Chapter 184 - Dripping Wet

After two minutes, a figure was running towards the gate. He had two umbrellas with him.

"Young Miss! Why didn\'t you wait in the car?!" Linfeng was a bit wet from running.

The loud pour of the rain swallowed up his voice.

He took off his coat and dr.a.p.ed over Xiong Zhi.

"You should have called me first before you went here. I can send butlers to you to escort you." Linfeng tirade as he checked upon Xiong Zhi.

Xiong Zhi\'s hands were freezing.

Linfeng cupped it with his other hand and warmed it.

He gave a warning gaze to the man who was holding an umbrella for Xiong Zhi.

It was one of the butlers that his father sent.

"Why didn\'t you call me on your way here? You should let the Young Miss in."

The butler couldn\'t say anything. It was Xiong Zhi who ordered them to do her bid.

"Don\'t be angry at them. They are following my instructions. How about you? Why didn\'t you call me?" Xiong Zhi asked her first question.

Linfeng looked at her worried eyes and sighed. He was just about to call her. He did not forget. The timing was not just right.

"Let\'s go inside, first. " Linfeng used his umbrella for him and Xiong Zhi. He was still holding Xiong Zhi\'s other hand. He got closer to her to give warmth to her cold body.

Linfeng then scowled. Why was she cold? How long did she stay outside the gate?

He ran quickly when he received the text. She should not be this cold.

Linfeng thought, What if Xiong Zhi debated for a while before sending him a text?

Linfeng looked at Xiong Zhi\'s side view. She was a bit wet because of the heavy rain. Her pants were wet. It must be bothersome.

Linfeng let go of her hand and put his free arm around her shoulders. He gently pushed her into his warm chest and slightly hugged her. It was to protect her from the cold rain and to give her warmth.

"Don\'t do those unnecessary things again," Linfeng said above Xiong Zhi\'s head.

It was really unnecessary for Xiong Zhi to debate under the rain on whether to contact him or not.

She should have just called him and demand his presence immediately. What his position was for? He was not her butler for display.

\'Tsk. Why make things hard for herself?\'

Linfeng leads Xiong Zhi to walk towards the Zhou Mansion. His hands gently tighten his hold around her soft body.

Once they arrived at the living room he immediately ordered the maids to prepare a warm bath, hot chocolate and everything.

Xiong Zhi sat down and looked around.

The maids and butlers who were hurrying over were glancing at her. All of them recognized Xiong Zhi. She was the heiress of the Xiong family after all.

One of the butlers went to the elder\'s wings to report the situation.

"Here. Have some hot choco first." Linfeng handed a mug to Xiong Zhi. He also gets a towel to dry the tip of Xiong Zhi\'s hair that got wet by the rain.

"Why did you visit here young miss?" Linfeng started to talk as he dries her hair.

Xiong Zhi took a sip first before she answered.

"I\'m worried."

"What are you worried about that you have to wait outside the gate?" Linfeng\'s voice was a bit stern. It was his tone whenever Linfeng lecture Xiong Zhi in the past and in the present.

Xiong Zhi stared at her mug.

"I heard a voice on the other line while we were talking earlier. I wonder if everything is alright. I\'m worried about you. I\'m distressed."

Xiong Zhi sincerely voiced out what she was feeling. She was always honest when it comes to Linfeng.

Linfeng\'s hand that was combing her hair halted.

"..and I want to see you." Xiong Zhi was still staring at her cup.

Was it too much to check on him? Or bother him? Not seeing him for a moment and thinking that he was in another person\'s - specifically a person that she hates- side made her uneased and agitated. But when she was in front of the Zhou Mansion, she hesitated.

This feeling..was so complicated. So Xiong Zhi decided to be honest.

"And you also did not call me. I am anxious the whole time."

Linfeng put down the towel and tap Xiong Zhi\'s nose from above.

"I\'m sorry..." Linfeng started.

Xiong Zhi was about to look up at him but Linfeng turned her around to face the mug.

