Chapter 338 - Home (1/2)
”Hey Lei Zhao” she raised her head briefly to look at him before returning to the tray of slop on her l.a.p.s
”I've already talked to the doctor, you'll be getting discharged from the hospital and coming home with me” he delivered softly, fighting a smile at her comical disappointment with the contents of her tray. At his words, she brightened visibly before deflating with a sigh.
”Not to complain or anything, after all, I'm completely tired of this hospital and disgusted even if I haven't seen beyond these four walls, the thing is I can't turn myself into a leech on you.” She replied before grabbing the spoon to the left and poked the contents of a plate.
”Don't be like that, you have a healthy bank account yourself” Lei Zhao countered gently
”I do?” She asked, genuinely puzzled as if the idea had not occurred to her at any point.
”Don't tell me you forgot that,” Lei Zhao answered with a sad smile, wondering how bad things really were for her to forget that she was the owner of a small fortune. Well not outrageously wealthy but independently so, a small bank account that he passed liberally for her regularly. Something he had started to do when they had started the harmless ruse.
Yue Yan tapped her head with a wan smile before she beamed at him ”cool, that means I should make arrangements of my own”
”That's not gonna work.” He pointed out casually.
”Why not?” she groused, glaring at him for a short second before she returned to eyeing the contents of her tray blatantly, the d.e.s.i.r.e for something different was obvious even to a blind man
”My wife has ordered me to bring you home,” Lei Zhao reported proudly but judging by her reaction, he should have eased her into the news, but he didn't know it was so damn explosive until she jerked and the contents of her tray went flying, luckily they only splattered on the bedclothes, too thick to go further.
”Woah, are you alright?” He queried a trifle ashamed at his insensitivity
”You're married now?” All her attention fixated on him
”Yes” he answered, feeling a trifle foolish
Ignoring the mess in front of her she aimed the spoon in his direction with a glare and a threat ”Tell me everything about her, don't miss a single thing”
”Why don't you come and see her for yourself, you guys will absolutely love each other” he returned with a smile
”Blackmail huh” Yue Yan sniffed then pouted
”There will be good food too” he added to sweeten the deal.
”Definitely blackmail” she nodded and dropped the plastic spoon with a Carter on the tray with its offensive contents
”Seriously, she's ordered me to bring you back home, she's already making the arrangements. If I leave you to your own plans I won't get a wink of sleep tonight or any other night for that matter” he pleaded with a smile
