Chapter 1145: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (230)

The moment the voice came from behind, Zuo Yue’s footsteps stopped, and the blood in her body was about to freeze.

“What’s wrong?”

Bai Hao saw that her face had suddenly lost all color and thought that she was feeling unwell. He quickly raised his hand and stroked her forehead.”Did you catch a cold? Or is there something wrong? Why do you look so pale all of a sudden?”

The voice just now was not far behind them. Zuo Yue raised her hand and pulled Bai Hao. Under his inexplicable and worried expression, she pulled him into the side hall that led to the bathroom.

After entering the side hall, Zuo Yue leaned against the wall and secretly peeked out with half of her face exposed.

She saw the familiar figure walk in from the front door. Ainte and the two bodyguards followed him at a fixed distance, observing the people and movements around them from time to time as usual.

Sure enough, wherever there was an @, there would definitely be Xu Chengfeng. Zuo Yue raised her hand and secretly bit her finger. When Xu Chengfeng approached, she was so frightened that she quickly turned around and leaned against the wall to stabilize herself. Then, she reached out and pulled Bai Hao to her side to block herself.

When Xu Chengfeng walked past them, Zuo Yue did not notice her own movements at all. She just leaned into Bai Hao’s embrace, her pair of eyes peeking in that direction through the area below his neck.

It was only when Xu Chengfeng walked inside that she let out a soft sigh of relief. However, she felt that she was about to lose all her strength.

Bai Hao had been in a daze as he allowed her to play with him. Standing in front of her, he lowered his eyes to look at Zuo Yue who was taking the initiative to lean into his embrace for the first time. Even though he did not know what she was hiding from now, such an intimate action still made him smile a little. He slowly placed his hand on her shoulder and patted it gently twice as if to comfort her.”Alright, what are you hiding from? So careful? Could it be that he had really met a relative?”

“They’re not just relatives, they’re enemies.”Zuo Yue instinctively muttered. When she came back to her senses, she realized that she was leaning against Bai Hao’s embrace and leaning on his shoulder, looking like a little bird that depended on someone.

Moreover, this kid actually had his hand on her shoulder, and he was slowly going down to hug her.

She suddenly took a step back and gently slapped his hand away.””Go, don’t touch it.”

Bai Hao immediately had a disappointed look. He first rubbed his nose, then turned his head to look outside.”Who were you hiding from just now? What enemy?”

“No one.” Although Zuo Yue was uneasy, she had already come and entered the venue. It was indeed not good to leave like this.

Even if it was a banquet like this, with so many people and such a large venue, she would just have to be careful and avoid them. Besides, someone of Xu Chengfeng’s status would not casually appear in the venue. He would probably be resting in some lounge and occasionally meet people who came to see him personally. He would not casually come out and wander around the venue.

Thinking about it, he was not the kind of person who liked to participate in such a lively event.

Zuo Yue forced herself to calm down. When Bai Hao was still looking into the distance with a strange expression, she stretched out her hand and tugged at his sleeve.”Alright, stop looking. You don’t know him anyway. Just keep a low profile later.”

Bai Hao looked at her again and thought for a while. He did not say anything, but it was obvious that he did not want to take the high-profile route. Zuo Yue understood this. After all, she had a deep understanding of this Bai Hao who had pursued her for three years. Otherwise, she would not have agreed to his request so easily.

When the two of them walked in hand in hand, it was already full of guests. Celebrities from the business and political circles and the entertainment industry were standing in groups of three to five, raising their glasses and chatting.

Bai Hao brought Zuo Yue inside. As soon as they walked in, they suddenly met a middle-aged woman who looked very noble and a young girl. When the middle-aged woman and the young girl saw Bai Hao, they both smiled and came over to greet him. The girl’s face also turned red, but when she approached, she saw Zuo Yue’s hand holding Bai Hao’s arm. The sweet smile on her face instantly disappeared, and the gaze she looked at Zuo Yue with was also filled with hostility in an instant.

Very good. There was no need to ask. Just from the eyes of those two women, he could analyze that they should be a mother and daughter. Moreover, this sweet and cute girl in front of him should be Bai Hao’s fiancée.

Perhaps she could not be considered a fiancée, but to Zuo Yue, she felt that she had specially come today to destroy the marriage of an unmarried couple.

No matter how much she thought about it, she felt guilty.

However, this pair of female mothers ‘gazes weren’t very polite. Zuo Yue just stood by Bai Hao’s side and smiled as she nodded at them.

“Mrs. Cui.” Bai Hao politely nodded his head to the middle-aged woman with a somewhat ugly expression. Then, he turned to look at the girl with hostility in her eyes.”Xiaoxiao.”

“Bai Hao, you…” The person called Mrs. Cui looked at him in surprise and then looked at Zuo Yue.””Excuse me, may I ask this lady?”

“This is my classmate. Before coming to the banquet, I found out that she was also invited today. It just so happened that we were on the way, so we came together.”Bai Hao said with a smile. At the same time, he turned to look at the calm Zuo Yue.”Why don’t you introduce yourself?”

Zuo Yue smiled without batting an eyelid. She looked at the mother and daughter who were unhappy and said softly,””Hello, I’m Zuo Yue.”

“Zuo Yue? Your surname is Zuo?” Before the young lady could react, Mrs. Cui’s face was filled with surprise.”Which Zuo? What’s your relationship with the Zuo family in Los Angeles?”

“I don’t have any special relationship with you, it’s just that…” Zuo Yue paused for a while before she continued to ask,” Does Mrs. Cui know Zuo Hancheng?”

Upon hearing Zuo Hancheng’s name, Mrs. Cui’s face stiffened.””You?”

“I’m his biological sister.”

Saying that she was the granddaughter of the Zuo family seemed to be too boastful, so she decided to keep a low profile and borrow her low-key but well-known brother.

After hearing Zuo Yue’s words, Bai Hao looked at Mrs. Cui again. As expected, he saw all kinds of unpredictable expressions in Mrs. Cui’s eyes. Then he looked at Zuo Yue again and saw her holding Bai Hao’s hand intimately. Although he was a little angry, the Zuo family in Los Angeles was indeed not someone to be trifled with, especially in the Chinese business world.

Cui Fu was afraid that his expression would be too stiff, so he found an excuse to pull his daughter away. The girl called Xiao Xiao was still glaring at Bai Hao with resentment.”Bai Hao, what do you mean? When I asked you to accompany me to the banquet, you said you didn’t have time. Now you’re here with a female classmate? What do you mean? Tell me clearly!”
