<h4>Chapter 867: Are You Thinking Of Breaking Up With Me?</h4>
The beautiful girl was totally shocked. She nced over at Leng Zhiyuan. Her gaze could not be considered to be sharp, but it was cold. Her aura was enough to scare others.
The girl shrunk her shoulders back in fear before she was sensible enough to take a few steps back.
Zhou Yao was pped harshly. He stretched his hand out to touch his left cheek that was pped. He turned his head over slowly and lifted his gaze up to look at Leng Zhiyuan. He curled the corners of his lips up as he nonchntly said, “Mrs. Zhou, why are you so angry? I only came over to drink with my friends. Why are you so angry?”
Leng Zhiyuan looked at his handsome, masculine features. He was still himself, but there was a mask on his face. It was very fake. She said, “Where did you go? I waited for you outside the Civil Affairs Bureau for the entire day.”
The smile on the corners of Zhou Yao’s lips froze for a second, but it regained normalcy very quickly. He was unbothered as he raised his eyebrows up, as he said, “I...”
“The Zhou Yao that I know was never a man who liked to beat around the bush and escape. You totally did not have any need to bring a woman here to act in front of me because your acting is horrible. If you want to break up with me, you can just say it directly. I think that I, Leng Zhiyuan, am not the type to cling and bother you.”
The words that Zhou Yao wanted to say were stuck in his throat. It felt just as if there was a fish bone stuck in his throat, and no matter what sound came out of his throat...it hurt.
He had long known that she was not a usual girl, and she was not easy to fool.
“Zhou Yao, I will just ask you something. Just give me a frank answer; do you want to break up with me?”
Zhou Yao looked at her beautiful grey eyes. She was extremely serious as she looked at him and was waiting for him to answer. He saw seriousness and purity in her eyes. It was as if he nodded his head she would agree to it immediately.
Agree to break up with him.
Her character was very strong. The moment they broke up, she would never spare him another nce.
Therge palms that Zhou Yao drooped by his sides were slowly clenched into fists. His gaze was smitten as he looked at this small face in front of him. How was he going to say it out loud? How could he bear to do so? How did...he dare to do so?
He was afraid the moment he said the words break up, there would be no return for the both of them.
The figure before his eyes moved for a moment before his sculpted waist was firmly embraced by two slim arms. Leng Zhiyuan ced her face near his heart and closed her long eyshes. Her voice was gentle as she murmured, “I just knew that you would not break up with me.”
This sentence was just like a rock that was thrown into the peacefulke that was his heart. Ripples appeared in Zhou Yao’s eyes.
“What happened? Zhou Yao, you can just tell me honestly. We managed to make it till today, and it was not all smooth sailing. With Dad’s matters, I think I do not have to say it for you to know that there must have been someone behind all this who is controlling the situation. Both of us or maybe someone else are all targeted, and now that the enemy is hiding, we are exposed. The situation is very dangerous. I have told myself one time after another to be logical and calm, and no matter what happens, I have to trust you. I have to be together with you. I do not want the enemy to take the chance to strike. I do not want...to separate from you.
“Zhou Yao, believe me, I will be able to shoulder it. No matter what troubles are ahead of us, I can fight alongside you. I am asking you not to give up fighting and retreat instead. Please don’t fool me. Don’t push me far away. I am very sad that you are being like this.
“Do you still remember the words that you said in front of my dad? You said that it was fine. I did not have to be scared. In the future, I still had an Older Brother, and also...you...
“Don’t be a fool anymore. Zhou Yao, that night, didn’t you want to hear me say it? I will say it now for you to hear. I...”
I love you.
I love you very very much.
The only love that I will have in my entire life.
But she did not manage to say I love you because Zhou Yao stretched his hand out to push her away. She was in a daze as she stumbled back, and his slightly hoarse voice rang out in her ears. “Zhiyuan, I am sorry. You want to fight by my side, but...maybe...I do not want to be like this... I also do not want to act. If you cannot hug me like you are doing now in the future and say some sweet words to me, both of us can...totally be very cool... Also, since you have already found out what kind of person I am now, every act and decision that I am doing now has been the result of deep thoughts. We will just be like this...and forget it...”
Forget it?
Leng Zhiyuan felt like a sharp knife sliced her heart. It did not bleed, but she was already in so much pain that she could not take it anymore.
Three months.
It had taken three short months for them to fall in love with one another.
Three months.
And it took three short months for them to break up.
“Bastard!” At this moment, Leng Hao growled out loud. He rushed forward and punched Zhou Yao’s face.
Zhou Yao was knocked onto the bar, and the wine sses all shattered on the floor with a loud crash. Everyone in the hall was scared and started to run outside.
Blood appeared on the corners of Zhou Yao’s lips, but he did not fight back. Leng Hao grabbed his cor and gave him another punch right after. As he punched him, he cursed him. “Zhou Yao, you are a fucking bastard! My younger sister was so smitten for you, and you are mistreating her like that. Are you bullying her because there are no other people in the Leng family?
“You are really a shameless thing. My father’s matter, Zhiyuan’s miscarriage, I did not fight with you because of that. She felt bad for you and defended you as she thought from your perspective. She treated you so sincerely, and how did you pay her back?”
After a few punches rained down, Zhou Yao was badly hit. These minor injuries did not matter much. He had long gotten used to it, but he stretched his hand out to touch his chest. It was hurting here so much, and it felt like something was chewing his bones
A hot liquid came out from his nostrils. He felt that he was going to have a nosebleed again. This was the warning sign before an attack.
He stretched his hand out to push Leng Hao, and Leng Hao stumbled back.
“You fucking dare to retailiate now!” Leng Hao was about to rush forward.
At this moment, Leng Zhiyuan, who was standing quietly by the side stretched her hand out to pull Leng Hao back. Her face was pale as she shook her head and said, “Older Brother, forget it.”
Zhou Yao looked at Leng Zhiyuan intently before he parted his long legs to walk out.
He just took two steps and heard Leng Hao who was behind him stretch his leg out to kick the table and chairs as he said, “Zhiyuan, forget a man like this. There are so many men in the world. Older Brother will find a better one for you!”
...
Zhou Yao ran over. He went past a street into a secluded back alley. He didn’t want her to see him in this condition.
His vision turned blurry. A sharp and piercing sound that rang out, his kneecaps copsed, and he knelt down onto the ground with a crack before he used both of his hands to cover his ears as he struggled painfully.
“Major General!” At this moment, the beautiful girl ran over hurriedly. She had a serious expression on her face as she nervously asked him, “Major General, are you having another attack now?”
Zhou Yao copsed to the ground. Arge amount of red blood flowed from his nose. His body felt ufortable. He stretched his hand out to scratch his skin until there were multiple scratch marks all over him.
His eyes that were once bright quickly became cloudy. The whites of his eyes were rolling out, and his breathing became extremely hurried. It was just as if he would stop breathing in the next second.
