Chapter 102 I love you!
The days passed by in a blur, Yan i's fever was gone, but because she wanted to spend ti with Lei Zhao. She rested at ho and skip her work for a few days—sothing she has never done for the past five years unless she was terribly sick.
Yan i had to admit their relationship had significantly improved with the ti they spent together at ho. They would snuggle, cuddle, and talk about trivial matters like an ordinary couple. They would occasionally bicker on an issue until one of them gives up.
Yan i looked at Lei Zhao, breathing steadily beside her, and her lips curved into a soft smile. She had woken up in the middle of the night, and she was finding it difficult to go back to sleep. Maybe she was nervous; she had been thinking about, Mrs. Leng said for the past few days.
She wanted to find the right ti to tell him, but she never got the chance. She felt like a teenager who was planning on confessing to her crush. The words always get caught in her throat anyti her eyes et his, looking longingly at her. His gaze always made her feel like she was his entire universe.
She ran her fingers through his hair as she took her ti morizing his features. Lei Zhao's brows screwed together when he felt a tingling sensation in his hair. Yan i smiled, she thought he looked cute. He was sleeping with his lips slightly opened. Lei Zhao slowly opened his eyes and smiled lazily at her when he saw her staring at him.
"Why are you still up?" He arched his eyebrows together in confusion. Yan i pouted, "Because my husband didn't hug so I can't fall asleep. I feel cold!" Yan i bemoaned.
"Oh." Lei Zhao chuckled. It seems his wife was becoming clingy.
"Sorry, dear. I was a little tired, so I fell asleep the mont I hit the bed." Lei Zhao explained.
He has been busy with so business affairs that need his imdiate attention, but because Yan i got sick, he had to delay. Also, he wanted to spend ti with her, so he waits until she falls asleep every day before sneaking away to the study to attend to so business matters.
Unbeknownst to Lei Zhao, Yan i knew about this, but she didn't say or ask him anything. She just felt warm in her heart. She would wait for him to co to bed and pretend she is sleeping when he cos back.
Yan i harrumphed and turned her back at him, completely ignoring him. Lei Zhao groaned and pulled her into his arms and wrapped his arms around her waist.
He rested his head into the crook of her neck, slling her unique sll that cald him. He planted a kiss there.
"Sorry Wifey, I will always hold you from onwards unless I'm sick or my hands are cut off." Lei Zhao mumbled softly.
Yan i smiled to herself. His words are always able to lt her heart. The room fell into silent, and she drifted into a peaceful sleep.
------
Lei Zhao grunted as he opened his eyes and felt the sun blaring his vision. He squinted and stretched to touch Yan i's body. He wanted to give her a good morning kiss, but he realized he was alone on the bed, and he had overslept.
It's been a long ti since he had overslept. Sitting up, he rubbed the sleep from his face and ran a hand through his disheveled hair. Lei Zhao got down from the bed and made his way towards the kitchen. He assud Yan i was probably bathing, so he decided to make breakfast for her.
Lei Zhao stopped in his tracks when he heard the bustling of utensils in the kitchen. He furrowed his brows and hurried to the kitchen. Yan i's back was facing him. Her hair was tied in a ssy bun, wearing a pajama and a sweater; she looked adorable.
"Good morning, Wifey." Lei Zhao spoke, startling Yan i. She yelped, turning around surprised with a blush crept on her cheeks.
"Good morning. Would you like so coffee?" She asked softly with a smile, making her whole being glow.
"Yes." Lei Zhao said as he strode towards her. He pulled her closer and planted a kiss on her forehead before sitting down comfortably.
Yan i served him coffee and a toasted cheese sandwich. Lei Zhao stared at the burnt sandwich and quirked his brows. He looked up and saw Yan i's eyes flickering with 'nervousness?'
"You made this?" Lei Zhao asked with uncertainty evident in his voice. Yan i nodded and blushed profusely.
"Oh, it's a miracle you didn't burn the kitchen and the house down." Lei Zhao chuckled, teasing her.
Yan i glared at him and threw the napkin she was holding at him. Lei Zhao laughed at her adorable face.
"I'm not that bad. I have been watching you when you prepare breakfast. Also, we have a toaster and a coffee maker!"
Yan i explained, rolling her eyes.
Lei Zhao eyed the piece of bread wearily. 'Even with a toaster, and she still burned the thing!'
Lei Zhao inwardly complained. He saw her hopeful eyes and couldn't bear to disappoint her. Also, he was touched by her gesture.
Lei Zhao took a bite and was surprised that it wasn't 'that' bad.
"It can be better, but I'm not complaining." Lei Zhao smirked, trying to tease her again.
Yan i smiled sadly in return and folded her hands before her. She fiddled with her fingers, avoiding eye contact with Lei Zhao.
"You don't like it?" Yan i pouted. Lei Zhao stared at her lips, and he wanted to bit it. He cleared his throat and shook his head.
"O-okay." Yan i mumbled. She shrugged nonchalantly, feigning that she wasn't affected by what he said. She stared at her feet, distractingly.
"Wifey," Lei Zhao chuckled. Yan i snapped her head towards him.
"I'm just teasing you. It's actually good since it's your first ti preparing breakfast."
Yan i stared at him for a couple of seconds and then started walking away saying nothing. Lei Zhao jolted from the chair and grabbed her wrist. He pulled her into his arms and encased her by holding her waist.
"Are you angry?" Lei Zhao asked
Yan i harrumphed and turned her head away, avoiding his gaze.
A smug plastered on Lei Zhao's face. "Wifey, sorry."
Yan i scoffed and ignored him.
"Okay, know that you asked for this."
Yan i frowned. Before she could ask what he ant, Lei Zhao tickled her, lting her angered face. Yan i busted out laughing.
"Lei Zhao—ah-stop!" She yelled. Lei Zhao grinned.
"Not until you have said you have forgiven !"
Yan i didn't want to give up, but the tickling was too much for, so she surrendered.
"Okay..o, I forgive you!" Lei Zhao smirked triumphantly and let her go.
He flickered her nose, "I won."
Yan i snorted, "I will get back at you!"
"Oh, how do you plan on doing it?" He asked as his eyes wandered on her face. Yan i looked up and t his fiery gaze. She swallowed and stared back at him. Her heart fluttered in her chest, and her stomach sward with butterflies.
Her eyes lingered on his lips. Unconsciously, she licked her lips. God, she missed him. It's been so long since-
The lingering smirk on his face suggested he knew her train of thoughts, and he was amused. Yan i scoffed and pushed him away.
"I'm going to take a bath." Yan i said and hurriedly scurried away.
Lei Zhao shook his head and stared at her back. Yan i stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him.
He saw her walking back to sit down. Taking a deep breath, she called him.
"Lei Zhao.."
Lei Zhao turned to look at her when he heard her calling him.
"Yes. Is there sothing wrong?"
Yan i's eyes t his, and her heart skipped a beat. Ti seed to slow as they just stood there staring at each other. Lei Zhao quirked his brows when he saw the emotions brewing in her eyes. It was hard for him to decipher the emotions.
"Wif- " Lei Zhao was cut off by Yan i's voice, thick with a strong emotion.
"I love you." Yan i blurted out.
