Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (234)

Zuo Yue followed closely behind Xu Chengfeng as she passed through the crowd in the banquet hall. She had thought that he was planning to bring her away directly.

However, he did not walk out of the banquet hall. Instead, he walked to the side of the magnificent spiral staircase. Zuo Yue thought that he wanted her to follow him upstairs. This was a famous high-end hotel in Boston. Most of the floors above the second floor were hotel rooms. She suddenly stopped in her tracks and stood there motionlessly as she watched his back view.

Noticing that the person behind him was no longer moving, Xu Chengfeng also stopped in his tracks. He did not urge her and merely looked back at her indifferently."Why aren't you leaving? What are you afraid of?"

Zuo Yue raised her eyes and glanced in the direction of the stairs.""I didn't expect to meet you here, but I won't go up this building. If Mr. Xu thinks it's inappropriate for me to appear here, I can leave now."
