Chapter 111 - Celebrating (1/2)

Before Yan Mei would close from work, she received a message from Lei Zhao that he can't pick her up, so he would send Ye Xing to pick her. At first, Yan Mei was disheartened, but she reasoned that maybe Lei Zhao was busy. Massaging the back of her neck, Yan Mei shut down her computer, picked her bag, and walked out of her office. Because she had promised Lei Zhao that she wouldn't overwork, she closed early today.

Saying goodbye to Su Bei, Yan Mei made her way to the parking lot; she saw Ye Xing was already waiting for her.

”Madam.” Ye Xing said politely as he opened the door for Yan Mei. She nodded politely and sat at the back. Silence fell in the car as Ye Xing started driving. Yan Mei leaned back against the seat and closed her eyes.

Ye Xing stole a glance at Yan Mei through the rear-view mirror when they stopped at a red traffic light signal. Yan Mei opened her eyes and gazed out at the slow-moving traffic.

”Ye Xing, is there something you want to say?” Yan Mei asked bluntly as she turned to look at Ye Xing. A trace of surprise passed through Ye Xing's eyes. He didn't think Yan Mei would see him stealing glances at her.

Even though he had been caught, he was not the one to shy away from things. So he told Yan Mei what he was thinking.

”Yes, I think Boss is lucky to have met Miss. Your presence has brought happiness in his life.” Ye Xing commented.

”No, I'm the one who is lucky to have met him.” Yan Mei retorted with a small smile.

Ye Xing glanced at Yan Mei and nodded, saying nothing.

Twenty minutes later, they reached their destination. Before Ye Xing could get down to open the door for Yan Mei, she opened the door by herself and strode towards the door.

Yan Mei frowned when she realized the lights were on. Was Lei Zhao home? When she entered, she saw Lei Zhao coming from the bedroom.

”Lei Zhao.” Yan Mei's heart skipped a beat when her eyes met his. She ran to him; a grin tugged at Lei Zhao's lips as he held his arms out, welcoming her into a tight embrace. Yan Mei jumped into his arms, wrapping her legs around his waist and arms around his neck. She kissed his lips grinning,

”Welcome home.” Lei Zhao said as he kissed her passionately.

Yan Mei kissed him back as Lei Zhao wrapped his arms around her.

”Well, this is a good welcome.” Yan Mei chuckled.

”Did you miss me?” Yan Mei inquired. Lei Zhao grinned and nodded.

Yan Mei's arms and legs tightened around him.

”So, how much did you miss me?” She whispered as a mischievous smile spilled from her lips.

”Hmm…” Lei Zhao trailed off as if he was thinking about his answer.

”Oh… only a little.” He teased.

A gleam of deviltry passed through Yan Mei's eyes.

”Only a little?” Yan Mei pouted.

”Then I guess you would sleep alone tonight and the nights after,” She mumbled as she unwrapped her legs and slid on the floor.

Without waiting for his response, she walked past him towards the bedroom.

Lei Zhao chuckled and grabbed her hand, pulling her into his chest. He stroked the side of her face and trailed a finger along the line of her jaw. He touched her neck and down to the top of her silky shirt.

”Wifey, I'm just joking. I missed you. I could barely concentrate on work. It seems whatever spell you cast on me is working.” Lei Zhao said as he chuckled.

”You're constantly in my head, and I can't get you out of my mind.” Lei Zhao lifted her chin with his finger and stared into her eyes.
