Hu Lei planned to return to Supreme City as early as possible, especially after hearing the news from Kaito. However, she had forgotten how old people could drag things on. It was obvious that her grandfather was trying to prolong their goodbye.

Therefore, by the time she and Shui returned to the city, it was already quite late.

She had Shui drop her off at the Westend place and let him return to his home. Luckily, she did not have a lot of luggage, just her backpack. When she entered her house, she did not see the person, but she could smell a delicious aroma from the kitchen.

She threw the bag on the floor and rushed to the kitchen. As she entered, Zhong Feng turned to face her. Without speaking a word, she leapt into his arms, not caring about the spatula in his hands. Immediately, he dropped it and caught her in his strong arms.

Hu Lei clung so tightly to him, with both her arms and legs around him, unwilling to let go. Zhong Feng supported while also holding her tightly.

In that moment, he felt like he could breathe again.

Long moments passed before Hu Lei was willing to release the man.

"You have become lighter." Zhong Feng said with dissatisfaction as Hu Lei's feet touched the floor.

Hu Lei giggled. It seemed that Ah-Feng had become like an old woman, chiding her for becoming thinner. She had actually not lost much weight, but she had been working out daily while in Herb Town. So, she perhaps felt lighter.

"The word you are looking for is more beautiful." She pouted.

Zhong Feng smiled from the depth of his soul for the first time in months. "Of course, my wife is the most beautiful. She glows brighter than the stars."

Hu Lei huffed with pride like a kitten with her tail in the air. "At least you understand this much. What about you? You look like you haven't slept for weeks."

She lifted her hand and touched the handsome face which had clear marks of fatigue. Moreover, he truly looked like he had lost weight.

Zhong Feng lifted a hand to rub the top of Hu Lei's head.

"You can take care of me now that you are back."

Hu Lei knew that he did not want to talk about it. In any case, now that she was back, she would not let him neglect himself. With that thought, she decided to talk about something else as Zhong Feng turned to check on the food.

"I hear that you are going to have another wife." She stared at him with narrowed eyes.

Of course, she knew that Zhong Feng would never do anything to let her down. However, she could not simply let go of the whole issue with Song Lili. The news about their apparent relationship was everywhere that she looked.

It was strange how people could hype up a relationship even though they did not see the rumoured couple together. Regardless of her inside knowledge, Hu Lei could not help but be irritated when she heard the news about how they truly matched.

She wanted to slap everyone who praised the match.

"Don't worry. I am dealing with it." Zhong Feng reassured her.

Hu Lei's eyes became sharper. It was just as she had suspected. There was a problem related to the news or else Zhong Feng would have directly squashed the entire thing.

"So there is something to deal with?" Before Zhong Feng could open his mouth, she added. "And you better tell me the truth because I have my ways of finding out."

Zhong Feng was silent for a while before he decided to talk about it.

"Song Lili bugged your apartment with small cameras during the period I was away from the city. It was around the time that you received a letter from your father."

Without needing further explanation, Hu Lei could already see the results from this incident. Song Lili had an incriminating video of her, so Zhong Feng felt like he could not move carelessly. He had chosen to protect her.

For a moment, she almost told him that she did not care about the video. Song Lili could release it if she wanted. And she truly did not have any thoughts about that video. However, she thought a little more and realised the repercussions on Zhong Feng and Zhong Industries if the clip was released.

Moreover, she did not want to give that shameless Song Lili a chance to win.

"Ah-Feng, we are both extremely smart people. A basic person like this is not even worth much. But at least, she will provide some entertainment." Hu Lei smiled with a hint of naughtiness.

Seeing her confident smile, Zhong Feng remembered her cute cockiness when she came to Etude Technologies long time ago. She was still the same adorable person.

"What do you have in mind?" He smiled.
