His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Chapter 169 - SUBTLE SYNCHRONICITY

When morning came, Hu Lei did not waste time. She had a long day ahead, and she felt that she needed to keep her energy up by moving around. Otherwise, she might just fall asleep while standing. She took a quick shower and wore a light blue sheath dress. She could not help admiring herself with a satisfied smile.

Once she felt that she looked perfect, she went downstairs to prepare breakfast. She was not anything close to a divine chef yet, but she could at least make Zhong Feng's breakfast. She poached some eggs and made some sausages and bacon. She sighed unhappily.

She needed to learn how to make a healthy breakfast because eating this type of food could be dangerous, even for a fit person like Zhong Feng. When she had finished preparing tea, Zhong Feng appeared. She felt satisfied with her timing.

Zhong Feng looked at the girl who was almost completely concealed in his plain black apron. She had tied up a little knot around her neck to lift the apron, but it still made her look a little ridiculous. Still, this beautiful image filled him with warmth. It felt like home.

"Come and have your breakfast." She said as she placed a plate at his usual spot.

Zhong would never have eaten in the kitchen in the past. However, when he was with Hu Lei, he liked the cosy atmosphere which was created in this small space. He approached her and leaned over her domineeringly.

"I warn you not to mess with my hard work." She pulled her head away from him in fear.

She had used a lot of effort to coif her long hair and put on natural makeup. It was harder than it looked in DIY tutorials. If the rogue played around, he would definitely compromise her wonderful results. Unfortunately, her glare was not powerful enough.

Zhong Feng placed his arms around her waist and kissed her pink lips lightly. Her lips tasted sweet like strawberries. His kiss became more insistent, and he pulled her even closer. In the long run, she could only surrender to the attack.

After a while, he let her go, but his eyes had a certain seductive look. Hu Lei pushed him forcefully to his stool. She sighed in relief as she looked at her image on the reflective black panels of the refrigerator. Her face had a deep blush, but her hair was safe.

She took off the apron and sat down beside Zhong Feng.

"You should not eat cold fruits in the morning." Zhong Feng commented on her bowl of fruit salad.

"That is why I have my mug of ginger tea to counter the cold." She responded smugly.

"You have to eat a little more protein." He cut off a piece of the poached egg and brought the fork close to her mouth.

Hu Lei looked at the egg and felt nauseous when she imagined it going down her throat. It was not that she was allergic. She just did not like eggs. She made a face and turned her head. She could not help it. Zhong Feng sighed.

"I will have a little sausage." She felt a little guilty.

Zhong Feng wanted to make a joke, but he held back. Instead, he cut a piece of the sausage and brought it to her mouth. She opened her mouth and accepted it. He placed piece after piece, feeding her with a pleased look in his eyes. Hu Lei did not love sausages. However, she was being fed so dotingly, so the food tasted so much better.

"You are going to the publishing company today?" Zhong Feng asked as they drank tea.

"Yeah, Bo Qian wanted to discuss the performance of those two books. I also have to attend a meeting on the tour with the TQA cast and crew." She explained.

Zhong Feng nodded.

"If there is a problem, call me immediately."

"How could anyone bully me?" She stuck out her tongue at him.

"Alright, my wife is tough and mean." His lips stretched into a comfortable and teasing smile.

"I almost forgot. Do you need to use your vehicle? I can call a car service." Hu Lei had been using his usual vehicle because it was the only one at the apartment.

"Your husband can at least afford a few vehicles. Don't worry. Assistant Zhe has already picked out another vehicle for me." He was not crazy about buying expensive vehicles since he preferred a minimalist lifestyle. However, he still had a couple of suitable cars in his garage at the villa.

"By the way, where is Chen Li?"

Something flickered in Zhong Feng's eyes, but he immediately concealed it. Chen Li was his most trusted aide, and he had entrusted to him a critical mission. However, it was not the time to tell Hu Lei about it, especially when she was preparing for important work.

"He is doing something for me abroad. I came back a little earlier than planned." He explained.

"You know, you should release him as your assistant. With his capabilities, he should be able to even take up a position as a CEO." Hu Lei commented while thinking about the ever professional man who was always at Ah-Feng's side.

She felt like he had earned his freedom. It could not be easy serving the evil emperor. Of course, she would not say this out aloud because she could not bear the punishment that would come afterwards. Well, she could bear it, but there was no time.

"Mmmh, my wife is right. Don't worry. I have some plans in place for him." He would not treat his most faithful aide poorly. Plus, he had found Hu Lei and taken control of Zhong Industries. It was time Chen Li spread his wings.

The couple left the house together, looking glamorous and refined. It was a beautiful image to behold because there was a subtle synchronicity in their dressing. Though Zhong Feng wore his usual black suit, his light blue shirt matched Hu Lei's dress perfectly. Moreover, Hu Lei was wearing black stilettos and carrying a black bag.

When they reached basement parking, Zhong Feng could not resist taking a bite of those luscious lips once again. He nibbled on them lightly causing them to turn into a deeper colour. Hu Lei was carried along in the wave of pleasure that she almost forgot about work.

However, they had to still separate. Even though Sonata Publishing was under Zhong Industries, the operation was not based in the headquarters. With one more kiss, they walked to their vehicles where their assistants were waiting.

"Your lips look a little bruised." Beatrice commented with a grin as she drove out of the parking lot.

"I accidentally bit them." Hu Lei lied unconvincingly.

Beatrice looked at her with a knowing smile before waggling her eyebrows.

"Shut up." Hu Lei succumbed to the embarrassment.
