Unexpected Second Chance at Love

——-

Rays of light beam it’s way into penthouse 1503. Yue Ling slowly open her eyes and stretch her arms and legs.

"Hmm~!"

Sitting up, she glance at the empty spot next to her. Surprisingly to her, last night the shameless man had not eaten her tofu till sunrise. He actually allowed her to sleep. Moving the comforter, she makes her way to the bathroom.

Finished washing up, she puts on a T-shirt dress. Wrapping a shawl around her body, she goes into the kitchen to make breakfast. However, the sound of sizzling and a delicious aroma enters her five senses.

She frowns, ’Hm? Didn’t he leave?’

Stepping into the kitchen, she sees the broad back of Lu Tian. He stood like an expert chef in front of the stove. Only thing different was, he had a shirt on this time.

Seeing him struggling with the spatula in his left hand, she finally remembers something. Running to him, she reach her hands out.

"Wait! Let me cook!"

Lu Tian turns to the sleeping beauty who’s now awake. He looks at her, then at the spatula in his hand. His mind pondering in thoughts. Thinking of something, he moves his hand and hides the spatula behind him.

"You’re awake. Good morning."

"..."

Yue Ling stare at the man dumbfounded. Did he really think he was slick? She knows he’s having a hard time cooking breakfast and he had heard her. Yet, he still tries to hide the spatula?

She sighs, "Tian, give me the spatula."

Lu Tian: "I can cook."

Yue Ling: "Give me the spatula."

Lu Tian: "It’s not a big deal to cook."

Yue Ling: "Give me the spatula."

Lu Tian: "Give me a kiss first."

Yue Ling: "....."

Hearing his words, Yue Ling’s cheeks flush red. She really doesn’t know what to do now. She was worried about his wounded hand, but who would have thought she’d fall into his shameless and childish trick!

Taking a deep breath, she pinch the space between her brows, "Fine. Will you give me the spatula then?"

Lu Tian pretends to think at her question. Did he care if he was being childish? Of course not! If it’s to get his wife’s attention, he will be anything for her! After thoroughly thinking, he nod his head.

"Mm."

Taking a step forward, Yue Ling locks her eyes attentively at Lu Tian. She raise her left hand and grabs his nape. Using a little strength, she pulls him lower and her lip press against his.

At the same time, Lu Tian’s lips curl upwards into a satisfy smile. Yue Ling quickly snatch the spatula and pulls away. She scoffs at him sarcastically, like she was unsatisfied.

"Go sit down."

"Mm. Mm."

Lu Tian smiles widely like an idiot and obliged to his wife’s command. A morning kiss from her was the best. However, he didn’t go sit, instead he puts on a windbreaker jacket.

Inu’s ears perk up when he heard the shuffle of Lu Tian’s windbreaker. He gets up and looks at the evil peasant. Turning his head, he walks to the front door and sits.

Walking to the counter, Lu Tian grabs the dog leash. When his eyes landed on Inu, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. The enemy was actually compromising very well with him. Is it because Yue Ling is here?

Of course, Inu had to compromise. His mommy is here and he needed to go handle his business.

"Wroof! Wroof!"

’Hurry up you peasant! This noble king needs to go use the bathroom!’

Lu Tian shakes his head and takes Inu out. From the kitchen, Yue Ling tries to hold in her laugh. She can’t help but imagine Inu as a human kid and both he and Lu Tian clashing heads together.

What a scene that would be?!

Shaking her head, she continues to cook.

—————

When the time reached 7:30am, Yue Ling and Lu Tian had already finished their breakfast and got themselves ready for work.

Yue Ling wore a white turtle neck sweater and tuck the front slightly in her black faux leather pencil skirt. Her makeup was light and she let her wavy hair loose.

She walks out of the closet room. Her black trench coat and LV tote in one hand, while her black Christian Louboutin in the other hand.

"Need help?"

She asks as she steps into the living room. Lu Tian at this moment was struggling to fix his necktie. He looks at his beautiful wife and pout his lips. Then he nod his head.

His expression looked like a genius elementary kid who couldn’t solve a problem and reluctantly asks for help.

Yue Ling chuckles inside and sets her things on the couch. She reach over and starts fixing his tie. As she fix his necktie, Lu Tian couldn’t help but sigh at the way his wife looks. She was indeed too breath taking. Remembering Xu Long mention she was a supermodel, he felt annoyed in his heart. Just how many men has seen his wife’s face? Then again, remembering that she retired from the modeling industry, he felt slightly better. There won’t be any noisy buzzing bees around his wife. Right?

"All done."

Yue Ling smiles and trace the tip of her fingers on Lu Tian’s neck tie. Then she takes a step back. Turning to get her things, she sees Lu Tian’s black suit jacket laying next to hers. She naturally picks it up.

"Here, I’ll help you put it on."

