Best Delinquent Wife's Order: Rise Again, Hubby Chapter 1103: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon

Chapter 1103: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon

Xu Chengfeng’s hand became empty in an instant. He turned to look at Zuo Yue.

Zuo Yue, however, just stopped the taxi expressionlessly. She did not even intend to say goodbye and directly stepped forward to get into the taxi.

Xu Chengfeng looked at her and reached out to grab her wrist again, pulling her back from the car.

Zuo Yue staggered and almost fell into his arms. She was so shocked that she struggled to shake him off while raising her hand and looking at him coldly.”What are you doing? Let go!”

“Don’t you know me?” Xu Chengfeng did not seem to have exerted much strength in his hand, but there was a strength that made her unable to break free. He just looked at her indifferently, but his voice was clear and had a different kind of strength.

Zuo Yue immediately smiled, but it was only for a moment before she restrained her smile. She had no intention of getting entangled with him at all.”I don’t know him!”

Xu Chengfeng’s handsome brows furrowed slightly because of her cold and straightforward answer. He still held her wrist tightly.”Think about it carefully. You don’t know me?”

“Should we know each other?” Instead, Zuo Yue scolded him coldly and shook his hand forcefully.””Let go! This is our company’s front door. You’re not afraid of being affected, but I’m afraid of ruining my own reputation! Take your hands off me!”

Xu Chengfeng lowered his gaze and looked at her att.i.tude of refusing people a thousand miles away. He held her wrist and did not let go. He said calmly,”You haven’t eaten yet after work? Do you want to eat together?”

Zuo Yue immediately raised her eyes and glared at him. Her eyes were cold and mocking.”I just rejected someone else’s invitation. Where did you get the confidence to think that I would agree to go to dinner with you now? Who are you? Do I know you? Why should I eat with you? You’re not afraid of losing your appet.i.te, but I’m afraid of indigestion!

Let go of me!”

Xu Chengfeng snorted.” It’s been more than three years. You’ve grown up, matured, and become more sharp-tongued.””

Zuo Yue suddenly saw that there seemed to be a general manager in front of the company. She was only an intern now and really did not want to cause any attention near the company. It was not good for her to push Xu Chengfeng, so she could only try to free her hand from his palm and say impatiently,”Can you please behave yourself? Don’t make things difficult for me here! You helped me out just now, but I didn’t ask you to help me! You don’t have to force me to have a meal with you to thank you just because of such a small matter! They were already strangers, so they parted ways and stopped pestering each other!

I’ve already taken my place, so please take your hand away!”

“It’s just a meal. Aren’t you overthinking?”Xu Chengfeng suddenly chuckled and his voice was filled with warmth. It was as if he was not the same person as the ruthless and decisive man who left three years ago.

Zuo Yue took advantage of the moment when he loosened his grip slightly and pulled her hand out. She took two steps back and said with an ugly expression,””I’m not hungry! I’m not interested either!”

After saying that, she immediately stopped the taxi again. This time, she quickly opened the door and sat in the car. She did not give him the chance to pull her out of the car. After closing the door, she told the driver the address she was going to and even rolled down the window.

Xu Chengfeng did not stop her anymore. He just stood by the roadside and looked silently in the direction where Zuo Yue’s car had left. He watched as the car gradually accelerated until it disappeared from his sight.

“BOSS.”Ainte had finished his discussion with KIng and walked over.

Xu Chengfeng heard it, but it was as if he did not hear it. He continued to stand by the roadside and maintained his posture as he watched the car leave. His gaze was calm.

Ainte also looked in that direction, but he could no longer see Zuo Yue and the taxi. Ainte suddenly raised his hand to his mouth, cleared his throat, and pretended to cough.”I didn’t expect Miss Zuo to come to King Corporation for an internship so coincidentally. When I saw her outside the conference room today, I was also very surprised. However, I didn’t expect that in more than three years, that willful and eccentric young lady would actually transform into such a womanly girl.”

Xu Chengfeng did not say anything. The sky gradually darkened. The lights in Boston were lit up. Ainte stood behind him. He did not rush him but waited patiently.

After standing there for an unknown period of time, Xu Chengfeng slowly raised his hand and looked at the palm that had just held Zuo Yue’s hand. He slowly closed his hand and gently clenched it, but there was no longer any warmth that belonged to that young girl.

The taxi stopped at the apartment building for a moment. Zuo Yue got out of the car and walked into the apartment. As she walked, she was afraid that Manager Lin or someone else would follow her. She kept turning around to look at her surroundings. After making sure that it was safe, she entered the elevator.

After entering the house, she suddenly felt weak all over. She leaned against the door as if she had completely emptied herself. The bag in her hand fell to the ground, and her body gradually slid down the door until she finally fell to the ground.

The room was pitch-black, and the lights were not even turned on. Only the moonlight outside the window shone in.

The man’s voice kept echoing in her ears.

“You don’t know me?”

That man’s gaze, that man’s actions, and the warmth of that man’s palm.

Zuo Yue slowly raised her hand and looked at her wrist. Then, she closed her eyes and leaned her head against the door.

Didn’t he say that he would never appear in front of her again? Didn’t he say that he would never set foot in the United States again?

Since she had left the company, why did she appear at the company she had just started her internship at three years later?

Even if they occasionally met, shouldn’t they treat each other as strangers?

Why did he suddenly come over and pull her back? Why did he ask her in that tone?

After sitting quietly for a long time, Zuo Yue slowly stood up and turned on the light. She turned around and walked to the wine cabinet. She took out a gla.s.s and half a bottle of red wine. She poured half a gla.s.s of wine and put it to her mouth, but she paused for a moment and did not drink it.

For the past three years, she had relied on alcohol to numb herself every time she suffered from insomnia. Now that the person had appeared in front of her and was no longer just in the memories she hated, was there a need for her to drink alcohol to numb herself?

In the end, they could only be strangers. If she took a step further, she would be doomed.

Zuo Yue thought for a while and finally turned around to pour the wine into the toilet bowl. She watched as the wine was flushed away, then turned around and put the cup aside. She picked up the bag on the ground and took out her phone and a few useful doc.u.ments that she had brought back from the company.

There were two messages on his phone. One was a junk message, and the other was from Manager Lin.

[Zuo Yue, I just found out that the man is the president of the KP Group who came to the company to inspect the cooperation today. Do you know him?]
