Chapter 48 - Best thing (1/2)

After eating at the restaurant, Lei Zhao decided that they should take a stroll on the streets for the food to digest. Yan Mei knew he wanted to take a walk with her but his poor excuse of wanting the food to digest made her laugh out.

Lei Zhao held her hands as they walked side by side. Both of them were lost in their thoughts as they walked quietly. But the atmosphere was quite harmonious. The wind blew Yan Mei's hair. She felt happy that Lei Zhao was by her side.

Lei Zhao threw Yan Mei a glance and saw her deep in thought with a soft smile tugged on her lips. He stroked her palm with his thumb.

”Meeting you is the best thing that has happened to me, wifey.” Lei Zhao said softly as he smiled at her.

Yan Mei swallowed the lump in her throat. She has always believed she is a bad omen but he was telling her, she is the best thing that has happened to him. Yan Mei looked at her feet so he wouldn't see how much his words affected her.

Now she knew that this stupid man has finally won her heart.

The wind was a little chilly so Yan Mei wrapped her around her to rub off the chill.

”Here, wifey.” Lei Zhao said placing his jacket on her shoulder. The mint she smelled on him the first time she met him drifted into her nose.

”Won't you feel cold?”

A smug grin appeared on Lei Zhao's face.

”When I get cold, I can just hug you. You will keep me warm.”

Yan Mei rolled her eyes at his cheeky reply.

”I know you've your reasons why you don't want to fell in love again.” He said softly his voice had no anger, only understanding. Yan Mei was surprised.

”I know I was being selfish this morning but the more I fall for you the more greedy I become for your love.” His voice deepened as he said.

Lei Zhao heaved a sigh when she didn't respond. ”I'm sorry for forcing you and calling a coward.”

Yan Mei shook her head. ”It's okay.”

They became quiet for a few moments before Lei Zhao spoke.

”At times I think you have been hurt badly, Wifey.”

Yan Mei bit her lips because what he was saying was the truth. She has been hurt badly that she is afraid to be happy again. She refused to let anyone in her heart because she didn't want to get hurt or hurt the person. Yan Mei realized that she has even forgotten what it felt like to be loved and pampered by a man. Maybe she was a coward just like he said.

But this man who was holding her hand made her feel how it feels to be loved and pampered, melting her iced heart.

It scared her. She wasn't supposed to feel those emotions again.
