My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

His legs felt sore?

Old Master Zhou was so furious that he almost could not catch his next breath. He was so angry that the moustache on his chin was trembling as he said, “You… This unfilial child!”

Slap! The heavy whip landed on Zhou Yao’s back.

Old Master Zhou hit him thrice with the whip as he said, “Our Zhou family has been in the military for generations. Your grandfather, your father, and I have been involved in the military, and don’t look at our high ranking positions that we have right now. They are extremely powerful, but we have walked along this path, and it was just like a path made out of thin ice. We were strict with ourselves on a normal basis, and the only thing that we were afraid of was for our enemies to strike us. You were good. You acted crazy in the army base, and last night, you even treated your own car as a tank and barged into the base. Your actions were so reckless, and it will definitely bring big trouble over to our Zhou family!”

Leng Zhiyuan never saw Old Master Zhou throw such a huge tantrum. Actually, she could understand why. The higher position a person had, the less friends he would have, but this Zhou Yao…

After the three whips came down, the clothes on Zhou Yao’s back were all wet. There was a large patch of blood soaking through the material, but Zhou Yao was kneeling down on the floor with his back all upright. He did not beg to be spared and also did say anything.

“Dad!” At this moment, Zhou Yao’s parents rushed forward to stop him. “Dad, don’t be angry. Don’t hit him anymore. If you continue to hit him, he will lose his life.”

“Dad, that’s right. The child is already so old now. Let’s talk to him properly. You are hitting him like that. You are hurting yourself and him as well.”

“All of you’d better get lost, today. I have to hit him until he admits his mistake and begs for forgiveness.” Old Master Zhou shook both of them off and was about to hit Zhou Yao with the whip again.

“Grandfather!” At this moment, Leng Zhiyuan knelt down beside Zhou Yao and said, “Grandfather, if you want to hit him, hit him together with me then. It is also my fault for what happened yesterday.”

“What does it have to do with you?” Zhou Yao slowly turned his gaze over to the side as he glanced at her coldly.

Leng Zhiyuan felt that this man was really so stubborn. He should be hit!

But Zhou Yao’s character was also inherited from Old Master Zhou. These two oxen were against one another, and they were fated to spar with one another. It was also a possibility that if Zhou Yao did not get hit to death, he could be hit till he became disabled.

She could not watch this go on with her eyes open.

“Grandfather, it was Valentine’s Day yesterday, and last night…we had a date, but in the midst of it, we fought with one another because of a small matter, and at that time, he drove away, and he made a mistake to drive into the base, but I should not have fought with him. He has a fiery temper. In the future, I will give in to him more, and he will not make this mistake anymore,” Leng Zhiyuan explained.

It was only then that Old Master Zhou hesitantly stopped. He looked over at Leng Zhiyuan and asked, “Did it really happen like that?”

Leng Zhiyuan looked at him honestly and said, “I am speaking truthfully, Grandfather. I am sorry.”

As she spoke, she stretched her hand out to tug Zhou Yao’s sleeve as she softly said, “Apologize to Grandfather, quickly.”

Master Zhou and Madam Zhou also stepped forward to persuade him. “Zhou Yao, you really made a mistake last night. You have to understand Grandfather’s teachings. Quickly admit your wrongdoings!”

“Hpmh!” Old Master Zhou brushed his hand off as he snorted coldly.

Zhou Yao pursed his thin lips and was unwilling to say anything. It was just as if everything that was happening did not concern him at all. Leng Zhiyuan was extremely anxious as she looked on. She searched for his muscular bicep and pinched him harshly.

Zhou Yao turned his gaze over to the side and glanced over at her again.

Leng Zhiyuan gave him an indication with her gaze, meaning — If you do not admit to your mistakes now, I will not care about you anymore. I will leave.

Zhou Yao became silent.

Leng Zhiyuan’s exquisite features were all cold, and she was about to turn around and leave.

“Grandfather, I am so sorry, I made a mistake.” Zhou Yao said these words with much difficulty.

