His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Chapter 123 - SHE WAS A BAD INFLUENCE

When Zhong Feng opened the door to the private room, his face darkened. He glanced at Chen Li in question, but the man did not respond. What could he say to defend himself? He was no match for the little lady boss. And Zhong Feng had been clear that he was not to interfere with her life. He was only supposed to eliminate obstacles while allowing her to do as she pleased.

It was not his fault that the night had escalated. The evening had started without incident. He had not been concerned about anything, except for Hu Lei's teasing behaviour. How could he have guessed that the night would turn into a scene from a mafia movie?

Zhong Feng turned his eyes back to the room. In one corner, there were three men standing with bruises, looking chastised. He could guess the general occurrence of events which had led to their condition. They lifted their heads to look at him before looking down again.

At the table, their torturers were laughing in a conspiratorial manner. The scene was a little comical, but Zhong Feng was not laughing. He stood there silently until a certain cute, flushed woman looked up. She seemed confused for a moment before her face brightened up.

She hopped up from her seat, causing the three men in the corner to flinch. However, she did not approach them. She instead threw herself at the handsome man. She embraced him enthusiastically, putting her tough but fragile-looking arms around his waist and pressing her face against him.

Song Yin assumed that her new found friend had gone mad after seeing the handsome man. Would that not negate everything that they had just taught the errant young masters?

She shook her head in dismay at the enigma before her. She could not help feeling that Hu Lei was quite unstable and unpredictable. But there was also an innocence that seemed to pierce through her madness and drawn in people.

When she was about to apologise to the godly man and drag Hu Lei back, she noticed a subtle softening of the peerless face. Then, the man put arms around her small frame, holding her closer.

"The emperor…" Song Yin whispered to herself, remembering the words Hu Lei had spoken earlier.

Zhong Feng looked at the Song Yin when she spoke. He did not have positive feelings towards this woman. Chen Li had reported to him some of the events of the night, so he had an understanding of the happenings, even if the messages were not explicit.

He felt that this woman was a bad influence on his wife, an enabler. However, he felt relieved that Hu Lei had had a fun evening out and even made a friend. It was good that she was finally getting used to life in Supreme City.

"Ah-Feng, I did not know you were coming." Hu Lei finally released him from her tight grip.

Zhong Feng looked at her bright face and glowing eyes and that impulse to hide her away from the world became overwhelming. She had a face that made one want to steal and keep her if only to rub her plump cheeks for good luck.

"I decided to pick you up on my way home." He said with a small casual smile.

Assistant Chen who was standing outside felt his lips twitch uncontrollably. Zhong Feng had obviously been busy and had rushed his work in order to come and stop any shenanigans. But when he explained it, it had become a convenient move. Unfortunately, he could not speak of such matters.

"It's good that you are here." Hu Lei did not notice anything unusual in her state.

"Who are your friends?" He asked, though he already knew.

"Oh, she is Song Yin, my favourite author. I met her earlier at the writers' meet." She looked at the three young men and tilted her head in puzzlement before continuing. "And these are young masters One, Two and Three. We were discussing the beautiful values of a morally upright life."

The young men looked like they would cry. They felt deep regret for underestimating the cruelty of the little woman. If they had known anything, they would not have come into the room even if they had a lion's guts.

The woman did not seem to care about their names and the status of their families. In fact, she had warned them against using their families for accomplishing evil. Now, it seemed that she had not even been listening to their names.

"I am glad that you had fun. Are you ready to go home?" He asked, no paying any attention to the other people.

Hu Lei nodded automatically. She had had enough entertainment.

"Sister Yin, do you have a way to go home? You can't possibly drive." She spoke in concern.

Song Yin had become a little dazed by everything happening around her. Somehow, everything seemed surreal, so it took a moment for the words to register.

"I will get a rental vehicle from the resort." She finally said.

Zhong Feng frowned and waved Assistant Chen in.

"Chen Li, you will drive Miss Song home." He said.

From an outsider's perspective, it might seem like he was being kind. However, Assistant Chen understood the implications of the order.

Hu Lei, though she was a tough woman, could be considered naïve in regards to life in Supreme City. There were a lot of unscrupulous and treacherous people hiding in plain sight and behind beautiful smiles. If Song Yin did not have pure motives, she could cause harm to her.

Naturally, Zhong Feng would not allow anything to endanger her life or happiness. Therefore, if this Song Yin had bad intentions, they needed to be nipped off at the bud.

Chen Li nodded curtly.

Hu Lei looked relieved and smiled in satisfaction.

"Sister Yin, little Chen will ensure that you get home safely. I hope we can have another fun outing like this one." She had really enjoyed their time together.

"We will make plans later. Don't forget to accept my invitation to the group." Song Yin added.

Hu Lei nodded.

"One, Two, Three, I hope you will not have forgotten the lessons when we meet again." Hu Lei added.

The three young men immediately felt a chill run down their backs. They nodded nervously, afraid that they would set off the demon by talking. They could not afford to be crippled permanently, and they did not doubt that she would if she wanted.

Hu Lei nodded in approval before looking at Zhong Feng.

"Let's go home."
