Chapter 3 - We meet again (1/2)

Xiong Zhi usually took a bath for an hour. But this time she only took ten minutes.

Without calling for maids, she wore her uniform, comb her own hair letting it flow freely in her back. Without putting any make up she hurried down stairs.

The maid that supposed to serve her were gossiping in the kitchen.

”Hey....have you seen Mr. Zhou today?” Maid 1 asked.

”Nope. Why? You know you should stop day dreaming about Mr. Zhou. Can't you see how he never see you? He probably doesn't know your name!” Maid 2 said.

Maid 1 scoffed.

”Stop it. You should know I won't listen to you. Who doesn't want to marry him? Even he has a son, he is still so handsome! And of course he's the richest among us who's working under Xiong!”

”Speaking of his son, I saw them today! His son is so gorgeous than his own father!” Maid 1 continued.

”Hey! Don't tell me you gonna seduce him? Your an old hag already! Leave it to us, the blooming maidens.” Retort maid 2.

Hearing this, Xiong Zhi can't help but imagine a scene where Linfeng was surrounded by pretty maids showing his usual gentle smile to her to the maids.

She felt uncomfortable in her heart.

Thingking Linfeng had a girl by his side loving her and protecting her.

There was an indescribable feeling, making her heart heavy.

This feeling was like a thiny thorn scratching her heart making it a bit painful.

But she promised not to be weak anymore...

'In this lifetime, I will do everything to make Linfeng love me again...to be finally be with him.

'Even he has a girl. I will snatch him away from her.

'Linfeng...In the past you stayed and loved me secretly by my side...This time...I will boldy express my feelings to you.'

Having courage, she took another step and cough loudly. She look coldly at maid 2 and said:

” What are you gossiping about? If my grandfather heard you he will surely not let you take another step in Xiong mansion ever again nor to see whom you want to see.”

She passed like she had not say anything. While the maids were left with open mouth.

”The....The young miss...spoke...She spoke!”

(A/N: of course she can speak she's not mute )

They did not seem to focused on the fact that the young miss warned them.

----------------------------------------------

In the dinning table Xiong Zhi sat to her usual chair. She was early than usual. The food was being served and the maids secretly peeked at her. Their young miss was early today. What scared them was their young miss sat there unmoving, unblinking, with her usual cold expressionless face. If not for the light raise and down of her chest she would be mistaken us a beautiful statue.

Xiong Zhi was waiting for her grandfather. Actually, Xiong Zhi was holding her excitement and anxiety meeting her grandfather again after five years, the last time she had seen him.

Even she did not had an attachment to the old man he was still her guardian. Even the old man saw her as his pawn he never scheme at her. The only mistake he has was choosing that beast to marry her to him.

She want to say many things to the old man, her hatred and her thanks.

But when she saw the old man walking towards her all her words was stuck at her throat.

The old man still had his domineering aura that seemed that there was a written title in his forehead : 'I am a King. Bow on me you commoner. '

Swallowing hard, she stands up and bowed respectfully to her grandfather.

”Good morning grandfather, have you had a good night rest?”

She still remember her usual greeting every morning.

Her grandfather looked at her and passed her while saying :

”You will meet Zhou Min's son today. Your aide. ” grandfather said expressionless.

Followed by him was Zhou Min, Linfeng's father.

Xiong Zhi looked behind his back. Wanting to see Linfeng. Not seeing him, she become anxious.
