Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 1276: Chapter 1310: Only Treating Zhang Xixi as a Little Sister

“Big Brother Lin, it’s been ages since you last came to see me. How come you have the time to come back today?”

Zheng Xiaofang hugged a folder in her arms, looking carefree. Her relationship with Lin Zifeng was quite good, so joking around came naturally.

“Hehe, I’ve just been too busy, so I haven’t been coming to the company lately. Why? How’s Director Zhang? Uh, no, I should call her Minister Zhang now.”

“Tch! All you care about is our beautiful Director Zhang. For someone like me, a low-level employee, of course, you, Minister Lin, wouldn’t bother thinking about me.”

As she kept talking, Lin Zifeng felt a hint of jealousy mixed in.

His eyebrows slightly raised, he knew if Zheng Xiaofang continued, the conversation would likely head in a different direction.

“Uh… Xiaofang, can you stop teasing me like this? We’ve been working together for quite some time, don’t you know my character by now?”

Lin Zifeng looked troubled.

Apparently, Zheng Xiaofang was openly teasing him.

“Hey, I’m serious, Lin Big Brother. Do I seem like I’m messing with you?”

Zheng Xiaofang kept going, swaying her shapely hips as she squeezed into the elevator, maintaining an intimate distance with Lin Zifeng, her waist softly pressed against his left side.

“…” Lin Zifeng’s greedy gaze swept over those impressive curves, but due to the constraints of professional attire, it was hard to visually gauge her measurements.

“Alright, alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Hurry up, Director Zhang is still in the office. If you’re late, she might get asked out by some other guy.”

With that, Zheng Xiaofang playfully bumped her pert hip against Lin Zifeng’s waist, covering her mouth as she giggled; she loved seeing men flustered around her.

“Bye, Minister Lin. Good luck, hope you can win the beauty and maybe end your bachelorhood too.”

“Whoosh…”

The elevator doors softly closed, covering Zheng Xiaofang’s smiling face.

“Damn it! How do you know I’m a bachelor? I’m a pure and true man!”

Lin Zifeng screamed in his mind.

Seriously telling himself, yes! That’s right! I’m a genuine bachelor!

Uh—seems like I’m quite experienced already?

Following the direction Zheng Xiaofang pointed, after greeting a few familiar faces along the way, Lin Zifeng returned to his former office.

Even though he hadn’t been working there for a while, the office was still kept clean for him, spotless.

Sitting at the desk where he used to play games for a living, Lin Zifeng reflected.

I have to say, time flies. It’s been half a year since I returned to the country, and the 23-year-old beautiful CEO is probably turning 24 soon.

“Hmm? Why is he back!”

Just then, Zhang Xixi, in her high heels, was preparing to send a report for printing. When passing Lin Zifeng’s office, she habitually turned to look, just in time to see Lin Zifeng settling in, looking quite pleased.

“Big Brother Lin!”

Without thinking, Zhang Xixi put down the folder in her hand and quickly rushed in from outside.

Hearing the hurried footsteps, Lin Zifeng turned to see Zhang Xixi’s smiling face as she entered.

Since that meal at a hotel, they hadn’t seen each other for a long time.

“Xixi.” Lin Zifeng nodded and smiled, naturally opening his arms to hug her.

However, Zhang Xixi’s pretty face quickly turned a bit red, her eyes darted around, seeming a bit embarrassed.

But in the end, she didn’t hesitate to rush into Lin Zifeng’s embrace.

“What, we haven’t seen each other in so long, and you give me such a big hug right away, aren’t you afraid people will misunderstand us?”

Lin Zifeng teased her with a smile.

Noticing that Zhang Xixi’s appearance and aura had significantly changed since they last saw each other.

Previously, Zhang Xixi always dressed more reserved and elegant in the company.

But now, she’s wearing a Korean-style fitted black coat, paired with a bright shirt, a thin scarf around her neck, and two long slender legs, looking very pleasing and striking.

“Sorry, Big Brother Lin, it’s all my fault for being impulsive.” With such words from Lin Zifeng, Zhang Xixi blushed again. She was always a reserved woman, unable to handle this kind of teasing.

“Haha… what’s with impulsive or not, what’s our relationship? Do we need to talk like this?”

Considering Zhang Xixi’s nature, Lin Zifeng worried that the hug earlier might have put psychological pressure on her, which wouldn’t be good.

“Relationship? What relationship?”

Zhang Xixi’s eyes lit up, feeling a bit happy.

She thought Lin Zifeng was confirming their relationship.

But his next words shattered her hopes.

“I’ve always seen you as a sister, so no matter how you act in front of me, I won’t get angry. Silly girl.”

“Boom!”

Zhang Xixi felt as if her heart was being stabbed by countless small needles, she froze, instinctively stepping back two steps. So he always saw me as a sister?

Didn’t he realize I secretly liked him all along? Or was everything I did just my own wishful thinking?

“What’s wrong?” Lin Zifeng stepped forward to support her, still unaware of Zhang Xixi’s emotions.

“No, nothing.” Zhang Xixi didn’t know how to directly face Lin Zifeng anymore.

“By the way, Big Brother Lin, I have some work to do. The Finance Department’s latest report is waiting for me to handle. If you have time, just rest here, okay?” Zhang Xixi’s heart was aching, she was avoiding him, avoiding Lin Zifeng’s irresistible gaze.

And that faint smell of tobacco on him.

“Alright, go ahead then, I’ll just wander around the company for a bit.” Lin Zifeng waved his hand, not noticing Zhang Xixi’s feelings at all.

Watching Zhang Xixi’s lonely figure gradually disappear.

Lin Zifeng still didn’t realize her feelings.

Staying in the office for a while, as someone who doesn’t sit still, he wandered around the company.

By the time he was off work, he once again encountered Zhao Xuemo, the elf-like Zhao Xiaoshi!

“Brother-in-law!”

From afar, Zhao Xiaoshi spotted Lin Zifeng’s figure and recognized him immediately.

“Get lost! You’ve got the wrong person.” Lin Zifeng turned his head and left.

“Brother-in-law, I know it’s you, don’t be like this. Why do you act like you’ve seen a ghost when you see me?”

More than just a ghost, it was like seeing a demon! Lin Zifeng wanted to say but ended up holding it back.
