Chapter 184 - Dripping Wet (1/2)

Xiong Zhi was in the front of the massive gate. She did not expose herself to not alert the Zhou family. She wanted to talk to Linfeng first.

After two minutes, a figure was running towards the gate. He had two umbrellas with him.

”Young Miss! Why didn't you wait in the car?!” Linfeng was a bit wet from running.

The loud pour of the rain swallowed up his voice.

He took off his coat and dr.a.p.ed over Xiong Zhi.

”You should have called me first before you went here. I can send butlers to you to escort you.” Linfeng tirade as he checked upon Xiong Zhi.

Xiong Zhi's hands were freezing.

Linfeng cupped it with his other hand and warmed it.

He gave a warning gaze to the man who was holding an umbrella for Xiong Zhi.

It was one of the butlers that his father sent.

”Why didn't you call me on your way here? You should let the Young Miss in.”

The butler couldn't say anything. It was Xiong Zhi who ordered them to do her bid.

”Don't be angry at them. They are following my instructions. How about you? Why didn't you call me?” Xiong Zhi asked her first question.

Linfeng looked at her worried eyes and sighed. He was just about to call her. He did not forget. The timing was not just right.

”Let's go inside, first. ” Linfeng used his umbrella for him and Xiong Zhi. He was still holding Xiong Zhi's other hand. He got closer to her to give warmth to her cold body.

Linfeng then scowled. Why was she cold? How long did she stay outside the gate?

He ran quickly when he received the text. She should not be this cold.

Linfeng thought, What if Xiong Zhi debated for a while before sending him a text?

Linfeng looked at Xiong Zhi's side view. She was a bit wet because of the heavy rain. Her pants were wet. It must be bothersome.

Linfeng let go of her hand and put his free arm around her shoulders. He gently pushed her into his warm chest and slightly hugged her. It was to protect her from the cold rain and to give her warmth.

”Don't do those unnecessary things again,” Linfeng said above Xiong Zhi's head.

It was really unnecessary for Xiong Zhi to debate under the rain on whether to contact him or not.

She should have just called him and demand his presence immediately. What his position was for? He was not her butler for display.

'Tsk. Why make things hard for herself?'

Linfeng leads Xiong Zhi to walk towards the Zhou Mansion. His hands gently tighten his hold around her soft body.

Once they arrived at the living room he immediately ordered the maids to prepare a warm bath, hot chocolate and everything.

Xiong Zhi sat down and looked around.

The maids and butlers who were hurrying over were glancing at her. All of them recognized Xiong Zhi. She was the heiress of the Xiong family after all.

One of the butlers went to the elder's wings to report the situation.

”Here. Have some hot choco first.” Linfeng handed a mug to Xiong Zhi. He also gets a towel to dry the tip of Xiong Zhi's hair that got wet by the rain.

”Why did you visit here young miss?” Linfeng started to talk as he dries her hair.

Xiong Zhi took a sip first before she answered.

”I'm worried.”

”What are you worried about that you have to wait outside the gate?” Linfeng's voice was a bit stern. It was his tone whenever Linfeng lecture Xiong Zhi in the past and in the present.

Xiong Zhi stared at her mug.

”I heard a voice on the other line while we were talking earlier. I wonder if everything is alright. I'm worried about you. I'm distressed.”

Xiong Zhi sincerely voiced out what she was feeling. She was always honest when it comes to Linfeng.

Linfeng's hand that was combing her hair halted.

”..and I want to see you.” Xiong Zhi was still staring at her cup.

Was it too much to check on him? Or bother him? Not seeing him for a moment and thinking that he was in another person's - specifically a person that she hates- side made her uneased and agitated. But when she was in front of the Zhou Mansion, she hesitated.

This feeling..was so complicated. So Xiong Zhi decided to be honest.

”And you also did not call me. I am anxious the whole time.”

Linfeng put down the towel and tap Xiong Zhi's nose from above.

”I'm sorry...” Linfeng started.
