Chapter 138 Are you happy?
"Ying Sheng, the way you keep stealing glances at my wife do you perhaps like her?" Lei Zhao deep voice sounded at the dinning table interrupting Lei Xiao Tong who was talking to Yan Mei.
Ying Sheng glared at Lei Zhao. Lei Zhao's lips curved into a mischievous smirk as he turned to look at his wife.
Yan Mei raised her brows and looked at Ying Sheng. Feeling Yan Mei's gaze on her, Ying Sheng felt blood warming her face.
"No-no!" Ying Sheng snapped quickly at Lei Zhao.
"So you hate my wife instead?" Lei Zhao retorted. He was clearly enjoying teasing Ying Sheng.
"I…"
Ying Sheng trailed off awkwardly.
"No, I don't hate her" She continued.
"So you admit you like my wife? I never knew you were bent."
"Cousin!"
Lei Zhao busted into laughter.
"Do not have any feelings towards my wife. I don't care of you're my cousin I will eat your eyes if you have bad thoughts about her."
Ying Sheng wrinkled her nose at his comments
"Ewww. Creppy."
Lei Zhao shook his head, "Just protecting what's mine."
Yan Mei rolled her eyes at Lei Zhao and looked at Ying Sheng.
"Don't mind him. Is there something you want to say?" Yan Mei asked softly.
She could always feel Ying Sheng's gaze on her. The gaze was full of curiosity and awe. Yan Mei felt a little uncomfortable at first since it's the first time someone has looked at her like that.
"Aah...nothing. It just you are full of confident and elegance. I-I can we be friends?"
Ying Sheng asked as she fidgeted. This is the first time she had asked someone to be friends and her palms felt clammy.
Lei Zhao busted into a hearty laugh when he heard Ying Sheng.
"Are you really Ying Sheng? Did you hit your head? When did you want to be friends with someone?"
Ying Sheng's face burned in embarrassment at Lei Zhao's words.
Lei Xiao Tong was just staring at Ying Sheng like she was an alien. She could see the light that shone in Ying Sheng's eyes anytime she looked at Yan Mei.
She was like a child wanting validation from someone she looks up to.
"Yes, we can be friends." Yan Mei finally spoke. She could see the pain and hurt that flickers in the girl's eyes. Even though she tries to act tough, Yan Mei knew that was all an act.
"Cousin-in-law, really? We can be friends?!"
Yan Mei smiled and nodded, "Yeah."
A bright smile broke out on Ying Sheng's face without her even realizing it. And this began the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
Lei Xiao Tong looked at Lei Zhao. Without verbally communicating, they had both answered the questions in each other's eyes.
"So Ying Sheng, why didn't you go to school?"
Yan Mei asked suddenly. Today was Wednesday and she was sure schools hadn't close by this time.
"Oh." Ying Sheng laughed awkwardly.
"Cousin-in-law, I ditched it. I really hate sitting in that class. Why go through all the hassle to learn. I can just drop dead and die right now. Instead of learning that boring medical books, I will rather enjoy life."
Yan Mei nodded, "And are you enjoying life? Are you happy?"
Ying Sheng stiffened at Yan Mei's questions. Was she enjoying life? Was she happy?
No, she wasn't enjoying life nor was she happy. She hated her life.
"Don't keep waiting for people who don't deserve you. If there is someone who makes you happy and is there for you, make sure you don't lose that person."
Yan Mei said suddenly surprising Ying Sheng. Is like Yan Mei was able to see what was going on in her life. For some reason she felt Yan Mei was talking about Han Xi and Liam.
"If it gets tough, stand at a hill and shout, fuck you life. Trust me, you will feel so much better!"
Yan Mei chuckled as she said, breaking Ying Sheng from her stupor.
Lei Zhao ruffled his wife's hair, and placed more dumplings on her plate.
"Eat."
Yan Mei nodded and stole a glance at Ying Sheng. For some reason, she found herself saying those things to Ying Sheng.
"Cousin-in-law, I will definitely take your advice." Ying Sheng chuckled too, before turning to Lei Zhao.
"Cousin, let's go horse riding this weekend."
Lei Zhao had taught her how to ride when she was a kid and since then, Ying Sheng had fallen in love with it.
"Ask my wife for permission. I can't leave the house without her permission."
Ying Sheng rolled her eyes, "Seriously? Don't show off in front of me."
Lei Zhao chortled, "I'm serious. Ask my wife for permission. If she agrees I will go."
Yan Mei brows bumped together. Lei Zhao was recovering and she didn't want him to do any sports.
"Ying Sheng, can you make it next week? Your cousin is still recovering."
Ying Sheng widened her eyes, "Cousin,you're sick? Why didn't you tell me?" Ying Sheng said with a pout on her face.
"I'm okay. Just a few burns. I will live." Lei Zhao replied patting Ying Sheng's head.
Ying Sheng ignored Lei Zhao and turned to look at Yan Mei.
"Okay, cousin-in-law. We will go next week! Will you come too?"
Yan Mei looked at the expectation in Ying Sheng's eyes and she nodded, "Alright. I will come."
"Okay."
Ying Sheng beamed and focused on her food.
"That...why did you choose me as the ambassador for your new collection?"
Ying Sheng looked at Yan Mei who was lazily flipping a magazine.
They had finished eating and Lei Zhao had gone to the study to talk with his mother, leaving them alone in the living room.
Yan Mei looked up at Ying Sheng and smiled at her.
"Because you fit the theme for the collection."
Ying Sheng fidgeted, "I have a bad reputation. Aren't you afraid I will destroy the reputation of your company?"
Yan Mei shook her head and shrugged. "I have a bad reputation too. What matters is how to use that bad reputation to your advantage."
Ying Sheng nodded and smiled. For the first time, someone believed in her. She had to admit the feeling was nice.
"I won't disappoint you!"
Yan Mei nodded at her, "Good."
AUTHOR'S NOTE
Hiyo.....I hope we are all good.
Happy new month guys! I hope we all be well to meet again in 2021!
Okiee so I wanna say a few things maybe it's long sorry in advance.
First of all, thank you guys for your support. Like I really appreciate it and it means alot to me. Everyday when I wake up I check my WN comments and seeing your support brings a smile on my face.
Also, I saw a comment about WN asking me to drop my book because it isn't doing well.
Honestly WN wouldn't ask an original author to drop her book unless translation.
But the author might drop the book if the book isn't doing well. In my case even though I have 18k readers my book isn't doing well. And it's kinda depressing.
I barely earn anything. I'm not asking anyone to force to read with coins but you can support me by commenting, leaving a review or voting for my book.
Also WN gives free coins every Friday on Facebook and Instagram you can redeem it and buy privilege.
Since without win win author's won't get features. Without features no colls no colls no money then author might drop the book hahaha.
So please if you can afford support me by buying the 1 coin privilege.
Thank you!
Also, thank you for your well wishes. I was so happy and touched when I saw it. I thought people were going to scold me hahaha. I'm like my characters so insecure lololol. And I'm much better now. Sigh, what would I do without you guys. I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
