Chapter 786: Having Feelings For Him

In Leng Mu’s villa

After hearing that his precious daughter was here, Leng Mu was extremely excited and rushed down from upstairs as he said, “Zhiyuan, you are back already? It is raining so heavily outside, why didn’t you stay over at your older brother’s place…? Ah, Zhiyuan, what is wrong with you?”

Leng Zhiyuan stood in the living room, and her entire body was drenched in cold rain water. Her dark hair was all wet as it stuck to her face. Compared to her entire body that was already so cold, her face was even colder.

Leng Mu felt very bad for her and said, “Zhiyuan, why are you so drenched so badly? Quickly go upstairs to take a hot shower. I will ask the chef to make some ginger soup for you. Go up quickly; don’t catch a cold.”

“Dad, I will go upstairs then.” Leng Zhiyuan headed upstairs.

…

In the bathroom upstairs, Leng Zhiyuan stood underneath the shower head. The warm water flowed down from the top of her head, and she stretched her hand out to wipe her small face.

There was a cold and mocking smile on the corners of her lips. If she had not seen what she saw in person just now, she would not be able to believe that he wouldn’t behave like when she wasn’t looking. He ignored the missions assigned to him by the country and came over to Hong Kong to talk with a girl on the street.

He was really so romantic.

It was probably a moment of gentleness for a masculine man.

Actually, she didn’t have many feelings about it. She just felt very…unsatisfied. He already had someone, so why did he still have to come and flirt with her and even ask her to wait for him to come back?

She was a joke. He’d also explained it to her clearly. The three months were going to be boring. She was beautiful, and any man would try to flirt with her to bear with the boredom. He did not really have feelings, and he just nonchalantly told her to wait for him to come back. She was really so silly as she waited for him to come back to the Zhou home.

Waiting for what?

Waiting for him to confess?

Leng Zhiyuan, do you…have feelings for him?

She asked herself inside her heart.

She probably did. He had the good qualities of a soldier. He knew how to cook and wash clothes… He looked very handsome, and he was bad and rogue as he teased others. It was irritating but also…mesmerizing… On the outside, he was nonchalant and cool, but he was also a child with a story, and he also had a heart that was once troubled.

She’d really fallen for him, and now her heart…felt so so much pain.

This feeling was something that she had not felt before, and it was probably the feeling of…love.

She’d only been in the Zhou family for half a month, and she’d already used these two weeks to like a person.

Leng Zhiyuan raised her head up. She let the water run down her face again and again. Who was she? She was Leng Zhiyuan. Although she’d totally fallen in love with him, she could climb back up again and leave.

She only liked him a little. Her pain would only last for a short time. She could take the chance right now when it was still in time and delete him from her heart swiftly and completely.

She’d liked him before and treated it as a secret that only she knew about.

…

The next morning, Leng Zhiyuan went downstairs to eat her meal in the dining room. Leng Mu had long asked the chef to make an entire table of the dishes that she loved to eat, and he asked, “Zhiyuan, did you get better? Did you get a cold?”

“No, Dad, I am very good.” Leng Zhiyuan sat down and took her chopsticks up to eat her meal.

Leng Mu could not stop adding dishes into her bowl as he asked, “Zhiyuan, are you used to it in T City? Do the people in the Zhou family treat you well or not? Does Major General Zhou treat you well?”

Although he’d picked the Zhou family, he had the heart of a father and just liked to be naggy.

Leng Zhiyuan took a bite of rice and nodded her head. “Yeah, I am very good. They treat me very well.”

“Then Dad is relieved.” Leng Mu let out a breath of air in relief, then he smiled secretly as he said, “Zhiyuan, I have a piece of good news to tell you. Do you want to hear it?”

“Yeah?” she hummed out nonchalantly.

“Major General Zhou gave me a call just now.”

Leng Zhiyuan’s long eyelashes froze before they dropped down quickly as she replied, “Oh.”.

“Major General Zhou said that he’s been busy with other matters in the past two days. He only found out last night that you’d flown back to Hong Kong. He is also in Hong Kong right now, and he’s coming over this afternoon to visit.”

Leng Zhiyuan lowered her head down to eat and did not say anything.

“Zhiyuan, look at how thoughtful Major General Zhou is. The moment he ended his mission, he thought about you, and I guess that he must have specially flown over to Hong Kong to visit his father-in-law before bringing you away at the same time.”

Leng Zhiyuan smiled coldly, and her smile disappeared in a flash.

“Zhiyuan, I have already asked the helpers to buy groceries. I have to receive my good son-in-law well in the afternoon. I have asked someone to send a dress to your room. Put it on for me. A woman should look like a woman! Dad’s biggest wish is for you and your older brother to be blissful. Your older brother is a huge mess right now, but when I look at how you and Major General Zhou are doing, I am very comforted.”

…

In the afternoon, Zhou Yao held a large present in his arms as he knocked on the main doors of the Leng family.

Leng Mu quickly stopped the helper who was about to open the door and said, “I will do it. I will do it myself, haha.”

He ran over to open the main door, and when he had a look at Zhou Yao, he smiled brightly as he said, “Good Son-in-law, you are here finally. Both Zhi Yuan and I have been waiting for you at home for very long now. Please come in quickly.”

“Dad, I went to buy some presents, so I took some time.” Zhou Yao placed the presents in the living room, and he naturally addressed him as Dad, just as Leng Zhiyuan normally did with her father-in-law.

Leng Mu was even more elated by this move. He squinted his eyes as he had a good look at Zhou Yao. Zhou Yao was dressed in a short black jacket and had a pair of slim dark brown pants. He had a pair of black boots on his feet. Looking entirely handsome and charismatic, he had a great aura to him. Leng Mu’s taste was right. After Zhou Yao removed his military uniform, he was just like a man from a wealthy family.

The aura on a man could not be faked.

“Haha, good Son-in-law, in the future, when you come over, don’t bring any presents. We are all family, so why are you being courteous? If you have the heart to do so, just bring Zhiyuan back home more often in the future; I just have one precious daughter.”

“Okay, in the future, as long as she wants to come back, I will bring her back.” Zhou Yao spoke as he scanned the living room. There was no one there, and his gaze went upstairs.

Leng Mu knew that Zhou Yao was definitely looking for Leng Zhiyuan, and he looked at the helpers as he said, “Where is Young Miss? Didn’t I ask her to dress up quickly and come down? Go and have a look. Say that Major General Zhou is here already, and ask her to be quick.”

“Yes, Old Master!” The helper went upstairs.

“Good Son-in-law, I think that Zhiuuan is shy. Early this morning, I asked her to doll herself up well, and she went inside her room and did not come out. I think that she must have wanted to give you a surprise.”

Surprise?

Zhou Yao slowly curled the corners of his lips. He did not dare to hope for a surprise from her.

“Old Master,” Suddenly, the helper came down from upstairs and said, “Young Miss is missing. She is not inside her room.”

“What?”

…

And for the entire week after that, Zhou Yao did not see Leng Zhiyuan around. Leng Mu was extremely anxious. He gave Leng Hao a call. Leng Hao said that she seemed to have gone overseas to settle some matters.

Leng Mu was furious as he stomped his feet at home.

Zhou Yao stayed in a hotel, and that afternoon, he stood on the open air balcony in the room. He did not have a top on, but he had a pair of black trousers on the bottom. His sculpted muscles were basking in the sun’s rays and had a honey glow to them. He lit a cigarette in his left hand and squinted his eyes as he smoked. He used his right hand to listen to his phone, and his phone was still replaying that female robotic voice — Sorry, the number that you have dialled is switched off.

She did not answer her phone.
