Chapter 929: I Will Listen to You
It was already dawn, but she was not sleepy at all. Her whole body seemed to have fallen apart, even a single blink was exhausting.
She slowly turned her body and looked at the man beside her. Zhou Yao’s eyes were closed. What they did was quite demanding, so he seemed to have fallen asleep. However, his naked body still smelled of male hormones, strong and wild.
Leng Zhiyuan reached out her small hand and touched his handsome features with her soft fingertips.
“Still not enough?” He held her hand in his. Kissing her small hand, he then opened his eyes and looked at her with a smile.
“What are you talking about? You’re the one who hasn’t had enough!” She quickly withdrew her hand.
“Sure, it’s me. So why don’t we do it again?” Zhou Yao climbed over her as he was talking.
Leng Zhiyuan pushed out her hands against him. “Stop fooling around. The tent will be ruined if… if you keep this up. There are people around.”
Zhou Yao looked at her blus.h.i.+ng face and couldn’t help but pinch it. His voice was s.e.xy and hoa.r.s.e, it sounded gentle in the early morning. “I was just kidding, scaredy-cat.”
Leng Zhiyuan punched him with her little fist.
Zhou Yao flipped back in a good mood and then hugged her to his muscular chest. He sighed in satisfaction and closed his eyes gently.
“Zhiyuan…”
“Uh-huh?”
“Are you really…with Ye Ziyi?”
She pursed her red lips and didn’t say anything.
Zhou Yao’s strong facial features quickly turned solemn, “Ye Ziyi…”
“If I’m really with him, why would I sleep with you?” Leng Zhiyuan interrupted him.
Zhou Yao froze then quickly opened his bright eyes to look at her. He leaned over and kissed her little face firmly. He said happily, “I knew it, your taste is pretty good. There’s no way that you’d fall for Ye Ziyi?”
Leng Zhiyuan was between laughter and tear. He was the one who praised Ye Ziyi, and now he belittled him. How could a soldier talk so incoherently?
“Zhiyuan, give me some time. I will take care of the Han Xuan business.”
He still said it out loud: the plan he had in mind now that they’ve slept together. After all, it’d be unreasonable for them to act like they did before they’d done it.
Leng Zhiyuan reached out her small hand and started tracing circles on his chest. She made no response.
Zhou Yao kissed her forehead lovingly, his voice soft and gentle, “If you’re willing to stay in the country, then stay in the country. If not, then go abroad and travel. Give me some time. I know my request is a little selfish and reckless. It’ll be at the cost of your youth, but I can take care of the Han Xuan business. I want to be with you.”
Leng Zhiyuan closed her eyes gently. She did not ask him how he would handle Han Xuan. She only said in a soft voice, “Zhou Yao, that night when I came back from the top of the mountain, I wished to go back to find you…”
Zhou Yao was stunned, and then his eyes became hot. She…
Leng Zhiyuan raised her head and kissed his handsome face. She opened her eyes and met his hot gaze. “Mmm,” She nodded. “I also want to be with you, so I’ll listen to you. I’ll do whatever you want me to do. Are five years enough? If not, I’ll give you ten years, twenty years… as long as I can be by your side…”
Zhou Yao was deeply shocked by her words. His insides felt sore, comforted, and full of certainty. “Zhiyuan!” He hugged her with all his might.
Leng Zhiyuan quietly nestled in his arms. This was her personality. If she loved someone, she would always love them and wished they’d stay together forever and ever.
This was also what she had in mind, that she would return to his side after dealing with Scorpion.
When she realized that the man was kissing her red lips again, she quickly pushed him away. “No more, I’m too tired. I want to sleep.”
“Okay, I’ll keep my hands off of you… and save it for the future. We have all the time in the world…” he smiled dotingly.
How could Leng Zhiyuan not understand the implications behind what he’d just said? She curled the corners of her mouth and punched him again. “Stop talking and go to sleep!”
“Mmm, good night, honey!”
…
At five o’clock in the morning, Ah Chen was waiting outside Zhou Yao’s tent.
Soon, the curtain of the tent was lifted and Leng Zhiyuan walked out.
“Miss…”
Leng Zhiyuan quickly put her index finger to her lips and gestured silence. Zhou Yao was still asleep inside. He was tired of real, so she didn’t want to wake him up.
Ah Chen knew that Miss Leng and Major General Zhou had gotten back together, but he knew better to not intrude on their privacy. “Miss, the jet is ready.”
“Mmm, let’s head back.”
…
The next day, Leng Zhiyuan flew back to T city. She gave her big brother Leng Hao a call as soon as she landed and then went straight to Ye Ziyi’s loft.
The maid quickly opened the door. “h.e.l.lo, Miss Leng.”
“Mmm,” Leng Zhiyuan glanced into the living room and found it empty. So she asked, “Where’s Mr. Ye?”
“Mr. Ye is upstairs in the study room because Senior Ye is here.”
Ye’s father is here?
Leng Zhiyuan’s eyes flinched, then she headed up the stairs.
There were two bodyguards in black guarding the door of the study room. The door of the study room was left open. Leng Zhiyuan had just taken a step forward when she heard a crisp slap coming from the study. Pa!
Leng Zhiyuan came to a halt. At this time, Father Ye was already walking out with a gloomy face.
Father Ye glanced at her but didn’t acknowledge her. Instead, he left quickly with the two bodyguards who were dressed in black.
Leng Zhiyuan watched as the front door closed. She then walked into the study. She saw Ye Ziyi standing by the desk. His face was tilted to the side, remained in the same posture as when Father Ye had just slapped him.
“Ziyi…” she called out.
Ye Ziyi slowly turned his head. There was a bright red palm print on his fair, jade-like right cheek. He looked a little embarra.s.sed.
“Ziyi, are you okay?”
Ye Ziyi shook his head, “I’m fine. I’m used to it.”
He looked like his usual self, and his expression didn’t change much. Leng Zhiyuan glanced at him then said, “Why did your father hit you?”
“Oh, maybe he wasn’t satisfied with my work. He’s like that. I’m just a chess piece. If I have no value, he’ll just throw me away.” Ye Ziyi smiled gently but self-deprecatingly.
“Ziyi, have you ever loved your father?” Leng Zhiyuan asked out of the blue.
Ye Ziyi was stunned, then he slowly raised his head to look at her.
Leng Zhiyuan looked straight into his eyes, “Your father is a very smart man. He has three sons, but he doesn’t seem to love any of them. He only loves his one and only daughter, Ye Xiaotao. All of you think that’s because Ye Xiaotao’s biological mother is the love of your father’s life. But how much sincerity can a womanizer like your father have for a woman?”
“Perhaps your father had long seen through the secret battle for power between his three sons. He knew that none of his sons loved him. All they wanted was his money and power. They wished for him to die early to take his place. Ye Xiaotao was the only one who truly loved her father. Xiaotao was like a lotus flower, untainted by mud.”
