His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Hu Lei heard the front door open quietly. Though she had been napping, she was always vigilant about her surroundings, especially in unfamiliar places. The small click of the suite door was enough to wake her up, even though she was quite tired after the day she had had.

She turned to her patient who had fallen asleep during the acupressure treatment. She might or might not have used a trick or two to help the process along. She felt some guilt at the thought. But it was not like she had some nefarious plans for him, she thought to herself in righteous indignation. She just remembered his pitiful self earlier in the morning and decided to help him get some sleep.

Hu Lei planned to check on him, but his open eyes surprised her. She blushed immediately, partly in guilt and partly in embarrassment. Looking at the knowing glow in his eyes, he had probably realised what she had done during the treatment. In addition, it did not look good for her because she was sleeping beside him like she owned the place.

She wanted to explain that she did not want to leave him alone in the room until she was certain that his body condition was good. But after she thought about it, she felt that the explanation would make her seem a little guiltier.

Zhong Feng looked at the unscrupulous little woman with blushing cheeks and felt a burst of warmth in his heart. Though the cute kitten did not seem to have a clear grasp on normal morals, he could not help wanting to draw her into his arms.

He felt that the fact that she could act deviously with him meant that she did not think of him as an outsider. Still, he did not engulf her in an embrace. After all, trust was a fragile thing; it could be broken so easily. He would not take a chance.

However, he could not resist touching her. He lifted his hand rubbed her fluffy mess of hair lightly. For a moment, her body tightened and she seemed ready to coil away from his hand. Then, she seemed to change her mind and remain stiffly in position, allowing him to pet her head.

Just like a kitten, he thought while enjoying the soft texture of her hair.

"Go back to sleep. I will go and check." He said before leaving the bed.

Hu Lei nodded woodenly like a puppet. Her face had become redder, and her heart was racing. She also did not feel like enough oxygen was flowing into her lungs. When Zhong Feng picked up his shirt and left, she let out a sigh of relief, though deep in her eyes, there was a small twinkle.

She did not know what had come over her. When she had seen his hand lifting, her natural thought was to move away. She hated human touch the most. However, for some reason, she had chosen to remain in the position, allowing that hand to rest on her head. Perhaps she was curious or did not want to disappoint him.

With her face still a little flushed, she spread herself out like a starfish on the comfortable bed. She did not know why she felt so relieved and happy about a little pat on her head. It was not like it meant anything. Though she repeated this in her head, the little smile on her face did not disappear.

In the living room, Zhong Mian faced her brother with a look of worry and distress. She wanted to rush over to him and inspect him from head to toe. However, there was a forbidding look on his face. She could only look from a distance. Her brows tightened in anger when she noticed the suspicious marks on his abdomen before he finished closing the buttons.

"Where is that shameless woman who dared poison my brother in my hotel?" she asked in anger.

Zhong Feng looked at her without an expression on his face. He did not want to rebuke his elder sister, but how could he listen as she insulted Xiao Lei?

"Mian, I have told you not to come to my room without calling first." He said in an apathetic tone.

She looked at him with sadness and anger. How could he not see that she was doing this out of love? She had been worried that someone would harm him. Should he not be thankful? It was always like this. Nothing she did could erase the fact that she had failed him in the past.

Zhong Feng could more or less guess the thoughts that were floating through his sister's mind. However, he did not sympathise because they were her assumptions. He had tried in vain to dispel her guilt feelings towards him when he was younger. Nothing he said seemed to make a difference to her. If anything, she seemed to fall deeper into a pit she had dug for herself.

"Please leave, Mian. As you can see, I am fine." He said with a sigh.

"If I do not protect you, no one will. Shameless women are always trying to cling to you, and this one even went as far as drugging you. Your health…"

Zhong Feng cut her off immediately.

"Zhong Mian, you do not need to concern yourself with my matters. It is already quite late."

He walked to the door and opened it, indicating for her to leave. She looked at him with a mixture of emotions, hesitating to walk out. However, she had no choice because she could see that he was losing his patient.

"Will you come to the old residence this weekend? Mum is already missing you." She turned and asked after stepping out of the house.

"I will talk to her." He responded.

The deflated Mian could only leave after that without accomplishing her purpose of tearing up that Hu Lei. However, even as she left, she did not give up on her mission. She would not allow her brother to suffer under the hands of that woman.

When Zhong Feng returned to the bedroom, he found Hu Lei seated on the edge of the bed ready to go. He could not help feeling annoyed at the interruption which had broken their peace. If his sister had not come in, perhaps she would have remained by his side for the rest of the night.

"I seem to have caused trouble." She said in a wry tone.

Zhong Feng did not like seeing her like that. Her dejected appearance seemed to prick his heart. However, he did not want to talk about this matter.

"Shouldn't you compensate me for all your mischief?" he asked in a suggestive tone.

The thin-skinned Hu Lei blushed deeply at the implication.

"I am going back. Men and women should keep their distance." She spoke while standing up to leave.

Zhong Feng felt much better, seeing her like this. He even had the decency not to mention that she was the one who did not know the distance between men and women. Who had been sleeping so comfortably on his bed?
