Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Three days quickly went by as the sky turned clearer with the sun shining down to Imperial. Liu Shan was the first to be discharged from the hospital, but he did not rest like he was told.

He sat on a bench outside of Imperial Military Hospital as his hands continuously dance over the keyboard of his laptop to hack every CCTV in Imperial in search of Chu Li Xiang.

Through each passing minutes a slender figure would run by him and he sighs.

"Boss, you need to rest. You just recovered."

Yue Ling’s figure jogged through the empty paths that surround Imperial Military Hospital. She was still wearing the hospital clothes, but with running shoes.

She had long caught the attention of patients who came out for fresh air, but she did not care.

Right now, she needs to recover fast. If she wants to capture Chu Li Xiang, she cannot waste any time since he had a head start.

However, hearing her assistant’s words, she slows in her run and looks at him.

"You were only discharged from here yesterday. Shouldn’t you be resting too?"

"..."

Liu Shan was dumbfounded by her words. He smiles to her sarcastically and scratch the back of his head.

"Um... That’s true, but I am not a patient anymore. You still are."

Seeing him argue back with her, a faint smile curls on Yue Ling’s lip. It’s good to see that Liu Shan has returned to his normal self.

Thinking this way, she looks away from him and starts to run again.

She knows that she is forcing her body and it is bad for her, but she needs to build up her strength again. The faster she recovers, the faster she can unleash retribution upon Chu Li Xiang and Ning Mei.

As she starts to run again, Liu Shan’s eyes widen, and he yells out after her.

"Boss!! You’ve already ran 25 laps! Why are you still running again?!!"

Feeling a sudden pain, he quickly place his palm on the side of his neck. The cut on his neck was deeper than he had thought and still hasn’t fully recovered, but he didn’t care.

Pressing his hand more against the bandage cut, he continues to yell out to her.

"If Lu Tian sees you running again, this great one is going to really die!!"

Ever since she woke up, she was already moving around, but she started off with small walks, then light jogs and now she was running.

The path that Yue Ling had been running on was a total 400 metered around. She had just started not too long ago and already ran up a little more than 6 miles in total.

Lu Tian was so angry when he first saw her up and running around like she was not a patient admitted to the hospital. He forbid her from running and made sure she was well rested.

However, something happened at Lu Corps and he had to leave, but if the man returned and saw Yue Ling running like this, Liu Shan knows that all Hell will break loose.

Watching her figure run further away, Liu Shan heaves a long sigh. His carefree expression changes to one of concerning.

Everyone had slowly gone back to their usual routine, but what about his boss?

On the outside she smiles and talk to everyone like normal, but what about on the inside?

For how long will she keep her heart paralyze?

As he thought this, Liu Shan couldn’t help but shiver. His furrow his brow and he looks up at the sky.

"Hm, the sun is still out and the wind is not strong, but why is it suddenly freezing cold?"

Just as he spoke his words, all the hair on his body stood on ends. He struggle a hard gulp and slowly turn around.

"..."

His jaw dropped to the ground and his eyes fell out of their sockets.

The person he was hoping to appear had appeared!! Oh God!!

Lu Tian did not bother with the assistant as he kept his eyes on his wife’s running figure in the distance. Placing both hands inside his coat pocket, he sighs inside and walks around the bench to sit down.

Seeing his sudden movement, Liu Shan was even more dumbfounded. He swore his soul had left his body and was just now returning.

"Mr. Lu... I really tried. She wouldn’t listen."

Liu Shan tries to sugar coat his way as he did not hesitate to sell out his boss. However, he didn’t forget to apologize inside.

’Boss! I told you!! Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao will appear!’

Lu Tian does not answer Liu Shan, but he nod his head. Whether it was to tell the assistant he understood or whether it was a gesture in greeting, Liu Shan will never know.

However, it didn’t take long before he part his lips to speak.

"Lu Tian."

Liu Shan furrow his brows as he did not understand why Lu Tian would suddenly say his name. However, quickly understanding, his mouth open into a wide O and he slowly turn to look at the aloof man.

He (Lu Tian) is actually telling him (Liu Shan) to call him (Lu Tian) by name and not Mr. Lu.

Did he save a country in his past life? Why is he suddenly given this grand opportunity of friendliness by the worldly known ruthless man?

As Liu Shan became stupefied, Yue Ling’s figure comes running back towards him. However, the moment she saw Lu Tian casually sitting down next to her assistant, she abruptly stops in her steps.

Placing her hands behind her back, she slowly walks towards them. At the same time, she didn’t forget to look around like she had just come out for some fresh air.

"Wow! Today is such a beautiful day. The sun is out, the sky is clear, and birds are singing in joy."

Walking closer to the two men sitting on a bench, Yue Ling’s eyes widen in surprise and she gasp with one hand covering her mouth.

"Tian, I didn’t see you there. When did you get back?"

Lu Tian: "..."

Liu Shan: "..."

Lu Tian stares at his wife with heavy eyelids while Liu Shan couldn’t help but shake his head and slap his palm on his forehead.

Sometimes he (Liu Shan) really wants to sign his boss up for acting school. Maybe it will help her with her acting.

Lu Tian slowly stood up from the bench and he walks over to his wife. A smile curls on his lip that made one lost in a daze, but for Yue Ling, she could only shiver.

Lifting her hand, she fans herself and turns to leave.

"It’s suddenly too hot. I need to go back inside."

Just as she was about to turn around, Lu Tian was one step faster. He grabs her arms and swiftly positioned her in his arms in princess style.

"I need to go inside too, so let’s go together."

"..."

Yue Ling looks at him and force out a smile. She sarcastically chuckles and nods her head obediently to him.

During the past three days when he caught her running around the hospital, he literally lectured her to the point she thought her ears were going to bleed.

Knowing she can’t refute him, she place her arms around his neck and let’s him carry her back inside.
