”Lei Zhao.” Yan Mei protested as her head collided with his muscular chest.

”Where were you? Don’t you know that I miss you?” Yan Mei complained. After she came back from work she realized Lei Zhao wasn’t in the house.

”Sorry Wifey. After meeting mom, something came up. Have you eaten?”

Lei Zhao said softly as he placed a kiss on her forehead.

”Yes I have.”

Lei Zhao nodded and ruffled her hair.

”Okay Good. I will go and take a shower.”

Lei Zhao said as he pulled away from her. Yan Mei grabbed his hand the moment he turned and raised her brows at him.

”Hey, are you okay?” Yan Mei asked Lei Zhao. Even though he was still affectionate his eyes gave him away. He seemed to be in a big dilemma.

Lei Zhao squeezed out a smile and nodded.

”Yeah I’m fine.”

Yan Mei scrunched her face in worry and let him go.

”I’m here for you, if you’re ready to talk.”

Guilt tugged at Lei Zhao’s heart when he heard his wife. After looking at the video his mother has given him, his heart couldn’t help but ache for her.

He didn’t even know how to tell her the truth. One point he didn’t want to lie to her and he surely didn’t want to see her break down.

”Lei Zhao…” her soothing voice snapped him out his thoughts.

”I know. Will go take the shower.”

Yan Mei nodded and kissed his forehead.

”I love you.” She said smiling at him.

”I love you more.” Lei Zhao replied back and walked away before he would lose control and blurt everything out.

After a few minutes, he walked out of the bathroom and came to find her lying on the bed reading a book.

Without saying anything he changed into his pajamas and came to sleep beside her on the bed.

Lei Zhao laid his head on her belly, his arms locked around her hips. Yan Mei smiled and put down the book she was reading.

She wrapped her hands around him, caressing his hair.

”I’m here.” She kissed his hair and slid her fingers into it.

Yan Mei knew something was definitely bothering Lei Zhao. But it was okay, she wouldn’t pressure him to tell her once he is ready he will definitely tell her.

She rocked him softly as she hummed a soft melody.

”How was your friend like?”

Lei Zhao finally spoke, breaking the warm silence between them.

”My friend? Who are you talking about?” Yan Mei asked as her face scrunched into confusion.

”Your best friend-when you’re in the city M—Fu Xin.” Lei Zhao explained.

”Oh.” Yan Mei smiled as she thought about her friend. Even though it’s been years since she died. Her memories only brought a smile on Yan Mei’s face. She knew her friend was suffering with her sickness and death was the end of her sufferings.

”She was like a sister to me. No more than a sister. She was super crazy and I trusted her with my life. Yeah we were that close.”

Yan Mei chuckled, a carefree laughter.

”Funny thing is I don’t even remember how we became that close! I guess that’s the most beautiful thing about relationships. You don’t know how it even started, just the beautiful memories remain.”

Lei Zhao’s face morphed into a worried frown. Fortunately Yan Mei didn’t notice it. It seems his wife really held her friend in such a high esteem.

Will the truth crumble down the good memories she has of her dead friend?

”Fu Xin, I couldn’t even cry when I heard she was dead because she warned me not to. She said, “don’t you dare cry when I die, Feng Mei or my ghost will haunt you.”

Yan Mei’s voice snapped Lei Zhao out of his thoughts. He noticed the grief in his wife’s voice and grabbed her hand, giving it a small squeeze.

”I wish she was here to meet you. She never really liked Wang Lu. She always thought I was better off with someone else.”

Lei Zhao froze when he heard Yan Mei.

”Why didn’t she like him?”

Yan Mei snorted and shrugged.”I guess she saw him for who he really is. I was blinded by love. Also even though I never told her about Wang Lu’s mom abuse I’m sure she knew it.

It made her hate him more. According to her, if he loved me he wouldn’t let his mom abuse me.But it wasn’t his fault, he didn’t know.”

Lei Zhao slowly pulled away and looked at her face. Strands of her hair were stuck on his chest and a few were pasted on the side of her face.

He gently sorted those hair from her face. “Are you okay?” He said as he cupped her face.

”Yes, at first when I talked about those memories all I felt was pain but now, it doesn’t hurt anymore. The pain is still there yes but I’m fine talking about it. “

Lei Zhao nodded and pressed a quick kiss on her lips .

”How are you?” Yan Mei asked back.

Lei Zhao smiled and placed his head back on her stomach.

”Go-“

The sound of say you won’t let go ringing in the bedroom interrupted Lei Zhao.

He looked up at her and smirked.

”What? It’s now my favorite song.”

Lei Zhao chuckled a real laugh since he came home tonight and nodded.

Yan Mei looked at the caller ID and saw it was Leng Zhao’s mom. She knitted her brows and answered the call.

”Auntie Leng.” Lei Zhao stiffened when he heard her. ‘Was it Leng Shao’s mother?’

He doesn’t know what she said on the line but he saw the smile hanging on his wife’s lips.

”Yes. I’m sure that will be fine by him. Okay see you, tomorrow. Goodnight.”

Yan Mei hung up the call and with a smile placed it down.

”She said she will be coming over with Leng Shao tomorrow for dinner. Is it okay with you? Leng Shao is like a brother to me and I know he must be feeling guilty over the video. So-“

”It’s fine by me.” Lei Zhao hurriedly interrupted her. How can he let go of the opportunity to question the one person who has all the answers he is looking for.

He really cannot wait for tomorrow. Tomorrow everything will finally be revealed.
