Chapter 211 - A love so sweet

Seeing her husband and remembering what Tang Mei told her about his ex-girlfriend, Yan Mei's face turned nonchalant as she stared back at him.

Without saying anything, she walked inside the room and picked up her purse. She locked Su Bei's door and placed her key under a pot where she had shown her to place it.

Striding towards him,, Lei Zhao opened the passenger's seat once she reached him. Yan Mei only stared at him as he did the simple act of courtesy of opening the door to her.

"Hmm?" Lei Zhao arched a brow at her, slightly confused. "Why are you standing there for, Wifey?" 

There was love in his voice. Yan Mei slightly narrowed her beautiful eyes at him, her lashes brushing at the bottom of her eyes as she blinked. 

Lei Zhao found her pretty, so he walked up towards her, and when he planted a soft kiss on top of her head, Yan Mei turned her head away, seemingly to avoid him. 

"Huh? Wifey, why are you like this now, oh..."

"Nothing."

With only answering his question with one word, Yan Mei walked down the stairs as she went inside the passenger's seat, making Lei Zhao sigh as he went back in the driver's seat, closing the door of the passenger's seat to secure Yan Mei. 

The moment Lei Zhao entered, Yan Mei had already put her seatbelt on. When he noticed this, his eyebrows slightly twitched as Yan Mei's demeanor was different compared to the usual. He thought she would be excited to see him, but he didn't expect that the issue of his ex-girlfriend would bother her this much.

"Want to go buy something?"

"No."

"Up for something to eat?"

"No."

"So, we now go directly home?"

"Yes."

Lei Zhao's lips turned into a tight line. All of Yan Mei's answers to all of his questions are just one-word! The man now obviously knew that she is bothered by the issue. Now Lei Zhao is thinking how he could coax her now?

"Okay then," Lei Zhao mumbled, deciding to give her silence for a while in hopes that it will calm her down. "Straight home, we go..."

***

The trip going home was incredibly silent, making Lei Zhao want to scream at the top of his lungs just for the silence to break. The moment Lei Zhao parked the car in the garage, Yan Mei unbuckled herself from the seatbelt then left the vehicle immediately, leaving her husband alone in the car. 

"Ah... this..."

Lei Zhao felt a pang of pain in his heart! With his beloved Wifey ignoring him since he had picked her up, he felt wronged, and he wanted to make things right just for them to make up! 

When Yan Mei entered the house, Lei Zhao quickly got out of the car to follow her. The moment Yan Mei entered the passcode of their door, Lei Zhao entered and had caught her by the wrist, slightly surprising Yan Mei as he both held both of her shoulders gently to make her face him. 

"Wifey, what's wrong?" Yan Mei averted her gaze as she pouted like a child, Lei Zhao chuckling slightly to enjoy seeing his sweet wife's jealous face. "Are you angry at me?"

He meant to ask her if she was jealous, but Lei Zhao didn't dare ask, so he just said another question instead. 

"No."

'Ah... my Wifey is jealous,' Lei Zhao thought as he pulled Yan Mei into an embrace, his wife's heart swooning, but she stood her ground of acting indifferent towards her husband's sweetness.

Lei Zhao sighed as he caressed her hair gently, planting a soft kiss on top of her head before he spoke. 

"I was dating Yu Yan when I was 25, and we dated for three years until she suddenly left me two years ago, alright?"

"Nngh..." Yan Mei rolled her eyes at him, "I was not asking," she mumbled, Lei Zhao sighing once more as he tried his best to coax his wife. 

"The day she left me was also the day my brother died."

When she heard this, Yan Mei's attitude shifted as he looked up to face him, feeling guilty for acting childish and jealous when his ex-girlfriend had also brought up a sensitive topic--his brother's death. 

"I'm sorry," Yan Mei apologized, her eyes showing guilt. "I shouldn't have acted this way," she mumbled, making Lei Zhao chuckle as he shook his head, disagreeing with her. 

"It's okay! Seeing you jealous makes me realize how much you love me, Wifey. I could see that you love me very much!"

Lei Zhao winked at Yan Mei, making his wife roll her eyes at him as she forced herself not to release a laugh. 

"Delusional," she commented, Lei Zhao, looking at her lovingly as he held Yan Mei's face, his thumbs caressing her cheeks. 

"There is nothing to worry. We never loved each other, anyway. We were like best friends," he said reassuringly, his eyes locked with hers. "I can guarantee you that you are the only woman I love--no one else."

Yan Mei wanted to act childish for a bit as she felt giddy deep down in her heart, hearing Lei Zhao's loving words. She slightly pouted as she narrowed her eyes at him, making him laugh at her reaction. 

"Really?"

"Is that a question you dare ask your Hubby?"

Lei Zhao pulled her closer to him, leaving no space between them as he put his forehead against hers, his voice sultry as he whispered, his breath fanning over her lips. 

"Do you want me to prove it to you in bed?"

Yan Mei laughed out loud. She was carried smoothly by Lei Zhao in bridal style. He then quickly walked up the stairs, Yan Mei's arms wrapped around his neck. 

"Stop your shamelessness! I have to finalize some other doc.u.ments for the launch!"

She meant to scold him, but her voice came out playful. Lei Zhao grinned ear to ear as he ignored her plea, giving her a quick kiss on the lips to silence her. 

"That can wait. I have to satisfy my jealous Wifey."

With that, Lei Zhao and Yan Mei had entered their bedroom. Lei Zhao had one goal plastered in mind: to satisfy his jealous wife and to make sure that she would feel how much he loves her.
