His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Chapter 184 - NOT IN DEMAND

Zhong Feng did not respond to the words. Instead, he looked at her and then hugged her tightly against his body, as if he wished to merge her with himself. Hu Lei did not feel bad about the lack of response. She understood that both of them had their worries and insecurities.

She just smiled as she took in his scent. Nothing else mattered except that they were together. And they were happy. Tomorrow's problems would worry for themselves.

After a long moment, she spoke again, "Ah-Feng, I just remembered that I am covered in germs."

She had been in a lot of places since morning. She was already feeling filthy because she could imagine the layers of contaminants on her. Zhong Feng did not respond. He clutched her tighter as if she was going to escape.

"You can hug me later as much as you want," her voice had muffled laughter. "Even without clothes."

Her enticing words seemed to reach Zhong Feng, who released and looked at her flatly. Her attempts at seduction were only getting worse by the minute. Seduction was supposed to be subtle. She might as well hire a plane for skywriting.

However, this style was also quite cute.

"Let me show you the way to the shower." He kissed her forehead and guided her to a discrete door on the left side of the office.

Hu Lei was surprised when she saw that the room was a complete bedroom suite. The room was spacious with a large bed at the centre. Though it was not specially designed, it had a minimalist elegance. There was even a closet in the space.

Seeing the curious eyes looking around the room, Zhong Feng's eyes softened even more.

"It's an area for sleeping in case I am very busy in the office, or it's too late." There was a time he had more or less lived in the office. But that time was over. Since he had someone waiting for him, he would be a fool to stay in this cold place.

"How can you sleep here? What if a flower thief comes? I am sure that there are a lot of ravenous wolves in this building waiting to pounce." Hu Lei said with horror.

Zhong Feng knocked on her head softly, seeing her foolish behaviour. She turned to him with large aggrieved eyes.

"I am not as in demand as you might assume." He laughed while rubbing her small head soothingly.

There was a look of disbelief on Hu Lei's face when she realised that he was not joking. It seemed that he really believed what he was saying.

"Lower your head." She beckoned to him with her index finger. He was confused, but he did it. As soon as his head was closer, she knocked on it as he had on hers earlier. "Peh, how can you not notice how some people want to devour you and not even leave bones? How am I supposed to be at peace if you cannot defend your beauty?"

She looked at him with endless worry in her eyes, like a wife with a foolish husband. If this man did not know when people were lusting after him, how could he defend himself? He will definitely be stolen. 'My hair is going to turn grey at this rate.' The wife thought to herself.

Seeing the concern and apprehension in his eyes, the foolish husband thought that his little wife might be a little crazy. However, he had already married her, what could he do. "Go take your shower. I will order some clothes for you."

Downstairs, a woman in a flaming red business suit faced the team of front desk receptionists. She was not an unfamiliar face in the building. However, she was transferred from the Zhong Industries headquarters, but no one really knew where she went.

"Miss Lu, I did not know that you were coming by today. What are you up to these days?" One of the three asked with a pleasant smile.

This person seemed friendly, but there were thorns in her words. The casual disregard could be attributed to the rumours which circulated in the office. Apparently, this woman had been chased out in disgrace because of some inappropriate behaviour.

"I am now the manager of the southern construction project for the new resort. I am here to report some urgent matters." She declared with pride. How could a mere receptionist even dare to look down at her?

The three people looked at her with surprise and suspicion. Why did all this seem a little familiar? Was it déjà vu? No, that's not right. Three people could not have this type of experience together.

"Did you say that you are coming to report about the southern construction project?" The same woman asked.

"Some problems have arisen, so we cannot afford delays." The response was full of warning and a lot of annoyance.

The three people looked at each other in confusion. This speech was almost similar to the one San Shi had given when she had gone up, not too long ago. Therefore, one of the two women was lying. They felt cold sweat cover their bodies.

"Can we see your company ID?" The other woman asked.

Miss Lu proudly took out the ID from her equally flaming red bag. Even though she was disgruntled that she was no longer recognised without formal identification, she could at least shove the document in their faces.

With this, the three realised that they had been cheated by San Shi. However, they did not panic.

"Do you have a subordinate known as San Shi?"

Miss Lu frowned as she realised the implications. "I have never heard of such a person. Could it be that someone has entered while claiming to be from my project? How can you be so careless? Didn't you verify their identification?"

Her shrew-like voice seemed to cut through their brains like a chainsaw. Even if they had messed up, she did not have the authority to lecture them.

"Please focus on your job, Miss Lu. You can go ahead and make your report." The tone was cold.

Unfortunately, there was nothing that she could do except go ahead. However, she felt that this also presented her with an opportunity. Her red lips lifted upwards as she thought about that handsome man. She had fallen for him since the day he had come into Zhong Industries to take over.

She had sworn that he would fall in love with her. As a beautiful woman, she did not believe that there was a man who could resist her charms, just ones who were a little more stubborn. Moreover, she liked a challenge.
