Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife

Chapter 38 Shopping

When Yan Mei came downstairs after taking a shower, she saw Lei Zhao cooking. He was shirtless and was only seen wearing his sweatpants. He seemed to have taken a bath in the guest room. The smell of pancakes filled the air, which caused her stomach to growl.

"Hungry?"

Yan Mei cheeks burned red, and she quickly tried to fight the blush down. Lei Zhao sent her dashing grin.

"It's normal to be hungry from all the fun we had this morning."

Yan Mei blushed softly when she heard him and sent him a scowl. Lei Zhao smirked. It's been a long time since he saw his wife blush. He liked how her cheeks became red from blushing. She looked cute.

Yan Mei ignored him and took a seat at the kitchen counter. Flipping up the last pancake, Lei Zhao grabbed a plate, stacking the pancakes onto it before serving them to her with a warm expression on his face.

"Maple syrup?"

Yan Mei raised a brow and smiled.

"Sure."

Lei Zhao handed her the bottle of syrup and she took it. Lei Zhao prepared a cup of coffee for them and came to sit beside her. A smile crawled up on Lei Zhao's face as he watched Yan Mei eat.

"Aren't you going to eat," Yan Mei asked when she saw him just staring at her without eating.

Lei Zhao shrugged and smirked.

"I enjoy watching my wife eat the food I prepared with a look of satisfaction on her face."

Yan Mei snickered and rolled her eyes.

"Stop staring and eat," Yan Mei said.

Lei Zhao nodded when he heard her and silently ate his pancakes, lost in his thoughts.

A dead silence fell between them. None of them wanted to speak first. The silence thickened every second they didn't speak. The silence made Yan Mei feel uncomfortable, so she stopped eating and looked up at him.

Her breath hitched when she caught him staring at her. Lei Zhao leaned over the counter and licked the corner of her mouth. He raised his eyebrows at her and leaned back against the chair.

"You had syrup on your mouth," he said when he saw the questioning look on her face. Yan Mei blushed.

"Oh," she muttered, looking down at the plate of pancakes to hide her embarrassment Lei Zhao chuckled and ruffled her hair.

"Wifey, don't be shy."

Yan Mei cleared her throat and picked up her cup.

"Who is shy," Yan Mei snorted.

Lei Zhao shook his head and chuckled. He dug his fork into his pancake and popped them into his mouth.

"Don't mind me… after all, why should you be shy when your husband is helping you wipe a syrup from your mouth," Lei Zhao replied in amusement.

Yan Me glared at him, but she said nothing to refute what he said.

"Will you be busy today," Lei Zhao asked softly.

Yan Mei shook her head and answered, "No."

Lei Zhao beamed at her when he heard her. "Let's go shopping."

"You want to take me shopping," Yan Mei asked, surprised. He doesn't look like someone who will accompany a woman to go shopping.

"Yes, don't you like shopping?"

Seeing the eager look on his face and realizing she doesn't have any casual clothes. Yan Mei agreed.

"Okay, let's go."

"Great!" Lei Zhao said, winking at Yan Mei who blushed under his gaze.

In the fitting room, Yan Mei looked at her reflection in the mirror and swallowed. She has never worn such a revealing style of clothing. It was a red floral backless dress that accentuated all her curves and held unto her figures perfectly. She was nervous to go out in this dress.

Lei Zhao frowned when he realized Yan Mei hasn't come out of the fitting room. He knocked on the door,

"Wifey?"

Yan Mei turned to look at the door when she heard Lei Zhao calling her.

Before Yan Mei could respond, Lei Zhao came inside. He widened his eyes in shock when he saw her. She looked beautiful. He strode forward and stood behind her.

Yan Mei looked at the mirror and saw him behind her. Lei Zhao traced his finger at her bareback and Yan Mei shivered. Lei Zhao removed the rubber band that held her hair in a ponytail and let her hair fall on her shoulders.

"Wifey, I wanna rip this dress off you right now," Lei Zhao said hoarsely in her ears. Yan Mei's breath hitched, but she tried to hide the effect his words on her.

"Is it okay," Yan Mei asked flatly.

Lei Zhao smirked and nodded.

"It's beautiful but I don't like the fact that it is a backless dress. I don't want another man to look at what is mine."

Yan Mei smiled, "What about if I wear it only for you?"

Lei Zhao grinned wolfishly when he heard her.

"That one can be accepted."

Yan Mei turned to look at him.

"Possessive, huh?"

Lei Zhao giggled.

"Just protecting what is mine."

Yan Mei smiled and pushed him out of the fitting room.

After she came out of the fitting room, Lei Zhao had already paid for everything.

"Send these clothes to this address." Lei Zhao took a pen and wrote an address.

Then, naturally, he took Yan Mei's hand and walked out of the shop. After they went out, the cashier and shopping guide couldn't help but gossip.

"My God, they look so good together! I want a guy to look at me the way the guy looks at her."

Lei Zhao and Yan Mei didn't know they were an ideal couple for people right now. After buying a lot of shoes for her at different shops, Yan Mei was in a good mood.

She never thought shopping with a guy can be this fun! Looking at the soft light in her eyes, a smile crawled on Lei Zhao's face.

"Are you tired?"

Yan Mei nodded. They had gone to about five shops. Since both of them were rich, they didn't realize the exorbitant amount of money they have spent.

"Let's eat lunch."

Lei Zhao led Yan Mei to a nearby restaurant. Just as they were about to enter, a woman who had a noble temperament and was dressed in the latest fashion dress called out Lei Zhao's name.

"Brother Zhao."
