My Dangerous Billionaire Husband - Chapter 788
Chapter 788: Do You Still Remember Me?
An extended version of a black car flew through the main streets of Hong Kong, and Zhou Yao had already floored the accelerator.
He was totally furious. In his entire life, he just hated one person, and that was Scorpion, and now there was a woman, Leng Zhiyuan. He hated that he could not go back to strangle her.
Go their own separate ways. Sure then. He did not care much about it. What she said was right. They were just in a contract marriage, and all they were just putting up a front.
She thought that he was going to bother her, right? If not for…her looking beautiful and her good skills, he was too lazy to give her another eye!
He had been single for too long but was suddenly feeling empty.
He looked through the rear view mirror to have a look at his face. There was a fresh slap mark on his right cheek. She had not held back at all when she slapped him.
He closed his eyes, and the sound of screeching brakes rang out in the air. He stopped the car by the roadside.
He panted for a moment, opened his eyes slowly, and turned the steering wheel as he made a U Turn.
He could not! He needed to go back to look for her!
He wanted to ask her the reason. Why did she suddenly ignore him, and why did she have to draw the line with him out of nowhere? He definitely…saw…some hints…of love in her eyes.
He thought that she was just like him. Both of them were tied on this ridiculous journey together, and they’d been single for a long time already. They’d met each other suddenly, and at that moment, he felt…that he had fallen for her.
He fell in love with her.
And just now, in her room upstairs, he saw her icy cold gaze, and she still made his heart flutter.
After all, he had not seen her for a few days.
Very quickly, the car stopped before the main gates of Leng Hao’s villa. Zhou Yao raised his gaze up to look over, and at this moment, the main gates opened up coincidentally. A figure that stepped out.
Zhou Yao looked at that figure. She wore a thick light-grey sweater, and she had a pair of slim black pants on. She wrapped a large white scarf around her neck as she walked out of the villa.
Zhou Yao looked at her back profile, and the thick sweater did not make her figure look swollen. Rather, it made her look even slimmer and gentler. Her dark hair was tied up in a high ponytail. Her clean and exquisite features were just like a normal girl’s.
Who would have thought that she was so stubborn in her bones!
It was already so late now; where was she going?
Zhou Yao drove the car as he trailed behind her.
Leng Zhiyuan was so bored. She’d been staying inside the room and felt uncomfortable because she was daydreaming, so she decided to come out to have a breath of fresh air and go window shopping for a while.
After walking a few blocks, her eyes lit up. She found something that she liked to eat, hawthorns coated in sugar.
When she was very young, she saw that other children had mothers, and their mothers would hug and coax them. She was the only one who did not. She went back and cried to her father. Her father felt extremely bad for her and bought her hawthorns coated in sugar.
At that time, her father had said, Zhiyuan, if you miss your mother in the future, just have a bite of the hawthorns coated in sugar, the taste of hawthorns coated in sugar is just like Mum. It is very very sweet.
Actually, her father was very dumb. He only saw the outer layer of sugar on the outside of the hawthorns. Somehow, he did not know that it was hawthorns on the inside, and hawthorns were very very sour.
Just like her feelings.
Zhou Yao parked the luxury car by the roadside and rolled the window down. He propped his left hand on the window frame, and his defined fingers were pinching a cigarette. He took a drag on his cigarette and was smoking lazily.
The busy streets were lit with neon lights as they shone down on his face. His features were mesmerizing and deep under the glow of the lights. He squinted his narrow eyes and looked at the woman in the rear view mirror.
What was she holding in her hands? Hawthorns coated in sugar?
He mocked her silently.
That was something that kids would eat. Why did she like to eat them?
He watched her carefully remove the thin layer on the outside. The red hawthorns were exposed. She did not bite them, but she stretched her small tongue out to have a lick.
Just as if she did not bear to eat them.
Hah! He found it so hard to teach her as she was so wild and difficult, but she became all obedient in front of a stick of hawthorns coated in sugar?
He lifted his head up slightly and took a deep breath of smoke. When he exhaled the smoke, his sexy Adam’s apple popped up, and he swallowed his saliva a few times. When he thought about how she stretched her tongue to lick the hawthorns, he hated that he could not kidnap her to press her down beneath his trousers.
He had not done those things before, but he’d been naughty since a young age. He was around 14 years old when he looked at those films in secret. In the eyes of a matured man, any provocative scenes were unable to bear at all.
After that urge in his body disappeared, he turned his gaze over to the side to look at her. She’d already eaten one sugar-coated hawthorn and was biting the second one. Her bite was very small, and the large hawthorn was missing a small piece.
Her exquisite cheeks were moving as she chewed, and her supple red lips were stained with a bright red glow. She was very satisfied as she ate. The cold aura on her face had disappeared entirely, and she looked just like a satisfied child.
Zhou Yao’s gaze fell on her face. A gentle glow appeared on his handsome features. Actually, other than being able to fight, she did not know anything else.
Wasn’t she just like a child who had not grown up yet?
She walked through a street, and she finished the entire stick of sugar-coated hawthornes. She threw the empty stick into the rubbish bin.
She turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly, an elderly person fell in front of her. “Miss, why did you have…to hit me? Aiya, my leg is in so much pain.”
Zhou Yao did not expect for her to meet a scammer here, and this scammer actually preyed on her. He planned to ignore her, but his actions were instinctive. He straightened his body up and went to open the car door. He stubbed the cigarette out beneath his feet and headed towards her direction.
Leng Zhiyuan also knew that she was being scammed. She snorted out coldly and raised her heels up to leave.
The elderly person suddenly grabbed her trousers and said, “Miss, don’t leave. You bumped into me. My leg might now be disabled! Aiya, it hurts so much. Someone, save me, there is someone who hit me…”
After a while, the other passers-by all looked over.
Upon facing such a situation, Leng Zhiyuan wanted to give that person a kick, and at this moment, a warm, reserved voice rang out in her ears. “Old Uncle, are you injured? I am a doctor. I can take a look for you.”
The person who came over bent his waist to touch the elderly man’s leg.
The elderly person knew that he’d just met an expert, and he waved his hands frantically as he said, “There is no need, there is no need. I am fine; I will get going.”
The elderly person escaped quickly.
That person that walked over stood up straight slowly, looked over at Leng Zhiyuan, and said, “Zhiyuan, do you still remember me? It has been such a long time since we last met.”
Leng Zhiyuan was in a blur as she looked at the man in front of her. He wore a white wool sweater and a pair of black slim cut pants. He was clean and reserved, just like how the books described a gentlemanly young man, and all of her memories went back into the past.
When she was in middle school, she had a new neighbour, and there was a big boy in her neighbour’s house. He was a good pianist, and every day when she went to school, she would pass the French window of his home. She always could see him sitting before the piano as he played his pieces elegantly.
After she went to school, she found out that he was her senior, and he was the sweetheart of all the girls in school. He excelled in all of his subjects. He was warm like sunshine, and he was handsome and elegant.
And at that time, she just started to learn about love, and if someone were to ask her what her style was, he was just her style.
But after that, he transferred schools. She heard that he went over to Beijing and was the son of a high ranking official.
Although he had left, her memories didn’t stop there. In her teenage diary, he was Ye Ziyi from the neighbouring house.
