Xu Chengfengâs movements froze. Zuo Yueâs eyes had suddenly turned red, and he immediately regained his senses.
However, she was already in his arms. Xu Chengfeng looked at her for a moment and did not say anything else. He directly helped her up.
Zuo Yue stood up and staggered. Just as Xu Chengfeng was about to withdraw his hand, she suddenly grabbed his arm.
Xu Chengfeng paused and looked down at her. Seeing that her leg seemed to have fallen, he said softly,ââDid you fall badly? Do you need to go to the hospital?â
Normally, he wouldnât even need to ask her. His tone would always be â Iâll take you to the hospital.â
Zuo Yue shook her head and ignored her leg. She only looked up at him.âEven if we separate, those people will still pay attention to me. After all, they have already investigated me.â
Xu Chengfeng did not say anything. After a moment, he said,ââIf you try to reduce the number of times you appear by my side or never appear by my side again, the danger level will be much lower.â
âThatâs just a reduction, not a complete release of those people from my side.âZuo Yue said as she grabbed the sleeve of his suit.âWere you especially afraid that something would happen to me just now?â
Xu Chengfeng lowered his head to look at her legs. Seeing that she was standing unsteadily, he immediately frowned.âGet in the car first and go to the hospital to check if you fell anywhere else.â
Zuo Yue was about to push his hand away, but Xu Chengfeng did not say a word and forcefully helped her to the car. He opened the car door and pushed her in.
Even as he drove to the hospital, he still looked at Zuo Yueâs leg from time to time.
Actually, Zuo Yue did not fall too badly. It was just that the heels she wore when she went out today were a little higher than usual. She did not stand steadily just now and rolled on the ground twice. Although she did not suffer any injuries, her leg might have hit the railing, or it might have hit her bones, or it might just be a simple external injury. She did not pay much attention to it.
However, since Xu Chengfeng cared so much, she did not say anything else.
To be cared for, at least it proved that he wasnât completely heartless to her. At least he would still be worried about her and would still be as nervous as before.
She had thought that he could remain calm.
Zuo Yue suddenly smiled secretly, but she turned her head away with a smile, not wanting him to see the small ripple in her heart.
Even when Zuo Yue turned her head away while smiling, Xu Chengfengâs gaze did not follow her. His arm was on the steering wheel. As he controlled the steering wheel, the worry between his eyebrows suddenly deepened.
He sighed as he drove until he brought Zuo Yue to the hospital. After a check-up, he confirmed that she did not hurt her bones. She only sprained her ankle and the impact of her leg caused temporary pain. Only then did he relax.
She prescribed some medicine for external injuries and blood clots and returned to the Xu family. Zuo Yue sat by the bed and applied medicine on her leg. She suddenly remembered that she was going to do a DNA test with her uncle today.
In the end, he was still unable to investigate because of such a small change.
After applying the medicine, she picked up her phone and looked at it for a while. She decided to call Xu Chengfeng and use the small injury on her leg as an opportunity to ease their relationship.
However, no one picked up the phone for a long time.
Zuo Yue put down her phone in confusion and looked at it for a while. After waiting for a few minutes, she called again, but no one picked up.
She found it strange that Xu Chengfeng should not have gone out at this time. Moreover, it was already dark. Was he not in the room? Or did he not have his phone with him?
Just as Zuo Yue was about to send a text message to ask if he was only going to accompany her to the hospital to prescribe some medicine and then leave her alone? Just as he picked up his phone, there was a light knock on the door. Then, Xu Yuan walked in.
âI heard from Chengfeng that you were almost hit by a car today and fell. How is it? Is it serious?â Xu Yuan walked in as she spoke. When she got closer, she smelled some medicine. Then, she saw Zuo Yueâs calf and ankle were slightly swollen. She immediately walked over quickly and bent down to take a closer look.âWhy are you so careless? He almost got hit by a car when he went out? Fortunately, Chengfeng was by your side at that time. Otherwise, something might have happened to you.â
The corner of Zuo Yueâs mouth twitched.
Was it fortunate that Xu Chengfeng was by her side?
If it werenât for her precious brother, she might not have fallen into such a crisis.
Zuo Yue pursed her lips and did not say anything. She only moved her leg to the side and said indifferently,ââIâm fine. I just fell a little. The places I sprained and injured arenât serious. The doctor said that Iâll be much better tomorrow after applying some medicine.â
Xu Yuan picked up the medicine beside her hand and looked at it a few times before saying,â If itâs not serious, then itâs fine. I originally wanted you to be a little feminine, but in the end, every time you wear high heels, itâs so unreliable. Iâd better wear less in the future.â By the way, your uncle probably wonât have time to accompany you for the next two days. If your leg injury needs to be re-examined at the hospital, Iâll send a servant to accompany you to the hospital.â
âItâs not serious. You donât have to go to the hospital anymore.âZuo Yue said as she swung her legs by the bed to show that she was fine. At the same time, she asked,ââWill Uncle be busy with the company these two days? Heâs not at home now? Did you go out?â
Xu Yuan suddenly smiled meaningfully.ââThe internal situation of the Xu Corporation is really too complicated. Your little uncle needs to sort out a lot of connections, andâ¦â
Xu Yuan hesitated for a moment before saying,â Director Qinâs daughter is about the same age as your uncle. When she went to Russia to study, she met your uncle a few times. Because of this relationship, Director Qin intends to matchmake her daughter with your uncle. Your uncle has a beautiful woman by his side these past two days, so of course he has no time to care about you.ââ
âWhat Director Qinâs daughter?â Zuo Yue raised her eyes immediately.â
Xu Yuan didnât say anything further. She just smiled and said,â You know Director Qin is the head of the Xu Corporationâs board of directors. If he doesnât deliberately stir up trouble, many of the companyâs problems will be solved. It just so happens that your uncle doesnât seem to be in contact with his previous girlfriend anymore. I guess he broke up a few days ago, right? He didnât have many girlfriends by his side, and Director Qinâs daughter had a good family background, education, looks, and ability. The two of them seemed to be a good match. If they could really get along well, it would be a good choice.â
Zuo Yue suddenly got off the bed. Her posture looked a little awkward because of her leg injury, but she still limped out in a hurry.
âEh? Zuo Yue? Where are you going?â Seeing her anxious expression as if something had happened, Xu Yuan quickly called out to her.
Zuo Yue had just walked to the door when she stopped in her tracks. She turned around and said,ââI remember that when I came back from the hospital, I still left some things with my uncle. Iâll go look for him.â
