88 DON’T YOU LIKE IT? (2/2)

When Hu Lei felt satisfied, she released him and looked at the large room. It was a library which doubled as an office. She had always hoped to have one of these since she had discovered novels. Before she had realised that there were so many interesting stories in the world, she was always buried in course work from different countries, medical books and classic literature.

It was not that she hated these books. However, for a young girl living a serious life, it was more interesting for her to read fictional books to escape into a fantasy. Unfortunately, she did not have the leisure of owning hardcopy books. She could only read using her phone or a computer.

Now, she had a dream library filled with wonderful novels. She walked around the filled shelves and checked the titles. She felt excited because some of the books she had been reading had new volumes, and there were a couple of new authors that looked interesting. The future was truly great.

In one area of the room, there was a comfortable chaise lounge. On the far end, she saw a beautiful brown desk which was neatly organised. She could see a laptop, a phone, some notebooks and a pencil case. It was the perfect workspace.

”If you spoil me this much, I will never be able to leave.” She said, turning back to the tall man.

”Is that so?” he asked in a deep flirtatious tone, pulling her to himself.

Disappointingly, before he could put his thoughts into action, his phone beeped. He looked at her with regret before taking out his phone, checking it and putting it away. He kissed her lightly on her forehead. It seemed they were really back to Supreme City.

”I have to leave.” He said.

”I understand. You must have so much work because of all the time you took away for me.” She felt remorseful about this fact.

”What do you mean for you? I was obviously on an exotic holiday with a cute little beauty. It was no hardship.” He spoke light-heartedly.

”You have become quite a talker, haven't you? It seems that I have to talk twice as much as I used to maintain status quo.” She laughed.

Zhong Feng felt her tighten her hand on his chest.

”Do you want me to stay for a little longer?” He asked softly.

”No, I am just unhappy that you did not put any of my books in the library.” Her small hand punched him lightly on his chest.

”Those are for my personal collection.” The response was filled with amusement.

As they walked outside, they both felt a sense of unwillingness to separate.

”You will find everything you need in the desk. If not, my number is programmed into the phone. You can reach me at any time. Li will bring in someone to assist and protect you tomorrow.” He added, worried about leaving so suddenly.

”I can fight.” She said grumpily because he was treating her like a child.

”I know, but I don't want you fighting unless you have to.” He patted her head.
