My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

In the hospital ward, Zhou Yao was standing in front of the bed. He lowered his gaze to look at the woman lying on the bed.

The woman’s long eyelashes were closed. She closed her eyes as she slept. Her long, dark hair was laid out on the snowy white pillow and made her smooth face look so pure. There was no trace of blood in her face. Her face was very pale, and she looked sickly.

Zhou Yao’s mind went back to all of the looks that she had since they met one another. She was coy and bold. When he made her feel anxious, her beautiful grey eyes would be spinning angrily, and of course, she would also gaze at him gently with her moist eyes.

All of her looks, her joy, anger, sadness, and happiness — he was all smitten with them.

It was his first time looking at her lying on the bed like this. She was Young Miss Leng who did not fear anything, and he did not imagine a day that she would also be hurt like this.

He knew that this time, he hurt her heart deeply.

Zhou Yao stretched his hand out slowly and wanted to touch her face, but his hand was frozen in mid air. His hand was injured by the glass shards and was bleeding. It was stained with blood, and he himself looked down on it. He would not dirty her…

He bent over and went closer to her face. Her breathing was very very light, and when he got closer to her, a fragrance wafted into his nostrils.

He was all smitten as he closed his long, thick eyelashes, then he gave her a kiss on her cheek.

“Wifey, sorry,” he murmured out softly and hoarsely. HHis narrow eyes had a drip of hot sparkling tears, and they dripped down on her eyes.

Leng Zhiyuan, who had her eyes closed, fluttered her eyelashes gently before two streams of tears flowed down the corners of her eyes.

This night did not have any rest in it, and it was full of sadness.

…

At six in the morning, three people hurried along the corridor. Old Master Zhou held the walking stick, and his steps were very steady. Master Zhou was afraid that he would fall and quickly supported him from his elbows as he trailed behind him closely. Madam Zhou was still dressed in her pajamas and had a cotton coat on the outside.

Zhou Yao came out of the hospital ward, and the four of them met in the corridor.

Old Master Zhou was so furious that his beard was slanted. He had a look at the tightly shut door of the hospital ward before having another look at the quiet corridor. He lowered his volume and said, “Come over!”

Zhou Yao walked over and greeted him. “Grandpa.”

“Hmph,” Old Master Zhou snorted out coldly, and he said. “I just got the news. Zhiyuan… Did she…have a miscarriage?”

Upon mentioning a miscarriage, Old Master Zhou hit the walking stick on the ground twice loudly, and the pain in his heart was beyond words.

Zhou Yao did not have much of an expression. He was silent like a dead body of water. He nodded his head as he said, “Yeah.”

“You!” Old Master Zhou raised the walking stick up as he was about to hit Zhou Yao with it, but he suddenly felt faint with his head, and he stumbled two steps backwards.

“Grandpa!”

“Dad!” Master Zhou and Madam Zhou hurriedly supported Old Master Zhou.

Old Master Zhou took a breath of air and tried to adjust his breathing. He raised his head up to glare at Zhou Yao. He hated that he was doing well as he said, “You are already 28 now. Grandpa will not hit you anymore in the future. I’ve had to hit you for so many years, but you have not improved at all. Men need to start a family. You were unable to protect your own wife and child, so how are you going to protect the country? Are you worthy of the title of Major General?”

Zhou Yao pursed his thin lips and did not say anything. This was probably the most stern way that Grandpa had ever chided him.

Master Zhou had a look at Zhou Yao. Even though he had a thousand words that he wanted to say, his son was already an adult now, and he heaved out a sigh.

At this moment, the sounds of steady foosteps that rang out. Leng Hao was here. He wore a long black coat, and he was stained with dew on his body. It was obvious that he was just done with handling the other matters and was in a hurry to come back to see his younger sister.

Leng Hao walked over to face all of them.

Old Master Zhou had a look at Leng Hao and said, “We are very sorry for what happened to Zhiyuan. I will represent this unfilal kid and the Zhou family to apologize to you. It was us who did not protect Zhiyuan properly.”

Leng Hao did not say anything. He simply nodded his head towards Old Master Zhou politely.

“I have heard about what happened to Mr. Leng.” Old Master Zhou placed both hands behind his back. His expressions were all serious as he said, “I believe that Old Master Leng would never participate in this case. There must be something wrong that happened in this, and now, both our Zhou and Leng families must accept the investigation. You don’t have to worry. We will forveer be on the same side, and I will support Old Master Leng till the end.”

At this moment, Leng Hao waved his hands and said, “The situation is complicated right now. I am grateful for Old Master Zhou’s kindness, but at this time, if we are tied up together, there would be much more trouble. I will try to think of a plan to settle the Leng family’s and my father’s matters. The Zhou family is powerful and influential. All of you are accepting the investigations right now, and we cannot exempt cunning people from taking the chance to attack you guys. It is good for us to separate.”

Leng Hao’s words were very clear. Old Master Zhou thought for a moment before he nodded his head and said, “But no matter what, we are in-laws. This point will never change.”

“Okay, thank you Old Master Zhou. I will go and have a look at my younger sister.”

“Please do.”

Leng Hao went into the hospital ward.

Old Master Zhou and Master Zhou stood outside the door to have a look. Leng Zhiyuan was still sleeping. The Zhou family had many matters to handle, so the two people addressed Zhou Yao and went back first.

Madam Zhou stayed behind. She looked at Zhou Yao, and even though there were too many grievances that she wanted to express, the child was gone, and the people that felt the worse were the parents. She felt sad inside her heart and said, “I will stay behind here. I made some porridge. The helpers will send it over later. Go and wash up. You look so disheveled. Zhiyuan will not like it when she sees it.”

Zhou Yao was still wearing his camouflage military uniform from his mission, it was already extremely crumpled. He hadn’t cleaned up and was a little unkempt.

He lowered his gaze to have a look at himself, then said, “Okay.”

He turned around and left.

…

After cleaning up simply, Zhou Yao went back to the ward. His mother’s voice rang out in his ears, “Zhiyuan, the temperature of this millet porridge is just perfect. Come, I will feed you some.

“After a woman has a miscarriage, she has to go through confinemnet. This month of confinement is extremely important. You cannot get cold. You cannot touch the floor immediately, and it would be best if you do not read books or look at electronic products. You should eat plain tasting stuff, take less salt, and have more nourishing soup…” Madam Zhou was loving as she nagged.

Zhou Yao slowed down in his tracks. Was she…awake already?

He took two steps forward and saw her. Leng Zhiyuan was already awake. She lay back on the headboard of the bed. There was a soft pillow placed behind her back, and Madam Zhou was feeding her porridge.

The window in the room was open, and the morning sun shone down on her body and gave her a warm glow. She lowered her long eyelashes, looking all obedient and quiet as she ate the porridge that Madam Zhou fed her.

Zhou Yao felt that his entire heart became soft. This kind of feeling was very special, and it felt just as if he was stepping into a pond of cotton candy.

He suddenly felt that he was so funny. In the past, when he looked on as Eldest Brother Young Master Lu and Ning Qing being all lovey dovey, every gaze when they looked at one another would be filled with love, and if not, it would be just like Third Younger Brother Luo and Xia Xiaofu. They had so many troubles but still had to love one another. At that time, he was so unconvinced. Love made people feel troubled, and he was so carefree being by himself.

He never imagined that there would be a day when he would also be like that to a woman, and it was just as if when he glanced at her for a moment, he would not be the Zhou Yao that he was back in the past.

“Zhou Yao, you are here?” At this moment, Madam Zhou realized that he was there.
