To Love You Again

Chapter 431 - Little White Face

Jang Shin glanced at Linfeng with dead fish eyes.

\'This betrayer!\'

Should he be annoyed by Linfeng\'s narcissism or alarmed that Linfeng actually complimented IHZHI\'s owner?

\'Bro! Don\'t fall to our enemy\'s hands!\'

Jang Shin sighed.

Then he became serious. "By the way, Linfeng. Are you sure about this? All eyes are on this event. You attending this event, are you trying to expose your identity as SC\'s owner?"

Linfeng looked outside the window. "I am. I want to try and let the public accept my identity little by little. Not only as a butler to my Young Miss but as her equal."

"..."

Jang Shin turned silent.

It was all about his Young Miss.

His friend was really adamant about standing by Xiong Zhi\'s side as her equal.

No butler in history managed to do that feat, at most they could only be considered as a little white face*.

But if Linfeng wanted to do it, it should be possible with his friend\'s stubbornness and ability.

(E/N: a little white face is a person who is usually a beautiful or handsome man of lower background being supported by someone more powerful and wealthier, whom he was in a relationship with)

Jang Shin fell silent with many thoughts running in his mind.

He suddenly asked.

"Standing by her side as her butler and at the same time her lover, wouldn\'t that be too hard?"

"What is hard about it?"

A certain young miss popped up in Jang Shin\'s mind.

"…Let\'s face it, it\'s a taboo in our society. Especially to us. We are serving the four legendary families. People will not accept this easily. If they did, they will look at the relationship not at the romantic aspect but on the political angle, whether there are benefits or a loss. Especially because one party has a lower status than the other. Isn\'t it not surprising that people will look down at such a relationship? "

Jang Shin did not know what point he was trying to prove.

Marriage in upper society was all about politics. Only a tiny percent of some couples married out of love. So why was he so concerned about it? It was not like he would marry... a certain someone... out of romance...

"That\'s why you have to work hard for it. Our status since birth is lower than our masters, so we can only try to improve our cards. We don\'t want to be looked down upon and we also don\'t want everyone to look down on our young misses when they decide to marry us."

Linfeng once had a belly of insecurities over his status and position.

He did not want to be called a little white face because it meant that his Young Miss would be laughed at for having him, a lowly servant, as her lover. He did not want to depend on his Young Miss\'s status and position. He wanted to prove to the world what he could do and achieve as Linfeng.

But after being separated for more than two years, Linfeng actually had some regrets.

At times when he terribly missed Xiong Zhi, he even entertained the thought that perhaps, it was alright to depend on his Young Miss. With his Young Miss\'s handsome flair, if she asked him to marry her and become a house husband, he might even happily agree at those points in time.

Sigh, love was truly mysterious. It could bend one\'s principles.

Fortunately, Linfeng would never allow himself to just smooch of his Young Miss\'s hard work. He must work hard too for their future. He had to give her the best of everything. So his young miss would never leave him and no one could take away his young miss from him.

While reminiscing about his past experiences in these two long years of separation, Linfeng suddenly thought of something.

Why was this question asked by Jang Shin? The Jang Shin he knew was incredibly dense and insensitive when it came to things like this—romance.

He blinked and teased Jang Shin. "Now, why are we talking about marriage? Do you have someone in mind, Jang Shin? For example, a certain Young Miss surnamed Tang?"

Jang Shin\'s face turned red.

"Nonsense! Who wants to marry a shemale!"

Linfeng: Why are you turning red then?

Jang Shin met Linfeng\'s suspicious eyes.

He coughed. He looked ahead of the road and saw the massive traffic by the entrance of the ArtWorld area.

He hastily changed the subject. "Anyway, we are near the venue. Many people are coming… too much in fact. Good thing this place is out of the main road. I think we should park at a nearby parking lot and just walk up to there."

Linfeng just gave him a glance and let it go.

He looked at the traffic and was about to agree when his phone rang. He looked at the phone.

It was his Young Miss.

His face softened and he answered the phone.

Seeing Linfeng wearing that skin-crawling overly-soft look, Jang Shin knew it was his treasured Young Miss.

Soon after, Linfeng put down the phone with a small smile.

"There\'s no need to park here. We have our own space reserved for us. Turn the car around."

"Alright." Jang Shin followed Linfeng\'s instruction when he suddenly realized something.

\'Eh, how did Linfeng know that? Was that IHZHI\'s call, not Xiong Zhi\'s?\'

***

The uproar yesterday was a major contribution to the heavy traffic in XYY highway.

A lot of people who had seen the news in social media wanted to personally see the opening of this famous ArtWorld.

The big corporations who began to have an interest in IHZHI also sent representatives to witness the opening and ribbon cutting of ArtWorld that even the Xiong Empire allegedly could not build.

The media reporters and journalists naturally would not let themselves be left behind.

Their curiosity was piqued.

How great would this ArtWorld turn out to be?

The only way to find out was to go to the opening. Thus, it resulted to a lot of traffic in the newly paved road leading to the entrance of ArtWorld.
