Chapter 825 - Placing A Stamp
Chapter 825: Placing A Stamp
She realized that her reminding him was really so funny. People like them in this career, every time they went out on a mission, it was extremely dangerous for them. They did not need to be reminded and did not believe in reminders.
But right now, she just wanted to give him a reminder, and it was only by doing so that she felt secure.
He definitely had to take care of his safety.
At this moment, Zhou Yao pinned her small shoulders and turned her around. He was propped in mid air as he stared at her face. “When I am not around, you are not allowed to spend time alone with Ye Ziyi!”
Leng Zhiyuan fluttered her eyes for a moment before she digested what he’d said. What time was it? Why did he always bring up Ye Ziyi all this time?
Upon seeing her not say anything, his large palm that he placed on her small shoulder exerted strength as he pinched her, “Did you hear what I said?”
“I heard it okay, but if I did not do anything wrong. I would not be worried about anything. If you did not do anything bad, then why are you scared of Ye Ziyi talking bad about you?” she retaliated.
“That is not the same.” His tone was grim as he spat out his words.
Leng Zhiyuan was a little excited now, and she said, “What is different?”
Zhou Yao’s face was both dark and cold. Only his narrow eyes that he used to stare at her were hot as he said, “It is a special period of time right now. I have Han Xuan by my side also. I am unable to trust Ye Ziyi’s character. He will definitely take the chance to strike and try to place a wedge between us.”
Leng Zhiyuan raised her chin up as she snorted out loud. “Hmph! It looks like you are still self-aware! You’d better be on your best behaviour and maintain distance with Han Xuan. Otherwise I don’t need Ye Ziyi to say it; I would also not want you myself.”
“You dare!” He stared at her.
“You will see if I dare or not!” She did not back down.
Looking at her beautiful grey eyes, Zhou Yao raised his handsome eyebrows before he bent his down to nudge the skin on her face with his nose. He lowered his volume to say, “Han Xuan’s presence, I know that as long as you are a woman, you would mind. Your character is strong, and you value quality over quantity. I know it inside my heart, Han Xuan is my responsibility. Don’t leave me; I won’t allow you to feel grievanced.”
Leng Zhiyuan felt that her eyes were all wet, but the softest part of her heart was suddenly touched. He knew everything, and it turned out that he understood everything.
Although he seemed like a rough person on the outside — he was not gentle, not caring, and did not know anything about romance — he knew that she would mind Han Xuan. He knew that he was not going to let her feel grievanced in the future.
It was only when a man truly liked a woman that he would care for her in all aspects.
She stretched her hands out to hug his neck and kissed the corners of his lips as she said, “You saying this is enough.”
“Okay.” He also used strength to kiss her and continued, “When I am not around, you are not allowed to hang out with Ye Ziyi, and don’t listen to what he says.”
Why did he still remember this?
She clenched her fist and hit his shoulder as she said, “I got it.”
Zhou Yao curled his lips up into a satisfied smile. He searched for the corners of her soft, fragrant lips as he opened his mouth to bite her.
Woosh! Leng Zhiyuan opened her eyes quickly, he dared to bite her?
She was already bleeding.
She sat up immediately and was about to kick him, “Bastard, why did you bite me?”
Zhou Yao leaped down from the bed. He stretched his hand out to take the clothes on the hanger, and he had a nonchalant smile on his face as he said, “I am making a stamp and telling everyone that you are my woman!”
He laughed loudly before he walked out.
Leng Zhiyuan was furious as she stomped her feet on the bed. She used her hands to caress the corners of her lips that he’d bitten. Her heart felt extremely sweet. She curled her lips up into an arc, and she was just like a little silly kid as she laughed secretly by herself.
This man was so dominating.
...
At breakfast, everyone gathered in the dining room while Han Xuan was quarantined in a small glass room.
She had a wide spread of food placed in front of her, but she did not eat.
