Leng Zhiyuan was touched, and tears flowed down her face. She hugged Leng Mu’s neck from behind as she said, “Dad, it has been hard on you all this time.”
“As long as both you and your Older Brother are well, Dad does not find it hard at all.”
“Okay, Dad, both me and Older Brother would be doing good!” Leng Zhiyuan forcefully nodded her head.
Leng Mu’s solemn facial expressions got warmer, and a small smile formed on his face.
At this moment, Leng Zhiyuan noticed that there were a few pieces of paper on the carpet in her peripherals. She let go of Leng Mu and bent over to pick them up as she said, “Dad, what is this?”
She held the few pieces of paper in her hands, and she flipped through them to look at the contents. This seemed to be a picture…
She just had a glance, and the paper in her hands was snatched away by Leng Mu,.Leng Mu stood up abruptly from the office chair, and he glared at Leng Zhiyuan as he bellowed out, “Who allowed you to read this?”
Leng Zhiyuan froze. Her father had never used such a stern tone to speak with her before.
“Dad, why are you so furious? I just had a glance,” As she spoke, Leng Zhiyuan lowered her gaze to have a look at the paper in Leng Mu’s hand. She pouted her lips as she said, “What is on that paper that I cannot see?”
“Nonsense! Don’t you know the rules of our Leng family? These missions have to be kept confidential!”
“I…”
Leng Zhiyuan wanted to say that she’d also seen them in the past, and why didn’t he chide her back then, but she had yet to speak when the sound of someone knocking on the door rang out in the air. “Old Master, Miss, the son-in-law is here.”
Son-in-law?
Leng Zhiyuan’s eyes lit up. Zhou Yao was here?
She parted her legs and rushed out.
At this moment, Leng Mu shouted out from behind her, “Zhiyuan, who allowed you to go out to meet him? Come back!”
Leng Zhiyuan paused in her tracks. She turned her head back to look at Leng Mu as she said softly, “Dad.”
She was trying to act cute.
Leng Mu was not won over. He had a frown on his face as he said, “Who was the one who said that she was going to help share the burden by staying by Dad’s side? Have a look at yourself. The moment he comes over, you are about to run off with him already. Forget it. You can leave. Both you and your older brother are all grown up now; just let your father be all alone. ”
Leng Zhiyuan could not take hearing these words and said, “Dad, okay, stop talking. I…will not meet him okay.”
It was only then that Leng Mu was satisfied, and he said, “Go back to your room!”
Leng Zhiyuan took a few steps and headed out.
…
As she walked along the corridor, Leng Zhiyuan lowered her gaze to look downstairs. There was a person standing in the living room. He was tall with long legs and a straight, charismatic figure. Zhou Yao was dressed in camouflage military attire as he stood inside the living room, and there were a bunch of presents on the coffee table.
Leng Zhiyuan had a look and knew that he’d come here directly from the military base. He had to go on a mission in two days, and he did not have much time. The mission was urgent. He was in such a hurry that he did not even remove the military uniform.
She felt that her heart was kneaded by a large hand, and it was in so much pain.
Zhou Yao raised his head up to look upstairs, and the moment he did so, he saw Leng Zhiyuan walking along the corridor. The small lamp in the corridor lit up her attractive features. She also saw him, and her gaze was gentle as she looked at him.
Zhou Yao’s tough features immediately became soft. They had not seen one another for a day, but it felt just like three autumns already. Did the books describe it this way?
He raised his handsome eyebrows and gave her a gentle smile.
Leng Zhiyuan felt that her entire heart was full. She wanted to walk over to be by his side, and she really wanted to talk to him…
At this moment, Leng Mu’s unhappy coughing rang out from behind. Cough, cough!
Leng Zhiyuan quickly hastened her steps over to return to the room. She raised her eyebrows as she looked at Zhou Yao worriedly.
Zhou Yao’s bright and deep dark eyes gazed over at her, meaning — Don’t worry, I can manage this.
