98 Bedded by a playboy

The next day, Yan Mei woke up feeling a lot better. Her fever was gone, and she was just mostly tired, a sniffle here or there left.

Lei Zhao helped her to bath even though she had protested and had made her breakfast. Now they were sitting in the living room snuggling while Yan Mei read a book.

"What?" Yan Mei asked when she felt Lei Zhao's gaze on her.

"I didn't know you are the type to enjoy reading these cliché romance books." Lei Zhao asked as he played with her hair.

Yan Mei shrugged, "My best friend introduced them to me in high school. I read only one, and I became addicted to it. It just…. I have been too busy to read them."

Lei Zhao's eyes flickered with amus.e.m.e.nt. "Oh, so what was the first book you read that made you addicted?"

Yan Mei's cheeks warmed when she remembered the first book she read. It was too explicit for someone her age. Clearing her throat, she replied, "Bedded by a playboy."

Lei Zhao grinned, "Huh? Based on the title, it's an explicit book, right?"

Yan Mei bit her lips like a kid caught by an a.d.u.l.t for doing something terrible.

She scratched her nose in embarrassment, "Yeah. It was an explicit book. Really explicit."

Yan Mei chuckled as she played with the book in her hands.

"What was it about?"

Lei Zhao mused with a smile on his face.

Yan Mei turned to look at him for a few seconds.

"You really want to know?" Lei Zhao nodded.

Yan Mei hesitated for a bit before she sighed, "It was about an incredibly handsome playboy who didn't do commitments and went to visit his brother at a ranch. At the ranch, he met a pure and nice girl who has zero knowledge about s.e.x. You see those typical good girls?"

Yan Mei asked as she licked her lips.

Lei Zhao nodded in amus.e.m.e.nt, "Yeah, I do. Continue."

Yan Mei glanced at him, smiling and arching a brow.

"The playboy felt the girl was too pure, so he wanted to taint her. He seduced her."

Lei Zhao scrunched his face, "Wait; he was able to seduce her that easily?"

Yan Mei couldn't help but snort, "Lei Zhao, the guy was really hot with his s.e.xy eight packs and mesmerizing eyes which could let any woman swoon. I think seducing an innocent girl wouldn't be a problem."

Yan Mei bit her lips and stared helplessly at Lei Zhao's unhappy expression.

"So, if you were the girl, would you have been easily seduced by the guy?"

Lei Zhao blurted out in a hushed voice.

Yan Mei rolled her eyes, and a gleam of mischievousness passed through her eyes.

"Why not? Haven't you heard those good girls like bad boys?"

Irritation slashed through Lei Zhao as his mood unconsciously dampened.

"Also, the girl was attracted to the guy. Just a look of the guy sent the girl's blood boiling."

Yan Mei explained with a dreamy look on her face. Suddenly she remembered how many times she had fantasized about meeting a guy like the playboy who would sweep her off her feet.

"Lei Zhao, don't tell me you're jealous of a book character that I read when I was fourteen!"

Yan Mei asked as she shot him a taunting look when she saw Lei Zhao's face clouded with anger.

"No, I'm not."

Yan Mei raised her brows,

"You are my wife now. Even though you had had fantasies with that playboy, you married me. It's like those people obsessed with celebrities. Whether you envision your happily ever after with the idol, you will marry the boy next door."

Lei Zhao said softly, grinning down at Yan Mei.

Yan Mei blew the hair out of her face and glared at him, "A girl got to dream. Stop being pessimistic."

Lei Zhao shrugged, "I'm not. I'm just telling the truth."

Yan Mei rolled her eyes and ignored him.

"Wifey…you didn't finish telling me the story."

Lei Zhao said as he traced his fingers on the lines on her cheeks.

"Oh, the girl found out she was pregnant after a fight that caused the guy to leave the town."

Lei Zhao groaned, "So…she raised the baby alone and lived happily ever after with the baby?"

Yan Mei playfully slapped his hands.

"Ouch, Wifey. What was that for?" Lei Zhao winced as he held the place she had hit.

Yan Mei shook her head, "No, genius. The girl went to the city to look for the guy. Okay, okay, before I continue, tell me will you accept the baby and marry the girl if you're the guy?"

Lei Zhao looked up, frowning and pouting like an adorable three-year-old.

"I will accept the baby but…. I don't think I will marry the girl."

Yan Mei's eyes widened, "What?"

Lei Zhao shrugged, "Wifey, playboys don't do commitments, remember?"

Lei Zhao laughed at the disbelieving expression on Yan Mei's face.

"Wait; what? You will let the child grow up without both his parents?"

Lei Zhao shook his head and tried to explain. "I mean if the girl is pretty like you. Then maybe I will marry her."

"You-"

The sound of someone ringing the bell interrupted Yan Mei. Her brows drew together.

"Are you expecting someone?" She asked Lei Zhao.

Lei Zhao shook his head, "Let me check who it is."

Lei Zhao said as he planted a kiss on her forehead.

Lei Zhao strode towards the door. He first looked through the peephole and realized it was a man.

He frowned and opened the door, "Can I help you?" Lei Zhao asked flatly.

The man flashed Lei Zhao a smile and nodded, "I'm looking for Fen-Yan Mei."

Lei Zhao noticed the slip of the man, but he ignored it. Based on this, he knew the man knew his wife five years ago.

"Lei Zhao, who is there?" Yan Mei asked as she strode towards the door.

She stiffened when she saw the person standing at her doorstep.

'What is he doing here?'
