Chapter 60 gala (2)
Yan i looked at the woman hugging Lei Zhao and her brows bumped together in a scowl.
"Pumpkin? What are you doing here? I missed you so much," Lei Zhao said excitedly.
"I missed you too," she said releasing Lei Zhao from the hug.
Yan i narrowed her eyes as she stared at the woman. Yan i didn't know who the woman was but she had to admit she was stunning, even though she wasn't worth being a rival, she didn't like others touching what was hers.
"Who are you," she queried coldly.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I just got excited seeing Lei Zhao. I'm Ying Sheng," Ying Sheng said with a smile, offering her hand to her.
Yan i glanced at her stretched hand and ignored her. Ying Sheng arched a sly brow and retreated her stretched hand with a shrug. Lei Zhao cleared his throat and wrapped his hands around Yan i's waist pulling her closer to him.
"Wifey, this is Ying Sheng. My cousin. We are really close that's why she hugged . Don't get angry, okay," Lei Zhao murmured softly.
Ying Sheng raised her brows when she heard Lei Zhao softly explaining to Yan i as if he was afraid that she would misunderstand. It seems her cousin-in-law has her cousin wrapped around her fingers.
Yan i stared at him for a few seconds without saying anything.
"Okay, what about I let you be on top tonight," Lei Zhao whispered in her ears.
Yan i's eyes flashed and turned to look at Ying Sheng.
She nodded politely at her, "Hello."
Ying Sheng bead when she heard Yan i greeting her. She had heard her cousin-in-law was an aloof person so she didn't really care about her ignoring her earlier.
"I have heard so much about you! You're more beautiful in person," Ying Sheng squealed excitedly.
Yan i narrowed her eyes as she wasn't expecting Ying Sheng to talk to her excitedly after the way she treated her.
She looked at Ying Sheng's eyes and saw her eyes glistening with admiration.
'This girl is really interesting,' Yan i thought as she offered a slight smile to Ying Sheng,
"Thank you," Yan i replied.
Lei Zhao shook his head when he saw Ying Sheng trying hard to please soone for the first ti.
"Pumpkin, are you trying to please my wife," Lei Zhao asked with his voice laced with amusent.
"Huh? No-no, it's just that cousin-in-law is really cool," Ying Sheng quickly retorted.
"Cool? That is the first ti soone has called you that, Wifey," Lei Zhao said as he chortled when he saw the horrified look on his wife's face.
Yan i was used to being called cold, indifferent, and beautiful… that Ying Sheng's answer just caught her off guard. It was an interesting change from the usual.
"You think I'm cool, why," Yan i queried with a creased brow.
Ying Sheng licked her lips,
"Well, you have this cold aura around you that makes it difficult for people to approach you. You're confident, beautiful, strong, and independent. Also, you've cousin wrapped around your fingers," Ying Sheng said throwing a subtle wink at Yan i at the sa ti.
Yan i chuckled, "I like you. You're really blunt."
Ying Sheng widened her eyes when she heard Yan i, "Good! We should hang out soti."
Yan i saw the gigantic smile on her face and the pleading and hopefulness in her eyes. It seems she was Lei Zhao's favorite cousin, too, so she didn't have the heart to turn her down.
Yan i nodded, "Alright."
Ying Sheng smiled heartily and turned to look at Lei Zhao.
"I have to leave before my dad starts introducing every bachelor in this room to ," Ying Sheng gritted her teeth.
Lei Zhao threw his head back and laughed.
"Don't tell that uncle wants you to get married to get rid of you."
Ying Sheng rolled her eyes,
"Yeah, he thinks marrying off would make beco a proper lady."
Lei Zhao shook his head. He is the only one who knew why Ying Sheng turned out this way so he perfectly understood his cousin's behavior.
"Call later. We have a lot to talk about," Lei Zhao said with a gleam in his eyes as he smiled softly at her.
Ying Sheng stiffened and nodded,
"Cousin-in-law it was nice to et you!"
Yan i nodded.
Once Ying Sheng left, Yan i turned to look at Lei Zhao.
"Rember your promise," she mumbled.
"I'm a man of my words," Lei Zhao said with a smirk and twinkle in his eyes.
Before Yan i can retort, she saw Lei Zhao's mom walking towards them.
Lei Xiao Tong pulled Yan i into a hug once she reached them. Lei Xiao Tong pulled away before Yan i could hug her back but her hands were still holding unto either side of her arms. Lei Xiao Tong had a huge smile plastered on her face.
"Xiaoi, how are you?"
Yan i smiled, "I'm good mom. How are you?"
"I'm good. Let introduce you to the rest of the family."
After making their rounds of eting Lei Zhao's family and introducing Lei Zhao to her uncle, Yan i excused herself to the washroom.
Yan i stood in front of the sink, washing her hands. She heard the toilet flush, then one of the bathroom doors opened and a woman wearing a white v-neck evening gown ca to stand at the next sink beside Yan i washing her hand.
"Do you think he really loves you," she queried turning to look at Yan i.
Yan i stopped washing her hands and turned to look at the woman. The woman looked a little familiar but she couldn't rember where she knew her.
"You know you can't ever replace his ex. He is just playing with you. Once she cos back, he would dump you."
Yan i chuckled, "Why are you telling this?"
Tang Wei furrowed her brows.
"Because I don't want you to get hurt," she said feigning concern.
"Miss…"
"Tang," Tang Wei replied.
Yan i nodded, "Miss Tang, do you know the ratio of n to woman in this world?"
Tang Wei creased her brows and shook her head.
"Do you know how hard it is to et soone at the age of thirty who has never been in a relationship," Yan i asked crossing her arms across her chest.
Tang Wei swallowed.
'How co this woman doesn't follow the script? Shouldn't she be angry or jealous?'
Tang Wei bit her lips and glanced away.
"Haven't you heard the famous quote?"
Yan i smirked with a gleam of deviltry in her eyes. Seeing this, Tang Wei's lips screwed into a grimace.
"Everyone is sobody's ex. Like you said she is his ex, I'm Mrs. Lei now. Why should I be afraid of a re ex?" Yan i snorted.
Tang Wei's lips prid.
"I just wanted to inform you."
"Thank you for telling ." Yan i nodded. "Now, if you would excuse , my husband is waiting for ," Yan i added with a fake smile plastered on her face.
Tang Wei clenched her fists as she glared at Yan i's back. Just as Yan i was about to open the door she stopped and spoke with a disinterested, monotonous voice.
"Nothing can co between my husband and I. If anybody tries to separate us, I would destroy the person even if I have to use my last breath."
