Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife-Chapter 17 Her only regre
Yan Mei looked at him with a blank look. Last night was one of the best nights of her life in years. It was the first time in five years that she could sleep for that long. She rarely slept well at night. If she falls asleep, nightmares or even an assassination would wait for her. She always had to be vigilant, otherwise, that was the end of her.
In the business world, she had offended way too many people that allowed her to be on top in just three years. She had to be ruthless to survive. Fortunately, her enemies in the business world were taken care of and her father did well in hiding her identity so that no one from the other side would come looking for her.
Even if she was not in danger anymore, she still could not sleep well. She found out yesterday that the man beside her helped her sleep well.
Lei Zhao saw the complicated emotions in her eyes and couldn't help feeling soft for her.
"Wifey, when we get to the house, I will cook for you okay?"
Yan Mei raised her head and met his soft and pampering eyes. Her heart was uncomfortable, and she subconsciously blurted out, "Okay."
Lei Zhao's deep eyes brightened. His tight face suddenly eased and his lips bent gently into a smile. Yan Mei didn't speak anymore. Although her face was still indifferent, she couldn't help but feel her heart soften.
A few minutes later, Lei Zhao drove the car to a high-end community and parked the car into the parking lot. When they reached his apartment, Lei Zhao tried reaching for his keys in his pocket but was having a tough time finding it with all the bags he was holding.
Looking at his anxious face, Yan Mei said, "Let me help you." She reached out and looked for the key in his back pocket. Lei Zhao couldn't help but swallow the lump in his throat. He never thought he was an indulgent person, but in the face of his little temptress, he couldn't control himself. He tries to stabilize his body. With a hoarse voice, he couldn't help but ask, "Have you found it?"
The soft light scattered on the man's face, showing his perfectly handsome facial features. For the first time, she paid attention to the man's features. She had to say; he was a very handsome man. She never really paid attention to him, but even Wang Lu, whom she had loved, couldn't compare to him. Wang Lu was cold and there was always a murderous aura around his body, but this man exudes a gentle and warm aura.
"Yeah, I found it."
Lei Zhao smiled embarrassedly because he was getting anxious. He did not even think about searching his back pocket.
He took the key and opened the apartment door. He turned on the lights and waited until Yan Mei came in. She walked in and looked at the structure of the apartment. It was not large. It had 3 bedrooms, a kitchen, a dining room, a living room, a study room, and a balcony. It was the perfect apartment for a family of three. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚
When they got to the bedroom, she was impressed to see that the room was neat and clean. She could see the neon light of the city through the big floor to ceiling window.
'The night view from here would be excellent.' she thought.
By the time they finished packing, it was already late, so Lei Zhao cooked dinner for them. After they finished eating, Yan Mei went to take a shower. Yan Mei finished getting ready for bed and walked to the window. She opened the curtain and looked at the city's neon lights and high-rise buildings.
Meanwhile, Lei Zhao went to the bathroom to take a shower after being so uncomfortable with the sweat on his body from all the activities he did today.
Yan Mei stood by the window thinking about how it has already been 5 years. She had changed a lot in these years. Her favorite time of the day was still at night, though. At night she could rest for a while, think about her mother, think about how she hated that man, and think about her child. Her poor baby.
Thinking about her child, Yan Mei's eyes filled with pain. Her only regret was that she couldn't be with her child. Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath.
When Lei Zhao came out from the bathroom, he saw her standing in front of the window looking at the neon city. He walked towards her and hugged her from behind. He didn't like how she looked so desolate as if the whole world had abandoned her.
"What are you looking at?" Yan Mei's body stiffened from the hug, but relaxed hearing his familiar voice. She turned around and saw his lower body covered with a towel and his hair still wet. His facial features were extremely handsome under the bright light and his deep eyes were gently looking at her.
Drops of water fell from his hair to his cheeks, down to his neck and chest, and slowly made its way to his bath towel. It was extremely sexy. Yan Mei blushed slightly. She turned her head away and glanced out the window again.
"I think these neon lights are beautiful."
Lei Zhao lowered his head and pressed his forehead against hers.
"Hmm, beautiful."
Yan Mei did not know if he was referring to her or the neon lights. He picked her up and put her on the bed. His lips found hers in a deep and passionate kiss. His hands tangled in her hair, holding her head back. With her neck bare, he trailed kisses and sucked on her tender skin.
Yan Mei gasped and couldn't help but touch his chest. She was still uncomfortable after yesterday's tossing. Her brows were slightly wrinkled. With his keenness, Lei Zhao naturally felt her discomfort. He anxiously asked, "Wifey, what's wrong?"
Yan Mei looked at him, and her heart warmed. This man was very careful and keen. She looked at his eyes and saw that there was no hypocrisy, just genuine concern. She blushed and hurriedly looked away, blurting out, "I'm tired."