"Mm."

Lu Tian looks at her and he can’t but feel like he is on cloud nine. She isn’t his wife yet, but the them at this moment looked like real husband and wife. He turn and slip his arms into the sleeves of his suit jacket.

Putting it on, Yue Ling takes a few steps to stand in front of Lu Tian and fix the collar of his suit. She smiles in satisfaction before she puts her Christian Louboutins on, then her trench coat. As she did so, Lu Tian was in awe. He will never get enough of her.

Once Yue Ling was ready to leave, she hugs and kiss her baby, then she and Lu Tian leaves the penthouse.

Inu watched the two peasants leave and he sighs. Here’s to another day of waiting for his mommy.

———-

Stepping out of the elevator, Yue Ling and Lu Tian looks at the front desk. Neither of them were aware they had done the same thing at the same time.

"Good morning!"

A cheerful voice sounds from the desk and a young girl in her twenties stands up. She bows and greets the couple.

Yue Ling stare at the girl. She smiles a polite smile at the girl, "Good morning."

Her heart felt heavy, thinking how it’s not Ting but someone else...

From her side, Lu Tian nod his head. However he didn’t care about the girl. When he looked at the desk, it was the desk that he looked at. To him, the only woman he wants and will look at is his wife. Of course, there’s his mother too, but she doesn’t count.

Gently, he place his hand on Yue Ling’s back.

"We’re going to be late."

His tone was his usual cold and indifferent voice, but to the girl, Lu Tian sounded like a caring husband.

"Haaaa—"

She sighs when Yue Ling and Lu Tian’s figures disappears out the door.

"Haaaaaah!!!"

Just when she sat down, she sucks in a mouthful of air. Both her hands cover her mouth and her eyes widen.

How could she be so slow and stupid?! The beautiful woman and the handsome man weren’t just anyone! They were actually the highly well known supermodel, Han Yue Ling and China’s most eligible bachelor, Lu Tian!

She grabs her phone and opens her WeChat to make a post, however....

"Haaaah....."

She puts her phone down and sigh again. Manager Luo had specifically said everything that goes on in Jade Condos is confidential. He doesn’t want his guests’ personal lives to be known to the world.

Just how big of a shocking news this would this be? The supermodel Han Yue Ling and the bachelor Lu Tian are no longer on the available chart!

How many men and women would be heartbroken?

Even sadder, she can’t tell anyone....

———-

"Give me your phone."

Lu Tian stretch his hand out the moment they arrived at their cars and ask for Yue Ling’s phone.

"...."

Yue Ling stare confusedly at him, then she gets her phone in her bag and hands it to Lu Tian.

"Why do you need my phone?"

Lu Tian didn’t answer. He works his fingers on her phone then his. After he was done, he hands it back to her. He ignores Yue Ling’s confused look and kiss her lips.

"Come to my workplace for lunch."

"....."

Yue Ling blinked her eyes at Lu Tian. Lunch? Will their schedule even fit? She looks at him, then she frowns.

"Do I have to?"

Lu Tian smiles and sneakingly kiss his wife’s lips again.

"If you want to see your airport bags alive, I think you will."

"...."

Yue Ling’s eyes widen and her mind went blank for a second. Her luggage and bag that had went missing were actually in his hands this whole time?!

Her chest heave up and down. He didn’t say anything until now?! Does he not know that he stole her things?!

"Tian, how can you—"

Before she could finish, Lu Tian’s lips captures hers again. He moves away and pecks her forehead.

"I’ll see you at lunch."

Ignoring her blushing and angry look, he strides to his car.

"...."

Yue Ling stood rooted to the ground. She could not put everything that just happened together. Unknowingly to her, Lu Tian had already got inside his car and drove towards the exit of the parking garage.

*ring ring*

Looking down at her phone, she was even more dumbfounded. Lu Tian had actually saved his number into her phone. Not only that, he saved himself under ’Darling, Tian’. Ignoring the name, she answers.

Yue Ling: "Tian."

Li Tian: "If you keep standing there, you’re going to be late for work."

Yue Ling: "Y-You—"

She moves her phone from her ear and glance at the time on her phone and her eyes widen more! She was going to be late! Not caring about the man she quickly hangs up and dash into her car.

Her mind forgetting that Lu Tian had kissed her three times. She at this moment is focused on getting to work on time!

In Lu Tian’s Audi R8, he chuckles in thought of his wife. He didn’t mean to leave her, but if he stayed any longer with her, he’ll not want to part from her.

Remembering how he told her to come to his workplace for lunch, he sighs. He actually wanted to pick her up from De L’amour and take her out to lunch, but he couldn’t. If he did, she will know that he knows she’s is the CEO of both De L’amour and An Qing.

So for now, he’ll wait until she personally tells him, since she hasn’t told him much about her new career.
