50 NOT A PROBLEM (1/2)

”I don't see how I can move in over this weekend.” Hu Lei decided to go back to the matter at hand while following Zhong Feng.

She would like to put this plan into action because she would not be able to take more time off. The weekend was the perfect time to move in while waiting for inspiration to strike. However, moving into a house was not a simple process.

”Just as you said you do not own anything, so the matter should be quite simple. Once Hong Yu brings the contract, we will be all set to begin.” Zhong Feng turned back to her after placing the dishes in the dishwasher.

Looking at him, Hu Lei realised that since she had come in, she had not done anything to help. Moreover, she had not even offered to help him. She immediately felt like a failure as a woman. All she had done was talk the entire time and then eat. He must think poorly of her, she cried in her heart. The thought was interrupted by the doorbell.

Zhong Feng left the kitchen and his shadow followed him with a drooping head. As expected, it was a sweating Hong Yu at the door. Hu Lei still felt downhearted, but she quickly read the tenancy agreement before signing and transferring funds to the provided account number.

Shortly after, Hong Yu left them after giving her the access code and keys as well as a long curious look. He could not figure out the relationship between the little lady and Mr Zhong. Assistant Chen had said that she was an employee. However, there seemed to be something more. Regrettably, it was not his place to ask questions.

”Are you feeling ill?” Zhong Feng asked after closing the door.

He had noticed that Hu Lei had become suddenly downcast, but he did not want to ask while an outsider was present.

”I realised that I am a failure as a woman.” Hu Lei spoke, turning her large sad eyes to him in a dramatic fashion.

Zhong Feng lifted his hand and pinched the middle of his brows in exasperation. He should have known that she was thinking of something foolish. If he indulged her too much, her brain might turn into goo. So, he decided not to dig into her mind.

”Get ready. We are leaving.” He said, checking the clock.

”You are chasing me out?” Hu Lei did not follow his thinking.

”Oh, I didn't know you were ready to advance our relationship so soon.” He responded with a smile. ”Very well, you can live with me. There is no need to go to the furniture shop at this hour.”

Hu Lei became startled as she realised that he had meant that they were going shopping. Her lips stretched into a wide smile, and her eyes twinkled. She was going for a real shopping spree in Supreme City!

”He-he… I was distracted for a moment, big boss. We can leave at any moment.” She felt elated, almost hopping like a little bunny.

”What did you call me?” Zhong Feng asked with the evil emperor's non-smile which had not been seen for quite a while.
