191 DO SOMETHING FUN

"I thought you had decided not to come." Shun jumped up from his seat as soon as Zhong Feng and Hu Lei were brought into the room.

"Why would we miss out on free food?" Hu Lei laughed, even though she felt a little guilty. She had spent too much time shopping, causing them to be late.

"Then feel free to eat to your heart's fill." Shun felt generous since it was not his money. It would be better if they spent a little more.

Wang Che looked at the person offering people his money so freely and shook his head. He then turned his eyes to Hu Lei. Standing next to the imposing Zhong Feng, she looked miniscule. Moreover, her smile gave her an adorable and slightly silly appearance.

He could not imagine her riding a motorcycle and facing a gun head on. Moreover, even if he had seen that she was extremely athletic in in Secret Realm, he could not picture her dodging bullets. He wondered whether he was mistaken about this matter.

While he was pondering, he noticed Zhong Feng looking at him with a cold and hostile glint in his eyes. It seemed that he had been staring at Hu Lei for one moment too long. He smiled politely at the two of them.

"This is my friend, Wang Che." Shun was oblivious to the tension in the room.

Hu Lei smiled at Wang Che in a friendly manner, causing Zhong Feng to be even more dissatisfied.

"It is a pleasure to see you again. I hope you remember us." She said with laugh.

"Of course, it is a pleasure. Please, feel welcome." Wang Che ushered them in with the grace of a refined host.

Zhong Feng and Hu Lei sat opposite the other two. The atmosphere was a little awkward because they were not familiar with each other. However, the setting had a comfortable feeling which helped in making the group a little more at ease. The restaurant that Shun had chosen was a local eatery. It was rated as the best for traditional cuisine in the world.

"Hu Lei, I have heard that you ride a motorcycle." Wang Che said without preamble.

The faces of the other two men in the room darkened immediately. Zhong Feng's eyes sharpened in annoyance as he looked at this man who was blatantly hitting on his woman while he was right there. His aura became a little icier.

However, he had no choice but to calm down when Hu Lei jabbed him with her painful elbow. Shun, on the other hand, wanted to slap this man. Couldn't he wait until they took a cup of water before beginning his indecent acts?

"I do. How did you know?" Hu Lei answered cheerfully, but she felt a little tense. Had this man be investigating her? Though she did indeed own and ride a motorcycle, she did not use it often. It was unusual for him to ask about this.

"I own Clarion Motor City, and it seems that you made quite an impression." Wang Che responded without a hint of unnaturalness.

Hu Le felt that this was not the entire truth, but she decided not to overthink the situation. She wanted to live a life without obsessing about the motives of people around her. If something bad did happen, she was confident that she could handle it.

"That is so cool." Shun interjected with curious eyes. "You do not look like the type to be involved in such rough activities. Where did you learn to ride?"

"He-he, actually, I learnt in your homeland." She smiled with a hint of nostalgia.

"Eh, how comes I can't ride?"

"You cannot compare a genius with an idiot like you." These harsh words were spoken by Wang Che, who still maintained a princely aura.

"Can't you give me some face in front of my friends?" Shun looked angrily at Wang Che.

Hu Lei could not help laughing.

"Actually, it is not that difficult. I started riding when I was fifteen." She spoke to Shun.

Shun was easily distracted by these words, and he forgot about Wang Che's annoying words immediately. He looked at Hu Lei up and down thoroughly.

"Do they make motorcycles that small?"

Hu Lei felt aggrieved by the incredulous mocking tone of Shun's voice. It seemed like he was shocked beyond words. She looked at the silent Zhong Feng with moist pitiful eyes, silently asking him to defend her from this insult. However, who knew her man's EQ had dropped again?

"I also want to know." Zhong Feng looked at her with unrepentant curiosity.

"You… can't you see that he is making fun of me?" She pouted. "For your information, I was already fully grown when I was fifteen."

She looked at Shun and Zhong Feng in turn with a satisfied expression, even a hint of smugness. However, there was only pity in their eyes. Even Wang Che seemed to sympathise with her. Zhong Feng placed his hand on her shoulder and pulled her into his chest in comfort. She tilted her head in confusion.

The three people laughed because Hu Lei could not find anything wrong with what she had said. With this, most of the tension in the room was relieved, and they began chatting like friends. Even Zhong Feng who tended to seal his mouth in social situations responded and contributed now and then. Sharing the meal made the four people relax further, especially with the accompanying drinks.

"Hey, let's do something fun. The night is still young." Hu Lei suggested once the table had been cleared.

"Tomorrow is a workday. You should try to rest." Zhong Feng rejected the idea immediately.

"Don't be an old party pooper. Anyway, who would fire any of you if you do not show up for work?" Shun said with a brave and daring spirit.

"I can be fired by a lot of people." Hu Lei was already slightly drunk. "Wait, I was fired today."

Shun and Wang Che looked at Zhong Feng in unison. As far as they knew, Hu Lei was under contract with Sonata Publishing, which had been acquired by Zhong Industries. Did he fire his own girlfriend? If he did not, who dared to?

"What happened?" Zhong Feng asked grimly.

"He-he, someone thought I was not pleasing to the eye." She laughed a little. "Anyway, the point is, we can party all night."

Zhong Feng's face darkened immediately at her carefree manner. However, after he thought about it, he could only accept the facts. Hu Lei was a person who liked to be in the middle of fun things. Being a writer confined her to a lonely life. Moreover, he never went out often, so she did not have a chance to go out. He nodded.

"Yes, let's do this." A certain energetic man jumped up from his seat.

"Where are you going?" Wang Che pulled him back just when he was about to step out of the room. The group realised that they did not know where they could go.

"Perhaps the suave young master Wang has a suggestion?" Hu Lei smiled, ignoring the discontent look on Zhong Feng's face.
