Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife

Chapter 60 gala (2)

Yan Mei looked at the woman hugging Lei Zhao and her brows bumped together in a scowl.

"Pumpkin? What are you doing here? I missed you so much," Lei Zhao said excitedly.

"I missed you too," she said releasing Lei Zhao from the hug.

Yan Mei narrowed her eyes as she stared at the woman. Yan Mei didn't know who the woman was but she had to admit she was stunning, even though she wasn't worth being a rival, she didn't like others touching what was hers.

"Who are you," she queried coldly.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I just got excited seeing Lei Zhao. I'm Ying Sheng," Ying Sheng said with a smile, offering her hand to her.

Yan Mei glanced at her stretched hand and ignored her. Ying Sheng arched a sly brow and retreated her stretched hand with a shrug. Lei Zhao cleared his throat and wrapped his hands around Yan Mei's waist pulling her closer to him.

"Wifey, this is Ying Sheng. My cousin. We are really close that's why she hugged me. Don't get angry, okay," Lei Zhao murmured softly.

Ying Sheng raised her brows when she heard Lei Zhao softly explaining to Yan Mei as if he was afraid that she would misunderstand. It seems her cousin-in-law has her cousin wrapped around her fingers.

Yan Mei stared at him for a few seconds without saying anything.

"Okay, what about I let you be on top tonight," Lei Zhao whispered in her ears.

Yan Mei's eyes flashed and turned to look at Ying Sheng.

She nodded politely at her, "Hello."

Ying Sheng beamed when she heard Yan Mei greeting her. She had heard her cousin-in-law was an aloof person so she didn't really care about her ignoring her earlier.

"I have heard so much about you! You're more beautiful in person," Ying Sheng squealed excitedly.

Yan Mei narrowed her eyes as she wasn't expecting Ying Sheng to talk to her excitedly after the way she treated her.

She looked at Ying Sheng's eyes and saw her eyes glistening with admiration.

'This girl is really interesting,' Yan Mei thought as she offered a slight smile to Ying Sheng,

"Thank you," Yan Mei replied.

Lei Zhao shook his head when he saw Ying Sheng trying hard to please someone for the first time.

"Pumpkin, are you trying to please my wife," Lei Zhao asked with his voice laced with amusement.

"Huh? No-no, it's just that cousin-in-law is really cool," Ying Sheng quickly retorted.

"Cool? That is the first time someone has called you that, Wifey," Lei Zhao said as he chortled when he saw the horrified look on his wife's face.

Yan Mei was used to being called cold, indifferent, and beautiful… that Ying Sheng's answer just caught her off guard. It was an interesting change from the usual.

"You think I'm cool, why," Yan Mei queried with a creased brow.

Ying Sheng licked her lips,

"Well, you have this cold aura around you that makes it difficult for people to approach you. You're confident, beautiful, strong, and independent. Also, you've cousin wrapped around your fingers," Ying Sheng said throwing a subtle wink at Yan Mei at the same time.

Yan Mei chuckled, "I like you. You're really blunt."

Ying Sheng widened her eyes when she heard Yan Mei, "Good! We should hang out sometime."

Yan Mei saw the gigantic smile on her face and the pleading and hopefulness in her eyes. It seems she was Lei Zhao's favorite cousin, too, so she didn't have the heart to turn her down.

Yan Mei nodded, "Alright."

Ying Sheng smiled heartily and turned to look at Lei Zhao.

"I have to leave before my dad starts introducing every bachelor in this room to me," Ying Sheng gritted her teeth.

Lei Zhao threw his head back and laughed.

"Don't tell me that uncle wants you to get married to get rid of you."

Ying Sheng rolled her eyes,

"Yeah, he thinks marrying me off would make me become a proper lady."

Lei Zhao shook his head. He is the only one who knew why Ying Sheng turned out this way so he perfectly understood his cousin's behavior.

"Call me later. We have a lot to talk about," Lei Zhao said with a gleam in his eyes as he smiled softly at her.

Ying Sheng stiffened and nodded,

"Cousin-in-law it was nice to meet you!"

Yan Mei nodded.

Once Ying Sheng left, Yan Mei turned to look at Lei Zhao.

"Remember your promise," she mumbled.

"I'm a man of my words," Lei Zhao said with a smirk and twinkle in his eyes.

Before Yan Mei can retort, she saw Lei Zhao's mom walking towards them.

Lei Xiao Tong pulled Yan Mei into a hug once she reached them. Lei Xiao Tong pulled away before Yan Mei could hug her back but her hands were still holding unto either side of her arms. Lei Xiao Tong had a huge smile plastered on her face.

"XiaoMei, how are you?"

Yan Mei smiled, "I'm good mom. How are you?"

"I'm good. Let me introduce you to the rest of the family."

After making their rounds of meeting Lei Zhao's family and introducing Lei Zhao to her uncle, Yan Mei excused herself to the washroom.

Yan Mei stood in front of the sink, washing her hands. She heard the toilet flush, then one of the bathroom doors opened and a woman wearing a white v-neck evening gown came to stand at the next sink beside Yan Mei washing her hand.

"Do you think he really loves you," she queried turning to look at Yan Mei.

Yan Mei stopped washing her hands and turned to look at the woman. The woman looked a little familiar but she couldn't remember where she knew her.

"You know you can't ever replace his ex. He is just playing with you. Once she comes back, he would dump you."

Yan Mei chuckled, "Why are you telling me this?"

Tang Wei furrowed her brows.

"Because I don't want you to get hurt," she said feigning concern.

"Miss…"

"Tang," Tang Wei replied.

Yan Mei nodded, "Miss Tang, do you know the ratio of men to woman in this world?"

Tang Wei creased her brows and shook her head.

"Do you know how hard it is to meet someone at the age of thirty who has never been in a relationship," Yan Mei asked crossing her arms across her chest.

Tang Wei swallowed.

'How come this woman doesn't follow the script? Shouldn't she be angry or jealous?'

Tang Wei bit her lips and glanced away.

"Haven't you heard the famous quote?"

Yan Mei smirked with a gleam of deviltry in her eyes. Seeing this, Tang Wei's lips screwed into a grimace.

"Everyone is somebody's ex. Like you said she is his ex, I'm Mrs. Lei now. Why should I be afraid of a mere ex?" Yan Mei snorted.

Tang Wei's lips primed.

"I just wanted to inform you."

"Thank you for telling me." Yan Mei nodded. "Now, if you would excuse me, my husband is waiting for me," Yan Mei added with a fake smile plastered on her face.

Tang Wei clenched her fists as she glared at Yan Mei's back. Just as Yan Mei was about to open the door she stopped and spoke with a disinterested, monotonous voice.

"Nothing can come between my husband and I. If anybody tries to separate us, I would destroy the person even if I have to use my last breath."
