Chapter 992: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Didn’t Get Rid of Him (77)

Although she did not have much strength, she managed to move her hand and hold his instead.

Noticing her silent but persistent action, Xu Chengfeng did not frown anymore, nor did he scold her coldly.

Zuo Yue’s meaning was clear.

“Zuo Yue, your mother would not want you to walk down this path.”Xu Chengfeng looked at her patiently. Because of her injuries and her struggles on the verge of death these past few days, he could no longer ignore everything about her.

“Then don’t let my mom know.”Zuo Yue laughed.” Anyway, my mother didn’t have many chances to see me when I was studying in Boston. As long as we don’t say anything, she won’t know anything.””

“What about after you graduate? Are you planning to hide it from her for the rest of your life? When you reach the age of marriage, your mother will ask you to bring your boyfriend back to see her. What will you do?”Xu Chengfeng looked at her coldly.

Zuo Yue did not speak for a while, but when she felt that he was about to withdraw his hand, she quickly pulled his hand.

Although she did not have much strength, Xu Chengfeng paused for a moment because of her sudden strength. In the end, he did not shake her off.

“I have never thought about the future…” she whispered.

Xu Chengfeng’s eyes immediately showed a trace of mockery.””Then you should think about the future thoroughly before standing in front of me and talking about so-called love.”

“I don’t know what the future will be like, but there are so many disasters in the world every day. Who can guarantee that they can live a safe life?”Zuo Yue looked into his eyes.” Uncle, just like now, we don’t know when we will get hurt or when we will encounter unexpected things. But when we can love, we don’t love. We only think about the future. The future is so far away, but I am right in front of you. Why can’t you look at me but look at the future…”

“You’re being unreasonable.” Xu Chengfeng frowned.

“I just want to cherish the present.”Zuo Yue said as she looked at his hand.”I cherish the feeling that you didn’t throw me away…”

Xu Chengfeng paused and suddenly moved his hand away. Zuo Yue tried to grab it again but failed.

She looked at him pitifully. He stood up but did not leave. He just looked down at her.

“You want to abandon me again?” Zuo Yue said eagerly.

Xu Chengfeng was silent for a moment before he said,””Rest well. You’ve been hospitalized one after another recently. Don’t make me worry so much.”

“You couldn’t go back to Russia because of me these two times I was hospitalized. I know that I seem to have delayed something for you, but Uncle, my purpose isn’t to drag you down. I just don’t want you to disappear from my life…”

Before Xu Chengfeng walked out of the ward, Zuo Yue was lying on the hospital bed. Although her back was in so much pain that she could not move, her eyes were fixed on his back.”If you have something to do, go ahead. I won’t pester you, but don’t cut off contact with me, okay? I’m afraid I won’t be able to find you in the future.”

Xu Chengfeng had already opened the door of the ward, but he stopped in his tracks because of her words.

Even though he only gave her a heartless back view, Zuo Yue could feel that he was stopping for her and could not help but smile in relief.

“Alright, I won’t disappear.” Xu Chengfeng did not look at her. He left the room after saying those words. To him, it felt like he was running away.

Zuo Yue did not know why he was in such a hurry to leave, but because he said that he would not disappear, she smiled and closed her eyes.

However, he frowned because of the excruciating pain on his back.

How did she get shot?

She had no recollection of her injury.

Were those people shooting at his uncle?

Did someone want to kill him?

“Chengfeng, then I’ll have to trouble you with Zuo Yue’s matter.”Xu Yuan’s voice sounded from the phone.””That girl’s pneumonias hadn’t recovered yet, and I was afraid that she would be sad in the hospital alone. Since you suddenly canceled your trip back to Russia, I can only continue to hand that girl over to you. It’s just that Zuo Yue’s temper might be a little delicate after she fell ill. You should give in to her a little. Don’t get angry with her when she’s not sensible.”

“Yes.” Xu Chengfeng stood in front of the window and spoke to Xu Yuan on the phone. Although he did not speak much, he had indeed taken over the responsibility of taking care of Zuo Yue in the near future.

“I’m relieved to have you around. I really can’t let go of my father’s health. The Zuo Corporation is also in a period of turmoil in the US financial industry. Zuo Yue’s father and I still have to deal with the company’s matters here.”Xu Yuan sighed.” Hancheng has been in China for five years. I don’t know when he’ll be back. After all, we’re getting old. The Zuo family business will be handed over to him sooner or later.”

When Xu Chengfeng thought of Zuo Hancheng, he could not help but think of the young man named Vllen when he first negotiated with the American mafia.

” It’s not easy for Han City to let go of everything and move Shengling Group to China,” he said after a while.” It’s not easy for them to cut off all ties with New York.””

“It seems that you know about the things that happened in Cold City.” Xu Yuan paused.”

“I don’t know much about the Zuo family, but I’ve more or less heard of Zuo Hancheng. He’s an amazing person.”

“Sigh, Han Cheng has always had his own sense of propriety. Although we didn’t expect that he would be involved in the underworld, at least he has already retired at the right time. However, the old man kept using these past matters to threaten him. He even forced him to marry that girl, Chengxin. He insisted that Hancheng would only cut off all ties with the underworld after they got married and started a family. The old man was impulsive and arbitrary, forcing Hancheng away…”

“You don’t have to worry about it anymore. Zuo Hancheng is not a heartless person after all. He will come back sooner or later.”

“Yes, but I don’t know when the city will come back.”After a pause, Xu Yuan’s mood suddenly became very good again.” By the way, I called Han Cheng not long ago, and it was a young lady who picked up. The young lady scolded Han Cheng over the phone, and it was very interesting. It sounds like she’s very close to Han Cheng. I wonder if something good is about to happen…”

Xu Chengfeng hung up the phone after listening to Xu Yuan ramble on about some family matters.

Not far away, in front of Zuo Yue’s ward, a doctor and nurse walked in. It was obvious that they were helping her with the wound on her back and some follow-up treatment.

Xu Chengfeng did not walk in. He had one hand in his pocket as he stared at the heavy snow outside the hospital.

Closing his eyes, the image of Zuo Yuxue, who was stubbornly waiting in front of the cinema entrance, entered his mind.

After Zuo Yue was shot, the stack of movie tickets in her hand scattered. The scene of her falling down struck his rationality hard.
