Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife

Chapter 264 Happy

　　Hours passed and it was already five in the afternoon. Lei Zhao called Ye Xing to talk to the guards guarding the cave to give them access for exploration. 

When Lei Zhao called Ye Xing, Yan Mei narrowed her eyes at Lei Zhao as she watched him do a call. 

She found it amazing how Ye Xing and Lei Zhao could be sneaky. She did not notice Ye Xing’s appearance last night and only knew now from Lei Zhao that Ye Xing was here on the island since last night. 

Does being a secretary have something to do with being effective in becoming a secret when needed, too?

Two of them were already walking towards the cave. When they arrived in front of the entrance, Lei Zhao and Yan Mei saw Ye Xing carrying their jackets. 

”Mr. and Mrs. Lei.” Ye Xing did a small bow to greet them. “Good afternoon.”

”En.” Lei Zhao nodded as he got both of their matching jackets, giving Yan Mei one. “Thank you, Ye Xing.”

Yan Mei gave a small smile to Ye Xing as she wore her jacket. Afterwards, she got her scrunchie that was around her wrist, tying her hair into a ponytail to keep her hair in place. 

The three of them then walked towards the entrance, the two guards giving them a smile as they welcome the two. 

”It has been long since people wanted to explore the cave,” one guard commented, the three looking at them as they listened to him speak. “It would only be you two today since your secretary asked to make it happen as much as possible.”

Yan Mei raised a brow at Lei Zhao, “You wanted to rent this whole cave to ourselves?”

Lei Zhao nodded enthusiastically, “Of course! I told you—my attention is all yours and it would be more exciting to have the cave to ourselves! I want you scared, clinging on to me!”

Yan Mei rolled her eyes at Lei Zhao’s childishness. She giggled a bit as she heaved a small sigh, looking at the two guards who are guarding outside. 

”Is it safe to be inside?” she asked, the other guard nodding. 

”It is. It’s just that people don’t find it amusing to travel with their lovers and only groups of friends explore inside. However, it is good to be cautious while inside,” he answered and said, the other guard giving Lei Zhao a backpack. 

”There is a First-Aid Kit inside along with some walkie-talkies and bottled water. If an emergency arises inside, communicate with us immediately. We know the cave like the back of our palm.”

Lei Zhao got the backpack from the guard and wore it on his back. The other guard then gave a map to Yan Mei, making her open it as both of them now saw how the cave looks like inside. Yan Mei’s eyes widened when a part of the map had gotten her attention. 

”This place,” she commented, pointing at the middle most part of the cave’s map. “There’s a spring in the middle of the cave?”

”Oh, yeah!” The guard sounded enthusiastic. “If you’re up for the walk, you two could go to the spring and it’s definitely breathtaking—stunning!”

Lei Zhao looked at Yan Mei, “Do you want to visit the spring? It seems far. You might find it tiring when you 

just had a spa day.”

”Ah, no,” Yan Mei shook her head, “I’d like to try exploring the place. It is something that we rarely experience,” she added, a smile appearing on Lei Zhao’s face. 

”Alright then,” he said, getting the flashlights from the guard in front of them. “Let’s explore the cave then.”

With that, the two of them entered, Lei Zhao leading the way as he looked over at Yan Mei to look at the map that she was holding. The guards then sat down in front of the cave’s entrance as they started conversing with Ye Xing about the history of the cave.

”Let’s take another left,” Yan Mei said, Lei Zhao holding her free hand as his other hand held the flashlight to light their path. 

”Through this fork?”

In front of them were three entrances. Lei Zhao was confused to which left he would take, making sure that they should arrive at the spring to enjoy the location to themselves. 

Yan Mei looked at the map and then back at the view in front of them. She then pointed the middle entrance, the two of them already making way to the spring. 

Their footsteps echoed as they took each step in. It was damp inside as well, making Yan Mei hold on to Lei Zhao’s arm as they continue walking onwards. Since they are already near the spring, Yan Mei kept the map in her pocket. 

