To Love You Again

Chapter 497 - His Entrance

Lu Yin Ze\'s silver blue eyes shone with a splendid light when he heard Xiong Zhi\'s \'answer\'.

Could he consider it as her forgiving him?

Lu Yin Ze was truly happy.

He finally turned to look at her, his gentle face looking pleasantly surprised.

"Xiong Zhi—"

"I know I\'ve been talking a lot here, and a lot of you are wondering if it is another \'coronation\' day. The last time we commemorated a day like this, I was introduced to everyone."

A sound of agreeing murmurs and nodding followed.

Erich\'s speech was finally coming to the point.

The guests held in their breaths and anticipated what the man in front would say.

Would the sixth king be truly born today?

In the midst of the excited crowd, Lu Yin Ze\'s mind was not there.

His eyes were only focused on the woman who had occupied his mind for a long time.

"Xiong Zhi…"

Xiong Zhi could no longer pretend that she did not hear him, so she turned to face him.

Her face was still cold and her eyes contained a sharp look.

Lu Yin Ze: "I want to apologize for my rudeness before."

The voice from the speakers still resounded in the background.

"…We prepared for this day to celebrate the success of ZD, and also…"

Lu Yin Ze: "I know I am wrong, I am truly sor—"

"I left you my decision the last time we met," Xiong Zhi cut him off.

"If you give up in your feelings for me, I can accept you as my friend again."

Lu Yin Ze felt that his heart was stabbed.

"I know that liking me is your business, but I can\'t stay as your friend knowing that. I don\'t want any ambiguity with other men."

"Xiong Zhi…"

"I am with Linfeng, and I can\'t have you around if you have ambiguous feelings for me. I will only have Linfeng in this life."

Lu Yin Ze clenched his fist, feeling another bout of pain in his chest.

He had prepared himself before approaching her.

He knew how ruthless Xiong Zhi was. She did not like gray areas. Her likes and dislikes were clear. Alas, her words were still crushing.

However, he had already settled this matter in his heart. There was no way he could give up on her. He just couldn\'t.

But he also did not want to become alienated from her. He just wanted to be near her. So he knew what to answer.

"I am…" He started.

"…to everyone the new member of our group…"

Lu Yin Ze: "…willing to…"

Xiong Zhi distractedly raised a hand to stop him.

"Hold on. Let\'s continue this afterwards."

Lu Yin Ze: "…Eh?"

"This is a very important moment."

The woman then took out a slim camera from her purse. She turned to face the door and started filming.

Lu Yin Ze: ? ? ?

The cool and indifferent woman in front of him transformed akin to… a fan following a star?

Her usually calm eyes were bright at this moment, and her face was pursed up as if she was holding down a smile while trying to remain expressionless.

Lu Yin Ze: …Were you even listening to me?

Erich finished the suspense. "…Here is the sixth member of our brotherhood, who will share our joy and sorrow, Mr. Zhuo Linfeng!"

The door opened once more.

A tall and handsome man entered the hall.

His slim fit black suit accentuated his tall and well-built figure. Broad shoulders, strong chest, slim waist, and straight back. His long legs stretched unhindered with each stride forward.

Linfeng\'s sharp eyebrows and long lashes were clearly exposed to the public\'s eyes. His dark peach blossom eyes looked straight ahead.

Only he knew that he was looking for a certain someone in the corners of his eyes.

Just as Xiong Zhi had thought, once Linfeng was out of his butler suit and no longer suppressed his aura, his charismatic and confident temperament would be the most eye-catching in any place.

Today, Linfeng was not under anyone\'s shadow.

His magnificence could be seen by everyone. His temperament was not less than the five kings.

Xiong Zhi tightened her hold on the camera. Her chest was filled with something inexplicable.

Pride, joy, and a sense of possessive want…

This unrestrained Linfeng could make any woman\'s legs here turn into jelly.

Xiong Zhi quietly pressed down the desire to hide the man.

She really wanted to push him right now to one corner and punish him for looking so detectable in public.

Reminded that her man was likely being fantasized right now, Xiong Zhi\'s cold eyes scanned around the hall.

As expected, the ladies were drooling.

Can\'t they at least hide the look on their faces? They were truly like a pack of wolves lighting up at the sight of fresh meat.

"Oh-ooh~, look at that, what a handsome young man. They said his surname is Zhou?"

-Yes, are you deaf?

"I never saw him before. Is he a new business magnate or a previously hidden young master?"

-No, he\'s my capable boyfriend.

"I\'ve been to here to the Country C for the fifth time already. I swear I had never seen this man. If he was in those parties, he would\'ve stood out. He must be new."

-Because you\'re blind.

"Do you think he\'s still single? Asians are my cup of tea. I initially fancied Mr. Erich, but this man… he\'s definitely a lady-killer. That body, and those long legs, I really like."

Xiong Zhi\'s ears immediately twitched hearing the last sentence.

Her eyes chilled as she glanced sideways.

The woman did not notice her looking because her appreciative eyes were still on Linfeng.

Xiong Zhi coughed, but the woman still failed to notice.

She frowned, feeling annoyed.

She felt as if this woman was stripping her boyfriend with those brazen eyes!

Xiong Zhi\'s face smoothed out. She fluidly moved forward and slid in front of the woman.

\'Let\'s see if you can still see him.\'

As expected, the woman grumbled.

"I can\'t see him. This lady is blocking my view."

Xiong Zhi raised a brow and ignored the ladies behind her. Her eyes moved back to Linfeng who finally reached the five men ahead of the crowd.

…Alas, with her slender body, she could never block the rest of the eyes from all around.

Xiong Zhi comforted herself. Forget it, it\'s not like they can touch my man. They can only look.

She suddenly felt that she was being too unreasonable and over possessive.

When Linfeng glanced at her side, he stopped for a moment.

His gaze strayed behind and darkened with dangerous light.

His gaze only turned soft when Xiong Zhi subtly waved.

Linfeng\'s lips curved up as he smiled at Xiong Zhi\'s direction. The smile was gentle and charming, unlike his initially sharp and cool demeanor. A small dimple was even seen on his cheek.

"So handsome!"

"He smiled at me…"

"No, it\'s me…"

The vinegar jar\'s ears twitched again.

She turned to sweep her cold eyes behind her.

"Stop dreaming."

The group of ladies collectively looked at her in confusion. ? ? ?

"He\'s looking at me. He is already taken, so if you can kindly back off."

A resounding applause swallowed her words, making the ladies unable to fully distinguish her words.
