Chapter 954: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-His Identity (39)
The touch of his hand instantly woke her up.
She was actually lying on Xu Chengfeng’s lap. The moment she got up in a hurry, she awkwardly moved her leg to the side.”I’m sorry. I don’t know why I fell asleep.”
Seeing that she was awake, Xu Chengfeng did not say much. However, he had been under the little girl’s pillow for a few hours. In order not to wake her up, his legs, which he had been holding back and not moving, did feel a little numb. However, he only casually brushed his hand over his legs and said calmly,”It’s inevitable that you’ll fall asleep in the car at night. There’s no need to apologize to me.”
“I’m talking about the matter of me sleeping on your leg…” Zuo Yue couldn’t continue speaking. The emotions she had before she fell asleep were still lingering in her heart. She pursed her lips.
Xu Chengfeng did not say much when he saw her uneasiness. He only looked out of the window calmly at the sky that was gradually becoming brighter after dawn and said softly,”We’ll reach the Xu family soon. Do you want to tidy yourself up before going back to the Xu family, or do you want to go back directly?”
Zuo Yue raised her hand and touched her head. It was probably because she had slept in the car for a night. Her face might be a little greedier than usual, and her hair might be messy and needed to be taken care of.
“It’s fine. Just go back like this. Anyway, we’re going back to see Grandpa. It’s not a holiday. We don’t need to see too many outsiders.”Zuo Yue said, but she still casually tidied her hair. She could look slovenly, but she could not be too messy. Otherwise, her mother would definitely scold her when she went back.
Until Zuo Yue took out a cleansing wipe from her bag and wiped her face. As she wiped, she turned to look at Xu Chengfeng.”Has your fever subsided? Is your cold better? She had only taken a few pills, and she didn’t know if they would work.”
“Little cold, but I’m fine.””Xu Chengfeng replied, still looking at the direction of the sky that was getting whiter and whiter outside the window. He did not look at Zuo Yue, who was wiping her face.
Feeling the awkward atmosphere between her and her uncle, Zuo Yue did not say anything.
Her uncle was probably deliberately keeping a distance from her, right?
After all, she might have been a little too intimate previously. In his eyes, she was still a child. Perhaps he thought that she could not distinguish right from wrong and was impulsive. In order to avoid any unnecessary intimacy and misunderstanding between them, he had already maintained a proper distance from her from now on.
As Zuo Yue thought about it, she wiped her face. When her hands unconsciously wiped her cheeks, her cheeks had been rubbed back and forth until they were red. Ainte noticed her absent-minded appearance through the rearview mirror and smiled.”Don’t rub it anymore. If you rub it for a while more, your skin will break.”
Zuo Yue paused. When she came back to her senses, she quickly put down the wet towel in her hand, but she did not say anything else.
By the time the black Cayenne arrived in downtown Los Angeles, the sky was already bright. Zuo Yue had almost sorted herself out. She was about to take out her phone to check the time and call her mother to tell her that they would be arriving at the Xu family home soon.
Suddenly, the car braked violently and then suddenly turned around. When the brake was turned, Zuo Yue’s hand was thrown to the ground. She fell from the leather chair and onto the car door. Her shoulder was hit hard. She felt a sharp pain in her shoulder. She suddenly looked up in surprise at the people and things that were passing by quickly outside the car. Then, she turned to look at Xu Chengfeng, whose expression suddenly turned cold.
“Boss, we encountered a trap.”
Ainte said as he quickly turned the car around and drove to another road, accelerating the car.
Xu Chengfeng did not say anything. It was obvious that he already knew the reason for the sudden situation. However, at the same time, he suddenly looked at Zuo Yue, who was leaning tightly against the car door and seat because of the speed of the car.
She wasn’t afraid. She was just thrown into this sitting position by the inertia of the car when it suddenly turned around. Then, she was stunned by Ainte’s words, as if she hadn’t realized what had happened.
Grip?
What was a clamp?
She seemed to see some car chasing them from behind.
Was the clip a nickname for a certain type of enemy? Or did it mean something else?
Zuo Yuelai was not in a hurry to think about it. He looked at Xu Chengfeng directly and saw that he was sitting there steadily without any change in his expression due to the movement of the car. However, his eyes were looking at her as if he was observing her emotions.
Zuo Yue was shocked when she met his eyes. She raised her hand and grabbed the door. She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.”Yes… Was something dangerous going to happen?”
She only knew that Xu Chengfeng was related to the underworld. She only knew that other than his identity as the president of the GN Group, his other identity was not safe. However, Xu Chengfeng had only allowed her to come into contact with her true identity. He had no intention of letting her come into contact with his other identity.
However, she still knew that he had another identity, so at this moment, other than wanting to confirm if she was in danger, she really did not know what else to ask.
Ainte did not expect the little girl to be so calm. The last time he forced her into the car with a gun, her hands were still trembling when she stopped the Boss ‘bleeding.
Xu Chengfeng did not answer. He only glanced at Zuo Yue’s forced calm expression and then looked back at the two cars that had been left far behind.
“Scared?” He looked back at her again, his voice clear and deep.
Zuo Yue’s hands grabbed tightly at the side of the car door. His eyes were a little dazed. It was obvious that Xu Chengfeng did not have any nervousness in his eyes. Except for the change in their speed and the direction of the car, everything else was normal.
She gritted her teeth and slowly shook her head.””I’m not afraid.”
Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was smiling and confirming the authenticity of her words. He looked at her pale fingers on the door and then looked into her eyes.”Not afraid?”
Zuo Yue took a deep breath and nodded.””I’m not afraid!”
Xu Chengfeng looked at her for a while, then suddenly reached out his hand and moved closer to her. He grabbed her hand that was on the door and slowly pulled it down. He held her hand in his palm, as if to give her courage and comfort. He held her hand and gently opened her palm.
Zuo Yue looked at his action in a daze. For a moment, she even forgot that they might be in danger. She just looked at him in a daze.
Until Xu Chengfeng held her gradually relaxing hand in his palm and felt his warm fingers caressing the back of her hand, Zuo Yue still could not come back to her senses…
