Lei Zhao tapped his foot as he waited patiently for Yan Mei. His wife wasn't someone who took long when she was dressing so he was quite surprised that she still hasn't come down yet.

After a few more minutes he heard the clicking of heels against the floor coming from the stairs. He turned towards the stairs and froze as soon as he saw Yan Mei. He stood up with his mouth slightly opened and his eyes widened.

He just couldn't take his eyes from her as she walked down the stairs slowly and gracefully. She was wearing a tight- fitting red elbow length sleeve cheongsam gown, with a mandarin collar that accentuated all her curves in the right places with a slit up the side, showing her leg all the way to her mid-thigh.

She had paired her dress with a gold stiletto and a gold clutch purse design with floral crystal brooch. Her long black hair was pulled into a chignon with bangs and a longer side-strands. Her face was contoured and she had a dark smokey eye with red lipstick. Overall, she looked simple yet elegant.

Yan Mei saw Lei Zhao and her breath got caught in her in her throat. This man was truly handsome with those bewitching eyes of his.  His hair was fluffed up at the front. He was wearing a mandarin collar suit that fit him perfectly. He looked gorgeous in the suit.  Yan Mei had to hold unto the railings a she walked down because she felt her legs weakened at the sight of him.

When she reached down the stairs, he pulled her into his arms and stared into her eyes for a couple of seconds.

”God! you are the most beautiful person I have ever seen. I don't want you to go the gala because other men would be staring at you.” Lei Zhao furrowed his brows and his lips set into a grim.

Yan Mei chuckled when she heard him.

”Well, but I'm all yours. Am I not?” Lei Zhao lips stretched into a smiled as he traced a finger on her right cheek.

”Yeah. All mine.” He said with a grin on his face.

”Good. Now kiss me.” Yan Mei hoarsely whispered.

Lei Zhao grin broadened into a smile before crushing his lips into hers.  His lips were warm and soft. They parted slightly allowing her to slide her tongue inside. Yan Mei felt butterflies in her stomach. There was no denying that she felt something for Lei Zhao. Ever since he kissed her for the first time.  But she was too afraid to admit it.

She was scared that if she had feelings for someone else it would end up the same way it ended with Wang Lu.  She felt once she get attached to someone the person tends to leave her so she was scared.

But now, she knew she had to let go of everything and move on. Even though the memories will forever remain a scar in her heart.

She raised her hands and wrapped it around his neck as his grip around her waist tightened.

”I love you.” Lei Zhao whispered after a soft kiss, followed immediately by a stronger kiss.

Yan Mei's heart skittered when she heard him. She doesn't know why but anytime he said those three letter words she felt contend.

They pulled apart after a few minutes panting. Lei Zhao eyes blazed with desire as he whispered huskily in her ears.
