Chapter 375 - Hearts in different directions

The day-off quickly ended as the couple had to return to their busy lives in the capital city.

Xiong Mansion, East Wing.

Linfeng was standing outside Xiong Zhi's room. He composed himself first before knocking on the door.

"Come in." A soft and a little bit grouchy voice came from inside the room.

Linfeng pushed the cart in and started his routine.

"How is your sleep, Young Miss?" Linfeng asked the woman on the bed, but his eyes never looked at her.

"Good. How about you? Did you take enough rest yesterday?"

Linfeng slightly flinched at her question. He avoided looking at her while showing his gentle smile. He walked to the window and pulled the curtains to the side. "Yes, thank you for concern. I got enough rest."

Lies. He did not get a wink of sleep at all. Only because of one reason.

When he woke up on the bed in the rest house, he was almost shocked to death when he saw his Young Miss in his arms.

His Young Miss's forgot to dress up and only wore her robes when she slept. Because of her unconscious movements while sleeping, the robe was opened widely as one side of her b.r.e.a.s.ts was exposed. Her two slim white legs were all in the open for him to see, entangled with his own legs. Her arms were wrapped around his waist, and her warm breath fanned his neck. The enchanting beauty sleeping by his side was overly tempting, making him all red and hot.

That morning, it took him a long while before he came out of the bathroom. To distract himself, he immediately prepared breakfast and got everything ready for the return trip in the car.

On the way back, he kept silent about the sensual things that happened between them. Now was not the best time for these things yet. There were so many important things they needed to prioritize first. But if he keep on thinking about these things, then he might really lose control and end up pouncing on her.

He needed to protect his Young Miss's chastity from himself at this critical period.

So he talked about things that would distract his mind from her allure all the way back to the Xiong Mansion. The girl seemed to know what was in his heart and kept quiet about it too, not making him embarrassed by mentioning it and letting him pass the hurdle.

But when he came home alone, all the embarrassing moments rushed back into his head and he stayed wide awake all night. He could not help but repeat the e.r.o.t.i.c scenes in his mind over and over again.

Darn. He was like a bashful teenager as he laid on the bed with red ears.

Now, the Young Miss who just woke up in a disheveled state brought the e.r.o.t.i.c memories back again. With all his strength, he avoided looking at her, lest he could not control himself and push her down.

Xiong Zhi watched the man answer with a small 'En' and return to busying himself with tidying up the room.

Her eyes narrowed. Why did she get the feeling that Linfeng was purposely avoiding her?

"Wash," she reminded him to wash her face and hands. Even though she could do it by herself, she still wanted to be pampered by him.

"Alright."

Linfeng walked up to her, soaked the towel with warm water, and began to wipe with a focused face. However, he still did not look directly into her eyes.

The young woman naturally felt it. He was gently patting her face, but his eyes were definitely on the towel.

"What's wrong?" Xiong Zhi held his hand.

Even though Linfeng wore gloves, he could still feel the warmth from her hand.

"Yes, Young Miss?" He looked down to avoid the pair of misty eyes, but his eyes ended up falling onto her slender neck and delicate clavicle. There were still those fading red marks on her neck and collarbone from his kisses.

Linfeng: !!!

He froze. Damn, why did he had to see this of all things?!

"What's wrong?" Xiong Zhi caught his chin and lifted his face to look at her. She doesn't like the feeling when Linfeng avoided his eyes on her. This made her feel insecure and a bit sad.

Her strength was small but Linfeng's guard was not raised at all. Finally, being forced to look at her concerned eyes, Linfeng turned red visibly.

What happened the other day resurfaced in his mind.

'You... okay?'

'Let me take care of that.'

That soft and shy voice coupled with misty eyes and embarrassed face made him tempted. With those same eyes filled with concern, that scene replayed again.

Linfeng felt that all the heat in his body rushed up to his head, then to his heart, and finally straight down to his groin.

Not good.

He tried to distance himself. He moved his face away from Xiong Zhi's hold and took a step back. He put the towel on the tray.

Linfeng's act of avoiding her touch stunned Xiong Zhi for a while. Then, her heart suddenly felt hurt.

For a man, it was just a small movement. But a woman in love gave all meanings to every action from the person they loved. Thus, the tiny action caused a small misunderstanding.

"You...don't like me touching you anymore?" Xiong Zhi's usual composed voice was nowhere. Her voice had a hint of grievance and hurt. She knew she was exaggerating, but this was what was on her heart.

Linfeng's eyes widened when he caught the aggrieved tome. He hurriedly explained. "No, Zhi'er, of course not!"

"Then, what did I do wrong? Why don't you look at me now?"

Why avoid my touch?

Linfeng did not know how to explain himself. In the end, he pacified the woman who was suddenly so sensitive in the morning.

He put his hands on her hair and sighed. "No, it's just that... Young Miss is so lovely that I am afraid I will commit a sin once I lose control of myself." He kissed her forehead affectionately in apology. "I am sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you with those useless worries."

Xiong Zhi's grievances were dispelled instantly and her heart turned mushy.

"We already did those things, yet you're still shy."

Linfeng was speechless for a moment. "...It's precisely because of that that I find it harder to control myself now..."

"It's okay. We are a couple. We are bound to become even more intimate."

And I am definitely fine doing those things with you, she silently added.

Linfen was embarrassed, but his lips quirked up. "Alright. I will keep that in mind."

Although he said that, within his heart, he promised that he would treasure her more and would not take advantage of her willingness. His Young Miss was really pure and devoted in their relationship, but it was because of these that he wanted to treasure her more.

Alas, the two's heart was in different directions regarding this matter.

He gave her one last kiss on the forehead before he reported the matters for today.

"I received an email from that bug."

That bug?

Xiong Zhi confused eyes blinked at him confusedly.
