Chapter 12 - Rogue (2/2)

Lei Zhao let out a sight after she turned and walked away. This woman was sometimes really confusing and cute.

Half an hour late, four dishes and one bowl of soup were being placed on the dining table. The strong smell of food lingered in the kitchen and the dining room.

SItting at the sofa in the living room, Yan Mei's eyes were growing hot from staring at the food on the dining table. She tried to suppress her emotions. No one has cooked for her since her parents died. Wang Lu was a bad cook, so the servants did all the cooking once they got married.

The only time she heard her mother talk about her father was when they were eating. She still remembered the last meal she had with her mom:

”Meimei, your father is a very good cook. When I was with him, he would prepare all the food. He loved me and always pampered me. I don't want you to hate your father or think that he didn't want you. It was your mom who ran away and got married to another man. At the time, I did not know I was pregnant and I already had a marriage contract with someone else. When I found out I was pregnant, your father was far away. Your grandpa thought that if I wanted to protect you and your father, I had to run away.”

”Wifey. Wifey!” Lei Zhao's anxious voice brought her out of her stupor.

”Wifey, are you okay?” Lei Zhao asked worriedly when he saw her pale face.

Yan Mei's eyes met Lei Zhao's eyes. Her indifferent face softened when she saw the gentle and worried look in his eyes.

”Yeah. I'm fine.”

”Okay. Let's eat.” Lei Zhao knew that she did not want to talk about what she was thinking, so he didn't probe further.

Sitting at the dining table, Lei Zhao put two spicy fish on her rice and smiled softly.

”Wife, eat more okay? From now on, hubby will cook for you. You look so thin. Someone will think I'm bullying my wife.” Yan Mei smiled softly and picked some vegetables for him.

”You should also eat more. I am your wife, I should be the one cooking. Unfortunately, I can't cook,” Yan Mei said embarrassingly.

Lei Zhao's eyes softened. ”Don't worry my wife. I will do all the chores in the house. I don't mind being a slave to my wife.”

”But I can't let you do everything. It's my responsibility. I will feel useless.”

”It's okay. Don't think about it. After all, you will go to work in the morning to make money for the house and you will work hard during the night. So you're not useless,” Lei Zhao said with an evil grin on his face. Yan Mei blushed.

”Rogue!”

Lei Zhao erupted into laughter when he saw her face turn red. His wife was really cute. Even though she would put up a really cold and indifferent face, he knew that it was just a mask and that she was actually a very cute woman who was sometimes really childish.

Yan Mei decided to ignore him because she realized that she might get hypertension if she responded to every word that would come out of his mouth.
