Xuan looked at the man seated down on the bed, and she took a few steps forward to say, “Older Brother Zhou, you don’t have to worry. I will not let you die.”
Zhou Yao raised his head up slowly, and he looked her in the eye as he said, “Can you undo the poison for me?”
This question was too direct. Han Xuan froze for a moment before she shook her head and said, “For now, I am unable to come up with the cure, but with me around, I can help you to reduce the pain you feel during the attacks by a large amount. Furthermore, I can guarantee the safety of your life. What I need is time, I believe that I can concote the cure to save you.”
Zhou Yao’s long leg was straight out on the bed. His other leg was curled up. He took his right hand to place the gold badge on his kneecap. Although he was wearing the hospital gown, he looked lazy.
“There is no need for that. I will arrange for someone to send you back soon. In the future, you don’t have to worry about my matters.”
Send her back?
Han Xuan’s irises contracted, and she was extremely emotional as she said, “Older Brother Zhou, I am the only person who can guarantee that you will be fine right now. It is also to say that, leaving me, the poison in your body would infect all of the blood in your body, and you do not have many days to live. Older Brother Zhou, since this is the case, do you still want to chase me away?”
Zhou Yao looked at Han Xuan. At this moment, the bright rays of sun shone down on his handsome face from outside the window, and he had a mesmerizing glow to him, but there was no warmth on his face at all. He moved his thin lips and said, “Han Xuan, what do you want?”
Han Xuan froze and instinctively took a step backwards.
His gaze was just like Leng Zhiyuan’s. It was so clear and sharp, and when it landed on her face, it was just as if he could look through all of her thoughts inside her heart.
“Han Xuan, you are the only person who can save me now. This is such a good chance. You wouldn’t be without your wishes. Say it out loud for me to hear.”
His tone was very calm, and it was just as if he was speaking normally, but when it rang out in her ears, it was extremely mocking. It turned out in his eyes, she would also have conditions if she were to save him.
And the most pathetic thing was that she really did have conditions.
She had thought of this condition ever since the moment she came back.
“You were in a fake marriage with Leng Zhiyuan, and now everyone in T City knows about it. I want you to split with her and be together with me. Older Brother Zhou, I want you to marry me.”
The moment she finished speaking, Zhou Yao did not have any alarm on his face. He curled the corners of his lips up, and it was just as if he was smiling but not. He stood up from the bed and went to take the military uniform that was on the hanger as he said, “I will ask someone to send you back tomorrow.”
“Older Brother Zhou, don’t you want your life anymore?” Han Xuan’s entire body was shaking.
Zhou Yao’s footsteps came to a pause as he said, “I want my life, but I want…more…”
He did not say it out loud, but his features were all soft now. Han Xuan forced herself to turn her gaze over to the side. Her tears were spinning around in her eyes. She knew that he wanted…Leng Zhiyuan more than anything.
