Chapter 266 - Today will be the day (1/2)
Tang Xinyang was surprised, and she turned to study Xiong Zhi. Xiong Zhi's expressionless face appeared delicate, like peach blossoms after the rain. Her fair skin and cool persona went well with her plain white shirt and plain jeans. She looked like a serious female student who was about to face an evaluation from her professor about her thesis.
”...She look like a girl,” Tang Xinyang answered confusedly at Song Xuantin's question. Her friend, Xiong Zhi was truly a beautiful girl. Refined, delicate, and beautiful!
”...”
Song Xuantin looked blankly at Tang Xinyang. Then she shook her head.
”Never mind. Since you can't even differentiate 'feminine' from the female gender, then I wish you luck. Forget about that! Let's talk about Jang Shin. What type of girl does he like?”
Tang Xinyang thought for a bit. ”Hmm. When we were young, he said he likes women who know how to cook and clean the house.”
Xiong Zhi's hand holding the glass of juice stilled at her answer. A woman who knew how to cook and do the house chores, that was a basic requirement for a housewife. It was normal for men to want this kind of woman.
But she did not know any of those. She looked at the cake she was eating. This cake was baked by Tang Xinyang. Even the handsome and manly Tang Xinyang knew how to bake. Although she seemed to know the answer, she still asked Tang Xinyang.
”Is that why you studied baking?”
Tang Xinyang grinned. ”Yes.” There's no bashfulness from her answer.
Xiong Zhi looked at her, her stoic face finally showing a hint of admiration. Then she looked down at the cake. Perhaps, she also needed to make some effort in studying cooking and cleaning.
Alas, love could really make people blind. A person of her status had no need to learn those. Perhaps, cooking could be pursued as a hobby, but cleaning was totally unnecessary.
Xiong Zhi who was blinded by love failed to think of that.
If she gave Linfeng a cake that she personally baked, what expression would he have?
Meanwhile, Song Xuantin shook her head in exasperation. ”Hmph! He is looking for a maid, not a lover then. What else did he say?”
Tang Xinyang thought more. ”Let's see... Right, he likes girls with long hair.”
Xiong Zhi and Song Xuantin both looked at Tang Xinyang's long hair. There was no question why the tomboy Tang Xinyang had kept her hair long.
”That's all?” Song Xuantin was disappointed at the lacking information. Love was war. One could not go into the battle unprepared, ah!
”Yes. Anyway, no matter what his type was, he is mine. I just want to find the ideal way to confess to him, because my way did not work,” Tang Xinyang declared like a domineering CEO.
”Wait,” Song Xuantin caught on something. ”What do you mean your way is not good? Have you confessed to him before?”
”I did. When we were twelve—”
”Oh, dear. Xinyang, you didn't tell me your friends are coming today,” a voice suddenly sounded as Mistress Tang appeared in the grand living room.
Song Xuantin and Xiong Zhi stood up and respectfully greeted the old woman.
Mistress Tang recognized one of the girls. ”Oh my, is it not Old Xiong's granddaughter? Zhi'er, is it?”
Xiong Zhi politely bowed at Mistress Tang. ”It's my pleasure to be friends with Tang Xinyang. Thank you for having me in the house.”
Mistress Tang waived her hand. ”Don't be so polite, it's my granddaughter's pleasure to have you two as friends. Finally, she brought female friends home for the first time. Feel free to visit any time. Thank you for taking care of my granddaughter.” The old lady's eyes dimmed as she continued, ”I hope Xiao Yui is here. She will be ecstatic to meet you.”
Her last sentence was filled with worry.
Tang Xinyang held her grandmother's hand. ”We will find Yui'er. Linfeng told me he had her location.”
Xiong Zhi's ear perked up, hearing her man's name.
Mistress Tang looked at Tang Xinyang with surprise. ”When? How? That girl cannot be found so easily once she hid herself.” Mistress Tang was clear of her granddaughters' talent and hobbies.
Tang Xinyang smiled. ”Linfeng was once Xiao Yui's teacher when it comes to hiding and covering tracks. How can she beat her teacher?”
Xiong Zhi's brow twitched.
'Linfeng was once a teacher of a Tang female member? How could that be possible?'
Linfeng had never told her anything about him having students.
”Oh. That's good, that's good.” Mistress Tang could only exclaim in pleasant surprise.
”We will talk about that after the trip, alright? We should not alert Xiao Yui for now. Believe me, grandma, we'll soon find her,” Tang Xinyang said earnestly to her grandmother.
”I understand. You know her best.”
Mistress Tang then looked at the girls.
”My apologies, I interrupted your talk. I'll just be upstairs. Enjoy your time, young ladies.” She bid them farewell and climbed up the stairs, her steps feeling lighter than before. The heavy weight in her heart lessened greatly at the thought that her granddaughter would soon be found.
Tang Xinyang apologetically smiled at the two girls standing quietly.
”Sorry about that. Grandma is a bit emotional when it comes to my little sister.”
