Chapter 1140: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (225)

Xu Chengfeng’s handsome eyebrows moved slightly.”

“My mom called. What should I do? What should I say? Does she know?”

Xu Chengfeng glanced at her phone.””I’ll do what I have to do. I’ll let her know about my relationship with the Xu family when the time is right.”

“So I can’t tell my mom now, right?”

Xu Chengfeng only raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he could do whatever she wanted.

Was he going to leave her alone after telling her the truth?

She might as well not know anything.

Zuo Yue looked at her phone again. If she didn’t answer it, her mother would probably be worried. She could only pat her chest that was choked and uncomfortable. She got up and picked up her phone to answer the call.

As soon as he picked up, Xu Yuan’s voice came through.”Why did you take so long to answer the phone? Working overtime?”

“No, just now…I’m having dinner with my friends, so I didn’t hear you.” Zuo Yue rubbed her chest after saying one sentence.

“Are you having dinner with your new colleagues? What time is it now? At two in the morning, you were eating with your colleagues?”

Zuo Yue immediately felt like slapping herself to death.

How could he have forgotten the crucial point of time!

“I mean, I’m out eating and drinking with my colleagues and friends. It’s not just eating. There must be some other entertainment activities…”

Xu Yuan was silent for a moment before saying,””I heard that your uncle has recently returned to Boston and seems to have some negotiations with the company you are currently interning at.”

Zuo Yue’s heart skipped a beat.

She knew that her mother must have heard something when she called so late at night.

She suddenly turned around and looked behind her. Xu Chengfeng obviously heard the voice coming from her phone, but he still looked at her calmly and did not say anything.

Looking into his calm eyes, Zuo Yue suddenly seemed to have thought of something. After hesitating for a while, she turned around and walked to the balcony. She pushed open the French windows and walked up to the balcony. Only then did she start to find various reasons to talk to her mother.

Otherwise, she would feel uncomfortable lying to Xu Chengfeng.

She finally found an excuse to say that it was a colleague’s birthday, which was why she was out so late. She also said that she knew Xu Chengfeng was back, but she did not meet him face to face. It was not until Xu Yuan gave her a few more instructions that she must not go to see Xu Chengfeng again. After a few twists and turns, she finally hung up the phone.

Zuo Yue stood on the balcony with her phone in her hand for a while before she turned around and returned to the dining table.

She had already eaten a lot just now, so she didn’t feel hungry anymore. She sat back down but didn’t pick up the cutlery. Instead, she put down her phone and said,”The situation with the Xu family is so complicated now. Shouldn’t you not let the Xu family and the Xu Corporation know about your matter for the time being?”

Xu Chengfeng’s eyes were clear and he seemed to be pleased that she had been enlightened so quickly. At the same time, he said softly,”Indeed, if the Xu family didn’t have so many complicated problems, your mother wouldn’t have to hide anything.”

“So even if you and I might really not be related by blood, you have to pretend first. After all, the Xu family has no other bloodline to inherit. If your background is exposed, the Xu Corporation will definitely be in chaos, and the Xu family’s foundation might collapse overnight, right?”

Xu Chengfeng did not answer, but it was obvious that he had already tacitly agreed.

No wonder he didn’t say it out loud.

It seemed that the Xu family could only think of their next move after the troublemakers in the Xu Corporation were eliminated and their foundation was stabilized.

“So your real identity is the child of the Chinese couple in Russia? If she wasn’t mistaken, then there wouldn’t be any other complicated relationship, right?”

Xu Chengfeng’s eyes were calm.” My parents are no longer alive. As long as it has nothing to do with the Xu family, my true identity is no longer important. I am only Xu Chengfeng, not someone’s son.”

“That’s true. You’re the CEO of the HR Group. You have your own business and reputation. I don’t think you’ll want to get involved with any of them as your background.”After Zuo Yue muttered a few words, she suddenly felt that the two of them seemed to have gone off topic.

She suddenly became serious again and said,”Then you couldn’t have just treated me like that before…”

Recalling what happened in the afternoon, she couldn’t say it out loud, but her eyes were still filled with obvious resentment.”I didn’t say that even if we’re not related by blood, I’ll definitely do something with you now. Xu Chengfeng, don’t you think you’ve gone too far?”

“Too much?” Xu Chengfeng smiled faintly and said calmly,””Ask yourself, as a man who had to take a cold shower every time he thought of you for three years in a row, he could choose to avoid you because of your attitude. He could respect your current choice and leave. However, since you haven’t let go of your feelings from back then, if I were to wait for you to take the initiative like before, it would probably be too late.”

Zuo Yue’s mouth twitched.” Who says I haven’t let go? I’ve clearly let go.””

Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows.” You’ve been drinking alone for the past three years, and you’ve learned to smoke?””

“..”

“You let go because you heard that I was sick and rushed to the villa to look for me? After taking care of her for a night, she ran over again the next day?”

“..”

Zuo Yue suddenly stood up and turned to leave.

If she continued to stay in front of her, she would be buried in the ground.

Zuo Yue was about to turn around and go back to the bedroom when Xu Chengfeng glanced at her. He did not move at first, but when she really moved away, he suddenly stood up and grabbed her. She was suddenly pulled into his arms, and as soon as she got close, her face turned red. That completely unfamiliar feeling, as if she was flirting with a man she used to like, that feeling of being in a normal relationship baptized all her nerves.

She only lowered her eyes for a moment before pushing him away.”Give me some time to digest the matter of blood relations. There’s nothing for you to do here, so quickly go back to your place.”

“Isn’t your place my place?”

Xu Chengfeng spoke as if it was a matter of course. He pulled her back into his arms, but she turned around and was about to leave. He held her from behind and kissed her gently on the neck. It was so soft that her bones were numb.

Such an ambiguous posture…

Zuo Yue was afraid that he would see her blushing, so she could only turn her head and say uncomfortably,””You can be so shameless just because you’re not related by blood, Xu Chengfeng…”
