Chapter 858: You Still Have Me
Father was finally back home.
Leng Zhiyuan stood outside the door as she looked on as the doctor got into a rhythm. There was a quiet smile on her face, and at this moment, her shoulders were patted. Leng Hao was back.
“Older Brother,” she greeted him.
“Hey.” Leng Hao nodded his head and said, “Don’t worry, I have settled everything regarding Dad and the Leng family. In the future, professional nurses will take care of Dad, and everything will be fine.”
Leng Zhiyuan nodded her head inside. Yeah, everything would all be fine.
“Older Brother, it has been hard on you.”
“I am the oldest son in this family, your older brother. These matters are mine to handle. It is not hard, Zhiyuan. Although you are out of confinement now, you should also not run around anyhow. Rest for a few more days.”
“Okay.”
Leng Hao saw his father in the room and was relieved. He turned to the side and said to the helper, “Tidy the master bedroom up. Young Madam is moving over this afternoon.”
“Young Madam?” The helper was taken aback. When did Young Master get married? Why did they not have any news of it at all?
Leng Hao did not have anything else to say. He looked over at Leng Zhiyuan and said, “Zhiyuan, Older Brother still has some matters to handle. I will be going.”
“Okay.”
Leng Hao lifted his heels and left.
Leng Zhiyuan looked on as Leng Hao left. Once she’d found out that her father was brought back home, she knew that Older Brother had reached an agreement with the Ye family, and Older Brother had really married Ye Xiaotao.
In the future, Ye Xiaotao was her older Sister-in-law then.
As for this matter, she could not help out at all. Older Brother had his own responsibility and things to consider, not to mention the things that he’d given up for the Leng family. That Bai Lingyun first, she did not agree when Older Brother was together with Bai Lingyun. These two people would never have ended up together.
She did not know whether it was good or bad that Older Brother married Ye Xiaotao.
She would watch on then.
…
In the afternoon, Leng Zhiyuan sat down on the chair by the bedside, and she looked at her father Leng Mu quietly.
Her father looked very pale, but his face seemed very peaceful. She just knew that he was not in much pain. Rather, it seemed that he was released from his troubles.
Leng Zhiyuan used both hands to hold her father’s slightly cold right hand. Dad, you don’t have to worry, no matter who it was that harmed you, no matter what grievances you had, I will find the perpetrator behind it all out.
She firmly believed it, but when she thought about the fact that her father who had always been benevolent to her would never open his eyes again, she felt very sad.
She was not fillal.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps rang out from behind her. Someone walked in.
Her hair was ruffled by a large palm. Zhou Yao was standing by her side.
She raised her gaze to look over. Zhou Yao looked at Leng Mu, who was lying on the bed, before he lowered his gaze down to look at her. There was a gentleness that was hard to express on his face.
Leng Zhiyuan felt her eyes go wet, and she lowered her gaze.
“This is for you.” At this moment, something appeared in her line of vision. The man was holding it in his hands. She looked over, and it was…a sugar-coated hawthorn.
She froze.
“Older Brother said that you would like this…”
Older Brother?
Leng Zhiyuan stretched her hand out slowly to take the hawthorn skewer. In the past, when she missed her mother, her father handed her sugar-coated hawthorns, and now her father… She received this sugar-coated hawthorn again.
Hot tears flowed down her face like pearls from a broken necklace, and she was unable to control herself.
Zhou Yao was on one knee as he knelt down on the ground. He pinned the back of her head and brought her to his shoulder to cry. It was just as if he was coaxing a small girl as he patted her slim back, and he gently said, “If you want to cry, just cry. Everything will be fine… You are not alone. You still have your older brother. You still have me. All of us will accompany you.”
Ever since father got into trouble, she hadn’t shed a single tear, and now, she was unable to hold back anymore. She cried out loud on the man’s broad shoulder.
Zhou Yao accompanied her silently and allowed her to express her emotions.
Leng Zhiyuan cried for a long time until she felt that she was done crying. She was in a better mood. She sat up slowly, and a large, rough palm cupped her face. A finger gently wiped her tears away, and he said, “Your eyes are all red from crying.”
His voice was filled with pity.
Leng Zhiyuan’s eyes were all blurry as she looked at him. The man’s handsome face was blurry in her sight. At this moment, there was a warmth on her forehead; it was a gentle kiss from the man.
She heard that when a man kissed a woman’s forehead, it meant that he treasured her very much.
Leng Zhiyuan stretched her hand out and hugged his sculpted waist gently.
As she did so, it made Zhou Yao’s eyes light up. He helped her wipe her tears away. His fingers moved over to the side of her lips, and he caressed her gently.
He seemed to be hinting at her and seemed to be trying his luck. Leng Zhiyuan fluttered her long eyelashes and moved her head.
A masculine aura came into her nostrils. Her red lips were touched gently, and the man had already bent down to kiss her.
He did not close his eyes. His bright eyes were looking at her carefully, and he was seeing if she was showing any sign of rejecting him.
The woman in his gaze was fluttering her long eyelashes that were just like the wings of a butterfly. A layer of pink stained her fair face. She ducked away a little and was somewhat obedient as she closed her eyes.
Zhou Yao took a deep breath. He stretched his long arm out to cup her slim waist and wanted to embrace her in his arms.
Knock, knock. Suddenly, the sound of someone knocking on the door rang out in the air. “Young Miss, Son-in-law, Young Madam is here.”
Young Madam?
Both of them opened their eyes.
…
Leng Zhiyuan went out of the room. She noticed that the main doors of the villa were open, and there was a tiny figure standing on the stairs outside the door. It was Ye Xiaotao.
Ye Xiaotao watched the luxurious business vehicle on the lawn as she sobbed and screamed out, “Daddy, are you really going to throw me here? Are you really my father or not? Woo woo, I do not want to live anymore. My Mummy is not around anymore, and right now. Even Daddy, you are bullying me…”
Ye Xiaotao had yet to finish crying, and the luxury vehicle zoomed off into the distance.
After that, Leng Zhiyuan saw Ye Xiaotao freeze outside the door.
Leng Zhiyuan went downstairs. She still had a very good impression of Ye Xiatao, and now that they were family, she wanted to comfort her.
Right when she entered the living room, Ye Xiaotao turned around and walked inside. The girl’s face was still stained with tears, and the moment she saw Leng Zhiyuan, she had a surprised and bright smile on her face as she said, “Older Sister Leng!”
As she looked at this girl that was crying and laughing at the same time, Leng Zhiyuan had nothing to say.
Ye Xiaotao rushed over to hug Leng Zhiyuan as she said, “Older Sister Leng, my Daddy is really too bad. I cried and shouted for so long, and he did not bother with me at all. It is really such a waste of my tears… Thankfully, Older Sister Leng is here. Otherwise, even if you beat me to death, I would still not go inside this…prison…”
As she spoke, Ye Xiaotao let go of her. She had a look around the villa and placed her hands on her hip as she nosily asked, “Where is Leng Hao? Why is he not around? I still have something to tell him. I will let him know beforehand. I am just staying here temporarily. I am only 20 years old and am still a student in university. I do not have any choice but to succumb to my Daddy’s threats and coercion, but we are having a marriage that is hidden from the public. It is a fake marriage. In the future, I will still be Ye Xiaotao who is youthful and extremely pretty, and you are still that hard and smelly big rock.”
Leng Zhiyuan looked at her fierce demeanor and was full of vitality as she shook her head. She stepped forward and said, “Xiao Tao.”
