Best Delinquent Wife's Order: Rise Again, Hubby Chapter 1119: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (204)

Chapter 1119: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (204)

Obviously, he did not expect Zuo Yue to appear here. Xu Chengfeng’s gaze lingered on her face for a long time. Although he was surprised, it was only for a moment. His gaze was still as calm as before.

A moment later, he acted as if there was no one else in the room. He got up and bent down to pick up the gla.s.s fragments by the bed.

Zuo Yue saw his actions and walked over quickly. She threw the bag in her hand aside and bent down to pick up the pieces. At the same time, she raised her other hand to stop his hand. She lowered her head and squatted by the bed.”I’ll do it.”

Xu Chengfeng lowered his eyes and watched her carefully picking up the fragments. Zuo Yue no longer looked as impatient as she was three years ago. She would not easily cut her fingers again. He looked at her for a moment and moved his hand away. He did not argue with her too much about the fragments, but he only stood up and took a step back. He stood up straight and did not lie down on the bed.

Zuo Yue quickly picked up all the debris on the floor. Then, she searched for the bathroom in her memory and found a mop to dry the water on the floor. After she was done with everything, she returned to the bedroom and saw Xu Chengfeng sitting by the bed. When she walked back to the bedroom, he looked at her.

Zuo Yue stood in front of the door and glanced at him. She asked directly,””Have you taken your medicine? How long had it been burning? What’s the temperature now?”

“How do you know about me?” Xu Chengfeng did not answer but asked a question instead. His voice was so clear that no one could discern any unnecessary emotions.

Zuo Yue faintly hooked her lips, but the smile did not reach her eyes.””How did I know? Mr. Xu should be able to guess it easily. But I’m already here, so we don’t have to talk too much. If you haven’t taken your medicine yet, I’ll go buy it now and make you something to eat.”

After saying that, Zuo Yue did not look at him anymore. She turned around and went to find the medicine box. She searched inside and found that it was filled with the medicine from back then, but it had basically expired.

Both of them had not come back in the past few years. If it was not for Ainte saying that Xu Chengfeng had been staying here recently, she would not have stepped into this place again.

Looking at the expired medicine, Zuo Yue poured everything out without saying a word. Then, she got up and went to the kitchen to cook porridge. She put the rice and water in according to the ratio and pressed the switch before she turned around and went out.

She was very familiar with the locations of the few drugstores near the villa. Even though three years had pa.s.sed, most of the drugstores had not changed their locations. She went to buy some essential medicine, then bought some fever medicine. After thinking about it, she bought some gauze and band-aids.

Although she was no longer a student at the medical university, she had not forgotten these simple bandaging techniques. Moreover, with Xu Chengfeng’s status and background, there was nothing wrong with keeping some things to stop bleeding at home.

When she returned to the villa, it was no longer as dark as before. Before she left the house, she had deliberately turned off the lights so that Xu Chengfeng could rest for a while. However, at this moment, all the lights were on, as if she had returned to three years ago.

She liked it when every corner of her house was brightly lit. There was not a single dark corner, so almost all the lights here were lit.

After entering the room, she placed the shopping bags in her hands on the table beside her. Just as she was about to change her shoes, she suddenly paused. Zuo Yue looked up and saw that Xu Chengfeng had gotten out of bed at some point. He was at the dining table in the living room, pouring warm water from the gla.s.s jug into a gla.s.s.

People who had a fever for a long time were indeed thirsty. She had come in a hurry and only remembered to help him pick up the fragments, find medicine, and make some food. She had forgotten to pour water for him. Moreover, she had been out for so long, and he only came out to drink water. It was obvious that it was very difficult for him to walk.

“The water in the gla.s.s pot should be getting cold. I felt that it wasn’t very warm. I’ll go boil some water.”As she spoke, she walked over quickly and took the medicine to the table.”Come, let me take your temperature first.”

Xu Chengfeng did not say anything. His gaze was not the same as it was a few days ago. It was as if she was just someone who was called to take care of him at the last minute. It was not easy to chase her away, but he could not get too close to her either.

Zuo Yue stuck the electronic thermometer on his forehead. Xu Chengfeng could not dodge in time, so Zuo Yue had already measured the temperature. The result showed that it was 39.7 degrees.

