My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

Chapter 809: I Had Been Unable To Forget You All This While

It was six thirty right now. She stood up and took a casual stroll on the main streets.

There was a fountain with a female statue in front of her. The fountain was not switched on, and she stood before the statue as she looked at it for a few seconds.

Swoosh! Suddenly, some water droplets hit her face. She ducked back, but many drops of water still drenched her face.

She stretched her hand out to wipe her face.

Out of nowhere, a large, clean hand stretched over, and a clean white handkerchief was passed to her.

She froze before turning her gaze over to look over. “Ye Ziyi…”

“Yeah, it is me. Wipe your face. It is cold at night. Don’t catch a cold.” Ye Ziyi had a warm smile on his face as he spoke.

“Oh, thank you.” Leng Zhiyuan took the handkerchief and wiped the beads of water on her face dry. She turned her gaze over to the side and asked, “Your younger sister Ye Xiaotao’s matters, did you find out about them?”

“I know, I just came back from America. I’d just got off the plane and was planning to go over your older brother’s place to look for Xiao Tao, but my secretary told me that my father had flown over from Beijing and had already brought Xiao Tao away with him.”

Ye Ziyi really seemed to have rushed over from the airport. He wore a black suit and had a tie on. He had a white long coat on the outside, looking warm and elegant.

Leng Zhiyuan raised her slim eyebrows up as she asked, “Would your father punish your younger sister harshly?”

“Zhiyuan, you don’t have to worry. Although my dad has five sons, he just pampers Xiao Tao alone, as she is his only daughter. Otherwise, he would not have rushed over from Beijing to visit Xiao Tao, so my father would not bear to do anything to Xiao Tao. Also, I have heard what happened between Xiao Tao and your older brother. As for how they are going to handle this, your older brother is a mature person. Xiao Tao has my father to make the decisions. I am not even able to tell how the negotiations will turn out.”

Ye Ziyi spoke very diplomatically and logically. He was definitely a man of upper management. Leng Zhiyuan looked at him with admiration, and she nodded her head.

Ye Ziyi saw the glow that appeared in her eyes for a moment, and his smile became more warm as he said, “Zhiyuan, I didn’t expect the both of us to be so fated with one another. My younger sister actually has relations with your Older Brother.”

“That’s right.” Leng Zhiyuan let out a sigh. The relationships between people on Earth were the most amazing thing. Fate could take two people who were totally unrelated to one another and tie them together.

It was just like her…and Zhou Yao.

Why did she think about that man again?

“Zhiyuan, it is still early; let’s go out for a walk.”

“Sure.”

They walked along the streets, and at this moment, they saw a young lady who held a basket of roses as she sold her items. “Flowers for sale, flowers for sale,” the young lady shouted as she ran over to Ye Ziyi’s side. She was friendly as she said, “Sir, it is Valentine’s Day today. Do you want to buy some flowers for your girlfriend?”

Ye Ziyi turned his body over to the side to glance over at Leng Zhiyuan, and Leng Zhiyuan smiled awkwardly.

“Sir, I have already ran all over for a day. I have not eaten anything yet. I still have to go back home early to cook for my younger brothers and sisters to eat. Can you help me? Help me by buying a flower?” The young lady begged him.

“Zhiyuan, it is a holiday today. Although I am single, I also want to participate in this celebration. Why don’t I give you some roses?”

Leng Zhiyuan looked over at Ye Ziyi’s honest and gentlemanly expression before she looked over at the young girl whose face was all red due to the cold. She nodded her head and said, “I will have to thank you then.”

Ye Ziyi bought her seven roses.

Leng Zhiyuan accepted the roses, and she counted them before she asked, “Why did you buy seven roses?”

Ye Ziyi bent over and went close to her ear as he smiled and said, “I miss you every day.”

Leng Zhiyuan froze before she quickly turned her head around to look at him, and Ye Ziyi was all serious as he looked at her.

She immediately felt embarrassed and lowered her long eyelashes. She had a nonchalant tone as she said, “Ye Ziyi, you are around 28 years old now, right? Why don’t you find a girlfriend?”

“Because, there is someone living inside my heart, and I am unable to forget that person at all.” Ye Ziyi had a hot gaze as he looked over at her.

Leng Zhiyuan became silent. She was not slow to understand. Ye Ziyi hinted at her numerous times tonight and even used that kind of…smitten gaze to look at her.

He liked her?

“Zhiyuan, how about you? Didn’t you already get married? Major General Zhou did not accompany you today?”

Leng Zhiyuan tugged on the corners of her lips as she said, “He is probably…busy right now.”

“This is Major General Zhou’s mistake. It is Valentine’s Day today. It is already so late at night. What could be more urgent than accompanying his own wife? If a man likes a woman, he would definitely make the effort.”

Leng Zhiyuan’s heart felt that it was attacked by bees. That was right. What was she still hoping for? He’d disappointed her time and time again, and furthermore, there was Han Xuan by his side whom he was unable to shake off.

Why did she become so weak? Was this still her? Was she still Leng Zhiyuan?

Leng Zhiyuan shook her head. She took a deep breath of air. Okay then. From now onwards, she had to forget about Zhou Yao and not be affected by him anymore, and she’d just ignore him all the way to the end!

“Zhiyuan, there is a cable car there. Let’s go and take it together.” Ye Ziyi stretched his finger out to point to the cable car in mid air in the distance.

“Okay.”

…

They sat inside the cable car. Leng Zhiyuan perched herself by the window to look at the dark blue sky. The sky filled with stars, and they were shining extremely brightly.

“Zhiyuan, do you still remember back when we were in middle school? At that time, I lived beside you. Every morning when I played the piano, I would always see a girl’s shadow by the French windows by my side, and she would be staring at me.”

Upon bringing this up, Leng Zhiyuan’s small face quickly turned red. She was extremely embarrassed as she said, “That… When you play the piano…you look very handsome. I looked on for a long time… At that time, didn’t I look very ugly?”

“How could that be?”

“At that time, I was just like a boy. I did not like to make friends, and I did not like to wear skirts…”

“Yeah, compared to those girls who were chasing me, they would all have long flowy hair and would be shy and gentle in their actions. You really did not seem like a girl.” Ye Ziyi nodded his head as he recounted the past.

This made Leng Zhiyuan want to dig a hole to hide herself in.

“But, these years have passed, and I only remember one person. She would stand outside the French widows to look at me, and she would always appear in my dreams.”

Leng Zhiyuan froze.

At this moment, the cable car shook. It was as if it was about to derail. She wanted to stand up to have a look at what was happening, but there was a warmth by her side, and it turned out that Ye Ziyi had come over from the seat opposite to her side. He stretched his right arm out to hold onto her soft waist and comforted her gently as he said, “Don’t be afraid. Nothing is wrong. I am here.”

Leng Zhiyuan:…

She was not afraid.

An unfamiliar masculine scent came into her nostrils. It made her entire body feel uncomfortable. She wanted to move, but at this moment, she heard Ye Ziyi say by the side of her ear, “Zhiyuan, I like you.”

Leng Zhiyuan’s heart leaped. Although she was not vain, all sorts of hints from him were enough to show that he liked her, and now, he’d finally said these words aloud.

She turned her head back to look at him.

Ye Ziyi stretched his left hand out to touch her hair, and he softly repeated, “Zhiyuan, throughout these years, I’ve always been unable to forget you. I’ve liked you for many years now.”
