First Kiss

Yan Mei froze when she heard him, she didn't remember the last time something so simple made her laugh. She coughed to hide her awkwardness.

Yan Mei looked around and realized that they were still at the parking lot and he was leaning on her car window. She could see a couple of girls taking pictures of Lei Zhao. She didn't know why, but she was feeling annoyed.

"Get in. Let me give you a ride or did you bring your car," she asked. Lei Zhao grinned. 

"No, I didn't bring a car and I would love a ride," he said as he opened the car door and sat in the passenger's seat.

Yan Mei started the car and turned to look at him. Their eyes met and she saw the affectionate look in his eyes. Before she could react, Lei Zhao kissed her lightly. Her rosy lips were covered by two thin lips. By the time she was able to react, Lei Zhao had already moved away and was smirking at her. Yan Mei's face suddenly turned red and she glared at Lei Zhao with disappointment.

"How dare you kiss me without my consent," she said angrily. Lei Zhao smiled in reply.

"My wife, kissing you is my right." After listening to Lei Zhao's brief explanation, Yan Mei gritted her teeth. She felt that he would kill her with his shamelessness.

Yan Mei couldn't find the right words to refute what he said. Who made her marry him? She threw him a look, but did not dare to answer. Yan Mei took a deep breath and regained her indifferent face.

Lei Zhao wanted to laugh. Through the mirror, he could see her flushed face and thought that she looked cute.

"Where are you going," Yan Mei asked indifferently.

"My wife, we are already married. Let's spend some time together." Lei Zhao muttered.

"Okay," Yan Mei mumbled back. Lei Zhao was a little surprised by her answer. He thought that she would have not agreed.

Yan Mei drove him to the parking lot of Buckram Estate, the place that she was staying at. She opened the car door and was about to get down, but then Lei Zhao suddenly grabbed her wrist and she turned around to face him.

"Is there a supermarket here?"

Yan Mei glanced at him and pointed her finger towards the direction of the supermarket. "Go left and you will see the sign board there."

"I didn't bring money though," Lei Zhao said and smiled embarrassingly.

Yan Mei got the clue that he wanted her to keep him company, so she thought and then replied, "I will go with you."

The two went to the supermarket together. Yan Mei silently accompanied him without saying anything. She watched him pick up different food and put it in the cart. Lei Zhao suddenly stopped and turned to look at her.

"What kind of food do you like to eat?"

"I'm not picky. Anything is fine with me."

Yan Mei looked at the almost full cart. She was not the one who was going to eat the food, so she didn't care what he was picking.

"I think I have all the ingredients, let's go. You like spicy food right?"

Yan Mei froze in place for a bit, realizing that the food he placed in the cart was not for him. He wanted to go to her apartment and cook for her. After thinking about it, she realized that she had no food to eat tonight, so she didn't say anything.

She went straight to the cart and removed the package of shrimp. Lei Zhao guessed that she didn't like shrimp.

"Why didn't you say anything when I put the shrimp in the cart?"

"I thought you were buying ingredients for yourself."

Lei Zhao was taken back by her words and he felt a little uncomfortable. They were already married, but this woman still treated him like a stranger. At this point, Lei Zhao had forgotten that they have only met three times.

When he thought about it, he felt discomfort in his heart. With a sullen face, he followed her to her apartment after she paid for the ingredients. He made up his mind to remind her that he was now her husband. When they reached the apartment, Yan Mei entered the passcode and opened the door. The moment they entered, Lei Zhao dropped the grocery bags on the floor and pinned her against the door.

Yan Mei gasped in surprise. Their eyes met and time seemed to freeze. Lei Zhao raised his hands and gently caressed her cheeks while their eyes were locked, both of them trying to read each other's emotions.

Yan Mei didn't say anything. Lei Zhao could see the confusion, anger, and other unclear  emotions buried deep in her eyes. For this man, her mood was quite complicated.

She initially agreed to his proposal because she was tired of going on those boring blind dates with arrogant men who think they can have her. She was the one who made this decision and did not want to be unfair to Lei Zhao so she thought that she should at least try her best to be a good wife.

'Lei Zhao, since I chose you, I will not retreat or treat you badly. Even if I don't like you now, I will try to love you as long as you remain loyal and do not betray me. Then I will never leave you,' Yan Mei thought in her head.

She wanted to start again. She hoped that he wouldn't disappoint her.

Looking at the flicker of emotions in her eyes, Lei Zhao brushed her hair from her shoulders and moved closer to her. Yan Mei swallowed when she felt his lean body pressed against her.

She thought he was going to kiss her, but instead, he caressed her neck slowly and gently. Suddenly, Yan Mei felt the graze of his lips against her neck.

Her head began to spin as she felt butterflies in her stomach. Lei Zhao kissed her earlobe softly and then worked his way down her neck to her collarbone before returning to look at her face.

Yan Mei felt his breath curling against her skin. For the first time in a long time, she felt her body craving a man's touch. Her eyes were filled with lust, her lips were slightly parted, and her cheeks were a little flushed.

Lei Zhao looked at her and thought to himself that she looked really sexy right now. A gush of desire suddenly overwhelmed him. 'This woman was truly a temptress,' he thought.

"My wife. Do you want me to kiss you?"

His hands cupped her breasts and gave a small squeeze. He then softly brushed his fingertips on her nipples.

"Hmm," Yan Mei moaned. She knew that she had lost all her rationality right now. That sound was all Lei Zhao needed. He cupped her face in his hands and pulled her into a fiery and passionate kiss.
