Chapter 542 - Sharing A Table (1/2)
Finally, Xiong Zhi and Linfeng arrived at the front area. They were not on the first row but on the second row instead. It was the table which Tang Xinyang arranged for them.
As the two sat down, the old men on the table before them who were silently observing the newly arrived pair was surprised.
”Your granddaughter will not be sitting on your table?” Old Guan from the neighboring table commented to Old Xiong. The tables for the legendary families were closer together compared to the others, obviously arranged by Mistress Tang.
”Why would she sit there?” Old Lu asked confusedly. It was a given that the juniors from the same family would be sitting by their elders.
”This despicable man!” Old Xiong angrily snorted.
When the Old Guan and Old Lu heard Old Xiong's annoyed words, they swallowed down their upcoming questions.
It turned out that the old man himself did not know as well that his precious granddaughter would not be joining them at their table.
It was only Lu Yin Ze who was silent and drank more. The moment he saw the two coming together hand in hand, he knew then that he would not be able to share a table with her.
Old Xiong harrumphed.
His granddaughter was not married yet, however, she was already separating herself from her own grandfather!
Old Xiong kept glaring at the couple's table. Especially at Linfeng.
Linfeng leaned at Xiong Zhi. ”Your grandfather keeps glaring at me. Are you sure it is wise to not greet him? There's Master Lu and Master Guan over there as well.”
Xiong Zhi did not care. ”We can greet them later.” She then leaned against Linfeng. ”This is a good opportunity to shut up the others who have interest in you. It's good to give them hints that we are a couple.”
Xiong Zhi was obviously snuggling against Linfeng now.
Linfeng chuckled. ”I think many people will get angry at me for hogging the most amazing woman's interest.”
Xiong Zhi: ” They will get angry, but won't you be even angrier if someone else showed interest on me?”
Linfeng narrowed his eyes and held her hand. ”Let them try. I will let them know just who they are facing.”
Over his dead body would they get to touch his woman.
Xiong Zhi understood Linfeng's meaning. The corner of her lips turned up.
”...Fine, as if you will let them.”
The two looked at each other while showing their deep love in their eyes.
There were murmurs around them. Many eyes were watching their every move.
Xiong Zhi could not help but point out this situation. ”Come to think of it, this is our first time sharing a table in front of these people, right?”
Linfeng looked around. The eyes around them was throwing them intrigued looks. The faces clearly wondered what was the real relationship between them.
Linfeng smiled. ”You forgot, when we came to the Tang's banquet last time, you asked me to sit beside you.”
”That's different. You attended as my butler back then. At that time, there just happened to be a free seat.”
”Then I guess this is really the first time I officially came as your partner, sitting on the same table with you like a normal guest.”
Xiong Zhi was happy. ”You've come a long way just to sit with me. Thank you, Linfeng.” She tightened her hold on his hand. She sincerely expressed her gratefulness in her heart.
Xiong Zhi did not care about Linfeng's status. But no matter what she thought, it was a fact that their status was a huge wall that they needed to overcome.
Now, Linfeng had made it possible for their relationship to continue and get approved by the world.
At least now, no one would scold them for acting shamelessly and going against the norm.
Linfeng had made it all possible.
Her sincere thanks and loving eyes made Linfeng want to give her the whole world.
His eyes softened. ”Zhi'er, I could not have done it alone. All the years I endured are thanks to you. You made me work hard towards my goal and be happy at the same time. Thank you for your patience.” Xiong Zhi had waited for him and supported him all throughout. He could not achieve both status and happiness without Xiong Zhi.
The couple once again fell into their own woven magic, forgetting everything else.
The onlookers who was initially doubting what their relationship was began to understand the meaning of the intimacy between the pair.
Shocking!
The atmosphere between the newly established sixth king and the Xiong Heiress was not just for friends or business partners. This was clearly the air of a couple in love!
”I am sorry to interrupt, but I'll be sharing the same table with you.” A voice of a woman made the pink bubbles in the air pop.
Xiong Zhi's brows twitched slightly. She looked up at the handsome beauty who appeared before them.
”You always have a bad timing,” she muttered.
”What?” Tang Xinyang asked with an innocent look.
Linfeng: ”Just sit down. Where's Jang Shin?”
Tang Xinyang sat on one of the empty chairs. ”He is helping William change clothes.”
Xiong Zhi was stunned. ”What happened?”
”There is a small fight, and William has to change clothes.”
Xioong Zhi and Linfeng looked at eah other. They understand what happened without Tang Xinyang retelling the whole story.
