Chapter 936 - Stay Here Tonight (1/2)

Han Xuan knew that Zhou Yao would definitely not be able to find Leng Zhiyuan. Ye Ziyi was no ordinary guy? He was the First Young Master of the City. All these years, he had been hiding among the high-ups and had never been discovered. He was shrewd and meticulous. He took Leng Zhiyuan away knowing that no one would be able to find them.

Han Xuan recalled how she had been jealous of and hated Leng Zhiyuan at that dinner party. Because Leng Zhiyuan had found a better man soon after she left Zhou Yao. Han Xuan only wanted to laugh out loud at the moment. Leng Zhiyuan must have never guessed that Ye Ziyi was Scorpian, and that’s what you call karma.

She well deserved it!

Han Xuan thought that this was her chance. In the past, when Leng Zhiyuan was around, she could not win against her. But now that Leng Zhiyuan was no longer around, how could she possibly lose?

The passing of time is like the flowing water in a river. It dilutes and washes away memories and feelings. The mark left by Leng Zhiyuan in Zhou Yao’s heart will one day be erased by time.

One day, when Zhou Yao was in the study room, Han Xuan quietly entered the room in her wheelchair. The man was lying on the sofa with a few documents in his hands. He was resting with his eyes closed because he was worn out.

Han Xuan went to his side and looked at his face. In the past month or so, he had gotten thinner again. He looked fatigued and one could see the vicissitudes of time between his brows.

She reached out her hands slowly and massaged his head.

Zhou Yao moved his body instantly and the papers scattered onto the carpet. He seized her hands with his large palm.

Something tingled her hand. It was because he was gently kissing the back of her hand and the stubble on his strong jaw pricked her skin.

Han Xuan’s heart skipped a beat, and her entire face turned red.

“Zhiyuan…” Zhou Yao slowly opened his eyes and mumbled the name.

He turned to look at her. When he saw that it was Han Xuan, his big palm froze and then quickly let go of her hand. His expression showed only disappointment, “Why are you here?”

Han Xuan felt a little irritated when she heard him murmur Leng Zhiyuan’s name in his sleep. But she quickly let go of that anger. She didn’t need to be crossed about a person who was nowhere to be found.

What she should do now was to win back his heart using her gentleness.

“Brother Zhou, I know you’re very sad now. But Ye Ziyi had already taken Leng Zhiyuan away, and he seems to really like her. I believe that she will live happily. You should forget about her…”

Zhou Yao sat up and bent down to pick up the papers on the carpet. “I’ll find her! For sure!”

“You!” Han Xuan suppressed the jealousy and grudge in her heart. She constantly reminded herself to be patient with him and win over his heart one step at a time. “Big Brother Zhou, let’s not talk about this anymore. It’s time for dinner. Let’s go downstairs and eat. Only when we’re full will we have the strength to work.”

Zhou Yao glanced at her and then nodded, “Okay.”

Han Xuan smiled brightly, “Big Brother Zhou, push my wheelchair for me.”

When Zhou Yao helped her into the dining room, Han Xuan saw that grandpa Zhou, Zhou Yao’s parents, and the servants were all looking at her. She lifted her chin proudly. It had been a long time since she had shown up in the dining room together with Zhou Yao. So it’s only natural for these people to be impressed with her now that Zhou Yao was pushing her wheelchair.

Han Xuan felt that spring had truly arrived.

…

For three whole months, Han Xuan tried her best to stay by Zhou Yao’s side. They still spoke very little, and there seemed to be a wall between them. However, he allowed her to get close. She could even touch his shirt and pants. It’s a good sign.

The servants at home also began to treat her with respect and referred to her as “Madam.” She could finally give herself airs.

However, a fear accompanied her happiness — Leng Zhiyuan. What if Leng Zhiyuan came back?

If Leng Zhiyuan came back, then everything she enjoyed now would, without a doubt, cease to exist.

In the past three months, while she was by Zhou Yao’s side, the two of them would be talking, and all was well. However, if Zhou Yao received a phone call about Leng Zhiyuan, he would quickly take off, leaving her alone. This happened many times.

This fear in her heart grew stronger and stronger, like a black hole. The more she gained, the more fearful she became. Was Leng Zhiyuan dead?
