Chapter 1052: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (137)
She could tell that the relationship between Zuo Hancheng and Gu Anhao was not as intimate and stable as she had imagined.
Even Zuo Yue felt that Gu Anhao and Zuo Hancheng were in a certain stage of love, but they had not completely opened their hearts.
As someone who had just been hurt emotionally, Zuo Yue could only play dumb every day in the Gilded Scenic Garden.
In the end, Zuo Hancheng brought Gu Anhao home with serious injuries within a few days.
Didn’t Gu Anhao go for her exams?
Why did it look like he was participating in a Japanese sumo wrestling competition? Injured like this?
Seeing Gu Anhao’s state, Zuo Yue still took the initiative to take care of her out of sympathy. Although she knew that Zuo Hancheng had lied and made it sound like he was seriously injured to tease her, Zuo Yue could also see how much her brother cared about Gu Anhao.
Hence, he took the opportunity to ease his relationship with Gu Anhao and reluctantly accepted this sister-in-law who was only one year older than him.
After getting along for a few days, Zuo Yue could not stand the couple’s awkwardness or the occasional display of affection. It was really enough. They were clearly married, but they still did not sleep together! Did she think that Zuo Yue was stupid and could not see through the tricks between the two of them?
So Zuo Yue decided to hide outside. After hiding outside for two days, she finally received a call from America.
The result was that Xu Chengfeng had canceled his plan to go to A City ahead of time. He would return to Russia in two days and would not have time to bring her back to America.
At that time, Zuo Yue was in a hotel room near Liu Jing Garden to avoid seeing her brother and sister-in-law showing off their affection.
She slowly put down the phone and looked at the neon lights outside the window.
After a long time, she entered Xu Chengfeng’s private number on the phone again. After looking at it for a while, she called him.
Her number had not changed, but his number…When she heard the sound of the call being connected, she was sure that his private number had not changed. At least he had his private phone with him and did not deliberately change the number to avoid her.
It rang for a long time, but no one answered.
Zuo Yue did not give up and continued to call. This time, it was picked up after a few rings.
“What’s the matter?”
She could no longer remember how many days had passed. Suddenly, she heard Xu Chengfeng’s voice again. Even though the voice sounded cold and clear without any warmth, Zuo Yue could not help but feel a wave of emotions in her heart.
She calmed down for a moment.” You canceled your plan to come to City A. Is it because you already planned to cancel it, or because you don’t want to see me?””
The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment before whispering,”Why did you suddenly go to A City?”
“That’s not important.” Zuo Yue’s eyes were a little red, but she deliberately spoke in a cold voice so that he would not hear the trembling and fragility in her voice.””I’m only asking you, did you cancel the plan to avoid me, or am I overthinking?”
“You’re overthinking it. The places I come to China to talk about finance often change. Beijing, Shanghai, and Shen Zhen were the areas he frequented. Although City A was a prosperous city in the coastal area, it had little to do with the financial business in Russia.”
Zuo Yue bit her lip and slowly lowered her hand from the window. She said hoarsely,””Uncle, will we really never see each other again?”
“..”
“Why did you suddenly run to China?”Xu Chengfeng asked her the same question.
Zuo Yue sniffed.
She didn’t dare to tell him that even though she said that she had given up, she still instinctively wanted to look for him, even if it was just a little closer to him.
These days, because she knew that he was also in China and that he might come to A City soon, she felt that there was hope in her life when she woke up every morning.
However, he did not expect that his hopes would be dashed so quickly.
“I… I came out to relax…”
Xu Chengfeng did not say anything else. She did not know if he was very busy.
Zuo Yue looked at the time.
It was already past ten o’clock at night, and he still hadn’t rested. Could it be that he was busy outside?
“That… Uncle, if you’re busy, I’ll hang up…I just wanted to ask the question just now…”
As she spoke, she slowly put the phone down from her ear.
“Zuo Yue.”
Just as the call was about to be hung up, Xu Chengfeng’s voice suddenly sounded on the other end of the phone. Zuo Yue quickly put the phone back to her ear,””Please speak.”
“When are you leaving?”
“Leave? Are you going back to America?”
“Yes.”
“I don’t know. My mom can tell that I don’t want to go back for the time being. She said that she couldn’t find anyone trustworthy to pick me up, but she’s actually giving me a chance to relax here. However, I don’t want to cause trouble for my brother. After all, my brother is married now and not single. I can’t stay by his side for too long, but my brother kept my passport, so I can’t leave by myself.”
Xu Chengfeng did not say anything when he heard her deliberately rambling on.
Zuo Yue did not know if he was listening to her nagging, so she could only say,””I don’t know when I’ll leave either…”
She vaguely heard Xu Chengfeng sigh.
Hearing his sigh, her heart trembled. She suddenly said,”Did I disturb you? I’m sorry. You already planned to never see me again, but I still called you. If I cause you any trouble, I…”
“Zuo Yue, don’t talk about this.” Xu Chengfeng said softly.
Zuo Yue bit her lip lightly.
“Are you with Zuo Hancheng?”
“No, I was staying at my brother’s place before, but I’ve been out for the past two days.”
“They don’t welcome you?”
“Of course not. My brother and sister-in-law are both very good. It’s just that my brother is usually too busy, and his personality is the same as yours. He doesn’t deliberately express his brotherly feelings, but I can see how much he takes care of me. Moreover, my sister-in-law makes him worry about me every day.”
“I haven’t seen you for a few days, and you’ve actually grown up.”
“..”Zuo Yue immediately rolled her eyes.”
“No.” Xu Chengfeng chuckled.
Hearing him laugh, Zuo Yue felt the pain in her heart lessen a lot, but his next words still made her feel cold all over.
“Rest early. You’re not familiar with China, so go back to America as soon as possible. Don’t waste your time on unimportant people or things, and don’t blindly search for them.”
Zuo Yue did not speak, as if all her thoughts had been seen through in an instant.
“As long as I don’t want you to find me, you’ll never see me again. So don’t come out again. Go back early. Be good and listen to me.”
