Chapter 9 Late Night Visitor

Xu Ge's body stiffened for a moment before he leaned lazily against the head of the bed, tilting his head and looking quietly at Zhou Chen sitting on the sofa.

Quietly appreciate the way he smokes.

For a moment, neither of them spoke, as if whoever spoke first would lose.

But Zhou Chen's eyes were always on her face, his gaze was deep and dark, making it difficult for people to see his intentions and thoughts.

In the past, this man had always shown his gentle side to her, but since that incident, he seemed to treat her the same as everyone else.

She knew that he had pushed her out of the cordon.

Xu Ge let him stare at her openly.

Her eyes fell on the cigarette between his fingers. Seeing that the ash was half gone and about to fall onto the blanket, she got off the bed, opened the drawer of the bedside table, took out an ashtray that was many years old, and slowly walked towards the sofa.

She glanced at the sofa opposite, but finally chose to sit next to Zhou Chen.

Her two slender white legs were slightly crossed. She placed the ashtray on the coffee table, then tilted her head and looked at him with her chin supported.

Zhou Chen glanced at the familiar ashtray, flicked the ash, and spoke in a low and cold voice.

"Why did you come back?"

Xu Ge was a little disgusted. "You keep asking me this question. Aren't you tired of it?"

Her tone was the same as before, with her usual coquettishness.

As if nothing dirty had ever happened between them.

She watched as his bony hands extinguished the cigarette, and then the hand came in front of her, clamped her jaw, and forced her to look at him.

Xu Ge curled his toes calmly, his expression unchanged, even though the distance between them was ambiguous.

But she could see clearly that there was only indifference and frost in the man's eyes.

"Why did you come back?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Ge felt that the strength in his hands had clearly increased a bit, as if he was silently warning her.

Xu Ge frowned slightly, but the words she spoke were very coquettish and full of complaints.

"Uncle, you hurt me..."

Zhou Chen's eyes grew darker, and he suddenly curled up the corners of his lips, revealing a truly chilling expression.

"Didn't you recognize the wrong person?"

Xu Ge didn't say anything, but just glared at him coquettishly.

Zhou Chen stared at her with a pair of heavy eyes, and said without any emotion: "Why don't you call me Mr. Zhou anymore, huh?"

Xu Ge raised his eyebrows and whispered, "What can I do? I can't let Grandpa think that I still have some unrealistic ideas about you, right?"

After she finished speaking, she looked up at him and said, "After all, I am a very filial child, am I not, uncle?"

Zhou Chen chuckled, "Are you so filial that you disregard ethics and fall in love with your uncle?"

The smile on Xu Ge's face seemed to freeze for a moment, and then she shrugged indifferently.

"I was young and ignorant, and I didn't have any parents. Of course I liked whoever treated me well. Who says that's love?"

After saying that, Xu Ge slowly raised her white arms and gently wrapped them around his neck, her pink lips opening and closing.

"Maybe it's just an Oedipus complex?"

Zhou Chen's expression turned cold, and he twisted her face and pushed her out.

Xu Ge fell on the sofa, frowning slightly, and accused unhappily.

"Were you so rude to Miss Zhong as well?"

The coldness lingering around Zhou Chen became more and more intense. He stood up from the sofa and looked down at her with a warning in his eyes.

"It's not your place to tell me what to do. Also, put your thoughts aside."

Xu Ge couldn't help but chuckle, curled up on the sofa like a cat, and looked at him with his head slightly tilted up.

The snow-white neck line is extremely beautiful, making people want to kiss it and even break it.

"Uncle, what do you mean by 'thoughts'? I don't quite understand. You need to explain it more clearly."

Zhou Zimo's cell phone rang at this time. He took it out, took a look at it, and answered it.

"Achen, are you busy?"

In the quiet room, Xu Ge could even hear the gentle voice on the other end of the phone clearly.

Xu Ge's eyes fell on his phone, while Zhou Zimo's eyes were fixed on her face.

But his tone was very gentle and contained a hint of concern.

"I'm not busy, what's wrong?"

Zhong Yaxuan seemed to chuckle, like the flirtation between lovers.

"Nothing, just someone missed you and wanted to see you. I wonder if you have time to see her?"

Zhou Zimo raised his eyebrows slightly, and Xu Ge could see that he was relaxed. She was not unfamiliar with this expression, as she had often seen it before.

He seemed to be in a good mood because of the woman's sweet words.

She slowly lowered her eyes and stared at the white instep of her feet, and suddenly felt extremely bored.

"I'll be there now." Zhou Zimo hung up the phone and looked at the person on the sofa.

"Whatever you have in mind, it's best to put it away."

Xu Ge was a little impatient. He slowly looked up at him and smiled.

"My beautiful lady is waiting for you. Why is my uncle still willing to waste his time warning me?"

Zhou Chen's expression turned cold. "You'd better listen to my words. You can't touch anyone from the Zhou family."

Xu Ge narrowed his eyes slightly, as if trying to discern the deeper meaning behind his words.

"So, my uncle wants to

Tell me not to have any thoughts about Zimo?"

Zhou Chen didn't say anything. Silence was probably the truth.

Xu Ge chuckled, "What if I say I came back for you, uncle, what will you do to me?"

Zhou Chen leaned down slightly and looked at her, his eyes were dark and difficult to read, without a trace of emotion.

There was only a cold reply, "If that's the case, I will send you away again."

The smile on Xu Ge's lips slowly faded, and he just looked at him quietly.

The eyes were still clear and bright, but it seemed that they could no longer be seen to the bottom.

In the end, it was Xu Ge who lifted her long hair to remind him.

"Uncle, it's time for you to go."

This time Zhou Zimo didn't stay intentionally and left her room directly.

They happened to run into Zhou Zimo going upstairs. The uncle and nephew looked at each other. Zhou Zimo's brows gradually frowned. He glanced at the door behind him and asked cautiously.

"Uncle, do you have something to do with Ge'er?"

Zhou Chen ignored him and walked down the stairs past him.

Zhou Zimo watched her leave before walking to Xu Ge's door.

"Ge'er, it's me..."

Xu Ge opened the door after a while, but her beautiful almond-shaped eyes seemed a little red, and she only forced a smile when she saw him.

"Zimo, you're back."

Zhou Zimo wanted to ask her what happened, but finally said, "Are you hungry?"

Xu Ge touched his shriveled stomach and said, "I feel a little hungry. I haven't eaten for a whole day..."

Seeing that she looked like a pitiful kitten on the street, Zhou Zimo raised his hand and rubbed her hair.

"I'll take you to dinner and pick up your luggage, okay?"

Xu Ge seemed to be hesitant and glanced behind him.

Zhou Zimo knew what she was worried about, "My mom is not here, shall we go?"

Xu Ge then smiled and nodded, "Yeah."

Xu Ge's body stiffened for a moment before he leaned lazily against the head of the bed, tilting his head and looking quietly at Zhou Chen sitting on the sofa.

Quietly appreciate the way he smokes.
