Chapter 898: Their Time As Lovers Was Already Over
Just like that, everyone watching had an unfriendly expression in their eyes as they looked at Leng Zhiyuan. Everyone whispered to one another and did not have a good impression of Leng Zhiyuan.
Leng Zhiyuan was attacked by everyone present, but she was very calm. Her slim waist was upright as she looked at Han Xuan calmly. She was kneeling and bowing down. Could she just let her go after she bowed down?
Then who would let her go, and who would let go of Zhou Yao?
Han Xuan would never understand that she’s the one who couldn’t let go!
At this moment, the quick and steady sound of footsteps that rang out, and a deep masculine voice followed after that made others feel at ease. He said, “Han Xuan, what tantrum are you throwing right now?”
Leng Zhiyuan turned her gaze over to the side to look. Zhou Yao had arrived.
Zhou Yao was dressed in all black. The wind on the rooftop was too great. It made the black leather jacket all puffy. His long, straight legs stopped by her side. He looked at her as he softly asked her, “Are you okay?”
His expressions were all icy cold, and his firm features were all tight and stern. His thin lips were pursed together till they were white. Only his dark gaze that was focused on her had an ounce of warmth, and that was because he was worried about her.
Leng Zhiyuan curled the corners of her lips up before she shook her head and said, “I am alright.”
Han Xuan saw Zhou Yao caring for Leng Zhiyuan the moment he came. Both of them were extremely loving in front of her. The hand that she placed before her chest drooped down without any strength before it was tightly clenched into a fist again.
Zhou Yao turned his gaze over to the side to look at her. His heavy black army boots took a step forward before they were fixed on the floor as he said, “Han Xuan, what did you come here for? I was the one who agreed to the surgery. It was for you to keep your life, and we had no other choice other than sacrificing your legs.”
Han Xuan’s tears fell down one drip at a time. At this moment, her emotions were calm. She looked over at Zhou Yao slowly. Her voice was all hoa.r.s.e as she asked him, “I am willing to die and do not want to be disabled. This point, Older Brother Zhou, you should be clear about that. Since you have agreed to the surgery, then you should also make arrangements for the rest of my life. Older Brother Zhou, let me ask you, in the future, who is going to take care of me? Who will take responsibility for me?”
Zhou Yao’s features already had a layer of ice on them. After a few seconds, he said, “I will.”
“Okay.” Han Xuan nodded her head and said, “In what capacity?”
“The things that your older brother Han Hong could do for you, I can do the same.”
The man’s simple reply completely shattered all of Han Xuan’s hopes. She had a last glance at Zhou Yao before she closed her eyes as she said, “Older Brother Zhou, you should know that this is not what I wanted.”
She turned over and jumped down directly from the rooftop.
Everyone present on the scene was shocked, and even Leng Zhiyuan took a step forward. She’d always known that Han Xuan’s character was strong and fierce, so she did not expect for it to be to such an extent that she would jump off just like that.
Zhou Yao, who was by her side, had already run over like a bolt of lightning. He pounced over to grab Han Xuan’s hand.
Han Xuan’s was hanging in mid air from the 28th level.
Zhou Yao firmly grabbed her hand and felt that the hand that was in his palm was slipping downwards. His eyes were all red as he stared at Han Xuan and said, “Give your other hand to me.”
Han Xuan was not fearful at all at this moment. Her life was already all dark now. Having lost the man in front of her now, then she was all the more willing to die.
She curled the corners of her lips up and continued to shake her head, “Older Brother Zhou, let go. Let me die.”
Zhou Yao closed his eyes with his long eyelashes, and when he opened his eyes again, his dark gaze was already just like spilled ink as he said, “Han Xuan, do you really want to force us to this stage?”
“Older Brother Zhou, I am not the one forcing you. You are the one forcing me.”
“Okay.” Zhou Yao nodded his head, and when he looked over at Han Xuan again, there was already no trace of warmth in his eyes. He moved his thin lips and directly asked, “What do you want this time? Say it.”
