Chapter 1025: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-This is the Second Time (110)

“President Xu.”

Xu Chengfeng rushed to the first floor of the company, but he still did not see Zuo Yue. When he turned around to look at the staff at the front desk, the staff nodded respectfully at him and walked forward to wait for instructions.

“Have you seen the girl who often comes to look for me?”

“Are you talking about Miss Zuo? She just went out. When she went out, she didn’t look too good. We were also worried that Miss Zuo was unhappy about something.”

When Xu Chengfeng heard this, he frowned and said calmly,””Which direction?”

“I’m not sure. The square opposite the company is outside. We didn’t go out, so we didn’t notice it.”

Xu Chengfeng did not say anything else. He turned around and strode out of the company’s main entrance.

It was December in Boston. The sky was filled with snowflakes as they walked towards the square in front of them. There were only a few pedestrians passing by. Zuo Yue did not walk far. She did not bring her phone with her. She was only wearing the light-colored cashmere coat that she came from. She sat quietly by the marble altar opposite the square. She did not move at all. No one knew what she was thinking.

Xu Yuan was not nearby. Xu Chengfeng slowly walked down the steps in front of the square and looked in Zuo Yue’s direction. He walked towards her step by step.

An English song was playing in front of a shop across the square. Zuo Yue was engrossed in listening to it, and her mind was in a mess because of the lyrics.

If her mother hadn’t suddenly appeared and almost found out, she wouldn’t have thought so much. Things that she had never thought about before, and even things that she didn’t plan to think about now, all invaded her mind in that moment.

A man like Xu Chengfeng would rarely lie to others, right? It was rare to be caught off guard like this, right?

He had hidden it from her mother because of her. He had lied because of her. Even though he looked calm as if nothing had happened, even though he had everything under control, even though his mother had completely dispelled her doubts in the end.

However, Zuo Yue felt really guilty.

This was just the beginning. She had just poked through a layer of window paper when her mother almost realized that what she had always wanted was more…She finally understood why he had always been so affectionate and polite.

Firstly, it was to protect her, and secondly…He was giving them a chance to retreat, but he didn’t want to send her to a dead end.

However, the more clear-headed he was, the more Zuo Yue’s heart ached.

The snow that filled the sky fell on her face. Zuo Yue took a deep breath and lifted her hand to brush away the snow on her slightly cold face. Although it had melted by the side of her fingers, she still casually wiped it away. However, from afar, it looked like she was wiping away tears.

It was only when she felt as if two pairs of eyes were watching her that Zuo Yue paused and turned her eyes abruptly. She suddenly saw Xu Chengfeng standing a few meters away from her. There was a narrow zebra crossing between the side of the square where he was standing and her side. The crowd passed by and looked at each other.

Xu Chengfeng did not walk over immediately, but his gaze remained on her, as if he had already seen all her emotions at that moment.

The man was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. He looked like a high-class elite in society. His handsome face, clean black hair, tall figure, perfect temperament, and calm aura were everything that belonged to this man named Xu Chengfeng.

Zuo Yue looked at him. She did not get up to avoid him, nor did she get up to walk back. Instead, she sat there stiffly.

It was not until the crowd on the zebra crossing passed by that the street lamps on both sides changed. Xu Chengfeng slowly walked over until he was in front of her step by step. The exquisite Italian handmade leather shoes stood in front of her. Zuo Yue lowered her gaze and stopped on his shoes and pants. In the end, she slowly raised her gaze. Because she was sitting a little short, she could only look up at the man standing in the snow in front of her.

“Uncle.” Zuo Yue looked at him hesitantly, but after calling out to him, she suddenly did not know how to continue. She could only purse her lips and look at him.

“It’s snowing.” Xu Chengfeng said.

“Yes.” Zuo Yue lowered her eyes.

“The weather is very cold. It’s suitable for waking up.” “Zuo Yue, are you awake?” Xu Chengfeng’s voice was very soft.”

Zuo Yue did not say anything. She clasped her hands tightly together.”You’ve been unwilling to cross the line just to prepare for this day?”

Xu Chengfu did not answer and only looked at her.””I am responsible for your life, responsible for your future. Even if there was a moment when I fell for it and almost lost control, Zuo Yue, you are still too young. I cannot ruin your life because I lost control for a moment.”

“Don’t say that. You just have to tell me that you’ve been using this method to compromise all this time. Then, you waited for me to slowly come to terms with it and let go, right?”Zuo Yue looked at him with red eyes.” You just have to tell me the answer. I don’t want to hear anything else. I don’t need comfort!””

Xu Chengfeng looked at him calmly.””I had this thought before, but it was indeed earlier than I imagined.”

“A little earlier…You can always be so calm, but now I can hear the regret in your words.”Zuo Yue suddenly chuckled.” You lied to my mother for me today. Uncle, how many times have you lied in your life?””

Xu Chengfeng was silent for a moment until Zuo Yue looked up at him again. He looked down at her and said softly,””Twice.”

Zuo Yue was stunned for a moment.

“The first time was when I was young and got together with the Russian mafia. At that time, there was nothing. In order to survive, I had to give up my studies. I lied that I had to leave Russia because I had to reunite with the Xu family in the United States, so I successfully left school. However, I didn’t return to the Xu family. Instead, I stepped into the Russian border and embarked on the dark road of life.”

” The second time,” Xu Chengfeng said softly,” was when I was in the office with your mother for a few minutes.”

Zuo Yue immediately bit her lip. She could not stop her tears, but in the end, she forced them to stop. She turned her head, wanting to smile, but she could not laugh. She could not cry either.

The first time he lied, it was because he wanted to choose the path of life. The second time he lied, it was because he wanted to protect her because of her willfulness.

In the end, she was in the wrong position because she had been too proactive in this relationship that should not have existed.

Zuo Yue’s hands that were hidden in her coat sleeves gradually tightened.””Uncle, if the matter between the two of us is really discovered one day, what will you do? You want me to hide like today? Are you going to face it alone? Or are there other options?”
