His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Chapter 88 - DON’T YOU LIKE IT?

Zhong Feng realised that it would be difficult to complete the tour of the villa from the look on Hu Lei's face. His countenance became a little softer as he looked at her wide open twinkling eyes. Seeing the smile and glee on her face felt like the best reward he could imagine.

"You can take a shower and change your clothes. After lunch, I will show you one last place." He finally said.

Hu lei was satisfied with this plan looked like she was anxious to touch her new little beauties. She nodded before sending him out. However, once he was gone, her face became a little downcast. It was not that she was unhappy with anything.

She just felt overwhelmed by the incredible change in her life, and the warmth and security that Zhong Feng was giving her. Not long ago, she had been a prisoner. She had not thought that she would have a chance at escape from that hell. Those people would have denied her freedom even in the face of death.

After all, she was considered to be the only successful experimental subject in their eyes. It was the reason that they had kept her alive and locked up even after she became defiant following her father's death. She had vehemently refused to have another scientist 'work' on her.

When she rebelled they had decided to lock her up because they could not decide what to do with her. On one hand, she was not useful if they did not have a way to continue the experiments. It would have been better for them if they had harvested her organs for further research.

On the other hand, they could not afford to lose her because she stood between them and a shutdown by whatever organisation funded them. As long as she existed, it was enough proof that they were not doing useless work.

This awkward position allowed her to survive for so long while everyone else died. Some of the subjects did not even die due to the strain of the experiments. After all, there were expendable. Hu Lei still remembered every death she had seen down there and every horrified face that looked toward her.

While she was happy to be out of there and with Zhong Feng, their ghosts haunted her dreams. When she closed her eyes to rest, she would see a weak woman or a broken man stretching their hands towards her, begging for help. Then, they would turn into vengeful spirits, cursing her for daring to be so carefree while everyone else died.

On other occasions, she would see her father. Sometimes, he would be dying peacefully, looking at her with love. But more often than not, he would be a ghoul, holding a scalpel. He would walk towards her and ask her why she had not saved him.

She felt her heart sink deeper into a sea of uncertainty. Would she be able to put these ghosts at rest? Or would she continue playing the part, wearing her gorgeous dresses and limited edition shoes while still remaining haunted.

She forcefully shook her head. No, she would not sink into despair. Right now, she had a future to fight for, and nothing would stop her.

The final place that Zhong Feng wanted to show Hu Lei was on the south side of the villa. This area had a beautiful and well-maintained flower garden. So, the scent around this part of the property was refreshing, and the appearance was quite good.

However, the garden was not the place that Zhong Feng had wanted her to see. After enjoying the garden view for a moment, they passed through a covered little patio which had tasteful English-style outdoor furniture and a few potted plants.

Then, he opened the door connecting the house to the patio. When Hu Lei saw the interior space, she felt tears form in her eyes. Before she could stop them, a couple of droplets fell from her eyes and trickled to her face.

"Don't you like it? Is it the distance? There is an indoor access door over there." Zhong Feng asked with concern.

This reaction was too different from the one she had before the closet.

"It's not that. I love it so much. It is everything I have ever wanted." She responded before suddenly hugging his waist and pressing her body to him tightly. If she wasn't much smaller than him, she might have caused him significant injuries.

He petted her head in soothing motions gently.

When Hu Lei felt satisfied, she released him and looked at the large room. It was a library which doubled as an office. She had always hoped to have one of these since she had discovered novels. Before she had realised that there were so many interesting stories in the world, she was always buried in course work from different countries, medical books and classic literature.

It was not that she hated these books. However, for a young girl living a serious life, it was more interesting for her to read fictional books to escape into a fantasy. Unfortunately, she did not have the leisure of owning hardcopy books. She could only read using her phone or a computer.

Now, she had a dream library filled with wonderful novels. She walked around the filled shelves and checked the titles. She felt excited because some of the books she had been reading had new volumes, and there were a couple of new authors that looked interesting. The future was truly great.

In one area of the room, there was a comfortable chaise lounge. On the far end, she saw a beautiful brown desk which was neatly organised. She could see a laptop, a phone, some notebooks and a pencil case. It was the perfect workspace.

"If you spoil me this much, I will never be able to leave." She said, turning back to the tall man.

"Is that so?" he asked in a deep flirtatious tone, pulling her to himself.

Disappointingly, before he could put his thoughts into action, his phone beeped. He looked at her with regret before taking out his phone, checking it and putting it away. He kissed her lightly on her forehead. It seemed they were really back to Supreme City.

"I have to leave." He said.

"I understand. You must have so much work because of all the time you took away for me." She felt remorseful about this fact.

"What do you mean for you? I was obviously on an exotic holiday with a cute little beauty. It was no hardship." He spoke light-heartedly.

"You have become quite a talker, haven't you? It seems that I have to talk twice as much as I used to maintain status quo." She laughed.

Zhong Feng felt her tighten her hand on his chest.

"Do you want me to stay for a little longer?" He asked softly.

"No, I am just unhappy that you did not put any of my books in the library." Her small hand punched him lightly on his chest.

"Those are for my personal collection." The response was filled with amusement.

As they walked outside, they both felt a sense of unwillingness to separate.

"You will find everything you need in the desk. If not, my number is programmed into the phone. You can reach me at any time. Li will bring in someone to assist and protect you tomorrow." He added, worried about leaving so suddenly.

"I can fight." She said grumpily because he was treating her like a child.

"I know, but I don't want you fighting unless you have to." He patted her head.