Jingcheng

Under the dazzling neon lights, the prosperity of Jingcheng shines. The hosting of the Olympics has given this ancient city an astonishing charm. As the national political, cultural, and international exchange center, this city with a construction history of 3000 years and history as capital for 850 years, has become a sacred place in the hearts of the people nationwide.

The bar district in the east of Jingcheng, a place that rivals the famous Beicheng bar district. At this moment, not far from the Beijing Old House Bar in a small bar nearby, under the dim street lamp, a middle-aged man is staggering down the street, casting a long shadow.

It’s the middle of summer, wearing cheap ten-buck street stall shorts, colorful like beach shorts, and the fabric is very average. You can’t expect much from something that only costs ten yuan. He is wearing a vest on his upper body. It’s white, and there’s a flower printed on the left chest. The headline is quite intimidating, Huaxia Military Commission. Below is the word ‘August 1’. The middle-aged man is unkempt, stubbly. But his face hints at a handsome figure. When he was young, the man must have been an attractive lad. However, from how he is limping, the former heartthrob appears to be a cripple now.

The alcohol in his hand is the cheapest Red Star Erguotou. Under the dim street lamp, the middle-aged man staggers onto the street, occasionally stopping to gulp down a couple of mouthfuls.

On the street, all of a sudden, an Aston Martin roars past, closely followed by a Ferrari F430. Both cars are convertibles. There are four or five men and women screaming and howling in the cars. Onlookers sigh at the sight of these children of wealthy families in the capital, maintaining their usual arrogance.

“At that moment, the two cars suddenly make a U-turn and directly drive against the traffic towards the middle-aged man. As if this is not an issue at all. The plates on the cars are equally intimidating, it’s a Jingcheng Military District license plate. No wonder these people dare to be so arrogant.

The young man in the driver’s seat of the Aston Martin gets out of the car, wearing a casual Versace T-shirt. Very short buzz cut. Two young girls are with him, one of them is in a strapless mini skirt. Underneath the thin strap, it’s like a hollow, and the black bra can be clearly seen. Her ears are full of piercings, hanging with no fewer than ten earrings; the other one is wearing a small tank top and a pair of jean shorts. Her figure is equally irresistible. What is even more unique is that she has a lip ring. Paired with this outfit, she looks quite wild.

As soon as the man gets out of the car, the two women also follow, one on his left and one on his right, nonchalantly clinging to his arms.

“Oh! Isn’t this our famous Prince Nie in Jingcheng? Why aren’t you at Dynasty Hotel? Why aren’t you at the State Guesthouse? On this kind of street, tsk tsk, drinking Red Star Erguotou that only costs three dollars a bottle. Your taste is indeed extraordinary.” The young man’s face shows not a shred of respect but instead a hint of mockery. He walks arrogantly towards the middle-aged man.

At this moment, a fat man with a beautiful woman also gets out of the Ferrari. The fat man is from Jinzhou where the coal industry prevails. Coal bosses are rich. A few years ago, there was an anecdote. The coal bosses from Jinzhou, carrying sacks of cash, went to Beijing and Hucheng to buy houses. Instead of buying houses one at a time, they bought by blocks. The extent of their booming wealth is very much apparent.

The fat man’s surname is Yan, and his given name is Hua. He shares the same surname as Yan Laoxi, a well-known Local Emperor from Jinzhou. The fat man’s family is a famous coal business in Jinzhou, owning several coal mines, and a c.o.king plant. His family sent him to study in Jingcheng. The purpose wasn’t to make him a specialist. Yan’s father only had one goal, acknowledging the political power in Jingcheng, letting the fat man use their wealth to open roads and get to know the children of high officials and dignitaries. The fat man shouldered the responsibility well. Relying on the large amount of cash in hand, he also got to know a lot of people in the circle of princes, and Yan spent hundreds of millions of Yuan, finally getting results. This young man before him was an example, and he was truly of n.o.ble pedigree.

“Young Yang, this is the waste you’re talking about? The illegitimate son of the Nie family. The one in Jingcheng who is known as the Comet?” The fat man often hangs out with the young man, naturally, he also heard some stories from within the circle, and among them, the most often mentioned is this Prince Nie.

