Chapter 599 - I Miss You

Now that William left the country, Jang Shin could finally return to his work. He no longer had to escape during working hours just to meddle in the pair's date.

By next morning, Jang Shin showed up in SC's headquarters. He was in a dampened mood after William's declaration yesterday. He kept thinking about it and was restless all night so his complexion was not good.

Linfeng was already working in the president's office. He also looked a bit disheveled, but he was already used to such a hectic workload abroad. 

Hearing the familiar footsteps, he spoke to Jang Shin without raising his head from the files. "Since you are here, you will accompany Shinichi today. I've already told Shinichi about you."

Jang Shin saw three empty cups of coffee on the table. "You stayed here all night? Did you even sleep?" He called the secretary in to clean up the cups.

"I have to. The company's ZD Comprehensive Project is in the busiest time, and there's also movements from greedy parties. Our project with Shinichi is also progressing rapidly. There's a lot to do."

In a company undergoing massive growth and expansion, it was no surprise to have two or more co-CEOs managing the company on the right track. SC was in a similar period of massive growth and expansion, thus, the cooperation of the two co-CEOs were necessary for smooth management.

Jang Shin felt guilty of escaping from work in these four days. The burden on Linfeng must have increased exponentially. Usually, the man would be able to finish his side of work then head over to Xiong Zhi's side.

"Alright, I'll do that before Shinichi comes. You head back first and go to sleep."

Linfeng leaned back on his chair and massaged his forehead. "I was hoping you will say that." He glanced at Jang Shin. "How did spying on Xinyang's date go?"

Jang Shin was in low spirits. "I realized that I was really foolish."

Linfeng: "?"

Jang Shin pulled away Linfeng from his seat. "I'll tell you over drinks once our schedule is free. Right now, you should rest first."

Jang Shin used this excuse to stop Linfeng from his interrogation. In truth, he did not know how to speak about his feelings well. These complicated and disruptive emotions were eating away his heart and reasons. It was better to keep it to himself for now.

He had a lot to think about, especially after William's unwavering declaration.

Linfeng was stunned as he was kicked out of his own office. 

He heard from Xiong Zhi that Jang Shin had talked to William before the latter left. Jang Shin's low spirits might be related to that conversation.

Anyway...

Linfeng stretched his arms. 

He glanced at the glass door and checked his reflection. He fixed his cuffs and suit and combed his hair with his fingers.

He had been working to death in the past four days. Since he had now gotten a bit of free time, he could finally meet the person he wanted to see the most.

Linfeng drove to IHZHI.

***

Xiong Zhi was the official heir of the Xiong family. However, she had not officially taken charge of the Xiong Empire yet. She became part of the board and a department head as well, but she was not very active in the Xiong Empire. She mostly did her work now in IHZHI.

Old Xiong allowed it since he still had the strength to oversee the family business. He also wanted to hone his heiress skills first before handing over the huge pie.

Xiong Zhi was working on the doc.u.ments early in the morning. She was particularly bothered about the file that the IAmFashionista sent to her.

She already asked for an explanation yesterday evening. Xiong Zhi expected their answer within today.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

She thought that it was either Fang Dien or Xiao Mei.

"Enter," she said curtly without looking up.

Strangely, the person who came in did not speak nor greet her. 

Xiong Zhi frowned when she suddenly noticed a shadow looming over her desk. She raised her head coldly. 

"What are you--"

However, her words halted as a light kiss landed on her lips.

Xiong Zhi's eyes widened blankly in surprise before a gentle smile appeared in them.

Linfeng was about to distance himself when the woman suddenly grabbed the back of his neck and deepened the kiss.

Linfeng smiled as he dove inside the soft and warm little mouth, entangling with the soft little tongue.

Her girlfriend was really getting naughty day by day.

He responded with longing and hot kisses. He really missed her scent and her taste.

The sluggish Xiong Zhi wanted to extend the kiss but she was worried that Linfeng's back would feel uncomfortable by bending over the desk. 

She finally let go of his neck.

The two pairs of swollen red lips distanced themselves, occasionally stealing pecks, but their foreheads stayed against each other.

Linfeng's warm breath hit Xiong Zhi's lips. "I missed you so much."

"Me too," Xiong Zhi mumbled.

"Say it again."

"I miss you too, Linfeng."

Linfeng kissed her lips again. He held the back of her neck and rubbed her earlobe with his thumb as he devoured with fervor.

He kissed her long and hard that Xiong Zhi m.o.a.ned.

Linfeng suddenly stopped kissing her. 

Going further would be dangerous.

The towering man put a hand on the desk, flipped over it swiftly, and hugged her up while leaning back on the desk.

Xiong Zhi put her arms around his slim but strong waist and buried her face in his chest, inhaling his scent. 

The couple stayed like that for a moment.

Xiong Zhi broke the silence.

"It's so early in the morning. How come you are here?" 

"Jang Shin kicked me out of the office. He wants me to make up for the past four days."

Xiong Zhi frowned faintly. For Jang Shin to kick Linfeng out, this man probably did not sleep again.