Leng Zhiyuan heaved a sigh of relief, and at this moment, Old Master Zhou also felt very awkward as he accepted his apology. He was furious as he clenched his teeth and said, “In the next few days, you’d better stay at home properly to reflect on your actions. You have already started a family. I am also old now. I am unable to control you anymore, and in the future, you have to rely on your own decisions.”

“Dad, he gets it already.” Master Zhou stepped forward quickly to nuance the situation. He supported Old Master Zhou’s elbow as they walked out together.

The moment Old Master Zhou left, Madam Zhou stooped down quickly, and she stretched her hand out to tug Zhou Yao’s ear as she said, “This kid. Why are you making all of us worry about you?”

“Mum, it hurts! Let go!” Zhou Yao shouted out immediately.

Leng Zhiyuan heard him calling out in pain and was really taken aback. A man like him could go through surgery without using anesthesia at all, and he probably would not even bat an eye.

And he was actually afraid of someone tugging his ears.

Madam Zhou felt extremely bad for her son. She looked at Zhou Yao’s pale face as she let go of her hand. “Someone come over. Get the doctor.”

…

In the room, Zhou Yao perched himself on the large bed.

The doctor came over to have a look, and the man’s body was strong. He had a good foundation. Although the three whips made him bleed, he was doing fine. The doctor asked him to observe him for a night to see if the wound would become inflamed.

“Zhiyuan, I will send the doctor out. I also need to go over to comfort Grandpa. I will give you this medication. Help him apply medication. I would also need to trouble you to take care of him in the night,” Madam Zhou told her.

“You don’t have to worry, Mum.” Leng Zhiyuan nodded her head.

The door was shut, and the two of them were left inside the room. Leng Zhiyuan sat down on the side of the bed. She stretched her hand out slowly and took the ripped material covering his back away. Because too much time had passed, there were some parts of the clothing stuck on his wound.

Leng Zhiyuan could not help but raise her eyebrows as she softly asked, “Does it hurt?”

“It doesn’t hurt,” Zhou Yao replied.

She tried her best to be gentle, and when all of the material on his back was removed, the bloody wounds on his back were exposed. Old Master Zhou did not spare anything when he hit him, and his back was bloody and injured badly right now.

She used an alcohol ball to help him wipe his wound. He did not let out a single sound, but his shoulders were shaking slightly due to the pain, and this was the basic reaction when someone was in pain.

‘Why did you have to barge into the army base last night?” She searched for a topic to divert his attention, and she tried her best to reduce his pain.

“Hmph!” The man scoffed coldly and said, “Would you believe what I said?”

Leng Zhiyuan’s hand froze, and she hated that she could not stab the alcohol ball into his wound forcefully. What kind of attitude did he have? She’d already lowered her tone down to beg him.

“Forget it, if you are not going to say it!” she replied coldly.

He exploded immediately. He had a bad temper as he cursed out loud, “Little bastard!”

Leng Zhiyuan:…

The temperature inside the room was already icy cold. She did not care about him and only cared about handling his wound. He did not let out a single sound, and they didn’t care about one another.

After she was done treating the wound, she stood up and got off the bed. Suddenly, the man who was behind her unhappily said, “It is up to you whether you want to believe this. I will only explain myself once. Those roses were what I wanted to give to you.”

Leng Zhiyuan froze in her steps but she quickly lifted her heels and continued walking forward.

Zhou Yao’s tone was very anxious as he said, “Are your eyes blind? Could you tell that those roses in the picture were what I used flower petals to curl up to mold in the shape of sugar-coated hawthorns? Don’t you like to eat sugar-coated hawthorns?”

Sugar-coated hawthorns?

He actually knew that she liked to eat sugar-coated hawthorns.

Actually, when he’d explained it to her last night, she did not believe it. She did not trust this man at all, but right now, sugar-coated hawthorns… She thought about it carefully. No wonder she found the roses in Han Xuan’s picture last night to be funny looking.

He used rose petals to curl them up into a skewer of sugar-coated hawthorns…

He also knew something about romance, huh?
