Chapter 567 - SQUEEZE YOU DRY (1/2)
Hu Lei did not know the calculating mind of Chu Ling. If she did, she would laugh at the pipe dreams of the old woman. Moreover, she was already a little annoyed with her in-laws for their unpleasantness covered in polite questions.
Therefore, she did not want them to enjoy the precious grace of her cute baby.
”I am going to freshen up. If you would like the chef to prepare something for you for dinner, you can inform Housekeeper Li.” Hu Lei said.
Then, Hu Lei looked sharply at Wang Lei. Wang Lei turned to look at his mother directly as if he had a homing beacon. His dull eyes seemed to get a sharp glint that looked a lot like his mother's when she was on the hunt.
A short moment passed before Hu Lei pulled Zhong Feng's hand so that he could follow her. As soon as they were out of the living room, Wang Lei burst out crying. It was a loud and ear-piercing cry that threatened to bring down the house.
Hu Lei's lips quirked into a smile as she felt vindicated.
”Did you do something to make Wang Lei cry?” Zhong Feng asked.
”How can you be so suspicious?” Hu Lei said with a careless smile. ”Are you suggesting that I somehow made Wang Lei cry to take revenge on our dearest Mother and Father? I am not such a petty person.”
”…yes, you are.” Zhong Feng lifted his hand and patted the fluffy head.
”You wound me, husband. Even if I could influence my cute baby's mind to some extent, I would never use such powers for evil. That would be unethical. Of course, if my baby wanted to carry out revenge on behalf of his loving mother and protect her hurt heart, I would not stand in the way.” Hu Lei said as they entered the bedroom.
Zhong Feng looked at Hu Lei for a long moment. The cute face coupled with the little tiger smile as she smiled cheekily did not betray anything. He could not tell if she had actually done something to make Zhong Wang Lei cry.
But that was the beauty of his little wife. He never knew what he would discover at each moment of their lives. He was always ready for surprises.
”All jokes aside, are you really ok with me and Wang Lei not being around?” Hu Lei asked, facing Ah-Feng.
”Do not be silly. I will be there to visit as often as I can. I will support you, whatever you decide to do.” Zhong Feng said.
”You are so nice to me. Aren't you afraid that I will take advantage of you and squeeze you dry?” Hu Lei was a little dissatisfied with the way Zhong Feng was indulging her without limits. She would become even worse.
”You can take advantage of me and squeeze me dry.” Zhong Feng replied with a soft laugh.
It took a moment before Hu Lei noticed the dirty undertone of the words. Ah-Feng was teasing her and being naughty. She smacked his arm as her face became red. Despite everything, she could still be completely bashful.
”You are so bad. I am trying to have a serious conversation here.” She said.
”Alright, alright. What do you want to say?” He asked.
”I received word that Akira is doing well. The plan will probably begin soon.” Hu Lei said with something undecipherable in her eyes.
”Are you sure about this?” Zhong Feng asked.
Hu Lei nodded. ”It is not a bad thing to help Yuan Haoran destroy Martial Island. It is not like he wants to kill the people there indiscriminately. You have already discovered how rotten to the core the power structure there has become.”
”Yuan Haoran does not seem like the kind of person who would do something just for the sake of a revolution. I am afraid that he has other intentions.” Zhong Feng frowned.
