Chapter 181 - Emoticon (2/2)

Zhou Min stared at his son.

”I will not reprimand you for calling Young Miss by her name, and also for disrespecting the young miss from the second branch when we are alone. But I will not allow you to do that in front of them or in front of other people. Faced your punishment in the reflection hall for two hours. ”

Linfeng stood up to receive his punishment now. He rather be punished than to babysit that girl from the second branch.

”We are not yet done talking. Sit down.” Zhou Min cold voice sounded again.

Lin Feng had no choice but to sit down.

”You have to take care of Ms. Wuyue for at least a week.” Zhou Min continued.

”No.” Linfeng strongly rejected. It wasn't his duty to serve that miss.

Zhou Min took off his glasses to massaged his brows.

”The elders decided it. Not me. You know I don't have the authorization to decide.”

Linfeng looked at him with blame.

”You are Master Xiong's personal butler. How could you not do anything? Why did you not report it to Master Xiong? If he just said anything..”

”I can't. You know that too. Xiong De personally asked the elders. And how can you expect Master Xiong to decide the fate of a meter butler? The butler's matter is our own problem. It hasn't nothing to do with Master Xiong.”

Linfeng knew that. But he still hopes that Master Xiong could at least be possessive to his own butler or to his granddaughter's possession.

”It's just one week, Linfeng. Please bear with that.” Zhou Min pleaded to his own son.

Linfeng doesn't want to see his father pleading.

But still...

”Why at the Zhou Mansion? Is she planning to stay in my room?” Linfeng asked with a sarcastic face. That Xiong second branch was really greedy to the point fo exploiting the first descendant's only privilege.

”Of course not. She would stay at one of our master's bedroom.”

The Zhou villa has a mansion that only for the Xiong to stay at. It had been vacant since the beginning it was built.

”Ha.” Linfeng laughed exasperatedly.

'How could the elders decide for that? Are their mind were so muddled that they took it seriously to become Xiong's dogs? This is really insane.'

Linfeng clenched his hands. They were so pale because of the anger that was building inside of him.

They were being treated like dogs again.

Dogs were actually much better than him. Because dogs have no dreams and ability to surpass their masters.

But it was not the same for him.

He has his dreams. His ability. His thoughts. His feelings. His rights. His freedom.

Those were always ignored by the Xiong.

Linfeng could feel his desire to free from the Xiong got stronger.

********

Linfeng had a frown while looking at the window. He borrowed one of the drivers to drive him to Zhou Mansion.

He recalled what his father said.

”The elders promised Mr. Xiong De that you will personally assist Ms. Wuyue. I know you don't like it. But at least show your face to the mansion. Just tour her a bit.”

Linfeng closed his eyes.

Beep.

There was a text message.

Linfeng opened his phone and saw Xiong Zhi's message.

[I apologize for not answering the call. Xuantin confiscated our phone. I only opened your voice mail during the break. Is everything alright?

By the way, your moose cake is so delicious. I did not cry. But Xuantin stole half. I am angry at her. (눈‸눈) ]

Linfeng read the message two times more.

He then smiled at the last part.

Xiong Zhi knew how to use emoticons now.

Linfeng started to type.

[ It's alright. Father just passed something bothersome to me. How about you? Are you not tired yet? Make sure to change your towel on your back. If you can't do it alone, make Song Xuantin do it.

And if you like my moose cake, I'll make more for you. Besides, this emoticon suits you the best ಠ益ಠ ]

Linfeng clicked send. He did not notice that he was smiling why he was typing this. His bad mood was gone now.

A reply came quickly.

[Am I that ugly? (>▂<) ]

Linfeng laughed. He laughed loudly that the driver glanced at him.

After laughing for a bit, he typed a reply.

[No. I take that back. This suit you more (⌐■-■) ]

He waited for a reply. But a minute had passed already and there's still no reply yet.

Then his phone rang.

It was Xiong Zhi.

Linfeng coughed first. Then answer the call.

Xiong Zhi cool voice sounded first.

”Is that cute?”

It was her innocent question.
