Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife

Chapter 112 Only yours

Lei Zhao let out a husky chuckle, then smirked at her.

"I just want to pamper my wife, can\'t I do that?" Yan Mei narrowed her eyes when she heard his words.

"Okay, spill it. Did you do something that would make me punish if I find out?"

A trace of light passed through Lei Zhao\'s eyes, but he quickly masked it.

"Actually.." Lei Zhao shut his eyes tightly as frustration surged through him. He didn\'t want to leave Yan Mei. Lei Zhao estimated that this trip would take at least three days.

"Wifey.." Lei Zhao called out.

Yan Mei squinted her eyes when she saw his reactions.

"I have to fly out tomorrow to New York for a business trip."

Even though he had scheduled the meeting the day after tomorrow, Lei Zhao had to go a day before to prepare adequately. Time was a luxury for businessmen, and Lei Zhao didn\'t want to be late for the meeting. He glanced at Yan Mei as he waited for her to say something.

Yan Mei\'s heart dropped a bit, hearing. Lei Zhao was leaving, but she knew he has been delaying his work for her, so she can\'t be selfish.

She stretched out and placed a hand on Lei Zhao\'s hand, lying on the table.

"Remember, you have to work hard to make more money for us." Yan Mei said, trying to lighten the atmosphere

A smile formed on Lei Zhao\'s lips. "Of course, I promise to make more money. I need to make my wife proud."

Yan Mei nodded. Even though she tried to act that she was okay with this, Lei Zhao saw the trace of sadness in her eyes.

"I won\'t be long. I will be back before you know it." Lei Zhao commented with a smile.

"That\'s good, or someone might steal me if you take long." Yan Mei smirked mischievously.

"No-no, you\'re now mine. I will kill anyone who dares to steal you from me."

Yan Mei rolled her eyes, "Possessive much?"

Lei Zhao scoffed, then smile.

"No one is taking you away from me, Wifey. Keep that in mind."

Yan Mei\'s heart skipped a beat, hearing his possessive words.

Yan Mei cleared her throat and looked at the food on the table.

Looking at her face\'s eager look, Lei Zhao took the cover from the plate, revealing an appetizing steak with potatoes. It looked amazing and smelled good.

Yan Mei\'s eyes sparkled, and she fidgeted. She couldn\'t want to taste it.

Lei Zhao chuckled and poured wine into their glasses.

"Let\'s toast." He said as he raised his glass.

"A toast to what?" She asked as she bit her lips.

"A toast to the most beautiful woman." Yan Mei blushed before clinking their glasses together, and they took a sip of their wine.

The spent the rest of the night talking about random things. At the back of their mind, they knew every second was priceless to them.

"So, I want to hire your cousin to be the model for my new female collections. What do you think?"

Lei Zhao furrowed his brows, "Ying Sheng?" he questioned.

"Yes. I think she fits the theme of the exhibition well." Yan Mei explained as she trained her eyes on him.

"Are you sure? Ying Sheng has quite a reputation in the higher society. Also, the last time I checked, she had zero knowledge about modeling." Lei Zhao commented.

Yan Mei nodded, "I\'m sure."

Lei Zhao smiled, "As long as you\'re happy."

"Also, I rejected your cousin, Li Wei. I don\'t want to work with him."

Lei Zhao heaved a sigh when he heard Yan Mei.

"It\'s your company as long as you\'re uncomfortable with working with the person. You don\'t have to comprise because he is family."

Yan Mei smiled and nodded, "Alright."

--------

After they had dinner, Yan Mei suggested they go out for a walk. Lei Zhao agreed.

They walked on the sidewalk hand in hand.

"Did you like the food?" Li Zhao suddenly asked as he looked at Yan Mei.

She smiled and nodded, "My hubby is the best cook in the world. It\'s the best steak I have ever had."

Lei Zhao grinned, "I\'m glad you like it." Lei Zhao said as he looked at her.

"I will learn new recipes when I come back." Lei Zhao said with so much enthusiasm that Yan Mei felt he looked adorable.

Yan Mei realized she has never seen Lei Zhao being serious like what the tabloids say about him. She remembers searching about him that day after he told her his background. He is always boyish and carefree, not like the ruthless businessman people dubbed him to be.

They went to sit on a bench. Lei Zhao pulled into his arms with her back leaning on his chest.

"Look at all those women gazing at you. I want to gouge their eyes out." Yan Mei complained as she pouted.

"I don\'t care about other women. You\'re the only woman in my eyes." Lei Zhao whispered huskily in her ears.

"You\'re the only woman. Mine." Lei Zhao declared possessively as he nuzzled her neck.

Warmth flooded in Yan Mei\'s body.

"As you\'re mine." Yan Mei retorted pompously.

Lei Zhao pressed his cheek against her head, "Hmm. Only yours."

They held each other as they stared at the moon. They were cherishing the feeling of being in each other\'s arms. Neither of them said anything, just quietly enjoying the night as if it was their last.

"I\'m going to miss you." Yan Mei suddenly said, breaking the silence.

Yan Mei pulled away and looked up at him.

"As I said, I would be back before you would even realize. My home is you, and I would always come home, the place you are."

Yan Mei nodded, "I love you."

Yan Mei declared as a small blush spread across her cheeks.

"I love you more." Lei Zhao declared as he smashed his lips onto hers.

Unbeknownst, someone was taking pictures of their precious time together.
