Chapter 929 - I Will Listen to You (2/2)

How could Leng Zhiyuan not understand the implications behind what he’d just said? She curled the corners of her mouth and punched him again. “Stop talking and go to sleep!”

“Mmm, good night, honey!”

…

At five o’clock in the morning, Ah Chen was waiting outside Zhou Yao’s tent.

Soon, the curtain of the tent was lifted and Leng Zhiyuan walked out.

“Miss…”

Leng Zhiyuan quickly put her index finger to her lips and gestured silence. Zhou Yao was still asleep inside. He was tired of real, so she didn’t want to wake him up.

Ah Chen knew that Miss Leng and Major General Zhou had gotten back together, but he knew better to not intrude on their privacy. “Miss, the jet is ready.”

“Mmm, let’s head back.”

…

The next day, Leng Zhiyuan flew back to T city. She gave her big brother Leng Hao a call as soon as she landed and then went straight to Ye Ziyi’s loft.

The maid quickly opened the door. “Hello, Miss Leng.”

“Mmm,” Leng Zhiyuan glanced into the living room and found it empty. So she asked, “Where’s Mr. Ye?”

“Mr. Ye is upstairs in the study room because Senior Ye is here.”

Ye’s father is here?

Leng Zhiyuan’s eyes flinched, then she headed up the stairs.

There were two bodyguards in black guarding the door of the study room. The door of the study room was left open. Leng Zhiyuan had just taken a step forward when she heard a crisp slap coming from the study. Pa!

Leng Zhiyuan came to a halt. At this time, Father Ye was already walking out with a gloomy face.

Father Ye glanced at her but didn’t acknowledge her. Instead, he left quickly with the two bodyguards who were dressed in black.

Leng Zhiyuan watched as the front door closed. She then walked into the study. She saw Ye Ziyi standing by the desk. His face was tilted to the side, remained in the same posture as when Father Ye had just slapped him.

“Ziyi…” she called out.

Ye Ziyi slowly turned his head. There was a bright red palm print on his fair, jade-like right cheek. He looked a little embarrassed.

“Ziyi, are you okay?”

Ye Ziyi shook his head, “I’m fine. I’m used to it.”

He looked like his usual self, and his expression didn’t change much. Leng Zhiyuan glanced at him then said, “Why did your father hit you?”

“Oh, maybe he wasn’t satisfied with my work. He’s like that. I’m just a chess piece. If I have no value, he’ll just throw me away.” Ye Ziyi smiled gently but self-deprecatingly.

“Ziyi, have you ever loved your father?” Leng Zhiyuan asked out of the blue.

Ye Ziyi was stunned, then he slowly raised his head to look at her.

Leng Zhiyuan looked straight into his eyes, “Your father is a very smart man. He has three sons, but he doesn’t seem to love any of them. He only loves his one and only daughter, Ye Xiaotao. All of you think that’s because Ye Xiaotao’s biological mother is the love of your father’s life. But how much sincerity can a womanizer like your father have for a woman?”

“Perhaps your father had long seen through the secret battle for power between his three sons. He knew that none of his sons loved him. All they wanted was his money and power. They wished for him to die early to take his place. Ye Xiaotao was the only one who truly loved her father. Xiaotao was like a lotus flower, untainted by mud.”
