Chapter 1062: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (147)
“You want to go back to the Xu family like this? Let the elders of the Xu family see? Let them know that you went out and got drunk a few days after your grandfather passed away?”Xu Chengfeng completely ignored her unreasonable words.””I haven’t even held you accountable for running out to drink, and you dare to question me?”
Zuo Yue glared at him. What right do you have to control me!”
“You don’t want me to care about your boycotts? Don’t drink and cause so much trouble. Hasn’t the Xu family been very peaceful these few days? Wouldn’t it be good to continue like this? Time will be the best antidote. Why do you have to force yourself to this point?”Xu Chengfeng looked at him seriously.” Zuo Yue, this is the last time I’m going to fool around with you. When we return to the Xu family tomorrow, you’ll explain your whereabouts to your mother. I won’t interfere in your affairs anymore.””
After saying that, Xu Chengfeng turned around decisively as if he did not intend to spare any face.
Zuo Yue stood stiffly behind the sofa, one hand on the back of the sofa to support her body from falling down. When she heard Xu Chengfeng’s footsteps, she did not turn back, but her hand quietly tightened on the sofa.
“You’re only willing to come back after Grandpa passes away. What if I’m about to die? If I’m about to die too, will you come back to see me?”She did not know if Xu Chengfeng had heard her, so she lowered her head and muttered to herself.
“Didn’t you say that you don’t want to be a burden to me anymore?” Xu Chengfeng stopped in his tracks. And how dangerous it is to be by my side? Since he said that he wanted to let go, why was he still talking so much nonsense now?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Zuo Yue chuckled.” That’s right. I’m just like that. I say I’ll let go, but I’m not willing to let go in my heart. In the end, some people leave so easily, as if we’ll never see each other again. Why do I still remember such a heartless person?””
Zuo Yue was extremely dizzy. She forced herself to stand by the sofa, took a deep breath, and suddenly turned around.””So since you can be so heartless, why do you care if I drink or not today? Even if I return to the Xu family in this state, it’s my own business to be scolded by the elders of the Xu family and scolded by my mother.”
As she spoke, she lifted her hand from the back of the sofa and walked towards the door with her weak steps.
Xu Chengfeng suddenly turned to look at her. He saw that she had tried so hard to maintain her composure for so many days, but in the end, she still revealed her stubborn temper after being drunk. He simply turned around and walked over to grab her wrist.
Zuo Yue stumbled into his arms and struggled to the side.
Xu Chengfeng did not hug her forcefully. He merely lowered his eyes and looked at her with an extremely cold and distant gaze. He warned,”This is the mountainous villa area in the northern suburbs of Los Angeles. There are no taxis around here at this time, and I won’t send you back drunk. If you’re not afraid of an accident, just leave.”
Zuo Yue turned to glare at him, but Xu Chengfeng had already put his hand away expressionlessly.
“Xu Chengfeng, how did you do it?”Zuo Yue looked at him in a daze.” How did you manage to be so gentle and passionate before you left? How did you manage to be so cold and heartless after you left?””
“Keep your distance and maintain your rationality. This is the best outcome.”Xu Chengfeng looked at her calmly.” I will make a mistake once, but I will never make a mistake a second time.””
Zuo Yue stood rooted to the ground in a daze. Xu Chengfeng turned around to pour some water and placed it on the coffee table.””There’s no hangover medicine prepared here. When the water is no longer hot, drink a few more glasses to dilute the wine in your stomach and rest early.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Chengfeng brushed past her with a cold face and walked inside.

The next morning, Zuo Yue woke up with a terrible headache. She sat up with her head in her hands and looked at the unfamiliar bedroom again. She did not have a clear impression of what happened last night, but she could still vaguely remember it.
She seemed to have drunk a lot, and then John Junior used her phone to call Xu Chengfeng.
After Xu Chengfeng arrived, he took her away…
Zuo Yue lifted the blanket and got off the bed. She looked at the unfamiliar room again and opened the door. She did not see Xu Chengfeng.
She seemed to have quarreled with him last night, but she could not remember what they had quarreled about.
Zuo Yue rubbed her head as she walked around the living room. This place was very unfamiliar, but it had everything. It did not look like a newly bought house, but like someone had lived here before.
Moreover, judging from the many decorations and traces of daily life, this seemed to be the residence of a single man. After walking for a while, she went to the bathroom and turned on the tap to wash her face with cold water. She forced down the headache and walked back to the living room after she woke up a little.
She seemed to recall that when she and Xu Chengfeng returned to Los Angeles, she had taken the initiative to bring him around Los Angeles.
However, his tone at that time did not sound like he had never lived in Los Angeles.
On the contrary, he seemed to be very familiar with Los Angeles, but he did not explain too much. The others did not seem to know either.
So this was where he had been staying in Los Angeles all these years?
Zuo Yue walked to the window and looked outside. It looked like a villa area in a scenic area. The distance between the villas was very far. There was a car parked in the manor in front. It was the dark gray Porsche that she was very familiar with.
She looked around again. Since the car was still there, it meant that Xu Chengfeng did not leave her alone.
Could it be that he was still angry because she had been drinking yesterday and had said something irrational to argue with him?
What did they fight about?
Did she say anything nonsense?
He had been trying his best to keep his distance for so many days, but he did not expect that after drinking too much, that nosy bastard John Junior would actually call Xu Chengfeng over.
Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle.
Zuo Yue scratched her head in frustration and returned to the bedroom with a gloomy expression.
She rummaged through the bedroom for a long time but could not find any clothes to wear. The clothes she wore yesterday smelled of alcohol and she was dressed in black. Looking at that black clothes reminded her of her grandfather’s death and she could not bring herself to be in a good mood.
She turned around and found Xu Chengfeng’s room. When she opened the wardrobe, she saw some of his clothes inside. Although it looked like he hadn’t lived here for a long time, and the few shirts here were still in last year’s style, there wasn’t much difference.
She picked up a black shirt that seemed to be the longest, then turned around and went straight into the bathroom.
After taking a shower, Zuo Yue felt that her hangover had finally subsided a lot. She put on the black shirt, blew her hair until it was half-dry, and walked out.
Just as she walked into the living room, the door not far away was suddenly opened from the outside.
