Chapter 865: He Did Not Come After All
Leng Zhiyuan’s heart felt very sweet. He hugged her very tight as she listened to his powerful heartbeat. She felt very satisfied.
She really wanted time to stop at this moment.
“Wifey, do you love me?” Zhou Yao asked as he firmly kissed her small face.
Why was he asking her such a mushy question?
“I am not telling you.” She struggled away from his embrace.
“You are really not telling me? Then I have you to use my strength.” Zhou Yao pounced on her and started to tickle her from head to toe.
Leng Zhiyuan gurlged in laughter as she ducked away. “Haha!” While she ducked away as she hit him, she said, “It is not early. Sleep! You still have to go to the base tomorrow morning.”
“Wifey, you really do not want to confess to me and say that you love me?” He pinned her hands down and asked the question with a smile on his face.
“No!”
“Hah, you small thing without a conscience!” Zhou Yao cursed out softly before he stretched his hand out to tug her clothes, and he said, “You are not allowed to sleep. Nights without you are short and bitter!”
He was coming over again?
“I don’t want to anymore. I am so tired…” She quickly rejected him.
Zhou Yao was hurried as he pressed down on her, and he said, “You are not the one who can decide on this matter.”
The next morning, Leng Zhiyuan woke up late. Ye Xiaotao knocked on her door and woke her up. She got up hurriedly, and Zhou Yao had long left just as she expected.
She stood before the sink as she brushed her teeth. She looked at the marks all over her body through the mirror. They were all left behind by that man, and she did not know whether he was doing it on purpose. He was behaving too badly.
Leng Zhiyuan picked a shirt with a high collar to wear. When she got out of the door, Ye Xiaotao blinked her eyes at her when she saw her. Leng Zhiyuan:…
Happy times were always short, and it was nighttime in a blink of an eye. The helpers went to open the main doors, and Leng Zhiyuan ran over in a hurry. The one who came in was Leng Hao, not Zhou Yao.
Leng Hao saw her disappointed expressions as he laughed and said, “Zhiyuan, have you forgotten that I am the true owner of this villa? Why do I feel that I am an outsider who is not welcome?”
“Older Brother, what nonsense are you talking about?” Leng Zhiyuan was displeased as she looked at Leng Hao, then she secretly glanced over at the door.
Zhou Yao was still not back.
It was already nine at night.
He had never come back so late before.
Leng Hao changed his shoes before he went inside the living room as he said, “Men are busy with the matters outside. Don’t learn from those women who worry about their men too fiercely. By doing this, neither of you will have any personal space. If you are really worried, then give him a call to ask him what’s up.”
“Oh.” Older Brother was chiding her, and Leng Zhiyuan felt guilty as she answered him.
At this moment, Leng Hao scanned the villa, and there seemed to be someone missing from the villa. He asked the helper by his side, “Where is Young Mistress?”
“Young Master, Young Mistress went out.”
A frown immediately appeared on his face, and he asked, “Where did she go?”
“Older Brother, Xiao Tao said that her good friends invited her out for a feast. She was so bored at home for the past few days, so she went out to have some fun. Xiao Tao said that she would try her best to come back early,” Leng Zhiyuan said.
Eating a feast?
Leng Hao’s mind went back to that time in the bar when she collided with him. She used all kinds of methods to remove his belt, and it seemed that she liked to hang out in the bars with her friends and play these kinds of daring games. In the past few days, she was so bored, and he was unsure how she was going to play with those people.
Leng Hao snorted out coldly and parted his legs to enter the dining room as he said, “Start serving dinner!”
Leng Zhiyuan noticed that her older brother’s face was all black. She was interested as she stepped forward and said, “Older Brother, who was the one that said that I should not care about him too much, and I had to give him some personal space?”
“Which eye did you see me caring about her with?”
Leng Zhiyuan used her fingers to point towards her own eyes.
