To Love You Again

Chapter 555 - Still Lacking in the Art of Pursuing

But because of their fight earlier, Jang Shin did not want to offend Tang Xinyang any further, so he no longer chattered about Tang Xinyang falling into William's trap and confronted William directly.

"This is my seat. Sir William has his own designated place."

"Buzz. Buzz. What's that? Is someone talking? I can't seem to hear it," Tang Xinyang sarcastically said as she looked at Xiong Zhi and Linfeng with fakely widened eyes.

She never once glanced at Jang Shin.

Xiong Zhi, Linfeng, and William: "..."

Jang Shin sighed in frustration.

It was clear that Tang Xinyang was still angry with what happened earlier. He... could not blame her. Even Jang Shin was angry at himself.

He could only back off right now.

Jang Shin took a deep breath. "You can stay, Sir William. I will look for my seat." But he gave William a warning glare, before he turned around and walked away.

Finally, Tang Xinyang looked at his back. Her eyes was not triumphant at all, but downcast. She felt aggrieved and at the same time, angry.

The bastard did not even bothered to coax her.

But Tang Xinyang composed herself. She would not run after him or chase him! She was still angry.

Xiong Zhi took the farce in with a dull look. She then leaned towards Tang Xinyang.

"You are really not going to beat him up?" Xiong Zhi wanted to smack men who kept giving a hard time to good girls like Tang Xinyang. In a tantalizing voice, she persuaded, "You can call him out, bring him to some place, then teach him a lesson. The concert is on break, you can just return when it resumes."

William glanced at Xiong Zhi in alarm.

Woman, please stay out of it!

Tang Xinyang glanced at her glass dully. "Not now. I am not really in the mood."

Xiong Zhi paused.

"Are you giving up?"

Xiong Zhi was referring to Tang Xinyang's pursuit of love.

Tang Xinyang frowned. "Of course not. I am just angry," she straightforwardly answered.

Xiong Zhi nodded and looked at the direction where Jang Shin had left to. Because of the people standing on the way, she could not see exactly the people at the fifth row.

However, Xiong Zhi could see a head of a woman on the table where Jang Shin seemed to be heading to.

Xiong Zhi's phoenix eyes narrowed.

"If that was the case, I'd like to tell you, Jang Shin is heading towards the fifth row, where a lone woman is sitting at. I think he plans take a seat there--"

Tang Xinyang immediately stood up in a flash and left the table with a darkened face.

Linfeng chuckled at the side. "Is that really needed? I think Jang Shin should be taught a lesson. Tang Xinyang ignoring him is a very good punishment to him."

Xiong Zhi shook her head. "That can be done, but what if Jang Shin takes an interest to a woman other than Tang Xinyang? It is better if she secures his heart first, before punishing next. What can she get if the heart doesn't belong to her?"

Linfeng raised his eyebrows in surprise and observed his girlfriend, who for the longest time had not known much about these emotional things. "You know a lot."

The corners of Xiong Zhi's lips rose. "Of course. I studied well."

Linfeng smiled. "Because of me?"

Xiong Zhi was very honest. "Yes. You are very stubborn and hard to seduce back then."

Linfeng bursted out laughing. He remembered those times, when he was truly hard-headed yet still fell for her charms.

Linfeng could not help but hold her hand and kiss her fingers. If the lights were out, he would have already kissed her.

Willim rolled his eyes at them.

Some people who managed to glance accidentally spurted the wine they just drank.

So the sixth king and the Xiong heiress were really an item?!

Ignoring the reactions of the people around them, Linfeng glanced at the pair of childhood sweethearts in the distance. "You are right, it's possible for weak-willed men to do that, however, it is unlikely for him. Jang Shin's heart is already taken."

It was Xiong Zhi's turn to be surprised. "What do you mean?"

Xiong Zhi did not know Jang Shin enough and could not tell what the man was feeling exactly, but Linfeng could guess it.

"He has already fallen for Xinyang. All he needs is a little push. So Tang Xinyang ignoring him and giving him space is the right move. It will give him a sense of urgency."

Xiong Zhi was taken aback. It seemed that even though she had studied the arts of pursuing, she was still lacking.

Her blank face looked at Linfen in admiration. "Now I know why I fell for you in the past. You are actually very cunning."

"..."

Linfeng: What?

Xiong Zhi sipped on her wine. She muttered thoughtfully as if she was suddenly enlightened. "So you actually seduced me first, I didn't just realized it..."

"Huh?" Linfeng was blank.

When did he do that?

Xiong Zhi just shook her head. She could not tell Linfeng that he had once stayed by her side in the past lifetime. After the treaty was broken, Linfeng chose to stay by her side as her butler.

That time, Linfeng had changed.

If he was very adhering to the rules and was distant before the treaty was dissolved, after Linfeng came back, he became very expressive and did things that made her inexperienced heart skip a beat many times.

Like kissing her hair without notice or being overly gentle and intimate.

Come to think of it, Linfeng took advantage of the purely ignorant and innocent young her back then!

Xiong Zhi was very astonished at her discovery.

***

(A/n: If you had read the past chapters where there are flashbacks in Xiong Zhi's memories, the Linfeng that time who had returned after treaty, when he had finally accepted his feeling for his young miss and no longer suppressed it, he had deliberately made moves on the ignorant Xiong Zhi.

So it is right to say that Linfeng had really seduced Xiong Zhi back then. And he succeeded ~(￣▽￣)~*. This lifetime, it is the other way around. )
