Billionaire's One Night Stand

Chapter 653

Ch. 653 / 1,423 Mar 04, 2026

Commander found that he could no longer speak.

"I've never wanted to say that." Mrs. Zhan held her hands tightly. "Zhan has never liked to see me and my daughter come to the house. She's a beautiful girl. Every time she grows up, she plays the life card that her mother needs to care about when she dies.... As a father, you agree with her every time?"

Beside him, Zhan Mei heard him. "Dad, don't listen to her. She wants to provoke our father and daughter!"

"Shut up!" Commander Commander Zhan said coldly. "She's your mother."

Zhan Mei immediately became silent.

She bit her lip tightly.

Zhan ignored Zhan Mei and said to Commander Zhan, "Don't forget, Zoya lost her father since she was a child. Did she ever think of getting special treatment?"

"It's my fault." Commander Zhan looked at Zhan Mei and knew that he had indulged his daughter too much.

"Not only will you give Zoya an explanation tonight, but you must also give me an explanation." Mrs. Zhan, who was wearing a peacock green cheongsam, left Commander Zhan's study solemnly after finishing her words.

It was the first time that Mrs. Zhan had told Commander Zhan about Zhan's charm, and she asked him to look into it.

After Mrs. Zhan left, Commander Zhan walked up to Zhan Mei.

"No, Dad." Zhan Mei shook her head. "I didn't. They wronged me..."

Her crying look was exactly the same as that of her deceased mother, which made people feel sorry for her.

Every time he looked at Zhan Mei, Commander Zhan's hardened heart would soften and he would think of her dead mother.

As a result, Zhan mei grew up with his indulgence and loveliness. She was beautiful, quiet, intelligent, and outstanding. But she also had a heavy desire for gains and was extremely competitive...

"You don't have one?" Commander Zhan looked at his daughter. "If you don't have one, why don't you call the police? Have them check whether your fingerprints are on the computer at the backstage of the banquet hall, and see if you have the computer over there?"

Zhan Mei's eyes were trembling.

Seeing Zhan Mei's hesitation, Commander Zhan's face fell immediately.

He hoped to hear her say yes, but he waited for half a minute, and Zhan Mei also did not agree.

As a Commander, he had heard from countless people. If he couldn't see through this little bit of expression, he didn't need to lead the troops.

-It was done by Zhan Mei.

He could see through the pain in his heart.

Zhan Mei licked her lips and opened her mouth again. "Dad, do you really hope that Zoya and her mother can make things difficult for me?"

"Can I take what you just said as admitting it?" Commander Zhan asked.

"..." Zhan Mei bit her lips, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Do you know? You nearly ruined the marriage between the Ragib and Zhan families!" Commander Zhan suddenly roared, with all his anger. "You are jealous that you don't like her anymore. How can you make fun of the Ragib family's future? Do you know that this is a military marriage under the center of the family? Do you know that something almost happened!"

Zhan Mei suddenly raised her head. "I know, I always know! But the one who was going to marry Ragib was me! It was me!"

"But Ragib doesn't like you. He likes Zoya!" Commander Zhan said angrily, "Why are you not willing to accept this fact? Are you going to fight with her? You have so many suitors. Why do you have to fight with Zoya for Ragib?"

"Because her mother took away my father!" Zhan Mei burst into tears. "If her mother hadn't appeared, you wouldn't have neglected my mother that year, and my mother wouldn't have died in the hospital!"

She only had this father, and she could not hate this father of hers. All she could do was to shift her hatred to Zoya and Mrs. Zhan.

Commander Zhan listened to the words of his daughter, who had always been sensible, and his face darkened. After a long time, he said, "I don't know. You want to..."

Zhan Mei's face was covered with tears. "Do you think I'm willing to call her mom? I don't want to call that woman at all. I want them to leave!"

"Shut up!" Commander Zhan said, "Zhan's mother treated you well..."

"I don't want her to be good to me."

"When you were a child, you were sick and had a fever. It was she who held you, and she was caring about you."

"She doesn't need to care about me. She and Zhan Mei just want to occupy my home and my father..."

For a long time, Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander was overcome with grief. "She gave you mother's love, but what you return her is hate, and that is to neglect and teach you."

