His Cute Wife Is A Little Crazy Chapter 19
Advertisement
About half an hour later, Hu Lei woke up with a start. She looked around and found Zhong Feng working on his computer. In her mind, she could not help speak words of admiration. Perhaps it was true that a man was most dazzling when concentrating. His devilish charm seemed to shine though more prominently.
When he turned his head to her, she was a little startled and embarrassed. She coughed awkwardly.
"Have you looked enough?" he asked in a soft voice.
Hu Lei shivered at that soft tone that did not have a soothing effect.
"Who was looking?" She denied immediately.
The lift of his eyebrow indicated that he did not believe in her retort at all. She could not help agreeing that the comeback was pretty weak. So, she chose to ignore the implication of her admiration and changed the topic.
"How did I do in your little test?" She inquired with an obvious smugness on her face.
"Not bad, considering…" His eyes drifted to her chest.
A fire of wrath immediately lit up in her eyes when she realised the place he was looking. Truth be told, she was a little, well a lot, sensitive about her chest. For most girls, having a larger bosom would be a positive thing.
However, for Hu Lei who was about 150cm tall and quite slim, a large chest was an imposition. When people met her, they would notice this area of her body first. How could she stand for ogling?
Just as she was about to curse at the evil man, she realised that there was a sheet of paper attached to her chest. Her face blushed deeper, and this time, not in anger. She huffed before unplastering the embarrassment off her chest. The least he could have done was tell her about it politely instead of allowing her to shame herself.

Zhong Feng did not want to tease her too much, so he did not say another word in spite of the cute red face that called for a little good natured bullying.
"You should go home. Come back tomorrow. We will discuss the specific details of your work then. Make sure to get plenty of rest." He instructed in his usual tone.
Zhong Feng in fact wanted to keep her for longer and perhaps dig a little deeper into the mystery. However, he knew that the girl could not be pushed. He still remembered the look in her eyes when he approached her sleeping on the desk. He had also seen how tired she seemed.
Hu Lei stood up with difficulty, feeling as if her entire body was rebelling. Unfortunately, she did not have the luxury to keep resting for the night. She needed to get ahead on her work if she was going to continue living the double life.
She waved at Zhong Feng before walking out with haste. With enough speed, she could do a lot in the evening and get some sleep. At least, she did not need to bother with those boring materials again. She made a face as she remembered how dull the last three days had been.
When she reached the ground floor, she was accosted before she could leave the building. The accoster was one of the girls that worked in marketing. She was only passably attractive, and she had a common face that disappeared into the crowd. Hu Lei frowned when she was forced to stop by the girl standing in her way.
"Hu Lei, I tried to do everything to protect your job." Jian Ru spoke with distress in her voice.
Hu Lei was genuinely shocked. She had never interacted with this person before because she had been busy during her time on the marketing floor. Why would she have tried to protect her job? Though she was not well-versed in Supreme City life, she was always suspicious of persons who came bearing unsolicited goodwill.

"The whole marketing department wanted to plead your case before the President, but Manager Lin did not approve. I guess she was trying to protect the reputation of the department." The woman continued.
Hu Lei had some clues of the situation. She was an expert in language comprehension, so she could deduce that the person before her wanted information and favour. Also, she seemed to be attempting to trigger hate for manager Lin.
"I did not lose my job. You do not need to be concerned." Hu Lei responded curtly.
Jian Ru's eyes flashed with a cocktail of emotions which gave her eyes a glint of madness. Hu Lei who was already walking away did not notice it or she would have been very concerned.
"At least let me apologise with a drink." Jian Ru said, following quickly.
"Not necessary. I have my own matters to handle. Goodbye."
With that, she was gone, leaving a frustrated Jian Ru clenching her teeth.
