184 NOT IN DEMAND (1/2)
Zhong Feng did not respond to the words. Instead, he looked at her and then hugged her tightly against his body, as if he wished to merge her with himself. Hu Lei did not feel bad about the lack of response. She understood that both of them had their worries and insecurities.
She just smiled as she took in his scent. Nothing else mattered except that they were together. And they were happy. Tomorrow's problems would worry for themselves.
After a long moment, she spoke again, ”Ah-Feng, I just remembered that I am covered in germs.”
She had been in a lot of places since morning. She was already feeling filthy because she could imagine the layers of contaminants on her. Zhong Feng did not respond. He clutched her tighter as if she was going to escape.
”You can hug me later as much as you want,” her voice had muffled laughter. ”Even without clothes.”
Her enticing words seemed to reach Zhong Feng, who released and looked at her flatly. Her attempts at seduction were only getting worse by the minute. Seduction was supposed to be subtle. She might as well hire a plane for skywriting.
However, this style was also quite cute.
”Let me show you the way to the shower.” He kissed her forehead and guided her to a discrete door on the left side of the office.
Hu Lei was surprised when she saw that the room was a complete bedroom suite. The room was spacious with a large bed at the centre. Though it was not specially designed, it had a minimalist elegance. There was even a closet in the space.
Seeing the curious eyes looking around the room, Zhong Feng's eyes softened even more.
”It's an area for sleeping in case I am very busy in the office, or it's too late.” There was a time he had more or less lived in the office. But that time was over. Since he had someone waiting for him, he would be a fool to stay in this cold place.
”How can you sleep here? What if a flower thief comes? I am sure that there are a lot of ravenous wolves in this building waiting to pounce.” Hu Lei said with horror.
Zhong Feng knocked on her head softly, seeing her foolish behaviour. She turned to him with large aggrieved eyes.
”I am not as in demand as you might assume.” He laughed while rubbing her small head soothingly.
There was a look of disbelief on Hu Lei's face when she realised that he was not joking. It seemed that he really believed what he was saying.
”Lower your head.” She beckoned to him with her index finger. He was confused, but he did it. As soon as his head was closer, she knocked on it as he had on hers earlier. ”Peh, how can you not notice how some people want to devour you and not even leave bones? How am I supposed to be at peace if you cannot defend your beauty?”
She looked at him with endless worry in her eyes, like a wife with a foolish husband. If this man did not know when people were lusting after him, how could he defend himself? He will definitely be stolen. 'My hair is going to turn grey at this rate.' The wife thought to herself.
Seeing the concern and apprehension in his eyes, the foolish husband thought that his little wife might be a little crazy. However, he had already married her, what could he do. ”Go take your shower. I will order some clothes for you.”
