Chapter 53 - Surprise (2/2)

Yan Mei looked at him and smiled softly, ”Sorry, I just remembered my best friend.”

Lei Zhao nodded, ”The one in a coma?”

”Yes.” Yan Mei uttered as her answer.

Feeling his heart shake with his wife's sudden display of sadness, he gave a suggestion.

”Do you want me to trace her whereabouts?”

Hearing this, Yan Mei shook her head as she wiped her own tears then held Lei Zhao's hands that wiped her tears away from her cheeks.

”No… she died last year. She was in a coma for three years. I think it's good that she died… since she was suffering a lot. I wouldn't want her pain to prolong.”

Lei Zhao sighed. His wife was really pitiful.

”Sorry….” He said trailing off. He knew no words could ease the pain and scars in her heart.

”It's okay. She would beat me if she sees me crying over her death,” Yan Mei said, offering Lei Zhao a sad smile.

Lei Zhao nodded in understanding, ”Let's go. I have a surprise for you,” Lei Zhao said giving her a quick kiss.

Yan Mei raised her brows, not expecting where this is coming from.

”A surprise?”

Lei Zhao nodded and grinned mysteriously.

Yan Mei turned off her computer then she picked her purse. She was eager to see the surprise he had for her.

Lei Zhao walked beside her and held her waist. They walked to her private elevator while Lei Zhao still held her waist.

Yan Mei could see her employees curiously gazing at her but they didn't dare gossip, seeing her aloof face and the cold essence surrounding her.

The moment Yan Mei left the office, murmurs began. The silence broke since everyone was curious about the mysterious man with their president. They have never seen their president close to the opposite s.e.x!

Seeing this was like seeing something foreign!

There were rumors that the president liked women but now they just saw their president walking with a handsome man. They could clearly see how the man's eyes glow with affection as he glanced at their president.

”Who is that man with our president?”

”Did you see him holding her waist?”

”Oh my, don't tell me our aloof president is finally in love!”

Yan Mei had no idea about the chaos she had just caused in her own office. She got into the car and left with Lei Zhao.

After half an hour the car suddenly stopped at the beach. Yan Mei turned to look at Lei Zhao.

”What are we doing at the beach,” she asked, her face contorted with confusion.

Lei Zhao said warmly at her, ”You would know soon.”

He got out of the car and went to open her door for her. Lei Zhao held her hands, his warm hand interlacing with hers had completely eased her low mood.

”Let's go,” Lei Zhao said, licking his lips nervously. He really hopes that she likes his surprise!

They walked for a few minutes before stopping at a particular place. Yan Mei froze when she saw the scene in front of her.
