They stayed like this for a few minutes, enjoying the peaceful silence between them.

Lei Zhao’s body relaxed, and his breath calmed down.

”Wifey,are you okay?” He asked softly.

”Yeah, I-” Suddenly her stomach rumbled loudly interrupting her.

Lei Zhao chuckled making her face red with embarrassment.

”I will go find something for you to eat.” Lei Zhao said as he got down from the bed.

He picked his trousers from the floor and put it on.

”Wait for me okay?”

Yan Mei scrunched her face and shook her head.

”No. I want to go with you.” Yan Mei pouted.

”I don’t want to be alone here.” Yan Mei whined but the actual truth was that she was afraid he wouldn’t come back.

What if the moment he leaves everything turns out to be false.

Lei Zhao saw the fear in her eyes and he gave up.

”Okay, let me find you clothes. Edward will have some here.”

Lei Zhao said as he walked towards the wardrobe in the room.

Yan Mei furrowed her brows when she saw Lei Zhao removed a T-shirt and pants from the wardrobe.

”Here.” Lei Zhao gave it to her but she just wrinkled her nose.

”I don’t want to wear another man’s clothes.” Yan Mei complained.

Lei Zhao chortle, “Wifey..it’s mine. This room is mine. Edward Wu bought this mansion and allocated rooms for us. In case we come to New York. ” Lei Zhao explained.

”Oh.” Yan Mei said awkwardly.

”Yeah,also it’s new since I rarely come here. Most of the clothes are new.”

Yan Mei nodded and took the shirt and trousers. After she was done wearing it, Lei Zhao came to her side and lifted her into his arms, effortlessly.

”I can walk. Also, you just woke up, you shouldn’t do this. What about your back injuries?” Yan Mei asked worriedly.

”Don’t worry Wifey…your husband isn’t that weak. Also I like having you in my arms.”

Yan Mei smiled and nestled in his arms.

Lei Zhao gently brought her down, heading to the kitchen.

”Lei Zhao?” Yan Mei suddenly called out.

”Hmm?”

”Don’t you think the bodyguards are giving us weird looks? Do you think they know…”

”Yes, but it’s normal between marriage couples don’t be shy.”

Yan Mei rolled her eyes and ignored him.

”What would you like to eat?” Lei Zhao asked as he set her down on one of the bar stools

”I will ask the chef to prepare food for you.”

”Anything as long as you will feed me.” Yan Mei said.

”Sir, Madam. Can I help you with anything?”

They both turned to find an old man standing behind them, waiting patiently.

”Yes, please make porridge for my wife.”

Lei Zhao smiled politely at the man.

”Okay, Sir.”

****

Twenty minutes later, the chef brought them the food.

Lei Zhao removed the lid, and picked up the spoon.

He blew gently on the hot porridge and smiled softly at Yan Mei.

”Open your mouth.”

Yan Mei opened her mouth and like a kid ate all the porridge Lei Zhao fed her. In a blink of an eye, the bottom of the bowl could be seen.

Lei Zhao ruffled her head, “Good girl. Do you want to eat again?” Lei Zhao asked softly.

Yan Mei blinked and nodded.

”Hmm”

Lei Zhao heard about the ruckus his wife had made when she heard he was dead. He was distress.

Lei Zhao knew because of him, his wife revealed her secrets to people. In order to save him, she had risked her life.

If news get out of the things his wife can do, Lei Zhao knew powerful people will come for his wife.

People are always afraid of the unknown and they won’t rest until they get rid of it.

Fortunately it was Edward Wu who witnessed everything. He is the only one who he can trust to protect his wife and keep everything a secret.

Lei Zhao picked up the bowl the chef gave and handed a spoonful to her mouth. Yan Mei opened her mouth slightly.

Before she can swallow, Lei Zhao captured her mouth in a kiss.

Yan Mei gasped since she was caught off guard.

Lei Zhao pulled away and smirked at her.

”Wifey, the porridge is very delicious.”

Yan Mei blushed and glared at him. Before she could complain, Lei Zhao brought another full spoon to her mouth.

Yan Mei opened her mouth then Lei Zhao captured her lips again. This continued until the second bowl was finished.

Half entered Lei Zhao’s stomach and the other in Yan Mei’s stomach.

Edward Wu who came to see this rolled his eyes.

”Can’t you keep your hands from each other. You don’t have to run this gross acts in her face.”

His disgusted voice sounded behind them. Lei Zhao turned around and glared at him.

”You’re just jealous. Lonely ass.” Lei Zhao retorted.

”Whatever.” Edward Wu muttered under his

breath.

”Hello, Miss Yan.”

Yan Mei turned around.

”Hello, Mr.Wu”

”Glad to see you back on your feet.” Edward Wu said before looking at Lei Zhao.

”Hurry up and let’s go. Auntie is in a bad shape.”

Lei Zhao stiffened when he heard Edward Wu.

”My mother? What happened to her?” He asked with his voice thick with fear.

”Let’s just say she didn’t take the news of your accident well.”

Edward Wu said as he rubbed the back of his neck.

”Why did you tell her? You should have kept it a secret.”

Edward Wu heaved a sigh.

”Your mother was the one who called me. She said she is afraid something has happened to you so we should look for you. Do you think we could have lied to her?”

Lei Zhao scrunched his face in worry.

Yan Mei placed a comforting hand on his shoulders.

”Don’t worry, I’m sure Auntie would be fine.”

Lei Zhao squeezed out a smile.

”Yeah. Let’s go home.”
