Chapter 410 - Forced to Fed Dog food (1/2)
'So, this was Tang Yin.'
She looked pure and pretty.
Xiong Zhi watched intently as the shy girl was showered with applause and murmurs of praise.
”Wow, I never knew that the Second Young Miss and the Eldest Young Miss are so different from each other,” Guan Gu Ri could not help but comment at the side. His voice showed no malice but complete honesty.
”They are indeed a bit different, but both are still females from the Tang family after all,” Linfeng chipped in. The two was a bit closer now with a favorable impression to each other.
”Oh? You seem to know them well.”
Xiong Zhi's ears twitched.
Linfeng laughed at the side. ”Yes, I've trained as the Second Young Miss's butler for a time when I was young.”
”Truly? Oh, right, I've heard that your Zhou family is quite close with the Jang family. So the two families exchanged butlers from time to time?”
”Yes, we did before. I'm not sure though if my clansmen still want to cooperate for the next time.”
They were not the same Zhou family before.
His family would likely not take the butler's path again, which was to exist solely serving the master strictly like the Jang family, but venture off to other industries. Right now, the family's focus was to reorient the worldview of the family members.
”I see,” Guan Gu Ri nodded and tactfully did not dwell on that direction of the conversation anymore.
Xiong Zhi asked Linfeng out of curiosity. ”Linfeng, is this your first time seeing her after so many years?”
She wondered what he was feeling right now, seeing his former master.
There was a sour smell in the air.
Linfeng paused and looked at her. He suddenly felt that telling her that he met Tang Yin a few weeks ago would be a bad thing.
Xiong Zhi: ”???” Why look at her like that?
”Young Miss, your voice sounds off. Does your throat hurt? Drink a bit of water.” He poured water onto the glass and handed it to Xiong Zhi, trying to distract his young miss' thoughts.
Xiong Zhi obediently drank the water and glanced at Tang Yin who was currently giving her thanks to the crowd.
”So, how do you feel now that you saw her again?” she persistently asked. She really wanted to know.
Linfeng chose a few snacks that were not too sweet or greasy and put it on her dessert plate before answering. ”Nothing much, just usual.”
”Usual? Does it feel different from when you saw me again after a few years?”
Linfeng helplessly looked at the bright eyes of the woman beside him. Those eyes clearly said, 'I'm not stopping until you give a satisfying answer'. His peach blossom eyes softened and his mouth curled up into a smile. He slightly lowered his head closer to her and whispered. ”Why do you seem so interested in her? It's making me jealous.”
Xiong Zhi's ears turned red under his hot breath. She turned away blankly and stared at the stage.
Humph! Jealous? She was the one who was jealous...
”Can't you just answer that?” Xiong Zhi murmured in a small voice. She too did not know why she was being petty like this.
She did not like the idea that the cute and pure Tang Yin met Linfeng first and even spent a spectacular childhood together!
Humph.
Not to mention, this childhood sweetheart seemed coquettish and cute, unlike her who always had a cold and expressionless face.
But her facial expressions were getting better, ah.
Linfeng leaned closer with mirth in his eyes. In the eyes of the public, it seemed that he was telling him something important.
”Zhi'er. You really should not act cute like this in public.”
Humph. Who's cute? Fine, the girl in the white dress indeed looked cute…
Then her face became unnatural.
…Did Linfeng just call her cute, or did she just hear it wrongly?
But Linfeng was not done yet. Seeing the dumb face of the awkward woman, far from the usual cool and composed CEO aura she had been sporting recently, he felt as if his heart was tickled with her cuteness and felt a strong urge to kiss her.
He leaned closer, his hot breath once again hitting her neck and ears. ”You're making me want to kiss you.”
”!!!!” Xiong Zhi's cheeks turned red and she almost jumped up. Her heart began to pound.
”Y-you... That's a foul. You should not make these kinds of jokes in public.” Xiong Zhi's voice was small.
Linfeng stared at the blushing face obsessively before brushing the hair on her temples. ”Hmm? Who told you I'm joking? I am not.”
His lowered voice sounded enigmatic, masculine, and husky.
Xiong Zhi's ears were pregnant. Inside, her inner heart was rolling around squealing like an idol fanatic.
Smelling the masculine scent of the man around her, she felt like leaning against him and rubbing her face on his chest, but held back.
