Chapter 336 The call
Yan Mei woke up from the sensation of someone planting a kiss on her forehead. She bemoaned as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes.
"What would you like for breakfast?" Lei Zhao asked as he planted a kiss on her lips.
"Lei Zhao, I haven't brushed my teeth!" Yan Mei giggled as she rolled away from him. Lei Zhao grabbbed her preventing her from escaping. He pullled her against his chest, nuzzling his face in the crook of her neck.
"Hmm I know...but I don't really care." Lei Zhao tightened his arms around her, smiling against her shoulder.
Yan Mei laughed as she tried to break away from him.
"Rogue, let go of me!"
"Not a chance babe. I'm never letting you go!" Lei Zhao chuckled, tickling her.
"Lei Zhao, stop…please stop " Yan Mei said in between laughter as she tried to pull away from him. She playfully punched him in the stomach as she untangled herself from his grasp and scooted to the edge of the bed.
"Ouch, when did you become this violent!"
Yan Mei smirked at him, "The moment a rogue decided to tickle me to death when he haven't fed me breakfast yet!"
Lei Zhao grinned,"So I can tickle you to death after I have feed you very well?" He said gruffly, his eyes blazing as his gaze traveled to her lips.
Yan Mei sucked her lower lips between her teeth, bitting down briefly.
Lei Zhao's eyes darkened at her action.
"I know what you are thinking but just don't." Yan Mei scoffed as she jumped to her feet, throwing a pillow at him before she darted towards the bathroom.
Leaving a grumpy bad wolf behind.
**********
After Yan Mei had brushed her teeth, she took a long hot shower. She changed into a big cashmere sweater and shorts before coming downstairs.
The moment she reached the kitchen, she saw Lei Zhao on the phone. In a blink of an eye, she saw the blood drained from his face.
"It's everything okay?" But Lei Zhao was far lost in his thoughts to even hear her.
"How.." he mumbled as the phone dropped from his hand. The words of the police officer continued to echo in his mind.
Yan Mei sighed and waited for him to come out of the shock that he was in. She studied the side of his face as she gazed down at him, examining the way his brows furrowed.
After a minute of him not saying anything, Yan Mei finally broke the silence.
"You know the fact that you answered a call and suddenly became pale is making me really nervous. Did you perhaps get a girl pregnant?"
Yan Mei said teasingly, trying to lightened the awkward silence.
Lei Zhao didn't look at her but the corner of his lips turned up slightly, "I will never…"
Lei Zhao said quietly as he kept his eyes ahead. Frustration and concern roared through Yan Mei. She couldn't help but shuddered as a horrid feeling came over her.
She knew something bad would definitely happened. Her life has been going too smoothly these days. It was too hard to believe.
She has finally found peace with herself, Wang Lu got out of the hospital unscathed and told her that he has jailed his mother for paying the driver who hit her with a car. She never thought that he would do something like that for her.
Leng Shao and Su Bei has officially dating and she was happy for her friends.
Ying Sheng also seem to get her life back on track and she looked very happy the last time she had met her.
It was like everyone has gotten their happily ever after. It's too good to be truth.
"Lei Zhao…" Yan Mei called out, fear evident in her voice.
This time, he smiled at her meeting her eyes for the first time since he received the call.
"I-I just received a call from the police station" Lei Zhao said slowly.
"Police station?" Yan Mei brows knitted together in confusion.
"Yes" Lei Zhao forced out huskily.
"Do you remember Yue Yan?"
Yan Mei nodded, " Yeah, your ex-girlfriend and best friend…" Yan Mei said quietly.
"I just received a call from the police station. They said there is someone at a hospital called Trauma hospital claiming to be her. She was in coma and just woke up but she can't remember anyone except her name and mine."
Yan Mei widened her eyes in surprise. "But I thought she disappeared?"
Lei Zhao nodded, "I thought she had left me… I thought….but all this while she was in coma. The person who found her, said she was in a pretty bad shape when she found her. They never thought she would wake up."
Yan Mei blinked and waited for him to calm down before approaching him.
Lei Zhao felt a light brush of fingers across the back of his hand. She glanced up to meet his face.
"It's okay, you don't have to blame yourself. Look at the bigger picture, she is okay now and that is the most important thing."
Yan Mei whispered softly as she cozies him.
"Sorry it just that I promised her that I would take care of her."
Yan Mei smiled and nodded in understanding. She knew all about her husband ex girlfriend so she understands his fears and guilt.
"Go and bring her home, if it's really Yue Yan then she is definitely coming home. I'm curious about your only female friend at high school!"
Lei Zhao gazed at her in disbelief. "Home? As I'm I should bring her to our house?"
Yan Mei smiled,"Of course! She might be feeling scared and lonely all by herself. I can accompany her"
Lei Zhao stared at her as if she had lost her mind. Which women in her right mind would allow her husband to bring home his ex-girlfriend?!
"No, I'm not bringing her in our home. That's absurd."
Yan Mei chuckled, "You said your relationship was all a facade to protect her. There was nothing between you too so what's the problem?"
