Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife Chapter 53 – Surprise

A sudden knock on the door interrupted Yan Mei and Lei Zhao.

“President Yan?”

Su Bei called out behind the door, making the two turn to look at the door, slightly feeling alarmed. Yan Mei felt her cheeks heat with embarrassment.

“Hold on a second,” Yan Mei said as Lei Zhao helped her quickly button her shirt. She pulled her skirt back on then straightened it to look presentable. Lei Zhao fixed her hair then he calmly walked back to the couch and sat comfortably as if nothing had happened.

“Come in,” Yan Mei called out loud making Su Bei open the door and came in with a straight face but her eyes were dancing with mirth.

“This is the doc.u.ment you requested for.”

Yan Mei looked at her and awkwardly nodded. She had forgotten that she had requested for a doc.u.ment before Lei Zhao came in.

“Thank you.”

She couldn’t look at Su Bei straight in the eyes because she knew Su Bei had an idea about why she took long to ask her to come in.

Su Bei turned to look at Lei Zhao and a smug grin appeared on her face. She remembered what he had said when she threatened him.

“You know if you hurt her, I would skin you alive,” Su Bei said crossing her arms across her chest.

“Why would I hurt the woman I will spend the rest of my life with?”

Lei Zhao furrowed his brows, confusion marred on his face. He didn’t know why she would think he would hurt the woman he loves. After everything his wife had gone through, Lei Zhao understood why Su Bei was protective of her. With that thought in mind, he just sighed.

Su Bei snorted, “Well, I hope you don’t hurt her for your own good.” Su Bei nodded slightly at Lei Zhao and left the office. Sensing the weird atmosphere between Lei Zhao and Su Bei, Yan Mei looked at him with wonder.

“What was that,” Yan Mei asked, c.o.c.king her head to the side.

“Apparently, your secretary slash best friend was warning me not to hurt you or she would skin me alive,” Lei Zhao replied melancholically.

“Oh.” Yan Mei muttered placidly. Warmth coursed through her. She didn’t think Su Bei will be this protective of her. Suddenly she remembered her best friend.

“I can’t believe you just did that.” Feng Mei shook her head as she roared with laughter.

“What? She just called my best friend a bitch,” Fu Xin said feigning innocently.

“You punched her at her face, Fufu! You don’t just punch a girl’s face.” Feng Mei laughed out loud.

The people at the coffee shop stared at them as they sat there laughing together.

“She shouldn’t have called you a bitch if she didn’t want to get punched. Only I have the right to bully you and call you names,” Fu Xin said with an evil smug across her face.

“Asshole,” Feng Mei mumbled, but it was enough for the other to hear.

“What did you say, sweetheart,” Fu Xin asked, raising her brows.

“I said I love you,” Feng Mei just said, pouting at the same time.

“I know you do! Look at how beautiful I am. How can someone hate me?”

Feng Mei rolled her eyes and took a sip of her coffee. Leave it to Fu Xin to be shameless.

“You know I will always protect you,” Fu Xin said after a few seconds of silence.

Feng Mei stuck out her tongue at her, “Of course you will! I’m the only one crazy enough to be your friend.”

Yan Mei didn’t notice the tear that had slipped from her eyes until she felt Lei Zhao’s stiff hand on her face, wiping the tears.

“Wifey, are you—why are you crying?” Lei Zhao’s worried voice sounded.

Yan Mei looked at him and smiled softly, “Sorry, I just remembered my best friend.”

Lei Zhao nodded, “The one in a coma?”

“Yes.” Yan Mei uttered as her answer.

Feeling his heart shake with his wife’s sudden display of sadness, he gave a suggestion.

“Do you want me to trace her whereabouts?”

Hearing this, Yan Mei shook her head as she wiped her own tears then held Lei Zhao’s hands that wiped her tears away from her cheeks.

“No… she died last year. She was in a coma for three years. I think it’s good that she died… since she was suffering a lot. I wouldn’t want her pain to prolong.”

Lei Zhao sighed. His wife was really pitiful.

“Sorry….” He said trailing off. He knew no words could ease the pain and scars in her heart.

“It’s okay. She would beat me if she sees me crying over her death,” Yan Mei said, offering Lei Zhao a sad smile.

Lei Zhao nodded in understanding, “Let’s go. I have a surprise for you,” Lei Zhao said giving her a quick kiss.

Yan Mei raised her brows, not expecting where this is coming from.

“A surprise?”

Lei Zhao nodded and grinned mysteriously.

Yan Mei turned off her computer then she picked her purse. She was eager to see the surprise he had for her.

Lei Zhao walked beside her and held her waist. They walked to her private elevator while Lei Zhao still held her waist.

Yan Mei could see her employees curiously gazing at her but they didn’t dare gossip, seeing her aloof face and the cold essence surrounding her.

The moment Yan Mei left the office, murmurs began. The silence broke since everyone was curious about the mysterious man with their president. They have never seen their president close to the opposite s.e.x!

Seeing this was like seeing something foreign!

There were rumors that the president liked women but now they just saw their president walking with a handsome man. They could clearly see how the man’s eyes glow with affection as he glanced at their president.

“Who is that man with our president?”

“Did you see him holding her waist?”

“Oh my, don’t tell me our aloof president is finally in love!”

Yan Mei had no idea about the chaos she had just caused in her own office. She got into the car and left with Lei Zhao.

After half an hour the car suddenly stopped at the beach. Yan Mei turned to look at Lei Zhao.

“What are we doing at the beach,” she asked, her face contorted with confusion.

Lei Zhao said warmly at her, “You would know soon.”

He got out of the car and went to open her door for her. Lei Zhao held her hands, his warm hand interlacing with hers had completely eased her low mood.

“Let’s go,” Lei Zhao said, licking his lips nervously. He really hopes that she likes his surprise!

They walked for a few minutes before stopping at a particular place. Yan Mei froze when she saw the scene in front of her.
