Chapter 927 - : Her Sweet Scent (1/2)
The brilliant smile on his face left Leng Zhiyuan in a trance. At this moment, Zhou Yao had already walked up to her. He reached out his hand, stroke her hair, and said lovingly, “What are you daydreaming about? Aren’t you happy that I’m back?”
Leng Zhiyuan immediately came back to her senses. She blinked and said, “That’s not it…”
Her attitude was very unenthusiastic, which was a sharp contrast to her attitude before he’d left. Zhou Yao frowned, then covered his abdomen with his hands and hissed in pain.
“What’s wrong? Are you hurt? Let me see!” Leng Zhiyuan widened her eyes and quickly ran to his side. She reached out to feel his abdomen.
It felt warm as if he was bleeding.
“How did you get hurt?”
“I was hit by a sharp reef just now, but… ” Zhou Yao looked at her nervous expression. “It’s just a scratch. It doesn’t hurt. If you weren’t so cold to me and were willing to smile for me… ”
He had the mood to joke at this time?
Leng Zhiyuan hit his shoulder with her fist.
Zhou Yao chuckled and reached out his long arm to embrace her.
She struggled twice, but he did not let go. The familiar strong masculine scent on his body made Leng Zhiyuan smile. Then she hugged him back.
Thank God for bringing him back!
…
Everyone then made their way out of the mountain and camped in the local tents. The doctors bandaged the injured patients one after another. The injury on Leng Zhiyuan’s neck was not serious. She would recover quickly after treatment.
Zhou Yao was in a different tent than her. She lifted the entrance curtain and walked in.
The man sat by the bed. He had taken off his shirt and was reapplying medicine treatment on his injured abdomen. His back was facing her. His built figure bathed in the warm sunlight. Leng Zhiyuan glanced at him. His shoulders were wide and his waist was small. The outline of his body was as smooth as a marbled wall, to the point of perfection.
Leng Zhiyuan felt her face burning. She did not expect to see such beautiful scenery of a man early in the morning.
She was about to turn around and leave.
At this moment, Zhou Yao noticed the noise behind him and turned his head. “Zhiyuan, you’re here? Just in time. Help me bandage my wound.”
Leng Zhiyuan did not run away after being discovered by him. He would think that she had a guilty conscience. “Sure,” She walked in.
Zhou Yao sat on the bed. One of his long legs stretched forward while the other was bent. Leng Zhiyuan went to the bedside, took the rolled gauze from the medical kit, and wrapped it around his waist.
“Let me know if it hurts,” she said.
“Mm-hmm,” Zhou Yao answered, then asked, “How did you find the Scorpion’s nest? Where did you get that painting? ”
Leng Zhiyuan knew that he would ask about this, and she answered calmly, “Ever since my father’s accident, I’ve suspected that this series of events had something to do with Scorpion. So I’ve been going after him. A few days ago, my brother suddenly brought this painting to me, saying that one of our underlings took it from a casino belonging to Scorpion. It seemed to be painted by Scorpion himself. I took a look at it and felt that there was something peculiar about the bracelet in the painting. So I sent Ah Chen to investigate, and here I am.”
“Oh, is that so?”
Is that so?
Leng Zhiyuan stopped what she was doing and looked at Zhou Yao. She frowned and asked, “What’s with the tone? Are you doubting me?”
Zhou Yao looked into her eyes and shook his head. “No, I’m just curious. You found out about something my team spent many years searching about fruitlessly in such a short time… I don’t have any ill intent, don’t overthink it.”
He reached out his hands and stroked her hair.
Leng Zhiyuan didn’t know if he really believed her or if he had his suspicions. She looked down naturally and continued to bandage him. “Who will take care of the rest?”
“Don’t worry. I’ve already informed the higher-ups. The research team will be here soon. Although the castle was destroyed by the explosion, there’s still valuable information that remains.”
“Mmm,” Leng Zhiyuan nodded.
