Unrivaled Soldier in the City

Chapter 650: Chapter 650: Eagle Sect Woman

Lin Kuang drove home to find the house empty. Liu Shilin and the others had all gone to work, and Mu Wan wasn’t home either; she had apparently gone with them.

With nothing to do, Lin Kuang thought for a moment before deciding to drive to the Eagle Corporation, the headquarters of the Eagle Sect. He hadn’t been there in a long time and wanted to check in. He hadn’t informed Zhang Lianmei of his visit, hoping to give her a little surprise. After getting out of his car, Lin Kuang walked straight inside. The Eagle Sect members serving as security guards naturally recognized him and wouldn’t dare to stop him, so they let him pass immediately. He took the elevator all the way to the top floor, where more Eagle Sect members stood guard at the landing. Upon seeing Lin Kuang, they all bowed deeply. Before they could speak, he simply smiled and waved them off as he approached Zhang Lianmei’s office door.

KNOCK. KNOCK. KNOCK.

"Come in," a cool voice belonging to Zhang Lianmei called from within the room.

Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Kuang couldn’t help but smile as he pushed open the door and stepped inside.

Zhang Lianmei was wearing a light pink cheongsam embroidered with various intricate patterns. She stood with her back to him, and even from this angle, Lin Kuang was captivated by her stunning figure, which the garment showcased flawlessly.

He also had to admire the ancient design of the cheongsam. It perfectly suited Eastern women, showcasing their beauty to the absolute extreme! Even with all the new clothing from various designers today, in his view, none could display a woman’s beauty as vividly as a classic cheongsam. Every woman should wear one at least once. She would find that the person in the mirror was absolutely different from her usual self. freeweɓnovel.cøm

Zhang Lianmei stood by the window, her beautiful eyes quietly watching the bustling traffic below. Yet, there was no hint of happiness in her gaze; she seemed to be lost in yearning.

"Lianmei, you look truly beautiful in that cheongsam," Lin Kuang said with a smile, walking to her side.

Hearing his voice, Zhang Lianmei trembled. She turned her head, hardly daring to believe it. Instantly, the face she dreamed of day and night was right before her eyes, and a thrill shot through her.

"Lin... Lin Kuang! Why are you here? When did you get back?" she stammered. Seeing him smiling at her, Zhang Lianmei’s heart fluttered with a mix of nervousness, shyness, and above all, pure excitement.

"I’ve been back for a few days," he teased, taking in her mature, charming face. "I happened to have some free time today, so I came to see you. You’re not going to tell me I’m unwelcome, are you?"

"No, no, of course not! Welcome, you’re very welcome!" Zhang Lianmei said, her happiness palpable. The excitement in her voice was impossible to hide.

"That’s good to hear," Lin Kuang said with a smile. "How have things been? Everything going smoothly?"

"Yes, it’s been very peaceful," she replied, also smiling. "After all, nearly everyone in East Sea is on our side. No one dares to make a move on the Eagle Sect."

"I’m glad there have been no issues. And you? Are you alright? You seemed a bit distracted just now," Lin Kuang pressed gently.

"Ah! N-no, I just... I was just lost in thought for a moment," she stammered, her charming face flushing a deep crimson. Her sudden tension was palpable.

"Really?" Lin Kuang said with a light laugh. "I didn’t come for any particular reason, just to see you and check on the Eagle Sect. Since everything is fine, I can rest easy."

"Oh... well, there’s nothing going on here. If you have other things to do, you should go get them done," Zhang Lianmei said, her expression becoming a little unnatural.

Seeing her reaction, Lin Kuang smiled helplessly. "Are you really not going to tell me what’s on your mind?" freewebnovёl.ƈom

As he spoke, he reached out, wrapped an arm around her slender waist, and gently pulled her into his embrace.

Zhang Lianmei’s body trembled violently. This sudden bliss was overwhelming. More than emotional, she was in utter disbelief that Lin Kuang would treat her this way.

"Why so nervous?" he asked with a soft laugh.

"I’m... I’m not," she protested nervously, mustering the courage to rest her head on his shoulder.

This was all she had ever wanted, something she had only dared to dream about, and now it was actually happening!

Looking at the woman beside him, Lin Kuang felt a pang of guilt.

In the past, he had admittedly just been using her. He used Zhang Lianmei to control the Eagle Sect, leveraging his control over her to command that power. But she had given her all to help him, fighting against all his enemies. How could he not have seen it? He had understood back then that she had feelings for him. She never confessed or fought for his affection because she was ashamed that she wasn’t a virgin. At the time, Lin Kuang had felt it wasn’t necessary to be with her; or rather, he held a certain prejudice in his heart. But now, he finally understood. What did something like that even matter? A woman had given so much for him, and he was going to reject her just because of her past? How cruel was that? And could he truly live with himself if he did? After thinking it through, he realized how wrong he had been, and the prejudice in his heart finally vanished. That was why he had come today. He wanted to tell Zhang Lianmei that he had feelings for her, too.

"Lianmei, are you ready to tell me now?" Lin Kuang asked with a knowing smile.

Zhang Lianmei wasn’t a fool. She immediately understood that he was accepting her, and a wave of exhilaration washed over her.

"I... I will. I... I... I like you!" she finally said, mustering all her courage. At that moment, she was like a young girl confessing her love for the first time, her heart pounding with nervousness and excitement, but most of all, with anticipation for his reply.

Hearing her confession, Lin Kuang smiled gently. "I like you, too."

Zhang Lianmei froze, completely stunned. Though she had hoped he might say it, hearing the words spoken aloud filled her with an indescribable excitement. Dazed, she said nothing more, simply leaning against him and quietly savoring the answer she had waited so long to hear.

"How about a drink?" Lin Kuang asked, glancing at the wine glasses on a nearby table.

"Okay," she replied quickly, stepping out of his embrace. "I’ll get the wine."
