Chapter 244 - Forever yours

Both of them had quickly drifted off to sleep. Lei Zhao slept on top of Yan Mei's chest, allowing him to sleep there as if he was a child. 

Yan Mei did not mind it--she was too tired to mind that a big man such as Lei Zhao was sleeping on top of her. 

Hours had passed, and a small glimmer of sunlight had already passed through the curtains. Yan Mei slowly opened her eyes and saw that Lei Zhao was now already on his bedside, his arm wrapped around her waist. 

Yan Mei turned to her side. She watched him sleep as he remembered the conversation that they had yesterday. 

Yan Mei was asking for a divorce because she was worried about ruining Lei Zhao's image. Even though she knew that his family is kind enough to investigate even for them, she felt wrong to be staying with him. 

With that in mind, her eyebrows furrowed. She now felt scared than ever of revealing the identity of her husband. 

Heck, she is even afraid now if she could still be married to him--if she could stay by his side despite what had happened. 

Yan Mei mindlessly reached out to Lei Zhao's face, her fingers moving some of his hair away from his eyes. 

Yan Mei's eyes reflected sadness and pain as she worried more and more for her husband. 

She even wondered if she still deserved him. Why is Lei Zhao still so kind after seeing those videos?

If he claimed that he had watched the video before in his office before it even played in the launch, how could he ask her out and go to Disneyland?

If it were some other man, they would have long left Yan Mei. They would have already doubts about their wife--more so if there was no evidence shown to him. 

Feeling that someone was touching his face, Lei Zhao furrowed his brows, slowly opening his eyes to meet Yan Mei's eyes. The moment their eyes locked, Yan Mei's body froze, suddenly becoming nervous even though they shared an exciting, intimate moment last night. 

"Wifey... isn't it too early to be awake?" Lei Zhao asked, grogginess evident in his voice. "Go back to sleep," he said, pulling her in his arms as he planted a kiss on top of her head. 

Yan Mei blinked her eyes a few times. How can Lei Zhao be this kind to her even though he saw the video? How can Lei Zhao be this sweet even though she asked about having a divorce yesterday?

"Lei Zhao," Yan Mei called out his name, "Why are you so kind to me, despite what happened?"

Hearing that, Lei Zhao opened his eyes once more. He gave her a small smile as he tucked some of Yan Mei's hair behind her ear, giving her his answer. 

"Yan Mei, I'm your husband. Why would I be so cold to you?"

"But," Yan Mei's eyebrows creased, "You saw the video. I could show no proof. How could you believe this?"

When Lei Zhao heard this, he just looked straight in his eyes. He let out a small sigh as he planted another kiss on Yan Mei's head, the woman feeling warm in her heart with how Lei Zhao treated her. 

"You said that it wasn't you. At first, I was scared--I thought if it was you. But with you adamant, saying that it wasn't, with the struggles you're facing, I know I had to believe you."

"Lei Zhao..."

Yan Mei felt like she wanted to cry. With her eyes turning glassy early in the morning, Lei Zhao slightly widened his eyes in surprise to see her eyes watering. 

"H-hey..." Lei Zhao started wiping her tears away, "Don't be so gloomy now. There was doubt in my heart, yes... but my love is still here," he said, leading Yan Mei's hand to his chest. 

"Lei Zhao... you're so kind," Yan Mei said, her tears escaping from her eyes. A small smile appeared on her husband's face as he spoke, worried about the issue as well. 

"If you say you didn't, then you didn't," he said, Yan Mei nodding. "Still, we have to investigate, alright? I want the confirmation formally, too," he said, Yan Mei slowly nodding once more. 

"Or course."

With that, Lei Zhao pulled Yan Mei in his arms again. 

"Did I hurt you last night?"

With his question, Yan Mei's ears reddened. It was as if she was a young girl having to experience s.e.x when they had been doing it countless times already!

