Chapter 262 Lucky
Lei Zhao finished the breakfast al with his secretary, Ye Xing. Afterwards, the two of them exercised at their reserved villa as they waited for Yan i's spa session to end at around lunch ti.
Lei Zhao had finished showering. He was wiping his hair when his eyes landed on the clock on the wall, 15 minutes before noon, indicating that they would have their lunch soon.
Lei Zhao then looked at his secretary and spoke, getting his attention.
"I will pick Yan i up already from the spa. Have you reserved a place for us to eat later for lunch?"
"Yes, Mr. Lei Zhao," Ye Xing answered, nodding at him once at the sa ti. "All will be prepared by the ti that you go to the restaurant."
"Okay then." Lei Zhao gave his secretary a small smile, "Thank you. Are you sure that you are okay to eat here alone?" He asked, Ye Xing nodded as he gave his boss a small bow.
"It's fine, Mr. Lei Zhao. You have a mont with your wife."
Lei Zhao smiled at his secretary once more. He then walked out of the villa on his way to pick up his wife in front of the spa.
As Lei Zhao was walking towards the location, every woman's eyes were on him. Lei Zhao was wearing another floral shirt and shorts, but still, even though he dressed simply, everyone found him attractive.
"Is he a celebrity?"
"Wow, he's so handso!"
"Is he single?"
"Do you think he is here with soone else?"
"If he is no longer single, then his woman would be so lucky…"
A smile appeared on his face. He particularly liked the last sentence that he heard. Of course, Lei Zhao felt proud of himself. Other than his looks, he is proud of who he is—and how loving he is to people he cares about.
Lei Zhao waited patiently outside of the spa, leaning on the pillar behind him. He crossed his arms in front of his chest, excited to see Yan i as he did not see her for half a day.
'Now that I have settled things with Wang Lu, I can now have the ti to be with Yan i,' he thought, the door of the spa opening to reveal his wife.
Lei Zhao's eyes reflected excitent the mont Yan i walked out the door. She looked relaxed and refreshed at the sa ti.
Yan i still wore the sa clothes that she wore a while ago, but her hair now was in a ssy bun, exposing the flawless skin of her neck. The mont her eyes landed on Lei Zhao's familiar figure, Yan i's eyes widened, a flush of blush appearing on her cheek.
"Wifey!"
Lei Zhao called out, Yan i quickly walking towards him to give him a hug. Lei Zhao embraced her as he kissed the top of her head, Yan i giggling as she looked up to stare into his eyes, a sweet smile appearing on her face.
"You really picked up," she said, Lei Zhao, chuckling at her excited reaction.
"I told you I would, didn't I? I kept my promise, Wifey," he replied, the other people in the island looking at them with loving and jealous eyes of how sweet the married couple is.
Yan i still had her arms wrapped around Lei Zhao's waist, "I'm hungry… are we going to have lunch soon?"
"Yes," Lei Zhao nodded, "Everything is prepared. Don't worry."
With that, Lei Zhao started walking, his arm wrapping around Yan i's waist. Yan i also wrapped her arm around Lei Zhao's waist, the two of them already walking towards the restaurant where Lei Zhao ate with Wang Lu a while ago.
Lei Zhao's face turned slightly serious when he rembered that he t with Yan i's ex-husband and had asked him about the traumatic experience that she experienced five years ago. He internally sighed as he felt bad for lying to Yan i, wanting to tell her what happened so she won't hide anything from her.
After a few minutes of walking, the waitress led them to a spot near the ocean as well. Yan i had a refreshed smile as she stared at the waves crashing on the shore.
The mont they sat down, the waitress also served them the food that Ye Xing ordered for them. They both had crabs and shrimps on their plate, along with so oysters.
It had been long since Yan i enjoyed eating seafood. She grinned ear to ear as she sowhat danced on her seat, Lei Zhao, laughing as she found her action adorable.
"You seem to be excited, Wifey," Lei Zhao reacted, Yan i nodding enthusiastically.
