My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

Mommy…

Mommy…

The word “mommy” was like a needle that stabbed Zhou Yao’s brain repeatedly. He straightened his back and said with his deep and horse voice, “Stop crying. The Zhou’s do not cry like that?”

Zhou Sileng couldn’t take it anymore. He replied, “I resemble mommy! My mommy definitely cried a lot. You definitely made my mommy cry a lot. You deserve it. My mommy left you!”

The veins on Zhou Yao’s forehead bulged. He took a deep breath and warned with bloodshot eyes, “Zhou Sileng, shut up! If you say one more word to me, I will leave you by the side of the road!”

Zhou Sileng snorted and then kept quiet. From the looks of it, his daddy was not joking. He might really leave him by the side of the road. Zhou Sileng was a wise man who knew when to adapt to circumstances.

…

In the villa.

The maid opened the door and Zhou Sileng walked in. At this time, Mother Zhou rushed over to them. “Little Sileng, did you miss grandma? Let grandma kiss you.”

“Grandma, I thought you won’t be back till tomorrow?”

“I couldn’t rest assured about my little Sileng, so I came back early. How about it? Is my little Sileng pleasantly surprised?” As she spoke, Mother Zhou was stunned. She saw the red mark on Zhou Sileng’s face and immediately asked, “Sileng, what happened to your face? Did you fight with the other kids? This is unacceptable, who hit my precious grandson…”

“Grandma,” Zhou sileng stuffed the bag in his arms to Mother Zhou. “I was the one who started the fight. A group of them came at me but couldn’t even beat me.”

Zhou Sileng shrugged and chuckled lightly.

Then, Mother Zhou realize that his eyes and nose were red. This grandson of hers was usually very lively, polite, and well-behaved. So it was all the more heartbreaking to see him like this: a motherless child keeping everything to himself, burying his sorrows and sufferings in his heart.

Mother Zhou said with love and concern, “Sileng, what happened? Did you… cry, Grandma…”

“No, I’m heading upstairs.” Zhou Sileng took off and went upstairs.

Mother Zhou looked at the little guy’s back and felt both anxiety and heartache, “This…”

At this time, the servant’s voice sounded from behind, “Young Master.”

Mother Zhou turned around and saw that Zhou Yao had returned.

“Zhou Yao, you came back? Did you pick up little Sileng from school? Little Sileng seems low-spirited. It looks like he had cried for a very long time. What happened?”

Zhou Yao raised his head and glanced upstairs. He threw the car keys in his hand on the coffee table and then went upstairs with a straight face. “It’s okay, mom. Don’t think too much about it.”

Both the father and son had gone upstairs. Mother Zhou remained where she was, feeling anxious. She said to the maid, “Go and bring the driver, Uncle Wu, over. I need to know what happened.”

…

In the master bedroom, a handsome and tall figure stood on the balcony. The lights in the room were off, so it was very dark. His figure was shrouded in the faint moonlight, like a pine tree. However, no matter how gentle the moonlight was, it could not melt the cold aura around his body.

He unbuttoned two buttons on his shirt. Suddenly, he frowned. He did not even have the strength to unbutton his whole shirt. His tall body leaned lazily against the balcony. His right hand reached into his trouser pocket to take out a cigarette, but the trouser pocket was empty. He remembered that he had rushed out of a meeting, and smoking was prohibited in the unit.

Turning his head, he watched the scenery in the distance with sleepy eyes. Zhou Sileng’s small face appeared in his mind, and he closed his eyes due to a headache and fatigue.

In the past four years, he had risen step by step. A thirty-two-year-old man was already past the age where he could use force at any time. In these years, he had calmed down all his wildness and sharpness. He thought that his self-control was good enough.

However, it still wasn’t good enough. He still could not control his temper when it came to the little guy.

He became a father at the age of 28. Actually, he really did not have much of a practical concept of the word “father.” In the past, he did not like children. Later on… Later on, because of her, he wanted to have a family with her. He wanted to have children.

However, Zhou Sileng’s arrival saddened Zhou Yao. Zhou Sileng came, but she left. She left him alone…

When Zhou Sileng was young, his health been in critical condition several times. Zhou Yao stayed by his side with fear and trepidation. During that time, Zhou Yao did not dare to close his eyes to sleep. He was afraid that once he closed his eyes, this child would be as far away from him as his… mommy. Negative thoughts occupied his mind sometimes: if anything happened to Zhou Sileng, then he might as well die too.

Zhou Sileng was the only reason Zhou Yao was alive. If the reason disappeared, then what was the point of him staying alive?

Zhou Sileng persevered through it all. In the blink of an eye, he was already four years old. And Zhou Yao was no longer the foolish father who made a mess just to change a diaper. As Zhou Sileng grew older, communication between the two became a major problem.

He could give this child the most exquisite and stress-free life, but Zhou Yao was a man. He could not hug Zhou Sileng and kiss and coax him like a woman. He could not just say to Zhou Sileng “daddy loves you.” The pain in his heart engulfed him at nights like this. He could not even save himself from sadness, how could he save Zhou Sileng?

Zhou Yao closed his eyes and swallowed hard. That stunning little face appeared in his mind. He smiled indulgently and thought, “You left, but you left behind two men. How heartless!”

At this moment, there were two knocks on the door.

Zhou Yao did not move, “Come in.”

The door was pushed open. Mother Zhou stood by the door and looked into the dark room. Mother Zhou frowned. The man stood in front of her. His tall figure cast a long shadow under the moonlight, looking lonely and desolate.

Mother Zhou sighed and asked softly, “The new report was true. You got a new girlfriend again. A female star this time?”

Zhou Yao did not speak.

“Zhou Yao, in the past two years, you changed girlfriends faster than others changed their clothes. How many women do you think you’ve dated? If you’re serious, I won’t interfere. You can’t be alone forever, but I think you’re just fooling around. You played around, but are you happy?”

“Mom, you don’t have to worry about me.”

“Do you think I want to interfere? I’ll turn a blind eye to what you do outside, but don’t mess with little Sileng. He’s still young, and his heart is very fragile and sensitive. Don’t hit him. He is stubborn like you. The more you hit him, the more he fights back. You have to be gentler to him. If Zhiyuan was still here, she would be heartbroken to see you hit little Sileng like that.”

Zhou Yao had a straight face until he heard Mother Zhou say “Zhiyuan.” His tall body shivered.

His thin and cold lips slowly curled up. He grinned in the darkness and muttered to himself, “If she was really heartbroken, she would come to find me. But she never appears in my dream. I don’t think she’s heartbroken at all.”

Mother Zhou didn’t hear him clearly, but she didn’t know how to comfort Zhou Yao when it came to Zhiyuan. Zhiyuan was the Zhou family’s pain.

She sighed heavily and closed the door.
