Chapter 502 - Gold against Silver (1/2)

He was a golden bachelor whom many ladies sought after, but he unbelievably met this kind of setback from a mere woman.

Also, there seemed to be an inexplicable draw that was compelling Guan Gao Huan to want to get Xiong Zhi's heart.

Perhaps, it was because of that butler who challenged him many times. Or perhaps, because he wanted to get the most difficult trophy as his achievement.

Guan Gao Huan's thoughts were deep but his long legs began to follow after Xiong Zhi once more.

He had to get the answer out of her.

Why was she avoiding him like a plague, to the point of finding him repulsive?

He did not believe her answer at all.

The ladies who were waiting for a chance to talk to Guan Gao Huan approached him, but he politely excused himself.

He did not understand it himself, he just wanted to follow her.

But a question popped up.

Then what?

The woman was clearly guarded against him and did not want his existence near him.

The familiar bitter and unwilling feeling once again rose in Guan Gao Huan's heart.

He was no longer an orphaned kid in the slums. Yet, that woman dared to look down on him and treat him like a disgusting fly.

This very pride of the Xiong's heiress made him covet this young miss even more.

He wanted to get hold of her, then break her wings slowly.

His lashes lowered, covering the eerie light within his golden eyes.

…

Xiong Zhi had been stopped by other guests many times.

Many were gentlemen who wanted to strike a conversation with the intention of warming personal relationsh.i.p.s on the table. She was getting fed up. She was rejecting the Nth man's invitation when in the corner of her eyes, she saw the hateful beast coming to her direction again.

The woman's black phoenix eyes narrowed.

Xiong Zhi immediately excused herself from the person in front of her and walked away to find another group to talk to.

The brown-haired man's strides also speeded up.

Xiong Zhi felt her anxiety rise again.

She did not like this feeling at all, as if she was a prey being watched by the beast, as if he would be pouncing on her at any moment, tearing her to shreds.

Was this man still trying to approach her?

What now?

Xiong Zhi did not want to get near him nor talk to him.

She felt that when she was alone with him, or in a closer distance to him, she would be knocked out anytime and locked into a room for him to torture. While evading the nearby guests, she glanced behind once more.

He was looking straight at her.

Xiong Zhi's heart skipped a beat.

The familiar terror was slowly awakening.

'Linfeng...'

She turned sharply and strode forward, but at that moment, she suddenly bumped onto someone's back.

”Oh?”

A familiar voice sounded in front of her.

Lu Yin Ze's silver hair glistened under the warm lights as he turned around in confusion.

What he saw was Xiong Zhi's pale face.

”Xiong Zhi,” he frowned worriedly. ”Are you alright? You look pale.”

Xiong Zhi's mind was still on the chase.

She turned and glanced behind once more.
