Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife

Chapter 46 Friends

"Yan Mei."

"Yan Mei."

"Yan Mei!" Yan Mei jumped in her seat as she was too distracted to hear Su Bei. Her mind has been occupied with certain thoughts-thoughts about what Lei Zhao did to her in the morning.

"Yes, Su Bei?" She answered.

"Why are you so lost today?"

"I was thinking about something."

"Are you okay though or something is wrong with you and your husband?"

"Yes I am, No we are fine." Yan Mei replied.

Su Bei sat on the chair in front of her desk.

"Alright, do you have some more things to do?" she asked as she leaned back on the chair and looked around the office.

"Not really." She replied. Yan Mei heaved a sigh, she has completely forgotten that she had asked her friend out for lunch.

"Just give me a minute, I will just sign this document." Su Bei nodded as tapped her hands on the chair waiting for her.

"I'm done." She murmured. She turned off her computer then grabbed her purse as she stood up.

"What do you want to eat?" Yan Mei asked Su Bei as they walked out of the elevator.

"You're the boss." Su Bei said as she shrugged.

Yan Mei nodded. They walked out of the building and across the street. Since this was a commercial area, there were big stores and restaurants around. They entered a restaurant which was Su Bei's favorite.

They were ushered to a lounge and a waiter came to take their orders. A few minutes later, they were eating.

Su Bei looked at her with curiosity as she asked.

"Yan Mei you know you can't hide anything from me. So tell me what's wrong."

Yan Mei chugged down her water and sighed.

"I think I'm falling in love with my husband."

Su Bei chuckled when she heard her and shook her head helplessly. Her friend was a ruthlessly CEO but in terms of love, her EQ was probably zero.

"This is a bad thing because…."

Yan Mei looked around the lounge and bit her lips.

"I'm afraid he will leave me once he knows my past." Su Bei nodded.

"Does he love you?" Yan Mei stiffened and nodded.

"Yeah, I can see it in his eyes and he tells me every day."

Su Bei just stared at her friend, "Communication is very important in marriage Yan Mei, even though I haven't met your husband I can see he treats you well. If you don't tell him and he finds out himself it won't end well. Don't assume things for him, sit him down and tell him about your past, about why you're too afraid to fall in love. If he can't accept your past then when he isn't worth it."

Yan Mei sighed as she played with her food, suddenly she lost her appetite.

"For someone who has never been in a relationship, you're a good relationship advisor." Yan Mei grumbled.

Su Bei flushed, "Single people gives the best relationship advice, haven't you heard?"

Yan Mei snorted.

Lei Zhao looked through his emails blankly and groaned. He was been trying to concentrate for hours now but be can't. Was he too hard on his wife this morning? He knew he promised not to pressure her but the more he falls for her, the more selfish he becomes.

His phone ringing brought him out of the daze. Looking at the caller ID he raised his brows.

'Why was she calling him?'

Picking up the call, "Hello"

"At least pretend that you're happy to get a call from me." Liu Yifei said sarcastically in the speaker.

"What do you want?" Lei Zhao said baldly as he rolled his eyes.

"Guess what! I'm in city S and I brought a surprise for you." Liu Yifei said as she ignored his grumpy mood.

"Not interested." Lei Zhao replied.

"Lei Zhao, stop being a jerk! I'm the only female friend you have. You can't treat me like this."

"We are not friend-"

"Why, he said he won't come?" Lei Zhao stopped talking when he heard the voice in the speaker."

Raising his brows he asked, "Is that Edward Wu speaking?"

Liu Yifei humped and ignored his question.

"Come to IKE's restaurant, call me when you reach. I will come to pick you up." Liu Yifei hung up the call without waiting for his response.

A few minutes later Lei Zhao reached the restaurant, he called Liu Yifei who came downstairs to meet him. She smiled when she saw him. "I thought you wouldn't come."

Lei Zhao squeezed his brows, " I didn't come because of you. Where is that brother of yours."

Liu Yifei held his hands and smiled

"Where is your wife? I thought you will bring her along." Lei Zhao cold face softened when she heard her. Liu Yifei laughed when she saw the love-struck look on his face. historical

After Yan Mei finished eating with Su Bei she came downstairs, she saw a sexy lady wearing a mid-thigh dress and she was standing with Lei Zhao?

She squinted to make sure her eyes were not deceiving her. Unfortunately, it was really him. She could see the soft look on his face as he said something which caused the woman to laugh.

Yan Mei turned around so he wouldn't see her, biting her lips she heaved a sigh as she tried to hide the pain in her eyes. She felt someone was crushing her heart into pieces. Why was she feeling this way though?

"Let's go." Su Bei said . Yan Mei's eyes darted to the entrance of the restaurant and they weren't there anymore.

"Alright," Yan Mei replied nonchalantly.

Lei Zhao didn't see Yan Mei, following Liu Yifei they came to the VIP section of the restaurant. Entering the private room, Lei Zhao raised his brows.

"Surprise!" Liu Yifei said excitedly as she made her way to sit down.

Lei Zhao looked at his friends and his gloomy mood suddenly became better.

"What are you guys doing here?"

Henry Liu snickered, "Is that the way to greet friends you haven't seen for years?"

Lei Zhao glared at him, "Stop being dramatic I saw you just last month." He said and ignored him, he turned to the rest and smiled.

"You should have told me you're coming."

Edward Wu shook his head, "we wanted to surprise you."

Lei Zhao sat down and nodded.

"We should hang out tonight, I will call the rest."

Henry Liu said excitedly.

"The rest? All of you are in city S?"

Edward Wu nodded.

They were all close friends, they just separated ways after they finished university. Since they were all busy managing their family businesses.

" We heard you got married, invite sister-law-in too, we want to meet her."

Lei Zhao was quite surprised, "It's rare knowing you guys I thought you've probably already investigated her."

Edward Wu laughed when he heard him, "Oh we did but we didn't find anything. You really hid her well."

Lei Zhao shrugged, he didn't tell his friends it wasn't him who had hidden her information, but his mysterious wife.
