Chapter 914 - Reminiscing (1/2)

Zhou Yao was done speaking, and Han Xuan froze entirely.

“Older Brother Zhou, what do you mean? What do you mean by this will be my room in the future? How about you? You…”

“I will sleep next door,” Zhou Yao replied simply.

Sleep next door?!

Han Xuan took in a breath of cold air. Wasn’t he refusing to touch her and did not want to consummate the marriage with her? But, she was already his wife!

This would not do. She did not want to be in a fake marriage.

“Older Brother Zhou, you cannot treat me like that. It is our newly wedded night tonight. If you go out now to sleep, what would your family members think? What would those helpers think after they find out about this? You have put me in a very difficult spot. How do you want me to face them all in the future?”

Zhou Yao had a glance at Han Xuan, who was extremely emotional. He did not say anything at all, but he parted his long legs immediately and left.

“Older Brother Zhou!” Han Xuan screamed out loud, as she went over to tug Zhou Yao’s sleeve.

But she did not manage to do so. Zhou Yao had already left with large strides. The door of the room shut in her face with a loud bang!

Han Xuan’s face was pale. She was frozen in the wheelchair. Her eyes were very wet, and her eyes were instantly flooded with tears, but she controlled them fiercely. She did not allow the tears to flow.

She was already living very pathetically, but she was unwilling to admit to it.

She did not want to be more pathetic!

Today was a day of great joy for her. Even though there was not a single person on earth that was willing to celebrate for her and feel happy for her, at the very least, she did not want to cry. She wanted to smile; she worked hard to smile!

Knock, knock! The sound of someone knocking on the door rang out as someone said, “Young Mistress, can I come inside?”

The professional nurse’s voice rang out in the air.

Han Xuan quickly raised her gaze and controlled the tears back in her eyes as she said, “Come in.”

The professional caretaker helped her wash her face and take a bath. She did not protest at all and allowed the caretaker to serve her. She looked up at the ceiling and swore to herself inside her heart. She had already entered the Zhou family. There would be a day when she would truly get Zhou Yao!

…

Zhou Yao entered the room next door. He looked at the familiar decorations in the room. It was still like how it looked in the past, but it was lacking a certain person.

Zhou Yao threw the shirt in his hands over to the sofa casually. He stepped forward with his long legs. He was tall and standing up straight, then lay down on the large, soft bed. He was exhausted. He exhaled and closed his eyes.

He was very tired…

He did not do anything at all, but his body seemed to feel empty of energy.

He slowly turned his body over to the side and stretched his hand out to scoop the pillow by his side into his embrace, and he buried his nostrils into the pillow deeply. The fragrance of her hair was still let on the pillow.

This was her pillow, and it was never changed.

His mind went back to when he saw her outside the Civil Affairs Bureau. She was so quiet as she stood there to look at him. He saw many things in her gaze, and it was the same in his eyes.

Loss, pain, sadness, and memories…

Leng Zhiyuan…

He said her name inside his heart silently, then he firmly hugged her pillow in his embrace. He did not want to shower, he was too lazy to move, and he shut his eyes just like that.

…

The next morning

With the help of the professional caretaker, Han Xuan was done washing up, and she headed out the door.
