His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

"I don't see how I can move in over this weekend." Hu Lei decided to go back to the matter at hand while following Zhong Feng.

She would like to put this plan into action because she would not be able to take more time off. The weekend was the perfect time to move in while waiting for inspiration to strike. However, moving into a house was not a simple process.

"Just as you said you do not own anything, so the matter should be quite simple. Once Hong Yu brings the contract, we will be all set to begin." Zhong Feng turned back to her after placing the dishes in the dishwasher.

Looking at him, Hu Lei realised that since she had come in, she had not done anything to help. Moreover, she had not even offered to help him. She immediately felt like a failure as a woman. All she had done was talk the entire time and then eat. He must think poorly of her, she cried in her heart. The thought was interrupted by the doorbell.

Zhong Feng left the kitchen and his shadow followed him with a drooping head. As expected, it was a sweating Hong Yu at the door. Hu Lei still felt downhearted, but she quickly read the tenancy agreement before signing and transferring funds to the provided account number.

Shortly after, Hong Yu left them after giving her the access code and keys as well as a long curious look. He could not figure out the relationship between the little lady and Mr Zhong. Assistant Chen had said that she was an employee. However, there seemed to be something more. Regrettably, it was not his place to ask questions.

"Are you feeling ill?" Zhong Feng asked after closing the door.

He had noticed that Hu Lei had become suddenly downcast, but he did not want to ask while an outsider was present.

"I realised that I am a failure as a woman." Hu Lei spoke, turning her large sad eyes to him in a dramatic fashion.

Zhong Feng lifted his hand and pinched the middle of his brows in exasperation. He should have known that she was thinking of something foolish. If he indulged her too much, her brain might turn into goo. So, he decided not to dig into her mind.

"Get ready. We are leaving." He said, checking the clock.

"You are chasing me out?" Hu Lei did not follow his thinking.

"Oh, I didn't know you were ready to advance our relationship so soon." He responded with a smile. "Very well, you can live with me. There is no need to go to the furniture shop at this hour."

Hu Lei became startled as she realised that he had meant that they were going shopping. Her lips stretched into a wide smile, and her eyes twinkled. She was going for a real shopping spree in Supreme City!

"He-he… I was distracted for a moment, big boss. We can leave at any moment." She felt elated, almost hopping like a little bunny.

"What did you call me?" Zhong Feng asked with the evil emperor's non-smile which had not been seen for quite a while.

"I called you Ah-Ah AH-FENG." With that final shout, she rushed off to the little embarrassed girls' room.

Zhong Feng felt that this woman was too childish. Perhaps she had not had a chance to be spoiled when she was younger. Didn't people always say that if you did not do childish things when young, you would end up doing them as a grown up? However, it was also part of her charm.

After she disappeared, he chuckled to himself.

In a certain restaurant in another part of the city, two people who did not have much in common faced each other. It was not the first time they had met, and it was unlikely to be the last. One of the companions was an elegant woman who exuded power and grace that came from growing up in the best conditions. Opposite her was a plain looking girl with a made up face and in pretty but ordinary clothes.

Though this strange couple was not in too weird, several looks had drifted to them. Some of the other people in the restaurant whispered in conspiratorial tones. There was no end to speculations about what the famed eldest miss of the Zhong family was doing with this commoner of commoners in a high-end dining spot.

"Jian Ru, I am glad that you could join me for a late lunch. I have been meaning to contact you, but I seem to get busier every day. I hope I did not interfere with your weekend plans." The beautiful woman spoke with a subtle smile.

"It is not a problem, Ms Zhong. It is my pleasure." The other person replied with a wide smile.

There was silence as a young woman delivered their food and beverages. During this time, Zhong Mian looked at her lunch companion with dissatisfaction. She could not seem to like her even though she had seemed kind enough during that gala. It was as if there was a snake lurking behind her eyes even when she smiled sweetly.

Unfortunately, Zhong Mian did not feel as if she had a choice regarding associating with Jian Ru. After all, it was impossible for her to place her own people in Etude Technologies to watch over her brother. Every time she had tried, Zhong Feng had discovered them immediately and eliminated them before they could be of use.

"Jian Ru, I called you because I wanted to thank you for your help during that incident." She said delicately.

"It was no problem. I was just doing what anyone would in my situation. I hope everything worked out." She spoke with a questioning look in her eyes.

Zhong Mian saw the need to know in the woman's eyes. However, she ignored it. How could she speak of her family's matters to a stranger? More importantly, she was not blind. It was obvious that Jian Ru had some intention towards her brother. Luckily, this made her the perfect tool to keep that Hu Lei from messing with Feng'er.

"Everything worked out. I was thinking of taking you to do a little shopping as a thank you." Her response came with a kind look.

Jian Ru's eyes burned with greed when she heard of this. When a woman from the richest family in the country offered to take one shopping, she would not be buying ordinary things. The allure was strong. However, she was playing a long game, so she had to offer a refusal.

"I couldn't possibly accept a gift for doing nothing. I feel like I do not deserve any reward for acting too late." She spoke with wryness.

"You deserve it for being so kind to my brother. Besides, you will let me know if anything else happens, right?" Zhong Mian smiled brilliantly.
