Chapter 834: Wife
She had not had a mother since she was young. She also never had any good friends. She was entirely blank when it came to relationships. No one taught her how to behave or what was right to do.
She just felt that she was putting herself out there; she would belong to him entirely.
In the future, she would only have him.
“Zhou Yao… Zhou Yao…” She was nervous and at a loss as she called out to him.
“I am here, I am here… Wife, wife…” He closed his reddened eyes.
Leng Zhiyuan closed her eyes slowly, and glistening tears slowly fell down from the corner of her eyes. She was in pain, but she also felt happy.
…
At night, Leng Zhiyuan slept on the joined beds. Aunty, who was in deep slumber, was sleeping on her left side, and there was a cloth curtain. She knew that Zhou Yao was sleeping on her right hand side.
There was a long finger moving on the cloth curtains. He was tracing the word stroke by stroke — Pain, then he added a question mark.
He asked her if she was in pain or not.
Leng Zhiyuan turned her body over to the side. They were separated by a cloth curtain, and she could hear the clear sound of his breathing. Just now, not too long ago, he pressed down on her body as he panted heavily just like a fierce wolf, and it was just as if he was about to tear her up and swallow her.
Pain.
Of course it hurt.
It hurt very very badly.
It was not until now that she knew that the time that she went over to the OBGYN was such a dumb thing to do. The things that happened between a man and a woman were not as simple as she…thought.
But she was still happy. It was just as if her heart was floating around and finally found a port that she could dock at, and she belonged to him entirely now.
She was shy as she stretched her fingers out, and she tapped his long fingers that were moving about.
At this moment, she saw the hand from the other side shrink back, but his thin lips came over with a kiss, and he kissed her fingers.
Leng Zhiyuan was taken aback. She quickly took her fingers back, and the sound of chesty laughter rang out in her ears. He was in a good mood as he broke out into laughter.
He was teasing her again.
Leng Zhiyuan turned around and decided to sleep with her back facing him. She did not want to bother with him.
No sound came from her. Zhou Yao placed both arms behind his head as a pillow. He was relaxed as he shook his long legs. He closed his thick long eyelashes and he stretched his tongue out to lick his dry thin lips.
Thinking about it just now, he really did not get enough of it.
That woman was very coy, and she was unwilling to give him a second time. They still had a long time in the future. He was afraid that she would be injured, and he was also afraid that he would make her angry and there would not be anymore in the future, so he let her go.
It was not that he was in a hurry, but he did not truly get her. He did not feel safe, and he always felt that there was a day when she would leave him.
He was self aware. He still had Han Xuan by his side, and it was not fair for her…
He was also anxious. He had protected his body for 27 years, and at this very moment, he only wanted to have his release on her. He wanted to be combined together with her and be together with her forever.
Zhou Yao turned his gaze over to the side to have a look at the cloth curtain by his side. She was just by the side of his hand and was all warm. He felt satisfied as he let out a happy grunt, then he slowly closed his eyes.
…
The next morning, Leng Zhiyuan woke up, and Zhou Yao was not around. He’d woken up early, and she woke up late.
She sat up and stepped down from the bed. Aunty was already working with the embroidery. The people here were all good at embroidery, and they sold batches of handmade embroidered goods over at Jiangnan.
“Aunty, what are you embroidering?” Leng Zhiyuan stepped forward to ask.
“Young lady, you are awake already? I am embroidering a traditional tank top. Does it look good? They are a pair of mandarin ducks frolicking in water.” Aunty stretched her hand out to open the bright red tank top out to show Leng Zhiyuan.
Leng Zhiyuan had a glance and was immediately wowed as she said, “It is so beautiful.”
“Is it pretty? I’ll give this to you.”
“I cannot take it.”
Aunty covered her mouth as she laughed and said, “This red tank top is what women in the past would wear, and now, the value of this tank top has already increased ten times. It is what couples wear for romance. Men like this. Both of you are so loving. I will give one to you, and I hope that you two will grow old with one another.”
