Chapter 532 - The Night's Beginning

As soon as the couple went inside the car and were left to themselves, Linfeng pressed the button for the baffle.

Once the baffle was up, he put down his graceful pretense and immediately sn.a.k.e.d his hands around Xiong Zhi's slender waist.

He sat very close to her and hugged her to him lightly. He gave her a soft kiss on the temple as he was afraid of messing up her make-up.

"I missed you," he whispered.

Xiong Zhi leaned her head on his shoulders.

"We are not able to see each other for almost a week..." she muttered.

She counted the days she had been away from Linfeng.

After Linfeng's appearance as the sixth king, many opportunities approached Linfeng, causing the other to be busier than ever.

Xiong Zhi dismissed Linfeng temporarily from his butler position for a week, so that Linfeng could focus on his work as SC's owner and do his duties as the sixth king.

Xiong Zhi understood that it was Linfeng's peak time wherein his career and business would meet a rapid expansion. This was the most critical time for his company's development.

So she just patiently waited like a housewife for her husband to come home. For the whole week, Linfeng and Xiong Zhi was not able to meet each other.

Xiong Zhi also busied herself with IHZHI's ongoing investigation on their lead in order not to miss Linfeng too much.

There was also the Xiong Empire she needed to handle. Her hands were also full.

However, because the lovers were not able to meet, their desire to see each other grew more intense, making this meeting feel more romantic and passionate than ever.

Xiong Zhi' hands caressed Linfeng's stony chest and she nuzzled her nose against his chin.

She loved his clean and masculine scent. She missed his warmth. Being intimate with him in every single moment she could possibly get was the thing she enjoyed the most. This was why she insisted on riding the car with Linfeng alone.

Thinking that Linfeng was becoming busier as he grew in his career, the thoughts that Xiong Zhi started to harbor since his debut as the sixth king rose in her mind again.

"Say, Linfeng..."

Linfeng looked down at Xiong Zhi.

Their faces were close.

Seeing the set of deep black eyes in a close proximity, Xiong Zhi could also see the trace of sleepless night in there. Her heart ached, but she also felt the importance Linfeng was giving to his achievements, and the hardwork he spent.

"Hmm...?" Linfeng made a sound when Xiong Zhi still did not speak.

Xiong Zhi raised a small hand and touched the corners of his eyes dazedly.

"SC is growing rapidly. And with your identity as the new king, many opportunities will keep coming. You will naturally be busier as time pass by..."

Linfeng was looking intently at her, watching her red lips move while she spoke. Her breathing tickled his face.

"What if...you consider to stop working under me?" Xiong Zhi continued.

"..."

Linfeng was stunned.

That came out of nowhere.

He caught Xiong Zhi's hand, frowning.

"Why do think of that? No matter how busy I am, I will not stop working for you."

Xiong Zhi shook her head.

"That's not what I mean. I know you are talented and capable. But you are still human. You get tired and you also need sleep. I am constantly worrying if you ever managed to get a wink of sleep as SC's boss while acting as my butler at the same time."

Linfeng then understood.

Xiong Zhi was worried that he was not getting enough rest and sleep. 

His heart turned soft. He shook his head with a smile.

"I'm busy at the moment since SC has started growing and also because of my formal debut. However, this season will pass. Besides--" He took her hand to his lips. "I will not be at ease if I am not by your side." He kissed her hand.

Xiong Zhi watched him.

She had thought for a very long time if she should convince Linfeng to stop being her butler. She had prepared many counter arguments and persuasive explanations. But, seeing him like this, it made her want to admit defeat and just be spoiled by him.

Linfeng was not a subordinate who must listen and obey to her every wish. She wanted to respect his decisions too and not just give a one-sided decisive and final statement.

So although she felt distressed for him, she chose to remain quiet and respect his wish. At this time, Linfeng's face appeared stubborn and he would not agree with Xiong Zhi in this argument.

'Let's take it slow then.'

Xiong Zhi sighed inwardly and leaned on his chest again.

"Alright. But I will have to take off a lot of your time working beside me. You will only have to work for me at least twice a week. I really can't bear to see you overwork yourself too much."

That was her lowest limit for now.

Linfeng's eyebrows rose. "You will only miss me that tiny bit? I want to work with you every day, because I miss you every day."

Xiong Zhi smiled and poked at his chest. "Your mouth is getting sweeter."

Linfeng's peachy eyes curved up.

"My mouth?" His tone changed. "You just reminded me, you haven't even tasted it today. How can you say it's good?" he whispered amorously.

Xiong Zhi's hands rose from his chest and sn.a.k.e.d around his neck. 

"You are very playful." She reproached him. However, her burning eyes said otherwise. 

Her face tilted up and inched closer to Linfeng.

Linfeng held her waist.

"Your makeup?" Linfeng's voice deepened into a thick masculine tone.

"I have my pouch for retouching later." 

Without more words, Linfeng bowed down for her lips. At the same time, his other hand pressed the button to raise the partition screen to get more privacy.

He initially just wanted to land a light and gentle kiss, but after pressing their mouths together with their lips and teeth brushing warmly against each other, his girlfriend willingly opened her mouth, her tiny tongue sweeping across his teeth.

With a groan, Linfeng deepened the kiss and plunged into her warm mouth, sucking her tongue with fervor, which elicited a m.o.a.n from Xiong Zhi.

His warm hand caressed her back and her waist...but it never goes beyond those places. 

The temperature in the interior of the car rose as their kisses became more scorching, wanting to eat each other into their stomachs. Their bodies burned with longing, but they knew that they had to restrain themselves. 

It just made their suppressed passion burn more.

With hands exploring each other as restrainedly as possible, the pair of lovers kissed and flirted all the way to the Tang's private concert.

William was dressed lavishly. He was wearing a splendid white double b.r.e.a.s.ted jacket and grey-white slick pants. Especially eye-catching was the retro collar brooch chain, with a vintage Roman Cross diamond-studded pendant on top of his grey necktie, its platinum chains wrapped around and fixed the collar in place.  Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #'s-beginning_52507566026057033 for visiting.

The light color of the outfit and the shimmering retro accessory made him look like a prince from a fairy tale. Especially when it was coupled with his golden blond hair and his bewitching blue eyes, he was truly like a medieval aristocratic prince transported to the modern world.

However, the usual cool and playful William had a distorted expression on his face which did not go with his pristine appearance.

As Xiong Zhi's request, he would be accompanying IHZHI's artists to the venue.

He was alright with it since it was his last job with IHZHI, and more over, Xiong Zhi compensated him well by buying him an expensive suit to his liking. However, what he did not like was Xiong Zhi's arrangement to ride with another male IHZHI artist, specifically that man.

The moment the car arrived at the parking lot of the venue, he immediately opened the car door, went out, and distanced himself from his 'companion'.

Soon after, a man with long hair tied neatly in a stylish braided pony tail wearing a cream-colored suit with beige pants came out.

King Yan looked very handsome in his elegant two button suit jacket. He looked at William with questions in his eyes.

William straightened out his suit and said in a cool manner. "I am just in need of fresh air," he said in defense. He still wanted to preserve his cool image even he was a bit 'afraid' of this man. 

William had heightened senses thanks to his training in mixed martial arts since young.

So earlier, he naturally knew how King Yan 'subtly' studied him from head to toe. Especially on his chest area and below... and even when he got off the car, those eyes felt as if they were trying to bore a hole through his buttocks...

The pair of dark eyes made William feel as if he was being stripped n.a.k.e.d as moments passed.
