novelWhy Did You Come Back?
| ← Ch.0789 | Ch.0791 → |
After he was held in detention for an entire week, Zhou Yao drove back to the Zhou home.
The helpers opened the door. He walked into the living room and stopped in his tracks, then he had a look around the place.
"Young Master, who are you looking for? Are you looking for Young Mistress? A few days ago, Young Mistress gave us a call, and she said that she had a few issues to settle at her older brother's place. She had to stay in Hong Kong to help her family out, and she said that she would not come back for the next one or two months."
Zhou Yao was still wearing the camouflage military uniform that he'd been wearing for a few days. The uniform was already extremely crumpled, and he also had not washed his face. He looked as if he had gone out on a mission to Africa and just came back. He looked extremely dirty, so it was a good thing that he had a strong masculine scent on his body. He did not seem that dirty because of that.
Upon hearing those words, he curled the corners of his lip up. She had planned out her future, and it seemed that she really did not plan to come back anymore.
The moment the three months passed, there would be no relation between him and her anymore.
"What did the old fella say?"
"Old Master understands the difficulties of the Leng family and has allowed Young Mistress to do so."
Difficulties?
Hah, what difficulties could she have?
He knew that she just did not want to interact with him anymore. Ye Ziyi was so smart. Not only was he her ideal type, but he also had memories with her during their youth, and she was probably extremely happy in Hong Kong right now, with no intention to come back at all.
He could imagine it. She was such a cold and aloof girl, and no matter how masculine she was, she would still have feelings during her teenage years. She did not have a mother or any friends, . Ye Ziyi was probably the only soft part in the bottom of her heart.
And she was unable to forget him.
It was also good this way. She would go her own way, and he would go his...
But, why did he feel so bored?
After he returned to the army base, he could see her shadow everywhere in the house. She was furious after getting teased by him, and she loved to glare and puff her cheeks at him, looking extremely cute as she did so.
It was also the same in this house. After he walked through the door, he was about to search for her shadow.
At this moment, Old Master Zhou rushed down hurriedly from upstairs."This unfilial kid!" He waved the walking stick in his hand as he hit Zhou Yao's back."I heard that you stirred up trouble in the army base once again, and you were even grounded. You are really embarrassing me so much!"
"Dad, don't be angry." Madam Zhou stepped forward quickly to stop him as she said, "The child is already an adult now. He is married already. Dad, if you have anything you want to say, say it properly. Don't anger yourself and hurt your own body."
It was only then that Old Master Zhou forced himself to take a breath of air. He glared at Zhou Yao and said, "Say it yourself!"
Zhou Yao threw the car keys in his hands onto the coffee table before he laughed nonchalantly and said, "Grandfather, what do you want me to say?"
"You!"
"Zhou Yao!" Madam Zhou was fierce as she chided him, and she continued, "Director Yang has already given us a call to complain. He said that ever since you came back from Hong Kong, you've been behaving weirdly, and you've stirred up trouble in the army base for no good reason. Explain your actions, and don't make your grandfather angry anymore."
That Old Man Yang complained like that?
Ever since he came back from Hong Kong...
Zhou Yao's gaze lit up before he slumped down onto the sofa. He squinted his eyes, looked over at Old Master Zhou, and said, "Old man, let me tell you, the wife that you picked for me, I don't want her anymore. Her temper is too bad."
Madam Zhou's expression changed, and she said, "Zhou Yao, did you... quarrel with Zhiyuan. No wonder a few days ago... Zhiyuan called us and said that she was not going to come back for the next one or two months."
"It is better if she does not come back." Zhou Yao stood up as he ran upstairs."After we live separately from one another for two years, I will submit a divorce application to the courts!"
"You are such a rebel!" Old Master Zhou was extremely furious as he bellowed out.
"Dad..."
...
Inside the room, Zhou Yao was delighted as he lifted his strong eyebrows up. He put on a show just now, and he just would not believe it that the old man and his mother would not think of a plan to make Leng Zhiyuan come back.
