Chapter 195 - The perfect Husband

Yan Mei stood in front of the window as she fell into a thought.

"Are you thinking about me?" Lei Zhao whispered into her ears as he stood behind her, his chest supporting her back as she leaned back into him.

Lei Zhao kissed a nape causing shivers to run along her spine. A smile etched on his face as he turned her around, pinning her between the window and his body.

Yan Mei licked her lips and Lei Zhao's gaze fell on it. He lowered his head and crushed his lips to hers. Yan Mei kissed him back as she racked her fingers through his hair.

Lei Zhao pulled away and he stared at her.

"Let's go on a date tonight. These past few days have been tough." Lei Zhao said and waited for her reply.

Yan Mei smiled, "Hmm but on one condition."

Lei Zhao arched his brow at his wife, "What condition?"

"You have to help me pick a dress." Yan Mei said as she stared back at Lei Zhao who was looking intensely at her.

Lei Zhao grinned and pressed a kiss on her forehead.

"Anything for my queen." Lei Zhao winked at her.

Yan Mei swatted his hand and smiled.

***************

Yan Mei had finished putting on the dress, Lei Zhao had selected for her —a simple but elegant red dress that hung her body perfectly, when Lei Zhao came out of the bathroom.

"Do you need help?" Lei Zhao smirked as he strolled towards her. 

"Hmm." Yan Mei pulled her hair up. 

Lei Zhao pulled her zipper up and he put his arms around Yan Mei's waist. 

Yan Mei turned around and pushed him away.

"Go get dressed." 

Lei Zhao pouted, "Not even a kiss?" 

Yan Mei shook her hand and walked to the dresser and looked at herself in the mirror. She pulled a red lipstick and applied.

"You look absolutely breathtaking." Lei Zhao said and hugged her from behind.

"I'm going to have to gouge a lot of people's eyes tonight." Lei Zhao frowned as he gazed at her reflection in the mirror.

Yan Mei turned around and smiled. "But I won't have eyes for those men only you love, only you."

Lei Zhao pulled Yan Mei to his chest and trailed his fingers across her cheeks.

"I can't wait to remove this clothes from you when we get back."

Yan Mei blushed and pushed him away, "Pervert." Lei Zhao chortled and walked to the wardrobe to get dress.

*********************

Once they reached the restaurant, Lei Zhao got down and opened the door for  Yan Mei.

Taking her hand in his own, Lei Zhao brought it up his lips, placing a gentle kiss on it.

"Beautiful." Lei Zhao complimented Yan Mei causing her a smile to form on her face. 

"Thank you." 

Once they got inside, the manager led them to a table. 

A waiter was already waiting for them at their table.

"Welcome, Mr. and Mrs. Lei. What can I get you?"

The waiter said as he handed them the menu.

Lei Zhao ordered for them and they had a lot of fun chatting about casual stuffs.

He told her about his childhood. How bad he was but his mother and brother thought he was a saint so they shielded him. How he met his friends, Jun Mo, Henry Liu and Edward Wu. Some embarrassing moment between them.

Yan Mei laughed as she listened to his stories.  Suddenly her smile dimmed when she realized she was too relaxed and happy. That scared her.

At the back of her mind, there was a voice whispering to her that her happiness wouldn't last. Bad omens don't get happiness.

Seeing the worried look in her eyes. Lei Zhao furrowed his brows.

"Do you want to go the balcony?" Lei Zhao suddenly asked snapping Yan Mei from her thoughts.

Lei Zhao stood up and strolled towards her and stretched his hands towards her.

Yan Mei took his hand and they walked towards the rooftop. Yan Mei looked at the sky filled with stars as they stepped into the open.

"So….what are you thinking about?" Lei Zhao asked as he stood beside her. 

"Nothing." Yan Mei said as she continued to gaze at the stars.

"Wifey…." Lei Zhao said sternly. He didn't like when she kept things to herself. Lei Zhao could see the emotions brewing in her eyes.

Fear

Sadness

A hint of worry.

He wanted them to go out tonight as they have gone through a lot these past few months.

"Can we not talk about it?" Yan Mei asked avoiding his stern gaze.

"Please…." Lei Zhao sighed.

"It just…." Yan Mei trailed off.

"Don't worry….you can tell me everything."

Yan Mei took a deep. Gosh, how did she get such a perfect husband?

If someone says there is nothing like a good man, she would show him her husband.

"Everything seems too good be true. I have a loving husband, a supporting in-laws and a flourishing business. I'm afraid it's just calm before the storm. Once I feel comfortable I will be drop back to the ground and I'm scared I will drag you with me."

Yan Mei shut her eyes as a single tear dropped from her eyes.

"I wasn't born to be happy, that I have learned in a hard way." Yan Mei chuckled sadly.

"Don't say that." Lei Zhao stated.

"Like I said we would get through this. The greatest love stories always had trials but they always get through it. That is the power of love."

Lei Zhao decleared. 

"Really?" Yan Mei mumbled.

"Yes. So instead of worrying about these stuffs just enjoy the moment and make most of it. Focus on the happy moments."

Lei Zhao said as he reached over and gently pressed a kiss on her tear filled eyes.

"I want you to be happy Wifey. That is a promise I made myself the moment I met you and I'm going to do everything and anything to make you happy. I want you to be happy and I want to be happy with you."

Yan Mei sighed, "You're…."

"The perfect husband you could ask for?" Lei Zhao cheekily causing Yan Mei to laugh.

"Yes and a narcissist." 

Lei Zhao chuckled and hugged her from behind. He rested his chin her shoulder as they enjoyed the peaceful quietness of the night.
