To Love You Again

Chapter 185 - Thunder

Chapter 185 - Thunder

When all the people looked at her, Xiong Wuyue became slightly red.

"I mean..I am quite afraid to be alone. So..can you accompany me to my room until I fell asleep?" Xiong Wuyue carefully asked. Her eyes were a bit teary and her cheeks were red. She looked like an embarrassed girl trying to be brave. If it was any other man, they would be captured easily and would follow her whims.

But Linfeng was not any other man.

"Miss Wuyue if you're scared I will send a maid to your room to accompany you. Or if you want, I can hire a storyteller to lullaby you through bed stories."

Linfeng was not polite at all.

Xiong Wuyue bit her lips.

What could she do to make Linfeng stay with her?

"That- I mean the Young Miss, we should call your father so that Butler Zhou Min could take Young Miss home." Xiong Wuyue suggested. Today, no, for the rest of the week, Linfeng was hers.

Linfeng sighed.

'What this miss truly wants?'

"Please take a bath first, Miss. Wuyue." Linfeng did not say anymore and left. He needs to arrange things for Xiong Zhi. Now that another Xiong appeared, the elders need to present their faces in front of this new guest.

*******

They said girls took a long while - if not an hour the most- to finish their bath.

But it was only less than twenty-minutes and the two girls, the heiress of Xiong Empire, and the princess of the second branch were sitting in front of Linfeng looking cleaned and freshen-up.

The girls were following his every gesture with serious eyes. Not only that, but another three pairs of old eyes were looking at him as well. They were all waiting for him to explain the situation.

Linfeng had been standing in front of these people.

"Grandpa, Grandma, Grand-uncle, Young Miss Zhi decided to stay here for tonight."

The three oldies gulped.

A Xiong, specifically, a first-line at that were visiting them. It's a great honor. But this was very unexpected. They were not prepared. So this situation became a nightmare.

"I already called father and he reported it to Master Xiong. We already got Master Xiong's approval."

Linfeng then glanced at Xiong Zhi. They didn't have the time to talk to each other since Xiong Wuyue was quick in her bath and ran to them immediately. Afterward, the three elders horrified faces appeared in the living room. Linfeng did not have a chance to speak with Xiong Zhi alone.

So right now, he needs to make a chance for them to be alone and explain things to her clearly.

"Young Miss, I would like to tour you around. But it's late. I will escort you to your room and bring you dinner."

Xiong Wuyue opened her mouth to complain. But Linfeng was fast.

"Ms. Wuyue, since Young Miss' room was along the way. I'll escort you too. Please be comfortable here."

Xiong Zhi's ears perked to the words 'please be comfortable here'.

Linfeng continued to talk to Xiong Wuyue.

"I'm sorry I let you suffered here in Zhou Mansion. If there's anything you need, just tell me. I'll do my best to comply."

Xiong Wuyue's face became lively.

"It's alright. It's all my fault. Not yours. I got dizzy and faint. I'm happy you're there to help me up. And I'm sorry to cause trouble for you."

"No worries. It's the Zhou's honor to serve you." Linfeng said nonchalantly.

Xiong Zhi looked back between them.

Her eyes were suspicious.

She could guess what happened. But not the whole thing.

Linfeng seeing the obvious eyes of Xiong Zhi changed the subject.

"Young Miss and Ms. Wuyue let me escort both of you to the west wing-"

Bang!

Thunder!

But a louder thunder made all the people looked at the window. The heavy rain got wilder. It looked like a storm was brewing.

The Guest Wing was not connected to the Main Zhou Mansion. It was still a five-minute walk from here. So for them to go back to Guest Mansion, they need to face the raining buckets and the wild wind.

"..I guess. We should stay here a bit and go once the rain calms down." Linfeng suggested.

But after a couple of hours, the sky does not have a plan to calm down at all.

Xiong Zhi finally let go of her yawn that she kept fighting back.

Linfeng glanced at her and decided to let them stay here. He spoke and the people in the living room gave their attention to him.

"Maids, please prepare two guest rooms for young miss and miss Wuyue- " Linfeng then turned to Grandpa Zhou.

"Grandfather, please take a rest. Grandma and Grand-uncle, I will take care of everything here. It's deep in the evening, please take care of your body."