”Are you alright?” Lei Zhao asked, Yan Mei nodding even in the dark. 

”I am. Why?”

”Nothing,” Lei Zhao said, continuing to lead the way. “I am just worried that you’re tired because we have been walking for a very long time.”

”Ah…”

Hearing what Lei Zhao had said, Yan Mei now felt that her feet were indeed aching and that her legs started to weaken. The moment Lei Zhao had commented how long they were walking, that’s when Yan Mei felt that she is getting tired. 

”Let’s just rest when we arrive at the spring. Alright?”

”Alright.”

They had a silent walk going to the spring. As their footsteps continued to echo, little by little they could already see the glimpse of what is ahead of them. As they continued onward, the cave seemed to be turning brighter even though there was no source of light inside. 

Could it be that there’s a whole in this cave to make moonlight pass through?

And they were right. The moment they had already arrived in the spring, the body of water was in the middle of the area. Above them was a hole big enough to fit two people, making moonlight pass through as it provided them a natural light. Only then that both of them realized that it was already evening. 

”Wow!” 

Yan Mei widened her eyes in amazement. She was obviously amazed with the spring being in the cave and with the moonlight passing through, it had made the location beautiful, making her forget the feeling that she was tired. 

Yan Mei walked on ahead, going towards the spring. Lei Zhao followed her figure with loving eyes as he watched her enjoy. Lei Zhao then thought that being away from City S isn’t so bad after all. Actually, he would rather want to be away from City S for a long time if this is what it takes to make Yan Mei happy. 

”Lei Zhao…” 

Yan Mei called out to her husband, saying his name in the most loving way she could. She turned her body to face him and when their eyes met, it was as if Lei Zhao had fallen in love with her once again. 

”This place is beautiful. Thank you so much for bringing me here.”

Lei Zhao felt that the organ in his chest was about to burst. His heart started thumping erratically, making him want to approach his wife to give him a loving embrace. 

With that thought in mind, he especially did so. He gave Yan Mei a loving smile as he sauntered towards her, holding her hand as he softly pulled her into his arms. The moment Yan Mei’s head hit on his chest, Lei Zhao heaved a sigh of relief as he kissed the top of her head, not wanting to let her go. 

”Are you really happy with me?”

”Of course, I am.”

”Are you feeling better now that we are away from the city and from work?”

”Yes.”

”Are you sure?”

”I am.”

Yan Mei giggled as she felt how worried Lei Zhao was when it comes to her. With that she did a tiptoe as she planted a soft kiss on his lips, surprising Lei Zhao as Yan Mei rarely does this. 

If this is what it takes to make Yan Mei happy, then Lei Zhao would gladly do it for her. 

”Lei Zhao, I am completely at a loss for words.” 

Both of them stared at each other straight, their figures reflecting on each other’s eyes. Yan Mei reached out to his face, her hand holding Lei Zhao’s left cheek as her thumb caressed his cheek. 

��You are doing everything that you can to make me happy. How could I not enjoy a moment with you? You always do you best to make sure I’m safe—your intentions are clear and pure.”

A smile appeared on Yan Mei’s face, her eyes turning glassy as tears started forming in her eyes. Her heart started to race as she continued looking at Lei Zhao, pouring out her feelings towards him—something that she has never done before. 

”I love you, Lei Zhao… and I am glad that you’re still here with me despite the things that challenged us to make us fall apart.”

”Yan Mei…” 

Lei Zhao could no longer hold it in. With her words heard as it made its way to his heart to pull his heartstrings, Lei Zhao bent down to kiss Yan Mei passionately on the lips. Yan Mei gladly reciprocated as she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling them closer as it left no more space between them. 

With them alone and with them closer in such a beautiful place like this, it made both of them realize the strong feelings they have for each other. 

Other than that, it had also made both of them realize that they wanted to do more—a new experience that they could have which is not possible back in their city. 

With that in mind, they thought that they ought to do it…

Tonight—to make a wonderful, unforgettable memory.
