Zuo Yueâs hair stood on end when the door opened with a click.
Xu Chengfengâs lips were still on her lips, and she was so nervous that she grabbed his arm tightly.
However, at that moment, Xu Chengfeng stepped back in front of her. At the same time, his shirt and suit were still very clean. It was impossible to tell what had happened just now, and there were no wrinkles on her coat. Other than Zuo Yueâs stiff white face and red lips, there seemed to be nothing unusual.
Because of his retreat, Zuo Yue was forced to take two steps forward when the door was opened.
Yin Ruisheng hurriedly walked through the door. His anxious gaze, which was worried about what had happened to Zuo Yue, paused when he saw Zuo Yue standing in front of the door. At the same time, his attention was attracted by Xu Chengfengâs existence. He looked at Xu Chengfeng with a somewhat stunned gaze.
âMr. Yin, is there anything else I can help you with?âThe room service staff outside the door asked softly.
Yin Ruisheng first looked at Zuo Yue, then looked at Xu Chengfeng, but did not answer. After a moment, he turned around and nodded at the room service staff to express his gratitude. Then, he indicated that the other party could leave.
Then he walked to Zuo Yueâs side and noticed the paleness on her face and the color of her lips that seemed to be bloodshot. Although he did not dare to imagine it, he could roughly guess what was going on.
He frowned, and his gaze gradually fell on the man who had been expressionless all this while.
âAre you alright?â Yin Ruisheng looked at Xu Chengfeng and asked Zuo Yue beside him.
Zuo Yue did not utter a word and only shook her head lightly.ââIâm sorry for making you worry.â
Yin Ruisheng didnât say anything. He reached out and grabbed Zuo Yueâs hand, pulling her to his side and protecting her behind him. At the same time, he looked at Xu Chengfeng, who was expressionless and even had a mocking look in his eyes.âMr. Xu, I respect you as an elder, but Zuo Yue has already agreed to be my girlfriend. I have the absolute right and position to protect her and restrict her from being too intimate with other men.â
Xu Chengfengâs eyes did not change, but there was already a hint of coldness in his eyes. He looked at the young man who was only 20 years old and had no fear.
âEven if youâre Zuo Yueâs uncle, youâre still a man after all. Zuo Yue isnât a child anymore. I hope that when youâre with her in the future, you can try to avoid being alone in a room like this. Although this is America and doesnât have the feudal thoughts of Korea and China, there are still many foreign students from there around Zuo Yue. She needs her face and canât be pointed at by others, so I hope that Mr. Xu can pay attention to propriety.â
âLimits?â Xu Chengfeng smiled faintly, and the smile in his eyes carried a hint of unexplainable discussion. He looked at Zuo Yue, who had been standing behind Yin Ruisheng in a daze and did not speak, as if she had not recovered from her daze.âOf course I value propriety more.â
Zuo Yue came back to her senses. She was stunned by Xu Chengfengâs indistinct words.
She was the one who had been provoking him all along. No matter how angry she was today, it seemed that she was at fault for causing her uncle and Yin Ruisheng to be on opposing sides. She even caused Xu Chengfeng to be ridiculed for not being careful because of her.
Pay attention to proprietyâ¦
He had been reminding her of this all along.
Zuo Yueâs hand was held by Yin Ruisheng. She looked at Yin Ruishengâs figure in front of her and said softly,ââBrother Ruisheng, Iâm sorry for causing you trouble.â
Hearing Zuo Yueâs words, Yin Ruisheng turned to look at her. He looked into her eyes and wanted to know what she was thinking and her decision through her eyes.
âIâm sorry for dragging you in today.âZuo Yue had mostly sobered up, but her eyes were still intoxicated and her head hurt. She looked at him apologetically,ââI know itâs useless to say anything now, but I donât want you and my uncle to stand on the opposite side. Even if I donât want to go back with him now, I donât want you to have a grudge with him.â
âSo do you want to go back with him now, or stay here for the night and wait for me to arrange another place for you tomorrow?âYin Ruisheng asked directly.
Zuo Yue did not answer. She stood behind him, but her eyes suddenly turned to Xu Chengfeng.
Xu Chengfeng looked back at her indifferently. His eyes were clearly dissatisfied with Yin Ruishengâs interference.
âI donât know.â Zuo Yue took a deep breath and said,ââI want to be quietâ¦â
âSince your mother left you in my care, I have no reason to let you move out.âHearing Zuo Yueâs answer, Xu Chengfengâs expression darkened.ââZuo Yue, come back with me.â
Zuo Yue did not utter a word. She withdrew her hand from Yin Ruishengâs hand, but she did not walk in Xu Chengfengâs direction.
She had been angry all day, and the kiss just now had made her head spin. She was still drunk, so she could only take a step back in a daze. Suddenly, she did not want to face her uncle or Yin Ruisheng anymore. She just wanted to find a quiet corner to sort out her emotions.
Zuo Yue suddenly turned around and was about to leave. Yin Ruisheng saw this and quickly turned around.âZuo Yue!â
Xu Chengfeng had already strode over and grabbed her arm to pull her back. Zuo Yue staggered and fell into his arms. She struggled and looked up at him.âLet go!â
âLetâs go back and talk!â Xu Chengfeng had obviously lost his patience. He didnât even plan to say a word to Yin Ruisheng and was about to take her away by force.
âMr. Xu! Please be more polite to Zuo Yue. Even if youâre her uncle, Iâm still her boyfriend. I have the right to stop her fromâ¦â Yin Ruisheng walked over and stood directly in front of them, blocking their way. His eyes were neither servile nor overbearing. It was obvious that he did not intend to let Zuo Yue be taken away alone.
Xu Chengfeng glanced at him, then suddenly snorted and looked down at Zuo Yue, who was locked in his arms with a pale face.ââAre you sure you want him to provoke me because of you?â
Zuo Yueâs eyes paused. She suddenly remembered her uncleâs identity and background. In front of her, he was like an uncle who was like the wind and the moon, but behind him was the leader of the underworld. Human lives might not mean anything to him at all. If Yin Ruisheng offended him because of herâ¦
âBrother Ruisheng, Iâ¦â Zuo Yue immediately looked at Yin Ruisheng.
Seeing the emotions in Zuo Yueâs eyes, Yin Ruishengâs gaze remained unchanged as he said,ââAs long as you say the word, I will accompany you no matter what, even if it means offending your uncle. Donât forget that you said that you would marry me when you grew up. You will never know how long I have waited and searched for you because of your words. So, Zuo Yue, no matter what decision you make, I will respect it.â
