Author's note: Hy guys I'm so sorry about earlier. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Lots of love! Happy weekend.
"Okay, let's go and eat, or else your husband would skin alive!" Su Bei said the mont the client left Yan i's office.
Su Bei looked at her friend's tired eyes and she couldn't help but feel distressed. Yan i chuckled when she heard Su Bei.
"Yeah, now that you have reminded . I need to send him a picture that I'm eating." Yan i said with a helpless smile.
"Oh, so hubby is worried about you, huh?" Su Bei said teasingly.
Yan i shrugged, "Would you like to go to that new western restaurant across the streets? I heard their food is really good."
Yan i knew her friend was a big foodie like her.
"Really?" Su Bei's eyes sparkled. She has always wanted to visit that restaurant that everyone was talking about, but she knew better. Even though her pay was very good, she had spent half of it on her mother's drugs. So, she can't afford to eat at that restaurant.
"Yeah." Yan i replied curtly.
Su Bei squealed excitedly, "Let's go then."
Yan i nodded and picked her purse, leaving the office with Su Bei trailing behind her.
As soon as they reached the restaurant, a host greeted them politely.
Yan i nodded, and Su Bei smiled softly at the host.
"Table for two". Su Bei said as she glanced around the restaurant.
The waiter nodded and led them to a table at the corner that overlooked the streets from the floor to ceiling window.
"A waiter will co and take your orders soon. Please wait." The host said with a smile and left.
"Hello, I'm Evan. Your waiter. Here is the nu and welco to Tulip restaurant."
The waiter said and flashed Su Bei a smile, showing his perfect white teeth. Yan i narrowed her eyes as a trace of amusent flashed through them.
"Can I get you sothing?" He asked with his gaze still on Su Bei.
"A glass of apple juice would be fine." Yan i said flatly.
"Sa here." Su Bei said smiling at him.
"Alright, I would be back with your drinks." The waiter's lips twisted into a smile and left.
Soon he ca back to their table with two glasses of apple juice.
"Here are your drinks." He said as he placed one in front of Su Bei and the other in front of Yan i.
"Thank you." Su Bei said.
"It's a pleasure to serve two beautiful won. So, what would you be having?" Evan asked.
Yan i glanced at the nu and selected the most expensive al on the nu.
"I will get the sa." Su Bei said smiling as she handed back the nu.
"Alright," Evan said as he took the nu and left to help the other table.
"It seems you have found yourself a charr." Yan i comnted as she made a sip on her juice.
"Huh?" Su Bei asked with a confusion frowned on her face.
"The waiter didn't you see he was flirting with you?" Yan i asked as she stared at her friend.
"He was?"
Yan i heaved a sigh when she heard her friend. No wonder she was still single at this age.
"Yes, he was. I'm no longer surprised that you're still single."
Su Bei chuckled and glanced at the waiter who was taking another table's order.
"He is cute but not my type." Su Bei said as she shrugged her shoulders.
"Oh, so who is your type?" Yan i asked as her lips curved into a slight smile.
"Leng-" Su Bei blurted out, but she stopped midway when she realized what she has said.
Yan i raised her brows, "So you like him?" Yan i asked eagerly, eyeing her closely.
Su Bei bit her lips and reluctantly nodded her head. She looked at Yan i and found a mischievous smile on her lips.
"You know, he is single, right?" Yan i asked as she shook her head helplessly.
Su Bei's eyes lit up, "Really?" She inquired with an unknown emotion in her eyes. Yan i couldn't pinpoint what she saw.
"Yes, if you want, I can set you guys up."
Su Bei fidgeted but shook her head.
"I think he wouldn't like a girl like ."
Yan i frowned, "Why are you saying that?"
Su Bei shrugged. Yan i looked at her friend but said nothing. Her phone shook in her purse when she removed it. She saw a ssage from Lei Zhao.
Lei Zhao: Wifey, don't tell you forgot to eat lunch.
Yan i sighed and quickly replied.
