Chapter 59 - Gala(1) (2/2)

”I can't wait for the night to end so I can slowly remove this dress from your body.”

Yan Mei lashes fluttered as her knees wobbled from the desire that spread through her. She looked up at him and saw him staring at her with his impenetrable eyes.

Yan Mei awkwardly cleared her throat and turned her head to the side avoiding his eyes.

”We should get going. We are already late.”

Lei Zhao nodded and took her head leading her out of the living room.

Their car pulled up at the hotel that the gala event was taking place. It was the fanciest hotel in city S owned by the Li family.

They got out of the car and walked to the entrance after Lei Zhao said a quick goodbye to their driver and told him he would call him once they were ready to leave.

Since they got there late, the event had already started and much to their relief the paparazzi had already left.  Lei Zhao didn't want their relationship to be in the public eye since they just started. Lei Zhao always had been a low-key person.

Once they entered the double doors of the ballroom where the event was being held, everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at Lei Zhao and Yan Mei.

Lei Zhao tucked Yan Mei's hand in the crook of his arm and started walking into the crowd. As they walked, people were staring at them while whispering.  Yan Mei raised her chin as she walked confidently with an aloof face. Her cold aura didn't make people dare to look at her in the eyes. Lei Zhao noticed the man looking at her l.u.s.tfully and he felt the urge to poke their eyes out.

Lei Zhao bent his head low to whisper her ear, ”You're too damn beautiful. I had to glare at half of the men here because they were checking my wife out.”

Yan Mei shivered from the thread of possession in his tone.

”If you haven't noticed, half of the women here are looking at you with l.u.s.t and want.” Yan Mei mumbled with deep venom in her voice.  She knew Lei Zhao was undeniably handsome and it was normal for women to get attracted to him but she still couldn't control the pang of jealous she felt.

”It seems we are both possessive huh?” Lei Zhao chuckled.

”I can't help it I don't like sharing what's mine.” Yan Mei whispered.

Lei Zhao looked at her in the eyes and he saw her eyes blazing with jealousy even though her deadpan face was expressionlessly.

They continued looking at each other's eyes with neither breaking eye contact until a soft voice called out Lei Zhao.

They both turned to looked towards the direction of the voice.

”Lei Zhao!” A woman squealed as she ran into Lei Zhao's arms.
