Chapter 263 - Compensation (1/2)

Yan Mei's body was trembling in anger as her hands on the table are still closed in a tight fist. She gritted her teeth, her nails digging on her palm, almost making it bleed as she felt her blood boiling through her veins.

She knew from Lei Zhao that the target of Gu Zhi, the psycho, was her all along—just because his sister, Gu Ren, fell in love with Wang Lu?

Ridiculous! Yan Mei thought that it is completely ridiculous to experience such a thing. Gu Ren was so in love with Wang Lu, and because of that love, with her knowing that he is married to her, she would tell Gu Zhi, his older brother to PUNISH her?

”I've been tortured for so long… I have endured this much… I was hurt and I was drugged… I almost lost my sanity…”

Yan Mei kept mumbling to herself, but Lei Zhao could hear it. He furrowed his brows in worry as he never saw this silent angry expression on Yan Mei's face.

He had to admit that seeing her this way sent chills down his spine. With Yan Mei's anger boiling inside her as if looking for a way to escape, Lei Zhao gulped as he eyed Yan Mei, nervous of what she is feeling.

”It was all because of her love towards him that I deserve to be punished!?”

Yan Mei's voice was loud this time. It got the other customers' attention, Lei Zhao's eyes widening as he saw that Yan Mei was about to lose it.

”I already broke up with Wang Lu, didn't I? Why should I be punished until—”

”Wifey, Wifey!”

Lei Zhao immediately stood up, instantly walking to Yan Mei's side as he held both of her shoulders in an attempt to calm her down.

”We're going to handle this, okay? We're going to make things better,” he whispered, making sure that Yan Mei would hear him.

Yan Mei was still glaring at Lei Zhao. Her body was still trembling as she thought it ridiculous for her to be punished to such lengths just because Gu Ren was obsessed with Wang Lu.

”I thought he was dead,” Yan Mei mumbled, ”But why is he still alive? I know that Wang Lu had done something about this,” she added, Lei Zhao, sighing as he grabbed his chair to sit beside her.

”We're going to do something about this, alright? There is nothing to worry about,” he replied, Yan Mei's eyes now furrowing in confusion and at the same time, doubt.

”Oh? What are you two going to do? And you seem friendly with my ex-husband now. Don't you two hate each other?”

Lei Zhao heaved another sigh, ”We're going to do what we can, alright? I know we hate each other but we have the same goal, Yan Mei,” he said, Yan Mei raising a brow at him.

”Same goal?”

”Yes.” A smile crept on Lei Zhao's face, ”We have a common goal: to protect you.”

A light scoff came from Yan Mei as she rolled her eyes at Lei Zhao. She then crossed her arms in front of her chest out of frustration as she still felt irritated, but at least, she has calmed down now.

”Whatever you two are doing, you guys are so unpredictable,” she just commented, making Lei Zhao laugh as he playfully ruffled her hair, Yan Mei, narrowing her eyes at him.

”Put this thought aside now,” Lei Zhao said lovingly, ”We are out on a honeymoon, remember?”

Yan Mei turned her body to look at her husband, ”Says the guy who let me sleep first. Says the guy who let me go to the spa alone.”

”Aah…”

Yan Mei has a point. He now feels guilty seeing Yan Mei this way, a nervous chuckle coming from him as he now started opening the crab for Yan Mei to eat.

”I'm sorry, Wifey,” Lei Zhao apologized, ”But I will be giving you my full attention now, I promise,” he added, Yan Mei looking at him with still doubt in her eyes.

”You even prioritized talking to my ex-husband,” she complained, making Lei Zhao chuckle as he found what she said funny. ”Is he more important than you wife?”

”Wifey…” Lei Zhao was doing his best to coax Yan Mei. ”It is that you are important that's why I swallowed my pride and talked to him even though we hate each other. It is to protect you.”

”Hmm…”

Yan Mei found what he said convincing. Seeing that the expression on her face softened, another chuckle sounded from Lei Zhao as he got a chunk of the crab and extended his hand towards her face in an attempt to feed her.
