Lei Zhao knocked on Yan Mei's door. She stood up, walked to the door and quickly opened it.

She saw Lei Zhao leaning against the door frame. He straightened himself up the moment he saw her. Yan Mei felt her heart skip a beat, as she did a quick scan on the man in front of him looking like a model.

He was wearing a blue denim jacket with a white t-shirt underneath. His black trousers sat at his h.i.p.s completing the look with white sneakers. Her eyes were scanning him then she saw him wearing the watch she gave him.

Feeling pleased, she looked at the man in front of her and their eyes met. ”What are you doing here,” she asked, raising her chin.

”Ouch! Wifey, is this how you welcome your husband,” he asked with a smirk, feigning pain.

Yan Mei rolled her eyes at him as she spoke. ”You still haven't answered me.”

”I missed you. I didn't see you this morning and I couldn't stop thinking about you so here I am,” he said as he gave her a smug smile again, making Yan Mei's heart internally swoon. ”Won't you let me in? I don't think you want your employees to see me kissing you,” he added teasingly, his eyes dancing with mirth.

Yan Mei's heart fluttered when she heard him. Just those playful words… but it was enough for it to tug her heartstrings! Is she a teenager?

'He couldn't stop thinking about me?'

Internally shaking herself from her thoughts, she cleared her throat then she opened the door widely for his entry.

”Come in.”

The moment she closed the door, Lei Zhao hugged her from behind, his chin resting on her shoulder. Just a simple gesture between husband and wife, Yan Mei couldn't help but feel slightly taken aback.

”Wifey… why did you leave early today,” he asked playfully, with his brows knitted in a frown. This made him act like a child.

”I-I had an important meeting,” Yan Mei answered, slightly stuttering, then she licked her red lips nervously.

”Hmm,” Lei Zhao said bleakly, playing with her hair as he twirled it between his fingers. He released her from his hold and walked to the couch and sat comfortably.

Yan Mei narrowed her eyes and parted her lips slightly. She didn't know why, but her mood plummeted when he said nothing. She stared at his deadpan expression and felt a little awkward.

”So…” She said as she trailed off. ”Would you like a cup of coffee,” she continued, wanting to break the awkwardness.

Lei Zhao shook his head as his answer.

”Oh..what would you like then? I can let my assistant bring it,” she asked and Lei Zhao's eyes flashed when he heard her. He stared at her with an intense gaze but still said nothing.

Yan Mei fidgeted when she felt his ardent gaze on her. She coughed to hide her awkwardness and went back to her seat.

”I will finish my work in thirty minutes then we'll go home,” Yan Mei just said as her eyes strayed to the wall clock. She noticed that it was already 5:00 pm.

”Alright.” Lei Zhao said flatly, feeling rather nonchalant.

Yan Mei walked back to her seat and picked up the doc.u.ment she was reading earlier. A line etched between her brows as she focused on reading the doc.u.ment. She was a sight to behold.

Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes that showed little emotions, her perfectly arched brows which she raises when she is confused, her high cheekbones which make her look like a Greek goddess, her full lips which she bites when she is nervous, her heart-shaped face which is mostly devoid of any emotion and her long smooth black hair pulled into a ponytail… looking at this, he felt content with just watching her. He could watch her all day without getting tired.

Yan Mei could see him with her peripheral vision and she could see him studying her. Yan Mei felt a little uncomfortable with his intense stare. His eyes were boring holes into her. She couldn't stand his piercing gaze anymore so she looked up at him, breaking the silence.

”What,” she asked looking askance at him.
