Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife

Chapter 262 Lucky



Chapter 262 Lucky

  Lei Zhao finished the breakfast meal with his secretary, Ye Xing. Afterwards, the two of them exercised at their reserved villa as they waited for Yan Mei’s spa session to end at around lunch time. 

Lei Zhao had finished showering. He was wiping his hair when his eyes landed on the clock on the wall, 15 minutes before noon, indicating that they would have their lunch soon. 

Lei Zhao then looked at his secretary and spoke, getting his attention. 

”I will pick Yan Mei up already from the spa. Have you reserved a place for us to eat later for lunch?”

”Yes, Mr. Lei Zhao,” Ye Xing answered, nodding at him once at the same time. “All will be prepared by the time that you go to the restaurant.”

”Okay then.” Lei Zhao gave his secretary a small smile, “Thank you. Are you sure that you are okay to eat here alone?” He asked, Ye Xing nodded as he gave his boss a small bow. 

”It’s fine, Mr. Lei Zhao. You have a moment with your wife.”

Lei Zhao smiled at his secretary once more. He then walked out of the villa on his way to pick up his wife in front of the spa. 

As Lei Zhao was walking towards the location, every woman’s eyes were on him. Lei Zhao was wearing another floral shirt and shorts, but still, even though he dressed simply, everyone found him attractive. 

”Is he a celebrity?”

”Wow, he’s so handsome!”

”Is he single?”

”Do you think he is here with someone else?”

”If he is no longer single, then his woman would be so lucky…”

A smile appeared on his face. He particularly liked the last sentence that he heard. Of course, Lei Zhao felt proud of himself. Other than his looks, he is proud of who he is—and how loving he is to people he cares about. 

Lei Zhao waited patiently outside of the spa, leaning on the pillar behind him. He crossed his arms in front of his chest, excited to see Yan Mei as he did not see her for half a day. 

’Now that I have settled things with Wang Lu, I can now have the time to be with Yan Mei,’ he thought, the door of the spa opening to reveal his wife. 

Lei Zhao’s eyes reflected excitement the moment Yan Mei walked out the door. She looked relaxed and refreshed at the same time. 

Yan Mei still wore the same clothes that she wore a while ago, but her hair now was in a messy bun, exposing the flawless skin of her neck. The moment her eyes landed on Lei Zhao’s familiar figure, Yan Mei’s eyes widened, a flush of blush appearing on her cheek. 

”Wifey!” 

Lei Zhao called out, Yan Mei quickly walking towards him to give him a hug. Lei Zhao embraced her as he kissed the top of her head, Yan Mei giggling as she looked up to stare into his eyes, a sweet smile appearing on her face. 

”You really picked me up,” she said, Lei Zhao, chuckling at her excited reaction.

”I told you I would, didn’t I? I kept my promise, Wifey,” he replied, the other people in the island looking at them with loving and jealous eyes of how sweet the married couple is. 

Yan Mei still had her arms wrapped around Lei Zhao’s waist, “I’m hungry… are we going to have lunch soon?”

”Yes,” Lei Zhao nodded, “Everything is prepared. Don’t worry.”

With that, Lei Zhao started walking, his arm wrapping around Yan Mei’s waist. Yan Mei also wrapped her arm around Lei Zhao’s waist, the two of them already walking towards the restaurant where Lei Zhao ate with Wang Lu a while ago. 

Lei Zhao’s face turned slightly serious when he remembered that he met with Yan Mei’s ex-husband and had asked him about the traumatic experience that she experienced five years ago. He internally sighed as he felt bad for lying to Yan Mei, wanting to tell her what happened so she won’t hide anything from her. 

After a few minutes of walking, the waitress led them to a spot near the ocean as well. Yan Mei had a refreshed smile as she stared at the waves crashing on the shore. 

The moment they sat down, the waitress also served them the food that Ye Xing ordered for them. They both had crabs and shrimps on their plate, along with some oysters. 

It had been long since Yan Mei enjoyed eating seafood. She grinned ear to ear as she somewhat danced on her seat, Lei Zhao, laughing as she found her action adorable. 

”You seem to be excited, Wifey,” Lei Zhao reacted, Yan Mei nodding enthusiastically.

