Chapter 256 - Meeting with the rival (1/2)

”Why? You already slept late last night, and now you're not going to have a spa day with me?”

Yan Mei was starting to feel annoyed with what was happening already. They arrived on the island together with the thought of enjoying the alone time they have.

They came to this island for their honeymoon. However, Yan Mei could not help but feel that Lei Zhao came here to work!

Yan Mei crossed her arms in front of her chest, ”How could you leave me alone and have a spa without you? Are you sure that you're not keeping anything away from me?”

With Yan Mei's tone, Lei Zhao could not help but furrow his brows in worry. He heaved a small sigh, then put both of his hands on her shoulders, his thumb caressing her skin.

”I'm sorry, but as I promised you, I will try to finish this as quick as I can so that all my time will be yours, alright?”

Hearing this, Yan Mei pouted like a child. She even narrowed her eyes at Lei Zhao, the man chuckling as he playfully pinched the cheeks of his wife.

”I promise you that I will be done with this, alright? I have to meet someone to finish this case. Only then will my attention be given to you with no problems and hindrances.”

Yan Mei still had her eyes narrowed at Lei Zhao. After a few seconds, she heaved a sigh, shaking her head in the process as she crossed her arms in front of her chest.

”Fine. I will let last night and today slide, alright?” A smile then appeared on her face, remembering that she will be having a spa day alone to herself. ”I'm excited about the half-day spa session. It's been so long since I had one.”

”Yes, yes!” Lei Zhao enthusiastically nodded as he planted a kiss on top of Yan Mei's head, ”I envy you in having a spa date to yourself, but you deserve this hard work as well. I will make sure to finish earlier so I could make it up to you, alright?”

”Okay, okay!” Now Yan Mei could not help but giggle. She nodded as she playfully rolled her eyes at her wife, already letting this slide. ”Then I'll be on my way then. I'll enjoy it today. You better make it up later!”

”Of course, Wifey!” Lei Zhao had a smug grin on his face, ”I will make it up to you in bed as well.”

”Oh, you!” Yan Mei playfully rolled her eyes at Lei Zhao. ”I'll be off then. I'll see you later.”

With that, Yan Mei kissed Lei Zhao on the cheek. As she left the house, Ye Xing appeared on the veranda. He secretly arrived at the villa before Yan Mei woke up to accompany his boss in the meeting with Wang Lu.

”Where did you say that Wang Lu is waiting?” Lei Zhao asked seriousness etched in his voice.

”He's already in the restaurant. He arrived here early in the morning with the help of the bodyguards that I sent to fetch him,” Ye Xing answered, Lei Zhao, nodding in approval as he looked at himself in the mirror.

Lei Zhao was wearing a classic Hawaiian shirt paired with cargo shorts. Despite looking so simple, his looks are unparalleled.

”Let's go meet him then,” Lei Zhao said, a light passing through his eyes as he wanted to get down to business for them to get to the bottom of this issue.

In the restaurant found on the island, Wang Lu watched over the sea as he waited for Lei Zhao to come over. He was in an area of the restaurant that was overlooking the sea.

Wang Lu had a deadpan expression on his face. He felt the breeze kiss his skin as he watched the waves crashing on the shore, a scenic appearance before him as he somewhat appreciated the view before him.

At first, he did not want to come. How could one come to his ex-wife's husband's invitation? His hands at his sides balled into tight fists as his eyes reflected malice, remembering the hatred and jealousy he felt towards Lei Zhao.

Wang Lu hated everything about Lei Zhao. He could not help but be jealous of how Yan Mei is so happy with him. He wondered if Yan Mei was ever this happy with him. He thought if Yan Mei was better off with Lei Zhao than with him.

With his thoughts running wild, Wang Lu could not help but be irked. Wang Lu started comparing himself to Lei Zhao. He then noticed that in terms of success, Lei Zhao is better than him.

Other than that, his looks were even above him. When it comes to handling Yan Mei, he could not help but compare how her smile is with him compared to when she is with Lei Zhao's.

In conclusion, Yan Mei is happier with Lei Zhao, and that Wang Lu is almost nothing compared to Lei Zhao.

Wang Lu gritted his teeth. He found himself stupid for coming here when it was clear to Wang Lu that he hated everything about Lei Zhao.

Yet, why did he come? Why did he stay? Why is he waiting for him now?
