To Love You Again

Chapter 489 - Xiong Wuyue of the Past and the Present

Chapter 489 - Xiong Wuyue of the Past and the Present

It was just like how a princess fell and was saved by a handsome prince. It was the first time she felt a heartbeat for a boy.

"Linfeng..." Xiong Wuyue was sprawled on the ground.

She did not have any strength left. Her blurry eyes could no longer see the luxurious couch a few steps away from her. She felt the coldness on her limbs grow and spread inwards.

Linfeng.

Her young mind was truly captivated by the princely young boy who acted so maturedly.

Any young girl could easily fall for that.

The little girl had never forgotten that experience, until finally, she saw him again in one of the grand banquets in the Xiong Mansion.

So his name was Zhou Linfeng.

Linfeng, it was a nice name.

Xiong Wuyue watched the young Linfeng every year in the Xiong banquets.

For the first time, she felt hesitant to approach others.

She had always waited for the boy to notice her and approach her.

Was he shy?

Xiong Wuyue imagined that the boy must be looking at her secretly as well.

She imagined that they were both like Romeo and Juliet.

Humph, still not giving up. Let's see then who can play the game longer, she secretly thought with a smile.

Her pride kept her from rushing to him, and her father's caution. Just as her obsession to become the most ill.u.s.trious grew with time, her fascination for him also grew.

The boy named Linfeng turned from a cute little boy to a handsome teenager, and then to an attractive and charismatic man.

As she waited every year to see him, her heart that was initially only filled with admiration became full of desires, obsession, and envy towards the people he was serving.

Her hatred towards the main family, as well as her covetous obsession for the status of the young miss of the Xiong family, heated further when she came to know that Linfeng would only serve the young miss of the main family.

She was very upset! She could not swallow that!

That bitch stole everything away from her.

Her promise to her mother was not fulfilled yet.

That was why she and her father made a plan.

They made a deal with Guan Gao Huan.

And...

They succeeded.

******

Her father killed Old Xiong with the poison given by Guan Gao Huan.

Xiong Wuyue managed to trick Xiong Zhi.

They kidnapped her and sent her to Guan Gao Huan's hands.

That time, Xiong Wuyue was living the best time of her life.

She finally got to live in the main Xiong Mansion! She was finally the Young Miss! The only Young Miss Xiong! And Linfeng....

The vibrant Xiong Wuyue looked at the man beside her.

Linfeng... was finally hers.

She leaned against Linfeng happily, lovingly looking at his handsome face.

The man beside her glanced at her. His eyes did not show anything on his mind.

Today, she and Linfeng would be attending a banquet.

It was a celebration banquet for her father for becoming the biggest shareholder of the Xiong Empire and becoming the head of the Xiong family.

Xiong Wuyue proudly hugged Linfeng's arms as they went out of the car. But then Linfeng suddenly halted.

His head turned sharply to look behind.

"What's wrong?" Xiong Wuyue asked him.

She turned to see what he was looking at.

But there was nothing, except for a car parked not far away from them.

Xiong Wuyue dismissed it and turned around to continue forward, however, the tall man beside her was unmoving.

His eyes were still fixedly staring at the car.

There was a faint humming sound of engine starting, and the car left.

"Linfeng?" Xiong Wuyue could feel the man's tensed body beside her.

"Are you alright?" She asked worriedly and looked at his face, then she was stunned.

Linfeng's dark peach blossom eyes were full of murderous intent. Veins popped out on his temples.

Xiong Wuyue had never seen this kind of terrible expression on Linfeng.

"Linfeng?" She asked tentatively again.

Her heart was thumping loudly.

For a moment, she felt scared to see that expression of his.

One second, two seconds…

Linfeng finally turned to her. His beautiful eyes were back to their gentle shine. His smile was lovely.

"Pardon me. I was just thinking of something. Let's go."

He patted her hand like a gentleman and led her forward.

Xiong Wuyue looked at him for a while.

She then decided that what she had seen was only a pigment of her imagination.

[A/N: This scene was where Xiong Zhi escaped and Guan Gao Huan had caught her. He then brought Xiong Zhi to this place to let her see Linfeng and Xiong Wuyue arm in arm. Refer chap 58]

However, no matter how many times she fooled herself, the truth would always prevail in the end.

….

Xiong Wuyue was looking forward to this day.

She would finally have a date with Linfeng!

Linfeng had served her for a year already, but they never had the time of their own. The man was so taciturn. He was also hardworking. He had his own company to take care of, but he also did not quit his job as her aide, thus, he was always very busy and had no time.

Xiong Wuyue could not find a chance to have a quality time together with Linfeng.

How else would she be able to seduce him into having another kind of relationship with her?

Still, Xiong Wuyue was happy that Linfeng kept his job as her aide.

She believed that Linfeng voluntarily became her aide because he had feelings for her.

Any other reason besides that, Xiong Wuyue threw them out of her mind.

She happily prepared for a candlelit dinner and studied laboriously how to cook. She made many errors and repeated again, until she was finally able to cook decent ones. She hummed a song while waiting for him.

Then the door slammed opened.

"Linfeng—" Xiong Wuyue was not able to complete her joyous greeting because Linfeng's dark face entered her sight.

His expression was more terrifying than the one she had seen before.

Linfeng did not utter a single word, walked over to her, and immediately wrapped one large hand around her neck.
