Chapter 236 - The Five Kings (1/2)

The five men studied Linfeng for a moment and couldn't help but comment.

”You are so young and quite talented. I heard you are still a teenager?” A handsome man with Arabic features studied him. This man's name was Caleb, a man who had already made a name for himself amongst the sheiks of the Middle East.

Linfeng raised his head and nodded.

All these successful men inside the room were in their mid to late twenties. Compared to them, he was discovered indeed very young.

”That's why we wanted to meet him, isn't it? He is young but has a very mature and stable mind like us. Not to mention his potential. He was well deserved to be here,” a man with European features said with a smile. He introduced himself as Eugene, a successor of another well-known empire in Europe. He was currently managing his own company he had made from scratch and have already expanded to several branches in different countries.

”I am honored,” Linfeng bowed as well.

”Hey, Erich, remember to make a seat for him,” Cabel reminded the host for today's meeting.

”Ah, yes. What's your favorite color?” Erich suddenly asked Linfeng.

”...”

Linfeng was stunned.

Why were they asking for his favorite color, instead of getting the details of the deal?

”Is it hard to choose?” Eugene followed up.

”...”

It seemed that these men would not start talking about business if he did not answer.

Linfeng tried to think about what his favorite color was. His long lashes lowered as he thought.

What was his favorite color again? He did not really have any favorite color or preference. But if he were to choose a color, which would it be then?

He thoughtfully raised his head, and his eyes suddenly caught on the painting by the wall on the other side of the room.

It was a painting of an azure ocean with a cruise ship sailing above the gentle waves.

A few images flashed by his mind.

He thought of the girl who wore a light blue summer dress in the amus.e.m.e.nt park on their first date. The light blue dress was like waves of the ocean as it gently swayed from the breeze. Her translucent skin was like the white fine sand, making her appear more gentler, softer, and delicate.

In his eyes, he saw a figure of her smiling to him so tenderly. He thought of how stunning she was, that slender figure in the night ocean blue dress, standing in the middle of the sea of blue roses. She was like a fairy who visited the mortal world.

And in the night they spent together, his eyes feast on her as she glowed in that navy blue gown under the moonlight while she held the crescent necklace.

Unknowingly, Linfeng's eyes turned gentle as he thought of her. A slight flush rose upon his cheeks, the faint smile on his lips turned more tender.

He unconsciously replied in a trance. ”...Blue.” He observed that his young miss truly like the blue color.

The five men who was fed dog food: ”...”

Why the hell did they suddenly smell the scent of spring?

This young man in front of them looked like he had instantly travelled to a different dimension for a moment. The cool and calm aura had melted into lovely pink bubbles.

Obviously…

”Oohh, this young man is clearly in love,” the easy going Eugene teased him after watching the spectacle of changing seasons. The others followed, too. Their knowing smiles were absolutely looking for a beating.

Linfeng was roused back, stunned for a moment at the sudden teasing.

”..?”

What did he do? Why did they suddenly say he was in love? He only said his chosen color while thinking about her...

Then he realized it. Did he make a weird expression while thinking about her?

Suddenly, his cheeks flushed red embarrassment, and he coughed lightly to hide it.

”Heh~ The youngest is really in love! Who is the lucky girl?” Caleb laughed as he teased him too.

Linfeng helplessly shook his head at them. These men were truly weird. They just met for the first time but they were already acting like they were close.

What happened to the proper atmosphere of a formal business meeting?

The reserved Linfeng felt discomfited by their unexpected jolly and open personalities, as they acted rather intimately like they were all close to him.

”Let me take a guess, is she beautiful, sweet and cool?” Erich joined the teasing as well.

Linfeng did not answer and furrowed his brow.

”Can we start talking about business instead?” He said this with a faint frown.

When it came to his Young Miss, he could not help but feel a bit wary and defensive. Why should they know about her? It was not like they would be meeting her.

These five young men were all handsome, talented, and well-accomplished. Not to mention, their statuses were way above him. There was no need for them to know or meet his excellent Young Miss. He would not be so foolish as to make rivals for himself.

”Or is she named Xiong Zhi?” The only man who had remained quiet after the initial introductions earlier finally spoke while studying Linfeng closely.

Linfeng looked at the blonde man, his long, narrow eyes opening slightly wider in surprise. How did this man know about his Young Miss? Or rather, how did he know he was thinking about the Young Miss?

His eyes turned solemn in wariness.
