My Dangerous Billionaire Husband - Chapter 796

Chapter 796: Mrs. Zhou, You Are Getting Jealous

“Major General!” Xiao Zhi and Ah Chen took a step forward.

Zhou Yao quickly sucked the poison out, and Han Xuan’s lips turned red again. Her pale face was back to normal. She sat up and said, “Older Brother Zhou, are you still okay? You are too foolish. I did not need you to do that for me. The war that we are having against Scorpion has yet to end. I am not impactful enough. You’re the one, Older Brother Zhou…”

Zhou Yao waved his hands, and his expression was all calm as he said, “Your body is weak and is unable to take it. I can bear with it for a few days. Act hastily and look for the cure now. Don’t prolong this matter any further.”

“Okay.” Han Xuan had no other choice but to nod her head.

Xiao Zhi suddenly let out an “Ah!” and said, “Major General, Older Sister-in-law is missing now.”

Zhou Yao turned his head back again, and there was nothing there. He did not see Leng Zhiyuan around anymore.

His large palms that he drooped by his sides were clenched into fists. That damned woman deserved to die!

…

The next morning, everyone gathered together to eat breakfast.

Leng Zhiyuan walked into the living room. Director Wang immediately addressed them and said, “Miss Leng, quickly come over to eat breakfast, and you can sit down…beside Major General Zhou.”

She had a look at her surroundings, and it was really true that there were no other empty seats left. She did not try to act coy, and she sat down right by Zhou Yao’s side.

Zhou Yao’s nostrils were immediately filled up with the fragrance of her hair. His right hand that was holding his chopsticks froze, and he did not raise his head up as he softly said, “Did you have a good rest yesterday?”

Leng Zhiyuan had a mouthful of porridge and said, “I did. I escaped death. I am extremely thankful for that.”

Zhou Yao snorted and said, “If I really wanted to kill you, do you think that you were able to escape?”

Leng Zhiyuan huffed. She had to have a try to know. She lifted her chopsticks up and went to get the steamed bun placed in front of her.

But her chopsticks got into a fight. Zhou Yao had also stretched his chopsticks over.

“You can have it.” He took his chopsticks back.

“There is no need. Major General Zhou should eat more. You should eat however much you are able to eat right now.”

Zhou Yao’s gaze turned sharp. Why was this woman’s mouth so stubborn? Was she cursing that the poison would come into effect as soon as possible for him?

He stretched his left hand out and held her right hand firmly in his palm. He lowered his volume and said, “You know her identity. I cannot allow her…”

“That’s enough!” Leng Zhiyuan took her hand back as she said, “These are Major General’s personal matters, and you don’t have any need to report to me!”

She stood up immediately and headed outside. “Ah Chen, help me to scoop a bowl of porridge. It is hot inside. I want to go outside to have a little bit of the cool breeze.”

“Yes, Young Miss,” Ah Chen answered.

Zhou Yao stared at the woman closely as she left. He harshly slammed his chopsticks on the table and stood up to leave.

“Major General, you have not eaten your breakfast…”

“I am not eating anymore!” He was already full of anger.

Zhou Yao walked outside. He was frustrated as he used his leather boots to kick the pebbles by his feet. He fumbled through his left pocket and did not find any cigarettes, and he let out a soft curse.

His mind was all full of Leng Zhiyuan’s small face, and she was so cold as she looked at him, as she looked at him and Han Xuan…

Han Xuan was Han Hong’s younger sister.

It was only like that.

“Major General!” Ah Dong ran over to him in a hurry as he said, “Miss Xuan Xuan has given us a secret message. Scorpion’s people are already in the mountain cave base in the South, and we can get them all in one shot.”

And following that, Leng Zhiyuan guzzled a bowl of porridge, Director Wang ran out in a hurry as he said, “Miss Leng, there is a situation. Let’s gather quickly.”

…

The groups of people immediately gathered in the mountain cave in the south. Zhou Yao took a torch in his hand and went inside first. The mountain cave was wet and damp, and it was obvious that someone had tried to renovate the place.

“Someone was here before,” Ah Chen whispered to Leng Zhiyuan.

“Scorpion’s people must have staked this place out beforehand. The news would not be wrong. Everyone, please be careful.” Ah Dong was confident as he spoke.

