Chapter 98 - NEVER FORGET MY PROMISES



The consultation and the numerous medical tests took about three hours. However, the final results could not be given immediately. Hu Lei was tired and felt relieved because she did not like the environment. The beeping machines, the drawing of blood and various scans reminded her of things that she wanted to forget.

When she left the final examination rooms, she found Zhong Feng waiting for her outside. Immediately, she felt the stress in her body ebb away. She had not even realised how tense her body has been.

"How was it?" he asked, touching her head gently.

"It was the worst thing possible." She replied in good humour, even though she meant the words.

"I am sorry." He took her cold hands into warm ones which engulfed completely.

"What are you talking about? I could have escaped if I wanted." She stuck out her pink tongue cutely at him.

His eyes darkened in overwhelming desire as he looked at her little tongue sandwiched between two plumb lips. For a moment, he almost bent down and captured that seductive mouth with his. However, as he leaned in, the door behind Hu Lei opened.

"If it isn\'t the young master… please mind your manners in the hospital." Doctor Shui spoke in an amused voice.

Zhong Feng felt that he had been too lenient with the doctor, causing him to be unrestrained. More importantly, he did not want anyone else to see his Hu Lei being cheeky. She was too damn adorable when she had that twinkle of mischief.

He pulled her into himself, holding her beneath his warm arm. She looked up at him with slightly reddened cheeks. His arm tightened a little more.

"Speak." He said coldly.

"I wanted to let you know that the results will not be out until next week. You can leave." Doctor Shui reported, looking at the couple.

Hu Lei frowned, but she did not say anything. She had felt a little tense about the check-up from the beginning, so she did not feel good about waiting for multiple days. However, there was nothing she could do. In her heart, she also knew that she wanted to learn the results alone, just in case.

She nodded, stopping Zhong Feng from saying anything contrary. She did not want this matter to escalate.

"What is my reward?" She asked suddenly, changing the subject.

Zhong Feng could tell that she was trying to conceal the fact that she wanted to learn the results alone. He felt his heart hurt for this girl who always tried to be strong and bright. He hoped that there would be a day when they could be completely as one.

"Do not worry. I have not forgotten about it. I will never forget any of my promises to you." He said gently, giving her a subtle smile.

Doctor Shui, who had been fed dog food, felt like he had made a mistake by coming out of the lab, especially with the amount of work he had. It seemed that the doting of the famously cold master with an allergy to women did not know any bounds.

He should have known this fact when Zhong Feng had insisted that he conduct all the tests personally. He had been forbidden from using lab technicians. He could also not store any information or use her name in any of his files. Though no reason was given for these instructions, it was clear that Zhong Feng was afraid that the information would fall into the wrong hands.

"Then, I will get back to work." He said suddenly, hoping to break the joyful mood and draw attention to his unfair treatment.

However, when he looked up from his frustrated thoughts, he realised that he was all alone. In the distance, he saw Hu Lei tucked in the arms of his cruel employer. It was obvious that these two people did not even care about him. They had probably not even seen him as they left.

With a drooping head, he went back to the laboratory.

The couple in the distance had already moved on from the medical tests. They were flirting, lost in their own world, forgetting even about their location. Hu Lei was trying to get the secret of the reward out of Zhong Feng. However, he was being completely mysterious.

They walked around the hospital until they stood outside a large room. Inside, Hu Lei could see the TV showing a medical documentary about brain surgery. She could not hear the sound, but she could see it was pretty complex stuff.

In front of the TV sat a lone teenage boy. He was looking at the TV with unwavering focus, judging from his upright posture. Hu Lei felt an emotion that she could not pin down. She looked up at Zhong Feng.

"That is Murong Fai." He explained without waiting for the question.

Hu Lei looked again at the boy and felt some complex emotions welling within her. If that boy was her brother, he was an important part of her father. She felt confused about the next step to take because everything still felt raw.

"Why is he here?" She asked, ignoring the confusion.

"He needed good medical treatment, so I made a deal with the Murong family." He responded simply.

Actually, the matter had not been so simple. It had been a delicate negotiation process for him. He had wanted two things from the Murong family on behalf of Hu Lei: Dong Chen Publishing and Murong Fai. He had wanted to prepare thoroughly for Hu Lei\'s return.

Unfortunately, his position had been, and still was, quite precarious. He could not let anyone know how critical these two were to him. If this matter was discovered, his opponents would not only have leverage over him. It would expose Hu Lei to danger because of her importance to him.

But Zhong Feng was not a simple man.

He had managed to kill two birds with one stone and reinforced his reputation as a callous and unfeeling businessman. He had negotiated a low price for the purchase of Dong Chen Publishing by offering treatment for Murong Fai at the exclusive Zhong family clinic. Since the situation in the Murong family was still delicate, it had not been difficult to achieve his goals.

To other people, he had seemed like a person who would not hesitate to use a child as a negotiating tool. But he did not care about these wagging tongues. He had provided exceptional healthcare and a safe environment for the boy, and no one had been suspicious of his motives.

He looked at Hu Lei. For her, he could be an angel and a devil.

Hu Lei remained perfectly still before making a decision.

"Ah Feng, wait for me here for a moment."
