To Love You Again

Chapter 360 - Good Morning (I)

"Lu Jin."

"...You sound relieved. What happened?" The other side had a deep and cold voice, but there was a hint of confusion in them. It was subtle.

Guan Gao Huan who was the closest to this man knew him very well. So he noticed it. The same thing to the man, he knew of his friend's tone that he noticed that something was amiss.

But Gao Huan chose not to say anything. "Nothing."

"Is everything all right there?"

The annoying matters were thrown at the back of Guan Gao Huan's mind as the comfort of his friend settled his thoughts.

"Did you just call me for that?" He tried to tease the stern man.

"...No. I am coming back. "

"..."

There was a bit of silence. After a while, Guan Gao Huan asked.

"You are done with the business in the south?"

"Yes."

"It's earlier than scheduled. Did he want to send you here?"

"Yes and no. I finished early, and there are things there that caught my attention."

Guan Gao Huan turned serious. For his friend to come here, it must be serious. "What is it?"

"Someone is messing up with the files."

Guan Gao Huan stiffened. His tone turned colder.

"Which one?"

Lu Jin stayed silent for a moment. Then in a deep tone, he said, "Old ones."

The fingers that were tapping the armest clenched.

'Old ones'

There were old files that were about him.

"...Is it about mine?"

"No. It's a different matter."

Gao Huan seemed a bit relieved.

There was another bout of silence.

"Did you tell him?" Gao Huan's finger unclenched and resumed tapping.

"...No, I didn't. He can't know before we are sure."

'We?' Guan Hao Huan suddenly knew why he called.

This guy wanted him to investigate until he arrived here.

Guan Gao Huan thought of it for a moment, calculating. He would be busy with preparations because the plan with Xiong De to deal with the Head Master of the Xiong family was turning out of his favor.

There were also matters with the heiress of Xiong that needed to be done. In these two years, Gao Huan made many opportunities to meet her alone.

However, the young miss never changed her way of treating him. She treated him like an enemy. She was always on guard with him. This made things harder for him to approach her and make his 'goodwill' reached her. So his mission to make the young miss on his side was a foreseen failure.

And now that the guard dog came back, it would be harder for him to approach the young miss.

He had a lot on his plate.

But this was also very important.

If even one file fall into wrong hands, who knew what and where it might lead?

Gao Huan made a decision. Giving a day or two to help his friend won't harm him.

"Alright. Where do I start?"

******************************

The sun was rising and the morning breeze made the curtains on the windows that were left opened yesterday night float and flutter. The warm golden light shone in from outside, illuminating the beautiful figure of the woman on the bed.

There were three knocks on the door before a deep voice called out, "Young Miss Zhi, are you awake? I am entering."

Xiong Zhi immediately opened her eyes. In actuality, she already woke up a few minutes ago. But yesterday night, Linfeng told her that he would come to the Xiong Mansion and serve her, starting the next morning.

So she waited patiently until Linfeng came to wake her up. It was supposed to be a maid who should serve her, but now that Linfeng was her official butler, he would be taking care of her every need.

Of course, this was only possible because Old Xiong has given up and decided to keep his eyes closed on this matter. Whatever, they were both a.d.u.l.terous lovers anyway.

Xiong Zhi sat up on her bed. Her thin nightgown wrapped around her body nicely. Her long messy hair, rosy cheeks, watery eyes, and charming curves made her an alluring sight.

"Come in," she said. Her voice was a bit hoarse and sluggish, but her eyes were brilliant as she was excited to see her man first thing in the morning.

The door opened and a tall man entered the room. Linfeng was wearing the butler's suit, appearing neat and matured. He looked dashing and handsome.

He pushed in a cart with a gentle smile. Seeing the girl obediently waiting to be served on the bed, Linfeng's smile deepened as his eyes imperceptibly changed. He took in the tempting sight on the bed, but his calm face did not show any changes.

"Good morning, Young Miss. Did you have a good night's sleep?"

Xiong Zhi felt instantly refreshed seeing her gorgeous man soon after waking up. Her expression was soft and her lips contained a happy smile. "En. I had a good dream."

'I dreamt of you again.'

Linfeng took the towel on the tray, dampened it with the warm water the small thermos, leaned over, and carefully patted the damp towel on Xiong Zhi's cheeks. Xiong Zhi leaned forward as well and let him wipe her face gently, closing her eyes.

The low voice sounded again. "That's nice to hear. A good dream can make your day better."

"En. How's your night? Did you sleep well?" Linfeng just came back from overseas, so perhaps he was not fully used to the time difference. It was possible he got a jet lag. She suddenly felt a bit guilty agreeing to let him assist her so soon.

Linfeng's eyes were focused on the smooth face as he gently wiped with the towel. Hearing her question, his onyx eyes darkened a bit. He uttered one word, "Lonely."

Hmm?

Xiong Zhi's eyes opened in confusion. What made him lonely?

Seeing her confused eyes, Linfeng sighed exaggeratedly. "Yesterday is not enough. I was only able to hug my girl for a few minutes, only kissed her a few times. That's not enough at all."

"..."

"We did not meet for more than two long years, but we parted so soon."
