Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife

The following days passed by quickly. In the absence of Lei Zhao, Yan Mei couldn't help but feel that a part of her was missing. She had gotten used to having him around that she was starting to miss him. She sighed as she leaned in her chair and picked up her phone.

Opening up the messaging app, she typed a quick message.

Yan Mei: Are you still alive?

Her finger tapped rapidly on the desk as she waited for his reply. Ever since he left, he had never texted her and she was beginning to get worried. Unfortunately, she waited half an hour but the reply didn't come, leaving Yan Mei disheartened.

She stared at the files on her table and sighed.

"Here is your coffee boss," Su Bei said as she set the tray on the side of Yan Mei's desk.

Yan Mei gave her nod as she stared blankly at the load of paperworks piled on her desk.

"Are you okay," Su Bei asked worriedly as she looked at her friend who had been working nonstop since yesterday.

Yan Mei thought working would help her take her mind off Lei Zhao but she just couldn't forget his evil smirks and his shameless remarks. She knew he was changing her and changing her for the better. Even though she tried to be indifferent, she can't hide the fact that her icy heart was melting. The lost woman who was abandoned by her husband was finally finding herself.

"Yes, I'm fine," Yan Mei answered with a soft smile.

Su Bei raised her brows when she heard her. "Are you having problems with your husband?"

Yan Mei bit her lips and looked up at Su Bei. "No, it's just that he left yesterday but he has never called me to tell me if he has reached safely or not."

Su Bei grinned when she heard her friend. "So, you miss him or you're worried about him?"

"I-I don't know!"

Yan Mei yelled in annoyance. She doesn't really know why she is feeling restless.

"Maybe you have started liking him and you are afraid that he won't come back. You're afraid that he has abandoned you right?" Su Bei folded her hands as she stared at her.

"Maybe," Yan Mei mumbled, answering her question.

She was really afraid if ever he had abandoned her just like everyone did. She knew she was being paranoid. Maybe Lei Zhao was very busy, or he had lost his phone. Yan Mei tried to convince herself as she took a deep breath.

"Don't think too much, Yan Mei… when did he say he will be back?"

"Tomorrow."

"So why are you stressing yourself? Maybe he wants to give you space to wrap your head around this whole marriage deal or he is busy. Wait, if he doesn't come tomorrow then we think of something."

Yan Mei nodded and a smile formed on her lips. Su Bei, too, put a sly smile. For the first time, she was seeing her friend stress over a guy. She was now really curious about this man.

Su Bei retreated out of the office, leaving Yan Mei to her work. Yan Mei let out a breath and looked at the paperwork she had yet to go through.

After completing three contracts and reviewing her newest projects, Yan Mei pushed herself back leaning down on her chair then rubbed her hands on her exhausted face. Just as she was relaxing, her phone shook indicating that she had gotten a message.

Liu Yifei looked at Lei Zhao, and a sinister smile appeared on her lips.

"Tell me, how did you convince this woman to marry you. Wait, don't tell me you married her because your parents forced you to."

Upon hearing what she said, Lei Zhao rolled his eyes at her as if she had said something stupid.

"I married my wife because I want to… not because someone wants me to. I value marriage."

The corner of Liu Yifei's mouth twitched, but she kept a lid on the smile.

"You love her, don't you? I can't believe you have the heart to love someone!"

Lei Zhao swore softly under his breath and shot her a glare. If he knew he would meet her here at the coffee shop, he wouldn't have come.

Liu Yifei was the adopted sister of Edward Wu, one of Lei Zhao's friends. She used to chase Lei Zhao when they were kids, but he rejected her one night when she told him she loves him.

Lei Zhao felt she was too mischievous back then, and dating a friend's sister was prohibited in their group.

"Why wouldn't I fall for her? She is perfect."

Liu Yifei narrowed her eyes and smiled softly.

"Hmm, I see." Liu Yifei giggled and patted him on his shoulder. "Let's go to my house. My brother will be happy to see you!"

"I'm not sleeping with you, Liu Yifei, I'm married," Lei Zhao frowned as he said.

"Eww… who wants to sleep with you!? My husband is much better than you!"

Lei Zhao laughed when he saw the disgust on her face.

"Just because he is a CEO of a multibillion company? My wife is also a CEO, and she owns the biggest jewelry shop in city M."

Liu Yifei widened her eyes in shock.

"No way!"

Seeing her reaction, Lei Zhao smiled at her.

"Yes."

"What does she see in you? She can do so much better!"

Lei Zhao shrugged.

"Give me your phone. I haven't called her since I came here and my battery is dead."

Lei Zhao had been busy dealing with traitors in his camp he had forgotten to call her. He didn't know who was listening, so he lay low-key for a while until he finds all of them. He couldn't do anything that will put her life at risk.

Liu Yifei looked at Lei Zhao, who was eager to call someone and sighed. Love really changes people.

She got her phone from her pocket and gave it to him.

"Thank you."

Lei Zhao stared at the phone for a few minutes, contemplating what to do. He remembered her number, but he didn't know if he should call her or send her a message. Liu Yiefei looked at him with an amused look on her face.

"Don't tell me you are nervous to call your wife? Unless she doesn't love you! You're now chasing her?"

Lei Zhao ignored her and stared at the phone in his hands.

"Ha! Karma is a bitch, right?!"

Liu Yifei giggled when she saw the nervous look on his face.
