Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife

Chapter 87 Under arrest

Yan Mei rubbed her neck as she looked through the reports submitted to her. She really wished she had someone to help her with all of this.

\'I really should find a vice president quickly.\' Her phone rang, distracting her. Yan Mei picked up her phone; her brows bumped together when she saw the number was unknown. She was about to hang up, but something tugged at her heart, making her answer it.

"Hello?" Yan Mei raised her brows.

"Is this Mrs. Lei?" A baritone voice inquired on the other side of the phone.

"Yes. I am. Who is this?" Yan Mei asked as a bad premonition raised in her heart. \'Only a few people know she is married to Lei Zhao. So who is calling her? Did something happen to Lei Zhao?\'

"I\'m calling from the police station." Yan Mei\'s heart skipped a beat in her chest.

"Police?! Did something happened to Lei Zhao?" Yan Mei asked anxiously.

"Yes, and No."

Yan Mei scrunched her face. "What do you mean?"

"I called to inform you you\'re under arrest." Yan Mei rubbed her temples as she tried to calm down her beating heart.

"Under arrest?"

"Yes." The man, on the other side, replied flatly.

"What am I getting arrested for?" Yan Mei squinted her eyes.

"For stealing my heart, Mrs. Lei." Anger glistened in Yan Mei\'s eyes when she heard the person. The nerve of this person!

She can\'t believe she was worried about Lei Zhao for nothing. This was a prank call!

"You\'re crazy. Don\'t call this number again or I will find you and make your life a living hell!"

Just as Yan Mei was about to hang up the call, she heard Lei Zhao\'s voice.

"Yes, I\'m crazy in love with you, Wifey. And I don\'t mind being in hell as long as you\'re by my side."

Yan Mei\'s heart fluttered for a second before she erupted in anger.

"Lei Zhao!" Yan Mei bellowed as she pinched the space in between the bridge of her nose.

Lei Zhao chuckled at the other side of the phone. They were testing a voice changing software, so he used it on his wife. He didn\'t think she will be this angry.

"You stupid man. I thought something had happened to you! How can you be this cheesy to set up such a lame prank? How old are you, five?!"

Lei Zhao scratched his head as he listened to his wife scolding him.

"Sorry." He mumbled.

"Sorry?! Will sorry changed the fact that I nearly got a heart attack because I was worried sick about you?"

"….." Lei Zhao was utterly speechless. He didn\'t think his wife will overreact like this.

He could hear her panting in anger.

"Wifey…"

"What?!" Yan Mei snapped, crossing her eyebrows in irritation.

Lei Zhao flinched at her harsh tone. His wife is terrifying when she is angry. Lei Zhao mentally chided himself to not get on her bad side.

"I\'m really sorry. Please don\'t be angry. I promise I won\'t do it again".

Yan Mei snorted. "Promise you won\'t do it again?"

Hearing Lei Zhao\'s soft voice, she couldn\'t bear to be angry with him.

"Yes, I promise to be a good boy. I swear and cross my heart."

Yan Mei shook her head helplessly as her lips stretched into a smile.

"Any reason you called? Or you called just to prank on me?"

"I called to inform you I made a dinner reservation tonight at 7."

Yan Mei\'s features softened when she heard him.

"Anything else?"

Lei Zhao chuckled, "Yes, I forgot to tell you something this morning." He stated teasingly.

"What?"

"I love you" Without waiting for her response, he ended the call.

Yan Mei stared at the phone for a couple of minutes with a smile on her face.

***

Lei Zhao parked the car in front of a fancy restaurant. Once they got down, a beautiful blonde greeted them.

"Good evening, Mr. Lei. Please come this way." She beamed.

Lei Zhao was a frequent customer here since the owner was Edward Wu. His friend.

She led them, batting her fake eyelashes and swaying her hips sensually to seduce Lei Zhao.

Yan Mei rolled her eyes when she saw the woman trying so hard to get Lei Zhao\'s attention.

"Here you go. The waiter will come to take your orders in a few minutes. Mr. Lei", she said, giving a quick glance at Yan Mei.

Then she turned to Lei Zhao smiling at him, "Is there anything else you need, Sir?" She asked in a flirty tone

Before Lei Zhao could make a response, he heard Yan Mei\'s icy voice.

"Is he handsome?" She asked the woman with a fake smile plastered on her face.

The woman widened her eyes. She wasn\'t expecting Yan Mei to talk to her.

"My husband, is he handsome?" Yan Mei repeated her question when she saw the woman staring at her with a weird look on her face.

\'Husband!\' The woman swallowed nervously, thinking about the correct words to use. If she answers no, that means she is calling Lei Zhao ugly; if she answers yes, it means she is ogling her husband.

The woman fidgeted under Yan Mei\'s chilly eyes. She really didn\'t want to lose her job! She thought Lei Zhao was just having dinner with a business partner. If she knew he was with his wife, she would never dare ignore Yan Mei and try to seduce her husband right under her nose.

"I\'m sorry, Mrs. Lei. Please forgive me."

Yan Mei tapped her fingers on her cheeks as if she was thinking.

"If I ever see you ogling at my husband with that pretty hazel eye of yours. I\'m going to gouge them out. Understand?"

The waiter nodded repeatedly.

"Good, now scram!" Yan Mei said coldly

A sly smile lined Lei Zhao\'s lips. "Why is Mrs. Lei jealous now?" Lei Zhao asked after the woman left.

Yan Mei snorted and ignored him.

Lei Zhao chuckled. "You\'re cute when you\'re jealous."

Yan Mei rolled her eyes, "I\'m not jealous!"

Lei Zhao laughed, "Okay, I believe you… you\'re not jealous."

He stated but didn\'t sound so convinced.

"I\'m really not jealous!" Yan Mei continued to defend herself.

Lei Zhao just nodded and grinned.

"Yeah, of course. You\'re not."

"You-"The waiter appeared and interrupted Yan Mei, causing the words to die in her mouth.

"Hello, I\'m Eric, and I will be your waiter for the night." The waiter said politely as he shifted his eyes back and forth at them.

He handed the menu to each one of them. "Here is the menu."

"I will have marinated steak, baked potatoes with onion sour cream, green bean and yellow pepper salad.

The waiter nodded and turned to Lei Zhao, who was staring at Yan Mei the whole time she was ordering.

Yan Mei narrowed her eyes, "What?"

"Nothing." Lei Zhao said as he turned to the waiter.

"Will have the same thing she is having."

A few minutes later, the waiter brought their food. Their dinner went well, they both had a casual conversation with Yan Mei telling Lei Zhao about meeting Leng Shao.

Lei Zhao was happy that his wife has met an old friend. Once they finish eating, Lei Zhao paid the bills.

He took her hand in his as they head out of the restaurant. When they reached the door, they stopped in their tracks when they saw the person standing at the entrance.
