124 STUPID GENIUS EMPEROR (1/2)
Hu Lei had never slept in Zhong Feng's apartment since her return to Supreme City. However, she did not feel uncomfortable as she crawled into his bed after taking a shower. After all, there was no one else in the apartment, so she could act as she liked.
When Zhong Feng had suggested staying in the Westend in the city instead of going all the way to Area 99, she had felt elated. It was a chance to be free of the constraints of propriety.
In the villa, she felt like she always had to think about her actions. It was not that she was afraid of people speaking ill about her. She would not die from a few words by busybodies. However, she had gained a shallow understanding of influential families in the city.
If she did anything untoward, the matter would end up falling into the Zhong elders' ears, one way or another. If this happened, they could make things difficult or awkward for Ah-Feng. Therefore, she tried not to do anything excessive at the villa.
It was not that she was afraid of anyone. She just did not want to create unnecessary conflict between Zhong Feng and his parents. Based on her deductions, they definitely did not like her as it was. Still, she felt that she had to give way to the elders.
Now that she was with Zhong Feng alone in the apartment, she felt that she could let loose a little. Yes, in her mind, Hu Lei felt that she had been keeping a low profile, behaving like an elegant lady. Unfortunately, no one could hear her thoughts and disabuse her of her notions.
When Zhong Feng stepped out of the bathroom, Hu Lei immediately perked up. She looked at him with a burning gaze. He was like an incubus who had come to steal her soul. She stared unblinkingly at him. His peerless face coupled with his exposed chest caused her to forget herself and almost drool.
He looked at her with an amused expression as he approached the bed and rested beside her.
”It's time to sleep.” He said lightly patting her head.
Hu Lei looked at the man for a long moment. Seeing that he looked relaxed and ready to sleep, her face showed traces of dissatisfaction. The longer she stared, the more she felt annoyance cloud her heart and mind.
If it was another woman in her position, perhaps they would have remained silent about their displeasure. However, Hu Lei never stood on ceremony with Zhong Feng. Moreover, she felt that if she did not vent her frustration, she might just stab him in the night.
She lifted her body from the bed and looked down at him.
”Why are you always so in control?” She asked unhappily.
”Mmmh… what do you mean?” Zhong Feng asked with a frown.
He could see that his little wife was angry, but he could not figure out the reason. He had not done anything as far as he knew.
”You are always so controlled about everything. You never let go of reason at any point.” Her eyes seemed to blaze. ”Even when I behave unreasonably, you are always completely unfazed. It's like you have the world in your hands, and everything is playing out exactly as you expect.”
Zhong Feng felt confused by the sudden outburst. He felt that this behaviour was uncharacteristic for Hu Lei. Though she did go a little crazy once in a while, she had never showed unreasonable anger before, especially toward him. He felt distressed because he could not figure out her meaning.
Seeing his confused face, Hu Lei huffed at him before turning her back to him and pretending to sleep. How could this genius modern emperor be so stupid?
