Chapter 1146: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (231)
Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Madam Cui pulled her daughter aside, but the little girl was obviously angry.
Anyway, this matter had nothing to do with her. She was only here today as a temporary prop.
She retreated from the area where they were arguing. She turned around and walked to the long table in the corner alone. She picked up a small bunch of crystal clear grapes and put them into her mouth. As she ate, she looked at the crowd in the venue.
Today’s banquet was really grand. Yesterday, Xu Chengfeng had asked her if she was free tonight. Could it be that he also planned to bring her here to attend the banquet?
If he really found out that she was here, he would probably explode in anger.
Zuo Yue thought as she leaned against the crystal pillar in the corner and chuckled. She then casually picked up a glass of champagne and took two sips.
After work, she hadn’t eaten anything. She was already hungry after rushing and changing her dress and hairstyle. While Bai Hao was pestered by Madam Cui’s daughter, she walked along the long table alone. She picked up a small piece of strawberry cake and tasted it whenever she saw it. She also ate some delicious fruits and tasted the delicious wine when she saw it.
There were also some other snacks and exquisite and simple delicacies that were suitable for display here. She tasted almost all of them without affecting the overall appearance.
Just as he was eating in high spirits, someone suddenly approached him from behind.
There were fewer people at the place where Zuo Yue was standing. After all, there were very few people at such a banquet who would ignore their image and eat and drink at the long table like her. Therefore, when she suddenly felt a sense of oppression coming from behind her, she instinctively felt a chill down her spine. She turned around abruptly and saw Ainte standing behind her, as if he had noticed her for a long time.
Ainte saw that Zuo Yue had stuffed a lot of food into her mouth when she turned around. He didn’t know whether to laugh or say anything. He just smiled slightly and raised his eyebrows at her.
Zuo Yue almost choked. She suddenly turned to look around and then quickly looked around. She did not see Xu Chengfeng. When she came back to her senses and looked at him again, Ainte was still smiling.
Zuo Yue swallowed the thing in her mouth with difficulty. She was almost full. She glared at Ait unhappily.”When did you find me? Why are you suddenly standing behind me?”
“Miss Zuo.” “Boss wants you to go over.” Ainte smiled.”
Zuo Yue’s expression froze, and the corner of her mouth twitched.””He… Does he know I’m here? When did you find out?”
Ainte didn’t reply. He was still smiling at her, but it was obvious that he didn’t intend to give her a chance to escape. He just smiled at her and casually raised his hand, making a gesture of invitation.
Zuo Yue secretly ground her teeth. She knew that nothing good would come out of her promise to Bai Hao to attend this banquet. In the end, she had not even completed Bai Hao’s matter and was actually discovered so early?
When Xu Chengfeng walked past the door, he clearly did not look in her direction. It was obvious that he could not have noticed her.
But what was this?
Zuo Yue unwillingly pointed in Bai Hao’s direction.”It might not be convenient for me to meet your BOSS. I’m here with my friends. I have to greet them later and meet a few people.”
“Miss Zuo, I think it’s better if you don’t challenge Boss ‘tolerance. After all, things are different now.””
“Why isn’t it different from before? My relationship with him hasn’t changed much, has it? It’s just a small matter between men and women. Tell him that I’m open-minded and don’t need him to take responsibility. I still have things to do, so I won’t see him.”Zuo Yue said as she turned to leave.
Ainte casually moved in front of her and blocked her way.
This man was tall and strong, and he was like an iron wall in front of her. Zuo Yue’s eyes were filled with resentment.”I said I’m not going to see him. Don’t you understand? ” Ait, there are so many people here. I don’t want to cause trouble or attract too much attention. Please don’t make things difficult for me.””
“Miss Zuo, please don’t make things difficult for me. If I can’t bring Miss Zuo over, I think Boss might be unhappy.”
“What does his happiness have to do with me?”Zuo Yue turned her face to look in Bai Hao’s direction.
It just so happened that Bai Hao was finally free from the Cui mother and daughter’s side. He turned around and saw her, and at the same time, he saw the pleading look in her eyes. He immediately walked quickly in this direction.
Bai Hao walked around from behind Ainte and stepped forward in a protective manner. He raised his hand and put it around Zuo Yue’s shoulder to pull her into his arms. Then, he looked at the expressionless man in front of him.”Sir, do you know my girlfriend?”
Zuo Yue did not refute Bai Hao’s words. She only looked at Ainte with the same indifferent gaze.”Mr. Ayt, we’ll be leaving first.”
Ainte only gave Bai Hao a lukewarm glance and did not say anything. Zuo Yue took advantage of the fact that Ainte really did not want to cause trouble here to quietly squeeze Bai Hao’s hand, signaling him to quickly pull her away.
After the two of them walked out of the range of the Ait, Bai Hao saw Zuo Yue’s troubled expression and could not help but ask worriedly,”What’s wrong? What happened? Why are you in such a strange state tonight?”
Zuo Yue gently shook her head.” It’s nothing. I just met an acquaintance and told me some things. It’s nothing much.””
Zuo Yue gave an ambiguous explanation and walked as far away as possible from her previous position. Then, she looked in the direction of the washroom.”I was just eating and drinking. My stomach doesn’t feel well now. I’ll go to the bathroom first.”
Bai Hao released the hand on her shoulder.”Alright, I’ll wait for you here.”
Zuo Yue turned around and quickly walked towards the washroom.
After washing her hands and tidying her clothes, she was in a daze for a while. She didn’t want to go out at first because she really didn’t want to see Ainte again. However, she suddenly received a message from Bai Hao on her phone saying that his parents had arrived. She had no choice but to pack up and quickly walk out.
Just as she walked out of the washroom, Bai Hao excitedly came over and hugged her. He brought her to the front, and when they arrived in front of a middle-aged man and woman, he introduced them in a clear voice under the surprised gazes of those two people,”Dad, Mom, this is Zuo Yue, the girl I mentioned to you a while ago. She’s my girlfriend now.”
“You’re a child of the Zuo family in Los Angeles?” The Bai family’s parents looked at her in shock.”
Zuo Yue nodded. At the same time, Bai Hao raised his hand and hugged her even more intimately. He lowered his head and said in a pretentious and intimate manner by her ear,”Don’t be so stiff. It’s just for one night.”Then he raised his voice again.” Don’t be nervous, my dear. My parents won’t eat you.”
Zuo Yue forced a smile. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd in front of her. Zuo Yue’s line of sight turned s
