Chapter 339 - A gift (1/2)

Lu Yin Ze always gave everything that he found 'good' to Xiong Zhi.

Whether it was a delicacy that he came to know as the most delicious one in a country he was visiting, or a piece of jewelry that would look good on her, or a rare gorgeous flower.

This gift was no different. He found it a week ago during his business trip. The moment he set his eyes on it, Xiong Zhi's image appeared in his mind.

He pushed the box gently to Xiong Zhi's direction.

”I found it a week ago. This would surely suit you.”

His casual demeanor made it appear as if it was only natural to give her gifts. However, his heart was thumping fast. This happened every time he wanted to give her a gift. He hoped that this time, she would accept it.

Xiong Zhi glanced at the beautiful box. She has been studying religiously the matters between men and women. Naturally, she came to understand that gifts like this were out of the normal bound of friendship but more of that of a man giving gifts to the woman he fancied. Regardless of her friend's intention, she did not want to risk involving herself in an ambiguous relationship other than with Linfeng.

That was why, she stopped accepting Lu Yin Ze's gifts since months ago.

Xiong Zhi pushed back the gift box. ”Thank you, but I can't accept it.”

Her voice was cold like usual.

Lu Yin Ze already expected her rejection, but he still felt a pang on his heart. He swallowed bitterly. However, he was not the same weak Lu Yin Ze before who would simply watch her walk away and be with her man.

Xiong Zhi was a single woman and a very attractive one at that. Since there was no way she could end happily with her butler, he wanted to steal her heart and gain her affection. He did not want give Xiong Zhi to other men.

His heart was filled with motivation and stubbornness.

As her grandfather said, love was war.

He believed that with his persistence and faithfulness to her, he would eventually move her. Just like how his grandfather moved his grandmother's heart.

This what he had been doing for the past two years whenever he had a chance to be with her.

So unlike the feeling of gloom in his heart, he showed a bright smile.

His pearly white teeth were exposed, his beautiful face becoming more brilliant. With a playful look, he said, ”Come on, Zhi. You didn't even open the gift yet. You will surely fall in love with this like I did.”

Xiong Zhi shook her head. She admitted that the man in front of her was really a rare specimen. However, even if Lu Yin Ze used his face, it has no effect on her. There was only one face that could make her heart beat fast.

”I have no desires in these kinds of things. You better give it to Xuantin, she'd appreciate it much better than I do.”

Lu Yin Ze's smile faltered a bit. He looked down. If that would not work, then...

Lu Yin Ze's entire being became gloomy and sad.

His long lashes drooped down and the silver-blue eyes turned a shade darker. The smile on his face faded and a pitiful look replaced it. The aloof, noble, and gentle immortal turned into a pitiful little puppy.
