My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

Chapter 450: Zhou Jian Story (9) Stretched Both Of Her Hands To Hold Him Tight

Xiao Li was shocked as she looked at the man slowly. The lights in the room were all dimmed to the darkest. This window was far off, and it made the room seem darker. The man was dressed in a white shirt and black trousers as he stood by the side of the window. The cold wind blew in from outside, and it made his shirt puffy as it blew.

He did not feel cold at all. He placed his left hand in his pocket and used two fingers on his right hand to pinch a cigarette as he leaned on the window. Three buttons were undone lazily on his shirt, exposing his healthy skin tone. He had a frown on his face as he smoked, and he lifted his head to spit the smoke out. As he lifted his head, the man’s exquisite and sexy Adam’s apple and collarbones were extremely defined. He had a deep line on his forehead, and she did not know if it was because he was still not satisfied.

Xiao Li froze on the spot at that moment. She never thought that she would be able to see the man behaving like this. He was lazy as he looked rogue and masculine.

Her small face was red and white. Her face was pale because she was crying earlier, and her face was red because she looked at him behaving like this, and she was smitten with him.

The man smoked after doing the deed. His posture was as strong as alcohol, and it made her face and ears turn red.

As she was in a daze, the man’s gaze came over casually. “I dismissed you, you are here to ask me the reason why? What is there to ask? I have given two months pay to you. You can pursue your interests.”

He was probably afraid that he would wake that woman, so he lowered his volume to some extent. No matter how cold his words were, as he spoke, they were still extremely warm and charming. Xiao Li listened on and felt her legs crumble. She gritted her teeth as she asked, “But Dr. Zhou, you still have to give me a reason for terminating me.”

Zhou Dayuan took a puff of smoke. He lowered his gaze to spit it out. He slowly put on a smile on his lips. His dark, sparkling eyes were pinned on her face as he said, “Then why don’t you give me a reason for not terminating you.”

Xiao Li felt her face burn. He had long seen through her plans.

She was not firm in her work. He dismissed her. She was unwilling to be dismissed, and it was still because she had intentions that she should not have had for him.

“Dr. Zhou, if you are dismissing me because I like you, isn’t that being too overboard? The girls that have feelings for you can queue up all the way to the Yellow River in the River South. Do you have to get rid of all of them also?”

Zhou Dayuan was silent for a few seconds. He took two final puffs of the cigarette before he moved his long legs. He bent his waist down to stub the cigarette in the ashtray on the table. “At least I can guarantee that those people would not appear before my wife, and she would not be affected by them. As for whether I am going overboard or not, you are bossing me right now. Who is the boss then? Get out, and close the door behind you. Thank you.”

Xiao Li looked at the man’s handsome back profile. She didn’t think that this man who was warm on the outside was so cruel in his bones.

He had already walked to the woman’s side. He slowly bent his body down. Xiao Li did not know what he was looking at. Throughout these years, couples who were married for half a year, their feelings would be long faded, but it was only him that did not get enough of his woman.

Xiao Li took a deep breath. She turned around to leave. She felt that she had given up now.

There was a type of couple on earth; you could tell at first glance that they had deep feelings for one another.

…

Jian Han had always been taken care of exquisitely. When she was eight months pregnant, the man taking care of her could not stand it anymore, and he had a bout of high fever.

Zhou Dayuan was not a person who would fall sick frequently, but once he fell ill, it was akin to a mountain collapsing. He lay on the bed, and his entire body was hot. He was unable to sweat, as if he had been sapped all of his energy.

Jian Han did not go to the clinic. She stood at the side of the bed. As she stretched her small hand out to touch his forehead, she had a frown on her face, and she looked both flustered and shocked. “Yeah, it is so hot, this won’t do. I will take you to the hospital.”

She came to hug him.

Zhou Dayuan forced himself to open his eyes. His throat was so dry that it hurt. He pinned her slim wrist as he weakly said, “Wifey, be good. You are not allowed to go out of the house. Otherwise, I would not be able to look for you… I don’t have to go to the hospital. I took medication and will be fine after I sleep for a while…”

Without him, the moment she went out of the door, she would get lost.

Jian Han noticed that he was very uncomfortable. She also felt bad. “Okay, I won’t get out of the house…” She spoke softly. She bent her body down and perched her small head on his chest. She looked very very obedient.

Zhou Dayuan kissed her forehead. When he woke up this morning. He realized that her body was not behaving correctly. He did not think that he would get a high fever so quickly, and he actually wanted to call Ning Qing. Jian Han needed a person to take care of her, but his eyelids were too heavy, and he was in a daze as he wanted to sleep.

“Wifey, be good, Don’t move about recklessly… I will recover very quickly… After I am well, I will wake up to make a meal for you… Now you just accompany me here…” he muttered softly as he kissed her and hugged her tight.

Jian Han really stopped moving. She shut her eyes as she accompanied him to sleep, until she heard his even breathing, and she sat upright.

The man’s body was too hot. She went into the washroom, took a warm towel, and she put it on his head.

After sitting for awhile, Jian Han still stood up, and she took her bag as she went out the doors of the condominium unit.

…

As she walked on the main streets, Jian Han found a large scale supermarket. She picked a few fruits and vegetables, and she prepared to steam a pear with rock sugar for him in the afternoon, then she would make some plain porridge for him.

Although he would get better after taking medication, his strength would not recuperate so quickly. How could he not have any food?

Although her culinary skills were not too good, she still could manage some simple dishes.

