Chapter 307 - Blossoms of Love
A private plane landed on the Capital City's airport.
Linfeng helped his Young Miss come down the plane. They went to the isolated VVIP exit hand in hand, unwilling to let go of each other. They wanted to savor the last bits of time they could be together.
There was a car from the Tang family already waiting for Xiong Zhi straight ahead, arranged by Jang Shin.
Xiong Zhi looked at Linfeng wistfully. She knew that he could not go with her to the Xiong mansion. They were already within the premises of the Capital City. It meant that they would be falling back under the surveillance of the Xiong family.
It signified that it was the time for them to part ways once more.
"When will we meet again?"
"Soon," Linfeng smiled reassuringly. He did not let go of her hand immediately and gripped it tightly.
Xiong Zhi faintly gave him a glaring look. "Soon. You always say that. I want a concrete answer this time." Unconsciously, her voice had a hint of coquettishness in it that only Linfeng could hear.
Linfeng tilted his head. "To be precise, we will see each other next week," he gave in.
Xiong Zhi could not help but feel a bit disappointed. If she was not mistaken, he was talking about meeting again during the retrial. And here she hoped they could meet up earlier, just by themselves.
Well, it was better not to be too greedy and just be satisfied with it, she surmised.
"I want to help, too," Xiong Zhi said once more, trying out her luck. The retrial would be coming in the next few days. She did not know what would happen. She herself felt that she was not able to do much. She was willing to do anything. If she needed to trade her title for Linfeng's pardon, she would gladly do it. But Linfeng never said anything.
Linfeng's heart softened. He squeezed her hand gently. "Young Miss, trust me. I am stronger than you think," he assured her.
The move he would be making at the retrial would be too big. It was safer if his Young Miss also came to know about it during that time, so that people would not unjustifiably suspect that she was collaborating with him secretly upon 'that' matter.
Linfeng glanced faintly at his watch. It was getting late.
He took a peek at his men at the side. They were not looking to their direction. Good.
He leaned closer to Xiong Zhi and whispered, "You don't have to worry about me. I told you that I have everything settled."
He then hooked his finger on her golden moon necklace. His fingertips scr.a.p.ed on her throat lightly.
She shivered.
"I almost forgot this. I haven't recharged it yet, have I?" His bright eyes looked gently at her.
Xiong Zhi's heart trembled. She was again reminded of the earlier events inside the old farmhouse. Her eyes traveled from his enigmatic eyes to his moist lips. She swallowed.
Her actions, in turn, also made Linfeng's mind revisit the fiery hot scene earlier. His throat constricted.
'Linfeng, Linfeng, get hold of yourself. You are out in the open. There are people around.'
He chastised himself repeatedly as he took a deep breath and forced down the rising impulse inside his body.
He directed his desire to kiss Xiong Zhi towards her necklace. He stared at her eyes with heated fervor and slowly lowered his head.
Xiong Zhi's eyes widened and her cheeks began to flush.
Eh? Was he going to kiss her in public?
However, Linfeng's face went down past hers and his lips affectionately kissed the moon pendant of the necklace. His heated eyes never left hers.
Xiong Zhi's cheeks burned hotly. She felt like her thoughts were very indecent. Instead of Linfeng kissing her necklace, it was another scene that popped in her mind.
Intertwined bodies, locked lips, and dark room.
Her heart pounded loudly as she shyly lowered her eyes from his scorching gaze.
Linfeng's eyes darkened and he peeked at his men again.
Their backs were totally on them. Good men, you just secured your raise.
He still held himself back. This was the capital with countless prying eyes. He must not compromise his Young Miss's reputation. That one lesson was already enough.
He whispered to her ears in a husky voice, "Young Miss, next time, it will not only be your necklace I will being kissing." He finally distanced himself and stood up straight. "That's why I really wished that this retrial will be finished as soon as possible." He sounded a bit dejected like waiting was such a bad idea.
Thumped. Thumped.
Xiong Zhi's mind processed Linfeng's words. She only heard the first part which was 'next time, it will not only be your necklace I will being kissing', the latter part had already turned to blurry as the earlier words kept ringing inside her mind.
So… he will kiss her, actively, next time?
There would be a next time!
That scorching and incredibly deep kiss of Linfeng, she would have it again!
Oh my. Xiong Zhi's mind exploded.
"O-oh… okay." She blushed, but her eyes shone with expectations in them. "I will be ready," she said bravely. "So… you can do it sooner if you like. I will be waiting." In the end, her real thoughts still came out.
The little woman's appearance with red face and misty eyes which seemed both shy yet looking forward to it made her look so adorable.
Linfeng, once again, has taken a huge arrow in his heart.
'Linfeng, Linfeng, get hold of yourself.'
Linfeng could bet his entire fortune that his Young Miss must be the cutest being alive on earth. He wanted to hold her in the palm of his hand so much and could not wait to give all good things in the world to her. If he could put her into his pocket and carry her with him anywhere, how great would that be?
He wanted to spoil her, to let her be free from any worries, and to let her live like a treasured and pampered princess.
But although he wanted to, Linfeng could not bear to do that. His Young Miss was more than a pampered princess. He could not limit his princess who was filled with ambition and drive. She was a successful woman bound to reign over the Xiong Empire, admired by all. He was proud of her and wanted to wholeheartedly support her.
Since he could not carry her into his pocket, he did not mind if he was the one carried by her in her pocket everywhere. A single call from her and he would come running.
As long as they were together.
He lightly chuckled at her straightforward reply. His eyes were filled with gentle affection for her. "Alright, my dearest Young Miss. You said it yourself. I will take your word for it."
Xiong Zhi smiled brightly. Now they both have something to look forward to.
The two stared closely at each other with that warm and tender atmosphere. The scent of warm spring and blossoms of love could be smelled from them even from afar.