Zhan Mei sobbed silently, and her white face was red with tears. She sat on the ground and said, "I hate them. One day when they live in this house, I will think of my dead mother."

"Shut up," Commander Zhan snapped. "Zoya's father is dead. Why hasn't she become like you?"

"Don't compare me to Zoya!" Zhan Mei suddenly shouted, "She is not the daughter of the Zhan family, nor is she my sister! I thought she would never come back after she left the studio five years ago, but now she is back, and she took away Ragib, which I like!"

Commander-in-Chief stood in front of her and looked at her with fear. "So... do you want to hire someone to kill her?"

The air was cold.

Silence fell upon them.

Zhan Mei's eyes also freeze. However, her tears have been flowing down her cheeks.

"Ragib told me his doubts about you before you came over." There was a hint of sadness on Commander Zhan's stiff face. "Meimei, he didn't believe that you would let bygones be bygones. So he came over and told me just now. But you didn't expect that."

"No..." Zhan Mei widened her eyes sharply. "They have no evidence at all. I didn't send anyone to kill her."

"I'm still saying it." Commander Commander Zhan said, said that you didn't hire anyone to kill Zoya. So, do you agree with me and I'll send someone to investigate this matter?"

Zhan mei's seductive eyes stopped once again.

The sobs immediately stopped.

Commander once again got the answer that he didn't want from her reaction.

"I can't imagine." He closed his eyes and sighed sadly. "As the commander of the Central Military Region, led millions of soldiers, I only have the peace of my country and my protection society in the world. But my daughter, as an excellent military doctor, colluded with criminals to kill her sister..."

Zhan Mei suddenly crawled over and pulled his sleeve, pleading, "No, dad, I am your daughter. Dad, you can't let people investigate me!"

"You're putting your father in jail!" Commander Zhan suddenly opened his eyes and shouted coldly, "Do you know that if you're found to be colluding with criminals and trying to kill, you'll have to go to the military court? And I'll be implicated in your father's death, and it's very likely that the Central Army will remove you from the position of commander!"

"Dad, I just hate Zoya too much!"

"If you hate her, can you kill her?" Commander Zhan shouted, "If you hate her, can you joke about the marriage between my family and the Ragib Family? You are my daughter. How can you be so vicious? How can you ignore the overall situation?"

"Am I as vicious as her Zoya?" Zhan Mei raised her plastered hand and pointed at her own face. "Look at how badly she beat me. How dare she say that I fell on the ground?

She's just pretending to be a good person in front of you guys, secretly trying to play tricks on you! She's just a despicable woman!"

"You released Feng photo in front of her and tried to mess up tonight's engagement..." Commander Zhan shouted. "If she gives you a beating, this matter will be over, that's great."

"No, Dad, you have to vent your anger on me!"

"You still want to vent your anger?" Commander Zhan was so angry that he couldn't believe it. "Ragib didn't expose the fact that you hired someone to kill Zoya for my sake. You should be glad that you didn't disrupt his engagement with Zoya tonight. Otherwise, Ragib would be the first person who wouldn't let you go! If anything happened to this engagement, you would also harm the Zhan family!"

It seemed that he didn't want to face his daughter who made him sad, so he left the study with heavy steps.

Lieutenant Colonel was waiting for him outside. "Commander..."

"Inform the military region to take off Zhan mei's rank and cancel her position starting tomorrow," Commander Zhan said.

"... Yes, Your Highness."

Lieutenant Colonel executed the military order.

In the study room, Zhan Mei looked at Commander Zhan's back with tears in her eyes. "No, dad, you can't do this to me. I am your own daughter. Do you remember my dead mother? You can't do this to me..."

On the night of the marriage engagement between the Zhan and Ragib families, the stars shone brightly in the first half of the night, while the latter half of the night was soul- stirring.

"I see," Roland said.

The atmosphere in the room was ambiguous and ambiguous.

Ragib brought the medicine from the Zhan family's servant and rubbed it on Zoya's cheek wound bit by bit. It was the place where she had been scratched by Zhan Mei.

The strength on Ragib's fingers was very light. Zoya sat at the edge of the bed.

