It was almost 9 PM, but they wanted to have some alone time together while the little Niu Niu is now fast asleep.

Even though it is just hanging out on this hotel’s balcony, it was enough as long as they are spending time together.

That’s all that mattered.

A sweet smile had flashed Lei Zhao’s face. He’s finally happy to be with Yan Mei after Niu Niu hogged her to himself.

He had to admit that he was jealous. However, he could do nothing about it since Niu Niu is indeed a child.

As Lei Zhao wandered in his thoughts, suddenly, Yan Mei’s phone on the table buzzed, making him look at her phone screen.

He respected privacy. However, with it being an unsaved number and with what is happening between them because of the mysterious man, how could Lei Zhao leave the phone alone?

’It might be him.’

Lei Zhao quickly picked up Yan Mei’s phone. He stared at it for a few seconds while it was ringing until he got the courage to put his finger on the screen to answer the call.

He put the phone against his ear. The moment the call connected, the person on the other line suddenly began to speak, not even greeting the owner of the phone hello.

”F-Feng Mei.”

Lei Zhao’s eyebrow twitched. It was the voice of a man. Who is he? But based on his voice, it was someone familiar, and because Lei Zhao is so keen, he immediately knew who it was.

It was Wang Lu, Yan Mei’s ex-husband.

”He’s back. I wanted to tell you that he’s back. I want you to know that your life may be in danger and that he may be stalking you again! Feng Mei, you have to believe me. You have–“

”I know,” Lei Zhao interrupted him, feeling irritated with how this man kept on going on and on with his words as if he was talking to Yan Mei. “You don’t need to call my wife. And you don’t have to watch over her.”

Lei Zhao immediately ended the call, his hand on Yan Mei’s phone tightening. His lips turned into a tight line as his eyes turned cold, irritated at how the man spoke to her as if he still mattered in Yan Mei’s life.

’The audacity!’ Lei Zhao put Yan Mei’s phone on the table in front of him as he thought to himself, ‘He is the ex-husband! How could he watch over my wife like that?’

”Lei Zhao?”

Lei Zhao snapped out of his thoughts. He instinctively turned back to see Yan Mei wearing Lei Zhao’s shirt that looked too big on her. She wore plain black dolphin shorts underneath that accentuated her flawless skin.

She then sat beside her husband and kissed his cheek, curious as to why he seemed to be in a daze.

”What’s wrong? You look serious,” Yan Mei commented, Lei Zhao slightly furrowing his brows as he felt guilt in his heart.

”I’m sorry, Yan Mei.”

His wife furrowed his brows, “For what? I just took a shower, and you’re apologizing to me?”

”Erm…” Lei Zhao scratched the back of his head, “While you were taking a shower, I saw an unknown number calling your name and had to answer it because I was worried–with what’s happening and all.”

Yan Mei nodded slowly, slightly giggling at the same time.

”Sure. It’s okay. You’re worried about that?”

Lei Zhao looked at Yan Mei straight in the eyes.

”Well, as I listened, it turned out to be Wang Lu.”

When Yan Mei heard this, her facial expression became slightly serious. She cocked her head to the side, wondering what her ex-husband could be talking about with her current husband.

Furthermore, why could Wang Lu be calling?

”He spoke so fast… about giving you a warning.”

Lei Zhao didn’t want to speak about it in detail. Even though it was about Wang Lu, it involved the man Yan Mei feared, so he did not dare tell what they have talked about in the conversation.

”Hmm…” Yan Mei just nodded slowly, “I don’t care what he has to say. I was glad that you were the one who answered the call.”

Hearing this from Yan Mei made Lei Zhao grin ear to ear. He immediately pulled Yan Mei into his arms and kissed her cheek many times, making Yan Mei giggled as she felt ticklish Lei Zhao’s fingers touching her waist.

”Why are you so sweet?”

”Oh, you don’t want me to?”

”No, it’s not that, Lei Zhao…”

”Then what is it?”

Yan Mei looked at her husband. She slightly pouted as she put both of her hands on his face, squishing his cheeks.

”If you keep being that way, I may be looking for it more and more.”

”Oh!” Lei Zhao playfully narrowed his eyes at her, “Then I would have to be more loving towards you now so you will think of me every day, and you will keep looking for it!”

Yan Mei laughed as she kept getting kisses from Lei Zhao. She was still in Lei Zhao’s embrace as they both looked at the sky, the moon in full glory.

”The moon is beautiful, isn’t it?”

Yan Mei commented on the moon, but with Lei Zhao knowing what that phrase meant in Japan, saying that the moon is beautiful was meant to say “I love you” to a person poetically.

Hearing this from her had made him feel giddy even though Yan Mei just commented on the moon.

Lei Zhao tightened his embrace around his wife’s waist and spoke against her ear, getting her attention.

”Yan Mei.”

”Hmm?”

”The moon is beautiful, isn’t it?”

Yan Mei giggled, “Yes. Yes, it is!”

”Lei Zhao.”

”Hmm?”

”The moon is beautiful, isn’t it?”

Lei Zhao smiled, Yan Mei giggling as she felt Lei Zhao’s lips on her cheek.

”Yes, Yan Mei… the moon is indeed beautiful.”

It turns out that Yan Mei knew what the phrase meant, after all. With that, their night together on this hotel’s balcony turned out to be simply romantic–one that will be remembered.
