Chapter 1080: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (165)
 

Zuo Yue did not move and allowed him to kiss her. Her hands were stiff and tightly wrapped around the material of his shirt but she did not hug his neck.

She was afraid and uneasy. She did not know if she should hug her tightly. She did not know how to hold on to such a relationship.

Xu Chengfeng kissed away the tears on her face one by one, and then they were entangled with each other for a while. His hands had already tidied up her hospital gown and helped her put her pants back on. After buttoning them up, he got up and left her body as if nothing had happened.

Zuo Yue was still lying on the bed without moving. She did not have the strength to get up and could only look at him with her lifeless eyes.

However, Xu Chengfeng turned his eyes away. He felt that he must have been possessed.

The purpose of coming here was to warn her one last time and make her let go completely.

However, how did things turn out like this in such a short time?

However, even after such a change, he did not regret it at all. Perhaps she was not the only one who was sinking into this so-called sinking. Even he had long been sinking into it and could not extricate himself.

*****

When Xu Chengfeng left the ward, it was already two hours later.

Wang Ma was about to come back, and Zuo Yue had already fallen asleep due to exhaustion.

The moment he opened the door of the ward and walked out, he saw Xu Yuan standing outside the door for a long time. Xu Chengfeng was not surprised at all. He only glanced at her and pointed outside, meaning to go there and talk to her so that he would not disturb the people inside.

Xu Yuan didn’t say anything. She just swept her gaze across his body and saw that although his shirt was still neat, it was obviously slightly creased. Her gaze paused for a moment before she turned around and left.

On the first floor of the hospital, in the quiet VIP lounge, Xu Yuan pushed open the door and walked straight to the window not far away. She opened the window and took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. When she heard the steady footsteps behind her, she suddenly turned to look at him. She saw that Xu Chengfeng’s eyes were calm, as if he did not feel frustrated at all.

“How long have you been back?” Xu Chengfeng asked before she could speak.

“Not long ago, but I knew you were inside. In order to prevent Zuo Yue from being emotionally unstable, I didn’t go in.”Xu Yuan’s expression was a little ugly.” I’ve been feeling uneasy during the meeting. I was afraid that something might happen to her again, so I ended the meeting early and came to take a look.” In the end…Chengfeng, what exactly happened? You and Zuo Yue…”

“It’s nothing.” Xu Chengfeng replied calmly,” She’s still a child at her age who is still ignorant of relationships. She’s too easily attached to the people around her. In addition, she experienced what happened in the Zuo family when she was young. You should know how much she relies on and desires for family and relationships.”

“Are you blaming me for not giving her enough company?” Xu Yuan’s expression froze. Is this the reason why you and my daughter have feelings for each other?”

“It’s not a reason. From the moment I walked into this hospital, I never thought of any reason.””Say what you want to say. I’m sure you’ve been holding it in for a long time.””

Xu Yuan stared at him and did not criticize him too much. After all, she had seen too many storms and waves. It was just that it was inevitable that she could not maintain complete rationality when it came to her daughter’s matter.

After looking at him for a long time, she said softly,”The Xu Corporation is just a burden to you, isn’t it?”

Xu Chengfeng paused and replied,”Yes.””

Xu Yuan immediately frowned.” You’ve been wanting to leave the Xu family ever since you found out about your background. Now, I’ll grant you your wish. If you really don’t want any connection between the HR Group and the Xu Corporation, I can spare you the responsibility. However, you have to agree to one condition of mine.”

Xu Chengfeng remained silent until Xu Yuan clearly stated her conditions.

Seeing that he did not agree directly and even wavered in his relationship with Zuo Yue, Xu Yuan was so angry that her eyes turned red. She glared at him and said loudly,”Xu Chengfeng! You have to agree even if you don’t want to! You must agree!”

Xu Chengfeng remained silent.

He was only thinking.

He was thinking about Zuo Yue’s gaze and the taste of that little girl’s tears.

“Zuo Yue is my daughter, my biological daughter!”Xu Yuan added, staring straight into his eyes.”Chengfeng, you only have one choice! The only choice!”

“Miss Sun, eat slowly. Your appetite was so bad two days ago. Why did you eat so much pork ribs these past two days? Although eating more is a good thing, your body still needs to eat normally. Eating too much is not good for your body. You have to chew carefully and swallow slowly. Aiya, you child, why do you eat like you’re snatching food…”

Mother Wang watched as Zuo Yue finished the food she had brought like a whirlwind. She immediately began to pack her things helplessly.”Alright, if you’re full, I’ll go back first. Madam has something to do these two days, so she asked me to bring you some food. I don’t know if you’ll be bored in the hospital alone in the afternoon.”

“No need, no need. I’m fine.”Zuo Yue wiped her mouth clean and smiled at Wang Ma. Her eyes clearly showed that she wanted Wang Ma to leave quickly after finishing her meal.

How could Wang Ma not see the look in her eyes? She smiled helplessly and turned to leave.

Once again, she was alone in the ward. Zuo Yue lay on the bed and secretly took out her phone from under the table beside her. She glanced at the time displayed on her phone.

Mother wasn’t around in the afternoon these two days, so Mother Wang only watched her leave after dinner.

Xu Chengfeng would come over to accompany her every afternoon. Even if it was just to talk to her, sit beside her and watch her take her injections and medicine, even if it was just a kiss and a hug, Zuo Yue still looked forward to the afternoon. Even if every time she saw him, she was a little nervous and did not dare to take the initiative to hug him, but Xu Chengfeng had been very proactive these days.

She was about to send a message to ask when he would arrive when her phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the caller ID and was stunned for a moment. Then, she picked up the phone.”Hello? Ai Ke?”

“Zuo Yue, are you still in Los Angeles recently? Don’t forget what we agreed on before. You must come to the class reunion at the end of this month. All of them are bringing their boyfriends over. It’s so infuriating. I feel so embarrassed to not have a boyfriend. I have to find one and bring him over as soon as possible. Also, Lian Keying keeps talking about your boyfriend. Zuo Yue, do you want to bring your boyfriend too? Ah, it’s fine if you’re really unwilling. I just think that it’s more lively with more people…”

Zuo Yue’s mouth twitched. Before she could say anything, there was a sudden sound from the door of the ward. She turned her head with her phone and saw Xu Chengfeng’s tall figure entering the door.
