A Hidden Lord

While Linfeng was leading the way with Mr. Finch, his eyes were talking to Xiong Zhi.

Linfeng: I'll be just quick.

Xiong Zhi subtly smiled at him. Her eyes gave a reply.

Xiong Zhi: I understand. Go, seal the deal.

Linfeng smiled at her. He appreciated her cheering for him. But then he remembered the bug.

Even that bug flew away, who knows when 'it' would return?

Linfeng gave her one meaningful glance: Stay away from that bug. His virus is contagious.

Xiong Zhi did not understand that last glance. But she still nodded with a smile.

Xiong Zhi: I will take care. Remember, no talking to ladies alone. Good luck.

Linfeng gave her a subtle wink before he turned to the corner.

Linfeng: See you later, my love.

Xiong Zhi chuckled. She covered her smiling lips.

Ah, people would wonder if they saw her smiling alone like a fool.

Xiong Zhi took a glass of wine from the server. Her lips still contained a smile.