Leng Zhiyuan’s face became red immediately. What about romance?
She did not want to put it on.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps rang out from outside the door, and there were many people coming in her direction.
Leng Zhiyuan raised her gaze to have a look outside the door. The door was pushed open, and the one right in the front was Zhou Yao. The man was extremely energetic. His defined features were extra handsome, and when he saw her, the corners of his lip curled up. There was an extra gentleness in his eyes as he said, “Pack up; we should set out now.”
“Older Sister-in-law!” Xiao Zhi and the rest of the Flaming Forces soldiers were present.
Leng Zhiyuan knew that they would come looking for them very quickly, and it was probably going to be today, but there was a sort of nervousness inside her heart when they came over. They had to leave this place.
She lifted her heels up to go out the door. Ye Ziyi was also around. Ye Ziyi saw her and heaved a sigh of relief. He said, “Zhiyuan, this is great. It is all good as long as you are fine.”
“Director Ye, I am fine.”
“Yeah, I’ve seen you safe with my own two eyes, so now I am relieved. I am not with them, I must go.” Ye Ziyi had a serious expression on his face as he let out a sigh. “This time, the army base was attacked, and the upper management is asking for someone to take responsibility. I have to go back to do the report now.”
Ye Ziyi made a move.
Leng Zhiyuan looked at his back profile. She did not know why, but she had a gut feeling. The attack was not some simple matter. Maybe, this was only the beginning.
At this moment, her shoulder was in pain. It turned out that Zhou Yao stretched his long arm out to pin her shoulder down, and he pinched her harshly.
She turned her gaze over to the side to look at him. He curled the corners of his lips up, but there was no hint of joy in his eyes as he stared at her eyes as he said, “He has already left, but you are still looking? You do not bear for him to leave?”
Leng Zhiyuan was immediately left speechless, and she shook his large palm away as she said, “What nonsense are you talking about?”
She was able to tell that he was more jealous than a woman.
Zhou Yao snorted out, and that meant that he would go back to settle it with her later. He held her small hand as he ordered Xiao Zhi, “Let’s go, we will set out now!”
…
After bidding farewell with Aunty, the group went back to the army base directly. Zhou Yao had just stepped out of the car, and Han Xuan ran over. Her gaze had joy, hope, love, and also some complicated emotions…
“Older Brother Zhou, this is great. You have finally come back safely. I still thought that you…” Han Xuan’s eyes were all red, and it was obvious that she’d cried for a few days. The two or three days that he’d disappeared for, she’d washed her face with tears, and every day felt just as long as a year.
Zhou Yao looked at her and did not say anything.
Han Xuan took a breath through her reddened nostrils. Her gaze was extremely pitiful as she said, “Older Brother Zhou, I have already thought about it. If you really ended up in trouble, I would also not continue living alone. Even if it is in Hell, I would accompany you…”
She had yet to finish her words, and the back door of the jeep behind Zhou Yao opened up. Leng Zhiyuan stepped out of the car.
Han Xuan saw Leng Zhiyuan and froze entirely.
Zhou Yao turned back to come over to Leng Zhiyuan’s side. He stretched his hand out to ruffle her hair. He did not conceal his pampering and love for her as he softly said, “Go back before me.”
Leng Zhiyuan had a look at Han Xuan, then she nodded her head and said, “Okay.”
Han Xuan’s hands and feet were icy cold as she stood on the spot. She looked at Zhou Yao’s gentle expression, and in the past few days, it seemed that his relationship with Leng Zhiyuan had become even closer.
She was always lying to herself and others. She told herself time and time again that she had to forget everything that happened outside the base. Leng Zhiyuan fell off of the cliff, and he actually chose to jump down together with her.
At that time, he did not hesitate at all as he also leaped down the cliff. She flew over to tug on his sleeve, but his sleeve just brushed past her palm, and she watched on as he disappeared before her eyes. He went away together with another woman, and she could only have her heart broken into pieces as she shouted and sobbed his name out.
