Chapter 449 - CUTE AND COMICAL (2/2)

Hu Lei turned to Zhong Feng and looked at him with triumph as she held the sword like a victorious gladiator. The smile showed off her little tiger teeth, which further enhanced the cute and somewhat hilarious appearance.

”I told you to be a little more careful during this period. You should not be fighting or doing strenuous exercise.” He rebuked her, but the underlying gentleness was unmistakable.

”Are you calling me fat?” Hu Lei asked with the sword glinting menacingly in the light of dawn.

Zhong Feng was speechless at the sudden turn in the conversation. Since Hu Lei got pregnant, she had picked a bad habit. She would ask that question at the most random times with a fierce expression, along with pouted lips, puffed cheeks and misty eyes.

It was difficult for Zhong Feng to avoid all potential landmines that could lead to the question. However, Hu Lei had become a little more creative in detecting nuances that could even be related to her protruding belly.

”How could it be?” Zhong Feng rubbed the head covered in the bear hood. ”How could anyone fat move so swiftly? You were like the wind.”

Hu Lei knew she was being unreasonable, and she could hear the glibness in Zhong Feng's voice. Still, she smiled, and her cheeks reddened a little without her control.

Actually, she knew that she was not fat. She had hardly gained weight since getting pregnant, and her physical condition was greater than ever. Since she became pregnant, she became a little less picky with food. She had even started eating foods she disliked, like eggs.

And yet, apart from her protruding belly, the rest of her was still lithe. She just liked riling up Zhong Feng and asking if he thought she was fat. She always enjoyed hearing his responses. He got more creative with each incident.

Akira looked at the loving couple and forgot about fighting back and running away from the scene. The two people were not welcoming. One held a gun to her head while the other grabbed her katana from her hand.

However, looking at them flirting like she was not there, she felt lonely. She especially felt bad because the small woman looked about to burst. And the man beside her was indulging her, putting up with her obviously unreasonable temper.

And what did she have? Nothing. Even her sword was taken away.

She could only imagine how hopeless and pathetic she would be when she was as advanced in her pregnancy as the other woman. She would be alone and sad. That is if she survived… Judging from the situation, her chances of survival were not that great.

Obviously, these people did not recognise her. They would probably throw her out since they did not seem keen on killing her. Once she was outside, she would probably be found by whoever was hunting her again.

It seemed that Kaito's plan was a complete failure.

She was in an unknown place. She could not be sure if she was even in Japan anymore since the couple was not speaking her tongue. Her Mandarin was passable, but she was not an expert, except in listening. Her accent was poor, and she spoke slowly.

If she was tossed out, she would not be able to fend for herself. And Kaito would probably never even know about Little Precious. With these thoughts in mind, Akira's mentality broke down. She burst out into tears and started bawling like a baby.

Hu Lei and Zhong Feng were startled and turned to look at the intruder of their quiet Azure Woods. The young woman was crying so loudly and dramatically, that she seemed to be made of water. The red face and broken cries were overwhelming.

They looked at each other in stunned silence.
