Chapter 221 - Got spotted (1/2)

Xiong Zhi could not fall asleep even though she had tired herself out this whole night.

Her mind was still thinking of Linfeng, especially the mysterious glint in his eyes when he said to 'figure it out' herself.

The charming sight when he pressed her lips against her palm.

The scorching eyes which looked at her without restraint.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

The rhythmic sound of her heartbeat reverberated in her ears.

Xiong Zhi laid on the bed, staring at the ceiling dazedly. She raised a hand to press down on her chest.

Was it the aftershock? With her heart beating so loudly, how would she be able to sleep?

'Did Linfeng safely leave the Xiong Mansion? Would he leave far from the capital? When will he be back? When will I see him again?'

The deep, masculine voice sounded again in her mind. 'Soon.'

She stroked her necklace. Their names engraved on it made her feel more assured that she would see him again.

It had not been long, but she missed him already.

Xiong Zhi wanted to see his unrestrained smile, his gentle voice, and his warm touch. How she wished she could teleport right to his side and hug him tightly. Even just for one second. She would be contented with that.

Sigh. Her eyes glistened, watery with yearning.

Xiong Zhi turned to her side. Her thoughts were all about Linfeng, Linfeng, and more Linfeng.

The shocking approval of buying Guan's share, the unexpected two percent share of the Lu Empire, and the official heir title... seemed so small now in her eyes as they were all thrown at the back of her mind.

She spent hours on her bed just dazedly thinking of him.

A while later, she sighed and sat up, realizing that her mind really could not sleep yet.

She went to her bedside drawer and pulled out her treasure box. Inside the box, there was only one photograph.

Xiong Zhi took out the photograph from the box and gazed at it intently.

In the photograph, she and Linfeng were both wearing a pair of couple shirts. Linfeng was smiling helplessly, a bit embarrassed, his long, narrow eyes clearly reflected a happy light. She, on the other hand, was trying to smile beautifully at the camera, but it turned awkward due to inexperience.

Xiong Zhi laughed at their picture. She decided to have an enlarged copy of it, she would have it framed and put up in her room later.

After a while, she walked to her pile of birthday gifts. She had not opened them yet. Since she could not sleep, she thought it was the best time to check her gifts instead.

She first opened the small gift box from Gu Zhen.

Inside, there was only a small note.

[You can write down names here up to three people. A rare offer from me, I will hack their accounts and computers or you. It's priceless, so think carefully about it.]

”...” It was indeed an interesting gift.

Xiong Zhi carefully put it back. She had two people in her mind. But it can wait. Gu Zhen's gift was very helpful.

But Xiong Zhi knew that she could not just randomly use up Gu Zhen's help whenever. When dire opportunities presented themselves, only then she could take advantage of this gift.

She then went to open Song Xuantin's gift box. It was not as big as the box Song Xuantin had given to Lu Yin Ze before on his birthday party.

It was just the right size for a book.

Xiong Zhi opened it. Inside was a cute notebook.

Xiong Zhi turned to read the first page.

[I have compiled everything I gathered regarding seducing a man. The detailed opinions of the professionals were inside as well. I only had one week to prepare this! Imagine the rush. Anyway, this would be definitely a weapon to gain favor from our men. Good luck, Zhi!]
