Chapter 104 - Return to City M

The sound of a blow dryer echoed inside the bedroom. Lei Zhao was meticulously drying Yan Mei's hair. After the s.e.x, they had washed each other. Now Yan Mei was sitting on the bed while her husband helps her dry her hair.

This how a woman should be treated; endless pampering by her husband.

She enjoyed this happy moments with him.

She m.o.a.ned in delight with her eyes closed as his gentle hands raked through her hand. Lei Zhao shook his head. 'So dramatic sigh.'

"Wifey?" Lei Zhao called her as he turned off the blower.

"Hmm?" Yan Mei opened her eyes and turned to look at him.

"When did you realize that you love me?" Lei Zhao smirked, wrapping his arms around her waist from behind, and resting his head on her shoulder.

Yan Mei scrunched her face in confusion, "Love? Who deceived you that I love you?"

Yan Mei squealed as Lei Zhao picked her up and threw her on the bed.

"So, you don't love me, huh?" Lei Zhao asked, sitting on top of her and pinning her on the bed.

"Lei Zhao… get off me!" Yan Mei whined as she tried to wiggle him off her.

"No, not until you answer my question." He said, pinning her hands above her head.

Yan Mei groaned, "You're so childish!"

Lei Zhao chuckled, "Oh, I am?"

He queried as he jabbed his fingers into her side, causing her to erupt into laughter. Lei Zhao increased the movement of his hands, causing Yan Mei to wiggle under him.

"Lei Zhao… ha haha… stop…" Yan Mei said in between laughs, as tears started to fall from her eyes.

"No-no, I won't stop until you answer the question!" Lei Zhao retorted as he pressed his fingers harder into her sides.

Yan Mei squealed, twisting her body around.

"Fine.. fine... I love you! I love you."

Lei Zhao chortled in amus.e.m.e.nt, "What did you say? I didn't hear you!"

"I love! I love you! I love you!" Yan Mei yelled over and over until Lei Zhao released her.

He fell on top of her and guffawed. Yan Mei took deep breaths, trying to calm herself.

"Wifey.. you still haven't answered my question." Lei Zhao panted into her neck.

Yan Mei rolled her eyes, "I don't know… it's not like I'm keeping tabs on my heart. It just happened, I guess. But I can open my chest and take out my heart so you can ask her." Yan Mei said sarcastically.

She pushed him off her and hopped out of bed.

"Ouch." Lei Zhao said as he held his heart, feigning hurt.

"You're so childish. I think you're a kid trapped the body of a thirty-year-old man." Yan Mei said as she rolled her eyes. She removed her bathrobe and stood n.a.k.e.d with her back-facing Lei Zhao.

'Wifey…" Lei Zhao growled as he ogled at her body.

Yan Mei scoffed, "You're staring. It's rude."

Lei Zhao smirked, "But I can't help it. You look beautiful."

"Yeah, right. Stop being cheesy." She retorted. As she put on an underwear.

Lei Zhao chuckled and hopped off the bed. He went beside her and turned her around. Before Yan Mei could see what he was doing, he kissed her. Yan Mei was caught off guard at first, but she closed her eyes and responded when she realized Lei Zhao was kissing her.

His fingers drew circles on her belly, earning a m.o.a.n from her. Lei Zhao smiled with their lips locked together. He moved his lips to her ear, "You, my darling, are a masterpiece, so believe it when I call you beautiful."

He whispered, making Yan Mei shuddered. Lei Zhao caressed her neck with his lips, making her bit her lips.

He pulled away and kissed her forehead.

"Get dress." Lei Zhao grinned.

Yan Mei glared at him, "You're a sneaky tease. You know that right?"

Lei Zhao winked at her, "Wifey… If I don't tease you. Who should I tease?"

Yan Mei shook her head and put on a straight floral dress.

"So, what's the plan today?" Yan Mei asked.

"We can stay in bed and make love all day. What do you think, Wifey?" Lei Zhao grunted.

"Just the thought of you screaming and m.o.a.ning my name all day is a big turn on." Yan Mei's face turned scarlet.

"Lei Zhao!" She yelled, causing Lei Zhao to chuckle.

Yan Mei glared at him, but he shrugged, unaffected by her glare,

"It just a suggestion, Love. No need to get riled up; unless… you want us to."

"F.u.c.k, Shut up!" She cursed, which sounded incredibly s.e.xy in Lei Zhao's ears.

------

Since they couldn't decide on what to do, they opt for a stay-in. They were lounging on a couch watching television when the doorbell rang. Yan Mei knew both of them were not expecting a visitor.

Lei Zhao's phone rang so Yan Mei went to answer the door. She saw it was Lei Xiao Tong through the peephole. Yan Mei opened the door with a smile on her face.

"XiaoMei!" Lei Xiao Tong called out excitedly as she pulled Yan Mei into a hug.

"Mom." She beamed as she hugged Lei Xiao Tong back.

Lei Zhao heard mumbling when suddenly he heard his mother calling him.

"Mom." He responded as he hung up the call.

He walked towards her and hugged her.

"Hey, sweetheart. I wanted to check up on XiaoMei and wanted to see you both."

She hugged Lei Zhao tighter, and then she let go of him. She handed the basket she was holding to Lei Zhao.

"Lei Zhao, take these foods to the kitchen." Lei Zhao nodded and went to the kitchen.

"So… how are things between you two?" Lei Xiao Tong inquired.

"We are doing great." Yan Mei smiled as a blush crept on her cheeks.

Lei Xiao Tong chuckled as she sat comfortably on the couch.

"Oh, I'm glad things are working out for you." Lei Xiao Tong said as she held Yan Mei's hands.

Yan Mei smiled and nodded.

----

Wang Lu watched as Yan Mei opened the door for Lei Xiao Tong. She was glowing as she smiled softly at the woman.

Looking at the smile on her face, his lips unconsciously curved into a small smile.

He hasn't seen her again after that awkward meeting. A primal requisite possessed him, making him want to see her. He couldn't even sleep because once he closed his eyes, he would see her face.

Wang Lu would park at a place where no one would see at her company just to glimpse at her for the past few days, but she wasn't coming to work. So he investigated and found out where she was staying. Wang Lu was afraid something had happened to her. It was getting difficult for him to focus on work.

The indifference he had witnessed in her eyes was refusing to leave his mind. Anytime he closed his eyes, he saw her smiling happily at that man. Wang Lu's hands holding his steering wheel tightened. His heart tugged as he felt intense pain.

God, he was so pathetic suffering over a woman who had cheated-

The sound of his phone ringing snapped him out of his thoughts.

"I told you not to disturb me for the next few weeks! He roared angrily.

His secretary on the phone flinched, "Sir… I…. Sorry to disturb you, but a fire broke out in one of our stores last night."

Wang Lu's brows shot up, "What are you talking about? How did a fire break out?!"

"I don't know...it just happened. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but the casualties are a lot. You need to come back to City M."

A deep frown marred on Wang Lu's face. He knew someone did this. But what was their intention?

"Okay, I will come right away." Wang Lu hung up the call, took one look at Yan Mei's house, and drove away.

Lei Zhao, was packing the foods in the kitchen, when his phone shook, showing he has a message.

He looked at it, and his lips curved into a sinister smile.

Ye Xing: Boss, I have done what you asked me to.

Lei Zhao; Good.

Lei Zhao replied to the message and continued with what he was doing. He didn't want to risk his wife's life.

He knew that whoever harmed his wife did it because of Wang Lu. And before he finds out the person, he won't let him be around her.

This will keep Wang Lu busy for a while until he finds the culprit.
