Chapter 400 - Sweet Elevator Ride (II)

Linfeng patted her head and let her continue.

"I started IHZHI when I was sixteen. Do you remember that day when you were first introduced to me? I talked to grandfather and made a deal with him, to build a successful company in a few years. This is that company I built with my own hands to hold my end of deal."

Linfeng naturally remembered that day clearly.

He was surprised to know that the Young Miss he met that day was different from the reports. She was said to be indifferent, unfeeling, and stoic. Yes, she was indifferent and sometimes cold, yet her eyes burned with passion and resolute will. And every time those pair of eyes turned towards him, they seemed to change, as if trying to express something, full of complicated emotions.

How could he forget that day?

It was the beginning of everything, when the young Linfeng became confused.

He smiled. "En. I remember."

"I am not trying to hide it from you, but at that time, it was not something worth talking about yet. I also was busy with a lot of things back then..."

Such as chasing you, she thought.

"But I want to be transparent to you now as much as I can. Xiong De's matter is not the only thing that I am working on. There are still a lot that I am trying to figure out."

Xiong Zhi took a deep breath and held his other hand.

Linfeng watched as his Young Miss held both of his hands gently, while looking at his eyes with earnest sincerity.

Sometimes, he thought that his Young Miss was more handsome than him, making his heart flutter with suave actions.

"As you know, I am investigating something with Lu Yin Ze. You should also know, I have a grudge with that father and daughter pair, and with Guan Gao Huan as well—"

Linfeng's heart skipped a beat on this. So Young Miss knew that he noticed all these?

"Whatever I do, you have always helped me out unconditionally, without any questions. Just like with Xiong De's stuff. I am happy that you are patient with me..." Xiong Zhi held his hand tight.

"About the reasons for these, I am afraid I have to ask you for more time. Can you please be patient with me a bit more?"

Xiong Zhi wanted to tell Lifeng about everything.

How Xiong De and Xiong Wuyue made her suffer before.

What Guan Gao Huan had done to her.

The fall of the legendary Xiong family in her past life.

But regarding those conspiracies in the past, she was still not very clear about the whole picture. How could she explain to him things that even she was confused about?

She was not even sure if telling these things like her rebirth would affect her relationship with Linfeng. She was afraid that it would affect their relationship negatively.

She trusted Linfeng. However, she was still afraid. What if Linfeng no longer looked at her the same way, knowing that she had been touched by a beast before?

This was a fear brought by the cruel reality of human nature that the society looked at the r.a.p.e victim with colored spectacles, as if they were sinners.

Even thought it was in another lifetime, it could not erase the trauma it had caused to her and that she had been forced s.e.x.u.a.lly under another man, other than him. What if he minded?

Also, what if he came to know that...that one of the reasons why she wanted to become intimate with him was to replace those bitter memories?

Would he still see her with the same eyes filled with affection?

Before she got together with Linfeng, she had not given these much thoughts. But after becoming together with him, she began to fret about them, for fear of losing him.

But if Linfeng insisted on asking right now, she probably would tell it no matter how unbelievable it was, no matter what the consequences would be.

She could not bring herself to lie to him.

"..."

Linfeng saw again the familiar array of complicated emotions in Xiong Zhi's eyes. She looked very troubled.

He pulled her hands, brought her into his arms, and kissed her forehead.

"Why feel so troubled about it?" he murmured. "My Zhi'er must have reasons why she couldn't tell me the whole story now. Rest assured. No matter whoever it is you want to take revenge on, or whatever decision you make, even if you don't tell me the reason, I will do my best to support you."

"..."

"I believe that one day, you will tell me the reason in the future once you are ready. Can you promise?"

Xiong Zhi's eyes felt a bit hot and she buried her face on his chest. The frightening thoughts that filled her mind was slowly disappearing.

Soon. She would tell him soon. She had become much stronger than before. Soon, she would be strong enough to tell him.

Her arms rose and encircled his slim waist.

"Thank you," she whispered.

She felt him kiss her head.

She closed her eyes and felt the strong heartbeat.

"Cough, I am sorry to interrupt you both, but there are people watching here."

A steady voice of an a.d.u.l.t man sounded outside the elevator.

Standing outside was Fang Dien with a raised eyebrow and Xao Mei with a blushing face. Both fought to hide the gossipy look on their faces.

The two were shocked when they saw their cold and indifferent big boss acting mushy with her own butler! This was a million-worth gossip of the upper circles!

But their loyalty persevered. No matter what the boss was like, they would follow. Their huge salaries were on the line.

Thus, the two tried to act like they had seen nothing unusual.

Linfeng felt embarassed. He wanted to distance himself but Xiong Zhi's tight hug on his waist prevented him from doing so.

A muffled voice sounded from his chest. "Let's stay for a bit like this. I neglected my concub—my boyfriend earlier. This is to make up for you."

"..."

Young Miss, can you not comfort me this way in front of other people?

Linfeng with red ears gave an apologetic smile to the pair in front and pushed the 'close' button on the elevator, then pressed the 'standby' next to prevent the elevator from going elsewhere.

Ah, whatever. Since his Young Miss wanted a hug, just let her be.

Inside the closed walls, Linfeng hugged her back and put his chin on top of her head. A satisfied smile blossomed on his lips.

'Yeah, it's good to stay a while like this...'
