90 ABANDON HER IDENTITY (2/2)
”You are back.” Her yellow eyes looked at him sleepily, and his mouth stretched into a smile.
”En, did you eat?” He asked sternly but softly.
”I was waiting for you.” She responded.
”You should eat something.” He admonished with a hand on her head.
She caught his hand and checked his watch. It was past two in the morning. He had to be tired.
”It's not good to eat this late. Let's go to bed. I will eat more tomorrow.” She rose and rubbed her eyes.
Zhong Feng realised that she was suffering from eyes strain. The orbs looked red and pained. He could guess that it was as a result of using screens. It seemed that it was time to take her to hospital for a long overdue check-up and perhaps eyeglasses. He sighed and picked her up.
The rest of the night passed without incident.
In the morning, those late sleepers still woke up quite early and had breakfast together. Hu Lei wanted to keep sleeping, but she did not want to miss out on an opportunity to be with Zhong Feng, especially if he would come back late.
When breakfast was concluded, Zhong Feng destroyed the moment of peace by delivering a lecture on health. Hu Lei wanted to laugh at his school principal aura, but she obediently listened as he instructed her to take breaks from looking at screens, not to watch scary TV and avoid skipping meals.
She did not protest because he was not wrong. Her body was not in the best condition, so she had to be a little more careful.
Before their conversation could continue, Housekeeper Li came back with a woman dressed in black jeans and a white T-shirt. Hu Lei looked at her with a critical eye. The woman was of average height, had short hair and slightly above average looks. She looked trained based on her gait and posture.
It seemed she could not escape the fate of having a guard. But more importantly, she sensed a concealed dislike coming from the woman's eyes. Though she held it in admirably, nothing could escape Hu Lei's keen eyes.
Hu Lei smiled at Zhong Feng who had a deep frown on his face. It seemed like he had also noticed the slight animosity. When he would have had Housekeeper Li take that woman out, his little lady shook her head at him.
He felt a little helpless because he knew she was probably thinking something untoward. He could only back down. It was alright for her to have her strange brand of entertainment. He would ensure that she was not in danger.
”Miss Hu, this will be your assistant. Her name is Ting Wan.” Housekeeper Li introduced with a smile.
