Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife-Chapter 55 Dinner Date (2)

They continued talking while refilling their wine glasses. Yan Mei and Lei Zhao talked about their childhood, what they like and also what they dislike.

Lei Zhao realized that his wife was really a simple person who had a high intellect with a great character, who also seems to know a lot of things.

She laughed at his jokes and looked even more beautiful. Lei Zhao felt happy that she laughed because of him. At that moment he promised to work hard to make his wife laugh more often.

Once they finished eating the waiter brought them dessert. It was a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, filled with chocolate ganache. There were also sweet fresh strawberries which was used for the mid layer and for the topping.

Yan Mei reached for a strawberry but Lei Zhao deliberately snatched it just as her fingertip touched the fruit.

"Hey!"

He smirked at her as he took a large bite. Yan Mei pouted at him, but he smiled affectionately as he stood up and pulled her head for kiss.

He kissed her softly, tasting the sweetness of the strawberry mixed with her sweetness while feeding her the rest with his mouth. Once he was done, he smiled at her. Yan Mei blushed and looked away.

They shared the dessert as he fed her a small bite. Yan Mei couldn't help but smile with pleasure at the sweetness. Lei Zhao looked at her smile and thought she looked cute. How could he not love her?

He didn't like sweets but looking at the pleasure on his wife's face, he couldn't help but take a large bite with the enthusiasm of a child. Yan Mei laughed when she saw his smile congealed then melted into horror.

"How can you eat this," Lei Zhao complained bitterly as he gave her another bite. Larger than the first one.

Some of the cream spread at the corner of her lips. Yan Mei knew that he did that deliberately. He reached towards her before she could raise her napkin. He placed his hand softly on her cheek and leaned toward her. Lei Zhao licked the cream from the corner of her lips.

"Yummy," he purred, making Yan Mei glare at him.

"I thought you hated it," she said rolling her eyes at him.

"Yeah, I do… but I don't mind eating it from your lips. It makes it taste better."

Yan Mei flushed.

"Rogue."

Lei Zhao laughed when he heard her.

Once they finished eating Lei Zhao stood up from his chair and stepped over to her. He held out his hand which Yan Mei took and stood up. Lei Zhao led the way as they walked towards the waves.

The air was still warm. The clear sky speckled with stars. The moon, nearly full, lighted the path ahead of them.

They stopped at the edge of another sandy area of the shore of the ocean.

Suddenly, Lei Zhao knelt down and unbuckled her shoes, then slipped them off her feet. Yan Mei stepped onto the sand. She smiled and squished it between her toes. Lei Zhao watched her with his eyes gleaming with affection. He watched as she ran towards the waves.

Yan Mei let out a giggle as the water touched her feet. It was cold—almost numbing, but she didn't care. She couldn't resist the temptation to feel the water on her feet. The night was still, except for the cute woman splashing and exploring in the water before him.

Lei Zhao was really surprised tonight. He had never seen this side of his wife before. She looked happier, cute and relaxed. He knew she was showing him the real her underneath her cold mask.

Seeing this side of her let his possessiveness kick in. He would protect her and make sure to keep the smile on her face. Thinking about the people who had hurt her, a murderous glint passed through his eyes. How can someone hurt a goddess like her?

Yan Mei turned and looked back at him standing on the beach. She cocked her head as if to dare him to come in after her. He grinned and shook his head. She tilted her head and shouted,

"Why? Are you afraid of water?!"

"No, I just—" Lei Zhao was interrupted as Yan Mei kicked a stream of water towards him, barely missing soaking his dry clothes.

Lei Zhao wasn't expecting that. The look of shock on his face let her knew he was caught off guard. She tilted her head back and laughed. At that moment he fell in love with her a little more, wondering how that was even possible when he was already madly in love with her.

Bored with playing alone, Yan Mei rejoined him on the sand. Once she reached him, he pulled her closer to him with his hand wrapped around her waist. He kissed her forehead, nose, lips. They kiss playfully with his hands on the back of her neck, holding her close to him.

They kissed until nearly out of breath. Once they pulled apart Lei Zhao took her hands and started walking to the dock. Lei Zhao led her to the very end of the dock. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚

They sat for a while at the end of the dock as Yan Mei tried to put her toes in the water, but it was just out of reach. She shrugged and rested her head on his shoulder instead.

Letting out a sigh, she was finally relaxed, resting against him. Enjoying the beauty of the ocean and the stillness of the night. f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦

Yan Mei wished this moment would never end. She could just be carefree and pretended that everything was okay. She didn't have to pretend with him. She knew this man would still love her no matter which side of her she showed to him.

That's why she acted like her real self—cute and playful and allowed herself to enjoy this date and his company.

Lei Zhao took her hands and caressed them from her wrist to her fingertip as if it was the most beautiful and fragile thing in the world.

"Thank you," Yan Mei mumbled, sincerity etched in her voice.

Lei Zhao smiled softly and kissed her forehead gently.

"No, thank you for coming into my life," he said, looking at her lovingly than usual.

Yan Mei removed her head from his shoulder and kissed him sensually as the moon and stars witnessed the new chapter in their life.
