49 SHE TOOK INITIATIVE (1/2)

The simple meal was served in the dining room though Hu Lei would have preferred to eat in the kitchen. However, she did not oppose the plan. Perhaps Zhong Feng was trying to provide her with the full dining experience with him. The thought caused her to chuckle to herself in her mind.

She had to admit that there were definite benefits of eating at the proper dining table. She could look at Zhong Feng directly. The refined man ate his noodles with grace and elegance, leaving her to admire and envy him. Moreover, with a face like that in her line of sight, she could eat three bowls of plain rice.

”When are you planning on moving into your new place?” he asked suddenly, startling her out of her daydream.

She was silent because she had not really thought about it. When she had received a call the previous day, she had been in a poor mood. Therefore, she had decided to look at the house on a whim. She had not established a specific day for moving in if the search was successful.

”I don't know. But it shouldn't be too difficult. I don't own anything.” She responded with a careless shrug.

As a nomad, she did not have property to lug around. When she had returned to the country, she had only come back with a few clothes and shoes, a laptop and her phone. There was no need for anything else. Everything else that she had been using in the past months belonged to the Hu manor.

”Move in this weekend.” Zhong Feng said, surprising her.

Hu Lei looked at him closely to determine if he was joking. Then, she remembered that he was not the comedian type.

”I can't just move in. The place is completely empty. Where will I sleep, eat and work?” She protested.

”Naturally, I will help you.” He spoke in a matter-of-fact manner.

”Are you that anxious to have me as your neighbour, Mr Zhong?” She teased while leaning closer over the table.

She could not resist playing a little when she looked at him being all serious while making an effort to be nice to her. While he still had the behaviours of the evil emperor, she was starting to see that he treated her with undeserved kindness.

”Feng.” He corrected her while looking directly into her bright eyes.

”What?” She asked while blushing and backing away.
