Chapter 76 - Eternity. (1/2)

When Yan Mei came out of the restaurant, she saw Lei Zhao leaning on her car with his arms across his chest. She squinted her eyes to make sure she was not hallucinating. When she saw it was really him; she went up quickly to him, and hugged him. She laid her cheeks contentedly against his chest. The moment she was in his arms it was like all her worriedness were taken away.

She heaved a sigh, and relaxed; now that he was here, she felt safe. She trusted him as long as he was with her, she knew nothing bad could happen to her. The pain in her heart disappeared the moment his scent drifted into her nose.

Lei Zhao chuckled the moment they pulled apart, ”Wifey, I didn't know you miss me that much.”

A blush crept on Yan Mei's cheeks when she realized what she had done. She looked up at him and glared at him. Yan Mei noticed he was wearing a pair of blue jeans and a black t-shirt, paired with converse. They both stared at each other for a couple of moments before Lei Zhao cleared his throat. Pulling her out of her trance.

She narrowed her eyes when she saw the red rose, he was holding; she didn't see it when she hugged him earlier.

”Is this for me?” She inquired.

”Yes.” Lei Zhao stated, smiling at his wife who looked beautiful as always. He saw someone selling it in traffic and he suddenly thought of his wife so he bought it.

”A beautiful rose for Mrs. Lei.” Lei Zhao said softly as he bowed and offered the rose to her.

Yan Mei smiled radiantly as she reached out, accepting the rose. ”Thank you, Mr. Lei.” She said as she stood on her tiptoes and planted a kiss on his cheeks.

Lei Zhao's heart sipped a beat as he stared at her as she tucked her hair behind her ears looking intently at the rose with a smile tugged at the corners of her lips. Her smile was all that he had wished for when he saw the rose and seeing her with a smile on her face made his heartbeat rose.

”You're welcome,” He whispered.

”So, do you like it?” Lei Zhao asked scratching the back of his neck.

”I love it!” Yan Mei beamed.

”What are you doing here?” Yan Mei asked after a few seconds.

”I went to pick you up at work but your secretary said you are here for a meeting. So, I came to wait for you.” Lei Zhao explained.

”Oh, so you've been waiting for a long time?”

Lei Zhao smirked and shook his head, ”There is no such thing as a long time when I'm waiting for you. I can wait for eternity as long as you ask me to.”

Warmth rushed through Yan Mei. She felt her heart thumping as she gazed into his eyes.

”Wifey, are you touched?” Lei Zhao chuckled as he flickered her nose.

Yan Mei snorted, ”who is touched?!” she exclaimed as she avoided his gaze to hide the emotions brewing in her eyes.

Lei Zhao chuckled, ”Alright let's go.”

Yan Mei noticed several people passing them and most of them were giving them an envious stare. She noticed the women throwing deadly glares at her.

She rolled her eyes and nodded, ”Alright.

When they got home, they started preparing dinner. Lei Zhao as usual was the chef while Yan Mei assisted him.

He was cooking noodles because she suggested it. Yan Mei watched his every move. She was worried about his reaction if she tells him she met her ex-husband today and he insulted her.

She watched as he drained the noodles from the boiling water. Without thinking, Yan Mei just walked behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist. She felt him stiffened when she felt her presence.

Yan Mei felt like she needed this moment. After her encounter with Wang Lu today, she needed to feel his warmth.

Lei Zhao chuckled and placed his hand on top of hers.

”What's wrong?”
