His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

The movie was exceptional as a commercial film. Most of the people present at the premiere loved it, including some of the popular actors and general celebrities who had been invited to raise the profile of the event. Hu Lei also liked the way the movie had been put together. It was fast-paced and had a lot of action, albeit a little too flamboyant.

She did not feel like her book had been butchered as most authors did when their movie adaptations did not include every single detail of their story. The story felt quite complete. Perhaps it was because she had not been too deeply attached to the novel. Regardless, in the end, she was satisfied.

After the screening, she did not wait around for more interviews. She headed straight home to spend a little quality time with her husband.

In the past few weeks, he had been busy travelling and at work, and when he was around, he seemed a bit preoccupied. She had become a little concerned about him, but she could not determine if he was just tired or there was something actually wrong.

When she stepped into the house, she took a shower and then dragged the man out of his office. She had one goal which was to find out what Zhong Feng was up to. Unfortunately, her one-track focus caused her to miss the latest update on the Murong scandal. She remained unaware that in the short time frame after the premiere someone had published evidence regarding her relationship with Lu Liang.

"What has been on your mind lately?" Hu Lei asked as she prepared a simple pasta dish for Zhong Feng. She had been cooking almost every night, claiming that she needed to practise her culinary skills.

The man looked at his little wife and smiled. She looked ridiculous with her kitten themed pyjama shorts and shirt, paired with a cute rabbit headband. He could not believe that he had been able to snag such a cute woman.

"There is not much, just the usual." He responded calmly.

Hu Lei noticed a quick flash in his eyes as he spoke and knew that he was hiding something. She raised the spatula which she was using to stir the red sauce and pointed it threateningly at him.

"Do you really want to lie to me?" She smiled.

Zhong Feng felt a little shiver at that seemingly innocent smile. However, he did not back down.

"I don't know what you mean." He wanted to tell her, but he was also reluctant to make her worried.

"I can find out what I want, Zhong Feng. But, I would rather hear it from you." Her eyes became a little more intense. She already had inkling about the problem.

Even though she was not involved in the messy underworld anymore, she could still find information. But she had decided not to be connected to that world again after getting the second chance in life and with Ah-Feng.

Zhong Feng knew that Hu Lei was genuinely steamed when she called him by his full name. He sighed before he decided to confess.

"There has been a lot of movement by various organisations in Supreme City." He said.

Hu Lei turned back to the sauce. "They are coming after me." Her tone was matter-of-fact.

"My people have been able to intercept some of the mercenaries who have taken up the assignments. I have been monitoring the online forums for more information. All I have been able to find out is that the assignment is to capture you alive. I can only identify the threats after a mercenary accepts the request officially." He paused a bit.

"The problem is the rogue mercenaries who do not follow the industry rules. Someone might attempt to capture you and leverage you against the group which posted the request. Moreover, that organisation probably has other plans in place to recapture you."

Hu Lei remained silent as she looked at the red sauce.

"I am attempting to follow the little crumbs on the dark web to find the mastermind, but they are careful. The setup of that organisation seems complicated, so they have a lot of protection. For now, I can only settle for weakening the connected corporations by taking away their financial power until they have no protection left." He added with an irritated frown.

Hu Lei turned and smiled. "Sometimes I forget that you used to be a big geek."

Zhong Feng could see that it was an attempt to change the subject. "I am still a geek."

"I can't really see it. Mmmh, maybe if you had glasses." She teased.

The man appeared behind her without warning and grabbed her waist. She squealed.

"If I am a nerd, then what are you?" He asked, bending to bite her ear gently.

Hu Lei giggled. "I am, of course, the bad girl who forces you to do her homework."

The two people continued building their crazy scenario until the little bad girl was pressed down by the nerd who was actually a big bad wolf.
