Chapter 22 - She is unique (1/2)
Entering the restaurant, the three of them were given a private room. The high beaming ceilings and the eclectic décor worked wonders for the ambience. The inside area looked warm and inviting with the flowers on each table and soothing piano music that float in the restaurant. The decibels weren't very high, the sound was soft and shallow. Lei Zhao found out that his wife has been quiet since they entered.
”You order first, I'm going to the washroom.” Lei Xiao tong said with a smile. As soon as she left, she sent a text to Lei Zhao.
”Xiaomei is a little nervous, you make her relax.”
Lei Zhao looked at the phone screen and smirked, then put the phone quietly into his trousers pocket. Lei Zhao smiled and grabbed Yan Mei's hand and looked at the bracelet.
”It's beautiful.” Yan Mei quickly withdrew her hands, raised her eyebrows, and glanced at the bracelet on her wrist.
”Can you return this to auntie? I can't accept this.” Yan Mei said expressionlessly.
”What auntie? She is your mom too.” Lei Zhao said helplessly. Yan Mei mouth twitched and she looked away not responding to him. Lei Zhao took a sip of his coffee on his table and said blankly,
”You wear it, if you take it off, I'm afraid bad things will happen.” Yan Mei suddenly turned to look at him. ”What are you saying?”
”This bracelet was handed down from my family. Before my grandmother died she said my mother should pass it on to my wife, otherwise, bad things will happen.” Yan Mei was stunned, her mouth was open and she was speechless.
Yan Mei took a deep breath. ”Are you bluffing?”
Hearing this, Lei Zhao glanced at her deeply and looked at her expressionlessly, ”It doesn't matter. If you don't believe it, you can remove it.”
Yan Mei pondered for a moment. She knew every family has a secret so maybe he isn't lying?
”Okay, I will wear it.” Seeing her agree to wear to the bracelet a faint smile passed through his eyes. Lei Zhao grinned and took a sip of his coffee. The waiter brought the food and began serving. At this moment Lei Xiao tong came back. As soon as she was seated, she smiled and said. ”You have ordered so many delicious foods.”
After such a reminder, Yan Mei remembered that she and Lei Zhao didn't order anything since they sat down. Apart from the coffee, the waiter served when they first came in. She finds it strange though, when did the restaurant start serving coffee? She looked at Lei Zhao with a surprised look on her first. Lei Zhao chuckled and wiped his hands with a sterile towel on the table and took the fork and knife and cut the steak on her plates into pieces for her. He picked one with a fork and sent it to her mouth.
Lei Xiao tong smiled and said nothing. This is the first time she has seen her son served someone for the first time. Although she was jealous, her son has grown up and has gotten married. As long as he is happy with the girl she doesn't care who she is. Also, her daughter-in-law is so beautiful and independent. This was also a good thing, so she was very happy.
Yan Mei didn't expect him to personally feed her while his mother was here. ”Mom hasn't eaten yet.” The elder hasn't eaten yet how can she dares to take the first bite. Every time she ate with Wang Lu's mother she had to wait for her to eat first. So this has become a habit for her.
Lei Zhao and Lei Xiao tong looked at each other when they heard her called Lei Xiao tong mom. Lei Xiao tong smiled.
