The man said with amusement laced in his voice. He watched how Yan Mei’s face paled at the sight of him and he chuckled inwardly.

Oh Feng Mei, it’s good I still have an effect on you.

”Are you okay Miss?” He asked this time with fake concern laced in his tone.

”Y-yes I am. Sorry and excuse me.” Yan Mei said and started walking away without sparing him a glance.

How can it be him? No no Yan Mei maybe they just look alike. That’s the only explanation Yan Mei could bring up after all he saw Wang Lu kill the man.

That man, her biggest nightmare. A shiver ran along Yan Mei’s spine thinking about the past.

Yan Mei didn’t want to think about those dark moments. He was dead and he wouldn’t get the chance to hurt her again.

No, she is stronger now. No one can hurt again. With that thought Yan Mei finally relaxed.

”Hey, Yan Mei are you okay? You just zoned out on me. I have been calling you but you didn’t hear me.”

Su Bei asked worriedly.

Yan Mei turned to her friend and nodded.

”Yes, I’m fine. Sorry. Let’s go.”

Su Bei raised her brows but just nodded.

The man watched Yan Mei leaving and his lips raised into a bloodthirsty arc.

”Feng Mei, Feng Mei we finally meet again.” The man chuckled humorlessly earning weird gazes from people on the streets.

***********************

Yan Mei leaned against her chair and heaved a sigh. She couldn’t get the man she met this afternoon out of her mind. She rummaged her hands through her hair as she tugged at it roughly.

She sighed and pushed herself off the chair. Slowly memories she has buried and haven’t told anyone began to assault her mind.

Tremors crept inside her and she swallowed the bile in her throat and flickered her eyes shut.

She found herself shaking as she sucked in a harsh breath trying to calm down but it was just useless.

Yan Mei grabbed her phone and dialed Lei Zhao’s number. She pressed the phone to her ear and listened to the line ring untill he picked up the call.

”Wifey….”

Hearing his velvet voice calmed her tremors.

”L-Lei Zhao….” Yan Mei stammered causing Lei Zhao to frown at the other end of the phone. Judging from her tone, he knew something was wrong.

”Wifey…are you okay? What’s wrong?” Lei Zhao asked worriedly.

Yan Mei blew out air, she tried to talk but nothing came out.

”Yan Mei…say something!” Lei Zhao panicked voice finally snapped Yan Mei out of her trance.

”Yes… I’m fine. Have you had lunch?”

Lei Zhao raised his brows at the other end of the phone. He clearly didn’t believe his wife but he was sure she didn’t want to talk about whatever was bothering her.

”No, I’m currently in the middle of a meeting.” Lei Zhao said softly. He had paused the meeting just to talk to her. Only God knows how scared he was when he heard her stammering voice.

”Oh, did I disturb you?” Yan Mei asked.

”No, you’re more important. Don’t worry. Are you sure you are okay? Do you want me to come there?” Lei Zhao asked gently.

”No-no. I’m really fine. I just missed you. But hearing your voice I’m now much better!”

Lei Zhao heaved a sigh, “I missed you too. Don’t overwork. I will see you later. I love you.”

”I love you too.” Yan Mei said and hung up the phone.

Now that she has spoken to Lei Zhao she felt much more calmer. She wasn’t alone now and no one can hurt her now.

With that thought, Yan Mei placed her little episode at the back of her mind and buried herself into her work.

*******************************

Lei Zhao looked at Ye Xing and furrowed his brows.

”Tell me where did the madam go today?” He asked Ye Xing. Since his accident he had assign a personal bodyguard to keep an eye on Yan Mei. He didn’t want to risk her safety since they haven’t found the person responsible for his accident.

Ye Xing gave the cafe Yan Mei went surveillance to Lei Zhao. Lei Zhao watched his wife eating with his best friend and then when they walked out she had bumped into someone.

The other person’s face couldn’t be seen but Lei Zhao saw Yan Mei’s face paled at the sight of the person. She looked scared?

Who can generate such a scared reaction from his wife? Lei Zhao tapped his fingers on the table and fell into a deep thought.

”Find out who the person who is in the video is.” Lei Zhao ordered.

”Yes, Boss.”

Lei Zhao rubbed his temples and took a deep breath.

”Any news on the investigation?”

”Yes, Sir. We have finally found the people involved in the incident. We just need to find out how hired them.”

Lei Zhao nodded, “Hurry. There are so many enemies lurking around. The sooner we solved this the better.”

Ye Xing nodded. “Yes, Boss.”

Ye Xing left Lei Zhao alone in the office. The moment Ye Xing left Lei Zhao’s phone rang.

He looked at the caller ID and a soft smile tugged at the corner of his lips.

”Pumpkin, how are you?” Lei Zhao asked Ying Sheng the moment he answered the call.

”I’m good cousin, You?” Ying Sheng excited voice sounded. Lei Zhao raised his brows. It’s been a long time since he has heard such excitement in Ying Sheng’s voice.

”I’m good. So…are you in some kind of trouble that’s why you’re calling me?” Lei Zhao chuckled as he asked.

Ying Sheng pouted at the other side of the phone.

”No, cousin. I want to ask if we would be going for the horse riding this Saturday. You promised me.”

Lei Zhao had forgotten about this. “Yes, we would go, don’t worry.”

”Alright, see you there then. Bye bye.”

Lei Zhao shook his head helplessly with a soft smile tugging at the corners of lips.
