190 THAT CRESTFALLEN FACE (2/2)

”If this woman is not his girlfriend, who could it be? Do you see that she is wearing his coat?”

Some of the people talking wanted to take a photo of the couple, but no one dared. In comparison to having exclusive footage of Zhong Feng's girlfriend, they liked having a job even more. There were also those who thought that the little woman was completely not fitting for their CEO. However, no one dared speak about it.

They had heard that the CEO was tough but fair. However, he could also be cruel and unfeeling. No one knew where the rumours had come from, but it would be foolish to assume that there was no truth to it. After all, everyone had heard earlier how the beautiful Miss Lu, who was a project manager, had been dragged out by security earlier in the day.

Zhong Feng and Hu Lei left the building without paying much attention to the people. As soon as they were gone, discussions broke out and messages were sent around the company about the mysterious lady wearing the CEO's coat.

”Why do we need to buy a new sweater? I have plenty of clothes at home.” Hu Lei asked as Zhong Feng held her hand and pulled her into a spacious shop in one of high-end eastside malls.

Actually, as Hu Lei was saying this, her large eyes were already on the clothes. She looked like she would jump out and hug the mannequins. Zhong Feng looked at her with a raised eyebrow. Her mouth was saying no, but her body was only being held back by his hand.

She truly could not resist nice things. He felt an overwhelming sadness when he thought about how she had lived her life before, unable to enjoy the simplest pleasures of life.

”Can I help you?” A beautiful shop assistant came immediately and spoke with calm politeness.

In her heart, she was excited. As someone who had worked in high-end shops, she had a keen eye for major sales opportunities. The girl did not look like much. However, the man looked wealthy and indulgent toward the woman. These were the people who always bought too much.

”We are looking for a warm sweater or cardigan.” Zhong Feng spoke.

The shop attendant was immediately disappointed. It seemed like they were only here because the girl did not have a sweater for the cold evening. However, her disappointment could not be compared to Hu Lei's. She had not had an opportunity to shop for clothes properly. She had a lot of good stuff, but they had all been bought by Zhong Feng. Shopping was an experience in itself.

Seeing that crestfallen face, Zhong Feng laughed. He never intended to stop her from buying something else, but he thought it was better to buy what she needed first. Hu Lei looked up and realised that she had been too transparent.

”Go ahead.” He smiled at her blushing face.

Hu Lei's annoyance at being teased constantly by Zhong Feng faded as she ignored him and floated around the shop like a butterfly, picking out clothes to try on. The attendant also had a wide smile. She liked customers like Hu Lei most. They could never resist anything pretty and were open to suggestions.

The shopping trip did not stop there. Hu Lei was on a roll. She pulled Zhong Feng into another shop and then another. The word self-control meant nothing to her. She had quickly become a top customer in a lot of shops. Zhong Feng's face had become dark because he had underestimated her power.

When he could no longer carry the bags anymore, he called Housekeeper Li at the villa and asked him to send another vehicle. His current car was too small and not meant for handling cargo. After a long, long time, Hu Lei finally concluded her spree.

”Ah-Feng, I got something for you.” Hu Lei said as they walked to the parking lot. Zhong Feng noticed that she was indeed carrying a bag that he had not noticed. He had thought that she had not bought anything at the last shop.

She took out a thick light blue scarf from the bag. She motioned for him to lower his head. She placed the scarf around his neck and arranged it beautifully. Even though he was now wearing his full black suit, the effect was not bad.

She tugged the scarf a little, forcing Zhong Feng to bend a little more. Before he knew what was happening, she pressed her lips to his in an unusually chaste kiss. However, he felt it penetrate right into the deepest part of his heart.
