Chapter 510 - Meeting 'Zhi'er' (III)
….
Caleb gasped, remembering that small grudge.
"Oh, that 'Zhi'er'... So you, you are the one whom he always talked to on the phone! I remember it clearly. The youngest never gave me face, he always devoted his breaks on you!"
Xiong Zhi: "...."
Why did she feel that this man was jealous? Was it just her?
Also... Linfeng was really sweet.
Xiong Zhi thought of rewarding a kiss to Linfeng later.
William chuckled. "Don't get jealous." He looked at Xiong Zhi and explained. "Don't mind him, he doesn't mean bad. Caleb is just really sensitive towards relationsh.i.p.s. All of us are his 'boyfriends' and best friends. If his place gets taken away by someone, he'll grumble about. Anyway, it's just a small peculiarity."
Xiong Zhi raised a brow, "Sensitive? You make it sound like he's a child of a broken family and none of his parents want him…"
Surprise flickered in Caleb's grey eyes. William and Eugine also looked at Xiong Zhi as if surprised and admiring at the same time.
Xiong Zhi's voice trailed off and she shut her mouth. She was just casually making a sarcastic remark, yet it turned out be true. It was mindless of her.
"I'm sorry for my rudeness." There was no hint of empathy at all in her voice, as if she was just excusing her impolite behavior.
Eugene stared at Xiong Zhi.
"Caleb's big mouth got us all curious and tried to get your identity out many times from Linfeng. But after several inquiries, honestly, you look nothing like the one we saw in pictures. We even watched you and Linfeng talk once in a video call—"
William and Caleb glared at Eugene.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtXiong Zhi was stunned. "Which video call?"
Eugine avoided eyes and sweated.
"Nothing, haha. Have you tried the fresh salmon in balsamic vinegar served earlier? It's incredible."Find authorized s in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #'zhi'er'-(iii)_52137742766757150 for visiting.
Xiong Zhi's eyes narrowed.
"Which video call?"
Her tone was sharp and cold.
William, Caleb, and Eugene swallowed.
The woman in front of them collided with the memory of the threatening eyes and cold aura from a young but early matured man. She looked very much like the youngest at that time.
Eugene, the kindest among them who could not bear to lie to one of his closest friend's girlfriend, spilled the beans.
"It's a year ago. After Caleb told us about this 'Zhi'er', we all got curious and checked out all the girls near him. But we could not find someone who could be Zhi'er."
Xiong Zhi crossed her arms elegantly, her face indifferent.
"I am the only woman near him…" Because she would not allow anyone else to come near her boyfriend. "…So there isn't much to look into, just me. Among the ladies around her, I'm the only one who got 'Zhi' in my name. How come you did not even know that?"
Xiong Zhi already threw her manners to the window when speaking to these gentlemen.
For her, these attractive gentlemen in the eyes of others turned into lonely kids in her eyes.
"Well, we did not think of you, because you're technically his master. No offense meant but, people don't really think that it's possible for a master and butler to become a couple with equally passionate feelings. It's almost as bizarre as saying that a Wall Street billionaire CEO is a house maid's boyfriend. Because Linfeng is usually very conservative and stubborn about many things, I never thought he would be like that, to be honest."
Xiong Zhi's mouth opened, but in the end, she fell silent.
That's right.
Even she had never thought of it too in her previous life.
Only until Linfeng died in front of her that she realized her love for Linfeng could overcome that belief.
In this second lifetime, she never once cared if Linfeng was a butler.
However, Linfeng and the rest of the world did not think the same.
This was why Lifeng worked even harder to get his family's name out from the butler industry.
Xiong Zhi suddenly had a thought.
Should she… try to convince Linfeng to stop working as her butler?
Eugene glanced at Xiong Zhi. She was very different from the one they had seen on the screen before. It doesn't connect to that sweet and adorable girl, ah.
"We never had an idea who this 'Zhi'er' was, until William told us that we should hack Linfeng's phone and see this woman for ourselves."
Silence.
"What?"
Xiong Zhi's thoughts halted, disbelieving her ears for a second.
Her eyes fell on the uncle who squirmed uncomfortably.
William hastened to explain. "In fact, I already paid for that. The youngest already took revenge on me! He actually found my embarrassing photos and displayed them on my page. He also treated me coldly for almost half a year, that guy."
"…"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmXiong Zhi turned to Eugene.
"So which video call have you watched?"
She was more concerned about this.
She really did have some embarrassing video calls with Linfeng.
If… if it was one of those…
Xiong Zhi turned red.
In her memories, she only made three embarrassing videos with Linfeng.
She had called Linfeng every day, three times at most in one day. There were many videos, it should not be one among those three, right?
Eugene looked at his two friends pitifully, quietly asking for help.
This 'Zhi'er' was really very different to the person they had seen on the screen before.
It was not his fault that he accidentally spilled the beans!
Under the pressure of the woman's cold eyes which resembled their youngest, Eugene kindly dug more pit for William, who was slowly stepping away from them to escape.
"Err... It's that time when you were about to sleep and Linfeng did not have his lunch yet."
Xiong Zhi: ….?
There were many instances when she called Linfeng at night just before sleeping. Her sleeping time usually happened to coincide with Linfeng's lunch.
However, those three embarrassing videos happened before she slept as well.
Xiong Zhi stiffened.
It's not one of those, right?
"Linfeng usually ate in the office while working. However, whenever you called before, he would drop whatever he was working on and spend time with you. At that time, Linfeng hadn't eaten lunch yet. You were convincing him to eat lunch first...." .
