My Dangerous Billionaire Husband - Chapter 914

Chapter 914: Reminiscing

Zhou Yao was done speaking, and Han Xuan froze entirely.

“Older Brother Zhou, what do you mean? What do you mean by this will be my room in the future? How about you? You…”

“I will sleep next door,” Zhou Yao replied simply.

Sleep next door?!

Han Xuan took in a breath of cold air. Wasn’t he refusing to touch her and did not want to consummate the marriage with her? But, she was already his wife!

This would not do. She did not want to be in a fake marriage.

“Older Brother Zhou, you cannot treat me like that. It is our newly wedded night tonight. If you go out now to sleep, what would your family members think? What would those helpers think after they find out about this? You have put me in a very difficult spot. How do you want me to face them all in the future?”

Zhou Yao had a glance at Han Xuan, who was extremely emotional. He did not say anything at all, but he parted his long legs immediately and left.

“Older Brother Zhou!” Han Xuan screamed out loud, as she went over to tug Zhou Yao’s sleeve.

But she did not manage to do so. Zhou Yao had already left with large strides. The door of the room shut in her face with a loud bang!

Han Xuan’s face was pale. She was frozen in the wheelchair. Her eyes were very wet, and her eyes were instantly flooded with tears, but she controlled them fiercely. She did not allow the tears to flow.

She was already living very pathetically, but she was unwilling to admit to it.

She did not want to be more pathetic!

Today was a day of great joy for her. Even though there was not a single person on earth that was willing to celebrate for her and feel happy for her, at the very least, she did not want to cry. She wanted to smile; she worked hard to smile!

Knock, knock! The sound of someone knocking on the door rang out as someone said, “Young Mistress, can I come inside?”

The professional nurse’s voice rang out in the air.

Han Xuan quickly raised her gaze and controlled the tears back in her eyes as she said, “Come in.”

The professional caretaker helped her wash her face and take a bath. She did not protest at all and allowed the caretaker to serve her. She looked up at the ceiling and swore to herself inside her heart. She had already entered the Zhou family. There would be a day when she would truly get Zhou Yao!

…

Zhou Yao entered the room next door. He looked at the familiar decorations in the room. It was still like how it looked in the past, but it was lacking a certain person.

Zhou Yao threw the shirt in his hands over to the sofa casually. He stepped forward with his long legs. He was tall and standing up straight, then lay down on the large, soft bed. He was exhausted. He exhaled and closed his eyes.

He was very tired…

He did not do anything at all, but his body seemed to feel empty of energy.

He slowly turned his body over to the side and stretched his hand out to scoop the pillow by his side into his embrace, and he buried his nostrils into the pillow deeply. The fragrance of her hair was still let on the pillow.

This was her pillow, and it was never changed.

His mind went back to when he saw her outside the Civil Affairs Bureau. She was so quiet as she stood there to look at him. He saw many things in her gaze, and it was the same in his eyes.

Loss, pain, sadness, and memories…

Leng Zhiyuan…

He said her name inside his heart silently, then he firmly hugged her pillow in his embrace. He did not want to shower, he was too lazy to move, and he shut his eyes just like that.

…

The next morning

With the help of the professional caretaker, Han Xuan was done washing up, and she headed out the door.

She went over to the door of the neighbouring room before she stretched her hand out to knock on the door. “Older Brother Zhou, Older Brother Zhou…”

“Young Mistress.” A helper passed by and said, “Young Master woke up early in the morning. He is already back on base now.”

Back on base?

It was only six in the morning. Why did he leave so early?

In front of the helpers, she was unwilling to look embarrassed, so she said, “I know that he had to go back to the base today, but I did not expect him to leave so early. Okay fine, you can run off.”

“Yes.” The helper walked away.

Han Xuan pushed the wheelchair and headed forward. When she reached the bend, she heard two helpers whispering to one another…

“Did you know that last night our Young Master did not go into the new Young Mistress’s room? It was their newly wedded night, and Young Master did not touch this new Young Mistress.”

“Of course I know. Who does not know about this matter? Everyone is talking about it privately. Let me tell you, Young Master slept in the next room last night, and that room was Young Master and the previous Young Mistress’s marital room!”

“That’s right. That marital room is the master bedroom. The geomancy is the best there. At that time, when Young Master and the previous Young Mistress got married, Old Master Zhou asked a geomancy master to have a look specially, and right now, the new Young Mistress is just staying in a guest room.”

“With this, we can tell that our Old Master, Master, and Madam, together with Young Master, they all miss our previous Young Mistress.”

“That’s right. We also like the previous Young Mistress. When our previous Young Mistress was here, the entire Zhou family was extremely lively, not like now. There is no sign of life in this home at all.”

“Ay, let me tell you secretly. I heard that this new Young Mistress of ours employed a trick to force our Young Master to marry her…”

Han Xuan heard everything they said extremely clearly. She was furious, and she trembled from head to toe. Just now, the door that she’d knocked on, the room that Zhou Yao had slept in last night, was actually his and Leng Zhiyuan’s marital room?

It was obviously their wedding night, but he was missing Leng Zhiyuan?

Also, she was staying in the guest room?

This family did not care about her at all, and she was bullied too badly!

“What are you guys talking about here?” Han Xuan pushed the wheelchair as she appeared before both helpers.

Both helpers were extremely shocked as they turned their heads back to look over. Han Xuan was glaring at them extremely evilly. They cast their heads down in fear as they stuttered, “Young, Young Mistress…”

Han Xuan rolled forward. She was extremely nasty as she sarcastically said, “Two servants, it is early in the morning right now, and you are not working but are gossiping about your masters? We pay you all, and what are all of you doing? Paying you all is worse than raising a dog!”

Both helpers had served the Zhou family for many years now, and the people in the Zhou family treated them very well. They never saw them as lowly servants, and now that Han Xuan was saying all of this, tears flowed from their eyes immediately.

“Why, you feel attacked when I say something? If I do not teach you all a proper lesson today, you’d all really be treating yourselves as people!” As she spoke, Han Xuan cruelly stretched her hand out to pinch the two helpers harshly.

Both helpers sobbed even more heavily.

A stern voice suddenly rang out from behind her. “Stop right there! Han Xuan, what are you doing?” Madam Zhou walked over quickly.

Han Xuan saw Madam Zhou coming over, and she was extremely surprised. She had an awkward smile on her face as she said, “Mum, why are you here?”

Madam Zhou did not look at her. She walked over to face both helpers as she stretched her hand out to lift up their sleeves. The helper’s arms had been pinched red by Han Xuan.

“Madam, we are fine. We were in the wrong..” The helpers quickly took their arms back.

Madam Zhou looked at the both of them and said, “Who is telling the truth, and who is lying? I am clear about that inside my heart. Go and apply some medication. I will give you double pay this month.”

“Thank you Madam.” Both helpers were extremely grateful as they retreated.

The moment the helpers left, Han Xuan quickly said, “Mum, you cannot let them feel more arrogant. They were not working. They were gossiping about their masters. I was only teaching them a lesson…”

“Master? Which master were they gossiping about?” Madam Zhou, who was normally benevolent, was staring at Han Xuan fiercely.

“I…”