Knock, knock. Leng Zhiyuan walked inside.
“Miss Han, why are you not eating breakfast? I heard that you have not eaten anything since yesterday. If you continue to be like this without Zhou Yao coming to save you, you will starve to death.”
Han Xuan did not raise her head up. She laughed coldly as she said, “Don’t shed crocodile tears here.”
Leng Zhiyuan was not angry. She sat down at one corner of the dining table coolly. She lowered her gaze to look at Han Xuan’s pale dishevelled face before she said, “I know that you really hate me because I am together with Zhou Yao now.”
Han Xuan did not say anything.
“The most important thing is that you are not happy...”
Han Xuan’s hands that she’d placed on her kneecaps slowly clenched into fists.
Leng Zhiyuan continued and laughed as she said, “Actually I can understand why. Miss Han is patient and has willpower. As long as you are fixed on one matter, you will not give up. You have already known Zhou Yao for almost ten years now. There is your older brother who has already passed away as your protective shield. In your eyes, what am I, Leng Zhiyuan? I am just a person who has barged into two people’s relationship, and you believe that you will definitely defeat me.”
“Miss Leng, do you see me as a joke?” Han Xuan was furious.
“Yes, I think that you are just a joke. Miss Han, I think that you are a joke because you are a joke yourself right now, and I am bearing witness.”
“Hmph!” Han Xuan snorted coldly, and she took the chopsticks up as she started to eat.
Leng Zhiyuan knew that her provocation was already working. Han Xuan was a girl with simple thoughts, and the key thing was that she did not want to admit her defeat.
She had remaining feelings for Zhou Yao.
Han Xuan had a mouthful of the millet porridge, then she smiled and said, “Miss Leng, you came over here to persuade me to eat. There will be a day when you pay the price for your silly actions. Do you really think that you can be together with Older Brother Zhou?”
“Whether I can or not, let’s wait and see.”
“Miss Leng, I still advise you not to be too overconfident...” Han Xuan spoke as she slowly raised her head up. There was a small smile on her face, but when she had a clear look at the wound on the corners of Leng Zhiyuan’s lips, the smile on her face froze immediately.
Anyone could tell that someone bit the corners of Leng Zhiyuan’s lips.
Han Xuan’s entire heart sunk, and her entire body felt icy cold.
Leng Zhiyuan naturally knew what Han Xuan was thinking. She stood up straight and said, “Miss Han, there is something you said wrong. I am not confident in myself, but I have trust in him.”
After she was done speaking, Leng Zhiyuan lifted her heels and walked out.
Han Xuan sat down on the chair for a long time and did not move. There were painful tears in her eyes, and her right hand that she used to hold her chopsticks was tightly clenched into a fist.
...
Leng Zhiyuan walked out, and at this moment, Ye Ziyi came over from the opposite side. “Zhiyuan, have you eaten breakfast already? Let’s have it together.”
The seating in the dining room was free seating. It was also nothing much for her to be seated with Ye Ziyi, but when she thought about the constant reminders from the man before he left, she curled the corners of her lips up as she shook her head, “Director Ye, I am waiting for someone. You can go and eat first.”
Ye Ziyi’s gaze flickered, but there was no awkwardness from being rejected on his face. He nodded his head warmly, and he looked at the corners of her lips as he said, “What is wrong with this part?”
“Oh.” Leng Zhiyuan used her hand to block it from sight, and there was a hint of sweetness that appeared on her small attractive face as she said, “I was not careful and bumped into something.”
Ye Ziyi noticed her expression, but he did not have a single expression on his face as he said, “Be more careful the next time. You can wait for the person. I will go and eat breakfast first.”
“Okay.”
Ye Ziyi lifted his heels and left.
“Older Sister-in-law!” At this moment, Xiao Zhi ran inside in a hurry and said, “Older Sister-in-law, have you eaten breakfast already?”
“I have not. Let’s eat it together.”
