novelLet's Break Up

If this was the case, she still had to thank him for that then?
Leng Zhiyuan turned around and threw the towel over to him.
Zhou Yao reacted quickly and caught the towel. He turned his head back to look. The woman was already lying down and was sleeping with her back facing him.
His gaze instantly became loving. He bent over and tucked her in.
How could he not love this woman?
She was strong inside her bones, but she did not lose the gentleness of a woman. Although she was hurt at Bin Jiang Island, she was still calm as she arranged the matters involving her father well. When they went back to the airport, she defended him in front of Leng Hao. Even though she did not say it, she deeply understood his stance and difficulties inside her heart.
The child was gone. She was unwilling to speak much to him. She was unwilling to be close with him, but no matter what, she could not be considered to be cold. He heard that women all loved to use the silent treatment, but she did not seem to like it. She was a cool and chic girl.
She was not saying much to him. She was angry with him but gave him a reaction. He felt very happy.
Time would slowly heal the wounds, and he believed that things would get better tomorrow.
...
Leng Zhiyuan lay down on the bed for half a month, and Zhou Yao was by her side all the time as he took care of her. She lay down on the bed to rest for the entire time, and one afternoon, she got out of bed.
She opened the door and stood near the railings engraved with flowers. She had a look, and Zhou Yao was busy in the kitchen. The man wore a dark blue v-neck sweater and a pair of black casual pants. He folded his sleeves up as he was busy inside the kitchen, looking handsome and warm.
Leng Zhiyuan headed over to the living room again. Leng Hao was also back today, and he was standing by the side of the French windows to make a call.
Leng Hao's expression was not too good. There was an icy cold smile on the corners of his lips as he said, "I understand what Old Master Ye wants to bring across. Your precious daughter is pregnant now. The child cannot not have a father, so you want to look for a husband for her...
"Hah, Old Master Ye is sincere in doing business. I believe in Old Master Ye's skills, but what does your precious daughter think? Is she willing to marry me?
"Okay, I will give you the answer tomorrow."
Leng Hao hung up.
Leng Zhiyuan stood on the stairs as she looked at her older brother. After he hung up, the right hand that he used to hold the phone was drooped by his side. He had a frown on his face as he looked out of the window, and she did not know what he was thinking about.
At this moment, the sound of a ringtone rang out in the air. Leng Hao got another call.
Leng Hao had a look at the caller ID, and his defined features became gentle, but he lifted his hand up to pinch his nose. It seemed that he was very frustrated and fatigued, as he answered the call."Hello, Yun Er..."
She did not know what the person on the other end said, but the frown on Leng Hao's face got even deeper. He tried to lower his volume as he explained, "Yun Er, listen to me explain. The Leng family has met with some trouble right now. I need some time to handle them... Everything is not what you think it is. Ye Xiaotao and I... With regards to Ye Xiaotao getting pregnant..."
It was very obvious that Leng Hao's words were constantly getting interrupted. After a few minutes of silence, Leng Hao spoke suddenly."Okay, Bai Lingyun. Let's break up officially then."
He hung up.
Leng Zhiyuan stood on the stairs for the entire time to look on. She raised her eyebrows up lightly, and Leng Hao put his phone away. He was about to leave when he suddenly saw Leng Zhiyuan upstairs.
Leng Hao broke out into a smile immediately as he said, "Zhiyuan, why did you get out of bed and take a walk? Go back to lie on the bed quickly. You do not have to worry about the matters at home. Older Brother will handle them well."
Leng Zhiyuan did not say a single word, and she nodded her head.
Leng Hao walked out.
...
Ah Chen came over at night, and he stood politely by the side of the bed.
Leng Zhiyuan leaned against the headboard. She looked at Ah Chen as she asked, "How is my Older Brother doing?"
"Young Miss, in the last two weeks, Young Master has been busy with matters regarding Old Master and the Leng family. Old Master was involved in this criminal case, and his identity is extremely complicated. The Leng family is under investigation from the top. The developments are very slow and tough, but Young Master got a call from the Ye family of Kyoto in the past few days..."
Ah Chen stopped talking, and he carefully observed the expression on Leng Zhiyuan's face.
"Yeah." Leng Zhiyuan ignored Ah Chen's gaze and nodded her head calmly as she said, "Is the Ye family offering an olive branch to my older brother? As long as Older Brother is willing to marry Ye Xiaotao and is willing to take responsibility for the child in Ye Xiaotao's womb, the Ye family will help us out?"
"Yes... Young Master has been in a foul mood recently, and the Young Miss of the Bai family has been throwing a tantrum. Young Master has to comfort her on one end. To gather his power, the Ye family is the only choice right now."
Leng Zhiyuan nodded her head. The Ye family were powerful and strong in Kyoto. If the Ye family was willing to render assistance, then this was the best choice, but with Bai Lingyun...
She heard her older brother telling Bai Lingyun to break up over the phone personally today. Older Brother was always a man of his word. He was a true masculine man. He had known Bai Lingyun for the past ten years, and in the past ten years, they were together and broke up multiple times. Bai Lingyun had asked to break up umpteen times, but Older Brother never said the words break up.
Older Brother waited for Bai Lingyun for so many years.
Bai Lingyun was Older Brother's first love. The pure and beautiful love that started in university, and after that Bai Lingyun changed, their relationship became very materialistic, but Older Brother could not forget the relationship.
This time, Older Brother said those words out loud. She knew that Older Brother really wanted to break up with Bai Lingyun. Firstly, he said that he wanted to break up because of their father and the concession that he had to make for the difficulties that the Leng family were facing, and secondly, it was because Older Brother was really tired of this relationship. He was fatigued and wanted to let go.
In the past few years, Bai Lingyun was never truly by the side of Older Brother. The moment there was trouble, other than throwing a tantrum, Bai Lingyun could do nothing else, and Older Brother would comfort her again and again. His heart was fatigued now.
Men all hoped to find a woman who understood them.
But Bai Lingyun did not understand.
"How is the Zhou family doing?" Leng Zhiyuan continued to ask.
In the past two weeks, Zhou Yao had been taking care of her. He did not return to the base and also did not tell her anything about the matters that were happening outside, so she was unclear about them.
"Young Miss, the Zhou family is also under investigation, but the Zhou family has been in the military for so many years now. They have their own power and status. Although the Zhou family are under investigation and have much to worry about, they are not in any danger. The Zhou family should feel quite relaxed with the limited danger they are in right now."
Leng Zhiyuan heaved out a breath of relief. It was good that way.
The people in the Zhou family treated her very very well, and she hoped that her father's matter would not implicate them.
"I asked you to investigate the officer on the case. How are the investigations going?"
Ah Chen handed the documents in his hands over to Leng Zhiyuan as he said, "The investigations have been going very smoothly. The case files of the investigators are all here, but these case files are very clean, and I can't see any problems."
Leng Zhiyuan did not say anything, and she lowered her gaze to flip through the documents in her hands.
Ah Chen was puzzled as he said, "Young Miss, why did you think of finding these documents now. Could you be suspecting that Old Master's matter is somehow related to what happened on the base? But these two matters are so far off one another."
Leng Zhiyuan shook her head gently and said, "I am suspecting that these two things are related to Scorpion."
Ah Chen froze.
"I am suspecting that Scorpion's motive is to come for both me and Zhou Yao."
