Hu Lei rushed to the bathroom and proceed to empty the contents of her stomach. She hated throwing up, but there was nothing she could do in the situation. When she was done, she felt weak, fevered and dizzy. But it was not too much.

She could still stand steadily which meant she could walk. She cleaned her mouth and face before leaving the bathroom.

"Miss Hu Lei!" a voice called out as soon as she stepped outside.

It was Kong Ou, lying in wait for her. She glanced at him before turning to walk away. There was no need for her to talk to him. Furthermore, she still felt terrible.

"Why are you with someone like Zhong Feng?" He asked out loud.

She stopped in her tracks and turned around to face him. Kong Ou felt satisfied after gaining her attention. She was finally looking at him. With this thought in mind, he felt emboldened.

"You should not be with someone like that. You should be with someone who will allow you to shine as you were meant to do. Look at what he has done to you. He has broken your wings and turned you into a pet." He paused. "You are even forcing yourself to vomit so that you can remain thin for him. You are worth more than this."

He had pushed the door of the ladies room a little out of concern after he had followed her plus he could see the condition of her body. It was not hard to tell that she had been puking inside.

Kong Ou did not feel like he had said or done anything wrong. He was a doctor, so he had seen what food disorders could do to people, especially young women. When he realised that his dream woman had joined the ranks of those poor and ill patients, he felt terrible. He felt that he had failed her.

"Do not worry. I will get you the help you need. You can shine again." He spoke in a heartfelt way such that one would assume he actually knew her.

He reached toward her to grasp her arm. Hu Lei grasped that arm and twisted it behind his back and slammed his face against the wall. His head hit it painfully, and his eyes watered. For a short moment, he felt like he had fainted.

Hu Lei applied pressure on the wrist of the hand which had reached to touch her.

"With one little push, I can end you career as a doctor." She spoke coldly.

He tried to move to speak, but she applied pressure on his neck with her other hand.

"You do not know me, and I have no interest in a scum man like you. You will not speak to me in the future, or the consequences will be very unpleasant to you. Most importantly, if I hear you speak another disparaging word about Zhong Feng, I will end you. Do you understand?" She asked.

Kong Ou was about to respond to her when he noticed a powerful and cold man walk into the hallway. His face, which was turned in that direction, held a trace of satisfaction. In fact, he smiled at the person walking towards them, even though his head throbbed and his hand was in pain.

His happiness came from letting Zhong Feng see the true Hu Lei. There was no way he could continue being with her once he saw how violent she could be. Perhaps he had not believed his story, but now he would see her for who she was.

Men like him did not like strong and independent women. They liked cute harmless kittens who would rub their faces against their chests like pets, begging for food. The image of Hu Lei behaving like that remained in his mind.

'Do not worry. I will save you.' He thought to himself.

In his mind, he imagined Zhong Feng rejecting Hu Lei cruelly. She would turn to him for support, and he would help her. He would not treat her like an accessory. Somehow, he had forgotten about his girlfriend and young child. It was almost comical.

His thoughts were currently only focussing on his blissful future with his dream woman. His smile grew wider as Zhong Feng reached them.

"Xiao Lei, what have I said about fighting?" Zhong Feng asked sternly.

Her face looked pale, and there was a layer of sweat on her skin. He reached for her and found that her skin was colder than usual. She had obviously overexerted herself. He should have come quicker instead of listening to his sister.

She released the good doctor, and he fell to the ground. Even in her weak state, Hu Lei was still powerful enough to take care of the man. However, when she was stepped back into Zhong Feng, everything hit her body. Her entire body seemed to lose strength.

Zhong Feng picked her up in his arms, cradling her carefully.

He threw a sharp look at Kong Ou who was watching the scene in confusion. The matter had not played out how he had pictured it. Was he missing something?

"I am keeping an eye on you, Doctor Kong Ou." Zhong Feng's words were sharp, cutting through to his marrow.

At that moment, Kong Ou understood that he had not made the best decisions through the evening. It was no gift or joke to be in Zhong Feng's radar. Powerful men like him were to be feared because they were, more often than not, above the law. And he had heard rumours about this man.

With that last scathing look, Zhong Feng walked out with Hu Lei in his arms.

"What are you doing? I can walk." Hu Lei said with a red face.

Zhong Feng did not seem to hear her question.

"I have been too lenient with you. It seems that I have to enforce some discipline." He said darkly.

Hu Lei shivered a little at the tone in voice. The darkness which always seemed to be plaguing her mind seemed to reach out to the delicious sensuality of Zhong Feng's words. Almost as if some parts of her were excited at the implications…

She shifted in his arms and suppressed that darkness as she always did when it arose. However, she could not help noticing that it was getting harder to keep that consuming demon in her mind in check, especially now that Zhong Feng had revealed his own dark side.