He dragged a single chair in front of her and caressed the red mark on her face bit by bit as if he was caressing her, although the injury was not very serious...

However, the kiss was so sweet that it looked like sparks were ignited, and the warm temperature was transmitted through his fingers.

"Does it still hurt?"

Ragib gazed seductively into Zoya's eyes from a close distance.

His breath was almost wafting out of her nose.

The intense and somewhat luxurious male hormones stirred up the atmosphere and touched the heartstrings of her heart.

"No..." Zoya waved her eyelashes and lowered her head. "I'm fine."

She was not the kind of person who couldn't bear the pain.

Besides, it was just a scratch. She had never shouted out that it was a minor injury that was not serious enough to be mentioned.

"You, don't you sympathize with Zhan Mei?" Zoya asked him, "You heard me beating her in her room at that time, and you saw my terrible side. Are you disappointed with me now?"

Ragib's fingers, which were resting on her cheeks, paused for a moment as he looked at her.

"Or..." Zoya wanted to know how he thought of her. "You know I'm not as kind as you think. Do you regret dating me, making me your girlfriend, and getting engaged to me?"

Since Ragib would take a fancy to her, then there must be something that attracted him more or less.

"It's not a coincidence." Ragib said.

"..." Zoya's heart missed a beat.

"I'm not a good person either." On Ragib's handsome face, his black eyes were as mesmerizing and mesmerizing as the night sky.

"So we are a perfect match." Ragib's eyes moved from her eyes to her lips. "Where is your father?"

As Zoya looked at her, her eyes froze for a moment.

She was surprised by Ragib's words.

Before she was familiar with him, she only felt that this romantic man was very bad, but it seemed that after that Ragib would always give her an unexpected impression.

"Really?" Zoya lowered her head, with a smile on her lips. "Well, indeed, I shouldn't worry about it. You, Ragib, have never been a good person. Your behavior may be worse than mine."

Yes, if someone provoked him, it was estimated that his means would be more terrible.

"Just think about it like that." Ragib leaned back. Even if he was wearing a suit, his tall, strong body could not hide his sexiness and elegance. "What did you say just now? I sympathize with her? I sympathize with a woman who tried to make me collapse on the spot and almost mess up my wedding?"

"But..." Zoya opened her mouth and said, "After I left, didn't you go to see Zhan Mei?"

At that time, when she was away from the room, Ragib did not leave with her. Hence, she thought that Ragib might have gone in to comfort her by beating up Zhan Mei.

"Therefore, did you think that I went to comfort her?" Ragib laughed.

"Don't tell me that's not it?"

"My fiancee was shocked on the spot. Instead of coming to comfort her, I went to comfort a sister-in-law who tried to seduce me?" Ragib's bright smile appeared on his face. "Aren't you thinking too much?"

Seeing Ragib's smile, Zoya's heart momentarily sped up. Ragib was already very handsome. Coupled with the fact that he loved to smile, he became even more charming.

He was deep and dazzling.

At this moment, Zoya seemed to know why women loved Ragib so much!

Zoya ignored his smile and looked at his eyes. She was afraid that she would get lost. "What did you say to her?"

"What did you say?" Ragib approached her bit by bit and looked into Zoya's eyes. "Tell her some warning and remind her not to complain about you to Commander Zhan. If she does, I will tell Commander Zhan something unfavorable to her."

Ragib did not tell Zoya. He suspected that she was trying to kill her because so many things had happened during tonight's engagement ceremony.

Zoya looked at Ragib's serious eyes. "It's useless. When she heard you threaten her, she will think that it will do me no good. But she is not afraid, because she is the biological daughter of the Zhan family... She believes that my father will not do anything to her."

"So, we are a perfect match." Ragib smiled evilly. "At least in terms of the way of thinking, they are very consistent with each other."

"What is it?"

"Before came over, I already told Commander Zhan my doubts about Zhan mei. Ragib said, "If she were to complain to Commander Zhan at this moment, then she would have bumped into his gun."

It had been a hundred years since a woman wanted to compete with Ragib.

He was in the upper class, playing with power in the men's group. A woman's little thought could not do anything to him.

