Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife Chapter 29 – Mission

When they got home, they saw a man waiting for them in front of their house. Lei Zhao raised his brows when he saw the person standing there.

“Ye Xing?” Lei Zhao asked with uncertainty. Lei Zhao remembers that he was on a mission so why was he back, looking like a living corpse?

Yan Mei looked at the man and frowned slightly. He was good looking, he had dirty blond hair that was styled yet wavy. His jawline was sharp, and his nose was slightly upturned. His lips were full and surrounded by a stubble of his beard. His eyes were bloodshot, his skin paler and his brows were furrowed with fatigue. He looked familiar but she couldn’t remember where she has seen him before.

“Lei Zhao.” Ye Xing whispered with a sigh of relief.

“What are you doing here?” Lei Zhao asked as he turned to glance at Yan Mei.

“We need to talk..” Ye Xing trailed off when he saw Yan Mei behind Lei Zhao. He was anxious when he saw Lei Zhao that he didn’t notice the woman behind him. ‘Wait, isn’t this woman, the same woman they saved the other day?’

“Is this a bad time?” Ye Xing asked as he stared at Yan Mei.

Lei Zhao pulled Yan Mei into his arms and introduced them.

“Wifey, this is Ye Xing my assistant” Ye Xing widened his eyes when he heard Lei Zhao. ‘Wifey?!”

“Ye Xing, this is Yan Mei, my wife.”

“Wife?” Ye Xing asked with a shocked look on his face. When did Lei Zhao get married? Didn’t he just meet this woman about a month ago?

“Yes.” Lei Zhao answered.

Ye Xing swallowed the lump in his throat and turned to look to Yan Mei.

“Nice to meet you, young miss.” Yan Mei nodded slightly. Ye Xing knew that she was a cold person from his investigation last time so he wasn’t offended.

“Let us go inside.” Lei Zhao’s voice sounded breaking the stiff atmosphere.

Once inside, Lei Zhao led Ye Xing to his study, while Yan Mei sat in the living room watching television.

“I thought you were on a mission what happened?” Lei Zhao asked as he stared at him.

He stood up from the chair and knelt in front of Lei Zhao.

“I’m sorry boss, I failed the mission. We got besiged by the enemy. It seems someone leaked our entire plan to them. They knew all our moves and where we were hiding. We suffered from a deadly sneak attack from them.”

Lei Zhao clasped his hands together as he listened to him.

“How many people did you take for this mission.”

“Reporting, thirty people participated in this mission. Ten dead, five disfigured and the rest were badly injured. They’re barely responding to treatment.”

Ye Xing felt a shiver along his spine. The temperature in the room decrease as a Lei Zhao’s whole temparement changed. He looked like a wounded lion now.

Ye Xing knew Lei Zhao was angry. He loved all the people in the team as his family so he was angry they got hurt. He really hates betrayal, he has seen how ruthless Lei Zhao punish those who betrayed him.

“Have you found the mole yet?” He asked coldly.

“No, boss”. Lei Zhao tapped his finger on the table. The room became pin drop silence. Ye Xing felt every second that went by was torture for him.

“Get up, you’re badly injured aren’t you?”

Ye Xing looked up in shock at Lei Zhao. He thought he had hidden his wounds from Lei Zhao. He didn’t want him to see him as a failure.

“Yes Boss.” Lei Zhao face soften gradually. Ye Xing was like a brother to him. He was the second best person in the team if he got badly hurt then he could only imagine the fate of the rest of the people.

“Go and rest, We will leave tomorrow morning. Call Jun Mo, tell him he will be leaving with us to look at their wounds.”

Jun Mo was the best doctor, Lei Zhao has ever met, if he believes someone can save his teammates then is him.

Ye Xing nodded.

“Okay, Boss.”

Ye Xing and Lei Zhao came downstairs.

Ye Xing respectfully bid farewell to Yan Mei.

“Miss, please I’m leaving.” Ye Xing said as he bowed respectfully at Yan Mei.

Yan Mei raised her brows suspiciously. She can see the high level of respect Ye Xing was giving her. Now she was curious about the job her husband does to have an assistant.

“Okay.” Yan Mei responded briefly.

Ye Xing retreated.

Lei Zhao came to sit beside Yan Mei on the sofa. “So, what are we watching?”

“We are not watching anything. I on the other, I’m watching How to kill your husband.” Yan Mei tells him, trying to ignore his presence.

“Wifey, you have said you will kill me twice today. Don’t tell me, you really want to be a widow at such a tender age.?”

Yan Mei rolled her eyes, looking around the room bored. “Hmm, if It’s the only way to get rid of you why not?”

Lei Zhao chuckled. “I love you too wifey, no need to say it out loud.” Yan Mei’s body stiffened when she heard him. She didn’t know how to refute his words. Should she say that she doesn’t love him? But that will be weird. So, she decided to ignore him.

The atmosphere became a little awkward, Lei Zhao suddenly cleared his throat.

“Wifey, I will be traveling tomorrow morning. I have to take care of some business.” Yan Mei turned to look at him when she heard him.

“Oh, how long will you take?” Yan Mei asked indifferently, but Lei Zhao still heard the slight difference in her tone.

“Three days, try not to miss me.” Lei Zhao said with a wink. Yan Mei snorted.

“Who will miss you?!” Lei Zhao smiled and pulled her into his arms hugging her tightly as if to engraved how her body feels in his heart.
