Novel Bin Chapter 136 Meeting Alev Knigh
Tonight though the private rooms on the third floor were off limits. Professional and stoic bodyguards were littered around the corridors in their black suits. The Raven Logo of Knight Empires was embroidered on their suit’s jacket exquisitely.
Xiao Zhi Ren’s people weren’t allowed inside and only he was led inside courteously. All the while, his fists were clenched tightly. Ru didn’t realize the effect of her simple words on Xiao Zhi Ren at all. Her plain words, ’For the rest of the time, he’s mine to keep.’ were interpreted in a very different way by Xiao Zhi Ren. Something along the lines of... ’We’ll have the rest of the night to catch up on what we missed.’ Now that could be anything behind closed doors, who would know?
Just the reminder of her words made his blood boil in rage. Exactly how late was he in claiming her as his own? He couldn’t take this defeat!
The bodyguards at the door opened it wide and gestured for Xiao Zhi Ren to walk inside. With a deep breath and a heavy heart, Xiao Zhi Ren stepped inside.
The room was dimly lit. And only a single person was seated in a far corner with the sound of Mahjong tiles changing in the background. More precisely, it was the darkest corner. The man was dressed exquisitely in a pair of navy blue jeans along with a button-down shirt in the same color. There was a black blazer over it while the sleeves were creased up to his elbows.
His legs were crossed and Xiao Zhi Ren could see his pair of classy loafers. His posture was immaculate and one of supremacy. But the one thing he couldn’t see clearly was the person’s face. He could make out the outline of glasses and even could see a pair of ocean blue eyes. But the rest was concealed in the darkness of the room.
"You can take a seat whenever you are ready, Zoran Xiao." That deep voice startled Xiao Zhi Ren for a second and he took a seat opposite of him.
Xiao Zhi Ren had actually didn’t expect to see Alev Knight since the man was mysterious and had many enemies. He would never show his face so casually to anyone. Therefore, he didn’t find it odd at all.
From the moment he walked inside, Xiao Zhi Ren could feel a pair of hawk-like eyes following his movements. It really made him nervous for some odd reason and seeing his flustered state, Ru gave a subtle smile of amusement.
’WoW! Our Zhi Hyung actually is nervous? But he never does that before Xie Rong. Why is Alev Knight so different?’ She wondered while taking a small sip of her milk tea. ’Could you please stop talking about yourself like a third person?’ Her conscious was at it again but Ru had no mood to get lost in banter with her.
"Cat got your tongue?" After a prolonged silence, Ru had to break it in some way.
"No. It’s just that it feels unrealistic that I’m actually meeting you in person." Xiao Zhi Ren answered while picking up a glass of water since his throat was dry and itchy now.
"Alright. Take your time to calm down. Then you can tell me why you asked to meet me." Ru decided to go easy on him. After all, it was her sworn brother. But that doesn’t count, you are a girl. Her conscious reminded her. ’Just shut the hell up!’ Ru snapped back.
At first, she had planned on telling him that she was Alev Knight herself but there were a lot of risks involved. A slight mistake could put his life in danger and she wasn’t inclined to that. If possible she would never want him to know that she was Alev Knight. She trusted him but her trust in the world had been gone for a long time now.
She had deliberately dressed differently than she usually did. She even had to change the texture of her voice again. But that wasn’t a big deal, she was the person who could change her voice to sound like anyone. She found it a hassle though since even she couldn’t tell what she actually sounded like. She even had to change her contact lenses for his sake.
There was no place for even slight slips.
