Chapter 643 - Sweet Nothings
It was a peaceful breaking dawn. A light breeze swayed the vibrant green leaves while the chirping of birds added a lively atmosphere in the air.
Two pale arms opened a window on the second floor of the East Wing of the Xiong Main mansion.
A freshly showered Xiong Zhi in a loosely tied robe stretched out as she breathed in the fresh air in the balcony. Seeing the bright rays of the sun slowly peeking on the horizon, she lightly smiled, her expression softening under the early morning light.
Today was the day Linfeng would return to the country.
Yesterday, she received a phone call from Linfeng.
The man had found a huge piece of information abroad that he could not even tell her through the phone. The man mentioned that the more he dug deeper, the more answers he found. However, he was still lacking evidences of Ming Zhi Yi's involvement in Guan Gao Huan's fake identity.
Xiong Zhi asked on the phone what she wanted to know the most.
'Who is the fake Guan Gao Huan?'
Linfeng did not answer her and simply told her that he would tell her personally.
Since tomorrow would be the day that the Guan Empire would have the voting for succession, Linfeng decided to let his men continue finding Ming Zhi Yi's connection to the fake Guan Gao Huan abroad while took the return flight back home.
Xiong Zhi cared about the investigation, but having Linfeng by her side was the top priority.
So she was happy with the news.
[Ring]
Her phone rang.
She excitedly answered the call.
"Linfeng."
"Good morning, Zhi'er, did I wake you up?"
"Good morning. I am already awake. Are you already at the airport?"
"Yes. Jang Shin is with me. I will be dropping by SC first."
Xiong Zhi's smile instantly collapsed.
Here she was, preparing herself for their most awaited reunion, but the man chose to delay their meeting. She even took a beauty rest and took care of her skin thoroughly last night for this day.
"You like seeing those taciturn men's faces instead of mine?"
"Are you sulking?" There was a hint of a smile in Linfeng's voice.
Xiong Zhi knew that the man was teasing her again. But she never liked to hide. "I obviously am, so make it up for me. I purposely prepped myself beautifully since yesterday for you. Who knows that you'd want to see buff men first before your girlfriend."
Linfeng chuckled as he walked with his entourage towards the car. "There's no need for prepping up, my girlfriend is a natural beauty. If you get prettier, then I will be in trouble. Are you trying to blind me?"
Jang Shin who was walking beside him threw Linfeng a disgusted expression like he was about to barf.
Linfeng's face was still as smooth as clear waters and Buddha, as if he was not the person who spouted the goosebump-inducing, sickeningly sweet words.
Xiong Zhi harrumphed with a faint smile. "How can you still say that I am a natural beauty? You are so busy that I doubt you still remember my face."
"Oh? Are you challenging me?" Linfeng stopped on his feet and gestured for others to head inside the car first, before lowering his voice. "I can still clearly remember, there are two light moles near your earlocks, a small mole at the base of your neck."
Then he lowered his voice further and pressed his lips towards the receiver.
A husky whisper barely came out.
"Also, there's one striking mole on your left b.r.e.a.s.t."
Then Linfeng mischievously strode forward and went into the car.
'....'
Xiong Zhi was stunned and unconsciously lowered her eyes to the white expanse of left b.r.e.a.s.t that was partially exposed through the loosely tied robe.
A small dot of a mole looked striking on the whiteness.
(? ???-??? ?)? !!!!
Xiong Zhi blushed red like a tomato.
Because that night was so overwhelming, Xiong Zhi did not have the mind to look closely at every inch of Linfeng's body. Due to dim lighting, she was not able to get a good look at all.
Also, how could she have the time to study and memorize Linfeng's body when she was drowning in that intense state under him?!
It was not fair. She should take a look next time!
"Linfeng!" Xiong Zhi cried while blushing. "The next time I see you, I will strip you n.a.k.e.d and memorize every placement of your moles on your body, just you see!"
Due to her surprise and embarrassment at the sudden attack, her voice rose uncharacteristically loud that even Jang Shin who was beside Linfeng in the car heard that.
Jang Shin choked and tried to press down his coughs. He looked away woodenly.
These two really loved to flirt and feed people dog food. Could they take in consideration the single dogs around them?
Linfeng's peach blossom eyes curved up as a small dimple appeared on his cheek. "Then you better keep your word, my dearest Young Miss."
'Strip me n.a.k.e.d to your satisfaction.'
...She really missed him.
"Just finish what you have to do in your company, then come here to the mansion. I'll prepare your lunch."
"You're not going to the company?"
"Thanks to a certain someone, I arranged things in advance and took a day off."
"Cough. Alright, I'll see you later."
Then Linfeng kissed his phone.
Xiong Zhi returned a smooching sound of a kiss as well.
Jang Shin who was looking at Linfeng kissing his phone with a disgusted expression: "...."
He just looked away and pretended not to see anything.
Since SC had casually thrown out a sudden announcement a few days ago, the company was swarming with clients and guests, and piles of backlogged doc.u.ments and filtered proposals.
It took a long time before Linfeng could settle the doc.u.ments that needed his immediate attention.
It was already past lunch when he finally arrived at the Xiong Mansion.