Leng Zhiyuan took a torch as she shone down on the rocks inside the cave. There was an oily gleam on the rocks, and she felt suspicious, so she stretched her fingers out to touch it, then she brought her fingers near her nostrils to have a whiff.

This smell…

The things that she sensed were also noticed by Zhou Yao’s side, and she said, “It is gunpowder. Let’s get out quickly!”

Everyone’s expression changed drastically, and they quickly turned around to run over to the entrance, but at this moment: Sii! A spark was shot out. Bang! The mountain cave was bombed and ruined entirely.

Leng Zhiyuan felt herself being enveloped into a broad embrace, and the moment the bomb exploded, someone leaped over and hugged her. When she landed on the ground, she did not get hurt because there was a layer of tough muscles below her.

She sat up straight and looked at the man beneath her as she said, “Oy, Zhou Yao, are you okay?”

The corners of Zhou Yao’s lips were stained with some blood, and there was a sharp ringing sound in his ears. He shook his head for a moment before he slowly opened his eyes, then shook his head again. “I am fine… How are you?”

Leng Zhiyuan’s face was all scrunched up. She was grim as she said, “I don’t need you to rescue me. I am different from a certain someone. Other people would need a man to protect them when they are in danger!”

Zhou Yao froze for a moment, but he quickly curled the corners of his lips up and said, “Mrs. Zhou, are you jealous right now?”

“Who is jealous? You are looking to be hit!” She was fierce as she held her fist up.

Cough, cough… Zhou Yao immediately cupped his chest and coughed continuously.

“Hey, what is wrong with you?” Leng Zhiyuan’s heart leaped. She bent down to check his chest and said, “Are you injured? Let me have a look… Oof!”

Zhou Yao opened his mouth and forcefully sucked on her small lips.

Leng Zhiyuan widened her eyes. This scoundrel!

She wanted to hit him, but he took a step first and let go of her. He was in a good mood and had a bright smile on his face.

“Zhou Yao, you!”

Zhou Yao used one arm to pin her waist down and helped her stand back up as he said, “Okay, I am not going to fool around anymore…” He had a solemn expression on his face as he had a glance at the demolished cave. Thankfully, they’d detected it in time, and they did not get hurt. “This is Scorpion’s plan to fool us all.”

Who was fooling around?

The person fooling around was him, and he was also the same person who’d said not to fool around anymore. After kissing her, he was still brazen and confident.

“Fooling around?” Leng Zhiyuan’s gaze lit up as she said, “Oh no, that field of flowers!” She parted her legs and was about to dash off.

“Ay, Mrs. Zhou!” Her slim wrist was pinned down, and he said, “Those flowers are fine. You don’t have to worry.”

Leng Zhiyuan turned her gaze back to look over at Zhou Yao. That was right. Whatever Scorpion was able to think of, this man would naturally be able to make sufficient plans to stop him.

“Then it is not considered to be too bad,” she said softly.

“It is not terribly bad, but it is still very bad.” Zhou Yao looked at her and had a frustrated smile on his face.

…

At the base, Zhou Yao and Leng Zhiyuan were seated on opposite sides. Director Wang hit the table as he extremely seriously said, “The mission has failed. Although we didn’t have any casualties, it was still extremely dangerous for us. We have to look into the reason for our failure. Major General Zhou, are there any problems with your leads?”

Zhou Yao shook his head and said, “Definitely not.”

“Then where did the problem come from?”

Suddenly, Ah Dong, who was standing at one side, said, “Our reports come from an extremely reliable spy, and this spy would not have any problems unless…the spy was exposed, and Scorpion has taken it as a chance to strike us.”

“Exposed? How could that be?” Director Wang asked.

Leng Zhiyuan wrapped both arms around her chest. Upon hearing the question, she raised her head up to look towards Ah Dong, and just as expected, Ah Dong looked at her with an unfriendly gaze as he said, “Last night, there was someone who unintentionally found out the identity of the spy, and I am now suspecting that it was that person who leaked the news.”

Director Wang looked over at where Ah Dong was looking, and he saw that it was Leng Zhiyuan. Director Wang froze.

Ah Chen stood behind Leng Zhiyuan the entire time, and upon hearing that, he was furious. He took a step forward and rushed towards Ah Dong as he asked him, “Who are you trying to hint at? What is this attitude of yours? You are only a subordinate, and you actually dare to speak to our Young Miss like that. Do you not know that our Young Miss is your Major General’s wife?”
