Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife

Chapter 28 Is it a crime to fall in love?



When they got to Grandpa Yan's house, they saw the oldman pruning flowers.

"Grandpa, I came to see you with Mr.Lei"

Grandpa Yan turned around and saw Yan Mei next to Lei Zhao and he smiled happily.

"Xiaomei! Come over let Grandpa look at you."

Yan Mei run into his arms, "Grandpa I miss you."

Grandpa Yan patted her back and laughed heartily. "If you miss me, don't you know where I stay? Oh I forgot, you're married now so you've already forgotten about your old man".

Yan Mei pouted, "Grandpa how can I forget you!"

Lei Zhao looked at his wife being childish and he was really surprised, he knew her indifferent face was a mask but he never thought she was this childish. A smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he watched the exchange between her and her grandfather.

Grandpa Yan looked at Lei Zhao and beckoned at him.

"Why are you standing there, come let Grandpa see you."

"Grandpa Yan,hello." Lei Zhao walked over and greated him politely.

Grandpa Yan pretended not to be happy, "Why are you calling me Grandpa Yan? We are now family, call me Grandpa directly."

"Grandpa". Lei Zhao was very fond of the old man so he followed his wishes and called him.

"Grandpa."

The old man smiled,"Good boy, don't stand at the door, let's go inside and talk."

They followed the old man inside, Lei Zhao gave him the gift they brought and placed it on the table.

"Grandpa I heard you like tea, so we brought you some tea bags, hope you like it."

Grandpa Yan nodded, "Thank you, I hope she is not giving you a hard time."

Grandpa Yan asked with a smile. "No, Grandpa. Yan Mei is really good"

Grandpa Yan turned to look at Yan Mei and said softly,"Xiaomei, I know your marriage was in a rush but I hope you can give this marriage a chance. Grandpa wants you to be happy."

Yan Mei turned to look at Lei Zhao who had that his signature smirk on his face and rolled her eyes at him.

"I know Grandpa."

They spend sometime with the old man and ate lunch with him before they left. When they were about to go Grandpa Yan invited Lei Zhao to his study room.

Grandpa Yan looked at the young man infront of him and nodded with satisfaction.He can see the affection in his eyes anytime he looked at his granddaughter and he was happy to have such a good son-in-law.

"What do you think about Yan Mei?"

Grandpa Yan asked as he stared at Lei Zhao.

"She is smart, independent and I can see she has been hurt before making her a little insecure to trust someone." Lei Zhao said softly.

Grandpa Yan sighed when he heard Lei Zhao.

"Has she been having her nightmares again?"

Lei Zhao narrowed his eyes when he heard the old man. So, he knows about her nightmares? Maybe he can tell him what is bothering his wife?

"Yes, she has been having nightmares. " Lei Zhao nodded.

"Has she told you why she has been having those nightmares?"

"No."

Grandpa Yan tapped his fingers in the table and stared blankly in a daze.

"Yan Mei, that child has suffer alot. Her mother got into an affair with her bodyguard whose identity no one knows. He had saved her from an assassination so she begged me to hire him as a bodyguard. At first I didn't want to because I couldn't find anything about him. But later, she convinced me and I agreed. I didn't know that guy will seduce my daughter. "

Grandpa Yan sighed, and he looked heartbroken.

"I didn't know my daughter has already fallen for that bodyguard so I agreed to a business marriage with the Li family. I thought it will help both our businesses. When my daughter got to know about the arranged marriage she confronted and told me she was inlove with the bodyguard and she was pregnant with their baby. I couldn't accept it, I thought that guy wanted to seduce my daughter because of our family property so I hired people to get rid of him and asked my daughter to abort the baby."

Lei Zhao narrowed his eyes when he heard him, he never thought his wife's parents had such a cliche love story.

"When my daughter found out she got angry and disappeared from this country. I tried looking for her for years but is like she had disappeared from the surface of this earth. I couldn't stop blaming myself. I thought because of my selfish reasons I killed my daughter."

Tears formed at the corners of grandpa Yan's eyes as he said.

"Untill three years later, Yan Mei came to the door claiming to be my daughter's child. No words could describe my feelings at that moment. She looked exactly like her mother. People thought she was a con-artist but deep down I knew she was my granddaughter. I could see her mother in her. The only problem was that she hardly talked, she was alone by herself and she was always indifferent."

Grandpa Yan took a sip of tea, paused for awhile and looked up at Lei Zhao.

"One night, I saw her trying to commit suicide."

Lei Zhao froze when he heard Grandpa Yan. 'Suicide? Why would she try to commit suicide?'

"Suicide?" Lei Zhao asked his voice thick with panic. Grandpa Yan nodded.

" I was so shock and afraid, I didn't know what to do. Fortunately, Yan Tang was home, her uncle, we tried to talk to her and convince her not to. That's when she started telling us what she had gone through. I still remember her look that night. She looked so hopeless, her eyes were empty and she looked like a lifeless doll that night. I will never forget that day, because I felt like it was my fault. With tears in her eyes, she asked me,"

"Grandpa I'm a disaster star right? Why does bad things keep happening to me. Even God hates me that's why he let me suffer like this, is it a crime to fall in love?" Yan Mei said with agitation then she started laughing manically.

"I can still remember the sound of that laugh, I had never heard anyone laughed with so much pain. She was just twenty-four years at that time but my precious granddaughter didn't have the vibrance that a girl at her age should have."

Lei Zhao clenched his fists and his heart was hurting. What had his wife gone through?

"I know you must be curious to know what she told me that night but that is her story to tell, not mine. All I can tell you is that she was hurt because of love. She had love someone too much and that love had been her downfall. So please don't hurt her, if you do I don't mind selling my soul to the devil to destroy you. This is how much my granddaughter means to me."

Lei Zhao tried to calm down as he absorbed what he has just heard. 'His wifey had been hurt because of love? Who in his right mind will hurt such a unique lady like his wife?'

"I know Grandpa. I really like Yan Mei I won't hurt her, and I will wait untill she is ready to tell me."

Grandpa Yan nodded with satisfaction.

"Good, let's go she must be waiting for us. Also, make sure you're by her side when is raining. She normally has mental breakdown when is raining. She seems to hate the rain".

"Okay, Grandpa."

When Lei Zhao and Grandpa Yan came downstairs Yan Mei was busily browsing on her phone. She looked up at them, "are you done talking?"

Lei Zhao nodded, "yeah let's go home".

They said their farewell to Grandpa Yan and went back home.

When they got home they met an unexpected visitor waiting for them.
