Best Delinquent Wife's Order: Rise Again, Hubby Chapter 971: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-He's Minding (56)

Chapter 971: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-He’s Minding (56)

For the rest of the day, it was Uncle John and his wife who went to Grandpa’s room to sit down and chat, while Little John, who was about the same age as Zuo Yue, found a place to chat with her alone in Xu’s house.

Zuo Yue didn’t feel that they were very familiar with each other, so they didn’t talk much. However, Little John kept chatting with her as if he had started a chatterbox. They talked about the interesting things he had done abroad over the years, about what he had seen and heard when he was studying in England, and about some opinions on other countries, as well as about the wars in some countries.

Although they were both normal men and these topics were not boring, Zuo Yue could not gather her energy. She just sat opposite John Junior and listened to him. She supported her chin with one hand and looked at him. She could only see his mouth moving, but she could not hear what he said.

“Are you not feeling well?” John Junior saw that she was listless and asked with concern,””Do you want to go out for a walk? I haven’t been to the Xu family’s house for many years. I remember that there’s a small golf course near the parking lot in front.”

“Sure,” It just so happened that Zuo Yue also felt bored, so she stood up and walked out with John Junior.

The small football field in the Xu residence was a feature of the Xu residence. Many years ago, when Grandpa was still healthy, he would often invite some old friends to play football at home in order to exercise his body. However, in recent years, because Grandpa’s health was not good, other than the servants who usually cleaned up, no one had played football for a long time.

John Junior was very athletic. Although he had a boyish personality, he was still like a child like Zuo Yue. He had been playing with the ball since he arrived at the court. There was a basketball hoop beside him. After the servant brought the basketball over, John Junior had been performing shooting.

Zuo Yue sat beside the court and watched him shoot, but her mind was in a mess.

It was not until Little John had thrown the basket for a while that he turned around and sat beside her. Because the bench next to her was not very s.p.a.cious, the two of them sat very close to each other. Zuo Yue was still in a daze and did not notice how close Little John was sitting.

“Zuo Yue, you’re already eighteen years old, right? Don’t you have a boyfriend?” John Junior asked as he turned his head to her while playing with the ball in his hand.

Zuo Yue turned to look at him. The two of them were very close because of their sitting posture. She looked at the glimmer in John Junior’s eyes and smiled. She asked jokingly,””What’s wrong? If I really haven’t found a boyfriend yet, do you still want to try it out with me?”

“Tsk, if I really wanted to try it out with you, then you’d definitely have picked up a treasure. How can you say that I’m just making up the numbers? Don’t think that I don’t understand Chinese idioms. When I was studying in England, I studied Chinese. Although I’m not that proficient, I understand the meaning of those idioms.”

Seeing that he was still as mischievous as when he was young, Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at him with a smile.

Little John suddenly reached out and put his arm around her shoulder like a good friend. Zuo Yue felt that he was not taking advantage of her, but just naturally put his arm around her shoulder. Although she was not used to it, she did not immediately shake him off. Instead, she raised her eyebrows.”Why? Aren’t you afraid that my grandfather will jump out of bed and break your legs if you touch the Xu family?”

“Tsk, I didn’t take advantage of you.” John Junior put his arm around her shoulder and handed the ball to her.””I can tell that you’re in a bad mood. Do you want to play basketball with me? Playing basketball to vent his emotions would make him feel much better.”

Zuo Yue didn’t take it and just pushed him with a smile.””Go fight it yourself.”

“Tsk, how disappointing.” John Junior snorted and let go of her. He bounced the ball and returned to the basketball hoop to continue shooting.

Zuo Yue didn’t notice that a car had just driven in from outside the Xu family’s house. She didn’t notice that the car had stopped at the parking lot next to the stadium. She also didn’t notice that someone had come out of the car and looked in this direction.

She looked at John Junior’s flying figure under the basketball court and felt infected by his athletic cells. She couldn’t help but laugh as she sat beside him, and she felt much better. John Junior suddenly turned to look at her and smiled back at her when he saw her smiling.

This entire scene was witnessed by everyone but Zuo Yue did not notice it.

On the parking lot, Ainte, who had followed Xu Chengfeng out early in the morning, looked in that direction. Then, he looked at Xu Chengfeng, who had only seen everything with his eyes and remained calm. He couldn’t help but say,”Boss, your niece is quite popular. That kid seems to have a good relationship with her.”

Xu Chengfeng didn’t say anything. Just as Ainte was itching to go over and play basketball with him, Xu Chengfeng said calmly,””Aren’t you going to meet someone at the Sweet Hotel in the afternoon?”

When Ainte thought of the important matters he had to attend to, he paused for a moment and turned to look at Xu Chengfeng.”Boss, aren’t you coming with us?”

Xu Chengfeng did not answer, but from his expression, it seemed that he did not plan to go out again this afternoon.

Xu Chengfeng had already planned to fill up his schedule this morning and would not return until nightfall. It was rare for Boss to change his mind midway.

Ainte looked meaningfully at the young man and woman who were smiling at each other on the court. He smiled and turned back to the car. Two minutes later, the car drove away.

Only then did Zuo Yue notice the sound of a car coming from the parking lot. She was about to look over when she suddenly heard John Junior’s low cry. She immediately looked at John Junior, only to see that for some reason, his hand had tilted, and the basketball that he was about to throw suddenly fell far to the side.

John Junior turned around and was about to pick up the basketball, but he only took two quick steps in that direction when he suddenly saw something and stopped.

Zuo Yue followed his line of sight and turned her head. She was shocked to see Xu Chengfeng, who had returned at some point, standing outside the court. He was holding the basketball that he had just run out of.

The moment she saw Xu Chengfeng and the basketball in his hand, Zuo Yue immediately stood up.

However, Xu Chengfeng’s gaze did not fall on her. It was as if he did not pay attention to her, or as if he was just pa.s.sing by and picked up a ball that ran to his feet.

“Uncle…” Zuo Yue muttered softly, but seeing that he was not looking at her, she did not walk over.

John Junior was stunned for a moment before he smiled and walked over.”Thank you. My hand suddenly cramped and I didn’t hold it firmly. The ball suddenly flew out.”

Xu Chengfeng only smiled faintly. There was no other expression on his face except for the smile that was more appropriate. Before John Junior could get close, he casually patted the ball on the ground twice.

When he saw Xu Chengfeng’s posture, John Junior looked at him in surprise. He didn’t expect Xu Chengfeng to be a professional. In an instant, he said excitedly,””Do you want to fight together?”