Grandpa Zhou shook his head.

"I might be old, but my body was trained like you. I will see them first to be taken care of.?Don't mind me. "

Linfeng nodded. His stubbornness was inherited from his grandfather. He then turned to the two girls who were still looking at him, waiting for his verdict.

"The maids already prepared two rooms for you. If you just need anything don't hesitate to call me. My room is on the same floor."

Xiong Zhi stayed quiet for a bit. She, Xiong Wuyue, and Linfeng would be on the same floor.

That's bad news.

She trusts Linfeng but she doesn't trust the snake Wuyue. Witnessing how Wuyue could scheme and would do everything to get what she wants, Xiong Zhi was afraid that Wuyue would suddenly barge in Linfeng's room and pushed him in the bed. Seduce My Man 101, opened a new world for Xiong Zhi. So she knew those shameless things could happen.

(a/n: ehem ehem have you forgotten you're one of those?)

Xiong Zhi opened her mouth and said shocking words.

"I'll stay in Linfeng's room."

The people in the living room got speechless.

Linfeng was speechless too. But because of Xiong Zhi's confession to him almost every day he recovered quickly.

He sighed again. He doesn't know what was inside his young miss's brain to be able to said things like this.

It was fine if they were alone.

But this would be misunderstood by these people.

"Young Miss, can't sleep well in other people's house." Linfeng made an excuse.

The oldies nodded with understanding.

Xiong Wuyue finally recovered from her shock. Then she got horrified by the thought that the elders might really allow Xiong Zhi and Linfeng to stay in one room. Her mind quickly ran.

"Young Miss, it would be misunderstood by people if they heard that you spend a night in a man's room. If you're that scared, I'll accompany you instead." Xiong Wuyue suggested with a smile. But her smile looked horrified. She just said things that she knew she would regret later.

She doesn't want to be in the same room as Xiong Zhi, but she would force herself to do it if Linfeng's chastity was at risk. Xiong Wuyue has the same thought as Xiong Zhi,?she was afraid that Xiong Zhi would force herself to Linfeng.

Linfeng, who unknowingly has his chastity being protected by the two girls, was more stunned at Xiong Wuyue's suggestion than what Xiong Zhi suggested earlier.

These two girls, who clearly don't like each other would stay in one room?

"That's good! Everyone has ears in every mansion nowadays. It would be bad for Young Miss Zhi if rumors got out. Young Miss Wuyue's suggestion is thoughtful. Your father must be proud." Grandpa Zhou agreed at Xiong Wuyue's suggestion. The two oldies nodded too.

Xiong Wuyue just accepted their praise with an awkward smile. She glanced at Xiong Zhi who was observing her.

The two girls exchanged glances. They were the only ones who knew what was going on in each other's mind.

*******************************************************************

The clock was ticking. The loud pour of the rain and roaring winds could still be heard despite the soundproof window. From time to time, thunder would flash. Lighting up the room which had a big bed and two girls lying on it.

Xiong Zhi was staring blankly at the ceiling. She was tired due to all the practice she had for the day. She was feeling sleepy too. But her will to stay awake and to feel her companion's movement was in the level of an expert.

She was not alone in this. Xiong Wuyue was the same too. Her eyes were closed but her ears were perked up. Once there was movement, she would instantly open her eyes.

Hence, the two of them had not been moving in this huge bed.

Surprisingly, the girls who hated each other to the core could actually had a peaceful moment. Even it was just a moment.

Boom!

Flash.

"Kyaah!"

A loud boom made Xiong Wuyue who was faking sleep screamed out loud.

Xiong Zhi gasped because of Xiong Wuyue's scream.

She got shocked too.

She turned to Wuyue and the annoyance she had been bottling up erupted.

"You're so loud!"

Xiong Wuyue turned to her with a red face. Her irritation that everything in her plan got thrashed by this bitch exploded.

"It's freaking loud. Who would not be shocked of that?!"

"Don't shout at me. You don't have rights." Xiong Zhi said sternly.

Xiong Wuyue sat up. She had NO rights? This bitch was just basking in the rights that supposed to be hers.

"No rights? What have you contribute to have that rights?"
