On the way back to Los Angeles, Xu Chengfeng closed his eyes most of the time and did not talk much, perhaps because he had taken medicine.
In the beginning, Zuo Yue asked him a lot of questions, and he could still respond a little. After an hour, Xu Chengfengâs response gradually decreased.
Zuo Yue knew that taking the cold medicine would make people sleepy, so she did not continue to talk to Xu Chengfeng. When she felt that he was about to fall asleep, she asked the driver for a thin blanket and gently covered him.
Xu Chengfeng did not move. Zuo Yue was also very happy to take care of him when he was sick. She did not notice anything before, but now that she saw him with his eyes closed, he did not look as cold and distant as usual. However, at the same time that she could rarely observe him up close, she did see that his lips were slightly pale. He was indeed sick.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Zuo Yue supported her chin with one hand and tilted her head to look at Xu Chengfeng sleeping.
âMiss Zuo.â The man in the driverâs seat suddenly spoke.
âShh!â Zuo Yue turned around and glared at him. At the same time, she raised her hand to her mouth and made a silent gesture.
The man in the driverâs seat sighed and laughed.â No matter if we make a sound or not, Boss wonât really fall into a deep sleep. Heâs just pretending to rest for a while. Heâs not really asleep.ââ
Zuo Yue was stunned for a moment. She thought that he was asleep just now and even leaned close to see if there were any pores on his face. He did not even move!
âWhy is he so alert?â She couldnât help but ask emotionally.
The man chuckled.â I think that Miss Zuo should know that his identity is not simple after she helped our BOSS stop the bleeding.â
âAit, shut up.â Suddenly, Xu Chengfengâs cold voice sounded.
The man called â Ainte â immediately shut up. He threw a look at Zuo Yue through the rearview mirror as if to say,â See, I told you Boss wasnât really asleep.â
Zuo Yue also turned her eyes to look at Xu Chengfeng. Although he had just opened his mouth, he still had his eyes closed. He did not intend to participate in their conversation, but he ended it.
Anyway, she already knew that he was related to ***, so what was there to hide? Why didnât you let them talk?
Zuo Yue pursed her lips and suddenly said,ââYour name is Ayat? How was the gunshot wound on his abdomen dealt with? Didnât you go to the hospital in the end? However, when I saw him again a month later, I felt that he was recovering very quickly. It hasnât even been two months yet.â
Ayt smiled.â Of course he went to the hospital. But he went to a private hospital that we are familiar with. Donât worry, the injury isnât that serious. Our BOSSâ¦â
Suddenly, Ainte stopped talking. Instead, he restrained his expression and voice and focused on driving.
Zuo Yue was stunned. She did not understand why he suddenly stopped talking. She subconsciously looked up at the rearview mirror and saw that Xu Chengfeng had opened his eyes. Although he was still leaning on the leather chair behind him, his eyes were cold and calm.
She immediately turned to look at him. Donât you feel a little sick?â
Xu Chengfeng looked at her indifferently again.ââDidnât I warn you to focus on your studies in Boston and not ask too much about me?â
Zuo Yue immediately looked innocent.â I didnât ask. It was Ainte who said it himself!ââ
Ainte immediately rolled his eyes at the rearview mirror.âBoss, your nieceâs ability to lie through her teeth is better than mine.â
Xu Chengfeng did not look at him. He suddenly got up and raised his hand to remove the white fever patch on his head.
Zuo Yue quickly reached out to hold him down and pulled his hand down even harder. She held his hand tightly and said,âDonât take it off! Youâre still sick! His body was still a little hot! This thing was really effective!â
Xu Chengfeng looked at her sideways.â
Zuo Yue was stunned for a moment. It was only then that she noticed that in order to hold him down firmly, she was pressing down on his hand with one hand while the other hand was already hooked around his neck. She was practically hugging him forcefully. Half of her body was also tightly pressed into his embrace.
Zuo Yue gently bit her lips and did not retreat immediately. Instead, she blinked and looked at Xu Chengfeng, whose eyes suddenly revealed some coldness. She whispered,ââThen you must promise to listen to me obediently and not take off the antipyretic plaster.â
Xu Chengfeng did not say anything. He only looked at her coldly and then looked at the place where she was tightly pressed against his chest. The softness of the girlâs chest was tightly pressed against his chest, and the fragrance of the girlâs body was constantly entering his nose.
Seeing that Xu Chengfengâs expression was getting colder and colder, Zuo Yue was about to speak when she suddenly heard him say,ââDonât forget that youâre no longer a child.â
Although it was just a reminder, Zuo Yue was instantly stunned. She seemed to understand what he was reminding her about and quickly stepped back. However, she inexplicably felt awkward and sour in her heart.
At the same time, Xu Chengfeng took off the fever patch on his head.
Seeing his actions, Zuo Yue did not say anything else. Instead, she placed her hands on her thighs. Her fingers were intertwined, and her knuckles were white. It looked like they were about to be tied into a dead knot.
She turned her head, and her eyes were inexplicably red. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little sour. She was clearly not the kind of girl who liked to cry, but her relationship with her uncle had clearly improved so much.
However, the way he had distanced himself from her and the indifference he had shown towards her concern made her nose turn sour and her eyes turn red.
âAit, stop at the service station in front.âXu Chengfengâs voice sounded again.
Zuo Yue quickly turned her head to look at him.â
â Boss?â Ainte was also stunned.â Boss?ââ
When she turned around, Xu Chengfeng saw that her eyes had turned red. He was about to push away the thin blanket on his body, but he paused for a moment. Then, he quietly put the blanket aside and did not look at her eyes again. Instead, he said calmly,âYou forced me to drink a whole glass of water before we set off. Iâll get out of the car and go to the service station to find a bathroom. Is there a problem?â
â..âZuo Yueâs eyes instantly turned from red to red. She hurriedly raised her hand to tuck the hair on her cheek behind her ear.âNo, no problemâ¦â
Xu Chengfengâs gaze lingered on her small head that turned away awkwardly for two seconds, but Ait was laughing secretly in front of him.
âWhat are you laughing at?â Xu Chengfeng glanced at him coldly.â
Ainte laughed as he parked the car at the service area. After parking the car, he smiled and said,âNo, nothing. I just think that your niece is quite cuteâ¦â
