Chapter 47: Jealous

When Lei Zhao got home, he opened the door, changed into a pair of home slippers. When he turned on the light, he saw Yan Mei sitting on the sofa. A confused frown marred on his forehead.

'Why was she sitting in the dark?' she had the clothes she wore to work this morning still on. Lei Zhao suddenly realized that she looked angry. Her lips were tightly pressed in a straight line and her deep eyes stared at him as if she was examining him.

"Why are you sitting in the dark?" Lei Zhao asked softly as he strode towards her on the sofa.

"Because I want to." Yan Mei coldly retorted.

"Let's eat outside tonight." Lei Zhao said ignoring her temper. He thought she was angry about what happened this morning.

Yan Mei sneered, "Why the woman couldn't accompany you tonight?"

Lei Zhao creased his brows, confused.

'Why does she sound like a nagging wife?'

"What woman?" He asked confused.

Yan Mei humped ignoring him. She doesn't know why she was behaving like this. She had come home earlier today because she couldn't get the sight of Lei Zhao looking softly at that woman from her mind.

She didn't even realize that she was sitting in the dark until Lei Zhao asked her, She had gotten lost in her thoughts all day. Seeing him with that woman made her realize that she can't lose him.

Lei Zhao sighed, "If you don't tell me how I know the woman you're talking about."

"After my husband told me he loves me this morning, I saw him getting cozy with another woman this afternoon!" She huffed in exasperation. Her chest rose up and fell with each breath.

Suddenly Lei Zhao realized that she saw him with Liu Yifei this afternoon and she is jealous. This means she loves him too right? Because why would she be jealous if she felt nothing for him. Lei Zhao smiled internally but his face was devoid of any emotions as he stared at her.

Yan Mei stood up as she pointed at him angrily, "You fvcking liar, I can't believe I nearly fell for your lies."

"Yan Mei." Lei Zhao said in a serious tone.

Yan Mei widened her eyes when she heard him mention her name. He has never called her Yan Mei before. At first, it was Miss Yan and after they got married he always called her wifey. Now because of an unknown woman he was calling her by her name. Even though her name sounded good in his mouth she couldn't appreciate it now.

Yan Mei took a step back. Lei Zhao saw her eyes gleamed with hurt then it was quickly replaced by anger.

"Don't mention my name." Yan Mei said nonchalantly. Her face was back to her usual indifference. Lei Zhao realized she was building her walls again.

"Yan Mei." He growled his voice laced with frustration and anger. This woman will surely drive him crazy. One moment she was acting like a jealous wife and the next moment she was indifferent. Why is it so difficult to understand women!

He grabbed her arm and pulled her towards him, she slammed her fist into his chest and tried to push him away but he held her hand immobilizing her.

"Why are you throwing tantrums when you saw me with another woman? When you made it clear this morning that you can't fall in love with me. Are you jealous?"

Lei Zhao asked angrily tightening his hold on her hands.

"Yes, I'm jealous damn you!"

Yan Mei grabbed the collar of his shirt and violently smashed her lips against his. They kissed each other intensely both of them fighting for dominance. Yan Mei bit his lips as if she wanted to inflict pain on him for making her lose control.

Lei Zhao groaned and picked her up to hold her closer she wrapped her legs around his waist without breaking the kiss. With her butt seated in his arms, Yan Mei held his head as their lips moved in a fiery motion, their tongues dancing with each other.

After a few minutes, they pulled away to catch their breath. Lei Zhao grinned when he saw her swollen lips and flushed cheeks. He pressed his forehead against hers as they tried to catch their breath.

Lei Zhao put her down gently. Yan Mei looked away avoiding his gaze. Lei Zhao held her chin and made her look at him.

"The woman saw me with this afternoon is called Liu Yifei. We went to the same university and I'm friends with her brother. They came from city M and decided to give me a surprise visit. Also, she is already married. She is like an annoying sister I never had. Nothing special." Lei Zhao explained grinning mischievously.

Yan Mei narrowed her eyes when she heard him. She looked at him embarrassed and blushed. She realized she has been overreacting.

"Oh sorry." Yan Mei said softly. Lei Zhao burst into a fit of laughter. His wifey was really cute.

"It's okay, I would've reacted worse if I saw you with another man."

Yan Mei widened her eyes when she heard him and nodded swiftly.

"Do you still want to go with me to dinner?" Lei Zhao said as he tugged her hair behind her ears.

Yan Mei nodded.

"Yes."
