Best Delinquent Wife’s Order: Rise Again, Hubby

Chapter 970: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-That Kind of Liking (55)

Xu Yuan turned around and knocked on Xu Chengfeng’s door before entering his room.

Zuo Yue turned her head back from afar. When she saw her mother enter her uncle’s room and recalled what her uncle had said earlier, her heart began to throb in pain.

Did she really like her uncle?

Did he really like her? The kind of love between a normal man and woman?

Otherwise, why would it be so uncomfortable…

Zuo Yue returned to her room listlessly. After taking a shower, she lay on the bed. Her mind and heart were filled with every little bit of time she spent with Xu Chengfeng. Although it was not long, it seemed that every time it happened, it would trigger the most sensitive nerve in her heart.

Also, he was clearly determined to leave just now. He stayed because of her.

Zuo Yue turned over and curled up on the bed. She pulled the blanket up and forced herself to sleep with her head closed.

*****

Early the next morning, Zuo Yue finished tidying herself up and got up to visit her grandfather. His condition was not bad, but he needed to rest temporarily because he had just taken his medicine. So she left after chatting with him for a while in his room.

She did not see Xu Chengfeng during breakfast. When the servants were chatting, she found out that although Xu Chengfeng did not leave the Xu family in a hurry today, he went out early in the morning.

He was willing to stay because he had promised her, right?

However, he still didn’t want to stay in this place for too long. Did he go out to do something?

Zuo Yue ate her breakfast as she thought about it. When Xu Yuan came over, she saw that Zuo Yue was almost done eating. She smiled and sat beside her.”Did you not sleep well?”

“It’s alright.” Zuo Yue put down her cutlery.

“Are you worried that your uncle will leave you alone?”Xu Yuan smiled and said,” Don’t worry. Your uncle said that he will stay with you for two nights and leave after tonight. He just has something to deal with, so he went out. He should be back before dark.””

Zuo Yue did not say anything at first, but when she thought of Xu Chengfeng’s attitude last night, she felt that it was not good for her to continue pestering him. She said softly,””Why don’t you let uncle leave by himself tomorrow? I’ll go back by myself in a few days. I’m not a child anymore anyway.”

“Your uncle has already agreed to let you go back with him tomorrow. There’s no need to change the things that have already been decided. It just so happens that you can’t help your grandfather much. Even if he couldn’t go on vacation after he went back, he would go out for a walk to relax.”

Zuo Yue paused for a moment and did not say anything. Xu Yuan then said,”” That’s right. Uncle John’s family didn’t come yesterday. They will come to visit your grandfather this morning and will stay for lunch. Even if you don’t want to dress up today, you should clean yourself up. At least don’t act like a wild child and behave yourself.”

Zuo Yue sighed.

“What’s wrong? Are you in a bad mood?” Xu Yuan noticed that she seemed to have a lot on her mind since last night. She could not help but ask softly,”If there’s anything you’re unhappy about, tell Mom.”

“No, I haven’t.” Zuo Yue supported her chin with one hand.” I just feel that Uncle has his own life. If you entrust me to him like this, it’s equivalent to placing a burden by his side. Mom, I think it’s better for me to move out of his place.””

“What nonsense are you saying? When I went to your uncle’s room last night, he even praised you. He said that you’re very smart and obedient. Other than being a little willful and stubborn occasionally, you’re not bad. He also said that although you’re young, you have a good personality. He likes you quite a lot.”

Zuo Yue looked at Xu Yuan in surprise.””Really?”

Xu Yuan chuckled.” Of course it’s true. Your uncle rarely praises anyone. You can see that he has a cold personality. Since he can praise you a few times, it shows that he still likes you, his niece. So don’t think too much about it. Just stay by your uncle’s side obediently and you can restrict him.””

“Limit him? What restrictions?” Zuo Yue felt strange.

“Because of you, he has tried to reduce his trip back to Russia. You may not know the situation in Russia, but it’s a war-torn country. Your grandfather and I don’t want your uncle to live there for a long time. We hope that he can put most of his energy into the United States. After all, the Xu family’s future business will still be handed over to your uncle.”

Zuo Yue did not say anything, but she thought of Xu Chengfeng’s attitude towards the Xu family yesterday.

He had no intention of inheriting the Xu family’s business at all.

Were his mother and grandfather trying to make him stay in the United States for a long time by making him stay to take care of her?

Although she really hoped that he could stay in the United States, wasn’t that a little too selfish?

Perhaps his uncle knew their purpose. Otherwise, why would he be so cold and resistant?

“Girl, why are you still so preoccupied? After saying a few words, she sat there as if her soul had flown away.””Have you visited your grandfather?” Xu Yuan shook her head as she spoke.”

“I went to check it out before breakfast and talked to Grandpa for a while.”

“Alright, then go back and change your clothes. Your Uncle John’s family will be here in a while.”

At the thought of having to deal with Uncle John’s family, Zuo Yue sighed faintly, but she still got up and went back to her room.

When she was changing her clothes in the room, she glanced at her phone that was placed on the bed.

She had the urge to call her uncle and ask him where he was.

The maid said that he had left early in the morning. Was he busy with the branch of the KP Group here, or was he busy with something else? Or was it just to deliberately avoid the Xu family and her?

*****

As expected, Uncle John’s family came early. They arrived not long after Zuo Yue returned to her room.

Uncle John’s family and the Xu family used to be neighbors. Later, Uncle John’s family moved away, but they had maintained contact for so many years. They treated Grandpa as a very respectable elder.

This time, when his grandfather was sick, many people came to visit him. Uncle John and his family had just returned from overseas business and came straight to the Xu family. They really had to give him face because they missed him.

However, Zuo Yue did not have a deep relationship with the other members of the family. There was also their Little John, whom her mother seemed to want her to get to know better. She had met him twice when she was young, and he always bullied her.

The front hall was already bustling with noise. When Zuo Yue walked in, she saw that Uncle John’s family had already sat down. Xu Yuan was talking to them. Their laughter could be heard from outside.

As soon as Zuo Yue entered the door, Uncle John and his wife saw her. Before they could say anything, their son, John Junior, had already cast his gaze at her.
