Jealousy and anger brewed in Wang Lu’s eyes when he saw them holding hands. He really underestimated this woman. She even found a successful man like Lei Zhao and charmed him.

He was suffering every day while she had moved on so easily even going on a date! In his rage, a storm so strong that he was afraid will rip his inside out coursed through him.

Yan Mei realized both men were shooting daggers at each other. Lei Zhao clenched Yan Mei’s hand, he could see the madness flickering in Wang Lu’s eyes.

”Let’s go.” Yan Mei said, breaking the cold silence.

Wang Lu smiled when he heard her, his smile filled with hate. His mind corrupted with jealousy.

”Why Meimei, you wouldn’t even introduce your husband to me?”

Molten rage coursed through Lei Zhao when he heard the endearment Wang Lu was calling Yan Mei.

’Meimei’ How dare he!

”Excuse me, but who are you? Why should I introduce my sweetheart to you?” Yan Mei seethed.

Wang Lu clenched his fist.

”Dear ex-wife, Don’t tell me you have already forgotten me?”

Yan Mei laughed mirthlessly, “Sorry…I don’t remember irrelevant people”

A growing menacing smirk appeared on Wang Lu’s lips.

”But women never forget the mam who took their first time, right Mr. Lei?” Wang Lu taunted as a gleam of deviltry passed through his eyes. He smirked when he saw the insane rage that flashed through Yan Mei’s eyes before continuing.

”So how can you forget me?”

Yan Mei knew he was taunting her, he wanted her to lose control but she wouldn’t give him the pleasure.

Just as she was about to respond she heard Lei Zhao’s calm voice, “Yeah, if only it’s worth remembering. Then women don’t forget the man who took their first time.”

Yan Mei froze and turned to look at Lei Zhao. His features were aloof and neutral with an air of superiority surrounding him as he glared menacingly at Wang Lu. He looked completely different from his usual bubbly self.

Lei Zhao turned to look at Yan Mei when he felt her gaze on him. He smiled softly and ruffle her hair tenderly.

A muscle under Wang Lu’s left eye twitched for the uncontrollable fury erupting inside him, He balled his fists until his knuckles turned white. When he heard Lei Zhao. The man just bluntly told him he wasn’t a good performer, that’s why the memory of him had never marked its place in Yan Mei’s mind. This is an attack on his pride.

Trying not to show weakness, Wang Lu laughed as indifferently as he could muster, “Oh but I think I was good. I can still remember how she shivered at my touch, her swollen lips and flushed cheeks as she laid underneath me moaning and screaming my name in pleasure, begging me-“

”Wang Lu!” Yan Mei bellowed in anger, interrupting him.

Wang Lu cocked his head, his devious eyes flashing with amusement. His lips curled into a sinister smirk as he looked at Lei Zhao. He wanted to see how he would react, but the smirk on his face slowly disappeared when he saw Lei Zhao’s indifferent face. His eyes giving nothing away as if his words have no effect on him.

Wang Lu arched a brow. He was growing more irritated by Lei Zhao’s indifferent and nonchalant face. ‘Shouldn’t he be angry that I’m taunting his wife? Or he doesn’t love her as I thought.’ Wang Lu didn’t know how Lei Zhao was able to stay calm after everything he had just said.

Unbeknownst to Wang Lu, Lei Zhao was beyond angry. Rage was flowing through him like lava. But he knew better. There was no way he would give Wang Lu the pleasure of seeing him lose control.

A mischievous glint passed through Lei Zhao’s eyes, his lips curling into a sneer.

”Oh”. Lei Zhao said perfunctorily.

”Anyway, it’s all in the past. I’m sure she doesn’t remember it since my performance has overshadowed yours, right Wifey?”

Yan Mei stifled a laugh when she saw the horrid look on Wang Lu’s face. It’s like he wasn’t expecting Lei Zhao to be this shameless and retort like this.

”Yeah, good memories always overshadow the bad ones.”

Yan Mei replied.

Lei Zhao shrugged, “You heard the lady. Now if you would excuse us, My wife is tired, so we will leave now.”

Without waiting for his response Yan Mei and Lei Zhao left Wang Lu fuming in anger.

Suddenly they heard Wang Lu’s devilish voice behind them, “Once a cheater, always a cheater. I hope Mr. Lei will remember this. We wouldn’t want the almighty Lei empire to collapse because of a woman right?”

Lei Zhao felt Yan Mei stiffened, her palms suddenly became clammy.

Lei Zhao turned around and nodded, “Thank you for your advice, Mr. Wang. I will remember it. I hope you will remember mine too”

Wang Lu scrunched his face, “What?”

“I heard your marriage broke down because it was lacking trust and communication, right? Not that I’m complaining since one man’s meat is another man’s poison as they say. Also, it gave me the opportunity to meet my beautiful wife. If you get the chance to get married again. I hope you have these things.”

Lei Zhao said with a smirk plastered on his face.

Wang Lu felt pressure on his heart, a sick feeling in his gut when he heard him. His eyes laced with pain and jealousy. He wanted to wipe that sinister smirk from Lei Zhao’s face but the man has already left before he could reply.

*****

When they reached home, Lei Zhao pulled Yan Mei into his arms and pressed a kiss on her forehead.

”Wifey, I hope he didn’t spoil your night.”

Yan Mei shook her head and smiled softly, “No. With you by side, irrelevant people can not affect my mood.”

Lei Zhao grinned, “Good, go take a shower. I have to make a business call at the study room I will join you soon.”

Yan Mei nodded and turned to leave. But Lei Zhao held her hand and turned her around.

”What?” Yan Mei asked as confusion marred on her forehead.

”I forgot to do this”. Lei Zhao said as he captured her lips into a fiery kiss. The kiss lingered for a minute before he reluctantly pulled away.

Lei Zhao nibbled her ear, “Wifey, you still owe me.”

Yan Mei blushed and pushed him away, “I will be waiting for you.”

She winked at him and ran off while giggling.

Lei Zhao’s eyes flashed with affection as he grinned.

When Yan Mei was wiping her hair after she finished bathing, it started raining suddenly and thunderstorm rumbled. Yan Mei froze by the streaks of lightning. ‘ As if the day couldn’t get any worse.’

She really didn’t want to be alone. The rain brought along bad memories, memories that consumed her.

She left the room and walked towards the study room in search for Lei Zhao. Just as she was about to reach the study, the lights went out suddenly. Yan Mei stiffened as a bolt of lightning lit up the room.

Lei Zhao quickly hung up the call when saw it was raining. He still remembered Grandpa Yan telling him how much his wife hates the rain. He really hopes she is okay.
