Chapter 349 - Zhi'er, it's me

Xiong Zhi walked to the longue. But just as she turned around a corner, a hand suddenly grabbed her arm. It was a gentle tug without any force, but Xiong Zhi did not think so and reacted fast.

Alarmed, she instantly raised her elbow to jab the person holding her arm, but the person was quick. Furthermore, he was taller with a larger built than her so he easily blocked her elbow, pulled her towards him, and then wrapped his arms around her. These actions were done in an instant. 

Afterwards, he put his head between her neck and shoulders and inhaled.

'Which bastard dares?!'

Xiong Zhi got goosebumps. Outraged, she was about to raise her knee for the ultimate move, but before she could move, the man behind her spoke.

"I missed you so much, Zhi'er..." 

!!!!

She froze.

That deep, cool voice which became more masculine as years passed, which she heard every day from her phone and tablets... It sounded smoother and cooler in real life. She could recognize that voice anywhere. She calmed down from her anger as if cold water was splashed on her and finally smelled the familiar scent.

Xiong Zhi's eyes widened. Her heart thumped fast. The warmth enveloping her from behind proved that he was really here.

"...Linfeng?" 

Her voice croaked a little as disbelief and surprise surged in a sudden. There was also joy and yearning. She wanted to turn to him and look at his face to confirm. There was a sense of unreal and surreal feeling in her 

But the man kept her locked within his embrace, his head still buried on her neck. 

Ah...

He greedily took in a deep breath. How he missed her scent. He wanted to hold her tighter but he held himself back. His Zhi'er has a soft and fragile body. He did not want to squish her too hard.

Yet like a beast hungry for a long time, every cell of his body longed for her. 

He held her firmly against his hard chest and satisfied himself with just this.

"Zhi'er, it's me…"

This voice, this familiar feeling, this familiar scent…

It really was Linfeng!

The realization fully hit Xiong Zhi, and the long-acc.u.mulated anticipation filled her. Her eyes felt hot as she felt her tears well up. The previous cool and capable domineering lady CEO was nowhere.

"Linfeng..."

"Um. Zhi'er."

"Linfeng."

"Hmm…"

"Linfeng…"

Xiong Zhi has been waiting for this reunion for what seemed like forever. She imagined various scenarios, like running into his arms, getting swirled around, or greeting him with a bouquet of flowers, or waiting for him in the airport while wearing a mascot costume then surprise him afterwards... This reunion was out of her expectations. But nothing mattered anymore.

Their palpable joy and longing for each other filled their hearts to the brim.

Xiong Zhi did not know where to place her arms. She wanted to turn around, hold his face, and hug him back, but the current position only allowed Linfeng to hug her. She tried to struggle a few times but Linfeng was like an immovable mountain embracing her firmly from behind.

Finally, a face filled with grievances spoke, "I also want to see you and hug you..."

"..." 

Her coquettish voice tickled his ears, so near and so clear, unhindered by devices. It sent down an electrifying sensation down his back and to his limbs. Linfeng has been holding onto his self-control and suppressing down his surging feelings, but this single whisper seemed to unravel it all. It was like his heart exploded.

He turned her around gently without distancing himself a bit and finally saw the figure of his every dream.

His Young Miss.

His Zhi'er.

The earlier jealousy he felt slowly dissipated.

Yes. She was his. Those flies should just screw off.

Linfeng stared at the young woman's red eyes which also greedily looked back at himself. His eyes traced every inch of his beloved's face, and his fingers also followed, gently caressing the trails. 

First, her beautiful willow eyebrows which would subtly move whenever she was annoyed. He bent down and lightly kissed them. Then her expressive phoenix eyes that always pulled him in, whose edges were longer now. He dearly missed this pair of eyes and always stared at her pictures that he secretly took during video calls. He longed to see them in real life, and it was now in front of him.

As he thought, they were definitely much brighter and more enigmatic in person. He pressed butterfly kisses on top of her eyes, and Xiong Zhi inadvertently lowered her lashes while he did so.

Then his lips moved to her nose that has grown a bit taller and more delicate over these years, and down to her rosy cheeks, so soft that he really wanted to bite and kiss them all the time.

It was very different from the feeling of seeing her from the screen to now seeing her and touching her in arm's length.

Xiong Zhi initially wanted to take in her man's handsome face, but she could not stare at Linfeng because he kept moving and showering her with kisses.

She then allowed herself to simply enjoy these warm kisses that tickled at her heart. She could clearly feel his longing. She reciprocated his heart's yearning by raising both of her arms and wrapping them around his slim waist. Through his clothes, she could measure how hard his toned muscles were. Linfeng was really tall, much taller than before and buffer with lean muscles. He grew well in the past two years.

Her head barely reached his throat. She was a tall woman, yet she appeared a bit petite inside his embrace.

Linfeng finally kissed every inch of her face, except for the one which he saved for the last. The softest and most delicious jelly that could snap his control completely.

Every night, he could only dream of kissing her. Now, she was in his arms and at his mercy.

Like a dying and parched man who had found an oasis in the middle of the desert, his kissed her lips deeply, sweeping in directly into her mouth. They only kissed twice before he left. He deeply regretted that he should have kissed her more before he went away. 

So now that he was back, he would fulfill that regret and kiss her whenever he wanted.
