My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

Chapter 980: She Suddenly Burst Into Tears

Bai Qi had never thought that Zhou Yao would want a stepmother for little Sileng!

Little Sileng’s tender and cute little face appeared in her mind. Bai Qi suddenly felt as if a piece of her heart had been torn out. It hurt so much.

Then, Zhou Yao said in an indifferent tone, “My answer is the same as before.”

The same as before?

What kind of answer was that?

Bai Qi was going crazy. She really wanted to know his answer. He had indeed answered, but she could not understand it at all. It appeared that this wasn’t their first time discussing such a matter.

Just how many women had he hooked up with outside?

“Come out.” The voice said.

Bai Qi looked up in a hurry and saw that Zhou Yao had already turned his body in her direction. Even though she hid behind many branches, she could still feel his sharp gaze on her body.

He knew that she was hiding here.

Bai Qi felt awkward. She had no choice but to show herself.

Yang Lin had already run away. Bai Qi caught a glimpse of Yang Lin from her side. Yang Lin seemed to be covering her mouth as she ran away crying.

Did he reject her?

So what if he rejected her? With his ostentatious way of living, many women just want to pounce on him. Little Sileng would one day end up having a stepmother.

Zhou Yao looked at the woman standing in front of him. He slowly raised the corners of his lips and sneered, “Ms. Bai, why were you standing there? Were you eavesdropping?”

“No, I’m just passing by!” Bai Qi replied confidently.

“Humph,” Zhou Yao chuckled.

His laughter made her hair stand on end. What was there to laugh about?

“Let me ask you, do you really plan to find a stepmother for Sileng?” Bai Qi asked stiffly.

The smile on Zhou Yao’s face widened. He glanced at her from top to bottom, his voice cold and indifferent, “Do I need to report to you? Who are you?”

His words had always been concise and harsh. Bai Qi’s little face instantly turned red and white. That’s true. Who was she in their life to ask such a question?

The teacher?

Bai Qi felt that she was overly concerned about Sileng. What right did she have to interfere with Sileng’s family affairs? Even if Sileng really got a stepmother, she did not have the right to say a single word. action

But...

Bai Qi’s voice softened, and she tugged the corner of her clothes with two small hands. “But being a stepmother is not that easy. There are many news reports of stepmothers abusing children now. This is not a rare occurrence... That Yang Lin’s background is indeed very good. She has a pretty face and a good temperament. If you marry her, you will definitely be able to rise to a higher rank in the military. But... Yang Lin is so young. You guys will definitely have children in the future. Sileng’s is very fragile. He has always thought that... you don’t love him enough. If you really remarry, he will definitely be very very sad...”

Bai Qi didn’t know what she was talking about. But the thought of Sileng having a stepmother, and even younger sisters or brothers made her heart ache like its being torn into pieces.

“General Zhou, do consider the matter seriously...”

Bai Qi wanted to say more, but when she lifted her head, the man was there no more. He had already turned around and left.

He looked down on her. She could tell from the way he looked at her. Now that she was weighing in on his private life, of course, he’d be impatient and would want to leave.

However, Bai Qi’s heart became empty. Her eyes felt very hot. She could not explain this sudden urge to cry. Her heart felt sore and painful. She felt very sad and wronged.

Bai Qi looked up and walked forward.

After walking a distance, she suddenly felt something under her feet. She looked down and saw a red rope necklace lying quietly on the cobblestone floor.

Bai Qi recognized it immediately It was what Zhou Yao had been wearing this whole time.

She slowly bent down to pick it up.

The necklace was still warm, it was from his body temperature. He probably dropped it just now. This was an important personal item of his, so she should return it to him immediately. But...

Her fair fingers gently caressed the red rope, then she touched the small embroidered brocade bag pendant. A voice in her heart kept saying, “Bai Qi, open it and take a look. Take just one look, take a look at how beautiful his wife is... Take a look at the legendary Leng Zhiyuan.”

She opened the small brocade bag.

There was a small photo in the small brocade bag. There were two people in the photo, a man and a woman. The Zhou Yao from four years ago was young, handsome, and serious. There was not a trace of a smile on his face. The woman beside him was really beautiful. Her facial features were exquisite and stunning. She made a silly peace sign with her hand and leaned her small head over to Zhou Yao’s side.

She smiled very brightly. Her eyes were filled with the sweetness and happiness of being doted on.

Bai Qi looked at the sticker in a daze. Suddenly, a drop of boiling tear fell on Leng Zhiyuan’s face in the photo. She suddenly burst into tears.

...

A few drops of light rain suddenly fell from the sky, and then the rain got heavier and heavier. Bai Qi walked on the cobblestone path in a daze. At this time, a group of soldiers rushed over, and one of them bumped right into her.

It was Xiao Zhi. Xiao Zhi apologized in a panic, “Sorry, I bumped into you... Oh? Bai Qi, it’s you. It’s raining now. Why are you in the rain? Go back quickly.”

Bai Qi saw that the soldiers seemed to be looking for something anxiously. She asked, “What are you looking for?”

“We’re looking for a red rope necklace. The necklace that the general always wore is missing. Sister-in-law gave it to him. The general is going crazy from anxiety.”

“Oh, really?” Bai Qi smiled.

“Bai Qi, what’s wrong? You look weird.”

“Nothing...” Bai Qi shook her head and walked away.

Xiao Zhi looked at Bai Qi’s back, feeling confused.

Then, a soldier came forward and asked, “Instructor, what are you looking at?”

“I’m looking at Bai Qi. But the Bai Qi I see feels like someone I know...”

“Who?”

Xiao Zhi did not answer. He felt that the current Bai Qi was very much like sister-in-law. But perhaps it was just his illusion that Bai Qi’s figure was so much like sister-in-law’s.

“Let’s hurry up and find the necklace. We don’t want to waste any more time.”

...

Bai Qi did not know where she was going. Her face was pale as she circled the military base. She saw many soldiers along the way. Zhou Yao was looking for the necklace and had probably used the entire team.

She walked to a large tree and saw many people in front of her. Xiao Zhi held a black umbrella for the man in front of him, “General, the rain is getting heavier. Take the umbrella, or you’ll catch a cold. The necklace has to be somewhere in the military base. Don’t worry, as long as it’s here, we’ll find it no matter what.

Zhou Yao’s military uniform was all wet. His hard, jet-black short hair was lying on his forehead due to the rain. At this moment, he no longer looked as fierce as he usually did. Instead, he looked somewhat disheveled.
