His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy 84 MISS THIS PLACE

The woods had an old-time charm which was not found in artificial forests. The trees towered above her, creating an isolated feeling in the bottom. At the same time, it did not have the lingering scent of danger present in wild forests.

She laughed happily as she chased down a rabbit. Of course, she was not serious about the hunt or the rabbit would not stand a chance. There was also a clean brook of water deep in the water. It would have been a good place to fish, but the man following behind insisted that it was time to go back.

For the rest of the time, she found a few books in the house to read. She wanted to watch TV and catch up on web novels, but she felt as if going down that route would break the spell. All in all, the pair did not do anything productive during these days, but instead tried to relax as much as possible.

Unfortunately, the period of idleness had to come to an end.

Zhong Feng needed to return to work, and Hu Lei did not want to hide from Supreme forever. She wanted to face real life and recover everything that she had lost and find the happiness she never had. More importantly, she had not given up her goal to live a beautiful and glamorous life.

"Are you sure you want to return to the city?" Zhong Feng asked.

He looked at her in concern because she seemed exhausted and weak. In truth, though they had attempted to relax as much as possible, Hu Lei was not doing so well. Since that day she cried and they talked, she had been getting horrifying nightmares every night.

She would not sleep for more than an hour before waking up terrified, sweating and panting for breath. On more than one occasion, she had woken up with a scream. She refused to talk about the dreams, saying that it was only post-traumatic stress. It would fade with time.

Zhong Feng did not have any solutions for this problem at the moment. There was nothing that he could do but wait, at least for now. Hu Lei had made it clear that she would not go to any hospital. So he hoped that the nightmares would stop. But if they did not, he would take other steps.

"Why are asking about this when we are already in the car?" Hu Lei asked with a roll of her eyes.

Of course, she understood Zhong Feng's concerns, but she would not allow him to dwell on it. If she made the nightmares into a real problem, he would be preoccupied with the issue constantly. She did not want to become a burden to him.

Right now, she felt as if their relationship was like a fragile glass vase. She was afraid that the pressure of her problems would cause everything to shatter. Also, she did not want to be a charity case, dependent constantly on his help. Her hope was that she would be able to stand beside him on her two feet.

For now, she would fake it until she was restored into her original self.

"If you do not want to go back, we can stay." Zhong Feng responded completely serious.

"No, I want to go to Supreme and sort out the mess that my little life has probably become." Hu Lei spoke with a light laugh.

Zhong Feng frowned a little, but he started the vehicle anyway. He was not good at talking about things. He could see in her eyes that she was holding back, afraid of becoming an encumbrance. But he did not know what to say to make her believe that she was his treasure.

He sighed. She would come to realise everything on her own. Right now, what she needed most was to understand that she had control over her own life.

As they weaved out of the home and through the narrow driveway through the Azure Woods, Hu Lei looked at the property wistfully. She wondered if she would have an opportunity to come back. It was really a beautiful place, and it held a special place because it was the first home she had been in in a long time.

"I am going to miss this place." She said suddenly.

Zhong Feng looked at her turned back and smiled. It seemed that he had made the right decision in acquiring this property. If he had not offered way above the asking price, the entire land would have been turned into a resort.

Well, in a way, he had also turned it into a resort, only it was for two people.

"This will be our future home." He responded, entirely serious.

Hu Lei felt touched by his thoughts. She couldn't help being attracted to the prospect of living here. However, she did not have the confidence to establish a future with him as she was now. Though she did indeed like him and he seemed to have the intentions towards her, she did not feel worthy.

She was not resolving to give him up because she was feeling broken and flawed. Only an idiot would be thinking of setting him free in the name of love. She intended to be with him. She would never give up on someone who had touched her heart and fought so hard for her.

She wanted to become the best so that she could hold his arm and stand at the peak with him. Even if Zhong Feng did not care about these types of petty things, she did. In her heart, she knew that a man who would traverse the world for her deserved the best.

"So what is new in the future?" She asked suddenly with random interest.

Zhong Feng laughed, choosing to overlook her former morose mood. He could guess her thoughts a little, but there was nothing that he could do with words. She would know with time that he did not need or want anything but her.
