Xiong Zhi could not fall asleep even though she had tired herself out this whole night.
Her mind was still thinking of Linfeng, especially the mysterious glint in his eyes when he said to 'figure it out' herself.
The charming sight when he pressed her lips against her palm.
The scorching eyes which looked at her without restraint.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
The rhythmic sound of her heartbeat reverberated in her ears.
Xiong Zhi laid on the bed, staring at the ceiling dazedly. She raised a hand to press down on her chest.
Was it the aftershock? With her heart beating so loudly, how would she be able to sleep?
'Did Linfeng safely leave the Xiong Mansion? Would he leave far from the capital? When will he be back? When will I see him again?'
The deep, masculine voice sounded again in her mind. 'Soon.'
She stroked her necklace. Their names engraved on it made her feel more assured that she would see him again.
