My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

In a hidden room, Zhou Yao held Bai Qi’s hand and walked in.

There were a few red flame soldiers in the room, and Xiao Zhi was also there. Xiao Zhi saw the two of them and called out respectfully, “General, sister-in-law.”

Bai Qi was quite surprised that Xiao Zhi already knew her identity. She glanced at the man beside her. It seemed that he did not hide her identity from anyone.

Bai Qi felt happy in her heart. She nodded at Xiao Zhi.

Zhou Yao looked ahead. A person was sitting on a wooden stool in front of him. He was dressed in a black robe and had a white cloth wrapped around his head. He was the high priest whom she had not seen for four years.

The high priest slowly opened his eyes and bowed to Zhou Yao. “Hello, General Zhou.” As he spoke, the high priest looked at Bai Qi and nodded. “Madam, long time no see.”

“She’s not some madam. She’s Mrs. Zhou,” Zhou Yao said expressionlessly.

The high priest smiled. “It doesn’t matter what your title is. It’s just a form of address. Mrs. Zhou, long time no see.”

Zhou Yao raised his sword-like eyebrows when he heard this. His thin lips moved. “It seems that the high priest is also a sensible person. Four years ago, when I left the island in a hurry, I really didn’t notice your existence at all.”

“Humph, it’s not too late. With General Zhou’s current status, even if I was at the other end of the world, you would still have captured me.”

Zhou Yao had one hand in his pocket, and his narrow eyes surged with a sharp cold light. “High priest, since I’ve invited you here, do tell me. I hope that you can tell me everything.”

The high priest’s face did not show much fear. “I knew that a day like this was inevitable. In that case, even if General Zhou doesn’t threaten me, I will still spill everything.”

As he spoke, the high priest recalled, “Four years ago, Mrs. Zhou was pregnant on the island, but due to her physical health conditions, she had shown signs of miscarriage at only three months in. Mr. Ye asked me to use medicinal herbs to treat her pregnancy. Then, General Zhou came eight and a half months later, and you snatched her away from Mr. Ye. That night, Mr. Ye sent people to look for Mrs. Zhou. Mr. Ye’s intention was very clear. If Mrs. Zhou did not go with him, the medicinal herbs would not be given to her, and she would give birth prematurely and die. Who would have thought that Mrs. Zhou would rather die than return to Mr. Ye’s side?”

The high priest slowly turned to look at Bai Qi, “Did you really think that Mr. Ye had given up on you? In fact, Mr. Ye couldn’t bear to do so in the end. Perhaps you didn’t know that there was a life-saving pill in the herbal medicine that you drank. This life-saving pill could protect your heart and pulse at the critical moment of your life. That night, when you gave birth to the child, you seemed to have died but didn’t in fact.”

“Mr. Ye played one last game with General Zhou, betting with his life. You didn’t know that his death was not the end, but the beginning. General Zhou fainted. There was an explosion on the island. No one could find you. In fact, I took you away. Mr. Ye asked me to save your life and let you wander after you’ve been saved.”

The high priest did not need to tell her what happened next. She drifted for four whole years and then reunited with Zhou Yao in T City.

Although so much time had passed, Bai Qi still felt chills when someone brought up the past. Ye Ziyi was the last person she should have in her life.

At this moment, Bai Qi’s small hand was pinched hard. Zhou Yao wrapped hers in his large palm, giving her silent comfort and strength.

Bai Qi curled the corners of her lips. Actually, it was fine now. Everything had passed.

“High priest, don’t you have anything to add?” Zhou Yao asked.

The high priest looked at Bai Qi’s face and shook his head, “I don’t know facial manipulation myself, so there’s nothing I can do. I believe that General Zhou already knows the cause. The one who unties the know must be the one who tied it in the first place. I believe that you will find Han Xuan very soon.”

Zhou Yao snorted, then he looked at Xiao Zhi. “Let the high priest go back to where he came from.”

The high priest bowed again. “Thank you, General Zhou.”

Zhou Yao held Bai Qi’s little hand and turned to leave.

Just as he took a step, the high priest’s voice sounded from behind. “Mrs. Zhou.”

Bai Qi stopped in her tracks.

“Mrs. Zhou, Mr. Ye has been living an extreme life. He wasn’t happy. Perhaps he was as cold and heartless as ice to everyone in this world, but he was sincere to you. You have repeatedly provoked him, yet he has repeatedly indulged you. To him, you are the only special existence. Those four years of wandering were his punishment for you, but it was also his love for you.”

Did Ye Ziyi really love her?

Perhaps it was as the high priest had said, Ye Ziyi had toyed with all living things his entire life. He had mercilessly crushed people in the world under his feet, but he had shown mercy to her time and time again.

In the end, he still couldn’t bear to take her life.

He loved her.

But should she be grateful?

When Ye Ziyi loved her, did he ever ask her if she needed his love?

She held to her words that she would never forgive him.

Bai Qi was in a daze. At that moment, her small hand hurt and she staggered. The man in front of her pulled her out.

The two of them walked out. Bai Qi quickened her pace and catch his footsteps. She looked up at him. The man’s expression was cold and stern, looking angry.

Bai Qi pulled her small hand back forcefully. She stopped. “Zhou Yao, what’s wrong?”

Zhou Yao stopped in his tracks. His narrow eyes stared intently into her eyes. “Are you touched? Are you unable to forget Ye Ziyi? Do you want to leave a place for Ye Ziyi in your heart?”

Bai Qi was stunned. He had asked three questions in a row. What was he thinking?

Looking at the man’s deep and displeased expression, the corners of Bai Qi’s lips curled up. “Why? Are you jealous?”

In his eyes, her changing of the topic was a tacit agreement. He stretched out his long arm and grabbed her wrist, pulling her into his embrace. He opened his mouth and bit her tender little earlobe. He gritted his teeth and said, “I’m questioning you. Are you mute? Answer!”

His words were rude and savage. It was fine if he spoke to Sileng like so. But he was still so unreasonable in front of her.

“What does it have to do with you? Can you control the things in my heart? Ye Ziyi was indeed good to me. If Sileng saw him, he should call him uncle. In fact, without Ye Ziyi, there would be no Sileng. Ye Ziyi…”

Suddenly, her waist was tightened. The man’s arm tightened so much that it was like he wanted to strangle her to pieces. “Ye Ziyi, Ye Ziyi, don’t you dare say his name again.”

Bai Qi surrendered to his threat and snorted twice without saying a word.

At this moment, two red flame soldiers walked out. They were stunned when they saw their general hugging her so tightly. Then, the red flame soldiers looked away and said with a simple and honest smile, “General, sister-in-law!”

The two red flame soldiers quickly ran away.

Bai Qi’s face turned red. She didn’t know what would happen when his subordinates saw them like this. She wanted to break free from his embrace. “Zhou Yao, let go! Someone saw us!”