Han Xuan thought that her eyes had already dried up, but when she heard that sentence from him, the corners of her eyes were wet again. She knew that the past ten years with him were all gone. They could not go back into the past anymore.
“Do I still need to say what I want? I want…”
“That is not possible!” Zhou Yao interrupted her. His eyes were all red as he stared at her and slowly said, “I, Zhou Yao, in my entire life, will only have one wife.”
Han Xuan turned her gaze over to the side and did not look at the sinister expression that he had in his eyes. It turned out that he could look at her with this expression in his eyes, and he hated her this much.
She cared about herself as she said, “I want you to marry me. I want to be your Madam Zhou.”
“Han Xuan!” Zhou Yao clenched down on his teeth to force out a low growl.
“You do not agree to it?” She raised her head up to smile at him as she said, “Okay then. You should also not care about me anymore, let go!”
She screamed out loud, and quickly used strength to escape from his large palm.
She was already mad.
The moment she moved, her hand escaped away from his palm immediately, Zhou Yao looked on as her hand slipped downward, and it was about to slip away from his palm. At this moment, the scene from ten years ago appeared before his eyes again. Han Hong was covered entirely in blood as he fell in front of him. Han Hong did not close his eyes as he called the name — Xuan Xuan…again and again…
He closed his eyes forcefully. The veins on his forehead were jumping non stop. He conceded. He finally conceded and said, “Okay, okay. I will promise you.”
…
Leng Zhiyuan went back to her room. As she walked along the corridor, the pa.s.sersby were all pointing at her as they said, “Yeah, she is the woman who was on the rooftop just now. She has such an evil heart.”
“So what if she is so evil? Major General Zhou chose another woman. Major General Zhou is going to marry another woman now.”
“Okay, she deserves this!”….
Leng Zhiyuan did not say anything, and it was just as if she did not hear the sounds of them gossiping about her.
There was a nurse who did not like her. The nurse crashed into her body directly, and the items that the nurse that was holding in the medical tray spilled. The medication spilled onto Leng Zhiyuan’s body.
“Aiya, Miss, are you okay?” The nurse pretended to care for Leng Zhiyuan as she helped her to wipe the stains off.
But she did not manage to do so because Leng Zhiyuan took a step backwards and did not allow her to come close. The nurse raised her gaze again, and Leng Zhiyuan was already a few steps away. She stretched her hand out to push the door open before walking directly inside.
“This woman is so pretentious!”
The people outside were still gossiping about her, Leng Zhiyuan’s expressions were still all calm, she never bothered about others gazes and opinions, and she always behaved however she wanted.
She walked over to the side of the bed and stretched her hand out to touch the blankets. When she woke up, she folded them into tofu shaped pieces. It was the afternoon now, but it was just as if she could still feel the warmth that he’d left behind.
She knew. She always knew that she was unable to be together with him for long.
She knew Han Xuan too well, and she knew him too well.
Han Xuan’s insistence was already bone deep. Even if it was the day of her death, she would probably be unable to let go. She would not give him up, and he…
Leng Zhiyuan’s exquisite features were all gentle. What kind of person was he?
Han Hong had saved him ten years ago, and he lived on with Han Hong’s values as he went on. He could not give up on this relations.h.i.+p. He had always been a masculine man who valued relations.h.i.+ps very much. Whatever Han Xuan was doing right now, it pushed him far away, but the feelings that were ama.s.sed in the past ten years could not be broken just like that. Han Xuan had exchanged her blood to save him. How could he really look on as Han Xuan jumped from the building and died?
He was all along very masculine and was proper and upright, but he was also a person who had blood and flesh. He would also be kidnapped by grat.i.tude and feelings, and he would also feel bad.
He would be anxious, frustrated, and bad, and he had times that he was also very gentle.
She loved him for that. If today, he gave up on Han Xuan at all and held her hand calmly, she would also look down on him, right?
She felt bad for him, and her heart hurt. Their time as lovers was already over.
