Chapter 102 - I love you! (2/2)

Yan Mei smiled sadly in return and folded her hands before her. She fiddled with her fingers, avoiding eye contact with Lei Zhao.

”You don't like it?” Yan Mei pouted. Lei Zhao stared at her lips, and he wanted to bit it. He cleared his throat and shook his head.

”O-okay.” Yan Mei mumbled. She shrugged nonchalantly, feigning that she wasn't affected by what he said. She stared at her feet, distractingly.

”Wifey,” Lei Zhao chuckled. Yan Mei snapped her head towards him.

”I'm just teasing you. It's actually good since it's your first time preparing breakfast.”

Yan Mei stared at him for a couple of seconds and then started walking away saying nothing. Lei Zhao jolted from the chair and grabbed her wrist. He pulled her into his arms and encased her by holding her waist.

”Are you angry?” Lei Zhao asked

Yan Mei harrumphed and turned her head away, avoiding his gaze.

A smug plastered on Lei Zhao's face. ”Wifey, sorry.”

Yan Mei scoffed and ignored him.

”Okay, know that you asked for this.”

Yan Mei frowned. Before she could ask what he meant, Lei Zhao tickled her, melting her angered face. Yan Mei busted out laughing.

”Lei Zhao—ah-stop!” She yelled. Lei Zhao grinned.

”Not until you have said you have forgiven me!”

Yan Mei didn't want to give up, but the tickling was too much for, so she surrendered.

”Okay..o, I forgive you!” Lei Zhao smirked triumphantly and let her go.

He flickered her nose, ”I won.”

Yan Mei snorted, ”I will get back at you!”

”Oh, how do you plan on doing it?” He asked as his eyes wandered on her face. Yan Mei looked up and met his fiery gaze. She swallowed and stared back at him. Her heart fluttered in her chest, and her stomach swarmed with butterflies.

Her eyes lingered on his lips. Unconsciously, she licked her lips. God, she missed him. It's been so long since-

The lingering smirk on his face suggested he knew her train of thoughts, and he was amused. Yan Mei scoffed and pushed him away.

”I'm going to take a bath.” Yan Mei said and hurriedly scurried away.

Lei Zhao shook his head and stared at her back. Yan Mei stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him.

He saw her walking back to sit down. Taking a deep breath, she called him.

”Lei Zhao..”

Lei Zhao turned to look at her when he heard her calling him.

”Yes. Is there something wrong?”

Yan Mei's eyes met his, and her heart skipped a beat. Time seemed to slow as they just stood there staring at each other. Lei Zhao quirked his brows when he saw the emotions brewing in her eyes. It was hard for him to decipher the emotions.

”Wif- ” Lei Zhao was cut off by Yan Mei's voice, thick with a strong emotion.

”I love you.” Yan Mei blurted out.
