Through the busiest part of Imperial, cars and pedestrians crowded the streets as everyone head for lunch.
Amongst the many cars, Lu Tian’s black Maserati Levante Trofeo slows down to make a turn into a public underground parking lot.
As the car comes to a stop and the engine shut off, both driver and passenger doors to the car opens.
Yue Ling did not wait for Lu Tian to come and open the door for her. Stepping out of the car, she wore a black mask as the same with Lu Tian.
They were not hiding their faces from their fans or any paparazzi nearby, but from the unknown person they have yet to catch.
Closing the passenger door, Yue Ling acted normal, but her eyes did not forget to scan the surrounding rows of cars for anyone suspicious.
Walking to the back of the car, Lu Tian had already opened the trunk door and was reaching for the bag of food they bought from Elegancy.
Seeing there were four bags in total, she offers to help.
"Let me help carry a bag."
When Lu Tian heard her, he did not let her get near the bags. He shakes his head as he moves them out of the trunk.
"I got it."
He held the four bags in one hand and takes a step back to close the trunk door. Once it was fully closed, he press the alarm to lock the car and adjust the bags in his hand, so that he was holding two bags in each hand.
Yue Ling rolled her eyes and decides not to argue with him for wanting to help. She turns away and walks ahead.
Just as she took three steps, her brows furrow and she pause in her steps. Turning to face the man behind, she arch a brow.

Standing by the car, Lu Tian did not move an inch. He stares at his wife for a long minute without changing the indifference in his expression.
"What’s wrong? Why aren’t you moving?"
Yue Ling tilt her head with a perplex look. Everyone is waiting for them, so why is he just standing there?
Just as she was thinking to herself, the man who did move an inch slightly nudge his left elbow out.
"..."
Yue Ling was struck dumbfounded when she saw this. She lifts her hand and massage her temples for a quick but long second. As she lowers her hand, she walks back to the man.
Standing next to him, she held his arm and sighs.
"You can be so childish, you know that? More childish than a child."
Lu Tian was not affected by her words at all. Even though the black mask was covering his mouth, one can see the upside-down crescent shape of his eyes as he smiles to himself.
He can be as childish as he wants as long as his wife is always by his side.
Feeling satisfy of her understanding, he takes a step forward and walks toward the exit of the parking lot.
As the two quickly blended into the crowd, no one took notice of them as the mask hid them well enough.
After walking a good distance, Yue Ling and Lu Tian had already walked pass three buildings. Reaching an intersection, they made a right turn and walked pass two small shopping stores until they reached the third store.
Walking into the store, the couple looked like customers going in to shop around.
Inside, there were workers and a few customers as it was a equipment store for computers. However, no one paid any attention to the couple that just came in.
Everyone minded their own business like they didn’t see Yue Ling and Lu Tian.
Walking through an aisle, Yue Ling didn’t forget to look at each thing she passes. It was like she was a customer looking to buy some things for her broken computer at home.
However, as the two reach the end part of the store, their figures cannot be seen from anyone else inside.
Both individuals made a left turn and leisurely disappears through the back flip flap doors.
"I’m soooo hungry..."
Xu Long’s groggy voice sounds with his eyes closed as he rest his head on top of the table with Liu Shan’s computer equipment.
He hasn’t eaten anything all morning. If he had known he would be starving like this, he wouldn’t have skipped breakfast.
As he curse inside at his own misfortune, his eyes suddenly shot open and he abruptly stood up from his chair. He did not hesitate to sniff the air.
"Mr. Assistant, are you alright?"
Tang Zhonghui asks when he saw the assistant acting weird again. He knows that Xu Long is hungry, but so is everyone else. However, they couldn’t leave because their bosses weren’t here yet.
Without answering the man, Xu Long focused on sniffing his way through the place. He kept his eyes closed and allow his nose to lead the way.
He sniffs the entire place from the walls to the windows and even the floor.
"..."
Everyone stares at the assistant and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. How can such a person exist in the same world as them?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt’s no wonder he hasn’t found a girlfriend.
Oblivious to the thoughts of the people in the room with him, Xu Long could smell the delicious aroma getting closer and closer. Just when he got a stronger sense of the delicious fragrance, he turns right.
"Ack."
However, he was suddenly hit in the face by something slightly hard. It made a plastic crumble sound that made his brows wrinkle.
"Sniff... sniff."
He inhales deeply through his nose to smell whatever it is that hit his face and sigh at the delicious savor.
Just the aroma alone was enough for him to know that whatever it is was very delicious and heave like. So good that the smell alone is enough to make his empty stomach full.
No... He needs to eat whatever is causing this great smell.
His eyes shot open, but was met with what looks like a black plastic bag in front of him. He struggle a gulp as he knew the mouth watering aroma was coming from inside the bag.
"Food... Hungry..."
"Xu Long."
Just as Xu Long mumbled his two words like a zombie, he furrow his brows. Why does the voice in his head suddenly sounds like his boss?
Blinking his eyes, he slowly leans his head away from the bag. Behind the bag was not a face but instead a pair of legs wearing expensive black suit pants.
"Uh... Boss, where is your face?"
He scratch the back of his head in confusion at what he was seeing. Subconsciously, he glance up and was met with a pair of dark cold eyes staring down at him.
His lips trembles into a crooked smile as a fake chuckle escapes his mouth.
"Heh, heh. Boss, you’re here."
