Chapter 814: Han Xuan Is Han Hong’s Younger Sister
Leng Zhiyuan’s heart felt sweet.
He noticed that she was not stopping her tracks. The man was even more hurried, and he lowered his voice as he said, “Scorpion sent people yesterday to attack Han Xuan. I went to her place before I rushed down to the restaurant, and I was already late, but I did not expect you to be together with Ye Ziyi… Oy, Leng Zhiyuan!”
He growled out from behind because Zhiyuan went directly into the bathroom, disappearing from sight.
He was furious and stretched his hand out to grab something, and in his frustration he only managed to grab a pillow. He threw the pillow down at the floor, and there wasn’t any sound at all. He felt so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
He had never been so furious before.
Leng Zhiyuan came out very quickly, and she held a bucket of water in her hands, there was a towel in the bucket. His shirt was ripped. She had to remove his shirt and wipe his body down.
She put the bucket of water down and placed it on the chair by her hand, then sat down at the side of the bed and said, “Raise it up a little higher.”
“What are you doing?” He was unhappy as he spoke.
Leng Zhiyuan clenched her teeth and pressed down on the wound on his back.
“Sii.” He called out painfully and raised his body up. He was about to open his mouth to chide her when a slight fragrance wafted into his nostrils. Leng Zhiyuan bent over and brought her left hand out front as she helped him undo the buttons on his shirt.
Zhou Yao forgot about his anger in a second. The woman’s head was just by his cheek. There were a few strands of hair dropped down and stuck to his firm jaw, and it made him feel itchy.
He turned his gaze over to the side to squint at her. This woman’s skin was really so good. He was so close that he could see that her skin was absolutely flawless and perfect, and he had the urge to kiss her.
He was pondering to himself. If she did not look so beautiful, would he care about her. Would he have so much time?
The buttons on his shirt were unbuttoned one by one as she went downwards. When she came to the last button on his waist, her fingers unintentionally brushed his skin. He swallowed his saliva, and his entire body was on fire.
He really wanted to pull her small hand downwards…
Leng Zhiyuan’s ears were a little hot. Being together with this man, he took advantage of her many times. She also sensed the changes in his body, and she didn’t expect a small unintentional touch from her could make him…
This could only be explained one way. He was naturally…perverted!
Leng Zhiyuan threw his shirt into the rubbish bin. She wrung the clean towel again and wiped his back. Forget about the front; she did not want to provoke him.
After she was done cleaning up, she stood up and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, her slim wrist was held back, and her entire being was dragged down.
“What are you doing?” She wanted to put on a struggle immediately.
Zhou Yao forcefully pinned her wrist. Both of their faces were against one another, but he lay down quietly and did not look at her. He moved his thin lips and lowered his volume as he said, “Han Xuan is Han Hong’s younger sister…”
Leng Zhiyuan froze. She knew that the name Han Hong was a thorn in Zhou Yao’s heart, and it was definitely not easy for him to bring this name up.
The moment he said it, he had to taste the pain once again.
But at this moment, he brought up the name Han Hong suddenly…
“When I was 16 years old, the old man threw me into the army. At that time, I was under Han Hong and was together with him for three months. Han Hong brought me out on a mission, and our enemy was Scorpion.
“I’d just come to the army base, and Han Hong did not plan for me to be on the front line. He only left me in the back of the camp and wanted me to gain some experience, and at that time I…”
Zhou Yao froze for a moment and gently closed his thick, curled eyelashes.
Leng Zhiyuan’s nose was also leaning on his cheeks. Other than smelling the strong healthy masculine scent on his body, she could clearly feel that his breathing was getting heavier and more irregular.
Again and again…
“Zhou Yao…
“Zhou Yao…”
If he was unable to say it, he shouldn’t force himself to do so then.
“During that mission, Han Hong sacrificed himself for me. Everyone said that I did not have experience and was exposed before Scorpion’s gun. Han Hong rushed over to save me, and that was why he died, but that was actually not the case. At that time I…did not want to stay in the boring army base, and I wanted to take the chance to escape…”
Leng Zhiyuan’s irises contracted. He was on the battlefield where two sides were fighting one another, and he actually thought of deserting…
They all said that he was rebellious when he was young. She could imagine it right now. He was thrown into the army base by Old Master Zhou, and he was unable to escape, so when Han Hong brought him out on a mission, he thought of using the chance to escape. He did not want to be under the control of Old Master Zhou.
16 years old. At that time, he was really too young.
“Han Hong died, and he died before my eyes. Before he died, he ripped the badge on his shoulder and gave it to me, and in the final moment, he said a name: Xuan Xuan…”
Zhou Yao closed his eyes. He pinned Leng Zhiyuan’s wrist with his large palm and could not stop exerting more strength. The green veins on his palm could not stop popping, and he was in great pain.
Leng Zhiyuan could imagine that scene. Han Hong was a warrior who made others respect him. Before he sacrificed himself, he handed the badge over to Zhou Yao, meaning that he wanted Zhou Yao to grow up and become strong. He wanted Zhou Yao to become a true masculine man who would protect his home and homeland.
Similarly, at the last moments of Han Hong’s life, he was still worried about his only relative left in this world, his younger sister Han Xuan.
At that time, Han Xuan was only 14 years old.
Zhou Yao, who was 16 years old and rebellious at the time, saw Han Hong succumb before him. That was the first time that he was truly exposed to war and death. Because of his foolishness, he actually caused someone harm, and that caused him to be unable to forgive himself in the next ten years.
He felt guilty, regretful, painful, as he struggled…
Both of them were silent for a long time. Leng Zhiyuan looked at his handsome face in front of her. She suddenly felt like her heart was being pinched by a large hand, and she felt very very painful.
This kind of pain made her feel out of breath.
Zhou Yao opened his eyes slowly. He raised his gaze to look at her. His eyes had painful blood vessels and wounds that were unable to heal. He gently said, “I have known Han Xuan for almost ten years now. She was 18 years old when she went to Scorpion’s side to be a spy. Over those ten years, we did not interact with one another much. It is only at the festivals every year that we meet one another. I recently just realized her feelings towards me, and in the past, I did not think in that aspect.
“Han Xuan is my responsibility. It is definitely impossible for her to disappear in my life, but I only treat her as a younger sister, and this point would never change.”
Last night, the points that she brought up were merely what she thought of randomly. She knew that it was not possible. A man who was so loyal in his life, he would never ignore or disregard Han Xuan.
So, was he explaining himself right now?
He told her about his past with Han Xuan. Did he hope that she would be able to understand and accept it?
His gaze was a little hot. Leng Zhiyuan suddenly did not know what to say, and at this moment, her heart was in chaos.
She was very clear in her understanding. If she chose to be together with him, there would be many obstacles in the future. Han Xuan’s character was very stubborn. She could spend five or six years being a spy by Scorpion’s side. She could also spend 16 years by Zhou Yao’s side….
Was this the love and life that she wanted?
Leng Zhiyuan knew that it was not.
Knock, knock! Suddenly, the sound of someone knocking on the door rang out. “Young Mistress, it is time to eat dinner now.”
