Chapter 72 Lovers' quarrel
Once Lei Zhao And Yan i ca back from Lei's old house. Lei Zhao realized that his wife had been pretty distant with him. It was like she wanted to tell him sothing but didn't know how to say it. Lei Zhao scrunched his brows together.
He really hated the ambiguous atmosphere between them. Sighing, he set up the dining table and went to call Yan i who was having a conference eting in the study room. When he reached the study room, he leaned against the door and gazed at her, she seed concentrated; so she did not notice him.
Her brows were knitted together as she listened to whatever the person was saying on the computer. She looked alluring as she exuded a domineering aura. He could bet that the executives were trembling even though they were communicating via the computer.
Feeling his gaze, Yan i raised her head and for a mont they stared at each other. She smiled radiantly up at him.
"Have you been waiting for too long?" She beseeched softly.
Lei Zhao smiled and shook his head.
Yan i nodded and turned to look at her computer.
"eting adjourned." She stated as she shut down the computer.
The executives on the other side couldn't believe that they just saw their cold and aloof boss smiling. She looked so beautiful that they felt their heart beating in their chest. But the ultimate question was who was the person she was talking to so softly? Was their iron-lady finally in love?
The executives had many questions but unfortunately, no one was available to answer their questions.
Yan i who had no idea of the chaos she has caused because of her smile stood up and followed Lei Zhao in the dining hall.
Lei Zhao pulled a chair of her; Yan i offered a small smile as she sat down. Lei Zhao removed the bones in the fish before serving her. Yan i looked at the food and felt tears welled in her eyes.
'Will he leave once he knows the truth?' Yan i thought as she stared at Lei Zhao who was busily removing the bones from the fish.
Yan i stood up abruptly from the chair she was sitting on which cause Lei Zhao to look up.
"Wifey, what is wrong?" Lei Zhao asked with concern laced in his voice.
Yan i avoided his eyes; a shadow of guilt darkened her eyes.
"I-I-I have lost my appetite. I want -to go -the bathroom." Because of her guilt, her words were incoherent and her palms were clammy.
Lei Zhao squinted his eyes before he could respond Yan i dashed out of the dining hall. Yan i knew what she did would make him worry about her but she needed space to think.
She walked to the bathroom and stood infront of the bathroom sink mirror. Maybe she was being greedy and selfish from hiding the truth from him. She was depriving a great guy, the possibility of being a father.
She raked a frustrated hand through her hair. Heaving a sigh, she splashed water on her face.
"Hey." Lei Zhao said gently causing her to leap in surprise. Yan i turned; her heart was racing as Lei Zhao's eyes bore into hers creating an uncomfortable atmosphere.
"You scared ." Yan i muttered while darting her eyes.
"What are you hiding from ?" Lei Zhao's voice cracked out in a low yet gentle voice. Yan i knew he would figure out that sothing was going on but she really couldn't tell him.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Yan i said tensely.
Lei Zhao let out a long breath, "Wifey, I need you to tell . Please I just want to know you're okay."
"I'm fine! I have already told you." Yan i said between gritted teeth, tears blurred her vision. She could feel him coming closer to her but she couldn't look at him in the eyes.
She saw how happy he was when he told his grandfather he would give him a grandson by the end of the year. She just didn't know how to tell him that the possibility of being a father with her was low.
Yan i didn't know what to say or how to lie her way out of this conversation. What would he do if he finds out? She didn't know why but she was afraid; afraid of him leaving her.
"Please Wifey, just tell . You can tell anything." Lei Zhao held her shoulders gently but she pushed him away and turned to walk away but Lei Zhao took her hand and tried to stop her.
"Just leave alone." Yan i began walking away but his roaring voice stopped her.
"All I want to know is what is wrong with my wife! Is that a sin?" Lei Zhao was frustrated and needed everything to go back to normal. They were just fine a few hours ago what happened?!
"I-I- can we just not talk about it?" Yan i turned her back to him and began walking to the bedroom.
"Wifey-"
"Leave alone," she said as she kept walking to the bedroom. Lei Zhao froze in his spot and let out a frustrated sigh. He ran his fingers through his hair, pacing up and down. Lei Zhao hated himself for forcing her to open up to him but he just wanted them to be the loving couple they were a few hours ago.
****
Yan i waited for a few hours for Lei Zhao but he never ca to bed; She wished she had told him. When he cos she would tell him if he wants to leave-, she sighed.
She finally drifted off to sleep a few hours later; but the noise in the kitchen woke her up.
She furrowed her brows and ca downstairs. She ca to et a drunk Lei Zhao sitting on the floor.
"Wifey- is that you?"
Yan i sighed, she has never seen Lei Zhao drunk before. She never thought her actions would hurt him.
"Let's go to bed." Yan i whispered softly.
"No-no-no." Lei Zhao shook his head.
"I want to talk to you." He said as he beckoned at her, patting the floor beside him.
Yan i narrowed her eyes and sat beside him.
"I'm sorry about earlier." He murmured.
"No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't hide anything from you."
Lei Zhao yawned. "No, I shouldn't have forced you to tell . I was jus-t worried about you, Wifey."
Yan i felt tears brimming in her eyes as she felt him rested his head on her shoulder. She looked at him and thought he might be sleeping but he suddenly spoke.
"I really hate fighting with you. It makes feel uncomfortable." He said with a frown marred on his face.
Yan i chuckled.
" too" Yan i whispered back.
"I hate seeing you cry, and I hate the fact that it might be because of . Can you promise to tell when I wrong you so that I can apologize?"
Yan i felt a pang in her heart; How can soone be so concerned about her? She felt really stupid for doubting him and thinking he would leave her.
"I will." She mumbled.
Lei Zhao nodded.
"Good. You an everything to , Wifey. And we are going to grow old together."
His words lted her inside and she snuggled closer to him on the floor.
