Chapter 1022: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Suspicion (107)
“Like what?” Xu Chengfeng asked coldly.
Seeing Xu Chengfeng’s indifferent attitude, Xu Yuan knew that he never liked others to get too involved in his private affairs.
But that figure just now…
Xu Yuan thought for a moment and did not say anything else. She took the stack of documents and turned to leave. However, just as she was about to leave the office, she suddenly picked up her phone and looked for the number while saying,”I rushed over today and had to fly back to Los Angeles in the middle of the night. I don’t know if Zuo Yue is out of school now. At least we should have dinner together before leaving. Last time, she was so seriously ill, but that brat didn’t even call me. I have to teach her a lesson when I call her out for dinner.”
Just as Xu Yuan finished speaking, Zuo Yue remembered her phone. She hurriedly took out her phone from her bag, but it was too late. Her phone rang instantly. When she saw that it was her mother’s phone number on the screen, Zuo Yue felt a chill down her spine. She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. She even forgot to hang up and just stared at the phone screen blankly.
Xu Yuan’s entire body trembled when she heard Zuo Yue’s ringtone. She turned her eyes to the direction behind her and looked at the place where the ringtone had sounded. Her gaze was fixed in the direction of the office desk. Then, she gradually turned to look at Xu Chengfeng, her eyes filled with shock and loneliness.
Zuo Yue lowered her head in frustration under her desk. She hated herself for not turning her phone to silent earlier. She bit her lip tightly and was suddenly extremely afraid.
However, Xu Chengfeng was standing at the side of the desk. His expression was calm and indifferent as if nothing had happened. He turned around and walked slowly to the desk. He casually opened the drawer and took the opportunity when Xu Yuan could not see the scene behind his desk to easily pick up the phone in Zuo Yue’s hand. At the same time, he closed the drawer and raised the phone. He said expressionlessly,”You really should discipline your daughter’s habit of forgetting things. When that girl came to my office last night and waited for me to bring her to dinner, she left her phone in my office. Just in time, when you see her tonight, pass it to her for me. I still have something to do tonight, so I might not be able to attend the dinner between you and your daughter.”
The stiffness in Xu Yuan’s eyes gradually eased as she walked toward him.
However, Xu Yuan’s footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Zuo Yue’s figure, which was hiding under the desk, became stiffer and stiffer.
When Xu Yuan walked to the office desk, she still looked at the wide desk with a lonely and suspicious gaze. However, Zuo Yue usually had the habit of losing things carelessly. She would often be so careless that she would lose her phone or forget it somewhere.
This kind of explanation was indeed the most perfect and most suitable for Zuo Yue’s personality. However, after Xu Yuan took the phone, she glanced at the missed calls on it and then looked at the indifference and impatience in Xu Chengfeng’s eyes.” I heard that Zuo Yue has been hospitalized for a period of time after she got pneumonias. I haven’t had time to call her recently. That girl, she…”
“I’m only responsible for taking care of her, ensuring that she’s not sick and that her studies aren’t delayed too much. This is my responsibility. As for the rest, you should ask her yourself and not ask too many questions here.”Xu Chengfeng’s attitude was still so indifferent that no one could tell his emotions.” I’m her uncle, not her father. There’s no need to focus all your attention on a little girl.”
