To Love You Again

Chapter 387 - It turns out it could be like this… (II)

"Right, my boyfriend's friends ought to be really angry with those things."

...Boyfriend.

Linfeng coughed.

Young Miss was really playful, making fun of him during office hours. Though he thought of that, the corner of his lips had a smile.

Xiong Zhi caught on that. Suddenly, she wanted to be alone with Linfeng and do lovey-dovey things.

"Linfeng, after Xiong De's case, let's go on a date again?"

"...Date?" Linfeng was caught off guard by the sudden question.

"Ahem." Xiong Zhi changed her words. "What I mean is, let's take a break after this case."

They were too busy these days. Every time there was a chance to rest, they should grab the chance to cultivate harmonious feelings.

Revenge was important. But now, having Linfeng on her side once more and not taking advantage of it was a loss for her. Spending time with Linfeng alone was very important.

Linfeng's smile froze on his face.

He suddenly remembered the last break they had.

The rest house. The soft couch. The steaming hot afternoon....

Stop, stop!

If his mind wandered more, it would lead him to some embarrassingly hot moments...

"That..."

...Would the situation repeat again? Was she talking about that?

Should he be happy or nervous about it?

Should he prepare his heart and mind, chant more scriptures to become a saint, so that he would not lose control of himself again?

Xiong Zhi tilted her head. She noticed the stiff smile on his face and the sweat that suddenly formed on his forehead.

Why was Linfeng so troubled about it?

She really did not understand how a man's mind worked. A man's thoughts was hard to fathom like searching for a needle under the sea.

Whatever, a date must follow.

Were there still many things left to do?

Hmmm... Should she quicken the pace and do this clean up in one go?

Xiong Zhi thought of finishing Xiong De as soon as possible since the last gate for his escape was already sealed.

"Zhi'er, let's just take things slowly, shall we?" Linfeng patted her hair and kissed her forehead. "How about a movie?"

Xiong Zhi was confused by his first sentence but then heard the word 'movie'.

A date!

She wanted to experience that, too.

A romantic movie with a popcorn and a cola. Then their hands would touch and their eyes meet. Slowly, their faces would come near to each other and their lips would meet...

Another chance for a romantic kiss!

"Alright!" Xiong Zhi let out a huge smile and answered with enthusiasm.

Linfeng was suddenly attacked by cuteness.

'Ah, I can't help it after all.'

He then leaned down and quickly pecked on the lips.

!!!

Xiong Zhi was stunned by the sudden kiss.

Linfeng smiled embarrassedly and excused himself. "Well then, I'll sort out the files outside..."

Thud.

The door closed and the dazed Xiong Zhi touched her lips.

She held a strange notion that a kiss would come only when the mood was right or under special occasions. Like on the school trip, the farewell kiss years ago, the welcome kiss during the banquet, and that kiss during their date...

Perhaps because she usually studied beforehand and planned to make it happen.

So...it turned out... She could steal a kiss like what he did.

Why didn't she think of that?

Xiong Zhi turned back to her computer with a sweet smile. She still felt the moisture on her lips.

Later, she should give Linfeng a deep kiss. There was no need to wait for a movie or a date anymore.

Right, they were already in a relationship. It was very normal.

Xiong Zhi squealed like a little girl deep inside her heart, before fixing her attention back to the file she was studying.

The backlog of company doc.u.ments, various arrangements, meetings, and appointments immersed her in work.

While the man outside the room rode on the lift with those red ears.

Later after the extremely hectic day at work.

They were on their way to the Xiong Mansion.

Inside the car, the exhausted Xiong Zhi was sitting on the back seat with a frown.

She felt that she forgot something important.

What was it?

The files? Did she sign all the things she needed to sign? Was there an appointment she had missed?

No, there should not be any.

Hmm...what was it?

On the pathway to the East Wing of the Xiong Mansion, Linfeng looked at his Young Miss who was in daze. He noticed since earlier in the car that his Young Miss was a bit out of it.

He called out to the troubled Xiong Zhi.

"Young Miss, are you alright?"

Xiong Zhi turned to him, frowning. She decided to speak out her thoughts. Maybe she would remember,

"I feel a bit unsettled. I think I forgot something—" Then she halted when she saw his handsome and tall figure.

It was a dark night but the faintly warm glow of the lamps illuminated Linfeng's gorgeous side face. His long lashes created a long shadow on his cheeks. His tall nose bride was aristocratic. His thin, s.e.xy lips which faintly shone with moisture, slightly opened, suddenly made her remember what she forgot.

"Ah..."

"Young Miss, what's the matter?"

Under the orange glow, his gentle eyes and the concern between his brows was blinding to Xiong Zhi's eyes.

"I just remembered."

"Remembered what?"

"To give you..."

She took a step closer to him. Her eyes searching his face.

"Give me what?"

"A kiss."

She crossed their remaining distance, gently tugged down his necktie, and tiptoed.

Her lips met his. Warm, moist, and full of his scent.

"A very deep one," she whispered between kisses.

Additional Scene:

Zhou Min was walking behind his master who was taking a walk to the east garden. No one knew aside from him, that the old man had been walking here in the garden to wait for a certain person.

He then received a message from one of the butlers.

Butler X: Head Butler, Young Miss Zhi had arrived. She was on her way to the East Wing.

Zhou Min was about to report it to the old man when he saw from the distance that the two people they were waiting for halted in the pathway.

What the two were doing?

He was about to call them when he saw the Young Miss took a step nearer to his son, tiptoed and kissed the boy who had remained stunned.

"Ah.."

"What is it, Zhou Min?" The old man turned to him.

Zhou Min immediately blocked the view. It was a good thing it was night. The old man's eyesight too wasn't that good. It was a very good thing.

"T-the driver texted me that they are jammed in the traffic. Let's enter the East Wing first."

"Ah..." Zhou Min did not allow the old man to protest and gently pushed him back to the east wing.

After making sure that the old man was seating quietly in the East Wing living room. Zhou Min sighed in relief. He lied to his master for a second time to save his son's life. Sigh. It was not easy to be a father.

He then fished out his phone and texted his son, "We are in the East Wing." After hesitating for a while he added, "Kiss Moderately."
