Chapter 288 - Is suddenly interrupted (2/2)

Beside her, Linfeng shot the same cold glare at the man who had shamelessly interrupted their two-person world.

This snake definitely did it on purpose.

Because he was immersed in their 'own' world, he did not take notice of him when he crossed the bridge or when he stood there in the entrance of the shrine. When only Gao Huan purposely let his presence out that he felt the chilling gaze on his surrounding.

Guan Gao Huan did not answer. He lit up a few joss sticks and put it on the altar. He then looked back at the pair.

Seeing both of their eyes filled with revulsion, especially the cold and annoyed eyes of a certain someone, Guan Gao Huan could no longer maintain the fake smile.

”...”

His face turned chilly.

It seems like the rumor and the information he had gotten was true.

”Aren't we here in a shrine? A shrine recommended by the town. Like you, I am here to pray.” Yet Guan Gao Huan did not kneel nor bow.

”Rather than me… How about you? It seems like praying was not your only business here,” Guan Gao Huan coldly said. ”Am I right, 'butler' Linfeng?” He looked at them with a meaningful smile that did not seem like a smile.

”It's none of your business,” Linfeng coldly answered. He turned to his Young Miss and protectively put his arm around her shoulders. ”Let's go, Young Miss.”

Xiong Zhi withdrew her gaze and nodded at Linfeng. She also did not want to look at this person any longer.

Seeing the couple turn to walk away, Guan Gao Huan was silent for a moment, pushing down the anger in his heart.

He schooled his face back to it's usual gentle façade. Then, he called out.

”Xiong Zhi.” His voice sounded a bit imploring. It was very subtle, though. And if one looked closely, his eyes were very cold.

Xiong Zhi's goosebumps popped out from her skin. She looked at him in aversion. She did not want her name to be uttered by him at all. Perhaps, if it was another girl, they would be fooled by his antics and soften their heart to accommodate him, after all, he was really good at it.

But she was someone who knew his true nature and had faced a tragic fate caused by him. She would never be fooled by him in this lifetime.

She only felt disgust welling up from within her.

”Third Young Master Guan, I'm not someone you can casually call by name. Mind your manners,” Xiong Zhi said coldly. She held Linfeng's hand and pulled him to leave the shrine.

Guan Gao Huan's golden brown eyes flashed darkly.

His chilling eyes stared coldly at the pair who was leaving. When the pair was finally out of his sight, he unleashed the murderous aura he had been holding. His furious eyes glanced at the joss sticks. He then kicked it and stomped it on the wooden floor. He just stopped when the joss sticks were reduced to ashes.

He inhaled deeply.

This was not going well. He needs to get closer to Xiong Zhi and confidently say to that man that he have her. But that young miss has a strong rejection towards him.

What he even do that makes her so repulsive of him?

Gao Huan covered his other eye.

The intimate scene he had saw earlier replayed in his mind.

The young miss of Xiong, his fiancee, clearly has feelings towards that dog. Getting his fiance's affection from that man might be hard, especially that dog knew how to bite.

Gao Huan closed his eyes. No matter, she would still end up with him.