Zoya thought Ragib had told Commander Zhan about the fact that he suspected that Zhan Mei had sent Feng photo to the electronic screen. For a moment, she blinked in surprise.

"I see." Zoya looked at him. "How did you find it so quickly? And how did you find the evidence?"

"..." Ragib merely smiled. "I'm suspicious, but I'm sure I can find evidence. However, for the sake of my future military commander, I feel that I owe you something, so I'm being a little more courteous to you. I've decided to give him some face this time. You've already taught Zhan Mei a lesson. Whether or not you want to investigate, I'll let Commander Zhan know what to do."

Zoya nodded. "Yes, that's fine too."

Ragib was also surprised that he would be so considerate towards her!

"So you don't have to worry about what will happen next." Ragib said, "I can guarantee you. Now Zhan mei is just telling Commander Zhan that you have beaten her, and he won't ask you anything. After all, it is Zhan mei's fault first."

"That's right."

Zoya nodded.

Looking at Ragib's tall figure in front of her, she suddenly felt that this man was actually very safe.

She used to think that he was bad. When he was an enemy, he would make people dizzy.

But once he stood on her side, she felt that he was extremely reliable.

Thinking of this, Zoya suddenly felt that there was something soft in her heart...

"Why, do you suddenly feel that your fiancé is very handsome?" Ragib saw the emotion in Zoya's eyes. He was very familiar with the woman's eyes. He smiled and said, "You regret that you didn't get to know me earlier, did you? Or did you not try to make a good relationship with me earlier?"

"Screw you." Zoya looked away quietly. "I've never seen anyone as arrogant as you... But, thank you."

"Oh, really?" Ragib's tall and powerful spirit suddenly attacked. His face was in front of her and he looked into her eyes. "In fact, you have fallen in love with me. Why don't you admit it?"

Zoya opened her eyes and said, "I want to ask you something."

"Say it."

"Tonight, on the engagement." Zoya slowly met his passionate eyes. "Are you telling the truth? In the future, will you come to marry me in military uniform one day?"

Ragib was stunned.

The air stopped, and the atmosphere was quiet and sticky.

It seemed that she didn't expect Zoya, who didn't even want to be engaged to him, to suddenly ask him this question and if he would marry her.

Seeing Ragib not laughing, Zoya was stunned for a moment and realized that her question was too direct. She immediately said sheepishly, "Don't worry, I'll ask. It's just that when heard you say that, was too shocked."

Ragib suddenly grabbed her chin and kissed her on the lips!

"Oh, I see..."

Zoya's eyes were wide open. Her heart was beating so fast that it didn't even have a rhythm.

But smelling Ragib's breath, she couldn't push him away.

Perhaps it was because she thought of their engagement, or perhaps it was because of what he had said just now, and what he had done for her...

Once again, she was moved by the beating.

She slowly raised her hand and stroked Ragib's face, lowering her eyes to respond to his kiss.

Their lips tangled and their breath intertwined, which made their feelings in their hearts burn up. A kind of impulse to want each other filled their hearts at the moment. Zoya suddenly felt that Ragib's breathing became heavier, but it seemed that he didn't proceed to the next step.

He touched her body with his hand, trying to feel her and waiting for her permission.

The servant knocked on the door outside. "Colonel, General wants you to come over."

The hot kiss and each other's lips had to be separated.

Ragib held Zoya's face. His gaze was a little scary as he said, "I hate it the most. When kissed you, the damnable people would come and disturb me."

Zoya looked in the direction of the door and avoided his eyes. "It doesn't matter. Generaland Mrs. General came from City today. They live in the Zhan family tonight. You should go over and ask them if they don't want to live here."

After all, her parents were here. How could she not go and have a look?

"..." Ragib continued to hold her face and placed a hand on her nape. He was unwilling to leave her.

Zoya coughed a little embarrassedly and said, "You can... come and see me later."

Hearing her words, Ragib seemed to have misunderstood something. Suddenly, his eyes moved and lit up. "Okay." He stood up immediately. "I'll go there first."

Zoya nodded and watched Ragib leave her room in a hurry.

Looking at the quiet room, Zoya sighed gently. She picked up the bottle and looked at it.

