Chapter 595 - I Fell in Love with a Wrong Person

William was on the backseat of the car on the way to the airport. 

After he met Xiong Zhi, he visited Linfeng shortly and said his goodbye, then dropped by IHZHI and teased Xiao Mei and Song Xuantin. Good thing King Yan was not there. He only played with the ladies.

William took out his phone.

His grandfather had called him many times today while urging him to return.

He felt irritable for no reason.

William opened his camera. He posed then took pictures of himself. 

Click.

Click.

Click.

After taking selfies of his handsome face, William felt better.

He then uploaded them in the group chat with his little brothers, the other five kings.

This group chat existed since way back when they were not kings yet and just friends with no business power in their hands. There were only three of them in the group chat at that time. 

Now, this group chat had grown to six members.

Thehandsomestman [William]: Have a good look at my handsome self. I am being generous today. Here, you can lick as much as you want~ [Picture] [Picture] [Picture]

A little later, Caleb replied.

2ndtotheCutest [Caleb]: Gross! Why do I have to see this horror at such a late night???

2ndtotheCutest [Caleb]: ? ??? !!!

2ndtotheCutest [Caleb]: Why have our names changed again?! The former names are way better! You changed it again, didn't you, William? 

2ndtotheCutest [Caleb]: And why am I the second?! Who is the cutest?! I will surely not fall behind!

Seconds later, the other kings saw the spammed messages.

Eugine replied.

Tallestman [Eugine]: I thought this chat is dead a long time ago. You haven't been posting, Will. Are you coming back?

Johan joined in the conversation.

Healthyman [Johan]: I think the cutest should be our youngest since Caleb is the second youngest. Am I right?

Healthyman [Johan]: And what do you mean by healthy?! 

Thehandsomestman [William]: I am wishing you a healthy life @Healthyman. I am returning today and might arrive there by noon.

Erich saw the chat. He joined the conversation.

SeriousFace [Erich]: William, are you sad? Reluctant to leave Country C?

Tallestman [Eugine]: !

Healthyman [Johan]: (☉｡☉)!

2ndtotheCutest [Caleb]: Oh! I forgot that! It's been so long since William did this!

Thehandsomestman [William]: ?

Thehandsomestman [William]: What are you guys talking about??

Healthyman [Johan]: I think you should scroll all the way back and take another look at the times when you sent your selfies here. [*sneer*]

Healthyman [Johan]: The first time you sent a selfie was when your grandpa got angry at you for entering the acting career instead of business.

Tallestman [Eugine]: The second time was when your aunt's puppy died. You said that you two were best friends. 

Thehandsomestman [William]: !!! 

2ndtotheCutest [Caleb]: The third time was when your grandpa had forbidden you to date for one whole month.

The other kings made a long list.

2ndtotheCutest [Caleb]: He is definitely sad. [*Call Me Sherlock Holmes.jpg*]

Tallestman [Eugine]: I can't believe I am seeing this again. It's been so long.

Healthyman [Johan]: To be honest, he is the oldest yet he is the most childish. 

The kings talked among themselves while trash-talking William, the eldest.

William: !!! 

Did he really do that?

He momentarily fell into doubt.

...Come to think of it, he indeed sent selfies on those times.

SeriousFace [Erich]: So why are you sad? Do you want to extend your vacation?

William snorted and typed.

Thehandsomestman [William]: Yes, really sad [*cry*] I will miss our Cutest~

The other kings: ....

2ndtotheCutest: [Caleb]: [*I despise you.gif*]

SeriousFace [Erich]: Is that so? 

SeriousFace [Erich]: Since you don't want to tell us the truth then don't bother us. It's morning in your end but it's already about time for us to sleep here. [*goodbye*]

William: ...

Eugine, why are you becoming so much like Linfeng!

This is the reason why I named you 'serious face'! 

William did not really want his friends to leave him hanging alone in the chat room. He felt really sad in the past few days, especially today.

Thehandsomestman [William]: ....

Thehandsomestman [William]: That's right, I am sad.

2ndtotheCutest [Caleb]: Why?

William started to type 'Because I miss you all...' but then deleted it.

'Because I am going to leave our cutest...'

He deleted it again.

William hesitated for a moment. 

Maybe he should just throw a bomb and see what their reactions would be?

Thehandsomestman [William]: I think...

Thehandsomestman [William]: I might have fallen in love for the wrong person.

The chat died.

***

"Young Master, we are here."

William raised his head from the phone.

What the heck were these friends?!

They actually left the chat after he became sincere for once!

Now thinking about it, it was kind of childish, admitting it to them. Even though he was always honest with his little brothers, it was still embarrassing. 

What was he? A boy in his puberty who did not know what to do with this suffocating feeling?

He knew very well what to do in an unrequited love!

William quickly erased his last message as he walked inside. He was afraid that Linfeng might saw it. Even though the youngest would likely not open the chat nor ask him about it, William still did not want him to see it.

Inside the airport, people in suits were waiting for William. 

The head manager of the airlines greeted William and accompanied him to the VVIP waiting area. The flight would be in thirty minutes.

As soon as William's butt hit the seat.

A staff approached him and the head manager.

"Excuse me, Head Manager, there are visitors outside asking for Mr. William."

The head manager was stunned. Who could it be that made his people interrupt them to announce their presence?

He immediately composed himself. They must likely be the kind of people whom they could not afford to offend.

"Who are they?"

"The Young Miss of the Xiong family."

"Oh." The head manager looked at William. "Sir William..."

Should they let the young miss enter? 

The head manager did not want to offend the legendary Xiong family. Even if the airlines executive had some partnersh.i.p.s with the Grand family, the head manager himself was still living in Country C.

"Let her enter," William said with a smile.

The cute kitten was sending him off even though he told her that there was no need?

This made William's sad heart feel a bit better.

He waited for Xiong Zhi with a smile in his twinkling blue eyes.

When the door opened, he first saw Xiong Zhi.

William stood up grinning and was about to hug the little kitten when he froze.

"Senior!" A smiling woman popped out from behind Xiong Zhi.

The woman who kept bothering his mind and heart these days ran towards him, raised a fist, and punched his arm lightly in greeting. She then hooked her thin arms around his neck and ruffled his hair, like how a senior treated their juniors usually.

"Senior, you're so bad! You are leaving without a goodbye! We haven't had a rematch yet, how can you leave me like that?"

William: "..." 

What--

Why was she here?!

As if to add salt to the injury, Jang Shin also appeared from behind her, came forward, and took off Tang Xinyang's arm. 

He then gracefully bowed to William.

"Have a safe trip."

=_=

William had a face that doubted life.

What the heck? Why were these two people whom he did not want to see the most here?!

"Surprised? You looked sad when you said you are leaving, so we will accompany you before you go," Xiong Zhi said with a faint smile.

William facepalmed.

This... this was really torture.
