Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife Chapter 210 – Cinderella and Prince charming

“Leng Shao stared at his reflection in the mirror. He had to admit he looked really handsome tonight but he asked himself if he was ready to let go, is this the first step for him to let go of the woman he has been secretly in love with for years? Is this the moment he restarts a new chapter in his life? Find love again? 

Taking a deep breath, he told himself not to rush and to trust the process. One step at a time.

“I have to say you look rather dashing. It seems you’re ready for your date.” His father’s voice sounded behind him. Leng Shao looked at his father through the reflection in the mirror. He saw his father was leaning against the frame of the door, his eyes boring through him.

“Aren’t you supposed to be on a business trip?” Leng Shao asked. His father chuckled and strode towards Leng Shao slowly.

His father stood beside him and patted his shoulders. “You look handsome son, clearly you carry my genes.” His father mumbled.

Leng Shao rolled his eyes. “What do you want to say, dad. Stop beating around the bush.”

Leng Shao said as he sauntered away from his father. 

He sat on the bed and gazed at his father.

“I’m just happy that you have finally decided to move on. I watched you waste your life all these years for a woman who would never be yours.”

His father said, his eyes peering into him intensely. Leng Shao had to admit his father’s words were cruel. It’s like he has been slapped across the face.

He pursed his lips in a thin line and parted them to say something but closed them at the last minute.

“You should know I don’t care about the girl you like. As long as she is good and makes you happy, I will give you my blessings. You’re my only son and it’s time you settle down. You’re not getting any younger.” His father exclaimed softly.

Leng Shao stood up from the bed and straightened his blazer. “I’m going. See you later, dad.”

Leng Shao bid his father goodbye and walked out of the room.

Sitting in his car, he looked at the address Yan Mei sent him. And started his car.

Twenty minutes later, Leng Shao reached the address Yan Mei gave to him. He realized it was a simple apartment. He walked towards it and rang the door bell.

His gaze travelled around as he waited for the door to open. 

Suddenly the door opened revealing someone Leng Shao wasn’t expecting to see.

Yan Mei pulled Leng Shao into a friendly hug.

“Hello to you too, Fen-Yan Mei.” Leng Shao chuckled as he hugged her back.

“Still a dummy I see.” Yan Mei commented as she pulled away laughing.

Leng Shao scratched his nose awkwardly.

“Oh is that a rose?! Aww Leng Shao, I didn’t know you are the romantic type.” Yan Mei teased Leng Shao. 

Leng Shao shrugged and smiled at her. She looked so beautiful…..too bad she wasn’t his. 

Okay, focus Leng Shao. It’s time to move on.

“Let’s go to meet your date for the night!” Yan Mei oblivious to Leng Shao’s thoughts grabbed his arms and pulled him inside.

Yan Mei found Su Bei standing in the middle of the room in a trance as she gaped at Leng Shao. 

Yan Mei smirked, she knew her friend was salivating at Leng Shao inwardly and she couldn’t blame her.

Leng Shao looked handsome tonight. He was wearing a black Armani suit that hang on his body perfectly making him look like he just came out of a photo shoot.

“This is my best friend, Su Bei.” Yan Mei said.

Leng Shao lips curved slightly making his dimples slightly visible. 

Su Bei breath hitched.

“Su Bei, this is Leng Shao. My best friend.”

Leng Shao finally looked at Su Bei and he found himself frozen. She was beautiful. For the first he found another woman beautiful other than Yan Mei.

She was wearing an elegant and feminine dress featuring an off shoulder design with a beautiful black lace overlay. It reached just on her knee and fits perfectly on her figure.

The outfit she was wearing wasn’t revealing like most girls who had tried to get on his bed the past few years.

Her hair which was usually pulled in a bob now topped down her shoulders and cascaded down her back.

Leng Shao swallowed and licked his lips as they eyes interlocked. He saw a faint blush taint her cheeks and a smile etched on his lips.

“Here, this is for you.” Leng Shao took a step forward towards Su Bei as he offered her the rose.

Su Bei blushed and took the rose.

“Thank you.” She mumbled as she brought it to her nostrils, sniffling it.

Leng Shao’s eyes roamed her body and his gaze met hers.

“You look beautiful, Miss Su.”

Su Bei blinked and batted her eyelashes in surprise.

“T-thank you. You look handsome too.”

Leng Shao chuckled, “Thank you.”

Yan Mei rolled her eyes at them.

“Okay, you too. Stop flirting in front of me. And leave already.”

Su Bei glared at Yan Mei, making her smile.

“Shall we go?” Leng Shao’s asked politely.

His deep voice sent a shiver along Su Bei’s spine as she blushed. She avoided his gaze and nodded her head.

“Alright then, let’s go.” Leng Shao whispered.

“Remember to bring her home early. Before midnight or the magic will disappear.” 

Yan Mei said dramatically.

Leng Shao smirked in amus.e.m.e.nt. “Alright, madam.”

Su Bei chuckled and shook her head.

“Now have fun with Prince charming, Cinderella. Remember to come home before midnight!”

Yan Mei watched them get into the car and smiled.

The moment Leng Shao and Su Left, Yan Mei turned around to get back into the house but stopped in her tracks. 

She saw him; he was leaning against his car as his gaze bore into her.
