Unexpected Second Chance at Love

After Ye Zhongwei left Jade Condos, Yue Ling and Lu Tian ate their breakfast in ease. Due to both individuals not having to go to work, they decided to take Inu to see the new house.

Through the busy streets, they quickly arrive at the new house.

In the car, Inu’s tail wag from side to side in excitement. The moment Lu Tian opened the driver door and stepped out, Inu also jumped out. He race around the yard like he was finally free.

”Inu! Wait!”

Yue Ling calls out to him as she steps out from the passenger side. She was worried and afraid that Inu might get lost since it was a new place for the little guy.

”He’ll be fine. The place is gated all around.”

Lu Tian reassures her as he helps her get out of the car. He turns to look in the direction Inu had gone and a faint smile curl on his lip.

”The little guy needs to get familiar with the new place.”

Moving from the door, Yue Ling narrow her eyes at the man now closing the car door. Remembering something, she smiles.

”I heard what you said to Ye Zhongwei. I never thought you would refer Inu as your oldest son.”

Lu Tian looks at her with a calm expression, but one can see his cheeks turn pink. He clears his throat and reach down for his wife’s hand.

”His temper fits enough to be my son. Don’t you think so?”

”…”

Yue Ling was tongue tied by him. She scoff a chuckle and shook her head. She can see the resemblance between the man and Samoyed.

*Ring ring*

The moment they arrived at the front door and Lu Tian touched the door handle, Yue Ling’s phone rang. She takes her phone out and checks the caller.

”It’s Liu Shan.”

”Mm. Go ahead and answer.”

Lu Tian gently caress her cheek and open the door. As they entered, he looks at the empty place and decided he will have his people set up furnitures as soon as possible. That way, they can move in right after.

Watching his back, Yue Ling smiles as she could still feel his touch on her cheek. She looks down at her phone and answers the call.

”Hello?”

[”Boss, it’s me! Are you alright?! Lin Hui told me everything! I’m so sorry I was not there! Please forgive me!”]

Hearing her assistant’s voice full of worry, Yue Ling sighed inside. She knows that her subordinates always worry for her when she is danger, especially Liu Shan. However, due to him knowing of her pregnancy, she can see why he worries.

”I’m alright. No harm came to me or baby.”

As their conversation continue, it also came to end. Yue Ling put her phone away and search for Lu Tian. However, he was not inside the house, but outside on the back-patio deck.

Stepping outside to join him, she sees a tiny Inu running in the far distance. His entire being looked like a free soul wondering the world in pure happiness.

Shifting her gaze to the man, she used the time to admire him. She couldn’t help but sigh inside.

He is truly lovely. To think, such a man will become her husband and father of their child. It’s like a dream to have him as her beloved and hers alone.

As her thoughts wonder, she slowly makes her way to him. Her steps were quiet and steady, but Lu Tian heard her footsteps.

A small smile curl on his lip and he turns to see her. However, before he could even turn around, her arms slid pass his waist and wraps around him with the side of her head rested on his back in silence.

He sighs a small smile and place his larger hand over her small hands.

”What is it?”

Yue Ling shook her head and inhales his manly scent with a wide smile.

”It’s nothing. We just wanted to hug you.”

Listening to the way her angelic voice spoke those words, Lu Tian’s entire being softens. He slowly shift his position to face her and pulls her into a gentle embrace. His chin rested on top of her head and he felt complete.

”What did Liu Shan say?”

Yue Ling moves her head to look up at the man. Her arms hugs his waist and she smiles.

”Liu Shan is coming here. I hope you don’t mind.”

He sounds a ’mm’ and slowly shifts their position again. This time, he held her from behind as they stare out to the view from the patio deck. Remembering something, he part his lips to speak.

”The house is still empty. I’ll have furnitures put in soon. Is there a specific style you like?”

She tilt her head and thought for a moment. Coming to a decision, she rest her head against his chest.

”I’ll have Liu Shan send a list to Xu Long.”

As the couple enjoyed the view, Inu was having the time of his life. The gate that Lu Tian mentioned only surrounded the outer premises, thus this gave Inu the advantage to run around the giant house in sprinting circles. However, due to the rain, the grass was still wet, but he made sure not to get any dirt on his silky white fur.

Morning quickly pass as the afternoon sun rose into the sky. Unlike the day before, today’s sun was warmer and makes one want to go out for a walk.

*Ding Ding*

The doorbell rang and the couple’s peaceful retreat came to an end.

”I’ll get it.”

Lu Tian faintly smiles and kiss the temple of her head. He pulls away from her and head inside the house.

Entering the house, Lu Tian did not think much since his wife said Liu Shan was coming over. However, as he near the front door, he hears voices from outside and the space between his brows crease into three lines.
