Chapter 46 - Friends (1/2)
”Yan Mei.”
”Yan Mei.”
”Yan Mei!” Yan Mei jumped in her seat as she was too distracted to hear Su Bei. Her mind has been occupied with certain thoughts-thoughts about what Lei Zhao did to her in the morning.
”Yes, Su Bei?” She answered.
”Why are you so lost today?”
”I was thinking about something.”
”Are you okay though or something is wrong with you and your husband?”
”Yes I am, No we are fine.” Yan Mei replied.
Su Bei sat on the chair in front of her desk.
”Alright, do you have some more things to do?” she asked as she leaned back on the chair and looked around the office.
”Not really.” She replied. Yan Mei heaved a sigh, she has completely forgotten that she had asked her friend out for lunch.
”Just give me a minute, I will just sign this doc.u.ment.” Su Bei nodded as tapped her hands on the chair waiting for her.
”I'm done.” She murmured. She turned off her computer then grabbed her purse as she stood up.
”What do you want to eat?” Yan Mei asked Su Bei as they walked out of the elevator.
”You're the boss.” Su Bei said as she shrugged.
Yan Mei nodded. They walked out of the building and across the street. Since this was a commercial area, there were big stores and restaurants around. They entered a restaurant which was Su Bei's favorite.
They were ushered to a lounge and a waiter came to take their orders. A few minutes later, they were eating.
Su Bei looked at her with curiosity as she asked.
”Yan Mei you know you can't hide anything from me. So tell me what's wrong.”
Yan Mei chugged down her water and sighed.
”I think I'm falling in love with my husband.”
Su Bei chuckled when she heard her and shook her head helplessly. Her friend was a ruthlessly CEO but in terms of love, her EQ was probably zero.
”This is a bad thing because….”
Yan Mei looked around the lounge and bit her lips.
”I'm afraid he will leave me once he knows my past.” Su Bei nodded.
”Does he love you?” Yan Mei stiffened and nodded.
”Yeah, I can see it in his eyes and he tells me every day.”
Su Bei just stared at her friend, ”Communication is very important in marriage Yan Mei, even though I haven't met your husband I can see he treats you well. If you don't tell him and he finds out himself it won't end well. Don't assume things for him, sit him down and tell him about your past, about why you're too afraid to fall in love. If he can't accept your past then when he isn't worth it.”
Yan Mei sighed as she played with her food, suddenly she lost her appetite.
”For someone who has never been in a relationship, you're a good relationship advisor.” Yan Mei grumbled.
Su Bei flushed, ”Single people gives the best relationship advice, haven't you heard?”
Yan Mei snorted.

Lei Zhao looked through his emails blankly and groaned. He was been trying to concentrate for hours now but be can't. Was he too hard on his wife this morning? He knew he promised not to pressure her but the more he falls for her, the more selfish he becomes.
His phone ringing brought him out of the daze. Looking at the caller ID he raised his brows.
'Why was she calling him?'
Picking up the call, ”Hello”
