My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

Auntie…

When Leng Hao heard that word, his right hand that was holding the chopsticks froze.

Leng Zhiyuan quickly raised her head and looked at her son. “Sileng, hurry up and eat. Eat more food.” She kept blinking at her son, meaning — say no more.

Zhou Sileng let out a cry. He knew that he had said something he shouldn’t have, so he quickly lowered his head and ate.

Father Zhou and Mother Zhou knew a little about the situation, but Old Master Zhou didn’t. He quickly added, “Sileng’s uncle, Sileng’s reminder is right. Why didn’t you bring Sileng’s aunt along? It’s the New Year, and you’re alone.”

Father Zhou quickly kicked Old Master Zhou under the table.

Compared to the small actions of this family, Leng Hao was very calm. He said indifferently, “We’re divorced.”

“Oh.” Old Master Zhou answered first and then quickly said, “What? Sileng’s uncle, you’re divorced?”

Father Zhou kicked him under the table. Old Master Zhou also realized that he shouldn’t talk about this topic. He chuckled and said, “It’s okay. If a pair isn’t suitable, they can’t be forced to stay together for the rest of their lives. It’s okay to get a divorce. There are many good girls out there. I’ll definitely keep an eye out for you. If I spot any, I’ll introduce them to you.”

As he spoke, Old Master Zhou suddenly hesitated, “Sileng’s uncle, if… you guys are divorced. What about your child? I forgot to ask. Your son or daughter should be older than our Sileng, right… this family will be much livelier with one more child around…”

“Dad!” Father Zhou quickly stood up. He picked up a small bowl and scooped a bowl of soup for Old Master Zhou. “Dad, I think you’re drunk. Let’s talk less and drink more soup!”

Father Zhou asked him to talk less. His meaning was too obvious. Old Master Zhou didn’t understand. He took the soup and took a sip. He kept muttering in his heart, what did I say wrong?

Leng Hao’s expression didn’t change. He picked up the red wine and drank it all in one go.

“Big brother!” Leng Zhiyuan looked at her big brother with concern.

Leng Hao didn’t say anything. He reached out to take the red wine bottle.

At this time, a soft little hand held his palm. Zhou Sileng frowned and said, “Uncle, don’t drink so much wine.”

Leng Hao looked at the little guy’s big, shining eyes. His expression was absent-minded for a moment. Soon, he withdrew his hand and said, “Okay, uncle won’t drink anymore.”

…

After dinner, Leng Zhiyuan found Leng Hao on the lawn outside. Leng Hao was standing outside, enjoying the wind. He had one hand in his pocket and held a cigarette between his fingers with the other hand.

In front of him was the French window of the mansion. Tonight was the reunion, and there were two flower-cutouts taped on the French window. He exhaled a puff of smoke and looked at the beautiful flowers behind the smoke.

Leng Zhiyuan walked over and said, “Big brother.”

“Yes?” Leng Hao didn’t move.

Leng Zhiyuan suddenly didn’t know what to say. Some people didn’t need to be comforted because any comfort would be sprinkling salt on their wound.

The two were silent. Leng Hao quietly finished half of his cigarette. His hand in the pocket twitched. He asked hoarsely, “Have you seen… her?”

“Mmm.” Leng Zhiyuan nodded. “A month ago, we saw her at the Fulin Mall. Xiaotao came back to hold her art exhibition in the mainland. Big brother, Xiaotao… is doing very well.”

Leng Hao was stunned, then he chuckled softly.

It was a mocking laugh.

But Leng Zhiyuan knew that he was only mocking himself.

“Big brother, how come you and Xiao tao… Xiaotao’s child… is gone?”

Leng Zhiyuan didn’t get an answer. Leng Hao finished smoking. He didn’t answer. He turned around and put out the cigarette butt in the trash can. Then he walked to the car.

“Brother, are you leaving?”

“Yes, I’m going back.” Leng Hao waved his hand without turning his head.

“But big brother, you’re drunk, you can’t drive…”

Before she could finish, Leng Hao got into the car and drove away.

Leng Zhiyuan said nothing more.

…

The street on New Year’s Eve was abnormally quiet. There were almost no pedestrians or cars. At this time of the year, most people were gathered at home. Leng Hao drove the luxury car on the road. The neon lights of the city reflected on his handsome face through the window, his facial features were as cold as ice.

Suddenly, a sharp braking sound was heard. The luxury car stopped. Leng Hao frowned and quickly turned the car around. The luxury car sped in the opposite direction.

Half an hour later, the luxury car slowly stopped. The driver’s window slid down. Leng Hao turned his head to look at the shopping mall next to him, Fulin Mall…

He did not drink much, and it was red wine. He was not drunk, but he felt drunk inside.

A man like him had never celebrated New Year’s Eve before. Hong Kong people did not celebrate the Chinese New Year. However, he had done it once. Now, memories played in his head like a movie. That night, there were firecrackers and red candles. That girl was drunk and lying on the bed, whispering softly. He did not know what had gotten into him, he could not help but kiss her. It was as if she had just eaten a milky pill. Her mouth was fragrant.

However, the scene turned to the hospital. Many people in white coats were walking. In the end, the door of the operating room was pushed open. Someone told him that it was a boy, seven months old…

Leng Hao pressed both of his hands on the steering wheel tightly. He frowned in pain and buried his face in his palms.

…

In the Zhou family mansion.

Leng Zhiyuan leaned on the fence in the courtyard and looked out. Zhou Sileng was setting off firecrackers with her great-grandparents. There were many stars in the distant sky, twinkling.

At this moment, two strong arms wrapped around her slim waist from behind. She was hugged into a warm and broad chest, and her face was kissed. “What are you thinking about?”

Leng Zhiyuan shook her head. “Nothing…”

“Thinking about big brother?” Zhou Yao hugged her tightly.

Leng Zhiyuan frowned, “It’s their relationship. We are just outsiders. It’s useless to worry. I just feel… It’s a pity because Xiaotao is a good girl. She can pass her happiness to the people around her, just like a little angel… And, her child…”

“Honey, if the child is gone, it means there’s no fate. They haven’t let go of it after all these years. That can only mean that they haven’t let go of their love. Big brother knows what he wants.”

“Mmm.” Leng Zhiyuan nodded. Big brother was not young anymore. Did he stay single because he wanted to stay single, or was he waiting for her?

Big brother was waiting for that person to turn around.

Leng Zhiyuan adjusted her emotions and turned to look at the man behind her. “Sweetie, do you want Sileng to become a soldier?”

Zhou Yao rested his chin on her shoulder and rubbed it. “The men of the Zhou family are indomitable. It’s best if Sileng wants to be a soldier. If he’s not interested, I won’t force him.”
