novelZhou Yao, Goodbye
| ← Ch.0887 | Ch.0889 → |
Zhou Yao opened his eyes instantly and propped his body up, but everything was too late now. The woman beneath him was holding a needle in her hand, and she'd already stabbed the contents of the needle into his neck.
"Wifey, you..."
His hands that were propped on the bed immediately became soft, and he could not exert any strength.
She gave him a shot of an extremely strong anesthetic.
"Sorry, Hubby..." Leng Zhiyuan caressed his handsome face with her small hand, and she kissed his lips for the last time. This was also probably the last time she could call him, "Hubby".
She would not have another chance.
She turned around and came down from the bed, and she moved her hand to pick up the messy clothes that were thrown on the carpet as she put her clothes back on one by one.
A large palm tugged the sleeve of her shirt. Zhou Yao was unwilling to slip into unconsciousness with the anesthetic. He tugged the corner of her shirt as he clenched his teeth to ask her, "Why... did... you..."
Leng Zhiyuan lowered her gaze to look at him before she took the corner of her shirt back. She did not reply but said, "Han Xuan gave me a call. She said that she found a solution to save you. This solution is to exchange your blood. Han Xuan will use her own blood to save your life... I asked her whether it was worth it or not for her, and she said that it was worth...
"This needle will make you sleep for a while. Han Xuan will send someone to bring you over. The surgery is ready now. After you open your eyes again, you will probably have a new life. Zhou Yao..." Leng Zhiyuan had a bright smile on her face, as she took the corner of her shirt away and said, "Goodbye."
She turned around and left.
The moment she turned around, her face was already covered in tears. She headed towards the door. She knew that the moment she went out the door, she did not have any chance to start again with him; she would lose him entirely.
She did not bear to do so.
She loved him so deeply, and he loved her so deeply. She did not bear to let go.
But, she did not have any other choice.
Zhou Yao looked on as the woman disappeared before his gaze. He looked at the ceiling, and his vision was already starting to blur. There was a small first aid box beneath the cabinet by the side of the bed, and it was prepared to treat his wounds. He struggled to open the first aid box as he took out a pair of scissors, and he thrust the scissors into his thigh...
The pain in his thigh made him sweat a layer of cold sweat on his forehead, and at the same time, he forced himself to be a little more awake as he said, "Wifey..." He stepped down from the bed and chased after her. He pulled Leng Zhiyuan into his embrace.
He painfully raised his eyebrows. He shook his head and said, "Wifey, don't. I am begging you now..." His voice was extremely hoarse as he said, "I do not want to be indebted to the Han family anymore. I do not want to break up with you... Can you not let go of my hand..."
Leng Zhiyuan lifted her eyelids up, but it was of no use. The hot tears in her eyes could not stop falling down. She tugged on the corners of her lips as she said, "Live properly..."
She struggled as she took his arm away. She opened the door and walked out.
The man behind her fell onto the floor with a loud bang! He looked outside the door in the direction in which the woman disappeared. His eyes were all red as he called out after her, "Wifey... don't leave... don't..."
He closed his eyes.
...
Leng Zhiyuan went back to Leng Hao's villa. She locked herself in her room for an entire week. In that week, she did not step out of her room at all. Leng Hao and Ye Xiaotao looked on with worry. They were afraid that she would not be able to take it, that she'd do some silly things, but it was thankful that she would punctually eat all of her three meals that the helpers sent to her every day.
On the eighth day, the sun was bright, and it was a good day. Spring was officially here. Leng Zhiyuan opened the door and walked out.
"Zhiyuan, are you still alright?" Leng Hao was worried as he asked her.
Leng Zhiyuan's face did not have any trace of sadness in it. She curled the corners of her lips up as she said, "Older Brother, I am very good. You don't have to worry. I will not be negative. He is still alive, so what reason do I have to collapse?"
She would not collapse. She still had so many other things to do.
Both her and Zhou Yao were in pain and suffering. Her father was still in a coma. The Zhou and Leng families were in trouble, and someone had to pay the price for all of this.
Leng Hao was comforted as he nodded his head and said, "That's good then."
At this moment, Ye Xiaotao stepped forward to hold Leng Zhiyuan's hand as she said, "Older Sister Leng, are you really okay? Over the past few days, I was so worried. I was afraid that you..."
"Xiao Tao, I am fine."
Suddenly, the sound of a ringtone could be heard. Leng Zhiyuan received a call.
She took her phone out to have a look. It was Ye Ziyi.
The timing was so accurate.
"Older Brother, Xiao Tao, I will go and get this call." Leng Zhiyuan walked over to a corner by a side.
She took the call and said, "Hello, Director Ye."
"Hello, Zhiyuan, how have you been doing recently? I heard Xiao Tao talk about how both you and Major General Zhou have been doing. You two..."
"Yeah." Leng Zhiyuan nodded her head as she said, "He's accepted Han Xuan's blood exchange. I think... that he is probably fine now... Han Xuan risked her life to save him. With his character, he would not let Han Xuan go again. He and I... have already ended.."
"Zhiyuan..."
"Director Ye, you do not have to comfort me. I am a cool girl. I will not be negative about this... Originally, I was in a contract marriage with him. Although we both put feelings into it, we are unable to force this type of thing. We have fate but no destiny, and now, as long as he is able to all well, I will be fine. We will start afresh on our own, and we will be able to live very well."
"Zhiyuan, I am relieved to hear you speaking like that."
"Director Ye, don't talk about me anymore. I still have yet to thank you properly. If not for your help, I would not have had the chance to make it out alive. How about this, does Director Ye have time today? I will invite you out for some fun."
"Fun? Sure, where are we going?"
"Yeah, I've been all cooped up and have not been in a good mood. The weather is so great today. Let's relax properly. Older Brother said that exercising everyday is not bad. Let's find a place to exercise together, and after that, I will treat you to a meal."
"Okay, Zhiyuan. See you soon."
...
In the Beautiful Day Gym
Leng Zhiyuan saw Ye Ziyi coming over from the distance. He was dressed very casually. He wore a white baseball shirt together with a pair of casual pants. He had a pair of custom made leather shoes. He was clean and gentle from head to toe, and his appearance made others' gazes light up. He was just like a gust of breeze in spring.
He really had an aura of a successful elite, and when he walked the streets, he was the eye-catching type.
"Zhiyuan, you got here before me. It seems that I was late."
"No, I just arrived too. Let's go; let's go inside."
Both of them went into the gym together. Ye Ziyi looked at her stunning features as he gently asked her, "Zhiyuan, what sports do you like?"
"Director Ye, what about you?"
Ye Ziyi shrugged his shoulders as he said, "I am fine with everything. Baseball, bowling, golf, sparring, archery. I exercise normally and occasionally accompany the directors to play, so I know a little of everything."
His interests were all bright and elite, and he was really attractive to women.
Leng Zhiyuan raised her head up to look in front of her as she said, "Director Ye, let's go bowling then."
She stepped forward to throw a bowling ball, but she only hit two pins. She turned her head back to look at Ye Ziyi as she disappointedly said, "I would also accompnay my older brother to play bowling sometimes, but I am dumb. I never play well, and my older brother would always laugh at me."
"Bowling is very simple. Let me teach you."
