Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Standing in front of the bathroom door, Lu Tian was shirtless, showing his built upper body. His hand holding onto a towel as he dry his wet hair.

Looking at him, Yue Ling felt her heart stop. It has been such a long time since she last felt this nervous.

Did she space out? Didn’t Lu Tian just enter the bathroom? How long did she zoned out? When did he...

"Go to sleep, the sun is almost up."

Yue Ling swallow down the imaginary saliva in her throat at his words. Without realizing it herself, her look at this moment looked like someone who had committed a grave crime against the gods.

He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at the sight of her. Does he really look that mean? How come he’s never noticed it before? Should he try to change his appearance?

Shaking the thought away, he puts the towel away and closes the bedroom door. After switching the lights off, he naturally walks towards his side of the bed. Pulling the comforter, he lays down and puts it over himself and his wife. Doing so, he didn’t forget to kiss Yue Ling on the lip.

When his head touched the comfort of the pillow, he closed his eyes and turn to slumber.

"....."

Watching all this unfold, Yue Ling was even more dumbfounded. She turn to look down at the man and tries to comprehend everything.

Why didn’t Lu Tian ask her about what happened at Retro?

Is he so angry that he doesn’t want to talk to her?

How can he go to sleep like this?

As Yue Ling continue to think of all the chaotic thoughts in her head, she did not notice the tiny movement of the man sleeping beside her.

Due to the light being turned off and only faint light in the room from the almost rising sun, a charming smile was on Lu Tian’s face. He turn to his side facing her and wrap his arm around her waist, pulling her gently down on to the bed.

"Sleep."

Feeling the strong arm around her, Yue Ling felt even more chaotic. Her cheek burned up with a mixture of her confused in her mind.

"Tian?"

"Mm."

"There’s nothing that you want to ask me?"

"Mm."

"Tian, are you listening? I’m being serious here."

"Mm mm."

"Tian, about what happened back there, I..."

"Go to sleep."

"....."

Yue Ling laid in Lu Tian’s embrace not knowing what to say or even do anymore. As a person with high EQ and IQ, she felt like a person with not brain. Does he not want to know about why she was at Retro?

Calming herself by taking a deep breath, she wiggles her way and turn to face Lu Tian. She doesn’t know how she’s going to tell him, but she has to try even if he’ll think of her as a bad person.

"Tian, I’m—"

Trying to explain herself, she was quickly stopped by Lu Tian. Her bluish green eyes suddenly met his dark eyes and she couldn’t help but shrink into the bed mattress.

Lu Tian stare down at his wife. Even if he didn’t say a word, his expression was enough to answer whatever was in her mind.

Yue Ling felt the chaotic feeling inside her heart vanish into thin air. She lift one hand and touch the side of his face with her palm.

"Tian, I am the—"

Lu Tian’s lips suddenly cover hers. His hand place over her hand before he pulls away from her. Holding her hand, he moves it to his lip and kisses it.

"I don’t care about who you are or who you were."

He stare into her eyes and move her hand to the skin of his body over his heart.

"All I care is that you are you and you are the only woman in my heart."

Yue Ling’s entire being soften at his words. She could feel her heart tighten like someone had squeezed it. Except, this feeling she has isn’t one of pain, but one of love that keeps growing more and more.

"Tian..."

"It’s alright."

Lu Tian interrupts her and his arm wrap around her once again. He pulls her slender body closer to him as if he was kneading her into one with him.

"If you’re not ready to tell me, I will not force you. Until you are ready, I will wait."

Which is the truth. He wants her to tell him because she trusts him enough. Not because she has to after what happened.

Yue Ling’s eyes tears up hearing Lu Tian’s words. She hugs him at the waist and buries her face in his chest.

How is she so fortunate to meet someone like Lu Tian?

"Don’t think too much. The sun is almost up, get some rest."

Lu Tian spoke as he rest his head against his wife’s and he close his eyes. He knows that she is tired, especially when she is pregnant and barely slept.

"I’m not tired.."

Yue Ling pout her lip and moves her head to look at him. She isn’t sleepy tired, only exhausted tired.

Opening his eyes, Lu Tian arch a brow while looking down at his wife.

The faint natural lighting inside the room wasn’t much, but it was enough to enhance the look of his wife. Like a fairy in a dark forest drawing him in her spell.

Suddenly, the more he looks at her, the more he felt the sudden urge to have her. For the past few days he has been trying very hard to not let his list for her get the better of him.. but....

How can he not want her? She is safely in his arms and she is the woman he loves and cherish. Only she is able to make him feel this way.

Remembering something, one end of his lip curl

upward and he lower his head to capture her lips.

"Mm!"

Not expecting the sudden kiss, Yue Ling’s eyes widen in shock and surprise. His lips slowly move from her lips and trace every outline of her face down to her neck before it stops at her lips again.

The more Yue Ling’s mind lost in wonder, the deeper Lu Tian turned their kiss into wonder. It didn’t take long before the quiet room is replaced with the faint gasping breaths from the couple.
