Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife-Chapter 44 He is hers.

Yan Mei opened her eyes and was greeted by Lei Zhao's closed ones. She smiled at his sleeping face. She is always mesmerized by how pure and gentle he looks anytime he is asleep. She missed sleeping on his chest while listening to his heartbeat.

This sleep is probably the most stable sleep she has had in days. She doesn't have to be afraid that he will leave her like everybody else or worry about his condition. Fortunately, the doctor said nothing was wrong with him.

He is right here beside her. Yan Mei's eyes soften.

He is hers. She gave him a small kiss on the cheeks and got up slowly and carefully to not wake him up.

After she finished taking a bath, she decided to surprise Lei Zhao. After all, it's been three days since he got back from the hospital and she still hasn't gotten the chance to thank him.

Lei Zhao woke up feeling the sunlight hitting his face. He groaned as he rolled over and sat up. He looked around the room and realized Yan Mei wasn't around. He hadn't realized how he has gotten used to sleeping on the same bed with her. He was disappointed to not have woken up with her by his side, giving her a good morning kiss.

He got up, took a shower, and came downstairs. Yan Mei turned around when she heard footsteps behind her. ƒ𝘳ee𝔀e𝚋n૦𝐯el.c𝗼𝓂

Lei Zhao came to sight and she almost drooled at the sight of him. Why didn't she notice that he was this handsome? She knew he was handsome but she really didn't pay attention to his looks.

Even with his bed rumpled hair, he looked gorgeous. He looked at her with a confused expression.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"I wanted to surprise you with breakfast in bed to thank you, but you spoiled it." She explained.

'Was she blushing?' Lei Zhao thought with a smug grin.

Yan Mei cleared her throat and bit her lips embarrassingly.

"But it kind of turned out awful."

Lei Zhao looked at her and he an inexplicably urge to pinch her cheeks. She looked so cute.

He looked at the plate of deformed eggs and the burnt toasted bread with a steaming cup of tea and didn't know whether he should cry or laugh.

"Thank you wifey." "Lei Zhao pecked her lips and sat down on the white chair in front of the kitchen counter. He grabbed a fork, took a piece, and placed it in his mouth. He chewed slowly.

"How is it?" Lei Zhao nodded stiffly and raised his thumb at her as he tried to swallow the egg.

He doesn't know if she poured all the salt or eggshells in the egg while mixing. This is the most difficult food he has ever eaten. But thinking it is the first food prepared by his wife and she did it to please him he decided to swallow it and pretend it's good not to hurt her feelings.

"Really?" Yan Mei asked unconvincedly as she raised her brows. She picked a fork and took a piece and placed it in her mouth. She widened her eyes and spluttered out the egg.

She hurriedly drunk coffee to clean the bad taste from her mouth.

"How can you eat this!" Yan Mei shouted at him and took the plate away from him.

"Because it's the first food you've cook for me, and I know you hate cooking but you did it for me. I don't care how it tastes, as long as it was prepared by you."

Yan Mei let out a sigh, "Stupid, so if I prepare poison will you drink it too?"

Lei Zhao nodded. "Anything my wifey gives me, I will eat. No matter what my wifey tells me to do I will do it."

Yan Mei stared at him. A sudden surge of emotions overwhelmed her. It made her weary, defensive and vulnerable.

This guy, what is he doing to her. Every day he surprises her, melting her iced heart.

Lei Zhao stared at her, seeing the complicated emotions in her eyes, his heart skipped a heart. The last thing he thought he was going to be was a wife slave.

But he has never felt so complete in his life. He had a wife and he couldn't be happier. His wife was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Everything about her drives him crazy. The way she blushes, the way she bit her lips or tucks her tongue in her cheeks when she is thinking about something the little things she does makes him love her more.

She was a puzzle that was missing a few pieces, but he didn't mind being her missing pieces. He wanted to have a future with this woman, he wanted to have kids, a family with her. He watched as she furrowed her brows. Why did she looked indecisive? Liking having a debate with herself.

Yan Mei grabbed his face, "What are you doing to me Lei Zhao?"

Panic filled her chest, tightening her it. She felt suffocated.

"What?" Lei Zhao asked.

"I'm supposed to be in control, I can't fall in love again."

His hands held her face making her feel exposed and vulnerable to his gaze.

"Why?" Yan Mei looked away.

"Because love is a scam!" Yan Mei shouted.

Lei Zhao opened his mouth and closed it again.

They stared at each other, both of them lost in their own thoughts.

Lei Zhao removed his hands from her face. "Is that why, you don't want to give me a chance? Because some jerk hurt you?"

Lei Zhao said sadly, rubbing his brows.

"When are you going to see that I'm not him. I love you and I would rather hurt myself then I hurt you!

Yan Mei jaw dropped, her heartbeat rapidly as she stared at him. His face was was, contorted with sadness and frustration as he glared at her and said, "stop being a coward and embrace what you feel."

His eyes soften and in a painful whisper he asked, "Tell me you feel something for me, just a little please."

Lei Zhao always thought people who beg other people to love them were crazy or stupid. He never thought one day he will be begging someone to love him too. Ignorance was truly bliss.

'I do, stupid!' Yan Mei thought.

She pulled the collar of his shirt and kissed him. She was falling deeply in love with him and she hated that feeling. She was afraid of saying those three words. Instead of telling him what she feels for him she would rather show it.
