Chapter 223 I spy
Lei Zhao had advised Yan Mei to wear her most comfortable clothes. Because of that, Yan Mei wore a simple white shirt tucked inside her denim blue shorts. She also wore her most comfortable sneakers and had tied her hair into a ponytail.
As for Lei Zhao, he also wore a simple white shirt to match Yan Mei. He wore simple jeans and his most comfortable sneakers as well.
The two of them stood side by side in front of the full-body mirror. Even though Lei Zhao and Yan Mei casually dressed, the clothes could not hide how attractive these two are.
It was as if they were indeed a match made in heaven!
As the two were admiring each other's looks, they heard the sound of an engine outside their house.
Yan Mei furrowed her brows, "Are we going out with someone else?" she asked, the two of them walking down the stairs to go open the door.
"Oh, this is part of the surprise," Lei Zhao said, piquing Yan Mei's curiosity further.
The moment Lei Zhao opened the door, a personal butler from their other house opened the vehicle's door. The moment he did, a little body came out of the car. He then immediately ran towards Yan Mei, surprising her as a wide grin appeared on her face.
"Boo-boo!"
Niu Niu ran and immediately embraced Yan Mei's legs. Seeing this, Yan Mei laughed as she bent down to carry the five-year-old little boy in her arms, planting many kisses on his cute face.
"Niu Niu, it has been so long since I saw you!"
"Me, too! Me, too!"

"Ahem," Lei Zhao cleared his throat, "You didn't even greet your uncle, Niu Niu."
The little boy turned uninterestedly to his uncle and greeted him flatly, saying: "Hello, uncle."
Lei Zhao clicked his tongue when he heard the little boy's lifeless greeting. Yan Mei laughed out loud when she saw Lei Zhao's reaction. She put Niu Niu down, knelt in front of him as he fixed the straps of his cute blue jumper.
"Why did little Niu Niu decide to hang out with us, hmm?"
"Oh! Uncle said he needed my help to make you happy, so I gladly volunteered!"
Hearing this, Yan Mei stood up, holding Niu Niu's hand. She then looked at her husband beside her, raising a brow at him as she started appreciating the surprise done for her.
"My, adding Niu Niu to your surprise indeed makes me curious about the next," she commented, Lei Zhao, winking at her teasingly.
"Of course, you'd like anything that your Hubby plans," he says, now going out of the house to open his car's door for their entry. "Now sit back and prepared to be amazed!"
Yan Mei and Niu Niu laughed as they exited the house, walking down the stairs to go to the garage. Once their abode is already secured enough, that's when they had entered inside of the car.
Niu Niu sat in the backseat. Yan Mei had secured him with the seatbelt. She then sat in the passenger's seat as Lei Zhao revved the car to life, preparing to drive off.
"Seatbelts?"
"Check!"
Niu Niu patted his seatbelt as Yan Mei fastened herself at the same time.
"Jackets?"
"At the back seat," Yan Mei answered, Niu Niu, tapping the folded jackets beside him.
"First-Aid kit?"
"At the trunk."
"Great!"
Now that everything that they needed was in the car, Lei Zhao did a reverse, then he drove off, already going to their destination.
"So, where are we going?" Yan Mei asked him. Lei Zhao then looked at her from the corner of his eye.
"No questions, just wait until we get there." historical
Playfully rolling her eyes at her husband, Yan Mei looked at Niu Niu from her side mirror and spoke to him.
"Can Niu Niu tell Boo-boo where we're going?"
Niu Niu shook his head, his little voice ever so cute, answering Yan Mei.
"No! I promised this would be a surprise because Uncle and I are going to make you happy!"
Hearing his reply made Yan Mei giggle. She gave up asking questions as Lei Zhao continued to drive towards their destination.
As each minute--or even a second passed by, Yan Mei had to admit that she grew more curious about Lei Zhao's surprise. She felt like a child waiting expectantly, making her have the urge to ask each passing second if they were there yet.
"Let's play a game!"
When Niu Niu's little voice sounded in the car, Yan Mei's attention was diverted to him, making her nod to play with the little boy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Sure! What game?"
"I spy!"
Lei Zhao chuckled as he continued driving, "Then I'll start," he said, the two expectantly waiting as they started staring out their window to watch out for clues on what Lei Zhao is about to say.
"I spy... something green!"
"Tree!"
Yan Mei laughed when she heard the excitement in Niu Niu's voice. He shouted quite loudly when he said his answer, making Lei Zhao laugh as well.
"Come on!" Niu Niu pouted, "You know I'm smart! Say something challenging!"
"I spy--"
"No, Uncle! You look down on me! I want Boo-boo!"
Lei Zhao's eyebrow twitched as he was interrupted by his nephew. Yan Mei couldn't help but laugh at the two as they started arguing like they were the same age.
"Okay, okay," she got their attention, now looking outside the window until she saw a beautiful cloud. "I spy something pretty and soft."
"You!"
Lei Zhao and Niu Niu answered in unison, making Yan Mei blink her eyes a few times. She started laughing, her head almost tipping up as she did not expect them to give that answer.
"No, both of you are wrong!"
"Whaaaaat?"
Yan Mei stifled her laugh, "I was talking about a cloud, but thank you for the answer, anyway. I'll take it as a compliment."
When they were told that the answer was a cloud, the two boys also laughed then they continued doing their game of I Spy.
