Chapter 87 - Under arrest (1/2)
Yan Mei rubbed her neck as she looked through the reports submitted to her. She really wished she had someone to help her with all of this.
'I really should find a vice president quickly.' Her phone rang, distracting her. Yan Mei picked up her phone; her brows bumped together when she saw the number was unknown. She was about to hang up, but something tugged at her heart, making her answer it.
”Hello?” Yan Mei raised her brows.
”Is this Mrs. Lei?” A baritone voice inquired on the other side of the phone.
”Yes. I am. Who is this?” Yan Mei asked as a bad premonition raised in her heart. 'Only a few people know she is married to Lei Zhao. So who is calling her? Did something happen to Lei Zhao?'
”I'm calling from the police station.” Yan Mei's heart skipped a beat in her chest.
”Police?! Did something happened to Lei Zhao?” Yan Mei asked anxiously.
”Yes, and No.”
Yan Mei scrunched her face. ”What do you mean?”
”I called to inform you you're under arrest.” Yan Mei rubbed her temples as she tried to calm down her beating heart.
”Under arrest?”
”Yes.” The man, on the other side, replied flatly.
”What am I getting arrested for?” Yan Mei squinted her eyes.
”For stealing my heart, Mrs. Lei.” Anger glistened in Yan Mei's eyes when she heard the person. The nerve of this person!
She can't believe she was worried about Lei Zhao for nothing. This was a prank call!
”You're crazy. Don't call this number again or I will find you and make your life a living hell!”
Just as Yan Mei was about to hang up the call, she heard Lei Zhao's voice.
”Yes, I'm crazy in love with you, Wifey. And I don't mind being in hell as long as you're by my side.”
Yan Mei's heart fluttered for a second before she erupted in anger.
”Lei Zhao!” Yan Mei bellowed as she pinched the space in between the bridge of her nose.
Lei Zhao chuckled at the other side of the phone. They were testing a voice changing software, so he used it on his wife. He didn't think she will be this angry.
”You stupid man. I thought something had happened to you! How can you be this cheesy to set up such a lame prank? How old are you, five?!”
Lei Zhao scratched his head as he listened to his wife scolding him.
”Sorry.” He mumbled.
”Sorry?! Will sorry changed the fact that I nearly got a heart attack because I was worried sick about you?”
”…..” Lei Zhao was utterly speechless. He didn't think his wife will overreact like this.
He could hear her panting in anger.
”Wifey…”
”What?!” Yan Mei snapped, crossing her eyebrows in irritation.
Lei Zhao flinched at her harsh tone. His wife is terrifying when she is angry. Lei Zhao mentally chided himself to not get on her bad side.
”I'm really sorry. Please don't be angry. I promise I won't do it again”.
Yan Mei snorted. ”Promise you won't do it again?”
Hearing Lei Zhao's soft voice, she couldn't bear to be angry with him.
”Yes, I promise to be a good boy. I swear and cross my heart.”
Yan Mei shook her head helplessly as her lips stretched into a smile.
”Any reason you called? Or you called just to prank on me?”
”I called to inform you I made a dinner reservation tonight at 7.”
Yan Mei's features softened when she heard him.
”Anything else?”
Lei Zhao chuckled, ”Yes, I forgot to tell you something this morning.” He stated teasingly.
”What?”
