Chapter 99 - Brother-in-law (1/2)

”Leng Shao, what are you doing here?” Yan Mei inquired as she squinted her eyes.

Lei Zhao turned around when he heard Yan Mei's voice behind him.

”You know him?” Lei Zhao queried as Yan Mei came to stand beside him.

”Yeah, he is that friend I was talking about the other day.” Yan Mei said as a soft smile tugged at the corners of her lips.

”Leng Shao, meet my husband. Lei Zhao.” Leng Shao nodded politely at Lei Zhao.

”Lei Zhao, meet Leng Shao, my friend, and brother.” Lei Zhao stretched his hands to greet Leng Shao.

Leng Shao took Lei Zhao's hand, ”Brother-in-law. Nice to finally meet you.”

Leng Shao said with a friendly smile on his face, even though his heart was bleeding. He felt as if someone was squeezing his heart.

Lei Zhao's forehead puckered. As a man, he could see the affection lingering in Leng Shao's eyes anytime he stared at his wife.

'So was he just a friend??' Lei Zhao thought as his brows shot up. He released Leng Shao's hands and nodded.

”It's good that my wife had a friend and brother to take care of her during those years.” Lei Zhao said sardonically.

Leng Shao realized that Lei Zhao didn't like him from his tone, but he didn't mind. It was completely normal for a man to be hostile to a person interested in his wife.

Ignoring Lei Zhao, he turned to look at Yan Mei, ”I went to the company…”

Leng Shao trailed off when he saw Lei Zhao pulling Yan Mei closer to him and wrapping a possessive hand around her waist.

He looked up and saw Lei Zhao staring at him. Leng Shao knew Lei Zhao was warning him not to have any thoughts about Yan Mei. And he was showing off in front of me.

Leng Shao laughed bitterly inwardly and flashed Lei Zhao a smile. Yan Mei narrowed her eyes when she realized the confrontation between Leng Shao and Lei Zhao.

”You were saying?” Yan Mei asked Leng Shao, breaking the awkward confrontation between the two.

”I went to the company, but your secretary said you are sick so you didn't come to work. So I...”

Leng Shao scratched the back of his head, ”You were worried about me?”

Yan Mei interrupted him.

Leng Shao smiled, making his dimple popped out.

”Yeah, I remembered you look terrible when you're sick, and you're afraid of injections…”

Lei Zhao's muscle in his jaw twitched as irritation slashed through him.

”You don't have to worried about her. She is married now. Her husband will take care of her.”

Lei Zhao chided in clearly, his voice was thick with irritation.

”Oh,” Leng Shao said awkwardly. The atmosphere became tense for a moment before Yan Mei spoke, ”Come in.”

Leng Shao shook his head, ”Actually, I came here for another reason.”

Yan Mei crossed her arms over her chest as she waited for him to continue.

”I don't know if you would agree, but I want to take you somewhere. I have a surprise for you.”

Lei Zhao's expression hardened. He turned to look at Yan Mei, waiting for her response.

Yan Mei looked up to meet Lei Zhao's eyes. His eyes were boring into hers.