She went to the cashier to pay, then she took the groceries bags out of the door of the supermarket.

She wanted to go back to the condominium unit, but she took two steps and froze. She stood at her original spot as she looked around her surroundings in a blur. She suddenly forgot where she was supposed to go.

She tried to cross the traffic lights in the front. Jian Han did not see any familiar buildings. There was a girl on the line at the side of the road. She went forward and asked, “Can I know…”

The girl paused in her conversation as she looked at her. “Older Sister, what is wrong? Did you get lost?”

Jian Han was at a loss; did she lose her way?

Where did she want to go?

She could not even say the name of the condominium.

“Older Sister, you look so pale. Are you feeling uncomfortable? Your belly seems to be at eight months already. Why did you not come out with your family? Where is your phone? You can make a call.”

That’s right. She reminded Jian Han that she could make a call with her phone.

She went to look for her phone in her bag happily, but she could not find her phone, because she did not bring her phone out.

“Older Sister, did you not bring your phone with you? What about this: tell me the number, and I will help you make the call.”

“Okay.” Jian Han thought that this plan worked. She did not have her phone but she could remember the number. She opened her mouth, but she was unable to say a single word because she was unable to remember anything.

Jian Han froze entirely. She stood in her original spot. As she turned around, she could see cars and people come and go in her line of vision. The city was busy, but why did her heart feel so empty?

As if many years ago, she’d gone to an alien city all alone. She stood in the corner of a city to look at the night scene. She wanted to look for a familiar face in the vast sea of people. She wanted to leap into his embrace to complain about her misgivings and act coy. She wanted to tell him. She missed him so much.

Time was like sand that weaved through her fingers. The moment she blinked her eyes, she came back to her original spot. She threw her heart away and threw him away.

The bags in her hands fell onto the ground with a bang. She bent over and used both of her small hands to cup her face as she sobbed painfully. “Woo woo…”

Where was she supposed to go?

The man who belonged to her?

Why did they all disappear?

She wanted to go home. She was really afraid.

She was really so so afraid.

The girl who was making a call was also shocked. She bent over as she quickly comforted her. “Older Sister, what is wrong? If there is anything wrong, you can just say it. Let me see if I am able to help you.”

Jian Han did not bother with her. She only focused on her sobbing. These few years, throughout everything that happened, through the times that seemed like a blur, she had long been used to her tears accompanying her.

A voice rang out behind her, “Jian Han?”

Jian Han froze and stopped crying before she turned her head back slowly.

It was Tang Fan.

“Tang Fan.” She stood up slowly.

Tang Fan quickly went forward. “Jian Han, why are you here? Are you crying? What happened? Did Zhou Dayuan bully you?”

Jian Han stretched her hand out to wipe her tears dry. There was a questioning look in her eyes as she said, “Zhou Dayuan? Are you referring to that patient Zhou Dayuan?”

Tang Fan heard what she said and understood. She had yet to recuperate and had forgotten Zhou Dayuan.

“Jian Han, then what are you doing now? Why are you crying?”

“Because, it seems like I have…lost someone. I…forgot how to go home.”

Tang Fan had a self mocking smile on his lips. Although she forgot Zhou Dayuan, Zhou Dayuan lived in her heart all the time, and he had never faded at all.

“Okay.” Tang Fan nodded his head and said with a smile. “Jian Han, since you have forgotten so many people, why do you still remember me?”

He heard that she did not remember Ning Qing and Lu Shaoming, but she just remembered him.

There was a gentle smile on Jian Han’s almond-shaped face. With a serious tone, she said, “Tang Fan, I have always remembered all of the good things that you did for me. If I did not meet you in my life, I do not know what kind of mess my life would be right now. Thank you, Tang Fan. I need to thank you for your companionship throughout these years. Although I am unable to repay your contributions and feelings, I sincerely wish that you would be happy. Tang Fan, let it go. Go and search for your own bliss.”

What could Tang Fan say? Actually, he was good towards her and never asked her to repay him. She remembered it, and she left a place for him inside her heart. He was already satisfied.

He went forward and stretched his arms out to lightly take her into his embrace. He emotionally said, “Jian Han, I know that you do not need me to be good towards you now, then I would not be good towards you. I really want to be good towards you sincerely. You are too kind and too naïve. You took responsibility for everything that happened in the past on your back and interpreted it as your own mistake. I am… Your parents also… Actually, both your parents and I love you. The motive of us loving you is to make sure that you are blissful. Since only Zhou Dayuan can give you the bliss that you need now, why do you still have to stress yourself?

“Jian Han, I will let go of you slowly, and search for my own happiness, then you have to do the same. Let it go, then. Your bliss is already here. The thing that you need to do right now is to stretch both of your hands right now to hold him tight.”

Jian Han was in a daze. “Is my bliss here?”

“Yeah, it is here!” Tang Fan let go of her.

At this moment, there was a hurried and anxious growl that rang out in her ears. “Jian Han!”

Jian Han turned to face the origin of the sound.

Zhou Dayuan came, he was in such a hurry to come, he dashed across the road, while he was still dressed in a light grey v-neck sweater matched together with a pair of black trousers. He had a pair of dark blue cloth slippers on his feet. He held his phone in his hands as he ran over in a hurry.

He stood in front of her and panted. She did not know if the red in his eyes was due to his fever or his hurriedness. The shirt on his chest fluttered as the wind blew over. His sickness made him seem even more frail than usual. He looked at her, and he had a serious expression on his face.
