Chapter 51 - Youre the husband (2/2)

Feeling relieved to have some help, and feeling nervous about the date at the same time, Lei Zhao nodded at his friend, appreciating his help.

”Will you attend Li's family gala? I heard they invited a lot of prominent people,” Edward Wu asked as he took another sip of his coffee, waiting for Lei Zhao's reply. Lei Zhao took his cup of coffee then also took a sip before giving Edward Lu his answer.

”It's my aunt's birthday. I have to go. I just have to convince my wife to accompany me,” Lei Zhao answered then he sighed as he put his cup of coffee down on the table.

Yan Mei picked up her phone and saw that it was her uncle calling him.

”Hello,” she greeted, waiting for the reply of the person on the other end of the call.

”Yan Mei, it's uncle. I wanted to remind you of the Li family's gala. The one I discussed with you the other day.”

”Ah…” Yan Mei blinked her eyes a few times as she realized that she had totally forgotten about the ball she promised her uncle to attend. She scratched the back of her head then gave her uncle her reply. ”Okay, uncle. I will be there.”

”Alright see you there. I hope you would bring your husband. I would love to meet him,” he said with a little bit of excitement etched in his voice.

”Okay,” Yan Mei answered then she bit her lip with the thought of introducing her husband to her uncle.

”Mmm… Take care,” her uncle bid her farewell making the girl on the other end of the call nod even though she knew he couldn't see her.

”Okay,” Yan Mei said as she hung up the call.

The moment the call ended, her brows furrowed as she thought of ways to ask Lei Zhao to go on the gala with her. She had to ask him tonight since the gala is to happen in three days.

Shaking this thought for a while, she opened her laptop then focused on her work. An hour later her office phone rang, distracting her from her spontaneity.

”Ah…” Hunching her brows together, she answered the phone as she pinched the bridge of her nose.

”Yes?”

”President Yan, you have a visitor.” Su Bei's amused voice sounded on the other side of the phone.

”Who,” she asked, not really expecting anyone. At the same time, hearing Su Bei's excitement piqued her curiosity!

”He claimed that he is your husband,” Su Bei answered as she looked at the man in front of her.

She had to admit… this man is handsome as his unfathomable cynical eyes contrasted exceptionally with his well-built face! Just a look at him is enough to make every woman swoon in delight!

”Erm… Lei Zhao,” Yan Mei asked. She wasn't expecting him to visit her at the office.

”Yeah, that is his name. Should I let him in?”

Yan Mei bit her lips nervously. She had left early today for work while he was still sleeping because she was afraid to talk to him this morning. She didn't know how to act around him after she told him about her past last night.

”Yan Mei…”

Su Bei's worried voice sounded at the other side when she didn't hear an answer from her friend.

”Ahh...yes,” Yan Mei answered, finally shaken from her thoughts.

”Alright,” Su Bei said as she hung up the call. Looking at the man in front of her, Su Bei spoke as she put down the phone. ”So, you're the husband.”

Lei Zhao raised his brows when he heard her.

”Yeah, I am.” Lei Zhao murmured.

”You know if you hurt her, I will skin you alive,” Su Bei jokingly threatened as she gave him a sinister smile.