At this moment, the middle-aged man just staggers and sits on the flowerbed, not at all bothered by Yang Zhi’s ridicule. As if they weren’t talking about him at all. He completely ignores Yang Zhi like he’s just thin air, shaking his head and seemingly immersed in the drunken numbness. Glug, he takes another gulp of Erguotou.

This move infuriated Yang Zhi, and a flash of anger crossed his face. He kicked out promptly, solidly planting his foot on the chest of the middle-aged man, sending the older man sprawling on the ground. Looking at the middle-aged man now curled up in a ball of pain, Yang Zhi raged, “Nie Zhenbang, you’re really f.u.c.king enjoying this, aren’t you?”

“Huage, what did this old guy do to offend Master Yang? How dare anyone disrespect Master Yang like this, isn’t this asking for a slap?” The beauty beside Yan the Fatty asked, quite curiously, walking on eggsh.e.l.ls as the scene unfolded.

Yang Zhi is usually polite and refined. He always sees himself as a n.o.bleman. And being a n.o.bleman means having the elegance and demeanor of a n.o.bleman. Thus, despite being from a prominent family, he hardly causes trouble in Jingcheng, aside from his penchant for women. He has a rather good reputation. But today, he is raging uncontrollably against a drunkard. This sparked much curiosity in the mistress.

Yan Hua looked at the middle-aged man, who was now collapsed in the flowers but still firmly clutching his bottle of liquor. A shade of pity crossed his face as he murmured, “Speaking of this man, you have to mention his family background. He… he’s from the Nie family. In the past, the Nie family was very famous in Jingcheng.”

“Famous? How so?” The beautiful woman, possessing an instinctive knack for pressing on with questions, continued discussing with the fat Yan.

Yan, glancing at Yang Zhi, whispered, “The Nie family… a family of founding generals. That drunkard’s grandfather was a well-known battle hardened general. This man, not being acknowledged by the Nie clan patriarch, is a b.a.s.t.a.r.d. His old man didn’t dare to bring him home. Then the man returned, naturally sought a wife of comparable status, and this matter was forgotten. But then, for some reason, this b.a.s.t.a.r.d surfaced, only to be crippled. Limping around as he walks.

From the very beginning, the patriarch of the Nie family viewed this whole situation with immense dissatisfaction, considering it a disgrace to the Nie family. And this child became the symbol of this disgrace. However, given the Nie family’s influence, they decided it wouldn’t hurt to support an idle person.”

After listening, the beauty pouted and expressed confusion: “What does that have to do with him? He isn’t the decision-maker here.”

“Nie Zhenbang, you are living quite comfortably, aren’t you? Still able to afford liquor. It must be thanks to my little aunt, huh? Tell me, you can’t even walk properly, yet you still hang on. My little aunt got married last year because of you. Can you bear to see her dragging this burden? Why don’t you just die.” Yang Zhi kicked the middle-aged man on the ground non-stop while cursing him.

There were two white pills in her fair hands.

“Eat. You’re already so old, you shouldn’t need someone to feed you.”Zuo Yue grumbled unhappily as she brought the pill closer to his mouth. Her palm was so close to his lips, but she stared at him as if she did not feel anything.”Quickly take your medicine.”

However, Xu Chengfeng suddenly raised his hand and picked up the pill in her palm. After Zuo Yue moved her hand away, he took the pill and put it into his mouth. Then, he took the cup and drank the medicine.

Although he was usually stubborn, he was at least obedient in front of her after he fell sick. The inexplicable anger in Zuo Yue’s heart was reduced by a lot. She opened the bag beside her again.”These are all the new medicines I bought. The medicines in the first aid box have expired, so I threw them all away. These are all new, and the shortest time they expire is more than a year later.”

After saying that, she heard the sound of the rice cooker in the kitchen.”The porridge is ready. I’ll get some for you.”

Zuo Yue turned around and was about to leave after she finished speaking. She had just walked quickly behind Xu Chengfeng when her wrist was suddenly tightened by a large, hot palm.

Zuo Yue stopped in her tracks. She did not turn around and tried to pull her hand out. At this moment, the strength in the man’s hand, which was originally weak, surprised her.

Just as she was about to turn around and ask him to let go, Xu Chengfeng had already turned his head to look at her indifferently. His voice drifted into her ears.

“Doesn’t that mean that we have nothing to do with each other from now on? Why did you come here?
