Chapter 265 - Being Feminine

"Hey, Senior Linfeng will surely come. After you left the message, he left a message too," Song Xuantin whispered to Xiong Zhi. They were on their way to the car.

Xiong Zhi immediately looked at her. There was hope in her eyes.

Song Xuantin took out her phone and her earbuds. After typing on her phone for a moment, she gave the earpieces to Xiong Zhi and played Linfeng's last message.

Linfeng's voice sounded in Xiong Zhi's ears.

[Zhi'er, I received your message. I am in a backcountry in the south. The time is a bit tight, but I'm glad I met some people who can help me. You don't really have to worry about the re-trial. Just let me handle it, you only need to relax. You will receive an answer soon. I know you heard it from me many times already. I hope you're not tired of hearing this.] 

He chuckled, and then there was a short pause.

[I miss you. I really do...] Linfeng's voice turned gentler as he said the next words.

[I might be late on the day of the trip, but I will surely come. I promise, I'll meet you there. And... Once I see you there, can I recharge your necklace once more? It's been a month, and it must have lost its charm.] 

Xiong Zhi smiled while she listened at his words. She imagined him saying this words with gentle but playful eyes, with a faint smile on his lips, yet with his ears reddening.

[I will see you soon... Always take care, my dearest Young Miss.] These last words he said in a magnetic whispering voice brought an itchy feeling to her chest, as if a little kitten was scratching its tiny paws at her heart. 

His deep voice was so pleasing to the ears that Xiong Zhi had to play this voice message many times over.

An impish voice rang out, interrupting her thoughts.

"Okay, sorry to cut you out but your driver is looking at us like he has seen a ghost," Song Xuantin said as she looked pointedly at Driver Ji. 

Mr. Ji looked away. There was no doubt that the 'music' piece the Young Miss was listening to came from the young butler who was banned from entering the mansion a month ago.

Who else could make the indifferent Young Miss smile like a fool? It was impossible even for a really good music to draw out such expression from the Young Miss.

Xiong Zhi glanced at Mr. Ji indifferently. 

She entered the car. She said to Song Xuantin.

"We don't have to worry about Mr. Ji. Isn't that right, Mr. Ji?" 

If Mr. Ji had intentions of exposing her and Linfeng, he should have exposed them already since a month ago when Master Xiong first announced the matter of banning Linfeng until the time of the re-trial. 

Mr. Ji coughed and said embarrassedly.

"I don't have any idea what you are talking about, Young Miss." 

Xiong Zhi nodded at him. "Right. You don't know anything."

Song Xuantin just looked at them confusedly.

"Please drive us to the Tang family's mansion."

"The Tang family's mansion?" Mr. Ji was surprised. As an elite driver of the legendary Xiong family, he knew the location of the other three legendary family's mansions. 

He was pleasantly surprised that aside from the Lu Mansion, he would also be able to drive into the Tang Mansion. He could enter and drive into the territory of the mighty Tang's!

Important things must be said twice!

Mr. Ji was clearly excited. As a driver, it was a notable achievement.

"Yes," Xiong Zhi nodded at him.

"Did you brief Tang Xinyang already?" Song Xuantin asked. She also felt excited at the thought that she would be able to enter the Tang Mansion.

"Not yet. That's why we came early." There was still time before the trip. They still have plenty of time to discuss their 'Operation Two'.

After a long while, the car entered the Tang Mansion premises.

Tang Xinyang already stood there waiting in a white tracksuit. Her hair was in a messy bun, her brows heroic. Nevertheless, her beautiful face and refreshing smile could captivate any man, rousing the male instinct to conquer.

"You're finally here! Come, I prepared some cakes for you two!" Tang Xinyang said warmly as she welcomed them. She was excited to meet her new friends. 

As soon as her new friends came out of the car, she merrily patted them 'lightly' on the shoulders. 

Xiong Zhi backed away a couple of steps because of the force. 

"Ouch!" Song Xuantin cried out in shock.

Tang Xinyang halted and instantly raised her hands in surprise. Her peach blossom eyes were wide and apologetic.

"Oops. Sorry. It's the first time I invited girl friends here in my house. I am just, well, too excited." Tang Xinyang bit her lips, afraid that the first girl friends she had might feel offended and leave because she had accidentally hurt them.

She had no idea they were so delicate!

Xiong Zhi lightly shrugged it off. "It did hurt a bit. But it's alright. You just got to take more care later." 

"Haha, it's alright, don't mind it. But yeah, just maybe lighter next time, haha," Song Xuantin laughed it off merrily. Still, she slightly inched away from the heroic practitioner who seemed to have traveled the rivers and lakes of Jiangnan. 

She took a mental note that she had be far away from Tang Xinyang if ever they watched some exciting movies together. That fist really contained immense strength! QAQ

Tang Xinyang's face lit up happily. Thankfully, her new friends were magnanimous and forgiving. She imprinted in her mind that her friends were delicate and fragile ladies that must be absolutely cared for, whose dainty fingers could not even touch spring water, and must be sheltered from the winds and rain.

A mere touch might even break them!

"Thank you, guys! I like you two already." 

Xiong Zhi quietly gave a polite nod. Time would tell if she could like this heroic Tang Xinyang enough to treat her as a close friend. As of now, she only felt pity for her unrequited love, and thought that her personality did not seem too bad.

Maybe just a bit rough.

"That depends on how you 'like' us," Song Xuantin murmured. Who knew if that 'like' was the kind of like wherein they would be beaten up all the time?

The Tang Mansion was as noble and glorious as the Lu Mansion and Xiong Mansion. The mansion had a long history in the ancient capital. However, with the presence of three beautiful teenage girls in the living room, the always serene mansion appeared livelier.

"Xiong Zhi sent me the 'Operation Two' through email. I have read it already. I'm just afraid that I will screw this up," Tang Xinyang expressed here worries as they ate the cake she had baked yesterday night. It was perfectly cool and nice to eat after chilling overnight.

"You see, I'm not feminine like you guys—" 

"Cough, cough, cough!" Song Xuantin almost choked on the cake. She quickly drank some juice, and after putting down the glass, she looked unbelievably at Tang Xinyang. She pointed her fork at Xiong Zhi, forgetting her manners like usual.

"Which part of her do you see as feminine?"
