His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Chapter 180 - A BIG COWARD

The four people continued chatting happily, and Lan Jie could not be happier about it. When she had been told that the author would be part of the promotion, she had been a little apprehensive. Unfortunately, she could not refuse because the orders came from above.

She had thought that the unknown author would be introverted or had a face meant only for radio. It was not that she discriminated against the facially challenged. However, she had been in the entertainment industry for too long to delude herself that people would like someone for their good heart.

The entertainment industry lived by the rule of beauty. Of course, a few unattractive people had made it in the industry based on their talent alone. But the journey was always hard. Moreover, it was hard for them to find a good role because most movies and even TV shows prioritised good looks.

When she had discovered that Hu Lei was cute and outwardly lovable, a new worry had a risen in her heart. Celebrities, especially pretty and famous ones like Wang Yue, did not like competition. With her experience, she could sniff out problems like a bloodhound.

It was clear that Bei Gong Hai had some interest towards Hu Lei. However, Wang Yue had been slowly marking her territory around him for a while. It was a disaster in the making. As a professional, she did not care what happened in the messy lives of idols. As long these people got along well enough outwardly, she did not care.

She only hoped that the harmony would remain.

"Let's do a live stream on my channel." Wang Yue suggested suddenly.

Hu Lei had never done such a thing in her life, but she was not opposed. It was the perfect chance to get a little more worldly experience. It seemed like it would be fun. The two guys naturally had no opposition. She took out her phone and opened her app.

"Hey guys, are you having fun today? You can't possibly be having more fun than me." Wang Yue spoke smoothly and naturally. Hu Lei looked at the scene with interest. She felt like she could never do it with so much grace.

"Today, I am heading out to Central Stadium where numerous campuses around the country are holding the inter-campus drama festival. I am with the wonderful people who will be bringing The Queen of the Apocalypse to you in just three short weeks. I cannot spoil it for you, but it is going to be amazing."

"The most important person with me is the author of the original work on which the movie is based, Little Ninja Cat herself." Wang Yue turned her camera to Hu Lei. Hu Lei smiled and waved at the camera without awkwardness.

"Isn't she the cutest? Yes, it is as you see it. Her eyes are yellow like a cat's. Personally, I could never wear contacts because I am a big coward. But she is totally working the look, isn't she? This sows commitment people! We will be together for most of the week, so come by, and say hi."

Hu Lei narrowed her eyes slightly, but she did not have any other reaction. Her face remained pleasant and lively. Wang Yue turned the other two celebrities and then to the rest of the bus before mentioning their destination once again. She closed the stream.

Bei Gong Hai looked at Hu Lei to see if she was bothered by the words spoken by Wang Yue. However, there was nothing unusual about her expression. Unless she was a really good actor, it seemed that she did not notice anything.

"You should not talk about people's body parts so freely, Yue." Dai Li said without any prelude.

Bei Gong Hai wanted to hit the man because he had now drawn attention to the problem with the entire chat. Now, Hu Lei would discover what she had missed. Unfortunately, Dai Li's personality was like that. He did not hold things inside.

"Oh, I am sorry. I didn't know Hu Lei would be sensitive about it. I didn't mean to offend you." She looked apologetically at the smaller woman.

The rest of the people heard this conversation and looked at Hu Lei with a bit of disdain. They were all thinking that the goddess had not done anything wrong. If she was sensitive about her yellow eyes, why would she wear such conspicuous contacts? She was obviously looking for attention. Why would she complain when she got it?

Hu Lei could feel the contemptuous gazes on her body. However, she did not pay mind them. It was not like they could stab her with their lacklustre eyes.

"You are thinking too much. I love these yellow eyes. They were a special gift from my father." She leaned forward and looked at Wang Yue directly and released a sliver of cold killing intent. Her glowing eyes were reminiscent of a jaguar, hunting in the dark jungle.

Wang Yue might have come from the countryside, but she was well-protected from childhood. Therefore, when facing a dangerous creature like Hu Lei, she felt her body lose strength. Her skin was covered in cold sweat, and her heart beat out of her chest. She backed away from Hu Lei and accidentally fell off the couch.

Everyone gasped and there were even a few shrieks at the incident. The goddess had fallen off the seat and onto the floor without provocation. They could not figure out what was happening, especially when she remained on the floor in a dazed manner.

"Wang Yue, are you okay?" Hu Lei asked in concern and stood up to approach her.

The actress was still terrified because she had felt like she was been about to be torn apart by wild animals. Therefore, when she saw Hu Lei approaching with her yellow orbs, she backed away while still on the floor.

"You really weren't kidding when you said that you were a big coward, were you?" Hu Lei said with a cold laugh, looking down at Wang Yue, like a queen staring at a dead zombie. The bus was quiet completely and tension could not be thicker. It almost seemed like a war cry would sound at any second, and blood would flood the bus.

"Hahahaha, I really wasn't expecting you to dramatize it so well." Hu Lei suddenly smiled cutely at Wang Yue and clapped, as if the aura of the empress had not come from her. She was once again the lovable Little Ninja Cat.

There were sighs of relief in the vehicle as people 'realised' that Wang Yue was acting out cowardice. They joined Hu Lei's clapping as Wang Yue finally found the strength to stand up. She looked at Hu Lei and found her lively face looking at her with innocence and even a hint of praise.

Had she imagined it all?
