83 LITTLE BEAUTY IN MY ARMS (2/2)

”Ah-Feng!” the woman spoke in his ear after realising that he was no longer following up with the conversation.

”Oh, I got distracted by a cute little beauty in my arms.” He responded with a subtle smile.

Hu Lei blushed angrily. When did he learn to flirt like this? And why was he using these lines in this particular serious moment.

”Ugh… I hate your suspenseful way of telling stories.” Her eyes glowed eerily.

”Calm down, I will tell you everything.” He laughed in a low and utterly delicious way.

Hu Lei felt that sound penetrate through her mind and body, taking away her focus. His laughter should be made illegal. Unknowingly, her eyes lost the angry bright glow and became a dark molten gold as she looked at Zhong Feng.

The heated moment between the two people became long and drawn out, both forgetting about their conversation. It was Zhong Feng who looked away first, unable to bear that look in those naked eyes.

”As I was saying, the child was born by Lu Liang from Hu Ming, but everyone believes that he is Murong Cheng's.” He paused. ”Actually, that is not true.”

”What do you mean?” Hu Lei asked, interested in this unknown person.

”This Murong Fai is fourteen years old. It seems that he was conceived just before you left the country with your father. According to the sources, Lu Liang was already seeing Murong Cheng at that time. There must have been a bit of… an overlap.” He explained.

Hu Lei did not want to hear about these gross matters about the woman. She shifted on his lap impatiently.

”Be patient, we are getting there. It seems that after the child was conceived, Murong Cheng did not believe that the boy was his. So, he did not welcome Lu Liang to his home. The child was registered as Hu Ming's child. When the child was about three or four years old, the head of the family implied that it would not be long before he retired from the company.”

”Unfortunately, Murong Cheng did not have any trump cards to win over the elder. With only two daughters, it was difficult to get any advantages with the elder. His competitor was his favoured elder brother who has an excellent son. Without any other choice, he could only bring Lu Liang and Murong Fai into the family. With the introduction of an adorable grandson, the crisis was averted.” Zhong Feng finished.

”You are a terrible storyteller.” Hu Lei grumbled. ”You did properly answer the question.”

”Well, the thing is no one, except the old Murong patriarch, believes that Murong Fai is Murong Cheng's son. The man feels cheated and naturally does not like this son. Everyone who knows even a little about this matter whispers behind his back. The sisters also feel that Murong Fai is only there to steal their inheritance. Lu Liang considers Murong Fai her shame even though he was the reason she finally entered the family.”

Hu Lei felt that Murong Fai was truly pitiful even if he was linked to a rich family.

”But they must treat him well because he is their trump card, right?” she asked.

”You would think so. But the boy is quite sickly, so they have an excuse to ostracise him. Considering their circumstances, most of their acquaintances do not even know about the existence of the boy.” Zhong Feng explained.

”I would like to see this boy.” Hu Lei said with interest, even though she had not decided to accept this boy yet. If he was her father's son and the circumstances were right, they might be able to get along. But that depended on her observation.

”Do not worry. Your man has made appropriate arrangements.” Zhong Feng laughed again.

This time, Hu Lei escaped from his claws and rushed off to the bathroom with a burning face.
