Chapter 185 - Thunder (1/2)

When all the people looked at her, Xiong Wuyue became slightly red.

”I mean..I am quite afraid to be alone. So..can you accompany me to my room until I fell asleep?” Xiong Wuyue carefully asked. Her eyes were a bit teary and her cheeks were red. She looked like an embarrassed girl trying to be brave. If it was any other man, they would be captured easily and would follow her whims.

But Linfeng was not any other man.

”Miss Wuyue if you're scared I will send a maid to your room to accompany you. Or if you want, I can hire a storyteller to lullaby you through bed stories.”

Linfeng was not polite at all.

Xiong Wuyue bit her lips.

What could she do to make Linfeng stay with her?

”That- I mean the Young Miss, we should call your father so that Butler Zhou Min could take Young Miss home.” Xiong Wuyue suggested. Today, no, for the rest of the week, Linfeng was hers.

Linfeng sighed.

'What this miss truly wants?'

”Please take a bath first, Miss. Wuyue.” Linfeng did not say anymore and left. He needs to arrange things for Xiong Zhi. Now that another Xiong appeared, the elders need to present their faces in front of this new guest.

*******

They said girls took a long while - if not an hour the most- to finish their bath.

But it was only less than twenty-minutes and the two girls, the heiress of Xiong Empire, and the princess of the second branch were sitting in front of Linfeng looking cleaned and freshen-up.

The girls were following his every gesture with serious eyes. Not only that, but another three pairs of old eyes were looking at him as well. They were all waiting for him to explain the situation.

Linfeng had been standing in front of these people.

”Grandpa, Grandma, Grand-uncle, Young Miss Zhi decided to stay here for tonight.”

The three oldies gulped.

A Xiong, specifically, a first-line at that were visiting them. It's a great honor. But this was very unexpected. They were not prepared. So this situation became a nightmare.

”I already called father and he reported it to Master Xiong. We already got Master Xiong's approval.”

Linfeng then glanced at Xiong Zhi. They didn't have the time to talk to each other since Xiong Wuyue was quick in her bath and ran to them immediately. Afterward, the three elders horrified faces appeared in the living room. Linfeng did not have a chance to speak with Xiong Zhi alone.

So right now, he needs to make a chance for them to be alone and explain things to her clearly.

”Young Miss, I would like to tour you around. But it's late. I will escort you to your room and bring you dinner.”

Xiong Wuyue opened her mouth to complain. But Linfeng was fast.

”Ms. Wuyue, since Young Miss' room was along the way. I'll escort you too. Please be comfortable here.”

Xiong Zhi's ears perked to the words 'please be comfortable here'.

Linfeng continued to talk to Xiong Wuyue.

”I'm sorry I let you suffered here in Zhou Mansion. If there's anything you need, just tell me. I'll do my best to comply.”

Xiong Wuyue's face became lively.

”It's alright. It's all my fault. Not yours. I got dizzy and faint. I'm happy you're there to help me up. And I'm sorry to cause trouble for you.”

”No worries. It's the Zhou's honor to serve you.” Linfeng said nonchalantly.

Xiong Zhi looked back between them.

Her eyes were suspicious.

She could guess what happened. But not the whole thing.

Linfeng seeing the obvious eyes of Xiong Zhi changed the subject.

”Young Miss and Ms. Wuyue let me escort both of you to the west wing-”

Bang!

Thunder!

But a louder thunder made all the people looked at the window. The heavy rain got wilder. It looked like a storm was brewing.

The Guest Wing was not connected to the Main Zhou Mansion. It was still a five-minute walk from here. So for them to go back to Guest Mansion, they need to face the raining buckets and the wild wind.

”..I guess. We should stay here a bit and go once the rain calms down.” Linfeng suggested.

But after a couple of hours, the sky does not have a plan to calm down at all.

Xiong Zhi finally let go of her yawn that she kept fighting back.

Linfeng glanced at her and decided to let them stay here. He spoke and the people in the living room gave their attention to him.

”Maids, please prepare two guest rooms for young miss and miss Wuyue- ” Linfeng then turned to Grandpa Zhou.
