To Love You Again

A Maserati convertible car drove past as the cold breeze ruffled Xiong Zhi's hair. The windows were left open after they exited the city. Linfeng was on the driver's seat as he glanced at Xiong Zhi from time to time.

"Where are you taking me?" He asked with a smile at the woman beside him. 

They have no guards nor drivers with them, just the two of them.

Of course, Linfeng had already ensured that there would be a hidden personnel in the distance watching over their backs in the shadows, who would alarm him the instant they notice anything amiss in the surroundings. The missile-proof car they were using was also pre-installed by the highest grade security and detection system.

These minor and invisible details showed Linfeng's care.

Both were wearing a casual shirt and dress. Today they were not a butler and an heiress. They were just a normal couple who wanted to enjoy the day after being separated for so long.

He followed Xiong Zhi's instruction. Right now, they were driving for three hours already and they were outside the bustling cities, leaving the metropolitan buildings behind and heading towards the lush greeneries at the coast.

"You'll see," Xiong Zhi said mysteriously.

Linfeng chuckled. "I wonder what kind of surprise it is, with you hiding it so secretively, Zhi'er." 

After checking that there were no other nearby people around, he pressed a button and the next moment, the roof half opened.

The fresh wind messed both of their hairs wildly. 

"Uwah, my hair would look like pasta noodles after this." Xiong Zhi complained softly but her eyes were shining, clearly enjoying the buffeting wind. 

The car drove smoothly for miles and the wind brushed past their bodies, carrying their laughter away. There was a sense of freedom, as if they were finally unfettered from the rules. Xiong Zhi raised a hand outside the convertible to caress the wind with a laughter on her face and her hair dancing wildly.

Linfeng pressed on the music player. The upbeat music made the two smile more. The scenery around them changed into a greener one. The lush trees and sloping hills finally surrounded them. They could faintly see the horizon at one side, interspersed between the lush trees and slopes.

Linfeng somehow recognized this place, but he played ignorant as if he did not know a thing about here.

Soon, a striking ocean view came to their sight. The white sand shimmered under the sun. 

They parked in a wide yard with identity and biometric scanners.

Linfeng knew this place. This was a membership-only private beach for exclusive members of a certain group of the upper society. The security here was absolutely stellar. Privacy was highly prioritized and each member owned a rest house.

"I learned this place from Tang Xinyang. I became a member on my eighteenth birthday," Xiong Zhi explained. "Actually, I applied for yours as well after I became a member." It was easy because the Zhou family was still their subordinate family before, and Linfeng's doc.u.ments could be easily accessed by her.

"This place is strict in privacy. Even my grandfather won't be able to come here without a membership card," Xiong Zhi smiled proudly at Linfeng. "So this would be a perfect place for our date. No one can interrupt us." 

Xiong Zhi learned a lot, based on their previous dates where they got interrupted many times. 

This time, no one can ever disturb them! There was a blazing fire behind her back.

Linfeng and Xiong Zhi knew that with the bomb that the Xiong and the Zhou families threw to the high society, they would be bombarded with media everywhere. Coming out for a date elsewhere at this time would just force them into the media's constant interruption. It would just make them exhausted and their date would turn into nothing.

Thus, she chose this place where the media or any people who might know them could not disturb them.

She was about to get out of the car but Linfeng stopped her. He closed the roof first, gently pulled her into his arms, and kissed her head. "My Zhi'er is so considerate. A kiss for a reward." He gave her a quick peck on the lips. 

This sudden cheesy attack made Xiong Zhi blush and smile, happiness bubbling from within her. She felt moved again at the thought that he had improved so much from before.

Her Linfeng was so romantic!

Linfeng went out and turned to Xiong Zhi's door. He gently escorted her out.

"So now my guide, tell me which one is our house?" Linfeng said playfully.

Xiong Zhi played with him and fixed her face into a serious expression. "Please follow me, Sir." She took Linfeng's hand. "In case you got lost." 

Xiong Zhi's serious expression while saying the latter made Linfeng laugh. His amused laughter echoed in the parking lot. They began to walk forward.

"You should tie me with you if you are afraid you might lose me."

"I will, later," Xiong Zhi said with a still serious expression on her face. "On my bed." 

Linfeng choked on his laughter and coughed, his face suddenly flushing. He covered his mouth with his fist and coughed again before falling silent. His ear tips were red and his thoughts ran wild. His heart began to pound. Could it be...?

Xiong Zhi glanced at him and noticed his erratic eyes. Amused, she lightly laugh. 

It seemed like Linfeng looked a bit scared. She teased him, "Are you really that afraid?"

Linfeng sensed the mischief in her voice. Oh, so she was only teasing him. He sighed in relief, but there was also a sense of disappointment. His eyes narrowed and he leaned over. With his lips near her ears and his warm breath brushing at the side of her face, he deliberately lowered his voice. "No, rather, I am afraid that someone's chastity will be at risk."

"..." Xiong Zhi shivered. His deep and magnetic voice sent an electric current on her spine. Her mind suddenly went haywire, imagining of various not-so innocent things.

Her cheeks blushed furiously. 

Seeing that he finally made her shy, Linfeng triumphantly smiled.

One point for him. At last!