Leng Zhiyuan did not have any other choice and went to her room.
The moment she disappeared, Zhou Yao raised his gaze to look over at Leng Mu. He had a bright smile to curry favour. “Dear Father-in-law, I have prepared some presents for you. I do not know whether you like them or not?”
Leng Mu did not go downstairs. He only stood at the railings upstairs and lowered his gaze to have a look at the presents on the coffee table. He nodded his head calmly as he said, “I have already seen the presents, you can go back now.”
“Father-in-law!” Zhou Yao said quickly.
“Why? Did you come over this time not to just give me presents? You still have some demands?” Leng Mu spoke.
Zhou Yao became speechless, and he could not say that he gave all the presents because he wanted to take his daughter back. He stuttered, “This…”
“I have some other matters to handle. You can go back now.” Leng Mu turned around and went into the study.
Zhou Yao who was left on the spot.
…
For two whole days, Leng Zhiyuan was not in a good mood. Ye Xiaotao’s father found out about her pregnancy, and after that, Bai Lingyun also found out about it. Older Brother’s life was in utter chaos. The relationship with Bai Lingyun that he’d tried so hard to save was at stake once again. She could hear Older Brother trying to persuade her on the phone, but Bai Lingyun was extremely firm.
Bai Lingyun went back to Hong Kong, so Older Brother chased after her and went to Hong Kong.
In the past two days, her father Leng Mu was so busy, and she would not see him much. He would set off early and come back late. Zhou Yao had already come three nights consecutively and brought gifts over, but Leng Mu treated him the same after the three days. He did not get much time to say much, and he was chased away.
Leng Zhiyuan was cooped up in the house all day and felt frustrated.
Similarly, in the past two days, her eyelid was twitching all the time. She heard that a twitching right eyelid was a sign of an impending disaster. She had a very strong premonition, and it seemed like something huge was about to unfold.
At night, she ate dinner all alone, and she prepared to go upstairs when the main doors of the villa opened. Leng Mu walked inside.
“Dad, you are back? Have you eaten already?”
“I have eaten already.” Leng Mu ran upstairs immediately and said, “Zhiyuan, Dad still has work to do. You should go and rest early.”
“Oh.” Leng Zhiyuan nodded her head.
She was really very curious about what her father was busy with recently. She wanted to share the burden with her father, but her father was being all mysterious and did not let her participate. She had no other choice but to shake her head.
Leng Zhiyuan went back to her own room, and she took a shower, she wore a nightgown and came out, she used a dry towel to wipe her long wet hair, as she sat down by the side of the bed to use her phone.
In the past two or three days, he always came around eight o’clock at night. It was almost nine o’clock, and he still had not come back yet. He would probably not come over tonight because he was going out on a mission tomorrow.
Before he went out on a mission, they had to conduct strict pre-mission checks in the army base, and they had to ensure enough sleep.As the commander for the mission this time, he must be busy.
What was he busy with?
Leng Zhiyuan tapped the message app and wanted to send a message to him, but her fair fingers pressed down on the buttons and she started to hesitate again. She was afraid that he was busy and she would disturb him.
She was hesitating, and there was a minor sound that rang out behind her. Some cold air came inside, and she quickly stood up and turned her head back to look. The balcony was open, and Zhou Yao jumped inside.
Leng Zhiyuan was both surprised and happy as she said, “Why are you scaling through the windows again?”
Zhou Yao closed the balcony, then he parted his long legs to walk over. He was frustrated as he broke out into a smile and said, “I also want to be more refined and a little more polite. I tried coming to see you after I won over Dad, but Dad is way too hard to win over.”
He took quick steps forward, and Leng Zhiyuan took two steps back. The moment she did so, her back was against the corner of the wall. Slap! The man placed his left palm onto the wall directly, and his dark eyes were bright and lit up as he said, “Wifey, what are you hiding from? It has only been two days, and you don’t even recognize your own husband anymore?”
