"Seriously? I snatched her away from you two because I thought you guys plan to grab the chance of introducing her first to the group."
He had thought, since he was the first person to meet both this little kitten and the youngest, it should be his right.
Caleb was stunned. "Why would we do that? We don't even know the lady."
"You really don't recognize her?" William asked in confirmation.
Eugene was suspicious now, but he shook his head after glancing at Xiong Zhi's back.
"Come on, William, why would we even lie about it? If we know her before, we surely won't forget about her. This is the beauty that can even make the two outstanding men from the legendary families be at odds with each other."
Xiong Zhi could not help it anymore, she turned her head to look at the idiots behind her.
"I can hear you all, alright?"
And what this talk about two men fighting for her? She only has one man, ah.
William went to the woman, grabbed her shoulders, and gently turned Xiong Zhi around to face the two people whom he suspected were husband and wife in their previous life because of their uncanny harmony.
"Look clearly at her face? Doesn't she look familiar?"
Xiong Zhi: "..."
Sigh, she would just keep counting this old uncle's sin.
Caleb and Eugene shook their head.
William: "…Seriously you two are a total failure."
Eugene and Caleb who were confused at the sudden attack: "???"
They really did not know her, ah.
Although they were titled Kings, they were the two people among the five who had the least influence in China. They had never really stayed in the country for more than three days and doesn't know the famous beauty in the country.
What was so surprising about not knowing an oriental beauty? They were not William who had to know every beautiful peerless woman in every continent.
Xiong Zhi almost rolled her eyes, but held back because it was disgraceful in front of outsiders.
"Gentlemen, to appease Uncle William, I'd like to formally introduce myself. I am Xiong Zhi, your new brother's girlfriend."
Caleb and Eugene: "...."
Silence.
After a few seconds.
Caleb: "...What?"
Eugine: "…Eh?"
Girlfriend???
Their youngest?
Wait, hold on.
Xiong Zhi, this name… Xiong Zhi?
From the Xiong family, Linfeng's master?
Linfeng's master, the 'Zhi'er'?
The youngest's...girlfriend!
The famous and controversial 'Zhi'er!
The two mind's went in a circle for a while before they finally got Xiong Zhi's identity.
Xiong Zhi sighed and looked at William.
Her eyes were saying, 'There, I went and introduced myself. Go and fill the rest of information.'
Her impression of these new brothers of Linfeng was going down.
Although surprised for a while, William immediately became happy and smiled.
Actually, it was good too. Shocking his brothers also felt nice.
He initially thought that they knew Xiong Zhi and wanted to introduce her to the rest of the group, and have fun out of the perpetually stiff youngest.
But it turned out, they did not even recognize her!
'This would be even more fun.'
William hugged the pair of men's necks and filled them in.
"You remember the girl who's always in Linfeng's excuses?"
Caleb and Eugene's eyes lingered at Xiong Zhi for a while.
They thought back.
Linfeng had stayed overseas for almost three years for ZD Comprehensive Project.
That time, all five kings stayed with him mostly to assist Linfeng.
Among the five them, it was Linfeng who worked the hardest to the point of having no sleep most of the time. Thus, they would visit Linfeng from time to time to make him come out of his office and enjoy the air outside for a while.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #'zhi'er'-(ii)_52137163231390921 for visiting.
….
There was one time when Caleb suddenly appeared in Linfeng's office with a bottle of vintage wine in his hand.
"Youngest, take a break and accompany me for wine!"
"I don't drink during the day unless it's in a formal dinner or party," Linfeng said without looking up.
His eyes remained buried on the piles of doc.u.ments.
"…Didn't I mention there's a party?" Since he said there was one, there would be one.
Caleb thought of hosting an urgent party in his penthouse.
"I'll pass this time. I don't want to waste time attending pointless gatherings when there's many things I need to do."
"It's not meaningless, it's my… commemoration party!"
"You just made that one up."
"…"
Caleb made a depressed face.
Linfeng finally smiled and looked up at Caleb with a helpless smile.
"I'm sorry, Caleb, but I am really busy. Maybe next time?"
Caleb: …You're going to fall over if you don't take a break, stupid.
He sighed.
"Even just for a bit, like for ten minutes?"
"I am sorry."
Caleb's grey eyes lost their shine.
He muttered, "Alright. I know how busy you are, but you should really take a break, it's already a miracle you're not yet sick at this point—"
Ring.
A phone call suddenly interrupted him.
Caleb initially thought it was work.
"Oh, I won't disturb you any further."
Caleb turned around and was about to exit the door when he heard a creepy and eerily super gentle voice behind his back.
"Zhi'er, did you just wake up? How is your sleep?"
'….'
Caleb stiffly turned his head to look at Linfeng.
The tall man had a creepy smile on his lips. Those usually dark and serious eyes were full of light and joy at the moment.
Caleb was shocked-still at the sight of their youngest, who was always pretending to be serious and mature, acting so sugary sweet like this. His hands unconsciously dropped the wine bottle on the floor, his eyes dilated, as if seeing a horror scene.
Crash.
The bottle broke and the precious Domaine de la Romanée-Conti wine's rich aroma filled the room.
Linfeng turned to Caleb. His eyes were back to quiet seriousness. Caleb even felt that there was a hint of murderousness in that gaze.
Caleb: "I...I'm sorry, I won't disturb you any longer. See you later."
While he was closing the door as slowly as he could, he heard the man who was left inside the room speak again.
"Ah, it's just something I knocked down accidentally. Nothing to worry about... Oh no, you didn't disturb me. I am currently taking my break."
Caleb: ….F**k. ╬
This man! What a liar!
