Chapter 996: Chapter 996: Chengfeng Asks the Moon-A Concealed Phone Call (81)

After applying the medicine, Zuo Yue obediently returned to her room and did not dare to say another word.

Xu Chengfeng sat quietly on the sofa, silently looking at the broken pieces on the ground and the drops of blood between them.

Zuo Yue returned to her room and lay on the bed, looking at the sky.

Her eyes were filled with her youngest uncle’s furious gaze. She turned over and closed her eyes, wanting to sleep, but she could not fall asleep no matter how hard she tried.

Suddenly, her phone rang. She picked up the phone and glanced at the caller ID. Zuo Yue’s lips twitched. When she picked up the phone, there was a hint of a smile in her voice.”Hello? Julie?”

“Oh my god, Zuo Yue, you’re finally willing to answer my call. Are you feeling better? You’ve already applied for leave for so long. During this period of time, we called you, but no one picked up. We were so scared that we thought something had happened to you!”

“When I was hospitalized, I was only allowed to play with my phone for half an hour every day. Every time, my uncle would bring my phone to me. I didn’t see any missed calls…” Zuo Yue whispered as she lay on the bed.

“Brother Ruisheng has been very worried about you recently. He calls you every day, but you never pick up.”Julie complained.

Zuo Yue’s expression froze.

Yin Ruisheng called her?

Could it be that every time the phone was in his uncle’s hands, he saw it? But he didn’t tell her about the phone call?

“I’m sorry, Julie. I really didn’t notice that you called me. I thought that the exam was coming up and that you were all very busy, so I didn’t contact you.”

“Alright, I forgive you. It’s good that your body is fine. How are you? Is he still very sick? It was really worrying to be on sick leave for so long.”

“She’s already recovered. She’s already gone home to recuperate. She’ll probably be able to return to school in a few days, but she can’t do too intense exercise.”

“That’s good. When you come back, our semester will be almost over, but Brother Ruisheng has been very worried about you. He hopes that after you contact us, you can tell him that you’re safe.”

Zuo Yue replied with an ” mm ” and did not say anything else.

“By the way, tomorrow is the weekend. We don’t have any classes. Where are you staying now?”

Zuo Yue was indeed very bored at home alone every day, but her uncle was here every day now. She was not sure if he would welcome her friends.

“It’s in the villa area where you sent me back last time. I’ll give you the specific address later.”After thinking for a while, Zuo Yue did not refuse.

Perhaps she could meet up with her friends and chat with them to break the deadlock between her and her uncle. At least, it would not be like today, where he looked so angry…

After hanging up the phone, Zuo Yue lay on the bed for a while. She was thinking about the phone call Yin Ruisheng gave her. Why didn’t her uncle tell her?

After thinking for a long time, she still couldn’t fall asleep. She suddenly got up and walked out of the bedroom. When she went downstairs, she realized that the mess in front of the sofa had been cleaned up. The floor was clean and bright. Other than the lack of a crystal coffee table, there was no damage or impact.

Xu Chengfeng came out of the study with a few company documents in his hands. He found that Zuo Yue had gone downstairs again. Her fingers were still wrapped in white gauze, but the blood did not seep through the gauze. The amount of bleeding should not be large, and it had already stopped.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Xu Chengfeng shifted his gaze away from her hand and looked at her again.””Why aren’t you resting?”

“Uncle, that…” Zuo Yue stood on the stairs and said uneasily,””Tomorrow, my friend wants to come here to see me.”

Xu Chengfeng’s hand, which was flipping through the company documents, paused slightly. He raised his handsome eyebrows and asked calmly,”What friend?”

“It’s my two good friends, Julie and Vera. They’re two girls. They saw that I haven’t been back to school for so long and were very worried about me. They heard that I had already returned home to recuperate, so they wanted to come and see me.”Zuo Yue said honestly.

“So be it. I’m going to the company to inspect a new project tomorrow so that you won’t be bored at home alone. It’s not bad for them to come and accompany you.”

Zuo Yue’s face was filled with joy.” Really!” After all, this is your place. It’s good that you don’t find it noisy!”

Xu Chengfeng snorted and looked at her cautious gaze again. In the end, he did not say anything.

However, he could tell that Zuo Yue had been in a good mood and condition for the past few days after she returned. She would often act coquettishly in front of him, but because of what had happened just now…

This girl was really frightened.

When she stood there and spoke to him, she did not dare to be too loud, as if she was afraid of angering him again.

“I’m not that arbitrary. You young people like to gather together. Don’t make the house too messy. I can accept it. Even if they come to see you every day, I won’t say anything.”

“Uncle, don’t worry. We won’t mess up the house. I know you’re a neat freak…”

As she spoke, Zuo Yue’s expression relaxed a lot.

Xu Chengfeng glanced at her again and turned around to return to the study. She paused and suddenly said,””Oh right, uncle… That…”

Xu Chengfeng looked back at her,”What’s wrong now?””

Zuo Yue bit her lip and looked at his calm and handsome face from afar. She said softly,””Um, when I was hospitalized, did Yin Ruisheng call me?”

Xu Chengfeng’s expression remained calm as he replied indifferently,””Yes.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Zuo Yue found it strange,[I have known Brother Ruisheng since we were young, he must have been worried about me.] You should have told me when you found his number. They’ve been worried about me all this time.”

“I forgot.” After Xu Chengfeng said that expressionlessly, he went straight into the study.

Zuo Yue was stunned.

*****

Night fell.

Zuo Yue slept for the entire afternoon. After waking up, she got up from the bed and looked at the time. She realized that she had slept until she missed dinner time.

She hurriedly got out of bed and ran out. The moment she opened the bedroom door, she seemed to smell the fragrance of food coming from downstairs. She then ran downstairs with a smile on her face.

As soon as she ran downstairs, she found that there were a few Chinese side dishes that she liked to eat on the dining table, as well as a bowl of soup that could replenish qi and blood. There was only her cutlery on the table. The dishes were still warm, but Xu Chengfeng was nowhere to be seen.

Zuo Yue sat at the table and scooped a small bowl of soup for herself. She looked in the direction of Xu Chengfeng’s bedroom and then in the direction of the study. She was not sure if he was home at the moment.

He couldn’t have gone out after helping her prepare dinner, right?

She glanced at the empty spot in front of the sofa that lacked a coffee table. She picked up the bowl and looked around. She really did not know where her uncle had gone.
