He asked the kitchen staff to make this specially for her?

Leng Zhiyuan was still surprised. Although he was wild and uninhibited, he did not put on any airs despite being rich. He did not like to be special and was not picky about what he ate. He didn’t use any privileges, eating the same things and sleeping with those soldiers.

But today, he asked the kitchen to cook for her?

Leng Zhiyuan felt that the rice in her mouth was as sweet as honey.

“Sister-in-law, as soon as we finished our training this morning, Major General ran to the kitchen and asked the chef to brew a soup for you. The chef asked what kind of soup, and the major general said for women to supplement their bodies, so the chef stewed a bowl of fish soup.” Xiaozhi then scratched his head and said, “Sister-in-law, is fish soup very good for women’s bodies?”

Leng Zhiyuan’s ears burned up rapidly. What was Zhou Yao talking about? After women and men do that, if done excessively, women are to drink fish soup to replenish the body.

How could he tell that to the kitchen staff?

Now everyone knew.

“Sister-in-law, you didn’t see the scene at that time. As soon as Major General spoke, the aunties in the kitchen all covered their mouths and laughed. The women soldiers all started looking over, whispering as if they’d discovered something new. I don’t understand. This...”

“I don’t understand either. If you want to understand, you’d better ask your major general.” Leng Zhiyuan quickly interrupted Xiaozhi’s words. If he went on, she would want to dig a hole in the ground and hide in it.

“Ok, Sister-in-law, take your time. I’ll get going.” Xiaozhi left.

Leng Zhiyuan ate alone. She didn’t taste whether the fish soup was nice. Her mind was full of that man’s appearance, simple and clean, with a little...silliness. She laughed out loud blissfully.

...

Leng Zhiyuan did not go out all day, and Zhou Yao did not come back until the evening.

The door was pushed open, and the tall man with long legs appeared at the door. She quickly ran to him. “Are you back?”

“Yes.” Zhou Yao stretched out his long arm to clasp her shoulder, pulled her into his embrace, and the pair walked out together.

Leng Zhiyuan found a jeep waiting outside. She was puzzled, “It’s so late. Where are you taking me?”

Zhou Yao was still wearing a camouflage uniform. He looked down at her elegant face. “The old man called me and asked me to take you back immediately.”

“Grandpa? Is there any particular matter that Grandpa needs me for?”

“No. Father is here from Hong Kong. He’s visiting my house now.”

What?

Her father had come here from Hong Kong?

How could she not be aware at all?

After Zhou Yao opened the door, Leng Zhiyuan jumped in first, and then he got in. When the car started, Leng Zhiyuan thought for a moment and said, “Why did my father come suddenly? He usually calls me first before he comes.”

Zhou Yao looked at her beautiful grey eyes and smiled bitterly. “My wife, I may have offended Father.”

“Hm?” Leng Zhiyuan did not understand.

Zhou Yao pulled her into his arms, then rubbed her smooth, soft forehead with his chin. “You heard right. Dad is here to criticize me. My wife, you have to side with me later, ok?”

...

In the Zhou family home

Zhou Yao held Leng Zhiyuan’s little hand as they walked into the room. Leng Mu was sitting in the living room drinking tea. Old Master Zhou, Mr. and Mrs. Zhou were all there. Although they chatted occasionally, one could detect that the atmosphere was a little bit...cold.

When Mrs. Zhou saw that they were back, she quickly got up. “Zhou Yao, Zhiyuan, you two have finally come back. We have been waiting here for a long time.”

Saying that, Mrs. Zhou gave Zhou Yao a look that meant — What are you waiting for, aren’t you going to apologize to your father-in-law?

Mr. Zhou was still refined and gentle. He looked at Leng Mu and laughed awkwardly, then looked up and cast a glance at Zhou Yao.

Although the Old Master Zhou looked calm on the surface, when he looked at Zhou Yao, his mustache was almost slanted with anger. His whole face was filled with...disappointment... Oh no, it’s...despair.

Zhou Yao and Leng Zhiyuan looked at Leng Mu and called out, “Dad.”

“Humph.” Leng Mu snorted. He heavily set the teacup on the tea table and looked towards Leng Zhiyuan. “Zhiyuan, let me ask you, I could not contact you these few days. Where have you been?”

On the way just now, Leng Zhiyuan had guessed that her dad was coming because of the attack outside the military base, or more precisely, because of Han Xuan. She was mentally prepared, but now that she saw his cold appearance, she was a bit at a loss for words. “Oh, Dad, a few days ago I... A few days ago there was an accident...but it was just a trivial matter. It’s all over now. Why are you bringing it up now?”

“Trivial matter? You falling off a cliff was a trivial matter?” Leng Mu replied gravely.

“Dad, I...”

“Father.” Just then Zhou Yao stepped forward. “Let me explain. The other day, one of my...comrades in arms was taken to the medical base at the security control bureau. She was innocent, so I went with Zhiyuan to save her, but later, we were attacked by terrorists outside the base, and Zhiyuan accidentally fell off the cliff...”

“Hah, ha ha!” Leng Mu laughed twice. He stood up and went to Zhou Yao. “Good Son-in-law, who is that comrade in arms who was worth you breaking into the security control bureau? Did you think about the consequences of your involvement in politics? Or was it that you did think of the consequences, but you still had to save that person no matter what?”

Zhou Yao’s handsome features stiffened for a moment. “Hah, ha ha!” He quickly laughed apologetically. “Father, listen to me explain again...”

“Zhiyuan.” Leng Mu looked directly at Leng Zhiyuan. “Pack up and go home with me!”

“Dad!”

“Father!”

Old Master Zhou also quickly stood up. “Mr. Leng, I can explain to you about this Han Xuan. She is Han Hong’s younger sister. When Zhou Yao was 16 years old, I sent him into the army with Han Hong. Han Hong was his instructor. Later, there was a battle, and Han Hong died to save Zhou Yao. After that, Zhou Yao and Han Xuan... Ah, I don’t know the specific situation, but I can assure you in the name of our Zhou family that Zhou Yao and Han Xuan are absolutely innocent.”

“Innocent? Mr. Zhou, I ask you, what do you mean by innocence? If Han Xuan were caught again today, would Zhou Yao be able to turn a blind eye to her? A man is on standby for another woman 24 hours a day, and he can also give his life for her at any time. You all can even shamelessly say that you are innocent in such a relationship that cannot be cut clean and is so disorderly!” Leng Mu sharply asserted.

“This...” Old Man Zhou didn’t know what to say at that instant. He could only try to calm him down. “Mr. Leng, don’t be angry. After all, Zhou Yao owed this Han Hong for saving his life...”

“Did he save my Zhiyuan then?” Leng Mu rebutted.

“This...”

“Since he did not save Zhiyuan, why should my Zhiyuan suffer from grievances because of her?”

“Dad,” said Leng Zhiyuan, furrowing her eyebrows. “Don’t say that, I...”

Leng Mu gave Zhou Yao a look that could kill. “I’ve worked hard to raise my daughter. Why did I not realise that you are so magnanimous? My daughter should have turned around and left when her man yelled for her to wait. My daughter, when Han Xuan was about to fall off the cliff, should not have saved her but instead kicked her and sent her off!”
