My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

The brilliant smile on his face left Leng Zhiyuan in a trance. At this moment, Zhou Yao had already walked up to her. He reached out his hand, stroke her hair, and said lovingly, “What are you daydreaming about? Aren’t you happy that I’m back?”

Leng Zhiyuan immediately came back to her senses. She blinked and said, “That’s not it…”

Her attitude was very unenthusiastic, which was a sharp contrast to her attitude before he’d left. Zhou Yao frowned, then covered his abdomen with his hands and hissed in pain.

“What’s wrong? Are you hurt? Let me see!” Leng Zhiyuan widened her eyes and quickly ran to his side. She reached out to feel his abdomen.

It felt warm as if he was bleeding.

“How did you get hurt?”

“I was hit by a sharp reef just now, but… ” Zhou Yao looked at her nervous expression. “It’s just a scratch. It doesn’t hurt. If you weren’t so cold to me and were willing to smile for me… ”

He had the mood to joke at this time?

Leng Zhiyuan hit his shoulder with her fist.

Zhou Yao chuckled and reached out his long arm to embrace her.

She struggled twice, but he did not let go. The familiar strong masculine scent on his body made Leng Zhiyuan smile. Then she hugged him back.

Thank God for bringing him back!

…

Everyone then made their way out of the mountain and camped in the local tents. The doctors bandaged the injured patients one after another. The injury on Leng Zhiyuan’s neck was not serious. She would recover quickly after treatment.

Zhou Yao was in a different tent than her. She lifted the entrance curtain and walked in.

The man sat by the bed. He had taken off his shirt and was reapplying medicine treatment on his injured abdomen. His back was facing her. His built figure bathed in the warm sunlight. Leng Zhiyuan glanced at him. His shoulders were wide and his waist was small. The outline of his body was as smooth as a marbled wall, to the point of perfection.

Leng Zhiyuan felt her face burning. She did not expect to see such beautiful scenery of a man early in the morning.

She was about to turn around and leave.

At this moment, Zhou Yao noticed the noise behind him and turned his head. “Zhiyuan, you’re here? Just in time. Help me bandage my wound.”

Leng Zhiyuan did not run away after being discovered by him. He would think that she had a guilty conscience. “Sure,” She walked in.

Zhou Yao sat on the bed. One of his long legs stretched forward while the other was bent. Leng Zhiyuan went to the bedside, took the rolled gauze from the medical kit, and wrapped it around his waist.

“Let me know if it hurts,” she said.

“Mm-hmm,” Zhou Yao answered, then asked, “How did you find the Scorpion’s nest? Where did you get that painting? ”

Leng Zhiyuan knew that he would ask about this, and she answered calmly, “Ever since my father’s accident, I’ve suspected that this series of events had something to do with Scorpion. So I’ve been going after him. A few days ago, my brother suddenly brought this painting to me, saying that one of our underlings took it from a casino belonging to Scorpion. It seemed to be painted by Scorpion himself. I took a look at it and felt that there was something peculiar about the bracelet in the painting. So I sent Ah Chen to investigate, and here I am.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Is that so?

Leng Zhiyuan stopped what she was doing and looked at Zhou Yao. She frowned and asked, “What’s with the tone? Are you doubting me?”

Zhou Yao looked into her eyes and shook his head. “No, I’m just curious. You found out about something my team spent many years searching about fruitlessly in such a short time… I don’t have any ill intent, don’t overthink it.”

He reached out his hands and stroked her hair.

Leng Zhiyuan didn’t know if he really believed her or if he had his suspicions. She looked down naturally and continued to bandage him. “Who will take care of the rest?”

“Don’t worry. I’ve already informed the higher-ups. The research team will be here soon. Although the castle was destroyed by the explosion, there’s still valuable information that remains.”

“Mmm,” Leng Zhiyuan nodded.

She needed to wrap the gauze around his abdomen, but her arm wasn’t long enough. So she bent down and wrapped her hands around his back to bandage him. Zhou Yao immediately frowned.

Her posture looked as if she was hugging him. It was very intimate. The refreshing fragrance from her body kept entering his nostrils, intoxicating him. He straightened his waist and suddenly felt restless.

“It’s done,” Leng Zhiyuan tied a knot and finished the job perfectly.

She didn’t hear the man respond. She looked up at him and saw that the man was staring at her with a burning gaze. The meaning behind those eyes was clear.

Leng Zhiyuan froze, then quickly straighten her back. She saw his pants from the corner of her eyes. He… had a reaction again.

Zhou Yao was also a little uneasy. “Sorry, I couldn’t;t control myself. Just now, the sweet scent from your body drifted towards me…”

“I’ll be leaving.”

Leng Zhiyuan did not wait for him to finish his sentence and quickly walked out.

…

Just when she’d exited, Ah Chen walked over. “Miss…”

Leng Zhiyuan signaled Ah Chen a look, then she walked into her tent. “What’s the matter? You can speak now.”

“Miss, I want to ask you something about Scorpion. You fought with Scorpion in the castle, so are you certain now that Scorpion is…”

Leng Zhiyuan looked calm. She thought for a while but did not give any definite answer, “I know what to do about this. Book me a flight for tomorrow morning. I need to go back.”

“Already? Miss, Major General Zhou will be staying here for a few days to take care of the aftermath. You’re not going to wait with him?”

“No.”

“Yes, Miss.”

“Oh, Achen. Can I take a shower here?” She was in the dirty water for a long time yesterday. She didn’t know if it was due to the high altitude or the quality of the water, but she felt uncomfortable and wanted to clean up.

“Miss, there doesn’t seem to be a place for showering here. Oh, actually, I heard that there’s a natural hot spring not far from here. You can take a bath there.”

Hot spring again?

It appeared that hot springs and her were destined.

“Got it.”

…

In the evening, Leng Zhiyuan found the natural hot spring that Ah Chen mentioned. The water here was very clear. She reached out to check the temperature of the water, and it felt very comfortable.

She looked around and there was no one around, so she took off her clothes and walked in.

She submerged her entire body in the cozy spring. She leaned her head against a big rock and closed her eyes. She allowed her mind to go blank and nothing occupied her thoughts.

At this moment, her ears moved. She suddenly heard footsteps.

Someone was coming.

She quickly opened her eyes. Who was it?

She did not move. She wanted to wait and see. At this moment, there was the sound of someone removing their clothes. Then, ripples appeared on the surface of the hot spring. Someone had entered the pool.

Was that person also here for a hot spring bath?

Leng Zhiyuan thought that since she had finished bathing herself, and there’s no sign saying that the spring is private, she’ll be reasonable and let someone else bathe as well.
