My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

There was only one bed in the room, and now it was occupied by him. Where was she supposed to sleep?

As if aware of her worries, Zhou Yao, who was on the bed, put one hand behind his head and patted the bed with the other. “Sleep here,” he said lazily with his eyes closed.

“No way!”

“What do you want then? There are no extra beds or quilts in the room. Now, it is almost winter. Besides,” Zhou Yao opened his eyes and looked at her, “if I wanted to do you, I could do it even without sleeping together. If I don’t want to do it, I won’t touch you even if we sleep together. So, rest assured.”

Look at how relaxed he sounds. Of course, he won’t suffer any losses. I guess he would even rather they slept in the same bed. Leng Zhiyuan hated him so much, but he was right. At present, there was no other choice.

She hesitated, then took off her slippers, got in bed, rolled under the covers, and lay down.

She leaned away as far as she could and ignored him with her back to him.

Zhou Yao reached out and turned off the wall lamp with a click. “Good night, Mrs. Zhou.” He turned his back to her and closed his eyes.

…

It felt like a long night for Leng Zhiyuan. She didn’t dare to go to sleep because she was afraid that the man beside her would do something to her while she was asleep, so she was aware when Zhou Yao got up at 5:00 in the morning.

He got up so early.

He simply packed up and went out. Leng Zhiyuan was relieved and finally closed her eyes. She took a nap and got up a little after six o’clock.

An hour’s sleep was enough for her.

After a quick wash-up in the bathroom, she went to the wardrobe and opened the door to look for clothes. There were many women’s clothes in it, but most of them were very feminine dresses, which was not her style.

She was hesitant about what to wear.

At that moment, a knock on the door sounded. “Zhiyuan, are you awake?” Zhou Yao’s mother, Hua Ling, said from outside the door.

Leng Zhiyuan knew that it was Zhou Yao’s mother, technically her mother-in-law. She had no mother since she was a child and liked to wield knives and guns. The girly side of her was very much missing. She had no friends and no girlfriends as she did not know how to communicate with others. Now that Zhou Yao’s mother came so suddenly, she was stunned. She thought it would be sufficient to maintain basic courtesy.

“I’m up. Come in.”

When the door of the room was opened, Madam Zhou walked in with a happy face. She saw that Leng Zhiyuan was still wearing Zhou Yao’s white shirt, and she smiled. She walked over and said, “Zhiyuan, I heard movement in your room, so I assumed you must have gotten up. The clothes in the closet have been arranged by me, but I was thinking about it last night and realised that they may not suit your taste, so I asked the servants to prepare a few other sets this morning. Take a look to see if you like them.”

The servant brought in a rack of clothes, consisting of a maple coloured coat, short black leather jackets, grey knitwear… Although the colors were warmer than what she usually wore, they were still acceptable.

Besides, it was only six in the morning, and Madam Zhou had already arranged these clothes for her. She had really put her heart into it.

Leng Zhiyuan lifted the corner of her lips slightly. She was not used to smiling, so she only gave a small smile. “Thank you, Madam Zhou.”

“Zhiyuan, you have entered our Zhou family, and you are my daughter-in-law now. Why do you call me Madam Zhou? You should call me Mom.” Mother Zhou smiled affectionately.

Leng Zhiyuan was very uncomfortable. Suddenly, there was such a female elder who was so kind to her. She avoided her gaze and said, “Mom.”

“Yes!” Madam Zhou took her hand enthusiastically, then put a bracelet on her wrist. “Zhiyuan, this is the heirloom of the Zhou family. Your grandmother passed it on to me, and now I’ll pass it on to you.”

“Madam Zhou… I mean, Mom, I can’t have this!” Leng Zhiyuan immediately refused.

“Zhiyuan, you deserve it. This bracelet is now yours. Our Zhou family only had sons. Neither your grandmother nor I have daughters, so we are extremely close to our daughter-in-law. You are now my daughter. Don’t worry, neither your father nor your grandfather will let Zhou Yao bully you. If he dares to bully you, you can complain to us. We will back you up.”

Madam Zhou changed the subject. “But Zhiyuan, although Zhou Yao is a little mischievous, he is definitely more responsible than any other man in the world. It’s just that he is not good at expressing it. A couple not only needs to love each other, but they also need to have mutual accommodation so that they can last for a long time.”

Leng Zhiyuan did not agree with Madam Zhou’s words. In her mind, Zhou Yao was the most unreliable man she had ever met.

But she didn’t voice her thoughts. She looked at mother Zhou’s benevolent face, and she was still deeply moved. So she stood still and listened to Madam Zhou quietly.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and a gust of fresh cold air blew in. Zhou Yao’s tall frame appeared at the door.

He was wearing a black long sleeved T-shirt that was wet with sweat. He had probably come back from running, and his short hair was lying flat on his head.

He glanced at the two of them, and as he walked in, he said, “Mom, what are you doing in our room?”

“This son… How could you disallow your mother to enter the room once you have gotten a wife? Alright, I’m leaving. I won’t disturb you two.” Madam Zhou patted Leng Zhiyuan’s hand and walked out.

The two of them were left in the room.

Leng Zhiyuan turned around and looked at Zhou Yao. He stood with his side to her as he removed his wet T-shirt. A person like him who trained often would not even get breathless after running for half an hour, except that his heart was beating very fast in his chest. Standing at a distance, Leng Zhiyuan could feel his strong vitality.

His legs were so long, needless to say how straight they were. He was really like a stylish man who had walked out of a fashion magazine.

Leng Zhiyuan quickly averted her eyes. She took the bracelet off her wrist and handed it to Zhou Yao. “Your mother gave this to me, so I’ll give it back to you now.”

Zhou Yao did not look at her. “Keep it for a while. If my mother sees that you are not wearing it, she will be suspicious. Give it to me when the time is up.”

“Ok.” Leng Zhiyuan felt that he was right. She didn’t want any other issues to arise over these three months, so she put the bracelet back on. “Don’t worry, I won’t break it.”

“If it’s broken, you’ll leave the person behind.” With that, Zhou Yao threw the wet t-shirt on her head and walked into the bathroom.

Leng Zhiyuan’s senses were immediately attacked by a smell of sweat, and there was a masculine male scent that was very delicious. She quickly reached out her hand and removed the T-shirt on her head, then roared, “Zhou Yao!”

The bathroom door had already closed.

Leng Zhiyuan trembled in rage till her face turned red.

…

Just after breakfast in the morning, Zhou Yao received a phone call from the army. Although Old Man Zhou was a little unhappy, the country came first. Zhou Yao hopped into the jeep and swiftly left for the military base.

Leng Zhiyuan did not want to be idle either. She was uncomfortable with staying alone in this foreign house. Besides, she had to prepare for her departure in three months, so she dialed Leng Mu’s phone.
