Ye Ziyi stepped forward. He was gentle and gentlemanly as he stood behind Leng Zhiyuan. He stretched his right hand out to hold her right hand that she used to hold the bowling ball as he said, “Look straight ahead right at the target. Use your strength as you hold the ball in your hand…”
“Just like that?” Leng Zhiyuan was very serious as she followed his instructions, and she swung her slim arm underneath his shoulders.
“Yeah, right, just like that right. Throw the ball.” Ye Ziyi brought her small hand along as they threw the bowling ball out. “Plop.” The pins in the front were all hit, and the pins all fell.
“Director Ye, you are such a pro.” Leng Zhiyuan turned her gaze back and had a bright smile on her face as she looked at him.
Ye Ziyi looked at her as he curled the corners of his lips up and gently asked her, “Are you feeling better?”
“Yeah, I am much better.” Leng Zhiyuan took a ball up by herself, then she followed the way he taught her and rolled the ball forward.
The moment she swung it, eight pins that fell down, and it turned out pretty good.
“Zhiyuan, you are a fast learner.”
“Director Ye, this is thanks to you teaching me well.”
“Zhiyuan, we are not working right now. Don’t call me Director Ye; it sounds so distant. Just call me Zi Yi.”
“Sure, Zi Yi,” Leng Zhiyuan said extremely smoothly.
Ye Ziyi’s expressions got even smoother.
At this moment, a melodious ringtone rang out in the air. Ye Ziyi received a call.
“I will go and take the call.” Ye Ziyi walked over to a secluded corner.
Leng Zhiyuan continued to bowl, and very soon, a staff member handed her a bottle of mineral water. “Thank you.” She thanked the staff and took the bottle of water.
When she drank the water, she quickly looked towards Ye Ziyi. Ye Ziyi was standing in the spot that the sunlight could not reach as he listened to the call silently. There must be some bad news from the other end. She saw a frown on his face.
Leng Zhiyuan withdrew her gaze. She remembered the news that Ah Chen told her this morning. The horse stable should be in trouble right now.
There was a sharp and cold smile in her eyes.
They left the health club, and Leng Zhiyuan treated Ye Ziyi to a meal. Ye Ziyi was extremely polite and observed the atmosphere, and it made Leng Zhiyuan feel relaxed being together with him.
After they finished their meal, it was already the afternoon. Ye Ziyi her back. Leng Zhiyuan was seated down in the front passenger seat as she said, “Ziyi, I have to thank you for the help you rendered to me some time ago. I never had the chance to ask you: did you get affected in any bad way?”
“No, there are not many people that knew about this matter, but the people who knew about this matter would also not say it aloud. Furthermore, I would not let you be implicated when I am the one handling matters, so Zhiyuan, you don’t have to be worried. It is very calm on my side.”
“Okay, that’s good then.” Leng Zhiyuan looked out the window as she said, “Ziyi, just stop the car here. I will go back on my own.”
“I will drive the car to the door…”
“There is no need. My older brother and Xiao Tao are at home. If they saw you…it would be a little inconvenient..”
Ye Ziyi did not persist. He parked the car by the side of the road and opened the door to walk around the car. He opened the passenger side door like a gentleman before Leng Zhiyuan walked out.
“Ziyi, we will contact each other another time.”
“Ay, Zhiyuan.” Ye Ziyi pulled her hand.
Leng Zhiyuan turned her head back and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Zhiyuan, I am also unable to do anything about the matter involving you and Major General Zhou. I also know that you need a period of time to slowly forget Major General Zhou, but I still want to tell you, that I will always be waiting for you…”
“Ziyi…”
“Over the past few years, I have been unable to forget you. I have managed to make it through so many years, and I am not in a hurry. Zhiyuan, I hope that you can give me a chance.”
Leng Zhiyuan took her hand back slowly as she said, “Ziyi, too many things have happened lately. I am temporarily not considering all this. I am very sorry…”
“I understand everything. You don’t have to be stressed. As long as you know that I am always waiting behind you, that would be fine.”
Leng Zhiyuan closed her long eyelashes and did not express her opinion as she said, “Then I will make a move first. Let’s contact each other by phone.”
“Okay.”
Leng Zhiyuan headed forward, and she did not need to turn back to know that Ye Ziyi was sending her off with his gaze the entire time. Maybe his gaze was supposed to be warm, but she could not feel any warmth.
Just now, when they were bowling in the health club, she purposely made him teach her. His arm supported her hand as it swung back and forth in mid air. She took note of it carefully, and his right arm was not fake.
But Scorpion’s right hand was once chopped off by Zhou Yao in the ocean.
Medical technology was very advanced, and she did not rule out the possibility that he could have reattached his arm. Just now, while they were exercising, she felt that the muscles on his right hand were extremely toned, and there was no sign of it being disabled. Other than exercising, he must have hidden his extremely great martial arts skills, and they were far better than hers.
He should be on the same level as Zhou Yao. Although ten years ago, he lost under Zhou Yao, but with Scorpion’s character, in the past ten years, he was probably obsessed with martial arts.
No matter what happened, Scorpion was a very powerful opponent and very hard to fight.
Ye Ziyi confessed her to her again. What should she do?
They all said that other than going into the tiger’s den, there would be no way to catch the tiger. Did she have to make use of this chance to strike?
If she did so, if she went over to be by Ye Ziyi’s side, although there were higher chances of her succeeding, it would also be more dangerous for her.
She needed to think about it carefully.
Leng Zhiyuan was pondering about her troubles, and at this moment, there was a ding! The sound of car horn rang out in the air. She raised her gaze to look over. There was a Buggati parked in front of her.
She froze entirely.
Through the windshield, she could clearly see the man seated in the driver’s seat. The man pressed both hands on the steering wheel and was also staring at her.
It was him.
Zhou Yao.
They hadn’t seen one another for an entire week now. She did not go to check on his news at all. She did not think of how it would be like, after he recovered, how they would meet one another again.
And meeting one another on the streets just like that, it was too sudden.
Was he okay now?
She felt that her thoughts were unnecessary. He must have recovered. Eight days had already gone past, and he could appear before her so healthily. That meant that Han Xuan’s blood procedure was very successful.
It was all good as long as he was fine.
As long as he was safe.
When did he come over?
Just now, she was pondering her troubles and did not notice him. She thought that he must have come a long time ago, and he probably saw Ye Ziyi pulling her hand as they spoke with one another. With his character, he was going to be jealous again.
Forget it. She did not care whether he was jealous or not. What was the point, talking about all of this now?
Leng Zhiyuan took her gaze back, and she turned around to go through the main doors of the villa.
But the sound of a car door opening and closing rang out in her ears. There was the sound of steady footsteps trailing behind her. Her small hands by her sides tightened. He was following her.
Why did he still have to follow her?
She’d already made the decision, and he should have known.
Leng Zhiyuan quickened her steps, and she opened the main doors of the villa and walked inside. She did not want to let him come in, so she was quick as she wanted to close the door, but she was too late. A pair of black army boots stepped inside forcefully, together with his deep and hoarse voice as he said, “Let me in; this door won’t be able to block me.”
