Chapter 512 - The Steam on the Screen

The five men were silent.

Goosebumps rose on their skin.

The screen turned black.

William turned off the camera. He still had that strange look on his face.

"Well, that's Zhi'er. You finally met the youngest's baby."

…However, a day after that, due to Caleb's obvious remark about how cute and adorable Linfeng's girlfriend was that Linfeng chose her over them, coupled with Erich's look of 'I can't believe you are like that' every time they met as if seeing a monster, Linfeng finally went to Eugene and asked the matter directly.

Linfeng: "What's the matter with you guys, why are the four of you acting strange so suddenly?"

"…What? We didn't do anything wrong."

The other's eyes were swimming all over the place.

Linfeng's eyes narrowed.

"You did something bad and hid it from me…"

"No, we really never looked into your private life just to satisfy our curiosity!"

Eugene said while was sweating hard.

Linfeng: "..."

Private life? Curiosity?

He stood up and looked at Eugene darkly.

His aura was terrifying.

"If you don't tell me the truth, I will break off my friendship with you. After all, friends don't lie to each other. Keeping me in the dark while lying to me, are those things really what friends should do to each other?"

Eugene: "!!!!"

Cries...

Of course, Linfeng did not really mean that, but he had already figured out something from his friends' peculiar attitudes, coupled with that bug on his phone he found earlier.

The guilty Eugene immediately spilled the beans after getting hit by his conscience.

He was a cunning businessmen who can make waves without changing his face, but when it came to friends and close relatives, he was a total softie.

That afternoon, only one day after spying on Linfeng, they all got an extra-cold and icy Linfeng whose glare could freeze people, and William got it the worst.

....

"And that's how we found out that Linfeng has a demure, adorable… and cute... girlfriend..."

Eugene trailed off while glancing at Xiong Zhi.

Pure, demure, innocent, adorable, with a soft smile, and gentle eyes…

It was more like the opposite of all these things!

Were they even still the same person?!

They were beginning to doubt that their youngest's girlfriend was a total bipolar.

No… maybe the youngest was also one…

Meeting in real life was really different from impression. That was why they did not recognize Xiong Zhi at first glance.

Xiong Zhi had a cold, commanding, and indifferent aura in person.

She looked like a person who would swing one hand and make the seas part aside. Her confident and charismatic air was nothing like the soft, demure, gentle, innocent… whatever adjectives they had initially thought.

It was because Xiong Zhi showed her soft and cute side only to Linfeng. And when she puts on make up, her features were highlighted to become more charismatic and impressive, in order to cater to her current identity.

At most times, she appeared noble, classy, and mature, very different from the fluffy soft girl they saw on the screen.

They still could not fully comprehend how that soft and adorable Zhi'er was actually a domineering ice queen, the heiress of the Xiong family!

Xiong Zhi was silent throughout Eugene's confession.

However, secretly, she was relieved.

It was not one of those embarrassing videos, thank goodness.

Xiong Zhi then took two steps towards the slowly backing up Uncle William.

She raised a slender arm, grabbed his tie with an indifferent face, and dragged him forward towards the two men.

"I believe the three of you—no, the five of you, owe me an apology."

Caleb, Eugene, and the strangled William: "...."

How come this was the exact same words Linfeng had said when they met him after Eugine spilled the beans? This couple truly belong to each other. They were both terrifying in a sense.

The three men apologized with mixed emotions.

William wore an awkward smile as he looked for Erich and Johan to introduce Xiong Zhi, and to tell them to ask for Xiong Zhi's forgiveness.

Like Caleb and Eugene, Johan was dumbfounded. It was only Erich, the half-Chinese, who expected this because he had come to realize who 'Zhi'er' was after that incident.

That night, William's title was updated from Uncle to 'Old Uncle'.

Of course, he got bossed around by Xiong Zhi in the remaining time of the dinner party.

**

The embarrassing videos which Xiong Zhi feared to get discovered.

Xiong Zhi woke up from a long wet dream.

Lately, she had been having wet dreams with R-18 content.

Of course, her partner was Linfeng.

But Linfeng's attitude each night was different.

There was one night with a gentle and loving Linfeng.

There was a perverted and naughty Linfeng.

There was a sadistic and masochistic Linfeng.

Ah, the masochistic Linfeng was her favorite, second to the gentle Linfeng.

In her dreams, she loved just how Linfeng begged to hit him and ride him more.

Xiong Zhi hid under the covers and internally screamed.

It was already morning, but she was still thinking of these things like a pervert!

It was definitely Song Xuantin's fault for making Xiong Zhi borrow those R-18 romance movies in the former's repertoire, saying that they were very stimulating and highly educating, that she would need it as advanced study materials for her first night with Linfeng.

