Chapter 497 - His Entrance (1/2)
Lu Yin Ze's silver blue eyes shone with a splendid light when he heard Xiong Zhi's 'answer'.
Could he consider it as her forgiving him?
Lu Yin Ze was truly happy.
He finally turned to look at her, his gentle face looking pleasantly surprised.
”Xiong Zhi—”
”I know I've been talking a lot here, and a lot of you are wondering if it is another 'coronation' day. The last time we commemorated a day like this, I was introduced to everyone.”
A sound of agreeing murmurs and nodding followed.
Erich's speech was finally coming to the point.
The guests held in their breaths and anticipated what the man in front would say.
Would the sixth king be truly born today?
In the midst of the excited crowd, Lu Yin Ze's mind was not there.
His eyes were only focused on the woman who had occupied his mind for a long time.
”Xiong Zhi…”
Xiong Zhi could no longer pretend that she did not hear him, so she turned to face him.
Her face was still cold and her eyes contained a sharp look.
Lu Yin Ze: ”I want to apologize for my rudeness before.”
The voice from the speakers still resounded in the background.
”…We prepared for this day to celebrate the success of ZD, and also…”
Lu Yin Ze: ”I know I am wrong, I am truly sor—”
”I left you my decision the last time we met,” Xiong Zhi cut him off.
”If you give up in your feelings for me, I can accept you as my friend again.”
Lu Yin Ze felt that his heart was stabbed.
”I know that liking me is your business, but I can't stay as your friend knowing that. I don't want any ambiguity with other men.”
”Xiong Zhi…”
”I am with Linfeng, and I can't have you around if you have ambiguous feelings for me. I will only have Linfeng in this life.”
Lu Yin Ze clenched his fist, feeling another bout of pain in his chest.
He had prepared himself before approaching her.
He knew how ruthless Xiong Zhi was. She did not like gray areas. Her likes and dislikes were clear. Alas, her words were still crushing.
However, he had already settled this matter in his heart. There was no way he could give up on her. He just couldn't.
But he also did not want to become alienated from her. He just wanted to be near her. So he knew what to answer.
”I am…” He started.
”…to everyone the new member of our group…”
Lu Yin Ze: ”…willing to…”
Xiong Zhi distractedly raised a hand to stop him.
”Hold on. Let's continue this afterwards.”
Lu Yin Ze: ”…Eh?”
”This is a very important moment.”
The woman then took out a slim camera from her purse. She turned to face the door and started filming.
Lu Yin Ze: ? ? ?
The cool and indifferent woman in front of him transformed akin to… a fan following a star?
Her usually calm eyes were bright at this moment, and her face was pursed up as if she was holding down a smile while trying to remain expressionless.
Lu Yin Ze: …Were you even listening to me?
Erich finished the suspense. ”…Here is the sixth member of our brotherhood, who will share our joy and sorrow, Mr. Zhuo Linfeng!”
The door opened once more.
A tall and handsome man entered the hall.
His slim fit black suit accentuated his tall and well-built figure. Broad shoulders, strong chest, slim waist, and straight back. His long legs stretched unhindered with each stride forward.
Linfeng's sharp eyebrows and long lashes were clearly exposed to the public's eyes. His dark peach blossom eyes looked straight ahead.