Hmph! He would not let her get what she wished for.
She really planned her path out so well. After she made use of him, she kicked him away with one foot, and now she was dating her old friend in Hong Kong right now. She should dream on!
Didn't she not want to come back?
He just wanted to make her come back!
He secretly opened a gap in the door and looked downstairs. Old Master Zhou was seated down on the sofa, and his mother personally made a cup of tea to calm down his anger as she said, "Dad, it is very normal for a couple to argue with one another. Don't..."
"Normal? Didn't you hear what that chap said? He's not even been married for a month yet, and he is already thinking of divorce."
"Dad, that is what he said out of anger." As she spoke, his mother laughed softly and said, "Zhou Yao is your grandson. How can you not understand him? If he really does not like Zhiyuan, why would he behave weirdly ever since he returned from Hong Kong?"
"This..." Old Master Zhou was delighted.
"Dad, based on what I think, the thing that we should do right now is bring them together, and let them interact with one another privately, but Zhiyuan is in Hong Kong right now, and we cannot do that..."
"Her Leng family has some troubles, and we cannot be cruel and call Zhiyuan to come back just like this?"
"Dad, don't say it that way. We have to be more subtle. Let's ask Zhiyuan to come back for a few days first and wait for the relationship between the two youngsters to become good before we send Zhiyuan back... it is Mum's death anniversary in two days. It is such an important occasion. How can we miss having Zhiyuan around..."
Old Master Zhou looked over at Zhou Yao's mother, and he could not help but raise his thumbs up as he said, "You are the daughter-in-law I picked. We will do it this way!"
...
And after that, Leng Zhiyuan received a call from Madam Zhou. Her mother-in-law was extremely friendly on the line as she expressed what she meant subtly. Death anniversaries were a big occasion in China, and she was also legally married into the family now, so she definitely had to attend Grandmother's death anniversary in two days. Leng Zhiyuan wanted to reject her politely, but Madam Zhou had already hung up.
After a while, she got a call from her father Leng Mu tpp. He said that Old Master Zhou already gave him a call to explain the situation clearly. Her father sent a car specially to send her over to the airport.
Leng Zhiyuan was unable to reject it. Both the Leng and Zhou families were all informed, and furthermore, the Zhou family treated her so well. She had no other choice but to fly back to the mainland.
She reached the country in the afternoon. She stepped out of the airport, and there was a car from the Zhou family waiting to pick her up. After she went back to the Zhou home, Madam Zhou was extremely friendly as she welcomed her back."Zhiyuan, you are back already? Was it tough for you on the way back? I have already asked someone to prepare some plain porridge and some delicious side dishes. Come over and eat them quickly."
"Mum, there is no need for that. I already ate on the plane."
"That is also good. I have asked the helpers to send the luggage up. You should also go back to your room to rest soon."
"Thank you, Mum."
Leng Zhiyuan went upstairs. She opened the door, and there was someone inside the room. A wet figure came out of the bathroom at that moment.
It was Zhou Yao.
Leng Zhiyuan did not expect to meet him here. Why was he at home? Didn't he need to go to the army base?
Her gaze flew past his tough muscles. It was fine if he took a bath, but why didn't he wear a top? His short wet hair was limp on his head, and he lost that cold and fierce aura on him. At this moment, he looked extra handsome and young.
She was not willing to spare him another look.
Suddenly, the man spoke. His tone was not too good as he said, "Why are you here? Didn't you say that you would not come back to my home anymore, and you wanted to draw the line with me?"
"Mum... your mother gave me a call. She said that it was your grandmother's death anniversary in two days. I did not want to make everyone suspicious, so I came back, and after Grandmother's death anniversary passes, I will go back to Hong Kong."
After hearing her nonchalant, ice-cold tone, Zhou Yao firmly grabbed the bath towel in his hand. Where did all of her gentleness go? Why was she just like a porcupine when she faced him?
