Zuo Yue quickly retracted her gaze and lowered her head to quickly eat her toast. However, because she was eating too quickly, she accidentally bit her tongue. She immediately hissed in pain and quickly took a sip of milk with a pained expression.
Xu Chengfeng glanced at her and then at the toast and jam on her plate.ââDo you like sweets? How could such a sweet thing be applied so much?â
âOh?â Zuo Yue swallowed the milk and looked up at him. She suddenly said,ââMy interest in sweets is actually not that great! I prefer spicy food! A few years ago, someone brought us a spicy hot pot from China. I ate it for a few days in a row, and my mouth was so spicy that it was bubbling. However, my family restricted me from eating such spicy things since then. However, Iâve always been thinking about the spicy hot pot in China. I canât eat authentic hot pot in Americaâ¦â
Xu Chengfeng suddenly said coldly,â Iâm just reminding you to eat less jam. Eating too much sweet food is not good for your health. I didnât try to understand your hobbies. You donât have to tell me so much.ââ
â..â
Zuo Yue was so angry that she did not say anything. She continued to chew on the toast in front of her as if she was venting her anger.
Xu Chengfeng realized that the little girl who was still willing to talk back to him a few days ago suddenly stopped talking back today. She only had a sullen expression as she ate. His lips unconsciously curled up slightly.âIf itâs not enough, thereâs still toast in the kitchen. You can go and bake it yourself.â
âIâm full!â As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Yue suddenly stood up, put down the cutlery in her hand, and took out a tissue to wipe her mouth. She turned around and ran out quickly.
Xu Chengfeng looked at the little girl who was running out of the villa in a studentâs dress. His handsome eyebrows raised slightly, and he sighed and smiled after a moment.
*****
âZuo Yue, your uncle should have returned from his business trip, right? Did you go back to the villa and listen to him?â
Zuo Yue received a call from her mother, Xu Yuan, at school. She stood by the school lawn and looked at the vast lawn in front of her with a long sigh.âYouâve already frozen my card. I had no choice but to look for him even if I didnât want to, so guess if I listened to him obediently?â
Xu Yuan could hear the displeasure in her words and immediately smiled.âWhatâs wrong? Are you unhappy?â
âNo, youâre my mother. How can I resist your decision? How would I dare to be unhappy? But Mom, how many times have I met that uncle? How dare you freeze my own! I know you are forcing me to follow him and live in Boston, but we are still strangers, how can you be so assured? What if he doesnât care about me at allâ¦â
âNo, I know your uncle very well. If he canât make me feel at ease, who else can? You just have to go to school there obediently and wait until you graduate before making any requests!â
âArenât you afraid that something will happen to me if Iâm taken care of?â Zuo Yue was furious.!â
âWhat problem could there be?â
âI⦠Heâ¦â Zuo Yue held the phone for a long time but could not find a word to describe it. The scene of her falling on Xu Chengfengâs body jumped into her mind in an instant. She immediately raised her hand to cover her forehead with a headache.
What should he say?
What should he say?
As an eighteen-year-old girl with normal puberty hormones, how could she describe the feeling of living under the same roof with a man who was only nine years older than her?!!
âIs it because Chengfengâs personality is colder and youâre not used to his temper?âXu Yuan could roughly hear something fishy from Zuo Yueâs stuttering attitude, but she did not go in the same direction as Zuo Yueâs thoughts at all. Instead, she said with concern,ââYouâve been too spoiled in the Zuo family for so many years. Now that youâre out, once no one smiles at you all day long, youâll feel wronged. This canât do. Moreover, your uncleâs temper is already good enough.â
Was his temper good enough?
Ha! Ha! Da!
Zuo Yue felt that she was on the verge of exploding due to insomnia. She took two deep breaths and said,ââMom, if I want to have a boyfriend or something now, you wonât object, right?â
After a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, Xu Yuanâs somewhat gloomy voice sounded.âHow long have you been in Boston and you already want a boyfriend? Who was it? Do you understand the other party? Familiar? Do you know her well?
Did the other party chase you? Which country are you from? How oldâ¦â
âAiya, Mom, I was just saying that casually. Stop nagging. I have to go to class. Iâll hang up first. Bye!â
â Anyway, Zuo Yue, let me tell you this. If you really want to get a boyfriend, I wonât stop you. But you must let your little uncle take a look first and let him check on you. Otherwise, youâre such a silly girl. Youâre a silly girl who still has to help count the money after being sold. Iâm really worriedâ¦â
â..âZuo Yuehen rolled his eyes and hung up the phone.
Was she her biological mother? Are you sure this is your biological mother? Her mother was a Chinese woman who had grown up in America, but she had the heart of a Chinese auntie!
If she didnât hurry up and get a boyfriend, was she going to think about what happened last night every day?
She was still an eighteen-year-old girl, and her heart could not take it anymore. She could not be as calm as Xu Chengfeng. When she had breakfast in the morning, she could feel her heart beating wildly even if she took a second look at him. She could not help but let her imagination run wild.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Get a boyfriend, get a boyfriend, she must get a boyfriend and quickly fall in love to enrich her 18-year-old life. She must not turn her 18-year-old life into a nightmare because of Xu Chengfengâ¦
Zuo Yue kept repeating this idea to go back to class. After class, Julie and Weina still had to continue working at the business street. Although Zuo Yue had been explicitly forbidden by Xu Chengfeng, even if she did not go to work, it should not be too much to accompany her good friend to sit at the business street for a while.
..
5:30 PM.
Zuo Yue was sitting outside a milk coffee shop in the middle of the commercial street. She was holding a cup of warm milk coffee in her hand. When she saw Julie and Weina working hard on the streets, she suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of guiltâ¦
They were clearly working together yesterdayâ¦
The big screen in front of the commercial street suddenly showed a live broadcast of a technology companyâs new product signing venue, as well as the participation of people from all walks of life in the country. Zuo Yue heard the words of the GN Group and suddenly looked up at the big screen. Suddenly, in a corner of the screen, she saw a familiar handsome figure surrounded by people from all walks of life.
Although it was just a flash, the female companion beside him suddenly turned her head and smiled faintly at the people around her.
Zuo Yue raised her eyebrows.
Still not admitting that she was his girlfriend? They had just appeared here yesterday, and today, she was participating in such an important signing as a female companion!
