Chapter 18 - Nightmare (2/2)

She shook him when he didn't respond. Lei Zhao was shocked seeing her like this. Her face was stained with tears and her eyes were empty. Due to the shock, it took him a while to respond.

”Yan Mei, there is no baby here. If you want, we can have a baby okay?” Lei Zhao pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. He was scared seeing her like this, crying out for a child that was not his. Lei Zhao had to admit, he was being selfish, but he was afraid that she would leave him one day.

He knew that she didn't love him and maybe he didn't love her too because there is no way he would fall in love with someone he had known for a few days.

He was s.e.x.u.a.lly attracted to her though and he could see himself falling in love with her. It was just a matter of time, so he didn't want to lose her. Maybe somewhere in his heart, a feeling had started budding. Yan Mei began to struggle when she heard him. She pushed him away.

”No! I don't want another baby. I just want my baby,” Yan Mei said and shook her head.

”Okay. We will find your baby,” Lei Zhao said softly, his voice full of pampering.

Yan Mei smiled deprecating, ”You don't understand…”

Lei Zhao pulled her back into his arms and patted her back softly. Yan Mei silently sobbed into his chest unceasingly, her hands clenched into shaking fists. Lei Zhao held her in silence, rocking her slowly. Yan Mei felt her heart hurt so much!

Lei Zhao was heartbroken seeing her like this, all he could do was embrace her and let the torrent of her tears soak his chest. He could feel her clenched fists and understood that she was going through a lot. It seemed that this child meant a lot to her. He ran his fingers through her hair in an attempt to calm her down.

Suddenly she started hyperventilating. Lei Zhao felt the change and pulled her back. Seeing her hyperventilating, he kissed her. Instead of his normal aggressive kiss, this kiss was slow and gentle. It was the only way he could show her he wanted to comfort her and tell her that he was with her and would never leave her.

When Yan Mei's breath returned to normal, he released her and kissed her forehead gently. He then pulled her into his arms and said softly, ”Sleep.”

As if his voice was a spell or because she was emotionally tired, Yan Mei felt her eyelids drop. She fell into a deep sleep and this time she didn't have a nightmare.

Lei Zhao stared at her with complicated emotions. He thought, 'Baby? Does she have a child with another man? If she did have a child, where is it? With the father?'

This was his first time encountering a situation like this. He did not even know where to start. Sighing, he went to the bathroom, wet a towel, and came back to clean her face. After he was done, Lei Zhao took a pack of cigarettes and went to the balcony.

He rarely smoked. He only does it when he is in a bad mood. He picked up his phone and dialed Ye Xing's number.

”Boss,” Ye Xing's voice sounded hoarse, as if just waking up from sleeping.

”I want you to investigate Miss Yan again.”

”But Boss…” Ye Xing was a little embarrassed. This was the first time that he couldn't find a person's background information in S City.

Hearing his hesitation, Lei Zhao raised his brows. ”What?”

”It seems that a very powerful person is protecting Miss Yan. Even I can't find anything about her except for the information about three years ago when she appeared in S City. It seems that she was the one who came to the door of the Yan family, claiming to be the lost young miss with a DNA report and a picture of Grandpa Yan's daughter who ran away because of her arranged marriage, Mr. Li. There are only four families who can hide their identity in this country, the top three families in City M and the royal family. If my guess is correct, Miss Yan must be connected to these families somehow.”

Lei Zhao squeezed his brows tiredly. ”Mmm.”

After that, he hung up the call. He looked at the moon in the sky and fell into deep thought.

”Wifey, who are you?” Lei Zhao whispered into the quiet night.
