Chapter 503: Chapter 500: Miss Can Be Considerate?

Mrs. Xiao did not show the same urgency and anger as Miss Xiao, but instead spoke with a kind smile, "Lin Tian, did you receive a message and rush over by plane late at night? However, your outfit is indeed a bit unorthodox."

She spoke euphemistically, but her meaning was clear: she wanted Lin Tian to provide an explanation.

He and Xiao Manxuan, a man and a woman, on their own in a foreign land with dirty clothes, would certainly appear abnormal to anyone who saw them.

"Mrs. Xiao is only half right, but the situation isn’t quite what you imagine. The main reason is that tonight’s task was very urgent, so I took the liberty of leaving the country overnight without having time to inform Mrs. Xiao and Miss Xiao," Lin Tian explained.

Mrs. Xiao’s tone was much warmer, and Lin Tian felt it would not be right to respond too coldly, especially since Miss Xiao seemed a bit odd. Despite their pleasurable spiritual exchange from last night’s kiss, she had reverted to her cold and stoic CEO demeanor. It seemed that changing this woman was not going to be easy.

Miss Xiao had no idea what was going through Lin Tian’s mind. Otherwise, given her personality, she would have definitely chased after Lin Tian with a kitchen knife.

It wasn’t that she really wanted to be angry with Lin Tian, but her words were heavy due to her worry and concern.

"What exactly is this ’urgent task’ you speak of? Could it be that you arrived in Japan early?" Miss Xiao, with her sharp mind, immediately caught onto the key point in Lin Tian’s words and couldn’t help but ask.

"Manxue, Lin Tian has also been tired all night. Let’s talk about any issues tomorrow. Besides, Xuanxuan is sleeping on the sofa; if she catches a cold, it would be bad," Mrs. Xiao said, stopping Miss Xiao from asking further.

Her consideration was indeed thorough, and Lin Tian couldn’t help but praise her. Being a zombie, he naturally wouldn’t be tired from a bit of combat, but with dust and Gu medicine on his body, he felt extremely uncomfortable and was eager to find a room to take a shower.

Mrs. Xiao’s words were exactly what he wished for, and Lin Tian was nearly ready to go up and give her a hug and a kiss.

Knowing she hadn’t considered everything, Miss Xiao didn’t press further. She gave Lin Tian a glance and then carried the Second Miss upstairs.

"Lin Tian, today is Saturday, and I’m here for the opening of Tianxue Jewelry. The ceremony and press conference will be held punctually at ten o’clock, and there isn’t much time left. Get some sleep early, and be sure not to tire yourself out. Oh, by the way, you can stay in any room on the second floor, and someone will bring you change of clothes later," Mrs. Xiao said with a slight smile, expressing her concern.

"Thank you for your concern, Mrs. Xiao," Lin Tian blinked and answered formally.

Mrs. Xiao nodded and turned to go upstairs. Lin Tian looked up at Mrs. Xiao’s retreating figure, tall, slim, and graceful, far surpassing the charm of young girls not even in their twenties, but it was a pity that such prime years were spent in widowhood, her beauty going unnoticed.

Years would pass, and it would seem that good times were set up in vain; even surrounded by a thousand charms, there would be no one to share them with.

Lin Tian sighed inwardly, wondering if Mrs. Xiao would have such thoughts in the quiet of the night.

If she were just an ordinary woman, she could easily remarry, but as the helmswoman of the Xiao Family, that was not an option. The Xiao Family had built her reputation as a powerful woman, but it had also become a lifelong restraint on her.

Damn, why am I even worrying about this? A bath and sleep are the priorities, Lin Tian shook his head in self-mockery and went upstairs as well.

The attendant quickly brought the clothes, complete sets of underwear and outerwear, and the size of the clothes was very fitting.

Has Mrs. Xiao been paying close attention to me to know even my clothing size? Lin Tian thought, lying in bed after his shower, his imagination running wild.

