Chapter 60 - Gala (2) (1/2)

Yan Mei looked at the woman hugging Lei Zhao and her brows bumped together in a scowl.

”Pumpkin? What are you doing here? I missed you so much.” Lei Zhao said excitedly.

”I missed you too!”

She said releasing Lei Zhao from the hug. Yan Mei narrowed her eyes as she stared at the woman. Yan Mei didn't know who the woman was but she had to admit she was stunning, even though she wasn't worth being a rival she didn't like others touching what was hers.

”Who are you?” she queried coldly.

”Oh, I'm so sorry I just got excited seeing Lei Zhao. I'm Ying Sheng.”

Ying Sheng said with a smile offering her hand to her.

Yan Mei glanced at her stretched hand and ignored her.

Ying Sheng arched a sly brow and retreated her stretched hand with a shrug. Lei Zhao cleared his throat and wrapped his hands around Yan Mei's waist pulling her closer to him.

”Wifey, this is Ying Sheng. My cousin. We are really close that's why she hugged me. Don't get angry okay?” Lei Zhao murmured softly.

Ying Sheng raised her brows when she heard Lei Zhao softly explaining to Yan Mei as if he was afraid, she would misunderstand. It seems her cousin-in-law has her cousin wrapped around her fingers.

Yan Mei stared at him for a few seconds without saying anything.

”Okay, what about I let you be on top tonight?” Lei Zhao whispered in her ears.

Yan Mei's eyes flashed and turned to look at Ying Sheng.

She nodded politely at her, ”hello.”

Ying Sheng beamed when she heard Yan Mei greeting her. She had heard her cousin-in-law was an aloof person so she didn't really care about her ignoring her earlier.

”I have heard so much about you! You're more beautiful in person.” Ying Sheng squealed excitedly.

Yan Mei narrowed her eyes she wasn't expecting Ying Sheng to talk to her excitedly after the way she treated her.

She looked at Ying Sheng's eyes and saw her eyes glistening with admiration. 'This girl is really interesting.' Yan Mei thought as she offered a slight smile to Ying Sheng,

”Thank you.” Yan Mei replied.

Lei Zhao shook his head when he saw Ying Sheng trying hard to please someone for the first time.

”Pumpkin are you trying to please my wife?” Lei Zhao with his voice laced with amus.e.m.e.nt.

”Huh? No-no, it just cousin-in-law is really cool!” Ying Sheng quickly retorted.

”Cool? That is the first time someone has called you that wifey.”

Lei Zhao said as he chortled when he saw the horrified look on his wife's face. Yan Mei was used to being called cold, indifferent, and beautiful that Ying Sheng's answer just caught her off guard. It was an interesting change from the usual.

”You think I'm cool, why?” Yan Mei queried with a creased brow.

Ying Sheng licked her lips,

”Well, you have this cold aura around that make it difficult for people to approach you. You're confident, beautiful, strong, and independent. Also, you've cousin wrapped around your fingers.” Ying Sheng said throwing a subtle wink at Yan Mei.

Yan Mei chuckled,

”I like you. You're really blunt.”

Ying Sheng widened her eyes when she heard Yan Mei, ”Good! We should hang out sometime.”

Yan Mei saw the gigantic smile on her face and the pleading and hopefulness in her eyes. It seems she was Lei Zhao's favorite cousin too so she didn't have the heart to turn her down.

Yan Mei nodded, ”alright.”

Ying Sheng smiled heartily and turned to look at Lei Zhao.

”I have to leave before my dad starts introducing every bachelor in this room to me.” Ying Sheng gritted her teeth.

Lei Zhao threw his head back and laughed.

”Don't tell uncle wants you to get married to get rid of you.”

Ying Sheng rolled her eyes,

”Yeah, he thinks marrying me off would make me become a proper lady.”
