My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

Leng Zhiyuan was asleep, but she was sleeping in a blur. She did not know what time it was. A part of the bed sunk in, and a muscular arm came over. She habitually flipped her body over before she obediently lay in the man’s embrace.

“What time is it?” She went closer to the man’s neck and closed her eyes as she unclearly asked the question.

Zhou Yao bent over to kiss her forehead. He was soft and gentle as he said, “It is very late now. Don’t open your eyes, and also don’t say anything. Continue to sleep.”

“Ok.”

Zhou Yao brought the blankets over them and hugged her tight before closing his eyes.

…

They slept all the way until the early morning. Zhou Yao slowly opened his eyes, and he had a look outside the window. It was seven in the morning.

He woke up late.

He was normally a light sleeper, and when he was out on mission overseas, he would occasionally have jet lag. It was good enough for him to sleep four hours, so he would normally wake up early — around five in the morning. He would usually go out for a run, but today he woke up two hours late. The first reason was because he was too fatigued, and the second reason was the woman in his embrace.

He lowered his gaze to have a look at Leng Zhiyuan. She was still nested in his embrace. Her body was soft and fragrant, and he did not want to let go as he hugged her.

He took his arm back gently, got out of bed, and decided to let her have a little more sleep.

He was about to get out of bed, when the woman behind him also sat up. Her gentle and boneless body fell onto his back immediately, and she clenched her small fists as she rubbed her blurry eyes. She was all soft as she said, “Is it morning now? Do we need to get up? I still want to sleep…”

As he heard her soft voice, it made Zhou Yao’s entire heart melt. He turned to the side to hug her. Her small head was in his embrace, and it was so tiny. It seemed that she was really too tired. He stretched his hand out to part the black hair by the side of her face and exposed her small, fair, tofu-like face. She pouted her red lips and was very unsatisfied, and she was probably mad that he’d disturbed her sleep.

He kissed her hair and laughed as he comforted her. “I am going to get up. You can sleep a little while longer…”

“I don’t want to.” She stretched her small fair hand out to tug his shirt by his waist as she coyly said, “Sleep together…”

Zhou Yao was a person who did not budge when it was hard but rather when she was all soft. After being together with Leng Zhiyuan, she would rarely act cute to him, and now that he heard her doing so, all of the bones in his body became soft.

He suddenly thought of a phrase: a gentle woman, a hero’s home.

His firm features were all steeped in gentleness. He raised his right wrist up to look at his watch and decided to…sleep a little while longer.

He hugged her soft waist and layback onto the bed together with her.

…

At seven thirty, Xiao Zhi was already outside the room and had a look multiple times. He held the meal tray in his hands. Breakfast had become cold multiple times, and he exchanged it for a hot meal. He’d been waiting for over an hour since six thirty.

Why was Major General still not awake yet?

Xiao Zhi felt very puzzled. Major General never woke up late in the base in the past ten years. Why did he wake up late today?

Could it be because Older Sister-in-law was around?

Xiao Zhi thought about it and understood what was going on. He felt very comforted inside his heart. Major General had just gotten out of surgery three days ago. In the past three days, Major General looked for Older Sister-in-law and managed to comfort Han Xuan. He was in between two women, and it was very tiring for Major General. He was only a bystander and could tell, and he wanted Major General to lay in bed to have more rest, but Major General was unwilling. Although now that Older Sister-in-law was here, everything was all fine.

He could finally tell that only Older Sister-in-law was able to control Major General.

Major General only listened to Older Sister-in-law.

The sound of hurried footsteps suddenly rang out in the air, and a few foreign doctors rushed over.

“Mr. Xiao Zhi, where is Major General Zhou?” the main physician with a huge beard asked anxiously.

“Oh, my Major General has some matters to attend to, can I know what has happened? Is it regarding Miss Han Xuan’s illness…” Xiao Zhi asked.

“That’s right, I have new developments regarding Miss Han Xuan’s illness, but I need to ask Major General Zhou for his instructions.”

“This…” Xiao Zhi was put on the spot. Miss Han Xuan’s illness was very urgent, but Major General was still…sleeping.

The door suddenly opened with a creak. Zhou Yao parted his long legs to walk out.

“Major General!”

Zhou Yao glanced over at Xiao Zhi before looking over at the bearded physician. He parted his thin lips and directly asked, “What new development? Just say it.”

He heard everything that the doctor had told Xiao Zhi outside the door.

“Major General Zhou, the poison in Miss Han Xuan’s body was spreading out quickly, with the speed it is spreading right now, I am afraid that she will not…last a month.”

Zhou Yao’s expressions sunk, and his thin lips were pursed into a straight line.

“We discussed it all night last night, and we calculated the risks. We want to get the poison out of Miss Han right now. I have 70% confidence that I can direct the poison in Miss Han’s body to her legs…”

“Legs? What does that mean?”

“The meaning is, to protect Miss Han’s life, we might have to sacrifice her legs.”

Zhou Yao listened and did not say anything.

Xiao Zhi was shocked. He stepped forward and said, “What? Sacrificing her legs? In the future, Miss Han Xuan…would be disabled, and she would have to use a wheelchair for the rest of her life? No, Miss Han Xuan would not agree to it. Her character is strong, and she is still young. I believe that she’d rather die than be disabled…”

“Mr. Xiao Zhi, this is the best plan that we can think of right now. This surgery can at least save Miss Han’s life, and in the future, she would not need to be tortured by the illness anymore.”

Xiao Zhi stopped talking. If this sugery really went on, Miss Han Xuan would not need to be totured by the illness anymore, but she needed to shoulder the torture in her soul.

A healthy person was never able to understand the world of the disabled.

“Okay, we will go ahead with the surgery immediately,” said Zhou Yao.

Xiao Zhi was taken aback, and he said, “Major General…”

“Major General Zhou, we cannot let Miss Han know about the surgery beforehand. It is to prevent her from protesting crazily. As for the risks of the surgery, and her recovery after surgery…”

“I will take all responsibility for it.”

The doctor and Xiao Zhi both left. Zhou Yao pushed the door and went inside. He washed up simply before walking over to the hanger to take his black leather jacket. He was extremely soft as he walked over to the side of the bed to look at the woman on the bed, and she was still sleeping.

She was in deep slumber.

Zhou Yao curled the corners of his lips up and was all gentle. He turned around and left the room.

The moment she heard the door close, Leng Zhiyuan slowly opened her eyes…

…

The surgery went on for four hours. Zhou Yao stood outside the operating theatre the entire time until the doctor with the big beard walked out to report to him, “Major General Zhou, the surgery was extremely successful.”

Zhou Yao’s silent expressions relaxed at that moment. He had a glance at Han Xuan, who was wheeled out by the nurses, as he asked, “When will she wake up?”

“If there are no accidents after the anesthesia is gone, she will wake up in probably an hour’s time.”

“Okay. It has been hard on you.” Zhou Yao thanked the doctor with the large beard.

The doctor with the big beard nodded his head before he walked away.

Ding! The phone in Zhou Yao’s pocket made a noise.

He took it out to have a look; it was a message.

“Xiao Zhi.” He slipped his phone back into his pocket and waved his hand towards Xiao Zhi in the distance.