"It's been so long since I ate seafood, Lei Zhao," Yan i reacted, drinking the iced tea that was served beside her plate.
Lei Zhao watched Yan i, the guilt on his face slowly appearing as Yan i t his eyes. Lei Zhao's eyebrows furrowed as Yan i's smile slowly disappeared, her head cocking to the side as she wondered why Lei Zhao had an unusual expression on his face.
"What's wrong? You seem so uneasy, Lei Zhao," Yan i reacted, Lei Zhao, sighing as he could no longer keep secrets from Yan i.
"Yan i," Lei Zhao called out her na and every ti he said her na, she knew he was serious. "I'm sorry."
Yan i raised a brow at him, "For what?"
"I kept sothing from you," Lei Zhao straightforwardly said, Yan i's face turning serious. "The reason why I was busy last night until earlier was because I had to deal with sothings—including talking to your ex-husband, Wang Lu."
Hearing this, the joy in Yan i's eyes disappeared in an instant. Her lips turned into a tight line as her eyebrows twitched, not expecting what Lei Zhao had told her.
"Wait you… t with Wang Lu?"
"Yes."
Yan i scoffed, "For what? Even during our honeymoon?"
"I'm sorry."
Yan i scoffed once more as she rolled her eyes at him. Suddenly, she lost the appetite to eat. She lost the excitent she felt when she saw Lei Zhao. She found it impossible for her to hear those words from him—why did he have the guts to talk to Wang Lu?
Didn't they hate each other?
"You have to tell ," Yan i said, her eyes narrowing as Lei Zhao felt coldness etched in her voice. "Everything."
Lei Zhao gulped. He nodded as he heaved a small sigh, telling Yan i everything that he had been doing since yesterday until the talk he had with Wang Lu.
"I asked him about what happened to you years ago."
Hearing the first statent had instantly made Yan i's body stiffen in surprise. Her trauma is sothing sensitive to her and with Lei Zhao knowing about it, she instantly felt uneasy.
Seeing the discomfort on her face, Lei Zhao's eyebrows furrowed in worry, feeling guilty of not being honest with her, but he has to be honest with her now.
"I'm sorry, Yan i," Lei Zhao apologized, "I had to seek for so clues about what happened to you and with the issue that is happening to us now, it could be connected to it. What Wang Lu knows may be of help—I had to do sothing about it, too, not only rely on the other people helping us."
Yan i shook her head. She heaved a sigh as she started relaxing, knowing the reason why Lei Zhao had talked to Wang Lu. However, even though Lei Zhao was being honest with her now, Yan i could not help but feel uneasy still since the topic about her kidnap is sour.
"Because of the talk I had with Wang Lu, we had gotten so clues about what was happening."
"What?"
The topic at hand now got Yan i's complete attention. Both of them stared at each other seriously as Lei Zhao continued telling her what he had found out from the talk he had with her ex-husband.
"The issues now may have sothing to do with the man who kidnapped you. Gu Zhi."
The mont Yan i heard this, she sighed as she shook her head, rembering what happened years ago that still sent shivers down her spine.
"I don't even know why the man hates . I am no longer with Wang Lu so why shouldn't he leave alone?"
Lei Zhao shook his head. He sighed once more as he spoke, the atmosphere between them becoming serious.
"Gu Zhi's target was never Wang Lu, but you all along."
Yan i's eyebrows furrowed in confusion, "What?"
Lei Zhao then told everything that he knew to Yan i. He told her about the talk he had with Wang Lu, and he had talked to her about the other clues and information that they had—including the involvent of Gu Zhi's sister, Gu Ren.
With everything connecting like a puzzle giving a clear picture, Yan i was obviously at a loss for words. She gritted her teeth as her hands on the table turned into a tight fists, her blood boiling in anger as she now found her suffering unreasonable.
"So I was tortured… just because of his sister who's so obsessed!?"
Yan i roared out in anger. She has always thought that the man was a rival of Wang Lu and he wanted to get back at him. But because of such a stupid reason like this he tortured her day and night and even drugged her multiple tis untill he finally broke her?
