169 SUBTLE SYNCHRONICITY (2/2)

Zhong Feng nodded.

”If there is a problem, call me immediately.”

”How could anyone bully me?” She stuck out her tongue at him.

”Alright, my wife is tough and mean.” His lips stretched into a comfortable and teasing smile.

”I almost forgot. Do you need to use your vehicle? I can call a car service.” Hu Lei had been using his usual vehicle because it was the only one at the apartment.

”Your husband can at least afford a few vehicles. Don't worry. Assistant Zhe has already picked out another vehicle for me.” He was not crazy about buying expensive vehicles since he preferred a minimalist lifestyle. However, he still had a couple of suitable cars in his garage at the villa.

”By the way, where is Chen Li?”

Something flickered in Zhong Feng's eyes, but he immediately concealed it. Chen Li was his most trusted aide, and he had entrusted to him a critical mission. However, it was not the time to tell Hu Lei about it, especially when she was preparing for important work.

”He is doing something for me abroad. I came back a little earlier than planned.” He explained.

”You know, you should release him as your assistant. With his capabilities, he should be able to even take up a position as a CEO.” Hu Lei commented while thinking about the ever professional man who was always at Ah-Feng's side.

She felt like he had earned his freedom. It could not be easy serving the evil emperor. Of course, she would not say this out aloud because she could not bear the punishment that would come afterwards. Well, she could bear it, but there was no time.

”Mmmh, my wife is right. Don't worry. I have some plans in place for him.” He would not treat his most faithful aide poorly. Plus, he had found Hu Lei and taken control of Zhong Industries. It was time Chen Li spread his wings.

The couple left the house together, looking glamorous and refined. It was a beautiful image to behold because there was a subtle synchronicity in their dressing. Though Zhong Feng wore his usual black suit, his light blue shirt matched Hu Lei's dress perfectly. Moreover, Hu Lei was wearing black stilettos and carrying a black bag.

When they reached basement parking, Zhong Feng could not resist taking a bite of those luscious lips once again. He nibbled on them lightly causing them to turn into a deeper colour. Hu Lei was carried along in the wave of pleasure that she almost forgot about work.

However, they had to still separate. Even though Sonata Publishing was under Zhong Industries, the operation was not based in the headquarters. With one more kiss, they walked to their vehicles where their assistants were waiting.

”Your lips look a little bruised.” Beatrice commented with a grin as she drove out of the parking lot.

”I accidentally bit them.” Hu Lei lied unconvincingly.

Beatrice looked at her with a knowing smile before waggling her eyebrows.

”Shut up.” Hu Lei succumbed to the embarrassment.
