Chapter 24: Faking the orgasm

Lei Zhao buttoned his shirt and turned to look at her. "So, what do you want to eat?"

Yan Mei looked up to stare at him. His expression was open and gentle although she didn't miss the sadness that flickered in his eyes.

"Actually, I like the food you prepare more and we can watch a movie in the house if you want." Yan Mei said in a low quiet tone.

"You don't want to go on the date with me?" he echoed, staring at her puzzledly. 'Didn't she say she would give him a chance, so why was she refusing to go on the date with him.?'

Yan Mei bit her lips, observing the agitation on his face.

"No…it's just that I think eating food prepared by my husband and watching a movie on a sofa while cuddling is a better date-." Yan Mei trailed off.

Lei Zhao looked up to her and saw her brown eyes now shimmering with a surge of emotions. This woman of an impenetrable mask who shows a little emotion on her face had such a look in her eyes.

"Wifey, I never knew you were the cozy type." Lei Zhao told her with a small tremulous smile.

"You don't know a lot of things about me." Yan Mei muttered as she exhaled loudly. Lei Zhao leaned down and brushed a kiss on the tips of her nose before pressing another one against her lips.

"That is true but at least I know my touch drives you crazy- and you're mine." He murmured, a slow smile curving on his mouth.

Yan Mei pushed him away from her, "it's getting late. Let's go." She muttered bleakly and turned her face away from him.

Lei Zhao grinned rakishly as he started the car. His eyes glimmered with a mischievous calculation. A few minutes later, he swung the car in a parking space in front of a grocery store.

"Wifey, let's some groceries." Yan Mei quickly got down and headed straight to get a shopping cart.

"What should we get?" Lei Zhao asked, taking the shopping cart from her hands. Yan Mei shrugged. "I'm not a picky eater as long as there are no shrimps in the food. You?"

Yan Mei glanced at him when he didn't answer her. He had that evil smirk on his face again.

"What do you want to eat?" Yan Mei prompted.

"You," he replied with a wink.

Yan Mei rolled her eyes. Leave it to him to make shameless remarks.

The fruits section was closest so they went there first.

Lei Zhao picked a couple of fruits. When they reached the bananas, he turned to look at her.

"Wifey, do you like bananas? If even though I have a natural one which tastes better, there is no harm in eating this one too."

Yan Mei snorted, "Who said yours taste good? It's horrible."

His nose scrunched up. "Really? Is it bad?" He looked so horrified, so cute that she wanted to laugh.

"Yep. You should try to improve the taste." Yan Mei added.

"You're kidding"

Yan Mei shook her head. "But I thought you said you were neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with it."

Yan Mei pursed her lips to keep herself from laughing as she took in his expression. He looked so serious and hurt like he has suffered a blow to his pride.

"So you were faking the orgasm?" He continued to ask.

Yan Mei bit her lips and looked down on the ground to prevent herself from erupting into laughter. But in Lei Zhao's eyes, she was admitting to faking the orgasm.

"Oh" Lei Zhao eyes shuttered and he said gruffly. His expression grew grimmer.

An awkward silence fell between them. Yan Mei who was battling to keep her laughs in, ended up, bursting into loud laughter.

"Mr. Lei you should've seen your face right now. Haha, I'm just kidding."

Lei Zhao stood in a daze as he looked at her laughed, the laugh completely enveloped her face. Her laugh was so free and pure. It floated through the air like a melody. In that tiny splinter of time, Lei Zhao felt a glorious shining moment of pure euphoria. Suddenly, his heart started beating fast in his chest.

A grin tugged at his lips from her teasing.

"Ha! You got me wifey that's a good one." Lei Zhao pulled her into his arms and wrapped his hands around her waist.

"When I get you beneath me, I will make sure you enjoy the thirst very well so that you never forget it." Lei Zhao whispered huskily in her ears. Yan Mei shivered and a sudden gush of desire overwhelmed her.

She felt hot and blushed. Embarrassed, she spun around; picked the bananas, and placed it in the cart. After picking up fruits they went to the vegetable station and he picked whatever he wanted.

Out of the corners of her eye, she spotted the ice cream section. Her eyes were filled with nostalgia as she remembered a scene from the past

"Meimei, there is something on your nose." A man said as he pointed at a girl's nose.

"What?" The girl furrowed her brows in confusion. The man smiled and licked the tip of her nose.

The girl blushed and her eyes were filled with warmth and love looking at the man. "There was a little bit of the ice cream on your nose." The man said softly and mussed her hair.

"Wifey, do you want an ice cream?" Lei Zhao's voice snapped her out of her stupor. She turned to look at him, shook her head, and strode forward leaving him alone. Lei Zhao stared at her back, he didn't miss the nostalgic emotion in her eyes.

Sighing heavily, he turned and saw chocolate in the next section. He remembered his mom saying something about girls liking chocolate and he saw her eyeing the chocolate earlier.

He picked the one he saw her looking at from the counter and followed her. He sighted her waiting for him at the cashier. Yan Mei looked at the cart when he reached her and saw the chocolate she was previously gawking at.

She doubted he was someone who would like sweets. He definitely had seen her staring at those chocolates. 'Why was he so nice?' She wasn't supposed to fall in love again. But he was just so...thoughtful.

She looked up at him for a moment, when she caught him looking back at her with a grin on his mouth, she looked away.