Thinking back to the situation just now, she was very shocked. She had always wanted to keep a distance from Ragib... but from the looks of it now, she might have fallen for him.

At that time, Zoya took a shower and came out.

Chloe suddenly called.

Zoya saw the caller ID on the phone screen from a few meters away and rushed to pick up the phone at lightning speed.

"Hey, hey, is it Chloe?" She roared excitedly.

"It must be me." Chloe's voice came over the phone as expected. "Didn't I say it yesterday and call you tonight? Did you forget?"

"Damn, who has forgotten? I thought you hadn't forgotten." Zoya could not believe her eyes when she received the phone call from Chloe on the honeymoon. "After all, you are different from Aman when he is abroad. You don't have time to make a phone call. You often turn off your phone."

"Ah, it's hard to say now. I'll tell you when I get back." Chloe said, "You're getting engaged today, aren't you?"

"Yeah, I've told you on Whatsapp."

"Congratulations, my best friend has finally been single, haha." Chloe laughed excitedly and happily, which made her seem very happy. "Do you know, I am afraid that you will not be in love for your whole life and become single. Then I don't know what to do with you."

"Hello? What's the big deal?" Zoya frowned. Even her friends were worried about her.

"It's true!" Chloe said, "Do you know that when heard that you were getting engaged, I was in the mood of a mother-in- law who looked at the little sparrow and finally spread her wings and flew high? Do you think I'm easy to contact Ragib?"

Zoya frowned. "What did you say?"

'Chloe seemed to realize that she had spilled the beans. She changed the subject and said, "Oh, mean, in order for you to find the true Emperor, I pray every day. It's not easy for me at all."

However, Zoya had indeed missed something just now, such as what she had said to let her contact Ragib.

"So, have you finished your engagement with Ragib at this time?" Chloe said, "To be on time, it's now 11 pm in the capital. The banquet is usually held in the evening, and it should be over now."

"Yes, it's over." Zoya could not wipe her hair. "I was taking a shower."

"Oh oh, did it go well?"

"Mm, it's good." Zoya nodded and recalled the photo of the dragon on the electronic screen. She paused for a moment and said, "Although there was a small accident on the way, it didn't affect anything. Our engagement was very smooth."

"That's good!" Chloe said excitedly,

"After all, you didn't dare to go back to the Zhan family before. I've been worried about whether it will go well or not. It seems that I worry too much. It's good that it went smoothly, hahaha!"

"Well, thank you."

Hearing Chloe's voice, Zoya was in a good mood.

"I can't go to your engagement. It's a pity!" Chloe cried with bitter hatred. "You must be very beautiful tonight. I don't care. Take a picture for you. I want to see how beautiful you are when you get engaged!"

"Okay." Zoya smiled. "I just took a shower. I'll take a picture of you later and present it to you."

"Well, take a few more pictures, from different angles." Chloe was happy and sad. "F*ck, I'm so sad. I've been in City for so long, but you haven't had a boyfriend. Once leave, you are engaged. I've missed everything!"

"This..." Zoya was embarrassed. "I can't control it. A lot of things have happened recently. Anyway, it was beyond my imagination that I would get engaged to Ragib. I used to think that I wouldn't fall in love with a man like him and he wouldn't fall in love with me either."

"So now, you are in love with each other?" Chloe asked again, "Tell me quickly, right?"

Zoya coughed a little unnaturally. "At least... we have a good impression of each other. Our engagement is a military marriage."

"Isn't that better? It's better to be happy than happy! Anyway, you like each other."

Zoya took a deep breath.

That was hard for her to say. In fact, she had resisted before, but in the end, she was moved by Ragib. In the end, she compromised.

"By the way, I saw the email and Whatsapp sent by you," Chloe said and her voice became gentle, "Zoya, don't think it's appropriate for you to be with Ragib. The relationship between you and him is only mutual consent. It has nothing to do with your identity and family background."

Zoya sat down in front of the dressing table and looked at herself in the mirror with a sigh. "But don't you think that Ragib and I... develop too fast?"

"Quick?" Chloe laughed. "I met Aman for two days before we got married."

"What the f**k!"

Zoya's eyebrows twitched.

She shouldn't have asked this happy little woman who could save the marriage.
