Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Lu Tian’s white Aston Martin vanquish parks in front of a building. He stepped out of the car and walks over to the passenger side to help his pregnant wife.

Opening the door, he held his hand out as Yue Ling place her’s on it. Stepping out of the car, she felt a sudden small sensation in her heart. Her head turn to the west and a gust of wind gently brush against her.

”What’s wrong?”

Seeing his wife looking towards the street, he couldn’t help but ask curiously. He looks to the street, but did not see anything out of place. Just people walking on the other side of the sidewalk and cars driving pass.

Yue Ling stayed in silence for a minute. She furrow her brows as she swore she heard her brother’s voice....

Could she have over thought it?

However, she didn’t see Jingxu anywhere in sight. Shaking her head, she turns to look at the man standing beside her. The voice that called for her must have been her imagination only.

”It’s nothing.”

Turning to look at the tall building in front of her, she quietly gasp in surprise.

The building was in an abstract structure, with windows of all sizes. It’s beauty did not look like any ordinary building at all.

”What is this place?”

”A friend of mine owns this place.”

Lu Tian answers nonchalantly. He close the door to his car and hands the key to the valet driver. Of course, he made sure to take hold of his wife’s hand. He guides her to the door entrance of the building and both figures enters through.

Upon entering, Yue Ling was even more amazed. She stare at the many levels of shopping stores, however, only a few people were in sight.

Seeing this, she was slightly confused and looks at Lu Tian with questioning eyes.

”Tian, seriously. What is this place?”

Lu Tian didn’t look at his wife and continue to walk in the direction of the elevator.

”It’s a shopping mall.”

Hearing this, Yue Ling was dumbfounded. She looked in every direction possible. She had seen all the stores, but how can this huge place be called a shopping center? It should be called a city! Well, a city would be too extravagant.

Entering the elevator, Yue Ling had to admit, who ever designed this place was truly a master craftsman.

The glass elevator allowed one to get a clear view of each level passing. Not only each level, but the many windows surrounding the building gave a perfect view of outside.

*Ding*

The elevator bell rang as they arrived on the highest floor and the door slides open. Lu Tian stepped out with his wife following behind him. Slowing his pace, he made sure their figures were walking side by side.

It didnt take long before they arrived in front a store. It’s glass features were even more amazing with the mannequins in display nicely styled. Looking at it, Yue Ling couldn’t help but smile.

It was her De L’amour....

Looking at it, she is very proud of her assistant.

Liu Shan had once mentioned to her in the past that he will set up her stores in the most beautiful and known places in the world. Never did she think, he would put one of her stores here.

She should really give the man a raise for being the perfect assistant.

Seeing the smile on her face, Lu Tian was truly pleased. He knows that his wife is the owner and creator of the brand De L’amour, but she doesn’t know that he knows.

Even stranger, that his old mother is a huge fan of De L’amour too.

Pretending to not notice his wife’s smile, he clears his throat and asks her.

”Do you want to take a look around?”

Hearing this, Yue Ling look at Lu Tian and her eyes glistening with happiness. She nods her head and smiles widely with her teeth showing.

She has stores all over the world, but never once has she step foot into one. It was always her design team that was sent to handle the business.

Like a little girl at a theme park, Yue Ling takes the lead and drags Lu Tian into the store.

”Yue Ling.”

Before they could enter the store, Lu Tian spoke from behind, he chuckles at his wife’s childlike expression and gently stops her.

”Be careful, don’t forget you are pregnant.”

”...”

Now walking behind, Yue Ling was struck dumbfounded. She stare with heavy eyes at the man now walking in front of her.

Be careful?

Don’t forget that she is pregnant?

What does her pregnancy have anything to do with her excitement?

She scoff in sarcastic and allows Lu Tian to lead the way into the store.

However, when they were a few feet away from the store entrance, Lu Tian suddenly stops. He pout his lip and turns around to look at his wife.

Also stopping, Yue Ling tilt her head and look up at the man. She doesn’t know why, but Lu Tian often likes to stop when they’re about to arrive somewhere.

Was he afraid that others will see him with her? Is it that embarrassing to be seen with her?

Her head lower and she looks at her choice of clothes.

She had wore a plain pleaded grey turtle neck sweater. It was huge in oversized to her mid thighs. Covering her legs were a pair of distressed boyfriend jeans that folded into ankle jeans. Covering her feet was a pair of black pointed toe heels.

With her outfit picked, she had decided to tie her long black hair into a loose low bun with strands of hair framing her face.

Seeing how she was dressed, she pout her lip. Nothing was wrong with her choice of clothes.

However, when she looked up at the window of the glass door. She even more dumbfounded.

Lu Tian was wearing an expensive all black slim suit with his black coat over. He looked highly elegant and professional. Given his blessed good looks, nothing was wrong with the way he looked.

Except, the her at this moment standing beside the man was the complete opposite.

If one word was to describe her, she’d say she looked rather like a bum in the streets.....

She couldnt help but sigh at the way they looked. It was a no wonder the man had stopped and not enter through the doors.

Truly embarrassing to be seen walking around with a homeless person.

Knowing what his wife was thinking, Lu Tian chuckle and he gently tap her on the forehead.

”You look fine.”

”...”

Looking at the man, Yue Ling was even more confused. She gently caress her forehead to get rid of no pain. A frown cross her face.

”Then why did you stop?”

Lu Tian smiles a chuckle. He free hand reach into the pocket of his coat and takes out what looked to be a black cloth. Handing it to his wife he spoke.

”Wouldn’t it be bad if others see you? You were a famous model.”

”...”

Yue Ling stare at the mask and she felt her high EQ and IQ had suddenly dropped. She sighed and takes the mask from Lu Tian’s hand.

”It’s more like you NEED the mask.”

She glares at it then place the mask back on Lu Tian’s hand and smiles to him.

”I like to walk the earth freely like everyone else.”

”...”

This time Lu Tian was the one dumbfounded. He had prepare a mask in advance because he wasn’t sure if his wife would be alright walking in public. He did this thinking that since she didn’t want anyone knowing about her identity as the owner and creator of De L’amour, maybe every time she visits the store, she would wear a mask.

Yet, everything turned out different from what he had thought.

Looking down at the mask in his hand, he freely puts it away. He didn’t care if his wife was seen, as long as he is able to walk freely by her side.

Ignoring the situation they were in, Lu Tian kisses his wife on the forehead where he had flicked. Not waiting to see her reaction, he turns around and opens the door for his wife to enter.

Ahhhh, our poor Lu Tian, if only he knows that his wife has never once step foot into any of the many stores she owns.