”It’s been so long since I ate seafood, Lei Zhao,” Yan Mei reacted, drinking the iced tea that was served beside her plate. 

Lei Zhao watched Yan Mei, the guilt on his face slowly appearing as Yan Mei met his eyes. Lei Zhao’s eyebrows furrowed as Yan Mei’s smile slowly disappeared, her head cocking to the side as she wondered why Lei Zhao had an unusual expression on his face. 

”What’s wrong? You seem so uneasy, Lei Zhao,” Yan Mei reacted, Lei Zhao, sighing as he could no longer keep secrets from Yan Mei. 

”Yan Mei,” Lei Zhao called out her name and every time he said her name, she knew he was serious. “I’m sorry.”

Yan Mei raised a brow at him, “For what?”

”I kept something from you,” Lei Zhao straightforwardly said, Yan Mei’s face turning serious. “The reason why I was busy last night until earlier was because I had to deal with somethings—including me talking to your ex-husband, Wang Lu.”

Hearing this, the joy in Yan Mei’s eyes disappeared in an instant. Her lips turned into a tight line as her eyebrows twitched, not expecting what Lei Zhao had told her. 

”Wait you… met with Wang Lu?”

”Yes.”

Yan Mei scoffed, “For what? Even during our honeymoon?”

”I’m sorry.”

Yan Mei scoffed once more as she rolled her eyes at him. Suddenly, she lost the appetite to eat. She lost the excitement she felt when she saw Lei Zhao. She found it impossible for her to hear those words from him—why did he have the guts to talk to Wang Lu?

Didn’t they hate each other?

”You have to tell me,” Yan Mei said, her eyes narrowing as Lei Zhao felt coldness etched in her voice. “Everything.”

Lei Zhao gulped. He nodded as he heaved a small sigh, telling Yan Mei everything that he had been doing since yesterday until the talk he had with Wang Lu. 

”I asked him about what happened to you years ago.”

Hearing the first statement had instantly made Yan Mei’s body stiffen in surprise. Her trauma is something sensitive to her and with Lei Zhao knowing about it, she instantly felt uneasy. 

Seeing the discomfort on her face, Lei Zhao’s eyebrows furrowed in worry, feeling guilty of not being honest with her, but he has to be honest with her now. 

”I’m sorry, Yan Mei,” Lei Zhao apologized, “I had to seek for some clues about what happened to you and with the issue that is happening to us now, it could be connected to it. What Wang Lu knows may be of help—I had to do something about it, too, not only rely on the other people helping us.”

Yan Mei shook her head. She heaved a sigh as she started relaxing, knowing the reason why Lei Zhao had talked to Wang Lu. However, even though Lei Zhao was being honest with her now, Yan Mei could not help but feel uneasy still since the topic about her kidnap is sour. 

”Because of the talk I had with Wang Lu, we had gotten some clues about what was happening.”

”What?” 

The topic at hand now got Yan Mei’s complete attention. Both of them stared at each other seriously as Lei Zhao continued telling her what he had found out from the talk he had with her ex-husband. 

”The issues now may have something to do with the man who kidnapped you. Gu Zhi.”

The moment Yan Mei heard this, she sighed as she shook her head, remembering what happened years ago that still sent shivers down her spine. 

”I don’t even know why the man hates me. I am no longer with Wang Lu so why shouldn’t he leave me alone?”

Lei Zhao shook his head. He sighed once more as he spoke, the atmosphere between them becoming serious. 

”Gu Zhi’s target was never Wang Lu, but you all along.”

Yan Mei’s eyebrows furrowed in confusion, “What?”

Lei Zhao then told everything that he knew to Yan Mei. He told her about the talk he had with Wang Lu, and he had talked to her about the other clues and information that they had—including the involvement of Gu Zhi’s sister, Gu Ren. 

With everything connecting like a puzzle giving a clear picture, Yan Mei was obviously at a loss for words. She gritted her teeth as her hands on the table turned into a tight fists, her blood boiling in anger as she now found her suffering unreasonable. 

”So I was tortured… just because of his sister who’s so obsessed!?”

Yan Mei roared out in anger. She has always thought that the man was a rival of Wang Lu and he wanted to get back at him. But because of such a stupid reason like this he tortured her day and night and even drugged her multiple times untill he finally broke her?