Yan Mei coughed, realizing that last night that Lei Zhao's rage when she suggested the divorce turned her on. 

It was then that she also realized that one of her kinks was being spanked by him on the bed. 

"Ah..." Yan Mei embarrassingly hid her face on Lei Zhao's chest, "No, You didn't hurt me," she mumbled against him, but it was audible enough for Lei Zhao to hear. 

A smug grin appeared on the man's face, "You liked it?"

"O-oh you," Yan Mei looked up to face him, slightly narrowing her eyes at him. "Stop being so shameless early in the morning," she added, Lei Zhao, chuckling as he sat up, helping Yan Mei up as well. 

"Let's have a shower together, then we'll cook breakfast together," he said, Yan Mei now showing a slight discomfort and nervousness on her face. 

"Your family... I'm embarrassed showing my faces to them," she said. Lei Zhao shook his head then a comforting smile appeared on his face. 

"Don't worry, Wifey. My grandparents had gone home last night, and my mother went out early to start settling some things," he said, Yan Mei slowly nodding. 

"So we're alone?"

Lei Zhao nodded, "Yes. We'll also talk about where we'd go later for the 'honeymoon' mom suggested," he added, Yan Mei finally smiling as the two walked their way in the bathroom to take a bath together. 

Lei Zhao started filling up the tub with the appropriate amount of warm water. Once filled, he came in first, then gestured Yan Mei to sit right in front of him.

Yan Mei followed. She had her back facing Lei Zhao, her husband embracing her as he rested his chin on her shoulder. 

"You scared me last night," Lei Zhao said, almost pouting. "How could you suggest having a divorce, hmm? Do you want me to die?"

Yan Mei slightly giggled, "Scared? More like you were angry," she commented, Lei Zhao, chuckling at her reaction. 

"I'm sorry. I couldn't help it," Lei Zhao said as he started getting the luffa at the side, lathered it with soap, then rubbed it on Yan Mei's back. "I did enjoy it, quite frankly," he added, Yan Mei slightly rolling her eyes at his remark. 

But she agreed. She enjoyed last night, too. It was a new experience for both of them, and she thought that what if they explored more in bed?

Would they have enjoyed something even more? 

With her thoughts running wild during their bath time, Yan Mei coughed, making Lei Zhao c.o.c.k his head to the side, wanting to tease her. 

"Why are you coughing again, Wifey? Are you fantasizing about your husband?"

Yan Mei's eyebrows twitched because of his shamelessness! She wanted to hit him, but at the same time, she liked to restrain herself.

Being with Lei Zhao made Yan Mei feel a series of ups and downs. She sometimes found it difficult to express herself, but at the same time, she liked how she is enjoying most of the time with Lei Zhao. 

Being with him made Yan Mei realize that having a man like him is such a blessing. 

Yan Mei smiled, turning to Lei Zhao. She was now facing him, Yan Mei in between his legs as she stared right through his eyes. 

"Lei Zhao," she said her name with love in it. "Thank you... for believing in me even though it was difficult. I know you struggle, too."

Lei Zhao did not expect what Yan Mei had said. With his heart racing as Yan Mei's words reverberated in his chest, he grinned at her as he playfully splashed water towards her, Yan Mei giggling as the two started being playful. 

"I told you, didn't I? I'd always be here. So no divorce. Ever."

Yan Mei laughed, showing her perfect white teeth. She splashed water on him as well, the two already playing as they enjoyed the morning together. 

Yan Mei felt uneasiness in her heart as the future awaits them. What if Lei Zhao would suddenly grow impatient with her? Would that happen?

But with his reassuring words just now, Yan Mei felt that she could just go on with the flow and believe in his words. Knowing Lei Zhao, Yan Mei knew that he would not lie to her and would continue to be honest with her with his feelings. 

Yan Mei then decided right here and then that she should be more honest with Lei Zhao even though she started fearing what had happened in the past, and that it started haunting her now.
