Chapter 812: Something Happened At Home
“I…” Zhou Yao wanted to explain.
“Zhou Yao, I also wanted to ask you…” Leng Zhiyuan spoke softly as she said, “I want Han Xuan to disappear completely from your life. Can you do this?”
Zhou Yao became silent.
Leng Zhiyuan glanced at him before she turned around and went back to the room.
There was no movement downstairs, and Leng Zhiyuan lay down on the bed as she closed her eyes gently. Tonight was fated to be a sleepless night.
…
The next morning
Leng Zhiyuan just finished her meal and received a call from Ye Ziyi. “Hello…”
“Hello, Zhiyuan, it is the weekend, and the sun is up and shining. Should we go shopping?” Ye Ziyi’s voice was gentle as usual.
Leng Zhiyuan raised her head up to have a look outside the window and said, “I can’t, I…”
“Sii.” A painful grunt came out from the other end.
“Ye Ziyi, what is wrong?”
“Major General Zhou gave me a punch on my chest yesterday, and it hurts a little right now. Zhiyuan, would you accompany me to go over to the hospital?”
This sentence made Leng Zhiyuan unable to reject him. After all, he was an innocent party, and it was she who’d brought Ye Ziyi into all of this. She felt very guilty and said, “Okay.”
Leng Zhiyuan just stepped out the door, and Ye Ziyi had already driven the Ferrari over to pick her up. They went over to the hospital, the doctor bandaged him up, and left through the main doors.
“Zhiyuan, there is a café next door. Let’s go inside to have a seat,” Ye Ziyi suggested to her.
When she was not out on a mission, she was bored. She had a glance at the café that had an elegant ambience, and she nodded her head and said, “Okay.”
They went in together.
…
The ambience inside the café was very good. They were seated opposite one another byt he windows. The service staff served two cups of coffee and some snacks.
A pianist was playing in the main lounge. Leng Zhiyuan had a sip of coffee before she looked over at the pianist.
“Zhiyuan, is he playing well?”
“Yeah, not bad.”
“How is he compared to me?”
Leng Zhiyuan fluttered her long eyelash and said, “Of course, you are the best.”
Ye Ziyi had a warm smile on his face. He lifted his eyebrows and said, “Zhiyuan, wait here.”
Wait for what?
Leng Zhiyuan was puzzled.
Ye Ziyi stood up, and he lifted his heels and walked over to the pianist. He conversed softly with him, and the pianist nodded his head. He turned around and left. Ye Ziyi took the microphone and simply said, “Hello everyone, for the past few years, I have been in love with a girl, and the Heavens were good. A while ago, I met her again, and now I want to dedicate this song to her.”
Ye Ziyi stretched his hand out to point at Leng Zhiyuan.
Everyone in the café looked over at them. They were all jealous. Leng Zhiyuan tugged the corners of her lips up; she was not suited to this kind of situation.
Ye Ziyi put the microphone down. His fair fingers were pressing down on the black and white keys, and he started to play the piano elegantly.
This was a short romantic French melody. The story was about a man wooing a beautiful lady. Leng Zhiyuan knew a little bit about the music.
Suddenly, the bright rays of the sun shone down onto her from the French windows. She was entirely immersed in the song. In such an ambience, with a man like Ye Ziyi chasing her, any woman would definitely be blissful in that situation.
Leng Zhiyuan had a small smile on the corners of her lips.
Actually, it was not hard for her to let go of Zhou Yao. The key was left in the word, willing…
Was she willing or not?
She had a simple life. Other than going on missions, her father and older brother protected her very well. She’d secretly had a crush on Ye Ziyi in her teenage years, and that was because Ye Ziyi was bright and warm. Other than the most important point, Ye Ziyi was very clean, and he was just like the clear water from a stream. She could see the bottom of the lake easily, and she liked pure, clean things.
And after that, she spent a month and developed feelings for Zhou Yao. The feelings made her feel horrible. He was not clean at all, and he had the classic craziness of a man in him. He was easily frustrated, arrogant, and he liked to tease her. He liked to pull and push her feelings. The few times they were supposed to go on dates, he would not show up. Also, he had Han Xuan by his side…
She believed that any woman would not be able to bear with a person like Han Xuan beside their man.
Similarly, she could not!
Leng Zhiyuan placed her gaze back on Ye Ziyi. She had not seen him for years, and he was just the same as before. When he played the piano, he looked just like an educated young man. She felt very relaxed and felt that all of this felt very pleasant.
At the end of the piece, there was a thunderous applause in the café. Ye Ziyi looked over at Leng Zhiyuan, and Leng Zhiyuan gave him a small smile.
Ye Ziyi also curled the corners of his lips up. He stood up, and at this moment, a waiter holding onto a tray of alcohol walked over. The worker did not expect that Ye Ziyi would stand up so suddenly, and he was about to crash directly into Ye Ziyi.
Leng Zhiyuan’s expressions changed, and she thought that both of them would definitely collide.
But at this critical moment, Ye Ziyi tilted his body over to the side to duck away, and the service worker brushed past him.
Leng Zhiyuan’s gaze lit up immediately. She was trained in martial arts. She could tell with one glance if a person was trained in martial arts or not. Ye Ziyi was reserved like a piece of jade, and she thought that he did not seem to trained, but when he turned his body and ducked towards the side, even if it was her in that situation, she would be unable to do it with such a precision that not a single drop of red wine would stain her clothing.
It was her eyes that did not see carefully, or…
“Zhiyuan…” At this moment, Ye Ziyi walked over.
Leng Zhiyuan curled the corners of her lips up silently and complimented him, “You really played so well…”
She had yet to finish her words when her phone started to ring, and she received a call.
She lowered her gaze to have a look. It was a call from Madam Zhou.
Leng Zhiyuan hesitated for a few seconds before she took the call. “Hello, Mum…”
“Hello, Zhiyuan, where are you right now?” Madam Zhou was anxious as she spoke on the phone.
“Mum, I am out. What’s the matter?”
“Zhiyuan, there is trouble at home. Zhou Yao went on some crazy streak last night and drove the car directly into the army base. Not only did he crash through the main gate, he even triggered off the alarms in the army base. Your grandfather found out about it and is extremely furious right now. Zhou Yao is kneeling down in the memorial hall, and your grandfather is going to hit him with the whip.”
“What?” Leng Zhiyuan was alarmed, Zhou Yao last night…
“Zhiyuan, quickly come back to stop them. This time, your grandfather is really furious.”
“Okay, Mum, I will go back right now.”
Leng Zhiyuan hung up and stood up quickly. She was apologetic as she looked over at Ye Ziyi and said, “I am sorry. I have an urgent matter to attend to, I must go.”
Ye Ziyi was warm as he smiled. “It’s fine. You can go and get busy with your matters/ Do you want me to drive you there?”
“There is no need for that, thank you.” Leng Zhiyuan left in a hurry.
Ye Ziyi looked through the French windows as he watched Leng Zhiyuan stand on the main streets and flag a cab. When her figure disappeared, Ye Ziyi slowly eased his smile. He took the cup of coffee and he emotionally and elegantly took a sip.
…
In the Zhou family mansion
The helpers opened the main door. Leng Zhiyuan ran into the memorial hall immediately, and she’d just reached the door when she heard Old Master Zhou growl out in anger. “This unfilial kid, I will give you the last chance right now. Why did you drive into the army base last night? Tell me the reason. If you do not, I will definitely not spare you today!”
Zhou Yao knelt down on the carpet, and his handsome back was straight, but his expression was cool and unbothered. He spat out four words that made Old Master Zhou vomit blood. “My thighs were sore.”
