Chapter 451 - A SILLY LITTLE LADY (1/2)

When Hu Lei went downstairs, she found Zhong Feng waiting for her with a stern expression. She was taken back to the initial days when she met him. She wanted to run away and hide from the evil emperor because it would only be a matter of time before she had to confess her sins.

She knew that he knew about her knowledge of Yamazaki Akira. After almost a year of marriage, they had come to understand each other even more. Even a single glance or a subtle smile could speak volumes without a word.  ​​

The guilt in her heart became thick and suffocating as she faced Zhong Feng. But she did not bring up the underlying issue.

”I have to call Housekeeper Li to bring a couple of maids and the chef over. I just realised that I cannot bend enough to spread a bed. Our guest might have to sleep on the floor if we do not get some help.” Hu Lei laughed a little awkwardly.

Zhong Feng could see that Hu Lei was trying to gloss over the core matter. He lifted his refined sword-like brows as he stared at her. He did not intend to prompt her verbally to confess the fact that she had hidden something important.

”We should also get Dr Shui to come over. That lady might be injured, and she seems a little disoriented. We have not had such an exciting morning since we moved to Azure Woods. Should we have some tea to calm down?” Hu Lei was flustered by the lack of response from Zhong Feng.

After a while, she pouted as she felt a little wronged, even though she was the one in the wrong. She could not bear it when Zhong Feng had that expression on her face. Even though he looked composed, she could tell he was a little hurt by the fact that she had concealed something from him.

The guilt grew with every second. She chewed on the plump bottom lip of her mouth for a while with a lowered head before she looked up to Zhong Feng again. She capitulated under the weight of her remorse.

”I'm sorry, Ah-Feng. I should not have hidden something like this from you.” She said.

In reality, Zhong Feng had noticed that Hu Lei recognised the name of the young woman who had appeared on their residential property mysteriously. However, he did not know the true importance of the information.

He ȧssumed that it was someone that Kaito and Hu Lei knew from Japan. However, when he heard the phrasing of the apology, he felt like the matter was more important than he thought. He became a little more serious, even though his expression did not change.

However, before he could get to the bottom of the technical issues, he needed to deal with his naughty wife.

”Then, why did you hide it?” He asked.

Hu Lei pouted a little more. ”I was worried that you would not be able to let it go.”

Zhong Feng became a little confused by the words. ”What do you mean?”

Hu Lei stretched her hands, which were sticking out of the bear onesie paws, and grasped the refined hands of the man before her. The coolness of the hands caused Zhong Feng to hold those hands a little more tightly.

Her face and tone were earnest and had a hint of pleading for understanding.

”You have always worried about me. And you always put my needs above yours. If something happens to me, you do not even get a wink of sleep. I know that your concern is a sign of how much you love me. But you have to remember that I love you too.”
