Chapter 429 - Invitation From IHZHI (1/2)
”Achoo!” Jang Shin loudly sneezed.
Linfeng who was checking the doc.u.ments that Jang Shin had passed to him gave Jang Shin a glance.
”Are you sick?”
”Nah, impossible. I've never caught a cold. It's probably someone talking about me.”
”Tang Xinyang?”
”...Probably.” Jang Shin shuddered at the mention of that wicked woman. That woman was not planning of something insane again, was she?
Linfeng noticed the slight tremble of his friend's shoulder.
His curiosity was piqued. ”How are you and Xinyang?”
He just came back from abroad, thus he did not have a full understanding of how his two childhood friend's love-weird relationship turned out after two years.
”...Fine.” Jang Shin gave an ambiguous answer.
Linfeng raised an eyebrow as he continued to flip on the doc.u.ments. ”How 'fine' is it?”
Jang Shin: ”....”
So fine that he was always on the verge of a heart attack whenever that crazy woman played her pranks on him!
For some reason though, he felt a bit embarrassed telling his friend about it, which was unusual. He himself did not understand why.
He tried to answer in sullen tone. ”Incredibly fine.”
Linfeng threw him an 'I-know-you-are-lying' look.
Jang Shin hesitated for a moment then gave in.
The tall man suddenly plunged himself onto Linfeng's arms and cried without tears.
”Linfeng! It was so terrible! You have no idea! Why do you have to leave me here in the country for a long time! You don't know how much I suffered!” he wailed. ”That Xinyang... She… she evolved into something, something atrocious, abominable, and outrageous!”
”...You've learned new words.”
”And not only that, her goal changed from 'beating me up to death' to 'scaring me to death'! Hu-hu-hu! I missed you, Linfeng! Without you, I am an easy kill-able target for that shemale!”
”...”
Linfeng: …Jang Shin's vocabulary seemed to have gotten richer after a couple of years experiencing Tang Xinyang's might.
He looked at the strong a.d.u.l.t man who was wailing in his arms.
The image made him want to kick the guy away, but held back because Jang Shin was his closest friend and he did left him with many things in the country for a long time after all. And he had done a good job in those years.
So he patiently let him borrow his body as his grievance pillow.
He sighed and patted the man on the shoulder.
Since Linfeng came back to the country, he became busy with many things.
Reuniting with his Young Miss, the aftermath of the dissolution of the treaty, and handling the internal battle of the Xiong family.
Because of these matters, he did not have much chance to have an idle talk with Jang Shin.
Alright, it was also because he preferred to spend the tiny amount of free time he could get with his girlfriend…
It was only recently that the workload eased slightly.
Now that they were alone in the SC head branch's CEO's office, Jang Shin cried his heart out to his best friend.
”I was so scared dealing with her alone, you heartless bastard, hu-hu-hu…” Thankfully, no one else was around them, or else people would certainly misunderstand their relationship.
”Alright, that's enough.”
After patting him on the shoulders, Linfeng pried out Jang Shin's arms around his neck.
Maybe he should not have asked. Jang Shin never changed. He was still the sensitive yet insensitive guy he had left almost three years ago.
Still, his simple and straightforward nature was somehow comforting.
Thus, Linfeng became merciful and gave his friend a piece of advice.
”Xinyang won't kill you. You are the only one who thinks that way, you idiot. Look at it in a different angle.”