Before sleeping, he sent a message to Rossi: "You and the Ghost Team, arrive in Island Country Kyoto City by ten o’clock in the morning. There is a task."

He slept dreamlessly until the morning light shone bright. As it was the weekend, Lin Tian opened his eyes to find the sun high in the sky, the bright sunlight streaming into the room, filling the entire space.

What’s the happiest thing for a zombie? Not having to hide in dark corners, not worrying about being hunted by the Demon Exterminating Master, and being able to bask in the sun.

I seem to have forgotten something important, Lin Tian thought uncertainly while he was enthralled.

Damn, today is the day of the Tianxue Jewelry event launch, and I actually slept through it. Why didn’t the misses wake me up? Lin Tian suddenly remembered and immediately jumped out of bed to wash up.

He was a major shareholder of Tianxue Jewelry and couldn’t miss the release event.

After dressing up, Lin Tian went downstairs, only to find that the three ladies of the Xiao Family were all there.

"Mrs. Xiao, Miss, at this time, shouldn’t you have already left to get ready?" Lin Tian asked in surprise.

According to past practice, whether it was Mrs. Xiao or the Miss, they usually left home early with a tightly packed work schedule. It was rare for them to still be at home at this time.

Xiao Manxuan looked at him with a grin and said, "My sister said you went to bed late last night, so we decided to leave a bit later this morning to let you sleep in, so we didn’t wake you up."

Lin Tian gave the Miss a surprised look. This little girl actually had such a considerate side. Could it be that she was conquered by my kiss filled with romanticism?

While he was still narcissistically pondering this, the Miss gave him a severe look and snorted, "Hmph, don’t get the wrong idea. It’s the opening ceremony of Tianxue Jewelry today. I just didn’t want you, the major shareholder, to faint from lack of sleep during the event."

"Hehe, the Miss really thinks of everything. You have my utmost admiration," Lin Tian said, winking and snickering at her.

The Miss blushed, embarrassed by Lin Tian flirting with her in front of her mother and sister. Her heart skipped a few beats, like a child who had sneakily eaten candy and feared being seen and scolded by her parents.

She stealthily glanced at her mother and sister, and seeing no reaction from them, she felt a bit relieved.

All because of this jerk. If he hadn’t kissed me like that last time... Ah, it’s so embarrassing. I wouldn’t be this awkward in front of Mum. As the Miss recalled that shameful scene, her heartbeat quickened like a startled deer, and her face started to feel hot.

She sneaked a peek at Lin Tian, only to catch him seemingly staring at her lips, that tangible gaze sending her back to the sensations of yesterday, a current going straight to her heart, causing her cheeks to bloom with redness.

Jerk, big pervert, Xiao Manxue didn’t know how to handle these emotions at the moment and could only curse Lin Tian, the source of her turmoil, through gritted teeth.

"Manxue, Xiao Tian, what are you standing around for? Come over and eat breakfast," Mrs. Xiao suddenly called out.

Xiao Manxue then realized that her mother and sister had already seated themselves at the dining table. She sighed in relief once more, grateful that her flushed cheeks hadn’t been noticed by them, or else she wouldn’t know how to explain it.

She quickly adjusted her emotions, forcedly suppressing those images in her mind, and with a cold face said, "Lin Tian, hurry up, don’t delay the ceremony."

After finishing speaking, she turned her head and walked towards the dining table, but Lin Tian was full of questions. What’s going on with the Miss? Why was she blushing one moment and then stern the next? Is playing changing faces fun or something? And, that little girl just now, her lips were moving, clearly cursing someone a jerk, a big pervert. Why curse me for no reason?

It’s incomprehensible, just baffling. He had no idea what the Miss was thinking, so he could only shake his head and head to the dining table.

"Lin Tian, what mission were you on last night? There’s still time now, tell us about it," Mrs. Xiao said naturally as she saw Lin Tian sit down.
