Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife Chapter 48 – Best thing

After eating at the restaurant, Lei Zhao decided that they should take a stroll on the streets for the food to digest. Yan Mei knew he wanted to take a walk with her but his poor excuse of wanting the food to digest made her laugh out.

Lei Zhao held her hands as they walked side by side. Both of them were lost in their thoughts as they walked quietly. But the atmosphere was quite harmonious. The wind blew Yan Mei’s hair. She felt happy that Lei Zhao was by her side.

Lei Zhao threw Yan Mei a glance and saw her deep in thought with a soft smile tugged on her lips. He stroked her palm with his thumb.

“Meeting you is the best thing that has happened to me, wifey.” Lei Zhao said softly as he smiled at her.

Yan Mei swallowed the lump in her throat. She has always believed she is a bad omen but he was telling her, she is the best thing that has happened to him. Yan Mei looked at her feet so he wouldn’t see how much his words affected her.

Now she knew that this stupid man has finally won her heart.

The wind was a little chilly so Yan Mei wrapped her around her to rub off the chill.

“Here, wifey.” Lei Zhao said placing his jacket on her shoulder. The mint she smelled on him the first time she met him drifted into her nose.

“Won’t you feel cold?”

A smug grin appeared on Lei Zhao’s face.

“When I get cold, I can just hug you. You will keep me warm.”

Yan Mei rolled her eyes at his cheeky reply.

“I know you’ve your reasons why you don’t want to fell in love again.” He said softly his voice had no anger, only understanding. Yan Mei was surprised.

“I know I was being selfish this morning but the more I fall for you the more greedy I become for your love.” His voice deepened as he said.

Lei Zhao heaved a sigh when she didn’t respond. “I’m sorry for forcing you and calling a coward.”

Yan Mei shook her head. “It’s okay.”

They became quiet for a few moments before Lei Zhao spoke.

“At times I think you have been hurt badly, Wifey.”

Yan Mei bit her lips because what he was saying was the truth. She has been hurt badly that she is afraid to be happy again. She refused to let anyone in her heart because she didn’t want to get hurt or hurt the person. Yan Mei realized that she has even forgotten what it felt like to be loved and pampered by a man. Maybe she was a coward just like he said.

But this man who was holding her hand made her feel how it feels to be loved and pampered, melting her iced heart.

It scared her. She wasn’t supposed to feel those emotions again.

“Actually the first time I met you was at the club, you were the hot stranger wearing a red suit in a club. I was attracted to you the moment I saw you. Then I saw your eyes filled with so much pain and a story to tell. So at that moment, I swore to make this woman happy. I wanted to see your smile. Not the professional ones you give to your clients or the evil smile you give when you’re about to let someone suffer. I want your real smile where your eyes brighten.”

Yan Mei froze when she heard him. She remembered going to a club a few months ago but she didn’t remember anything when she woke up. Her grandpa had let his security come for her and cleared the security cameras. So she met him there?

She heaved a sigh.

“I’m afraid, you make me feel things I don’t want to.”I-I”

Lei Zhao chuckled slightly, “That makes the two of us.” He said directly his eyes brewing with emotions.

Yan Mei was shocked. The Lei Zhao she knew was shameless and lively but the man looking at her with such burning emotions in his eyes as if he can see through her made her quite speechless.

“I’m not ready, Lei Zhao.”

He nodded, “That’s okay, you’re the missing piece in my life all these years. Now that I have found you I don’t mind waiting for you.”

“What do you even like about me!? I’m moody, rude, and always fighting with you. Aren’t you tired of me?”

Lei Zhao let out a quiet laugh, “I also want to know the answer to that question. You have a bad personality, always driving me crazy and making me frustrated but I can’t let you go. My love for you grows every day. Maybe you’ve cast a spell on me. Yeah, it’s definitely a spell.”

Yan Mei chuckled when she heard him and shook her head helplessly. The shameless Lei Zhao was back.

“You have to promise me something wifey.”

“What?” She asked.

“Don’t make me wait for too long. Who knows maybe one day, you will turn and I might not be there.”

Yan Mei held her breath as her heart suddenly tightened. She stopped walking and turned to look at him. Her eyes met his and he smiled softly at her as if he didn’t say anything

“Let’s sit down on that bench.” Lei Zhao said as he walked her towards the bench.

They sat down quietly as they looked at the stars in the sky.

“My mom told me when people die they become stars and look after us from the skies.” Yan Mei said after a few moments of silence.

Lei Zhao turned to look at her and saw the nostalgic look on her face. He took her hand and squeezed it softly.

Yan Mei turned to look at him and turned to look at the stars. There were four stars which had formed a circle.

Yan Mei looked at the stars and suddenly remembered her best friend.
