Chapter 1148: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (233)
Zuo Yue smiled and did not say anything, but she still managed to free her hand from his grasp.
The atmosphere was too uncomfortable for her. She did not look at Xu Chengfeng and only turned to look at Bai Jiazhengâs parents, who had a questioning look in their eyes. She nodded apologetically and was about to turn around and leave.
Bai Hao felt strange and turned to ask her,âZuo Yue, whatâs wrong?â
âIâm fine.â Zuo Yue said softly.
She just felt that the atmosphere was too strange and regretted her decision to agree to attend this banquet.
She had never attended such a banquet with Xu Chengfeng before, nor had she confronted him in such an occasion. She was not used to it, and now she felt that it was difficult to breathe. She just wanted to get out quickly.
Zuo Yue was about to turn around when Xu Chengfeng said,âSince you have a boyfriend, why didnât you tell me?â
The voice sounded extremely casual.
However, this voice still made Zuo Yue stop in her tracks. The Bai familyâs parents looked at Zuo Yue in surprise, then looked at Xu Chengfeng.âMr. Xu, youâre⊠Do you really know Miss Zuo?â
Bai Haoâs expression also suddenly turned a little ugly. He grabbed Zuo Yueâs hand, and when she was pulled back, his gaze stared at her and directly asked,âWhat happened? Why are you hiding? You know people from the KP Group? Do you know him?â
Zuo Yue really did not know how to explain this matter. She only secretly ground her teeth and looked up at Xu Chengfeng with a lukewarm expression.âIndeed.â
âWhat did he mean when he asked you just now? What does it have to do with him whether you have a boyfriend or not?âBai Hao usually looked to be considered a calm person, but now, it could clearly be seen that he was jealous.
The parents of the Bai family knew that the daughter of the Zuo family was not easy to control. Moreover, there was someone like Xu Chengfeng present. Although they did not know the exact situation, they did not ask much. They only observed Zuo Yueâs expression.
âHe isâŠâ Zuo Yue hesitated for a moment.
âYouâre usually so eloquent. Whatâs wrong with you now? Didnât she just have a boyfriend and secretly ran over to see the other partyâs parents?âXu Chengfengâs voice seemed to carry a hint of laughter, but his eyes were cold that only she could understand.
âThis, Mr. XuâŠYouâŠâ
âHe is my uncle.â Zuo Yue suddenly hardened her heart and blurted out.
Bai Hao was stunned for a moment, and so were the Bai familyâs parents. Only Aiteâs mouth twitched slightly, and Xu Chengfengâs cold gaze landed on her face.
âUncle? No wonder they were relatives! I didnât expect Mr. Xu to be related to the Zuo family in Los Angeles. In that case, Ms. Zuoâs mother, Ms. Xu from Zuo Corporation, is Mr. Xuâs sister?âFather Bai finally understood and immediately felt that the atmosphere was much more natural.
Xu Chengfeng did not answer, but he did not refute either. His gaze swept across Zuo Yueâs face indifferently. He turned to Father Bai and smiled politely.âThatâs right.â
âThen I really have to explain it to Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu, please donât misunderstand. We just found out about the relationship between my son and Miss Zuo. Itâs the first time these two children came to see us. They were actually very surprised to see us. Of course, the surprise was more than the surprise. I didnât expect Miss Zuo to be with our good-for-nothing son. We were afraid that Miss Zuo would be wronged. Now that we know that Miss Zuo is actually Mr. Xuâs niece, Then it seems that we are fated to meet Mr. XuâŠâ
Xu Chengfengâs lips curled up slightly, but there was obviously no smile in his eyes. On the contrary, although he looked calm, the Bai familyâs parents felt an inexplicable sense of pressure.
âSince heâs Zuo Yueâs uncle, then I might have been negligent.âBai Hao pulled Zuo Yueâs hand and said,âI wasnât prepared to meet the elders of both sides at the same time. Although Mr. Xu isnât Zuo Yueâs parents, Uncle is also close. Dear, and it seemed that Mr. Xu was very familiar with Zuo Yue. He was even very concerned about her getting a boyfriend. Why donât we find time to have a meal together in the next two days? I just donât know if Uncle Xu would do us the favor.â
The word âUncle Xuâ made Xu Chengfeng raise his eyebrows strangely. Zuo Yueâs heart skipped a beat. She felt that if Bai Hao continued to speak, it was very likely that Ait would drag Bai Hao away in an instant, kick him into a helicopter, and throw him into Africa.
âCough, although he is my uncle, he and I are actually not veryâŠâ
Zuo Yue wanted to say that they were not very close, but Xu Chengfeng did not look at her at this moment. However, she hesitated for a moment and felt that she could not understand his temper now. If she said something that made him unhappy and he directly said that the two of them had been âcloseâ not long ago in front of so many people, then she could directly hide in the cracks in the ground in the future.
âNot very what?â Xu Chengfeng turned to look at her. There was a faint smile in his eyes.
âWe donât meet often, so Iâm surprised to see you here today.ââZuo Yue changed her tone at the right time. Then, she turned to the Bai familyâs parents and said,âUncle, Auntie, Iâm sorry. I was a little uncomfortable just now because I suddenly saw someone familiar here.â
âItâs okay, itâs okay!â
Zuo Yue did not pay attention to what Bai Hao and his parents were talking about. However, she was thinking about how to distract herself from the awkward situation and how to make Xu Chengfeng leave so that she would not feel so awkward again.
Suddenly, Xu Chengfeng said,âZuo Yue, follow me.â â
That voice was really like a serious elder talking to a junior in a cold voice.
Zuo Yue snapped out of her daze and looked up. She saw that Xu Chengfeng had already turned around and left as if there was no one else around.
She stood where she was. Her parents and Bai Hao looked at her again, probably guessing whether she would leave with Xu Chengfeng or not. Zuo Yue glanced at Ainte and the two bodyguards in black not far away. Although she was unhappy, she did not want to cause trouble here, nor did she want to implicate Bai Hao and the others. She could only nod apologetically to her parents and turn around to follow them obediently.
âHey, Zuo YueâŠâ Bai Hao felt that the atmosphere between Zuo Yue and that Xu Chengfeng was not quite normal and wanted to go over and pull her back.
However, just as he took a step forward, Ainte suddenly turned his body slightly and stood in front of him.
Bai Hao looked at the hint of warning in Ainteâs eyes. When he turned his head again, Zuo Yue and Xu Chengfengâs figures had already walked far away in the crowd.
However, he felt that Zuo Yue was very unwilling just now and was really worried. When he looked over there again, Ait said,âMr. Xu is usually very concerned about Miss Zuo, so you donât have to worry.â
