His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy-Chapter 28
BETTER NOT TO BE SNARKY
“Is it alright for me to use your shower?” Hu Lei asked after a period of silence.
She did not feel uncomfortable about bathing in a new place. After all, she had not had a permanent home for years. However, she did not know whether this king of the white castle would feel put off. It was only polite to ask.
Zhong Feng beckoned to follow him as he went up the stairs. His wide steps covered a lot of space at once and he took two steps at a time, but Hu Lei could not be bothered to run after him. She trailed behind him sadly, unwilling to disturb her body which was still recovering.
The door he opened was different from the one she had come out of earlier. When she entered, she realised that it was his bedroom. It was neat and organised, but it seemed that it was the most lived-in spot in the house.
He led her to the large bathroom which had a light soapy scent from his earlier use.
“You know you did not have to bring me to your shower. I could have used another bathroom in the house.” She said with a small laugh.
“The others have no toiletries, so this way is more efficient.” He replied.
He opened a cabinet and took out a fluffy white towel. Her lips twitched slightly as she mulled on the fact that almost everything in this house was white. How could he bear it? Wasn’t he afraid of getting snow blindness?
.....
Still, she did not say anything. It was better not to be snarky when surviving on someone else’s good graces. Her lips stretched into a sincere smile as she received the towel.
“Leave your clothes outside the door. I will get you something to wear and wash the dirty ones.” With that he left.
Hu Lei felt like she had been stuck by lightening. Who was that guy and what had he done with her evil emperor? Is this a case of transmigration? If Zhong Feng had heard her stupid thoughts, he would have pitched her plump little cheeks until she admitted her mistakes.
She shrugged and decided to go with the flow. It was not like there was much she could do anything else.
After her shower, she found a dress on the bed. She hesitated for a moment before putting it on. The piece of clothing was quite long and covered everything from the neck down, literally. The long sleeves hang over her hands, and her feet were completely concealed.
She frowned as she lifted it. Clearly, she was not wearing a dress. It was wearing her!
This dress was obviously won by a tall woman. Or perhaps, Zhong Feng had that kind of a hobby. She giggled naughtily as her thoughts went out of the box.
“What manner of terrible thing are you thinking?” A voice interrupted her corrupt mind.
How did this evildoer know that she had been thinking something bad? Was it really a case of transmigration by an immortal with keen powers of perception? Again, her mind drifted to that strange place in her mind that had a lot of garbage.
Naturally, Zhong Feng’s soul was still intact and genuine.
He could make guesses about her thoughts because he was smart. Also, he had enlightened himself about her the previous night. Every time she had leaned in to whisper something evil, she had had that giggle and bright stars in her eyes.
She cleared her throat and decided to change the topic.
“Does this dress belong to your girlfriend?” She asked.
After speaking, she cringed inwardly. It had been a casual question to fill the air. However, now that she had the words, she realised that it sounded like she was fishing. He would assume that she was interested in him even though she totally was not.
His eyes seemed to glow as he looked at her, and he gave her a genuine full smile, not those evil smirks. Though he looked ethereal in that moment, she felt a cold shiver cover her entire body.
“Do not worry. I do not have a girlfriend. There is no harem. That is better than having the harem dismissed, don’t you think?” He responded, still smiling.
Hu Lei tilted her head to the side and blinked. She had no idea what he was going on about. Was he crazy? Did he forget to take his meds?
He chuckled softly, and she felt that the sun had to have risen from the west.
“The dress belongs to my older sister.” He said before turning to leave.
Hu Lei received another blow.
Zhong Feng had a sister?
Obviously, she did not really think that he was spawned on another planet and sent down in a pod. However, judging from his stiff personality, he did not seem like he had had any siblings growing up. Moreover, an older sister…
