After a long month abroad, Zhong Feng finally returned to his Westend penthouse. He felt exhausted after the long and eventful trip. Moreover, he had accelerated his work so that he could return home quickly. He did not like being away. Unlike before, he had someone waiting for him.

When he entered the house, he immediately saw the curled up figure on the white couch. He closed the door softly, placed his suitcase aside and walked to her. This silly girl… He had told her that he would probably come back late in the night and still she waited for him. He could not help feeling moved by the gesture.

He leaned in and looked at the familiar adorable face. Her plumb cheeks had a healthy pinkish tint, and her long black lashes accentuated her doll-like appearance. Her soft plumb lips had a reddish colour and were parted in a relaxed manner as she slept.

Zhong Feng felt his heart thump loudly in his chest as he gazed at her. He could not believe that she was all his. He wanted to embrace her and hold her at all times. He wanted to hide her away from everyone, but at the same time, he wanted to show her off because she was a magnificent star.

He leaned closer and captured her lips with his in a gentle and coaxing kiss. Her lips tasted slightly minty and sweet. He could guess that she had been drinking something fruity while waiting for him. He smiled against her lips before reluctantly parting with her.

However, before he could fully rise, the sleeping girl lifted her hand and clutched his shirt with incredible strength. She pulled him back to her face and looked at her with large blinking eyes which showed no sign of sleep. She looked at him for a long moment before speaking.

"Mr Zhong, do you always assault girls in their sleep?" She asked in a mock strict tone.

"I only assault you." He replied solemnly.

Hu Lei giggled heartily at his response before releasing him. She threw off the comforter she was using and stood up on the couch. With this elevation, she could look at him directly in the eyes. She took him in with a warm gaze before stretching her arms to hug him.

"I really missed you, Ah Feng." She whispered in his ear.

For some reason, she felt her eye stinging and her throat close up. She knew tears were about to flow in rivulets out of her eyes. When had she become this type of cry baby? She fought to suppress the tears with difficulty. However, as soon as Zhong Feng placed his strong arms around her body, she could not hold back anymore.

The feeling in her heart was so strange that she could not grasp it. But there was something subtle that seemed to say, 'you are home'. The urge to sob loudly seemed to press down on her heart, but she was completely unwilling to go that far.

Without realising what she was doing, she opened her mouth and bit Zhong Feng in the tendon where his neck connected to his shoulder. She felt a little guilty about biting him again, but she really did not want to cry loudly like a child.

Zhong Feng rubbed her back gently with a small smile on his face. It was only in Hu Lei's presence that his felt his facial muscles loosen up. It was almost as if she could melt the ice and eliminate the stiffness that had always covered his face.

When Hu Lei finally released him, he finally asked the question which had been burning him.

"What are you wearing?"

Hu Lei looked at the large white linen casual shirt and her face reddened a little.

"It's yours. I heard somewhere that men like when their girlfriends wear their clothes." She refused to back down even though she was shy.

Zhong Feng felt his face darken. Who had Hu Lei been talking to? Or could she have been looking at strange things on the internet?

"Do you like it?" She pouted cutely and struck a couple of poses.

He looked at her and found that certain parts of her body were bouncing merrily as she moved in a ridiculous fashion. Moreover, when the large shirt lifted higher, he realised that she was not wearing shorts underneath. However, he caught a flash of something red.

An unbearable itch seemed to overwhelm his heart, and he felt the temperature of his body increase. He loosened his tie which seemed to be restricting his breath. However, he did not feel any change. He needed water. No, not water…

Without further delay, he captured the teasing Hu Lei and brought her into his arms. She yelped even though there was a blush of pleasure of her small face.

"You like playing with fire, don't you?" Zhong Feng asked hoarsely. His own voice sounded unfamiliar to him.

She chuckled as she allowed him to press her completely into himself with his arm around her waist.

He could not bear his yearning anymore. He lifted his free hand and caught her chin firmly. He looked deep into her glowing eyes until her cheeks became red in embarrassment. However, he did not allow her to turn her head.

He brushed his lips over her soft ones lightly, experimentally. He repeated the motion several times holding himself back from devouring her. Then, Hu Lei moaned in protest at his torturous actions. That little sound pierced through his body, leaving him powerless to the desire.

With that Zhong Feng captured her sweet lips in a ferocious kiss, ravishing her with deep, wet kisses that left them defenceless to their carnal fire. Hu Lei lifted her arms to his shoulders and leapt onto him, locking her legs around his waist.

Zhong Feng made a hoarse sound of approval as he supported her pert little body with his hand. His tongue plunged into her mouth like a relentless plunderer. Hu Lei felt her mind become blank even as she daringly welcomed that tongue in her mouth, sucking on it with relish.

When things were about to heat up a notch higher, Hu Lei's stomach growled in its emptiness. The sound caused Zhong Feng to chuckle lightly into her mouth. She felt that she had lost all face. 'How dare he laugh at me? I am hungry because I wanted us to eat together.'

She huffed in dissatisfaction and decisively disentangled herself and slid off of him.
