Chapter 99 - Brother-in-law (2/2)
”Alright.” Yan Mei said, breaking the eye contact with Lei Zhao.
Lei Zhao's face twisted, and he pressed his lips together, not saying anything.
Leng Shao beamed, ”Good! I will wait for you to change your dress.”
”No.” Lei Zhao declared, making Leng Shao freeze.
Yan Mei scrunched her face, ”Why?”
Lei Zhao turned to look at her, ”Wifey, you're sick. I'm afraid your condition would worsen.”
Lei Zhao explained softly. Yan Mei sniffled and smiled, ”Don't worry, I will be fine. Leng Shao wouldn't let anything happen to me, and I will take care of myself.”
Lei Zhao's brows bumped together as he stared at Yan Mei.
Noticing his lousy mood, Yan Mei cleared her throat.
”I will come with my husband. I hope that's okay?”
Yan Mei commented as she turned to look at Leng Shao.
Leng Shao faked a smile and nodded.
”Alright.” He agreed as he turned to look at Lei Zhao. He saw the smirk on Lei Zhao's face, and Leng Shao rolled his eyes.
'I can't complain since he loves Meimei, and that's the most important thing.' Lei Zhao thought bitterly
”Then it's settled. We will change. Do you want to come in and wait?” Lei Zhao asked.
”No, I will wait in my car.” Leng Shao declined politely.

Because Yan Mei was sick, Lei Zhao selected a straight pair of jeans and a black turtleneck sweater paired with white sneakers for her. He crouched down in front of her as he tied her shoelaces.
”Lei Zhao, don't you like Leng Shao?” Yan Mei suddenly asked, making Lei Zhao paused in lacing her shoe for a while.
”Why are you asking that?” He retorted as he continued with what he was doing.
Yan Mei heaved a sigh, ”I saw the way you spoke to him earlier. I hope you guys can be friends since he is like the brother I never had.”
'So she doesn't know the guy is interested in her?' An unknown glint passed through Lei Zhao's eyes. He looked up at her and nodded.
”Alright. Sorry I just got jealous for a moment. He was talking about how you are afraid of injections. As your husband, I don-”
Yan Mei cut off Lei Zhao with a kiss. Lei Zhao responded with a raw need; her cold mouth warmed and softened as she responded with a certain fierceness of her own.
It's been like forever since she felt his lips against her. Lei Zhao ended the kiss after a few minutes and played his thumbs on her swollen lips.
”Silly…there is no need to be jealous.” Yan Mei reprimanded him.
Lei Zhao grinned, ”Alright.”
Suddenly it hit Yan Mei, ”Will you get sick because of the kiss?”
Lei Zhao chuckled and ruffled her hair, ”Don't worry, I don't get sick easily.”
Yan Mei nodded, ”Then let's go. Leng Shao is waiting for us.”