Leng Hao used the knife to cut his steak, and he cut up the steak into many pieces. He did not raise his head. His expression was grim as he said, “In the past, no matter what she did, I would not care about it naturally. She is Mrs. Leng, though. I am afraid that she will stir up trouble for me.”
“Oh, is that true?” Leng Zhiyuan parted her legs and went upstairs before she left with this sentence. “You speak just as if I am not Mrs. Zhou.”
“You!” Leng Hao clenched his teeth as he spoke.
Leng Zhiyuan hid inside her room before she took her phone out.
Her fair fingers hesitated before she pressed the buttons, and she dialled Zhou Yao’s number.
After the connecting tone rang out twice, the call was picked up. Her eyes lit up with joy, and she quickly said, “Hello, Zhou Yao…”
“Hello, Older Sister-in-law.” Xiao Zhi’s voice came over from the other end.
Leng Zhiyuan froze. The glow in her eyes dimmed down quickly as she said, “Xiao Zhi, where is your Major General?”
“Oh, Older Sister-in-law, there is an emergency meeting on the base tonight. It might go late. Major General is in the meeting room. Major General said that if it got too late, he would not go back then, and Older Sister-in-law can go to sleep.”
He was not coming back?
Leng Zhiyuan’s expression became a little lonely as she nodded her head and said, “Okay, I get it.”
“Older Sister-in-law, goodbye.” He hung up.
Leng Zhiyuan stood on the balcony by herself. Actually she was not a clingy woman. She had a cool character, but she did not know why she still felt disappointed when she heard that he was not coming back.
Was he that busy?
Did he remember what day it was tomorrow?
He was the one who said that he wanted to get the marriage certificate with her.
Their three month marriage was coming to an end tomorrow, and he said that he wanted to make it official with her.
Would he have forgotten it?
The next morning, Leng Zhiyuan went downstairs. She had a glance at the dining room. Leng Hao and Ye Xiaotao were seated around the living room as they ate breakfast.
The atmosphere between them was very tense. Leng Hao’s expressions were icy cold, and Ye Xiaotao’s eyes were all red. It seemed that she’d cried for a long time last night, and they did not bother with one another.
Leng Zhiyuan softly asked a helper, “What is wrong with Young Master and Young Mistress?”
“Miss, Young Mistress was brought back by Young Master yesterday, and both of them seemed to have quarreled with one another in the bedroom.”
Leng Zhiyuan nodded her head to express her understanding, and she lifted her feet up to go out of the door.
“Miss, are you not eating breakfast?”
“I am not eating.”
Leng Zhiyuan rushed over to the Civil Affairs Bureau. She saw many couples walk inside as they held hands with one another. Some walked out with red booklets in their hands. They had blissful expressions on their faces as they did so.
Leng Zhiyuan curled the corners of her lips up into an arc, and she waited on the steps quietly.
Time passed by just like that. She raised her head up to look at the sunlight that was shining down. She had already waited from the morning to the afternoon, and Zhou Yao did not come.
She took her phone out and made a call.
The melodious ringtone rang out a few times, and the person on the other end did not answer.
She called him continuously a few times before the voice of the female robot rang out — Sorry, the number that you have dialled has been switched off.
He switched his phone off?
Leng Zhiyuan’s entire heart sunk. What did he mean by this?
He did not come back last night, and she could agree that he was busy, but today was such an important date, and he was actually missing.
The alarms inside her heart were ringing out loudly.
She wanted to go over to the base to look for him immediately, but after pondering for a moment, she decided to wait for a while more. If it was really such a coincidence, he was busy, and his phone was dead, what was he going to do if he rushed over and she left at the same time?
After that, Leng Zhiyuan decided to be patient as she waited for him.
She waited all the way till five in the evening. There were numerous couples that walked past her until the staff of the Civil Affair Bureau were dismissed from work. The main gates of the Civil Affairs Bureau were shut with a loud bang!
He did not come after all.
