53 TRULY A WICKED WOMAN (1/2)
Zhong Mian felt almost as nauseated as Jian Ru. When they stood side by side, the pair definitely looked like they had eaten something unpleasant for lunch. Their sick faces amused Hu Lei endlessly because well, she loved to see those who opposed her without good cause uncomfortable.
The look of enjoying other people's misfortune on her face was not missed by Zhong Feng. His formerly emotionless face softened with helplessness even though he knew that she was probably thinking something unpleasant.
”We will not keep you.” He broke the silence which had befallen the awkward group.
The wicked spell which had seemed to have entranced Zhong Mian and Jian Ru broke at the words. They both looked discomfited and desperate. The sun had already begun to set and letting the pair go would probably mean that they would be engaging in intimacies. Moreover, there was the little shopping bag which was filled with who knows what!
”Feng'er, it is almost dinnertime. How about we have a meal together?” Zhong Mian took the chance to stop the evil plot which was with no doubt brewing in Hu Lei's mind.
”I would also love to catch up with Hu Lei. It has been a while since she has come to the office.” Jian Ru chimed in.
Zhong Mian would normally be annoyed by a third party interfering when she was talking to her brother. However, at this point, she would take any help that she could get, even from this low class woman who was making disgusting expressions at Feng'er.
”Do you want to eat?” Zhong Feng looked down at the little woman who was watching the little play before her with interest.
Hu Lei obviously did not want to waste her valuable time on unimportant matters. But she felt some regret because avoiding this dinner meant that she would not be able to see their faces change in all kinds of wonderful ways. Still, it would be a shame to waste this type of chance for entertainment that had fallen into her lap.
”I think it would be rude to refuse Ms Zhong's invitation.” She paused and looked at the relieved look on the two women's face. ”But the noodles you made were too delicious. I really ate too much. One more bite of food and I might get sick.”
The large moist doe eyes looked so sad, but this appearance only caused their faces to darken, and their teeth to grit in anger. She had eaten food prepared by Zhong Feng? The two women had the same question in their head, and their envy was quite similar, in spite of the different relationships with the man. They really wanted to eat something made by him.
Zhong Feng's lips twitched at the cheekiness of this naughty girl. Is this what she had meant when she had asked him to entertain her on that night of her drunkenness? She was truly a wicked woman with the face of an angel, but he loved every facet of her rather strange and questionable personality. An overwhelming urge to pull her into his arms and uncover everything else about her filled his heart. Once again, he felt the pain of suppressing his urges.
”You should not force yourself to eat more. If you feel hungry later, I will make you something.” His cold voice lent seriousness to the drama that Hu Lei had orchestrated.
The petite woman lifted surprised eyes to Zhong Feng and smiled. He was obviously playing along even though he probably knew that her words were meant to irritate his sister and her new friend. It was nothing of importance, but her heart felt warm.
”We can have some coffee.” Zhong Mian jumped in to stop the flirtation happening before her. If this continued, she might need to gorge out her eyes.
”I appreciate the offer, Ms Zhong. But we couldn't possibly interrupt your dinner plans. Don't mind us.” Hu Lei waved her free hand lightly in dismissal.
