Chapter 234: Defeat Green Tea with Green Tea and Fall in Love with the Warlord (13)
The buttons on Li Ziyan's clothes were unbuttoned little by little, revealing a piece of white chest. His hands moved to his waist, and with a slight movement, the piece of cloth on his chest slipped down.
"Zi Yan, I have something else to do. You should get some rest early."
Han Zhiyao lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Li Ziyan again. He quickened his pace and left Li Ziyan's room.
Because his movements were too violent, the door made a loud noise when it was closed. Li Ziyan stopped unbuttoning his clothes, looked at the door, and raised the corners of his mouth in a smile.
It's really, unexpectedly cute.
Outside, Han Zhiyao stood with his back against the door and took a deep breath. The surging emotions within him were not suppressed. In just a minute, sweat had already broken out on his forehead. He raised his hand, ruffled his hair, unbuttoned his collar, and closed his eyes.
The snow-white skin and slowed-down movements kept replaying in his eyes, disturbing his heart which had not yet calmed down.
"Damn it..." Han Zhiyao cursed inwardly, then raised his head and saw Sun Qianying still standing at the door of his room, walking towards him.
"Brother Zhiyao..." Sun Qianying stood not too far from him, her voice soft and a little shy.
Perhaps because Han Zhiyao's emotions had just fluctuated a bit, his expression was not as cold as when he faced Sun Qianying during the day. Instead, it had a hint of popularity and a vague desire, making him look particularly sexy.
"Miss Sun, I think I've made it clear to you that there's no chance of anything happening between you and me, so I hope you won't say anything that might lead to misunderstandings. You can call me Marshal Han or Mr. Han."
No matter how proactive Sun Qianying was after being rejected one after another, she was still a lady from a wealthy family and a girl who cared about her reputation. She could only bite her lip and nodded with a pale face.
"Marshal Han, I actually have something I want to tell you." Sun Qianying took a deep breath, her face flushed. "I know that many people like you must have shown affection for you. I also know that I am just an ordinary one among them, but my feelings for you are pure. I really do..."
"Miss Sun, I'm sorry. It's an honor for me to have your favor, but I'm afraid I'll let you down." Han Zhiyao stood tall, but he didn't look at Sun Qianying's face. "It's getting late. If you and I were alone together, it might cause misunderstandings. I'll go back to my room first."
After saying that, Han Zhiyao turned around and went back to his room, closed the door, and didn't even turn his head back.
If Sun Qianying was just disappointed in the morning, now she was heartbroken. He had just been talking to Li Ziyan so tenderly and intimately, so why was he so cold and indifferent to her?
Biting her lip, Sun Qianying looked at Li Ziyan's tightly closed door, took a deep breath, suppressed the depression in her chest, raised her chin, and returned to the room.
No matter how upright Han Zhiyao was, no matter how cold his attitude was, he was still a man. If a beautiful woman spoke sweetly to him, he would be moved. Even if he had feelings for Li Ziyan now, there would always be a day when he would grow tired of her. As long as she stayed here, everything would be possible.
The three people were in their respective rooms, each thinking about something. Li Ziyan was the one who slept the best, but Han Zhiyao had a beautiful night full of indescribable ambiguous dreams.
With two women living in the house, the old lady naturally couldn't just sit back and relax, not to mention that there was also Li Ziyan, a person she was not familiar with, in the past few years.
The person assigned to watch over the old lady came to her room early in the morning to report that Han Zhiyao had entered Li Ziyan's room last night and had stayed there for a long time before coming out with his collar undone. The old lady frowned and sighed, her expression a cloud of worry.
"Old lady, haven't you always wanted the Marshal to get married? He didn't like her before. This time, I see that Miss Li seems to be in love with the Marshal. Why don't you agree?" The maid next to the old lady was her dowry maid when she was young. It is not an exaggeration to say that the two of them are sisters who have shared life and death together, so it is not an overstep to ask this question.
Old Mrs. Han sighed. "Alas, I do hope he finds a girl, but at least one who's decent. Miss Li is beautiful, but I don't know much about her background. How can I rest assured? Besides, the more beautiful a woman is, the more she thinks. Look at these two. They haven't even gotten married yet, and they're alone in the same room late at night. I'm worried that Zhiyao will be busy with military affairs in the future, and she won't behave herself at home."
"Old lady, the Marshal has been busy with government affairs lately and is not at home during the day. Why don't you go and ask? If the Marshal really likes her, and he brings up the matter of marriage in the future, we will be prepared."
Old Mrs. Han nodded and stood up from the rocking chair. "This is the only way."
When the two came out of the room, three young men were already sitting downstairs.
Li Ziyan had already changed into the dress Han Zhiyao bought for her. It was a long, milky white dress with a doll collar and puff sleeves. Her hair was half down, making her look particularly gentle.
This look was much more proper, which made Old Lady Han quite satisfied.
"You guys are in good spirits, getting up so early." Old Lady Han smiled as she walked over to Han Zhiyao. Looking at his arm, which was almost touching Li Ziyan's, she felt helpless. "You're getting up so early and not eating. What are you waiting for me to do? Aren't you afraid of being hungry?"
"Grandma, how can we eat if you are not here?" Han Zhiyao was quite good at coaxing the old lady. He walked to the other side on his own initiative, and he and Li Ziyan each supported the old lady on one side.
Li Ziyan knew that the old lady still had some distance from him, so he naturally knew his limits and took a half step back, half lowering his head.
Several people sat at the dining table, just like yesterday. Han Zhiyao took care of Li Ziyan while picking up food for him and coaxing the old lady to be happy. His look was obviously pointing out the old lady and supporting Li Ziyan. The old lady was helpless and could not say anything.
Sun Qianying wanted to interrupt, but she couldn't find a chance. Until Han Zhiyao finished his meal and was about to go to the military headquarters, she still couldn't say a word. She could only stand at the door from a distance, watching Li Ziyan send Han Zhiyao to the car, and the two of them said goodbye reluctantly.
Her eyes dimmed a little, and she returned to the old lady. Smiling, she poured her a cup of tea and said, "Sister Ziyan and Brother Zhiyao have such a good relationship. It would be great if I could get along with them."
"Hahaha, Qianying actually said some stupid things. With such a likable personality, you can naturally get along with them."
"Really?" Sun Qianying smiled, looking a little lonely. "Maybe I'm too stupid. Brother Zhiyao doesn't even want to talk to me."
