Chapter 362 - Day-Off

On top of the bed, a handsome and abstinent butler tightly covered in a butler suit was leaning over the bed and kissing his just awoken Young Miss in a thin and flimsy nightgown intensely.

The alluring Young Miss wrapped her arms around his neck and actively deepened the kiss, eliciting a groan from the butler. His gloved hand ran across her back, but unsatisfied with the indirect contact, he took off the gloves, threw them aside, and his bare hands finally touched her skin, caressing and rubbing in circles.

The woman m.o.a.ned at the sudden warm touch on her back, which was sending numbing and electrifying sensations to her limbs and to her brain.

They pressed against each other, the man savoring the soft and smooth body in his embrace, and the woman enjoying the strong and reliable body of her man.

A prim and ascetic butler locked in an embrace with an alluring young mistress, it was such an a.d.u.l.terous sight. The taboo feeling seemed to make the scene more passionate and ardent.

After a long time, Linfeng leaned his forehead against Xiong Zhi's, both panting and trying to catch their disordered breath. There was a suspicious silver thread hanging between their lips. The man's dark eyes stared gently at his Young Miss's face. His big hand caressed her hair while his other arm firmly encircled around her waist, not letting go.

They stayed like this for a long time, just feeling each other's breath.

"I am so glad I am back here. I can touch you freely now," Linfeng whispered.

Xiong Zhi leaned against him and laid her head against his chest. How she missed his touch and embrace.

"En, this time, we won't be separated anymore." Her watery eyes shimmered with a firm light. The days ahead would not be as peaceful as today, but she was determined to fight alongside her man. There were so many people who wanted to tear them apart, like Xiong Wuyue and the beast.

A sharp look flashed by in her eyes. As if she would let them.

Her small hands reached out to touch Linfeng's smooth cheek, caressing and rubbing his handsome and gentle features. The man looked down at her indulgently with an affectionate look in his eyes.

It was a good thing they were alone. If other maids saw them, they would be shocked to see that a master and a butler could be so intimate like this.

"Linfeng, let's date today." Xiong Zhi suddenly decided.

Linfeng held the small hand that was on his cheek. He smiled lovingly. "Alright. Is it Young Miss's treat?"

He thought, 'We should take this chance to get out and relax, before all troubles erupted. We might not have such a leisurely day.'

"En, leave it to me," Xiong Zhi nodded earnestly.

He chuckled. He was only teasing her, but it seemed like his Young Miss already had something in mind.

"I look forward to it." He pinched her nose and stood up. "For starters, eat your breakfast first. I prepared your favorite soup."

Xiong Zhi let out a beatific smile. Her eyes were brimming with happiness.

The shocking news about the broken treaty of the Xiong and Zhou families spread widely. There were many large media companies who wanted to interview the family members of both the Xiong and the Zhou. Some representatives of the companies partnered with the Xiong and Zhou's joint businesses were demanding to have a meeting with the joint companies' shareholders and board of directors.

Old Xiong was listening to Zhou Min's report. It was morning and not even lunch time yet, but there were already so many requests asking for his presence, piled up into a mountain.

"Mr. Simons is asking for an appointment today afternoon. I looked over into it and it might be related to the sudden transfer of our shares in the JHHS—"

Old Xiong was fed up and raised his hand to interrupt Zhou Min.

"Where is my granddaughter? This matter should be reported to her."

Zhou Min put down the tablet and pushed up his glasses. "Young Miss Zhi reported earlier morning that she would be taking a day off."

"..." Old Xiong looked speechlessly at Zhou Min.

"Master was still sleeping at that time. Young Miss went out right after breakfast. This lowly butler could not stop her in time," Zhou Min explained. He could not stop the heiress to go out just by his powers alone. Besides, he also did not want to stop them.

"...Is your son with her?"

Zhou Min nodded, his face calm but his back had a cold sweat. He hoped Old Xiong would not send his men to stop the couple in the midst of their date.

The old man's face soured.

"It's too early in the morning, yet they already went out? Tsk." Old Xiong harrumphed.

He finished his breakfast. "Fine, I'll close an eye for now. It seemed like I need to personally go to the company. Prepare the car." Then he remembered their so-called 'sick' ploy.

Old Xiong doesn't know which one was of their enemy that his granddaughter was asking for this kind of farce. But since yesterday's exposure, the other side must have been alerted by now. He could not tell when the other party would start attacking, but it was better to be prepared at all times. "Right, make sure that the security measures we have discussed before are all in place, keep everyone's eyes open at all times. There's no allowance for neglect."

"Yes, Master."

Old Xiong had no choice but to attend to the matters today. Today was the most troublesome day in the aftermath of the announcement! Yet his granddaughter suddenly took a day off. He felt bitter and grumpy that his granddaughter decided to spend the day on other people and left behind the mess to him.

Sigh, fine. He would graciously give in, considering that that child had worked hard in these past two years.
