154 CHAINS, WHIPS AND WAX (1/2)

”Xiao Lei, are you angry?” Zhong Feng asked as he joined her on the bed.

Hu Lei had been uncharacteristically quiet from the Zhong estate to the Westend penthouse. Therefore, Zhong Feng had a nagging feeling that she was mad about something. The suspicion put him on edge, and he could no longer hold back.

Hu Lei did not respond immediately. Unfortunately, with her back facing him, he could not tell what she was thinking. He felt frustrated, but he decided not to push.

”Have you done something to make me angry?” She responded after a long moment.

Zhong Feng felt that he was experiencing his first marital problem. Usually, Hu Lei would speak directly about any issues. She was never fussy and would not speak in code. He felt that there had to be something seriously wrong for her to be like this.

He could not help feeling a sense of apprehension. He thought about the entire day and could not pinpoint the problem. Numerous things had happened, and Hu Lei had not showed any discontent or anger at any point. Then, he remembered. She had acted strange after meeting Song Lili.

”Are you angry about Song Lili?” He asked tentatively.

Hu Lei immediately became furious about the guess.

”Why would I be angry about some nobody I have just met? If you are just going to spout out nonsense, then I am going back to my apartment.” Hu Lei immediately stepped out of the bed with purpose, really meaning to leave.

However, when she was about to open the bedroom door, two strong arms caught her by the waist. She struggled for a moment wanting to kick him soundly, but she did not want to harm him again.

”Let go.” She spoke out with anger.

”I will never let go.” A warm seductive voice spoke close to her ear.

Hu Lei felt even more furious. Was he trying to use the beauty trap on her at this moment?

”Do you believe that I will not put you in a hospital?” She threatened with gritted teeth.

”Would you have the heart to injure your husband on your wedding night?” He asked, holding her tighter.

Hu Lei could not believe that this man who was lauded as the genius of Supreme City had the EQ of protozoa.

”So you remember that today was our wedding?” She asked, her anger reaching maximum level.

Zhong Feng released her from his hold, allowing her to face him head-on with her fiery eyes. However, he did not feel as apprehensive now that he had discovered the cause of her anger.

”Why didn't you say that you did not want to visit my parents?” He asked with a confused expression.

Seeing his innocent and clueless expression, Hu Lei realised that her anger could go to higher levels. She could practically feel steam flowing out of her ears.

”So it is my fault? Is it not common sense that you should spend the day with your wife after registering a marriage?” She asked him.

Zhong Feng could still not grasp the core matter.

”Then, why did you agree?” He asked in an incredulous tone.

”Do I need to spell it out for you? When you asked for my opinion, you had already accepted the invitation. Did you want me to forbid you from seeing your parents? Or did you want me to let you go alone and let us spend the day apart?” She asked her voice, breaking at the end. Her eyes shimmered with moisture, but tears did not fall.

Zhong Feng felt something clutch his heart when he heard her words. He realised that had been inconsiderate towards her throughout the day. For all his declarations before his parents, he had already failed her and caused her pain.
