Zhou Yao was dripping wet from head to toe. He removed the oxygen mask from his nose and squeezed dry his clothes. Then he began to move into the island.
He came to a halt after taking one step.
Because he saw a landmine buried before him.
Zhou Yao looked at the landmine and his heart rate increased. He held up the binoculars on his neck and observed the inner land. He actually saw lights through the sparse forest.
It was not a single light, but rows and rows of lights on houses.
More than one person inhabited this place.
Zhou Yao’s dark, narrow eyes lit up. There was a voice in his heart telling him, “Zhou Yao, you’ve come to the right place. She must be here!”
He frowned to suppress the joy and excitement in his heart. Ye Ziyi was here. He could not let down his guard. He could not be caught before seeing her face.
Landmines were a piece of cake for him. He made it through the area and arrived at the safe zone. With the help of the lights, he could see the island clearly. It was a very beautiful and exquisite island, with vegetables and fruits growing everywhere, and beautiful blooming flowers. Zhou Yao knew that this must be Ye Ziyi’s wonderful work.
On the dock, Ye Ziyi had told Zhou Yao that he had taken her away and will bring her to a paradise of Spring. She would definitely fall in love with the place and with him…
What’s going on at this moment then?
What’s going on between her and Ye Ziyi at this moment?
Zhou Yao felt that his heartbeat was out of control. He had always wanted to find her. For so long, there was nothing else in his life other than the quest to find her. But now that he was so close to finding her, he became… afraid.
He was very nervous.
Was this what others refer to as ‘the rising fear as one approaches their love’?
While Zhou Yao was indulging in his wild thoughts, two women carrying two buckets of water came into his view. He ducked into a bush and heard the two women saying —
“Let’s walk faster, or the hot water in the buckets will get cold. Madam is still waiting to take a bath…”
Madam?
Who were they talking about?
Zhou Yao quietly followed behind the two women. It was nighttime, so it was very convenient for him to sneak around. He followed them to the back of a house safely.
Someone in the room was talking, “Madam, the hot water is ready. You can take a bath now.”
“Mmm,” Someone answered.
Zhou Yao’s pupils dilated at the voice. The blood in his body boiled and rushed into his brain. He would never forget this cold and elegant voice. She had greeted him with “Hello, Major General Zhou” countless times. She had also allured him by calling his name during those countless nights.
How could he forget?
It’s her!
His woman, his wife, his… Leng Zhiyuan.
The two women had already left. The sound of clothes being taken off could be heard in the room, followed by the sound of water. She should be taking a bath at the moment.
Zhou Yao looked around, then went in through the window.
The black military boots gently and steadily landed on the floor. The floor was covered with a layer of pale yellow wool carpet. The decoration of the room was elegant, and the temperature was comfortable and pleasant…
Zhou Yao looked up and saw a large wooden barrel in front of him. Steam was still rising from the barrel.
However, there was no one in the barrel.
Zhou Yao immediately realized something, but it was too late. A sharp knife was pressed against his lower back, and a cold and bone-chilling voice sounded in his ear, “Who are you?”
Zhou Yao no longer has any doubt that the woman standing behind him was Leng Zhiyuan.
He immediately raised his hands to surrender. The corners of his mouth curled into a loving arc, and his voice was hoarse, “Honey, it’s been so long, and you’re welcoming your man with a knife? Isn’t this… too passionate?”
At this moment, the skin on the back of his waist ached. It turned out that the woman behind him had pushed the sharp knife in. The sharp edge of the knife immediately cut through the black clothes on his body and pierced into his muscles.
“Don’t joke around!” Her voice was cold and harsh.
Zhou Yao’s gaze flashed. He quickly became alert. She would never stab him like this. In the past, she would not even bear to punch him with force.
He frowned, “Honey, are you for real?”
“What does this look like?”
Zhou Yao’s expression changed. He quickly dodged to the side. The woman behind him immediately grabbed his neck with her hand. He then grabbed her small hand and pressed her against the wall.
“Let go! ” Leng Zhiyuan glared at him coldly.
“Honey, don’t move. You know you can’t beat me!”
“Humph!” Leng Zhiyuan turned her head to the side.
Zhou Yao looked at the small face in front of him seriously. She had appeared in his dreams countless times. However, every time he wanted to hug her and kiss her, she would disappear like a puff of smoke. Now, she was before him for real.
She did not change much. Her facial features were still stunning, and her red lips were still seductive. Her skin seemed to have become fairer and smoother. For some reason, he read hints of tenderness from her current cold expression.
A kind of tenderness he had never seen before.
“Honey, What’s wrong? Are you pranking with me? I’ve found you, I’ve finally found you!” He slowly stretched out his large palm and touched her little face with infatuation.
Leng Zhiyuan did not dodge. She met his gaze and asked, “Who are you?”
Zhou Yao was stunned. He did not understand her question. She… asked who he was?
“You’re not from this island because I’ve never seen you before. What are you doing here? ” Leng Zhiyuan observed him from head to toe as she spoke. “You swam. To be able to swim in such deep seawater means that your identity is very special. Are you… a special forces soldier? But I don’t think so. A special forces soldier came all the way here just to flirt with me?”
Zhou Yao looked into her eyes. She was not joking. She was seriously sizing him up and questioning him. There was no warmth in her eyes, and their past love had gone from her eyes. She seemed to treat him as a. . . stranger.
He was a little stunned. At this time, Leng Zhiyuan took the opportunity to break free from his restraints and took a few steps back.
She put on the coat that she had just taken off. “I don’t care who you are, just leave. Oh, maybe you can’t leave anymore. Someone is coming.”
Zhou Yao also heard the footsteps outside. The window was open. If he was thinking straight, he should’ve left immediately. He only needed to hide for an hour for his back-ups to come.
However, his feet seemed to be glued onto the floor, and he could not move at all. At this moment, Leng Zhiyuan was standing sideways in front of him. He could clearly see her bulging belly.
She had a big belly!
Zhou Yao felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck his brain. He could do nothing but stare blankly at her big belly. He could not come back to his senses for a long time. He did not expect this to happen.
“You… are pregnant?” He walked towards her.You Welcomed Your Man With a Knife
