Chapter 856: I Know That You Are Unwilling

When did he become so smooth with his words?

Leng Zhiyuan rolled her eyes at him and roughly pinched his ear as she said, “You are still going on?”

Zhou Yao bent over, and their faces were almost against one another’s. He blinked and had a fatigued smile on his face as he said, “Okay, Wifey, don’t be angry anymore. I’m just blurry with anger just now. I will be better once I am done letting my craziness out. Don’t worry about me.”

His tone became soft suddenly. Leng Zhiyuan felt too bad to continue grabbing him, so she let go of his ear.

They went into the bathroom. Leng Zhiyuan was on the ground. She had a look and saw that Zhou Yao was filling the tub for her.

“After you are done with your confinement, you can soak in hot water for a while. Remove your clothes quickly and get in.” The man stood behind her as he hurried her.

She turned her head back to glare at him as she said, “Go out!”

“Wifey, I will help you scrub your back.”

“Thank you, but there is no need for that.”

“Then I will hand the towel to you…”

“I have a hand!”

“Then I will…”

“Zhou Yao!”

“I get it.” Zhou Yao was disappointed and raised his eyebrows. He had a glance at her figure from head to toe, and he went outside. As he walked, he muttered to himself, “Which part of your body have I not seen before? Not only have I seen it before, I even touched it, and kissed it…”

Bang! The woman kicked the door shut behind him.

…

Zhou Yao stood on the balcony as he smoked. There were seven butts in the ashtray. He lowered his gaze to look at his wrist watch. One hour had passed, but that woman was still not out of the bathroom.

He stubbed half a cigarette butt into the ashtray. He raised his hand to flick the ash that fell onto his pants, then walked over to the bathroom door, and he originally wanted to go inside directly, but after thinking about it for a moment, he decided not to do so. He would give her some face. Knock, knock. He knocked on the door.

“Wifey, are you done washing up? The water is almost cold now. Come out quickly.”

No sound came from inside.

Zhou Yao did not have too much patience. He looked at the firmly shut door. His heart itched. His gaze lit up for a moment, and he pushed the door and went inside.

There was no movement inside the bathroom. The bamboo basket was filled with her discarded clothes. Leng Zhiyuan was sitting in the bathtub. Maybe it was because the warm water was too comfortable that she was perched on one side of the tub as she fell asleep.

Zhou Yao lowered his gaze to look at her. She’d tied her long hair up. A large piece of snowy white skin was exposed on her neck and collarbones. A few strands of hair landed by the side of her cheek. She looked extremely mesmerizing. The skin all over her body was steamed to a cute shade of pink.

He looked at her for a moment, and he instinctively straightened his waist.

He cursed softly inside his heart. He should not have been greedy for this moment. His body felt uncomfortable at the end of it.

Lately, he could not get close to her, and he missed her very very much.

He stretched his right hand out to ruffle her hair as he said, “Zhiyuan, Zhiyuan…”

Leng Zhiyuan was in a blur, and she heard someone calling her. She opened her sleepy eyes slowly. Zhou Yao’s handsome and perfect face was right in front of her.

How did she end up falling asleep?

“How did you get in?”

As she spoke, she straightened her body up. She did not hear the man’s reply for a long time, and she raised her head up to look at Zhou Yao. The man by her side was already staring at her intently.

She quickly lowered her gaze to look at herself. Half of her cleavage was exposed.

She immediately stretched her hand out to cover herself as she said, “You are not allowed to look!”

Zhou Yao slowly raised his gaze, and it was fixed on the woman’s face. His gaze was hot and scalding, and it was just as if a pot of thick lava was burning her.

But he was very silent. He stared at her firmly. He turned around and stretched his hand out to hand the clean towel to her as he said, “The water is already cold now. Come out quickly.”

His low voice sounded very hoarse.

Leng Zhiyan did not know how she’d fallen asleep. She stood up quickly before she stepped out of the bathtub. When her feet landed on the ground, her calf felt numb, and her legs went soft immediately.

It was just as if Zhou Yao had eyes on the back of his head. “Be careful!” He turned around to carry her steadily.

She’d sat down in the bathtub for too long, and her legs went numb, so they gave way, but at this moment, she did not have any time to be caring about this. She was in his embrace, and she was not wearing any clothes.

She hurriedly raised her gaze to look at him, and just as she expected, the man was staring at her body. She quickly raised her hand to block his eyes as she said, “Can’t you just not look?”

Zhou Yao did not move. He curled his lips up slowly and said, “My eyes are not blind. Why wouldn’t I look when you’ve given me the chance?”

“You!”

“I cannot learn how to be fake like some people. I look when I want to look.”

Leng Zhiyuan was at a loss for words. At a time like this, he still could not forget to throw shade at Ye Ziyi. He was great at being bold while behaving like a rascal.

She struggled and wanted to escape his embrace.

But Zhou Yao was unwilling to let go. He pulled the bath towel off the rack and wrapped her up tightly, then he carried her in his arms as he headed outside. He laughed and said, “Wifey, I am just having a look. Don’t worry about the thoughts that I have inside my heart. I know that you are unwilling.”

All of Leng Zhiyuan’s struggles stopped at this moment. The man allowed her to cover his eyes, and he still could head forward with steady steps although he was carrying her in his arms. There was a small smile on the corners of his lips, but this smile made others feel…sad when they saw him.

She froze for a moment. It turned out that this man could make this kind of expression.

He placed her onto the large bed, and she uncovered his eyes. Zhou Yao slowly stood up straight and said, “Wipe the drops of water off, and put some clothes on quickly. I will go to the kitchen to cook.”

He turned around and walked out.

…

Half an hour later, the door was pushed open. The one who came inside was not Zhou Yao but a helper.

The helper held a meal tray and said, “Young Miss, it is time for dinner now.”

Leng Zhiyuan had a glance at the dishes. These dishes were all cooked by Zhou Yao personally. She’d eaten his food the whole month, and she just had to glance at it to know it.

The helper handed a bowl of rice to her. She took the chopsticks and picked a mouthful of rice. She did not raise her head up as she asked, “Where is Son-in-law?”

He would normally feed her personally, but he did not do so today.

“Young Miss, Son-in-law is downstairs. Son-in-law told us to let you know, after Young Miss is done with dinner, you can go to rest. He has something that he is busy with. He will sleep later.”

“Oh,” Leng Zhiyuan answered.

…

At night, Leng Zhiyuan was unable to fall asleep. She turned and flipped around the bed. She had a look at the sofa in front of her. The sofa was empty. He had yet to return to the room.

She turned her gaze over to the side to look at the alarm clock. It was almost nine o’clock at night.

What was he doing?

Leng Zhiyuan sat up and got out of bed. She opened the door. The light in the living room was still on, but instead of the white fluorescent lighting, it was the amber light. There was a figure seated on the sofa in the living room.

She slowly went downstairs and approached the side of the sofa. Zhou Yao leaned his handsome back against the sofa. He held documents in his left hand that he’d lazily placed on the side of the sofa. His head was leaning back, and he closed his eyes.

Leng Zhiyuan looked at him carefully. She had not really looked at him for a month now. His features were defined and perfect, and he had an extremely strong masculine scent to him. It had been so long now, and she still fell for him when she looked at him.

But it seemed that he had lost weight. He’d slimmed down quite a bit. Under the amber light, his firm chin had a layer of stubble on it, and it made his entire being look extra tired. Even though he was sleeping, there was a tightly knitted frown on his face, and it seemed that there was something troubling him that he was unable to handle.