Because of those movies which she found extremely disgusting due to bad memories when watching, Xiong Zhi had a week of lonely nights.

In her dreams, those disgusting scenes turned very e.r.o.t.i.c when replaced with Linfeng.

She missed Linfeng terribly.

So one night, at that time when Linfeng had just finished lunch, she called as usual, but with a very different state of mind.

While the man was speaking, she could only stare and think of how soft and luscious those ruddy lips were. They were thin but plump and kissable at the same time. The tall nose would nicely snuggle against her face when they kiss.

His strong and toned body was still apparent under his suit, it fitted him well, giving a sense of s.e.xy abstinence. His broad shoulders must look even wider when she put her small hands over them.

His s.e.xy adam's apple rolled up and down every time he swallowed.

Up… and down…

Those wet dreams' hot images resurfaced in Xiong Zhi's mind.

Suddenly, she felt as if the surroundings got hotter.

"Linfeng..."

"Hmm?"

What a s.e.xy and masculine hum.

"...Can you..."

The honest Xiong Zhi blushed.

She felt embarrassed to say it.

"What?"

"Uhm... Can you… Well… It's embarrassing to ask. But lately, I have been having weird…dreams." 

Linfeng: "...."

Seeing how his Young Miss's eyes were avoiding him and how her cheeks burned redder, Linfeng immediately got the idea of what those weird dreams were.

His back suddenly straightened. He hid his mouth with a fist as he coughed in fl.u.s.ter.

The woman's eyes looked brighter on the screen.

"…I have been missing you a lot lately..."

Linfeng's heart thumped fast.

The room suddenly felt hot. He loosened his tie while swallowing.

He was the same. He missed her a lot, especially at night.

"Then, what does my Young Miss want me to do?"

Linfeng asked with a deep voice and darkened eyes.

He had been staying in an open country. From that old man's mouth- William- he had learned a lot of things that a long-distance relationship could do to satisfy their longing for each other. 

Linfeng hadn't suggested or tried any of those because he doesn't feel the need. Besides, it was his young miss, the woman he respected and loved the most. However, if his young miss was the one who suggested it first...then..he had no reason to reject it.

Linfeng quietly fixated the phone on a stand.

Xiong Zhi had always been honest with her desires.

"Can you, take off your coat?"

Linfeng slowly stood up in front of the camera, backed away slightly, and took off his suit coat.

Xiong Zhi's eyes were riveted on the image.

"And... unbutton your shirt… just the three topmost!" she added, after realizing that her request seemed a bit over the top.

Linfeng swallowed.

With blood pumping fast, he did what Xiong Zhi asked without saying anything, but his eyes never left the phone.

He loved how she looked at him with utmost attention.

The upper buttons around his neck and clavicle was unbuttoned, while his neck tie very loosely hung to his chest.

"Take off your tie."

Linfeng gently unraveled his tie and it slid off his shoulders.

"And well, your tie..." Xiong Zhi's voice slightly lowered in hesitation."

Your tie… Can you tie your hands with it...?"

Linfeng's hand which was folding the tie halted.

'….'

What?

"Ugh, if it's too much, you can stop!"

Xiong Zhi said with an embarrassed face, raising her hands to cool her cheeks.

Linfeng was stunned for a while, but seeing Xiong Zhi's burning face which looked like she was looking for hole to hide in, his eyes darkened again.

Oh.

The corners of his lips rose at the discovery.

So she dreamed of him, like this?

His breathing hitched and his inner demon slowly stirred.

"I didn't know you have this kind of taste."

With a s.e.xy smirk, he skillfully made a loop around his hands with his tie. It was loose, but it gave an impression that his hands were tied securely.

Linfeng then looked at Xiong Zhi on the screen, and sat back down on his seat.

He licked his lips, knowing that his lips would look more appealing this way. He leaned back and stared at the camera with a hot gaze.

"Now, my dear Young Miss. Your servant is tied for you to play with, freely."

* (A/n: How Linfeng's phone got hacked?

We know that Linfeng was a cautious man. He had tight security around him. Especially his gadgets that contained a lot of information.

Here's what happened.

Johan who had a group of companies specializing in IT software field hacked the phone with William's help.

Before putting in the short-lived spyware in Linfeng's cellphone, William distracted Linfeng while Johan plugged the phone discreetly to his laptop. It happened during their meeting.

Thus, Linfeng did not have a clue of their hacking. Later at lunch on that same day, they spied the video call.

However, the next day, Linfeng immediately discovered the bug due to his regular security scan, and after his friends acted strange then Eugine spilling the beans, he realized that his friends hacked his phone.

This phone was only for Xiong Zhi and him, the phone wherein whenever it rang he would drop everything off to answer had now the heaviest security out of all his phones.)

PS. Hehe, there would be a part two of their little play lol.
