Chapter 532 - The Nights Beginning (1/2)

As soon as the couple went inside the car and were left to themselves, Linfeng pressed the button for the baffle.

Once the baffle was up, he put down his graceful pretense and immediately sn.a.k.e.d his hands around Xiong Zhi's slender waist.

He sat very close to her and hugged her to him lightly. He gave her a soft kiss on the temple as he was afraid of messing up her make-up.

”I missed you,” he whispered.

Xiong Zhi leaned her head on his shoulders.

”We are not able to see each other for almost a week...” she muttered.

She counted the days she had been away from Linfeng.

After Linfeng's appearance as the sixth king, many opportunities approached Linfeng, causing the other to be busier than ever.

Xiong Zhi dismissed Linfeng temporarily from his butler position for a week, so that Linfeng could focus on his work as SC's owner and do his duties as the sixth king.

Xiong Zhi understood that it was Linfeng's peak time wherein his career and business would meet a rapid expansion. This was the most critical time for his company's development.

So she just patiently waited like a housewife for her husband to come home. For the whole week, Linfeng and Xiong Zhi was not able to meet each other.

Xiong Zhi also busied herself with IHZHI's ongoing investigation on their lead in order not to miss Linfeng too much.

There was also the Xiong Empire she needed to handle. Her hands were also full.

However, because the lovers were not able to meet, their desire to see each other grew more intense, making this meeting feel more romantic and passionate than ever.

Xiong Zhi' hands caressed Linfeng's stony chest and she nuzzled her nose against his chin.

She loved his clean and masculine scent. She missed his warmth. Being intimate with him in every single moment she could possibly get was the thing she enjoyed the most. This was why she insisted on riding the car with Linfeng alone.

Thinking that Linfeng was becoming busier as he grew in his career, the thoughts that Xiong Zhi started to harbor since his debut as the sixth king rose in her mind again.

”Say, Linfeng...”

Linfeng looked down at Xiong Zhi.

Their faces were close.

Seeing the set of deep black eyes in a close proximity, Xiong Zhi could also see the trace of sleepless night in there. Her heart ached, but she also felt the importance Linfeng was giving to his achievements, and the hardwork he spent.

”Hmm...?” Linfeng made a sound when Xiong Zhi still did not speak.

Xiong Zhi raised a small hand and touched the corners of his eyes dazedly.

”SC is growing rapidly. And with your identity as the new king, many opportunities will keep coming. You will naturally be busier as time pass by...”

Linfeng was looking intently at her, watching her red lips move while she spoke. Her breathing tickled his face.

”What if...you consider to stop working under me?” Xiong Zhi continued.

”...”

Linfeng was stunned.

That came out of nowhere.

He caught Xiong Zhi's hand, frowning.

”Why do think of that? No matter how busy I am, I will not stop working for you.”

Xiong Zhi shook her head.

”That's not what I mean. I know you are talented and capable. But you are still human. You get tired and you also need sleep. I am constantly worrying if you ever managed to get a wink of sleep as SC's boss while acting as my butler at the same time.”

Linfeng then understood.

Xiong Zhi was worried that he was not getting enough rest and sleep.

His heart turned soft. He shook his head with a smile.

”I'm busy at the moment since SC has started growing and also because of my formal debut. However, this season will pass. Besides--” He took her hand to his lips. ”I will not be at ease if I am not by your side.” He kissed her hand.

Xiong Zhi watched him.
