My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

Chapter 918 - A Speechless Meeting

Chapter 918: A Speechless Meeting

There was a rose tree in the flowerbed. The roses there had already bloomed and were extremely bright.

Leng Zhiyuan took a few glances and reached out her hands to touch it.

Roses...

He gifted her a candied gourd wrapped in rose petals on the Chinese Saint Valentine’s Day. But unfortunately... Han Xuan took it away...

Leng Zhiyuan thought in a daze. At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from behind, “Zhiyuan.”

This voice was very familiar. Leng Zhiyuan turned around and saw that it was... Mother Zhou.

“Mom, why are you here?” She was quite surprised, and she asked naturally. However, she froze as soon as she said those words. Then she quickly fixed her speech, “Auntie... ”

Mother Zhou walked forward and looked at Leng Zhiyuan lovingly, “Zhiyuan, no matter what you call me, you are like my daughter in my heart. I have been worried about you for the past few days. Now that I see that you are doing well, I am relieved. ”

Leng Zhiyuan also liked Mother Zhou. She didn’t have a mother around since she was young, and Mother Zhou treated her like a daughter. She nodded and said, “thank you, Auntie. ”

As she was saying that, she took out something and handed it to Mother Zhou, “Auntie, I’ll return this bracelet to you. ”

This bracelet was given to her by Mother Zhou when she married Zhou Yao. It’s an heirloom of the Zhou family. Now that she’s no longer the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, she couldn’t keep this bracelet.

Mother Zhou did not take it. She said with a sad expression, “Zhiyuan, you keep this bracelet. I will not take back what I had gifted you... Our family had let you down. It’s Zhou Yao who hasn’t got the privilege. ”

“Auntie, don’t say that. You should take this bracelet. It is not suitable for me to keep it... ”

“Zhiyuan, don’t put it off. This is a gift from me to you. Future times are like the high mountains and long rivers, this bracelet will serve as a memento for us both.”

Mother Zhou was determined not to accept it, and neither could Leng Zhiyuan keep it. This bracelet should be given to... Han Xuan then; she’s not qualified to keep it.

“Auntie... ”

At this time, another set of footsteps sounded, and a handsome and upright figure appeared.

Mother Zhou looked back, “Zhou Yao, you’re here? ”

Leng Zhiyuan looked up and saw that it was indeed Zhou Yao. At the moment, he was standing on the steps with his hands in his pockets. The retro palace lantern in the corridor shone down from above his head, his face was as handsome as jade.

He was looking at her tenderly.

“Zhou Yao, Zhiyuan, take your time chatting. I’ll be leaving first.” Mother Zhou left tactfully.

“Auntie, the bracelet...” the bracelet was still in Leng Zhiyuan’s hand. She wanted to chase after her, but Mother Zhou had already left. She glanced at Zhou Yao and saw him looked down to glance at the bracelet in her hand.

Her little hand holding the bracelet turned hot instantly. All kinds of memories of the past were vivid in her mind. Love naturally had its own sentimental wounds.

She lowered her long eyelashes and handed the bracelet over, “Auntie won’t accept it. You should take it and give it to Auntie. ”

Zhou Yao walked down with his long legs and walked over to the woman. Looking at her stunning facial features, he said in a low and hoarse voice, “My mom gave it to you, just keep it. Or you can give it to my mom yourself.”

If his mom was willing to take it back, she would have done it already.

Leng Zhiyuan’s little hand holding the bracelet froze in midair.

The two of them did not speak again. The atmosphere was very peaceful. His tall figure stood in front of her. She secretively looked up at him and saw his dark narrow eyes were still fixed on her face; the quiet, gentle, tender, and passionate...

Leng Zhiyuan’s heart raced, “You... ”

“You... ” he said at the same time.

The two of them then stopped simultaneously, “You go first. ”

After saying this, neither said another word. Some words had been brewing in their hearts for a long time, but now they did not know how to say them.

The two of them stood quietly and foolishly for a while. At this time, Leng Zhiyuan felt a chill on her face. She looked up and saw that it was starting to drizzle from the sky.

“It’s raining.” Zhou Yao watched the raindrops splashing on her body. He wanted to find a piece of clothing for her to put on, but his hands were empty. He had no choice but to take a step forward and place his hands on top of her head.

The familiar cool scent of the man suddenly approached. Leng Zhiyuan froze for a moment. When she realized that he was holding up his hands to shield her from the rain, she wanted to laugh in her heart. The rain was really coming. What was the use of his hands? Childish.

At this moment, Han Xuan appeared at the door. She clenched her fists and looked at the two people standing in the garden not far away. Her husband was standing straight, using his hands to shield Leng Zhiyuan from the rain. That childish look was just like a high school boy who suddenly met the girl he liked and rushed forward foolishly with a heart full of zeal...

The blood in Han Xuan’s body froze. She knew that he dotes that woman. In the past, he had cursed that woman as a “little bastard”, but his tone was so indulgent...

Leng Zhiyuan stood there for a while without moving. Then, she saw a figure from the corner of her eyes. She saw Han Xuan.

The palpitations in her heart were quickly suppressed. She raised her head and looked at Zhou Yao, “The rain is getting heavier. Our clothes are all wet. Let’s go back.”

Zhou Yao had not seen her for only a few days, but he realized that it was as if he had not seen her for a few years. He traced her facial features with infatuation, “Zhiyuan, I... ”

“Major General Zhou, I’ll be leaving first.” Leng Zhiyuan turned around and left.

Zhou Yao’s hand lowered slowly. He stood in the rain and watched Leng Zhiyuan’s fading figure...

Han Xuan watched Zhou Yao’s figure from inside...

...

Leng Zhiyuan returned to the hall, but she did not see Ye Ziyi. She asked a waiter, “Have you seen Ye Si? ”

The waiter pointed to a room, “Ye Si and Chief Ye are in that room. ”

“Thank you,” Leng Zhiyuan walked towards the room after saying thanks.

The door was not shut completely, leaving a crack open. Leng Zhiyuan looked inside and saw Ye Ziyi standing respectfully. Father Ye was criticizing him with a stern face, “What happened recently? Why didn’t you attend the top meeting? What did you do wrong? Did the higher-ups take away your authority? ”

“Father, I don’t know what’s going on either... ”

“Useless thing! ” Father Ye reprimanded, “Your background isn’t good, and your bloodline isn’t pure. If it weren’t for the fact that you’ve been doing well all these years, do you think I would have taken you home and acknowledged your identity? I originally planned to hand the Ye Family over to you, but your current performance is too disappointing!”

“Father, I’ll work hard in the future.”

“Then we’ll talk about it after you’ve made your achievement! Humph! ” Father Ye flung his sleeves and left.

Father Ye walked towards the door, and Leng Zhiyuan didn’t hide. If she hid now, it would only arouse suspicion.

The door opened, and Father Ye was stunned when he saw Leng Zhiyuan. Leng Zhiyuan nodded politely, and Father Ye’s expression was very unpleasant as he replied with a “hum” before leaving.

“Zhiyuan, why are you here?” Ye Ziyi walked out.

Leng Zhiyuan looked at him with a hesitant expression, “I came to look for you and accidentally overheard your conversation with Chief Ye... Chief Ye... Ziyi, are you okay?”
