His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Chapter 23 - PLAYBOY IDOL



Hu Lei could not help looking around the Maven Resort with wide eyes as she followed a step or two behind Zhong Feng. Though it was not the most exclusive spot in the city, it had the advantage of hype. Basically, a lot of people loved the resort, including celebrities. Therefore, it was considered to be a top place to be seen if you had the resources.

She had read on Microblog that the resort was reserved for the rich, powerful and glamorous. She had added it to her mental list of things to-do in Supreme City for a normal yet exciting life. Unfortunately, she had not had an opportunity to come. Or rather, she did not know how to approach these kinds of things.

Her face brightened as she took it in. It seemed all she had to do to explore the local sights was find a job in a prestigious company.

Zhong Feng looked at the girl behind her who looked like she wanted to stop, gasp and scream excitedly. He could not help thinking that her country bumpkin look was quite adorable. However, he could not understand. If she was so well-travelled, why would she be pleased about coming to this type of common place?

His natural instinct was to order a thorough background check, but he suppressed the urge for the moment. He did not want to treat her like a project or any other person. Unless he had to, he did not want to invade into her life.

Hu Lei was ignorant of his inner turmoil.

As she looked around, she noticed that countless pairs of eyes were trained on the big boss. While the gazes made her uncomfortable, she could not fault these people. From an objective point of view, he was an exceptional specimen.

At a little over 190cm by her estimation, he was quite tall. Moreover, he had to look overwhelmingly lofty beside her. His face did not let him down. Its five features were refined and well-proportioned on his face. In addition, he exuded an aura of power.

The women in the resort, ranging from the employees to guests, looked like they wanted to eat him up whole. On the other hand, the men looked at him with envy and a measure of hatred. This was probably because of the naked hyena-like looks in their companions' eyes.

She looked closer at the man who was the centre of this attention for a reaction. Unfortunately, that immortal-like face did not give anything away. He did not even seem to notice stares and glares. She sighed. What a boring person! The least he could do after dragging her halfway across town was provide some entertainment.

When they entered the Maven Lounge, they were welcomed by an austere looking hostess.

"Good afternoon, Mr Zhong. Please follow me." She spoke with a smile and a graceful bow.

Zhong Feng did not pause for even a moment. The hostess could only abandon most of her austerity and walk faster to avoid attracting the impatience and possible wrath of the man. Behind him, Hu Lei could not help patting herself to confirm whether she was invisible because the hostess did not even glance at her.

Unfortunately, the great emperor had exceptional peripheral vision.

"Stop playing around." He spoke without turning his head around.

She twisted her nose in annoyance. If he could see her, he could probably see all those people that stared at him. He just treated them like air, and denied her the entertainment she deserved. She could not help poking her tongue out at his back discretely.

She did not know whether he saw her childish action, but she assumed the best when he did not speak again.

The hostess did not understand the dynamic between the two guests. She naturally knew of the famous Mr Zhong, but she had never seen the woman with him. However, it was not her place to know anything. She led them to a large modern gazebo in a beautiful courtyard before bowing and leaving.

In the gazebo, a beautiful man sat relaxed, playing on his phone. His youthful look gave him that playboy idol look which was popular in the continent. In her head, Hu Lei could see him bursting out some pop tune, dancing in a line-up of a multi-coloured hair band.

The little person in her heart laughed at the image. Outwardly, Hu Lei remained calm and took a deep breath as she focused on her role.

She reminded herself that it was a simple meeting. As her father's little helper, she had met a lot of powerful people in her life. This idol was nothing in comparison. Moreover, she needed to perform well because she had not forgotten her original goal. She wanted to dazzle Zhong Feng and look down on him she smiled.

When the idol man looked up, his eyes seemed to twinkle like little stars. His gaze shifted from Zhong Feng to her and then back. Somehow, he seemed more fervent by the second.

Hu Lei tilted her head in puzzlement. There was definitely something wrong with this picture. If Etude Technologies was courting this person's company for business, shouldn't he be a little more like 'impress me'? This person looked like a little puppy on an energy drink.

She frowned as she evaluated the situation. As a smart person, she came up with some clues, but she did not express her suspicions. She was not employed to analyse people or stick her nose in other people's affairs. As long as she fulfilled her duties, she did not need to do anything else.
