87 FRIENDLY EXCHANGE WITH HIS LADY (2/2)

Hu Lei tilted her head in question at Zhong Feng.

”If you have any problem, you should only ask me.” He said, entirely serious.

She blushed a little for some reason and could not find any way to respond. It was not difficult to figure out that he had been jealous. How could he act like that here? In an attempt to disperse her embarrassment, she walked quickly ahead of Zhong Feng. Then she realised with awkwardness that she did not where she was going.

Zhong Feng followed her, caught her arm in his hand and pulled her to him. He hugged for a moment before releasing her. Hu Lei felt her face burn up right to the tips of her ears. It seemed that in spite of everything, her skin was still thin.

”Let's walk around before settling in.” He tucked beneath his arm.

Hu Lei felt self-conscious, but she also could help enjoying the warmth that encompassed her. So, she decided to forgive his transgression of embarrassing her.

Following the tour around the house and awkward meetings with the household staff, Zhong Feng finally brought Hu Lei to her bedroom. It was not as well-decorated as the one he had prepared for her in Azure Woods, but she loved it. It had nothing to do with the fact that it was next to his bedroom. She just felt that its feng shui was wonderful. Or so she told herself.

In addition to the feng shui, the bedroom was a masterpiece. The space was wide and open, the colours were warm and wonderful, and the bed looked super comfy. However, this was not the best part of the room.

Once Hu Lei found the walk-in closet, she no longer cared about feng shui and its location.

The closet was filled with the most stunning clothes and shoes she had ever seen. From a very long time ago, Hu Lei had always been a person who loved gorgeous things. It was just circumstances that limited her dreams of glamour. When she had finally begun to collect beautiful stuff, fate had torn them away from her.

But it seemed that she had been rewarded for being her wonderful self. She knew that most people considered individuals who loved superficial valuables and designer labels shallow. She did not care about these people. No, she looked down on these deep people from her pedestal of limited edition stiletto heels. At least, she looked good while being shallow.

She did not dare touch anything with her dirty hands. Yes, Hu Lei loved her beautiful things to a point of building them an altar. Perhaps it is because she had never had an opportunity to wear nice things on her travels. She even had to dress up temporarily as a boy in some countries due to certain restrictions.

In Azure woods, there had only been 'comfortable' clothes. She had been looking forwards to seeing something different from jeans, wool trousers and cat onesies. Ok, maybe she loved the cat pyjamas. She smiled gleefully at the closet. Actually, she did not even think about protesting about the amount spent on these clothes. Her dignity dissolved, and her eyes became blazing like the sun.

”Do you like it?” Zhong Feng asked with a chuckle.

Hu Lei finally realised that she was behaving like a starving dog before a chunk of meat. She coughed lightly, composing herself. She turned to him.

”It will do.” She spoke coolly, unaware that her face did not look as composed as she thought.
