Zuo Yue did not say anything when he suddenly fell silent. She sat at the side and looked at him. Her intuition told her that he must have something on his mind.
âIâm going to meet a client in the city tomorrow. I should be out early.ââIâll send you back to the Zuo family tonight so that your father and grandfather wonât worry,â Xu Chengfeng said.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âOh.â Zuo Yue responded. She knew that he would not really indulge himself to the point where she could do whatever she wanted.
However, what she had expected was actually heard. It was inevitable that she felt a little disappointed.
âAfter playing basketball, Iâll accompany you for supper and send you back.âXu Chengfeng took another sip of water and got up to go down.
Zuo Yue suddenly raised her hand and pulled him back.â Then, do you want to stay at the Zuoâs for supper tonight before leaving?â Letâs go back and eat. Donât eat outside.â
Xu Chengfeng was not close to the Zuo family. He only knew them because of Xu Yuan. He was not close to the Xu family, let alone the Zuo family.
However, Xu Chengfeng did not reject her directly. He turned back and looked at her expectant eyes, as if he wanted to integrate into her life and get closer to her.
He held her hand and smiled.ââAlright.â
When Xu Chengfeng went to the basketball court again to play the second half, Zuo Yue looked at the vigorous figure in the court. She felt that when he said the word â okay â just now, he did not seem to think about anything else. He was only looking at her.
It was as if he had been looking at her eyes to see if she was really looking forward to it.
Everything that happened today was for her sake, for her sake, for her happiness.
But why did Zuo Yue still feel empty in her heart, as if there was something she wanted to grasp but could not?
She held the water bottle in her hand and looked at the figure in the white shirt on the basketball court.
*****
The next day, Zuo Yue went to a gathering in the afternoon. She had forgotten to match the dress she had bought for the gathering with her shoes, so she had to drive out to buy shoes. This round trip caused her to arrive at the gathering hotel more than ten minutes late.
However, even if she was late, she didnât think much of it. This was everyoneâs gathering, and she wasnât the star of the day. At most, she would be punished to drink a few more glasses of wine.
Before entering the hotel, Zuo Yue was still looking at her phone worriedly.
Last night, after Xu Chengfeng sent her back to the Zuo family, they did have a simple supper at the Zuo familyâs house. They even chatted with her grandfather for a long time about business and what they had seen and heard in Russia. The old and the young got along very well.
After Xu Chengfeng left, he had not contacted her since last night.
He didnât make any calls.
Yesterday afternoon, they were still in a state of passionate love, as if they wanted to give her all the beauty in the world, but why was it suddenly so quiet today?
Was it because he had something to do today that he was too busy to call her good morning or tell her to eat lunch?
Zuo Yue looked at the quiet phone for a while, until the phone suddenly rang. She was shocked, but the number displayed was not Xu Chengfengâs number, but Ai Keâs.
âHey! Zuo Yue, have you fallen yet? Weâve all been here for a long time. Youâre the only one left!â
âIâm at the hotel entrance now!â
Zuo Yue said as she walked in quickly.
Just as Zuo Yue dragged her dress into the hotelâs main entrance, a black extended business car drove over not far away. The window rolled down, revealing Xu Chengfengâs face.
He looked at Zuo Yue, who was dressed up, and then looked at her figure as she hurriedly walked into the hotelâs main entrance. There was a hint of doubt between his brows. At the same time, two British customers who came out of the car beside him were smiling and looking in the direction of his car.
Xu Chengfeng got out of the car. The two British clients said that they would be staying at this hotel for the next two days and that they planned to move the cooperation negotiations with the Xu Corporation to this hotel.
Xu Chengfeng originally did not have any objections, but because of Zuo Yueâs figure just nowâ¦
He asked his assistant to send them to the hotel first. At the same time, he took out his phone and sent a message to Zuo Yue.
[Where are you gathering?]
Zuo Yue, who had just entered the hotel, heard the sound of a text message on her phone. She looked down and saw the message notification. When she saw that it was a message from Xu Chengfeng, she immediately picked it up and looked at it. Then, she replied with a smile on her face,[Are you done? Iâm having a party at the Rolls Royce Hotel. Itâs called a party, but itâs actually a banquet. I donât know when itâll end.]
Xu Chengfeng looked at the words âRolls Royce Hotelâ in front of him.
He immediately raised his hand and rubbed the space between his eyebrows.
Was this girl really his nemesis in this lifetime?
Seeing that he didnât reply, Zuo Yue held her phone and asked in confusion,[Are you done?]
Xu Chengfeng walked into the hotel, but because the other partyâs banquet was separated by an aisle from the negotiation venue here, they could not see each other. After taking a look, he replied directly,[No, have fun. Donât drink.]]
Initially, Zuo Yue thought that he would come to accompany her and give her a surprise. When she saw that he said that he was not done with his work, she sighed and replied with a [Mm] before she did not continue to disturb him.
However, the matter of not drinkingâ¦
She looked at the red wine and champagne towers all over the place. She was afraid that she would not be able to listen to him tonight.
Zuo Yue had just put her phone back into her handbag and was about to turn around to walk in. Suddenly, a familiar-looking man walked in front of her. Zuo Yue looked at the man and before she could react, Lian Keying suddenly walked out from the washroom at the side. After she came out, she held the manâs arm with a passionate expression and said something.
This was Zuo Yueâs fiancé whom she had met at the clothing store previously. Previously, it seemed that there would not be any future between the two of them. Now, she did not know what had happened between the two of them. Not only did this man allow Lian Keying to accompany her to the class reunion, but he even hugged her shoulders and whispered into her ear when Lian Keying leaned into his arms affectionately. They looked extremely intimate.
This was not something that Zuo Yue should have paid attention to.
However, Lian Keying was whispering to her fiancé while looking in Zuo Yueâs direction. Her eyes were filled with pride and provocation. After she finished speaking, she walked towards Zuo Yue.
Zuo Yue was wearing a simple blue dress. It was not particularly flashy or exaggerated, nor was it plain and suffocating. It was very suitable for her age and young temperament. She looked lively and simple, but also revealed a nobility that even Ke Ying could not compare to.
âWhy did you come alone?â Lian Keying said with a taunting look. Didnât we agree last time? Everyone brought their boyfriends over today. Whereâs your boyfriend from last time? Did you really break up?â
âWho told you that?â Zuo Yue gave her a cold glance with a faint smile.
