112 NOT ON INTIMATE TERMS (1/2)

Zhong Feng looked into Hu Lei's dark and teasing eyes and felt a sense of apprehension. It was not that he did not like this provocative side of her. To him, every part of her was a treasure, and he loved her deep and changing layers.

However, her sudden shift in behaviour filled him with concern.

When he had spoken to Doctor Shui a few days earlier, the medical expert had made it clear that it was not advisable for her to be in distressing or highly emotional situations. Though he had refused to speak about the specifics, he had explained that stress could cause a lot of complications.

Zhong Feng was not an idiot. He could read in between the lines. Furthermore, he understood that it was impossible for Hu Lei not to have a lot of mental scars and burdens from her past. Even though she always acted like nothing could take her down, she was not invincible.

He did not know how he could help her. However, he could at least protect her from external factors which could affect her health.

He looked at the two women in the room with a cold gaze and then turned to Housekeeper Li who had followed him in.

”Who allowed these intruders into the library?” he asked, pulling Hu Lei closer to him.

Housekeeper Li wanted to respond that it was their great mistress. However, he knew his master well enough to understand that that explanation would only inflame him further.

”Don't be angry with that poor man. We wanted to have a little fun.” Hu Lei said with a laugh. ”But they did pick the lock to the library.”

She looked at the two women, who had ugly expressions, with cunning in her eyes.

Zhong Feng heard the words spoken by Hu Lei, but only one thing caught his attention. She had said 'we' and not in that ancient royal sense that she liked. He wanted to look at her deeply form more information, but he resisted the urge. Instead, he petted her head lightly.

Bei Gong Jiu felt as if all her beliefs had been redefined as she watched the scene. Everyone, including her, had thought that President Zhong was incapable of human feelings. He was known as a robot because he spent all of his time working.

Even though she had hoped that she would get into a relationship with Zhong Feng, she had not been thinking a lot of fanciful romantic things. She had thought they would have a professional-like relationship since he did not seem like the type to have emotions.

However, seeing him looking at that hateful and violent woman with doting eyes and pampering her, she realised that he was fully capable of emotions. Unfortunately, he did not show that softness towards her. She felt jealous and angry even though she had no right.

However, she also understood something. If he was not a cruel robot, he could be moved. The only difference between her and the violent woman was their timing. Either way, he would not remain unfeeling once he understood the situation.

”Big brother Feng…” She started with tearful eyes.

This dog only knew a single trick. However, it was a trick that worked very well. Most men could not resist the gentle weeping of a woman. Unfortunately, Zhong Feng had only ever cared about one unique girl's tears. A girl who now seemed ready to leap out and kill someone…

He smiled at her scowling face and drew her closer to his body.
