Chapter 183 - Zhou (1/2)
Xiong Zhi continued.
”I want to find it out. But he said that he would handle it and finish it by himself. I don't know if finding it out before waiting for him to give an explanation is good. Besides-” Xiong Zhi thought about it.
If Linfeng did not detailed it to her it means it was one of the things he doesn't want her to know. With the knowledge of Linfeng from the past life and present time, Xiong Zhi knew that Linfeng wanted to solve his problems on his own. And her adding to that scene, would cause another problem.
Besides, they were not in a relationship where they could touch each other's belongings. Like his thoughts and beliefs, Xiong Zhi knew the current Linfeng wouldn't allow her to touch those.
”--Besides I'm afraid if I push more he would be estranged to me.” Xiong Zhi was afraid of these. It's true that she managed to tell what her heart says to Linfeng. But she couldn't push more. The young Linfeng couldn't handle it.
But..even though she had those thoughts. Her heart wanted to ignore those and check on his situation. She trusted Linfeng. But having just thought of the two of them being alone made Xiong Zhi want to kidnap Linfeng and protect him from that snake.
Was it too much?
Lu Yin Ze watched as Xiong Zhi expressed some frustration in that usual cold face.
”Is it..your butler?”
Xiong Zhi did not answer him. She was in deep thought and couldn't hear him.
”Is it...Linfeng, the important person you are talking about?”
Xiong Zhi finally looked at him and nod with a complicated face.
Squeezed.
Lu Yin Ze doesn't know what he's feeling.
But he cheered up to console Xiong Zhi.
”Why he would take it against you? You are his master. And as I can see, he deeply cares about you. So, giving him care than any master does would surely make him happy. Just follow what you think will be good and also follow what will make you give peace.”
Xiong Zhi's finally eased up.
”Is it really okay?”
”I really don't know. But if he got angry at you, just-” Lu Yin Ze shrugged his shoulders.
”-just make up with him.”
Xiong Zhi finally saw the light.
”You're right.”
Xiong Zhi nodded as she thought about it. She could chase after Linfeng again if he doesn't like what she did. She would please him.
Xiong Zhi looked at Lu Yin Ze with a small smile.
”You're intelligent.”
Lu Yin Ze just scrunched up his shoulders.
”Not really. Just go. Make your mind at peace.”
Xiong Zhi nodded and ran. She did not even bid goodbye to the other two who were bickering over a piece of cookie. (Song Xuantin and Gu Zhen)
Lu Yin Ze watched Xiong Zhi who ran like her life depended on it with a laugh.
But then..he could not laugh anymore.
Squeezed.
He felt bitter and a bit..hurt.

Linfeng was facing the three elders of the Zhou family.
It was his grandfather, grandmother, and granduncle.
They had a serious expression on their face.
”How come it comes down to this? What have you been doing?” His grandfather asked him angrily.
Linfeng looked down and did not answer.
They were outside the room of Xiong Wuyue. The doctor checked Xiong Wuyue and told them that she was fine. She got some injuries but they were not life-threatening. But it might scare the young miss since it might leave some scar for a few months.
”Let's sit down first. Your shouting will wake up the young miss.” Linfeng's grandmother gently coaxed the Old man.
”Sigh. Your wife is right. Hold your tongue for a while.” His grand-uncle looked at Linfeng with disappointment.
Linfeng followed them. He just stayed quiet as the trio bombarded him with another round of sermon as they sat in the living room.
”What's the matter with you Linfeng? How come the young miss is injured? Do you know what will happen if it comes out? It is the first time a Xiong visit here and stayed in this mansion. And there's an accident already? I thought you're intelligent. You must know how important that guest is.”
Linfeng did not answer and kept staring down.
Grandma Zhou patted Grandpa Zhou who was red from speaking in a long breath.
”Linfeng, what happened? We are really happy that Mr. Xiong De personally asked you to take care of his daughter for a week. It is very important. I know, child, that you are not irresponsible. How will you fix this?”
Linfeng inwardly laughed.
Fix this?
'The real question is how the Xiong wanted the Zhou to fix this? And how the Zhou wanted me to fix it.'
To prove that his thoughts were right, his grand-uncle side comment.
”Mr. Xiong De would not take it lightly if he heard about this news. Sigh.”
The oldies were troubled.
And this trouble should only be fixed by the person who made this trouble happen.
They all look at the quiet Linfeng.
Linfeng finally looked up at them.
He told them what they really wanted to hear.
”Don't worry. I'll fix this. I will coax Ms. Wuyue.”
