Chapter 1021: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Don’t Cause Trouble Trouble (106)
Zuo Yue’s heart skipped a beat. She lowered her head and buried it in Xu Chengfeng’s arms, afraid that Xu Yuan, who had just appeared outside the window, would recognize her.
Xu Chengfeng seemed to understand something because of her sudden action. He raised his hand and gently placed it on the back of her head to comfort her. At the same time, he lowered his eyes and looked at Zuo Yue, who was lying in his arms and did not dare to move.”Now you know fear?”
Zuo Yue was so nervous that her hands were tightly gripping his suit.”My mother! It’s my mom! Why didn’t you tell me earlier!”
Xu Chengfeng sighed softly. He did not turn around to look outside. He directly hugged Zuo Yue, who did not dare to show her head, and walked inside.
Xu Yuan had only just walked over from the window. Before she could get a clear look, she could only see Xu Chengfeng hugging the girl who seemed to be kissing him ambiguously as they walked in.
Thanks to the thick winter coat, even her biological mother might not be able to recognize Zuo Yue’s figure from such thick clothes. Moreover, Xu Yuan saw the girl kissing Xu Chengfeng just now, so she did not think in that direction at all. She only saw the two of them walking in. It was probably because they saw someone appear outside and felt awkward, so Xu Yuan turned around outside the door and did not look in again. She just walked to the direction of the door and waited for a while.
About two minutes later, Xu Yuan raised her hand and knocked on the office door.”Chengfeng, can I go in now?”
Zuo Yue, who was in a panic in the office, heard Xu Yuan’s voice and instantly exploded. She turned around and ran to the small window beside the French window, trying to open it.
Xu Chengfeng grabbed her and pulled her back. He scolded her fiercely,””Are you crazy? Don’t you know which floor we are on?”
“What should I do? My mom is here! I would rather die than let her see me! My mom will have a heart attack!” Zuo Yue’s eyes were red with anxiety. She was like an ant on a hot pan, spinning on the spot.
Xu Chengfeng sighed. This newly acquired technology company was not a big luxury group. Even if there was a lounge next to the CEO’s office, there was no way to walk directly from the office. They could only walk around the corridor outside the office. Now that Xu Yuan was outside the door, Zuo Yue indeed had nowhere to hide.
“Are you afraid?” Xu Chengfeng, who had been rationally rejecting her because she had taken the initiative in this relationship, was not as flustered as she was. Instead, he was calm as if nothing had happened.
Zuo Yue was so anxious that she was about to explode. When she heard the knock on the door, she took a step back sensitively. Xu Chengfeng also knew that now was not the time to let Xu Yuan know, but when he saw Zuo Yue’s frightened look, he sighed and pointed under the desk.”Since you want to hide, then this old place is the only place.”
When Zuo Yue heard that, she immediately remembered that she had been hiding under his desk the last time.
However, her mother had already seen her from outside just now. She did not know if she had recognized her or not. Wouldn’t it be unnecessary for her to hide in there now?
But was she going to face her mother directly like this?
Let her mother know that her daughter and her biological brother were in love?
Zuo Yue’s palms were covered in sweat. After thinking for half a minute, she decided to go all out and crawl under the desk. After sitting down, she let out a long sigh. However, she felt extremely uncomfortable. She did not understand why her mother suddenly came to Boston at this time. She did not even inform her in advance.
However, it was obvious that Xu Chengfeng already knew about it beforehand.
Zuo Yue, who was under the desk, heard Xu Chengfeng taking a few steps slowly beside the desk, as if he was observing the situation on her side. Zuo Yue did not even dare to breathe loudly. She curled up under the desk and did not move. The person beside the desk was silent for a moment before she heard his footsteps coming to the door.
When the office door was opened, Xu Yuan looked at Xu Chengfeng with a smile and then looked around curiously.””Where’s your girlfriend?”
“Are you here to talk about the Xu family or my relationship?” Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows. If it’s the former, we can go out and find a resting room to talk about the information provided by the hospital. If it’s the latter, I’m not a child, so there’s no need for sister to worry about it.”
Xu Yuan laughed.” Look at you. You make it sound like I’m going to meet my daughter-in-law. I’m your sister, not someone else. You’re not young anymore. Since you have a girlfriend, if you think she’s suitable, you should bring her home as soon as possible to let Dad take a look. You know that his life is already on the countdown. If he can see his daughter-in-law…”
Xu Chengfeng acted as if he did not hear her. He turned around and walked back to his desk. He picked up a stack of hospital documents on the table and was about to walk out with Xu Yuan when he realized that Xu Yuan had already entered the office.
However, Xu Yuan did not see the girl who had just kissed him inside. She immediately looked around in surprise.”The office of your small company isn’t big, and there’s no door beside it. Where did that girl go? I thought I could see it after I came in.”
Zuo Yue curled up under the desk and held her breath. She was about to break down.
Bless her, please don’t let her mother find her.
Xu Yuan smiled and looked inside. Her eyes immediately looked in the direction of the desk. As if she had thought of something, she suddenly smiled again.”Don’t tell me he hid under there?”
As she spoke, Xu Yuan took two steps forward. Even though she did not really walk to the desk and demand to meet him, Xu Chengfeng instinctively walked in front of her with the documents in his hand and blocked her way. At the same time, he said calmly,”I don’t want too many people to get involved in my relationship problems and private life. The information from the hospital back then is all here. This is also what you specially came here to investigate today.”
Xu Yuan looked at him helplessly. She took the stack of documents and flipped through them. She sighed and said,”I’m not forcing you to meet her. It’s just that Chengfeng, you’ll be turning 30 in a few years. Bring your girlfriend back early and let Dad take a look. At least Dad can close his eyes in the end and feel better.”
“If I could let him sleep in peace just by bringing a girlfriend back, why would he ask you to investigate the matter of me being carried away wrongly in the hospital back then? He still hasn’t forgotten what happened twenty years ago and is still clinging to the so-called truth. Why would he care if I have a girlfriend or not?”Xu Chengfeng said with a faint smile. At the same time, he looked in the direction of the office door.”Let’s talk outside.”
Xu Yuan glanced at him and then looked in the direction of the desk. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something.”I don’t know what’s wrong either. Logically speaking, I shouldn’t have gone overboard and asked to meet her. However, just now, I inexplicably felt that that girl was a little familiar…Although it was just a quick glance, she seems to be…”
