Chapter 967: Scared?
Zoe Lewis looked as if she had been struck by lightning, unable to believe that these words came out of Left Hong’s mouth!Left Hong seemed oblivious as he picked her up and carried her toward the bathroom.
Zoe was so frightened her whole body stiffened, and she shouted anxiously, "Auntie, I don’t need him to wash me! I can do it myself! I’m fine! I have the strength!"
Mrs. Zuo chuckled, "Don’t be polite with him. He caused you to be buried under the coal mine; you can order him around all you want. Auntie won’t disturb you two, the meals are almost ready, and you can come out to eat after your bath!"
She exited the hospital room with a smile on her face, thoughtfully closing the door for them.
Zoe was already carried into the bathroom by Left Hong. She looked at his handsome yet indifferent face in horror, "What’s wrong with you? Why are you talking nonsense?"
Left Hong set her down, standing face to face with her in the unlit bathroom, "What nonsense did I say?"
"You, you... what nonsense were you calling out? How could you tell Auntie you would help me bathe? She would misunderstand!"
"Isn’t misunderstanding what you wanted? Pretending to be my girlfriend and even showing up at my house, and now you want to deny it all?"
"I... I..."
"Do you think you can pretend however you want? Anyway, I’ll refuse. No matter what, my mom won’t blame you in the future. If the two of us can’t be together, it’s all my fault. I’m the one rejecting you, it has nothing to do with you. You’ve turned my home upside down, got what you wanted, and then can walk away cleanly."
As Zuo Hong spoke, he pinched her chin and calmly asked, "Am I right, Zoe?"
Zoe opened her mouth but didn’t utter a single word.
So he knew everything!
He’s so smart. Turns out her little schemes only succeeded because he allowed them!
Her mind was in chaos, suddenly being pressed against the wall by him, with his arm tightly wrapped around her waist, he whispered in her ear, "I won’t refuse anymore. Don’t you like acting? I’ll act with you and see who’s better. You’ve already met my parents; next, it’s my turn to meet yours. Don’t worry, I’ll perform more realistically than you. Once your parents consider me their son-in-law, I’ll disappear from your world. You guess, will you be scolded then?"
The little woman in his arms was petrified, and Left Hong let out a soft chuckle.
After a long while, he quietly asked her, "Frightened?"
Zoe’s voice trembled, "Which one is the real Left Hong?"
She could almost see three versions of him: one indifferent and aloof like a sage beyond worldly affairs, one gentle and attentive taking meticulous care of her, and the current one, unfathomable like a devil, whose emotions were imperceptible yet inexplicably captivating to sink with him.
Left Hong held her, his arm wrapped tightly, pressing them together, feeling each other’s warmth and heartbeat.
His voice was low, with a hint of enchantment, "They’re all me, Mia. Which one do you like?"
Zoe’s heart skipped a beat; she looked up in shock, meeting a pair of deep eyes, "How do you know this name?!"
Left Hong released her and smiled lightly, "It’s time for a bath, Mia. I’ll be outside. If you feel uncomfortable, remember to call me."
He gracefully exited the bathroom, leaving Zoe alone in disarray.
