His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Chapter 35 - A CURE FOR A CHRONIC DISEASE

After the meal with Vladimir, Hu Lei felt much better. Of course, that did not mean that she trusted him. Anyone who had met him could tell that he was not a good person. Though he seemed outwardly like a misunderstood man with a mean-looking face, she knew better. His true nature was that of a cold-hearted villain.

However, she knew him and understood him. After all, they were somehow cut from the same cloth. So, she was clear on the fact that he would not be doing anything untoward in Supreme City, at least, for the time being. In addition, there was honour among villains. If he decided to make a move, he would most likely inform her.

Naturally, she was not going to only rely on his honour to keep her new life perfect. She intended to keep an eye on him. As long as he did not do anything that compromised her, she did not care. She would not obsess about unrelated activities. If she began worrying about things like Vladimir's dealings, she would go back to that life when she had to live like a soldier.

Right now, the only issues she wanted to worry about was the best dress for the evening gala and how to spend the weekend. Anything else that did not have to do with her immediate happiness was white noise.

When they returned to the office in the afternoon, she felt that her heart was lighter. The contract signing business went ahead without a hitch, and Hu Lei finally exhaled. The entire week, she had been waiting for something to go wrong. Of course, that had happened in the morning when a bug named Vlad had appeared in her perfect working system. Now, that the Russian contract was concluded, she felt like a burden had been lifted.

With a huge smile on her face, she stood beside Zhong Feng and sent off the Novia Corporation people. Seeing them go felt like getting a cure for a chronic disease. She could feel pep returning to her step as she followed Zhong Feng back to his office.

"So Mr Romanov is an old acquaintance?" the beautiful man asked as soon as they were in his office his cold eyes resting on a certain cute kitten.

Zhong Feng had felt irritated since the Russian had spoken those words. However, he had not been able to vent because she had been taken away. He could not help feeling a thread of anger when he saw the two returned acting all chummy. Also, this girl was only twenty two. How could she have 'old acquaintances'?

Hu Lei, who had already plopped down on his comfy sofa, froze at the question. She knew that he would not forget anything, but she did not expect that he would be so direct. Of course, she could say none of your business. However, she did not want to be like that with her big boss.

She laughed awkwardly, "I worked for him for a short period in Russia when I was younger. Our business relationship did not end well, so there was a little tension."

"I did not see his name or his company listed on your CV." The evil emperor let out a cold pressure, as if he wanted someone flogged to death.

The little subject, Hu Lei, could only curse that b*stard for opening a dangerous can of worms. The work she had done for Vlad the Impaler was the kind that could not be mentioned, let alone written. Even if it could be mentioned, she did not want her emperor to see her like that.

"I could not include anyone who would give me a bad review. You know how much I wanted to work closely with you." She flattered him shamelessly.

Zhong Feng, who did not forget anything, looked at her bright little face staring right at him. His face darkened at her shameless attempts to change the topic. He did not want to force her to speak about it if she did not want to, especially because he had looked into Romanov's past. However, this did not mean that he would let her off.

"What I remember is a person who had not desire to be here. Who is it that said that they did not have enough time?" He spoke with that non-smile that Hu Lei liked and feared.

Big boss, can't you be merciful to your subjects? When I flatter you, you are supposed to forget all my wrong doings, not recall what happened at the beginning of time. Hu Lei could only cry invisible tears in her heart.

"If you have any non-business connection with our new partner, confess and shut it down." The man continued leaving no opening for refusal. Of course, he wanted to say that she must never have any contact with that despicable person. Fortunately, he still had his wits around him.

Being stared down by the powerful man, the small kitten Lei did not know what to do. In what world would she want to be even remotely connected in any way to that horrible and unappealing man? If it was not her constant bad luck since she was born, would she have met him?

"Do not worry, big boss. He is more likely to be interested in you than in me." She spoke carelessly while her mind was lost in the contemplation of her bad luck.

"Say that again!" a cold voice brought her back to reality.

She felt a deep trepidation, cursed her stupid mouth and covered her head with her hands pitifully when she realised what she had said without speaking. Someone save me before my life ends! The emperor has gone mad with anger.

"How could I have said anything? Obviously my mouth was closed." She spoke out loudly.

When everything else failed, denial was the route to go. She would never admit the words which were spoken even if the world ended.
