Sometime later, Hu Lei sat down in the penthouse kitchen, drinking ginger tea while Zhong Feng prepared breakfast. She concealed her face behind the cup, refusing to look at his relaxed demeanour. She wished that she could drill into the ground and hide for a thousand years.

It had only been an hour since that incident in her apartment. Therefore, she could still remember the entire occurrence with frightening vividness. She could not seem to forget anything, from the warmth of his strong hand to the light slaps which did not feel like punishment at all.

Since that time, her face had turned into a tomato. The event would definitely be recorded in her mind as black history.

Unfortunately, Zhong Feng did not share her sentiments. If anything, he seemed completely refreshed and happy. She bit her lip in lamentation and looked up at him. Unexpectedly, he was looking right at her. She felt herself burn in embarrassment once again.

He smiled sensually at her before placing a plate with a single fluffy pancake covered in maple and chocolate syrup and multiple strawberry slices.

Hu Lei temporarily forgot about her troubles and dug into the pancake with relish. Even though the evil man had spanked her, at least he had a conscience. She smiled a little and kept forking little slices of the pancake into her mouth.

Next to her, Zhong Feng felt satisfied when he saw her in high spirits. He stretched a hand and touched her lip. She looked up like a scared little rabbit, causing him to chuckle. He took back his hand licked his thumb.

"Absolutely delicious.." His eyes had a dark twinkle.

"You... you.." She sputtered in disapproval at his flirtatious behaviour.

"It is the best chocolate syrup in the world. I consulted a grandmaster in the industry." He said with amused eyes, before turning back to his unembellished pancakes and eggs.

Hu Lei felt frustrated by his behaviour, but she could only take it out on the pancake.

"I will be busy for the next couple of weeks." Zhong Feng said suddenly.

Hu Lei nodded as she chewed and swallowed.

"I will also be quite busy. I have to participate in the movie promotions for TQA." Bo Qian had already given her the timetable and the details on the promotion events. It was going to be a busy period.

Since she had failed to show up at the movie set as promised, she needed to put in more effort. Otherwise, she would seem snobbish and untrustworthy. Actually, Hu Lei felt a lot of regret about not seeing the film being shot. Unfortunately, that entire scandal had ruined everything, making it inconvenient for her to participate.

"You should be careful during this period. The entertainment industry can be cruel. If anything happens, you should call me immediately. Don't let people play tricks on you." Zhong Feng warned seriously.

He knew that Hu Lei could protect herself in many ways. However, there were countless tricks that people accustomed to the entertainment industry would use. There was no approach too dirty in the sector if it meant getting the desired result.

"I know. I have been watching a lot of idol dramas in preparation." Hu Lei expressed with self-satisfaction.

Zhong Feng could only sigh. However, he did not mind. It didn't really matter if she could not protect herself. He would always watch over her. He would like to see who would have the guts to hurt his person. His eyes glinted briefly before his laidback demeanour was restored.

"What do you want to do today?" He inquired as she finished her breakfast.

Hu Lei tilted her head in thought. She had not done any fun things since returning because of certain health restrictions. With Ah-Feng back, it was the perfect time to let loose. But she did not know anything about entertainment in Supreme City.

"I want to go somewhere fun with interesting people." She declared.

Zhong Feng nodded even though this request was vague.

After breakfast, Hu Lei was left to clean up while Zhong Feng went to his study with a contemplative look in his eyes. He already had an idea about where to take Hu Lei. He wanted to ensure that she enjoyed herself before things got hectic once again.

He dialled a number using his private line.

"Is this real? Are you really calling me?" An excited voice spoke out, almost impairing his ears.

He frowned in displeasure.

"If I am not calling you, who am I calling?"

The other person at the end of the line laughed happily, unaffected by the brusque nature of Zhong Feng.

"What can I do for young master Zhong?"

"My girlfriend wants to have fun with interesting people." Zhong Feng said with an unconcealed pride.

The person on the other end of the line seemed to choke on his own saliva. He coughed in pain as he tried to regain his breath. He could not believe what he had just heard. Wasn't Zhong Feng rumoured to be a highly functioning android without human emotions?

Again, he had called which showed that there was something unusual going on.

"What kind of fun? What kind of people?"

Zhong Feng did not respond, but his aura seemed to seep through the phone.

"Fine, fine.. there is no need to send evil vibes. You have always rejected my invitations. This girlfriend must be special." The person seemed to get more excited. "Let me send you the details."

"Thank you." Zhong Feng felt satisfied.

The words did not bring joy to the person on the other end. Instead, they seemed to cause an eerie feeling. It was like a mountain of pressure was pressing down along with those words.

"I couldn't possibly accept your gratitude." Nervous laughter accompanied those words.

"I will see you later." With that, Zhong Feng disconnected the call. historical
