His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Chapter 26 - IS THE EVIL EMPEROR UNHAPPY?

"You have deeply rooted control issues, Mr Zhong Feng." Hu Lei declared.

She spoke while pointing repeatedly at the man seated opposite her with her chopsticks. Her small face was no longer pale and sickly. In fact, her cheeks looked flushed, complementing her shiny plumb lips. She pouted deeper as she poked the food on her plate.

"Is that so?" the man asked with a bemused expression.

"Of course! You are like an ancient emperor, looking down on your subjects."

She took a small sip from yet another glass of her delicious drink. Then, she cleared her throat. Zhong Feng watched with a lifted eyebrow.

"Zhen is not pleased with you useless insects. Someone come and whip these idiots to death for Zhen." Her impression was quite poor, especially with that adorable red face.

Zhong Feng did not respond. But his lips stretched into a wide smile while he looked at her. The weight that had been weighing in his heart in relation to his little interpreter felt lighter. He felt that he was seeing a real part of her for the first time. Though she always seemed to be an open book, he had been feeling that it was a carefully constructed façade.

Now, seeing her speaking unflattering things in his face, the relief was immeasurable.

"You should eat a little more." He tried to speak gently, but he felt awkward.

Those were words he had never spoken before. His concern was genuine. She had only eaten a small portion of her food; a few mouthfuls of vegetables, a few pieces of meat and just a little rice. Unfortunately, she also seemed to have filled the rest of her stomach space with cocktails.

He had wanted to stop her from ordering the alcoholic beverages, but he could not bring himself to do so. Her face looked bright as she savoured their taste. On the contrary, when she ate, she seemed to grudgingly place food in her mouth before chewing and swallowing quickly.

He let out a deep uncontrollable sigh as he considered the dilemma.

"Oh, is the evil emperor unhappy?" she giggled.

Pushing her food away, she leaned closer across the table.

"You know sighing gets rid of happiness. You will be sad if you keep sighing like that. You won't even find a girlfriend." Her voice was filled with a touch of wisdom.

Again, he did not respond to her childish provocations.

"Are you angry? Don't worry. If you feel that you can't find anyone, I will be your girlfriend."

Finally, he could not bear to keep his silence anymore.

"Why should I accept you as my girlfriend?" His deep voice to caress the girl, and it made her sink deeper into her intoxication.

"Humph! You would be lucky to have me as your better half. I am incredibly cute with a huge rack. I have an incredibly high IQ. I can take care of you when you are sick." Her voice lowered into a conspiratorial whisper. "And I have never had a boyfriend so I would be completely yours."

She was satisfied with her presentation and nodded smugly while settling back into her seat and picking up her glass once again.

For the first time since he was a child, Zhong Feng wanted to break into loud laughter. How could there be anyone this shameless yet oh-so completely adorable? It seemed that he had reaped great rewards from this trip.

"You have convinced me. You can be my girlfriend." His eyes glinted with evil intent.

Hu Lei observed him with an arrogant gaze.

"You think that would work on me? You are a hundred years too early to outsmart me. If you want me to be your girlfriend, you must show some sincerity. As an evil emperor, you must understand that the expectations are quite high.

You will need to give me some treasures, feed me with irresistible cuisine, dismiss your harem and entertain me. A cultivation manual would also not be bad." She laid out her conditions while counting with her fingers.

Zhong Feng felt that this girl was even more interesting and cute when she laid out her conditions. What went on in that little head with the self-proclaimed high IQ?

"Very well." He responded with a smile.

Hu Lei looked at his face and determined that he looked sincere enough. She nodded in satisfaction.
