The more she went overboard, the deeper his gaze became when he looked at her.
It was as if he would swallow her alive if she dared to spout nonsense again.
However, he didnât say anything. Just a smile in his eyes made her keep quiet out of fear.
â After eating fruits, I will not forget to take medicine for a while, drink plenty of water and rest.ââZuo Yue didnât want to talk nonsense with him anymore. She ignored the fruit in her mouth and got up to leave.
Xu Chengfeng did not say anything to stop her. He simply threw the toothpick and the piece of fruit back into the fruit plate. Then, he turned and looked at Zuo Yue, who was determined to leave.âIâll be attending King Corporationâs business conference at the end of this month.â
Zuo Yueâs footsteps suddenly stopped, and then she suddenly turned her eyes to look at the man who remained calm but had dark eyes.
She was an intern in the business department. If she could successfully participate in the new product launch at the end of the month, her internship would end quickly and she would be able to become a full-time employee. It would soon be time for her to prove her strength.
However, if something went wrong and the number of participants decreased, she and the other interns would definitely not be qualified.
She didnât expect that the commercial conference at the end of the month would be related to him.
âDidnât Ainte say that youâre leaving the United States soon?âZuo Yue kept a straight face and hid the worry in her eyes.
Xu Chengfengâs lips curled up slightly.âI did have this plan.â
âThen leave. If you leave, the commercial conference at the end of the month will have nothing to do with you!â
Xu Chengfeng chuckled.â But Iâve changed my mind now. Since the cooperation with King Corporation has already reached this stage, I should definitely go to the commercial conference at the end of the month. Even if itâs not for the cooperation between King Corporation and the GN Corporation, I should still go and take a look just because youâre there.â
Zuo Yue instantly wished she could pinch him to death with her eyelids!
âWho wants you to see it! I have nothing to do with you! It was alright! It was alright! Did you hear that?â
Zuo Yue pulled open the door with a particularly unhappy expression and walked out quickly. She did not want to stay here any longer.
After she ran outside and hailed a taxi, she sat in the car and looked at her phone. After thinking for a long time, she gave Xu Chengfeng a call.
The phone was picked up after a few rings, but Xu Chengfeng did not speak first.
Zuo Yue could not help but say,â I still have the same words. Mr. Xu, please donât interfere with my work and my life.ââ
âWhen are you moving back?â
âThereâs nothing between the two of us. Why should I move to your place?â
âThe press conference at the end of the monthâ¦â
âXu Chengfeng!â Zuo Yue said angrily. Itâs useless to threaten me in this way! A good horse doesnât eat grass again, do you understand? I donât remember you being such a despicable person! Let me tell you, I already have someone I like. Iâm no longer the little girl who was obsessed with you. Please donât affect my life in the future!â
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, Xu Chengfengâs voice did not change, but it sounded much calmer.âIs that so?â
âWhether you believe it or not! I⦠Iâm already together with Yin Ruisheng! A few days ago, the two of us were just fighting, so we didnât look that close! Let me tell you, anything can change in three years. No one will always wait for you in the same place!â
Zuo Yue shouted into the phone. Before he could speak again, she hung up the phone abruptly. Then, she turned to look out the window. Suddenly, her eyes were wet.
Whether it was three years ago or three years later, the problems between them were still the same.
Since they had hurt each other three years ago because of this relationship that shouldnât have existed, they shouldnât get close to each other now.
She was already afraid of getting closer to him. She had enough of hearing her heart break every day and night!
Zuo Yue held her phone tightly with tears in her eyes. The phone was very quiet. Xu Chengfeng did not call back.
She suddenly looked out of the car window at the bars that she passed by. When she passed by the bar that she often went to, she raised her hand to wipe the tears that could not stop falling. She looked forward again until she reached a bar that she had never been to before. She suddenly asked the driver to stop.
Zuo Yue did not call anyone, nor did she need anyone to accompany her. She walked in directly.
Outside, the sky was getting dark and the bar was bustling with neon lights. She ordered a few glasses of the strongest wine and sat alone in the corner to drink.
However, no matter how much she drank, her lips still seemed to be stained with that personâs taste.
It was clear, clean, and unique. It was a smell that could not be washed away no matter how hard one tried.
Even if he came back to look for her now, the two of them were still uncle and niece, right?
Even if she still felt her heart flutter, everything that she had experienced in the past three years reminded her that he had once given her a few days of happiness. She had once fallen for that blissful feeling of being together.
However, after that, he was forced to leave by his mother, and it was during the three years that he was missing.
She couldnât remember how many places she had secretly searched for. She had once given up, persisted, and then gave up again.
She didnât want to experience that feeling of hope and disappointment, the pain of gaining and losing again.
So what if Xu Chengfeng was back nowâ¦
What stood between them was not his indifference, but their blood ties!
Looking at the wine glass in front of her, Zuo Yue suddenly raised her hand and downed it in one gulp. She had obviously been drinking frequently these few years, but she still choked and turned her head to cough violently.
âHey, pretty girl, donât you want to have a few drinks together?â
Zuo Yue, who was hiding in a corner and drinking a few glasses of wine, looked like a person who could be easily hooked up with in the eyes of the young hooligans in the bar.
However, Zuo Yueâs gaze did not even fall on them. She poured herself another glass of wine as if she did not hear anything and sat on the sofa to drink quietly.
âLittle beauty, is there something sad? Why donât you tell us?â@@novelbin@@
One of the hooligans stared at her figure for a while. His gaze swept across her slender, long, and straight legs in jeans. He smiled and sat down beside her, reaching out to hug her.
âGet lost.â Zuo Yue expressionlessly avoided the hooliganâs hand. She noticed that there were about four to five men in front of her. Only then did she realize that this bar didnât seem to be very safe. It was probably a place where hooligans often came to. It wasnât as well-managed as the bars under the GN Group. She immediately stood up and was about to leave.
â Hey, pretty lady, donât go. Youâre already so drunk. You canât even walk properly!â
Zuo Yue waved their hands away with a cold face, but she was really dizzy. As she walked out, she realized that she really seemed to have drunk a little too much. When those people came to her again, she had already walked to the door of the bar. She raised her hand and threw the bag in her hand at the faces of those people. At the same time, she turned her eyes and suddenly looked at Xu Chengfeng who had appeared outside the bar.
