If Zuo Yue continued to listen, her heart was about to jump out!
Finally, after Xu Yuan explained some of her habits and some small matters, she left in a hurry because she received a call from Los Angeles.
Zuo Yue let out a long sigh when she heard Xu Yuan walk out and the office door close again.
My mother is finally gone!
After confirming that Xu Yuan had walked far away, Zuo Yue was about to stand up, but just as she was about to move, she felt her knees ache. Her legs had already gone numb from kneeling down there. She had changed from a squatting position to a kneeling position to make it easier to hide, but now her legs were so sore that she could not stand up smoothly.
She gritted her teeth and reached out to rub around her knees, wanting to relieve herself before getting up.
[Unauthorized] Xu Chengfengâs voice suddenly sounded above her head. His voice was cold and indifferent.
Zuo Yue heard him but ignored him.
She rubbed her knees and muttered,ââWho wants you to coax me and feed me candy every day, you egomaniacâ¦â
âWhat did you say?â The manâs voice suddenly lowered.
Zuo Yue felt a chill down her spine and instinctively stood up from under the desk.ââI, I didnât say anything!â
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly moved her hand away from her knee and stood up to leave the dangerous area near him. However, as soon as she stood up, she stumbled forward because of the sharp pain and numbness in her knee.
âOh!â
Zuo Yueâs face smashed into the manâs chest. Her hands instinctively grabbed forward and seemed to accidentally grab the base of his thighâ¦From the feel of it, it should be a long time ago. Her palm was pressed against his thigh, and the back of her hand was almost pressed against his thighâ¦
In her trance, she seemed to hear the manâs almost inaudible sigh. However, the sigh was definitely not because of her helpless actions, but because he felt very regretful for taking over such a big trouble.
Zuo Yue did not wait for him to speak and quickly got up and retreated from his embrace. She did not have time to look at his shirt that was crumpled by her. Her hand quickly moved away from the hot heat between his legs. She even shook her hand as she retreated, her face full of embarrassment.
It was not until she retreated to the sofa at the base of the wall that she staggered and sat down.
What a ghost!
Every time she saw this man, something would happen!
Besides, did she have a special affinity with the underlings of the underbelly? It had been less than twenty-four hours since last night, and he had already touched her so intimately with his handsâ¦
Zuo Yue could not help but continue to wave her hands.
Xu Chengfeng glanced at her hand movement indifferently. Finally, he stopped sitting quietly and stood up suddenly.
Although he did not walk over, he had just stood up when the oppressive feeling of black clouds pressing down on the city instantly invaded him. Zuo Yue hurriedly stopped her actions and looked at him awkwardly. Only then did she remember to explain,âMy legs were numb just now, so I couldnât stand properly. I didnât do it on purposeâ¦â
Xu Chengfeng raised his hand and casually tugged at the shirt that had a slight crease on it. Fortunately, the quality of the shirt was high, and the slight crease was instantly smoothed out. However, it was obvious that Xu Chengfeng did not intend to say anything more about her collision just now. He only looked at her leg again and said,âCan we leave now?â
She didnât expect him to speak to her so calmly.
Zuo Yue heaved a sigh of relief.
He probably still treated himself as her elder and didnât want to argue with her.
After Zuo Yue massed her legs, she stood up and walked two steps in front of the sofa. Then, she said,ââAlright, we can go now.â
âYou heard what your mother said just now. Sheâs flying back to Los Angeles this afternoon.â
âYes, I heard itâ¦ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhen do you plan to move your luggage?â
Zuo Yue paused for a moment and knew that everything was set in stone. Moreover, on account of Xu Chengfeng not telling her mother about her hiding here, although she still felt that this uncle of hers did not match her birth characters and that nothing good would happen once she met him, she more or less dispelled her resistance on account of his mercy just now.
âTonight or tomorrowâ¦â
âI have to go to the technology factory in the suburbs of Boston tomorrow. I donât have time. Iâll move tonight.â
âOh, tonight then.â As Zuo Yue spoke, she felt that the scene just now was still a little awkward. She raised her hand and pushed the hair on her cheek behind her ear, revealing her fair and cute ears. At the same time, she turned to look at Xu Chengfeng who was looking at her. After thinking for a while, she said,âThat, Xuâ¦â
As soon as she met his cold gaze, Zuo Yueâs heart skipped a beat. She paused for a moment before changing her words.âLittle, little uncleâ¦â
âIf you have anything to say, just say it directly.â
âSince my mother has entrusted me to you now, from the perspective of us being family, for the sake of my safety in the next few years of studying in Boston, can you tell me, other than your identity as the president of the HR Group, what else do you haveâ¦Identityâ¦â
Zuo Yueâs tone was a little stuttering. She tried her best not to offend him. After all, her mother had already passed away. She was basically under someone elseâs roof now. No matter how unconvinced she was, she at least knew how to restrain herself on the surface.
âWhat kind of answer do you want?â Xu Chengfeng said calmly.
âI want to hear the truth. You were shot a month ago. Itâs obvious that youâve just recovered from your injury. A gunshot wound is not an ordinary injury. I should know who my mother handed me toâ¦â
As Zuo Yue spoke, she placed her hands in front of her and twisted them together.âAnd I saw your men pointing guns at me last timeâ¦â
âLast time? Since you were suspicious, why didnât you call the police after you got out of the car?â
Zuo Yueâs mouth twitched.â I didnât know if you were a good person or a bad person at that time. Besides threatening me, your men didnât do anything to me. They even kindly sent me to the bus station so that I could take a ride back instead of leaving me in the wilderness. I felt that you guys didnât seem like bad people, so I didnât think of calling the police at that time.â
âWhat kind of person I am is what you see in front of you. As for more, thereâs no need to tell you.âXu Chengfeng said,â Since youâre my niece, at least I wonât hurt you. Iâll even protect you. The premise is that you have to be obedient and not cause trouble for me everywhere.ââ
Was this considered a counterattack?
She hadnât even gotten anything out of him yet, and he was already restricting her.
