Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife-Chapter 8 Let’s get married

"Oldman Yan, your granddaughter really resembles her mother. She is really beautiful," Oldman Lei said, breaking the awkward confrontation between Yan Mei and Lei Zhao. Grandpa Yan smiled when he heard him.

"Yeah, my Xiaomei is beautiful, just like her mother. Xiaomei, this is Lei Zhao, Oldman Lei's grandson."

Yan Mei nodded stiffly at Lei Zhao when she heard her grandfather.

"Let's leave the kids alone so they can get to know each other. We old people have a lot of things to discuss too. It's been a long time since I've seen you," Oldman Lei said as he dragged his friend out of the coffee shop.

Yan Mei and Lei Zhao sat face to face. Neither of them was in a hurry to break the frigid silence. Yan Mei had a good impression of Lei Zhao since he didn't take advantage of her when she was drugged.

Only a few men can do that. Thinking about his offer, she realized it wasn't that bad.

Anyway, she knew her heart was dead already and there is no way she would fall in love again. Also, he is her grandfather's favorite candidate for a grandson-in-law.

Thinking about love, Yan Mei was tired. So tired that she no longer wanted to believe in love anymore.

She could not fall in love with someone again and grandpa has forced her to this extent. How anxious must he be for her to get married?

Anyway, she knew that eventually, she would have to get married to make her grandfather happy. So why not choose the man in front of her?

"Let's get married," Yan Mei said coldly.

When Yan Mei said this, Lei Zhao, who was drinking his coffee, suddenly choked on the coffee. Seeing him cough, Yan Mei quickly handed him a tissue.

"Mr. Lei, are you okay? I thought you wanted me to marry you this morning to repay your life-saving grace or have you changed your mind?"

After a while, Lei Zhao stopped coughing. He smiled softly to Yan Mei and said gently, "I'm fine, don't worry. Thank you for your concern."

With a thoughtful look on his face, he said, "Are you sure you want to get married? Marriage is not a child's play and once we get married, I won't ask for a divorce." 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚

Even though he wanted to marry her and was thinking about how to convince her, he didn't expect her to suddenly propose that they should get married. He wanted her to marry him because she wanted to, not because of pressure from her grandfather.

Yan Mei frowned when she heard him.

"Well, thank you for reminding me, but I know what I'm doing. I will try to be a good wife."

Lei Zhao smiled when he heard what she said.

"Since you have agreed to marry me, then we will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow morning."

Yan Mei nodded indifferently as she took a sip of her coffee. A few minutes later, she got up and looked at Lei Zhao.

"Mr. Lei, if there is nothing else to discuss, I will see you tomorrow at the Civil Affairs Bureau at eight o'clock. Don't be late."

Lei Zhao grinned. He liked how his wife was a little spitfire.

"Okay. See you tomorrow."

Yan Mei nodded indifferently. "Then I will leave first. Enjoy the rest of your coffee."

Lei Zhao looked at the woman who was leaving the coffee shop and a glint of light passed through his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.

- THE NEXT DAY -

Su Bei looked at her friend and sighed.

"Yan Mei are you okay? You have been staring at your coffee for a couple of minutes now without drinking it." The sound of Su Bei's voice brought Yan Mei out of her daze.

"I got married," Yan Mei muttered.

Su Bei spluttered her coffee when she heard Yan Mei.

"What?"

Yan Mei nodded.

"Yes, we went to get the certificate this morning," Yan Mei said as she looked through the window of the coffee shop.

"Wait, is it the guy who saved you from Fang Yan who asked you to marry him as a life-saving grace?" Su Bei said as she looked at her friend.

Yan Mei had told Su Bei what happened last night. 𝑓𝚛𝚎ℯ𝘸𝙚𝘣𝚗𝘰νeƖ.c𝒐𝐦

"Yes," Yan Mei replied softly.

"You… what happened? How could you decide so rashly? Marriage is no joke. It involves two families. Do you even know who he is or what he does for a living?"

Yan Mei fell into deep thought as she took a sip of her coffee. She frowned when she realized that her coffee has become cold.

"No. Grandpa set up a blind date for me. When I went, it was him. I'm bored with these blind dates and he is the best candidate so far, so I chose him. It's not like I can fall in love with somebody again," Yan Mei said faintly.

Su Bei sighed when she heard her. Just as she was about to speak, a phone rang. She glanced at her phone and saw that it was her mother.

She smiled apologetically at Yan Mei as she picked up the phone.

"Mom," Yan Mei did not hear what Su Bei's mother said, but she suddenly saw Su Bei's face turn pale.

"Okay, I'm coming right away."

Yan Mei looked at her friend, who looked pale, and asked worriedly, "Is everything okay?"

Su Bei forced out a smile as she got up.

"Yeah, don't worry. I will see you later at the office. My mom told me to do something for her. Sorry, I have to go."

Without waiting for Yan Mei to reply, Su Bei left the café. Yan Mei frowned and sent her a message:

Yan Mei: Take a few days off of work. Take care.

She knew her friend had some financial problems, but she always had too much pride to ask for help. Because she doesn't want Su Bei to feel uncomfortable, she pretends not to be aware of it.

Yan Mei looked through the window and tapped her fingers on the table as she thought of a way to help Su Bei without letting her know.

Just as she was contemplating what to do, a shadow settled from across her.