Yan i: No, I'm currently at a restaurant with Su Bei.
Lei Zhao: Oh, alright, enjoy your al. I will call you at night.
A soft smile tugged at Yan i's lips as she replied.
Yan i: Hmm.
"So, who are you chatting with? You look like a teenager chatting with her crush." Su Bei comnted as she took a sip of her drink.
"Oh, it's Lei Zhao. He is asking if I had eaten."
Su Bei rolled her eyes, "I should have known looking at the love-struck look on your face."
Yan i smiled softly.
"I think that guy is madly in love with you, Yan i!" Su Bei remarked as she sipped her drink.
Yan i nodded.
"Yeah." Yan i uttered firmly.
Su Bei chuckled, "Look at you, I thought you would never fall in love! I'm happy for you."
Su Bei said with a smile.
"Cheers to more happiness." She said as she lifted her glass to Yan i.
"Cheers." Yan i replied with a smile as she lifted her glass to Su Bei before taking a sip
Twenty minutes later, the waiter brought their food. This ti Su Bei ignored him since she didn't want to give the poor guy lost hope.
A trace of loss passed through the waiter's eyes, but he left, saying nothing.
Su Bei stared at the mouth-watering food and took a picture before she eating. Yan i shook her head helplessly and waited for Su Bei to snap the food. She also took a picture and sent it to Lei Zhao, but he didn't reply. Maybe he was busy.

Once Yan i got ho, she took a shower and stayed in the living room to pass the ti. Her hair was still wet, and she was only wearing a bathrobe. She lazily swirled the wineglass in her hand and pick the remote control, turning the television on. She flicked on the channels, but nothing interested her. She massaged her temple as she sat in a daze.
Suddenly her phone rang, snapping her out of her stupor.
"Wifey." Lei Zhao's husky voice sounded the mont she picked up the call which made her miss him more.
"Hmm." She replied softly.
Lei Zhao frowned when he heard her, "Are you okay?" he asked with concern laced in his voice.
"Yes, I-I just miss you." She complained bitterly.
"I took a bath alone and there is no one to help dry my hair."
Lei Zhao chuckled huskily, "So you miss because I'm not there to help you dry your hair?"
"It's part of the reasons why I miss you." Yan i murmured, puffing her cheeks slightly.
"Oh, I see. How was work?"
Yan i smiled, "Good. What are you doing right now?" She inquired.
"I'm in bed." Lei Zhao replied.
Yan i's thoughts went off when she heard him, she wished she there, lying on his chest while listening to his heartbeat.
"Oh, thinking about ? Yan i asked as she took a sip of her wine to calm her pounding heart.
"Yeah. I was there to help you bath." He said with a hint of humor in his voice.
Yan i couldn't but blush. Clearing her throat, she changed the subject.
"I want to stay with my grandfather before you co back." Yan i mumbled.
"Oh okay. That's good. Then I don't have to worry about you staying alone at the house."
"Hmm." A silence occurred as they listened to each other's breath on the phone.
"Sleep Wifey, because if I was there you wouldn't be sleeping." Lei Zhao said as he chuckled lightly.
"Rogue!" Yan i snapped at him.
Lei Zhao chortle.
"Sleep Wifey, you would go to work tomorrow morning." Lei Zhao coaxed her.
"Hmm." She whispered, but Lei Zhao still heard her breathing on the other side of the phone.
"Hang up the phone first." Lei Zhao said helplessly.
"No, you do." She retorted.
Another silence occurred without none of them saying anything or planning to hung up the call.
Lei Zhao heaved a sigh, "Goodnight Wifey. I'm hanging up or we will be on the phone the whole night."
"Hmm." Yan i replied.
"Dream about ." Lei Zhao said teasingly.
"You too. Co back soon." She breathed.
"I will." Lei Zhao uttered and finally hang up the call.
Yan i stared at the phone in a daze before sighing. She placed the wine on the table and walked to the bedroom to dry her hair. She knew Lei Zhao would get worried if she catches a cold.
