Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife Chapter 76 – Eternity.

When Yan Mei came out of the restaurant, she saw Lei Zhao leaning on her car with his arms across his chest. She squinted her eyes to make sure she was not hallucinating. When she saw it was really him; she went up quickly to him, and hugged him. She laid her cheeks contentedly against his chest. The moment she was in his arms it was like all her worriedness were taken away. 

She heaved a sigh, and relaxed; now that he was here, she felt safe. She trusted him as long as he was with her, she knew nothing bad could happen to her. The pain in her heart disappeared the moment his scent drifted into her nose. 

Lei Zhao chuckled the moment they pulled apart, “Wifey, I didn’t know you miss me that much.” 

A blush crept on Yan Mei’s cheeks when she realized what she had done. She looked up at him and glared at him. Yan Mei noticed he was wearing a pair of blue jeans and a black t-shirt, paired with converse. They both stared at each other for a couple of moments before Lei Zhao cleared his throat. Pulling her out of her trance.

She narrowed her eyes when she saw the red rose, he was holding; she didn’t see it when she hugged him earlier.

“Is this for me?” She inquired.

“Yes.” Lei Zhao stated, smiling at his wife who looked beautiful as always. He saw someone selling it in traffic and he suddenly thought of his wife so he bought it.

“A beautiful rose for Mrs. Lei.” Lei Zhao said softly as he bowed and offered the rose to her.

Yan Mei smiled radiantly as she reached out, accepting the rose. “Thank you, Mr. Lei.” She said as she stood on her tiptoes and planted a kiss on his cheeks.

Lei Zhao’s heart sipped a beat as he stared at her as she tucked her hair behind her ears looking intently at the rose with a smile tugged at the corners of her lips. Her smile was all that he had wished for when he saw the rose and seeing her with a smile on her face made his heartbeat rose.

“You’re welcome,” He whispered.

“So, do you like it?” Lei Zhao asked scratching the back of his neck.

“I love it!” Yan Mei beamed.

“What are you doing here?” Yan Mei asked after a few seconds.

“I went to pick you up at work but your secretary said you are here for a meeting. So, I came to wait for you.” Lei Zhao explained.

“Oh, so you’ve been waiting for a long time?” 

Lei Zhao smirked and shook his head, “There is no such thing as a long time when I’m waiting for you. I can wait for eternity as long as you ask me to.”

Warmth rushed through Yan Mei. She felt her heart thumping as she gazed into his eyes.

“Wifey, are you touched?” Lei Zhao chuckled as he flickered her nose.

Yan Mei snorted, “who is touched?!” she exclaimed as she avoided his gaze to hide the emotions brewing in her eyes.

Lei Zhao chuckled, “Alright let’s go.”

Yan Mei noticed several people passing them and most of them were giving them an envious stare. She noticed the women throwing deadly glares at her.

She rolled her eyes and nodded, “Alright.

When they got home, they started preparing dinner. Lei Zhao as usual was the chef while Yan Mei assisted him.

He was cooking noodles because she suggested it. Yan Mei watched his every move. She was worried about his reaction if she tells him she met her ex-husband today and he insulted her. 

She watched as he drained the noodles from the boiling water. Without thinking, Yan Mei just walked behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist. She felt him stiffened when she felt her presence.

Yan Mei felt like she needed this moment. After her encounter with Wang Lu today, she needed to feel his warmth.

Lei Zhao chuckled and placed his hand on top of hers.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.”

Lei Zhao put the noodles in a bowl and turned around to face her. He placed his hands below her butt and carried her up so she could sit on the counter.

“Did something happen at the meeting?”

Yan Mei shook her head and put up a fake smile.

“Good. Wait, the food will be ready in a few minutes.” Lei Zhao said as he pulled away. 

After ten minutes, Lei Zhao served the food. He twirled the noodle around his fork and brought it to her lips.

Yan Mei opened her mouth and eat the nodded. 

“It’s delicious!” 

“Of course, it is; it was prepared by me,” Lei Zhao said bluntly.

“Enjoy your meal.”

Yan Mei smiled and nodded. She enjoyed this moment that she was having dinner with her husband. The peace it brought her. She would tell him that she met Wang Lu after they finish eating. She didn’t want to destroy this happy moment.

“So how was work?” Lei Zhao asked

“Good.” She replied.

‘I’m looking for a vice president. I realized I should share the burden with someone now that I’m married.”

Lei Zhao raised his brows, “Oh, do you have anyone in mind?��

Yan Mei shook her head and sighed.

“No, I will conduct an interview next week.”

Lei Zhao nodded, “Alright. Let me know if you need help.”

“Okay.”

After they finished having dinner, Yan Mei went to take a bath as Lei Zhao washed the plates. 

When she finished bathing, she wore Lei Zhao shirt which reached just her mid-thigh.

Lei Zhao who was sitting in the living room listening to the news on the television looked up at her when she cleared her throat.

Lei Zhao eyes traveled across her body and he swallowed the lump in his throat.

“Wifey, are you trying to seduce me?” Lei Zhao asked as he grinned roguishly. 

Yan Mei widened her eyes and fidgeted under his gaze.

“No, I-I just wanted to—” Yan Mei trailed off. She didn’t want to tell him that she wore it because she felt warm wearing his t-shirt. She didn’t want to get teased by him.

“I can take it off if you want me to.” Lei Zhao squinted his eyes as an unknown light passed through her eyes.

He realized his wife has been behaving weirdly since he picked her up from the restaurant.

‘Did something happened?’
