110 TRYING TO SOW DISCORD (1/2)

Hu Lei placed the laptop on her desk and settled on her chair with a sigh. She unlocked the device and continued typing fast. Her inspiration was still strong, and it would be a waste to spend time on other things.

In no time, she sunk deep into the story, and everything became more vivid. It was almost as if she was inside her story. She could see everything clearly. Her fingers moved faster, and her face glowed in anticipation of the next scene.

She felt as if she was not the one crafting the tale. She was merely an observer, recording the events as she saw them. It was exhilarating.

Unfortunately, her perfect little creative bubble did not last for too long. She lifted her eyes suddenly because she heard some movement outside the outdoor access door.

Her face showed traces of annoyance as she continued typing slower. It seemed that Ting Wan had become really audacious in her absence. If she was not wrong, the woman was picking the lock to her space.

”This is the library. You are definitely going to love it.” Ting Wan's voice did not sound normal.

Usually, she had a curt soldier-like tone. Now, she sounded flattering and even girlish. It was a little unnerving. However, the change made Hu Lei perk up a little, forgetting her earlier annoyance. This might be interesting.

”Cousin, are you sure we can enter in this place?” A soft and water-like voice asked.

Though the voice sounded hesitant and humble, Hu Lei did not miss the anticipation in the tone. Her lips stretched a little more, and the edges lifted up a little higher.

”What are you talking about? This place will be yours in the future. Why are you so hesitant?” Ting Wan said with a laugh.

A dangerous glint passed through Hu Lei's eyes. The darkness in her seemed to rise unbidden like a volcano at those words. The implication of that woman being with her Zhong Feng rubbed her wrong and caused that dark part of her to cloud her everything.

A certain thought crossed her mind. She would sooner burn the place down. Her mind seemed to conjure up flames, and she felt a shift in her mind and body. She grasped the situation immediately when she felt that change. She was becoming Jane.

She felt a cold fear in her and suppressed the darkness quickly. Yes, she remembered the warning given by her alter ego in a dream. And she knew that this continuous war between the metaphorical light and dark was not helping her mental health. However, she was also afraid of Jane. After all, Jane was her, and she knew what she was capable of.

The door finally opened, causing her to break free from her weird mental state. She would deal with this problem later. For now, she wanted to see what Supreme City debutantes could do. She leaned back in her chair.

The two women did not notice her when they entered. Her desk was in the far corner of the room, and the shelves of books concealed her. More importantly, she was deliberately trying not to be seen. With her special training, it was no big deal to not be easily perceived even though she was sitting comfortably.

”These must be all the popular books on the local and international market. There are even some rare copies that I have never seen.” The gentle-voiced woman exclaimed.

”You have only seen a couple of books, and you are already overwhelmed.” Ting Wan laughed.

They walked deeper into the library, looking around.

”I did not know that big brother Feng was a fan of books.” The woman smiled in joy.

Hu Lei clutched the arms of her chair in annoyance as soon as he heard that woman called her Ah Feng big brother. How dare she defile his name with that tone of voice?

Though Hu Lei was usually relaxed and casual about her relationship with Zhong Feng, she was actually very possessive in her heart. She had never had another person in her life who she felt belonged to her completely. It was a little twisted, but for her, Zhong Feng felt like he was a literal part of her heart. How could she feel at ease when someone was speaking casually about him?

Before she could control her strength, there was a loud crack. She had damaged her super comfortable chair by exerting too much power with her small hands.

The two women were startled and looked to the direction of the desk. Hu Lei was not startled when they turned to her direction. Instead, she smiled at them from her relaxed position. They naturally had no choice but to come closer.

Ting Wan looked annoyed, almost clenching her teeth while the other woman in a flowery sundress looked confused. Hu Lei understood the situation immediately and grinned.
