Sensing that Zhou Yao was walking towards her, Leng Zhiyuan quickly took a step back. She covered her stomach with one hand and warned him coldly, “Don’t you dare touch me here!”
She looked like a hedgehog at this moment, as if she would fight him to the death if he really touched her stomach.
Zhou Yao’s heart softened and was in pain. He felt that every breath hurt, and his voice was completely hoarse. He remained where he stood and comforted gently, “Okay, I won’t touch you. Don’t be nervous.”
At that moment, the door to the room opened, and Ye Ziyi appeared. His men surrounded the entire room, holding guns. Ye Ziyi smiled warmly and said, “Major General Zhou, how have you been?”
Zhou Yao turned around and looked at Ye Ziyi. The man was 6’2″ and stood upright. Zhou Yao smirked and replied, “Ye Si, I told you that I’ll find you for sure.”
“Mmm,” Ye Ziyi raised his eyebrows. “No one was worthy of being my competitor until I met you. The word ‘opponent’ was made for Major General Zhou. As expected, Major General Zhou did not disappoint me.”
“Humph,” Zhou Yao laughed and turned to look at Leng Zhiyuan.
Leng Zhiyuan did not expect that he would still be looking at her at this time. This man, who suddenly barged in, did not give her a good impression. He was improper with his actions and words, very much like a sensualist.
However, now that she had taken a closer look at this man, he was really handsome. His eyebrows were straight, his eyes were narrow, and his lips were thin. It was needless to say how straight his back was. The black clothes on his body were wet and stuck to his body. She did not need to lift his clothes to tell that this man had an eight-pack. His muscles were big and wall-like, and his back displayed a strong tension.
Looking at this exquisite figure, it’s unlikely that he was a sensualist. On the contrary, he looked proper and unyielding.
Now that he was staring at her, she did not know what he was looking at, but his gaze was focused, serious, and… gentle. His neat short hair stuck to his forehead, and his narrow eyes contained an indescribable warmth and tenderness when they were fixed on her face.
It was as if they had not seen each other for a long time. So he wanted to see the details of her facial features clearly and remember them.
For some reason, Leng Zhiyuan felt a pounding on her heart.
She covered her aching head with her hands.
Zhou Yao immediately sensed that there was something wrong with her. “Zhiyuan…”
He was going to approach her.
“Major General Zhou,” Ye Ziyi called out immediately, “Zhiyuan is my wife now. I advise you to keep your hands off of her!”
One of Ye Ziyi’s subordinates aimed his gun at Zhou Yao’s heart.
Zhou Yao stopped moving. He raised his hands to surrendered. “Okay, Ye Si, I’ll listen to you.”
“Major General Zhou, I really admire you for being so sensible. We haven’t seen each other for so long. Since you’ve already barged in, shall we catch up a little?”
“Okay.”
Zhou Yao got locked in a room. Ye Ziyi stood in front of him. Zhou Yao moved his thin lips and said straight away, “Zhiyuan doesn’t seem to know who I am.”
“That’s true. She’d lost all her memories of you,” Ye Ziyi admitted frankly.
Zhou Yao curled his lips in confusion. “You did that to her?”
Ye Ziyi smiled and didn’t say anything.
“I’d always thought that Ye Si was a person who likes challenges. The more you can’t handle something, the more you want to get it done. Now, it seems that Ye Si also likes to take shortcuts. I’m just curious, do you feel a sense of accomplishment by doing this?”
Ye Ziyi shook his head. “Concerning Zhiyuan, it’s an accomplishment so long as she stays by my side.”
Zhou Yao nodded. “Is the child mine?”
“Major General Zhou, if you think it’s yours, then it’s yours. If you think it’s mine, then it’s mine. Major General Zhou can stay uncertain about this matter for the rest of your life.”
“Humph,” Zhou Yao chuckled.
“Major General Zhou, what’s so funny?”
“Nothing. I don’t know if Ye Si would believe this or not. But one month after you left with Zhiyuan, I suddenly dreamt of the child-giving Guanyin one night.”
Ye Ziyi’s eyes flickered. “Major General Zhou really enjoys joking around.”
Zhou Yao shrugged. “If Ye Si thinks it’s a joke, then it’s a joke. Ye Si can also guess whether or not I think the child in Zhiyuan’s stomach is mine.”
Ye Ziyi’s expression changed. He restrained the smile on his face and took a gun from his subordinate. He aimed it at Zhou Yao’s head. “Major General Zhou, I don’t have time to beat around the bush with you. Your back-ups should be here any time now.”
“Clever,” Zhou Yao looked down at the steel watch on his wrist. “My back-ups will arrive in forty minutes. Ye Si, you can’t get away this time.”
“Since it’s not likely for me to escape, I’ll send General Zhou on his way first.” Ye Ziyi was about to pull the trigger.
“Ye Si, dare to make a bet with me?” Zhou Yao suddenly said.
Ye Ziyi stopped and raised his eyebrows, showing great interest. “What kind of bet?”
“Let me spend half an hour alone with Zhiyuan. Didn’t she forget about me? I can make her fall in love with me again.”
“Ha, haha…” Ye Ziyi couldn’t stop laughing. “Major General Zhou, aren’t you too confident?”
“Why? You’re scared?”
Ye Ziyi hesitated.
At this moment, a subordinate walked up and advised, “Master, do not be fooled by this person. He’s only stalling for time. We should kill him immediately.”
Ye Ziyi looked at Zhou Yao.
Zhou Yao shrugged casually, “While I’m alone with Zhiyuan, Ye Si can keep an eye on me and kill me at any time. Don’t you want to witness how I win over a woman you failed to woo after all this time and effort? Ye Si has always loved playing games. Why are you so timid now?”
“Master…”
“Okay!” Ye Ziyi agreed.
Leng Zhiyuan was sitting on the big bed in her room. She was thinking about the man she just met. Ye Ziyi called him “Major General Zhou.” So he was really a special forces soldier, and a high ranking one as well.
He acted as if he knew her. He kept calling her “Honey.” But how come there’s no memory of him in her mind no matter how hard she searched?
She became suspicious.
At this moment, her head began to ache again. She covered her head with her hands.
Creak. The door of her room was suddenly pushed open.
Leng Zhiyuan looked up and saw a handsome and upright figure. Zhou Yao was here.
“You…” she was very surprised. Why was he here again? Ye Ziyi seemed to be his opponent. Did Ye Ziyi let him in?
Zhou Yao walked before the woman in his long legs. He looked down at her and smiled. “What were you thinking about just now? Were you thinking about me?”
Leng Zhiyuan did not know what to say…
Zhou Yao raised his straight eyebrows, looking naughty and gentle at the same time. He reached out his big palm and stroked her hair. “Nevermind. Don’t give yourself a headache trying to remember.”
Pa! Leng Zhiyuan immediately slapped his hand away. She stood up from the bed and stepped back cautiously. “Who are you?”
She stood up, and so Zhou Yao laid down on her big bed sideways unceremoniously. He rested on one arm and looked at her. “Do you sleep on this bed alone or with someone else?”