"You will get a stiff neck. Ahem." Linfeng coughed a bit to cover his embarrassment. Xiong Zhi was saying things again that made his thoughts ran wild.

"I was about to call you. I am sorry to make you worry. "

Linfeng had a small smile on his face. He unconsciously reached out a strand of Xiong Zhi\'s long hair and brought it near to his face.

"But please, young miss, don\'t do things that make you suffer. I am your butler. You had command over me. If you just give a call and say that you want to see me, I will come running. No matter what." Linfeng lightly kissed the tip of Xiong Zhi\'s hair.

However, Xiong Zhi couldn\'t see this.

Xiong Zhi smiled at his answer. Lu Yin Ze was right.

Even though Linfeng was not yet there to the point of loving her and putting her first in everything, he still cared about her and would take her in his responsibilities.

Xiong Zhi was happy at this. She could take it slow.

"Okay. I will keep that in mind."

"Good. Now, take a warm bath first. "

Xiong Zhi nodded. Then she suddenly remembered one of the important things.

"By the way, is Xiong Wuyu-"

"Linfeng?" A shocked voice caught their attention. It came from the entrance.

Xiong Wuyue was in her nightgown. She was barefooted and pale. She was wet because she had ran from the Guest Wing to the Zhou Mansion. There were butler\'s behind her who was wetter than her. They must have been trying to shed her in the umbrella while running.

Her perfect body figure was exposed as her wet nightgown was hugging her skin.

She was like a little beauty who was sickly and desperate to find her lover through the rain. However, there was no lover.

Xiong Wuyue\'s eyes were a bit wide while looking at Xiong Zhi.

Linfeng inwardly sighed. He forgot her for a moment. How come she was awake now?

And why the heck she was here looking like that?

Linfeng turned to Xiong Zhi first even though Xiong Wuyue was dripping wet.

"Young Miss, the maids are here. Take a bath first. And I will explain things to you afterward. Can you wait for me?" Linfeng\'s voice was gentle. His eyes were saying that he was innocent and there was much to explain.

Xiong Zhi glanced with warning gaze at the seductress Xiong Wuyue. Since she had watched a lot of dramas and learned a lot from them, Xiong Zhi knew what Xiong Wuyue was doing.

Xiong Zhi turned to Linfeng. She saw his expression and nodded. She understands. Even though her hate for Xiong Wuyue reached the heavens, her love for Linfeng was greater than that.

"Alright. I will wait for you here." Xiong Zhi then followed the maids who just arrived. She needs to take a bath quickly and return here.

After Xiong Zhi was gone, Linfeng\'s expressionless face returned.

"Ms. Wuyue, what was so urgent that made you ran here? " Linfeng then gestured to the other maids to bring a towel and prepare a hot bath.

"Are you feeling alright now?" He continued to ask.

Xiong Wuyue was still a bit pale. She was shivering from the cold and also to something else.

"I- \'m dizzy. H-how come she\'s here?" Xiong Wuyue could not hide her trembling voice and terrified expression.

She was terrified that her plan to be closer to Linfeng would be thrashed out by that bitch.

Linfeng calmed voice answered her.

"Ms. Wuyue, Young Miss is the heiress of the Xiong family. Should you address her as Young Miss instead of \'she\'? Young Miss has a higher status than yours. And also, this is the Zhou family mansion. We are loyal to serve the first descendants of the Xiong. It is \'normal\' for her to come here." Linfeng then gets the towel that the butler handed.

He handed it politely to Xiong Wuyue.

"Please dry yourself first. The maids are preparing for your bath."

Xiong Wuyue stared at the towel that Linfeng was handing to her.

She just saw him warmly drying Xiong Zhi\'s hair. How come he could not do it to her? Was it because she was not the young miss?

If she becomes the young miss..would she also receive his warm smile and warm care?

It was just so unfair.

"Maid, please help Miss Wuyue to her bath and prepare warm soup for her. Escort her to the Guest Wing afterward."

The maid bowed and lead Xiong Wuyue.

But Xiong Wuyue did not move.

"Linfeng. Can you come to my room afterward?"
