Unexpected Second Chance at Love

By nightfall, Yue Ling was quickly discharged from Imperial Military Hospital. Doctor Dong was reluctant in letting her leave, but it was Lu Tian’s request along with Grandfather Ji and the Lu family.

He knows that Yue Ling may appear to be recovering quicker than most patients and doing fine, but he also knows that she is mentally hiding her pain.

However, Lu Tian is right.

After what she went through, it was best to have her stay at home where it is more comfortable. That way she can recover physically and mentally.

In the far distance of the hospital, Lu Tian’s black Maserati Levante Trofeo pulls up through the gate to their home.

Yue Ling had her head turned to the window but when something outside suddenly caught her attention, her brows arch up.

”Eh? Why is Liu Shan here? Lin Hui and Qi Li too.”

Parked in front of her house on the driveway was Liu Shan’s black car along with Lin Hui and Qi Li’s motorcycles.

Weren’t they supposed to be searching for Chu Li Xiang? If so, why are they here?

”I asked them to do the search here with Xu Long.”

Lu Tian spoke from the driver side as he parks the car then turns the engine off.

”It’ll be easier since you can’t leave the house.”

Not waiting to see her reaction or hear her refuting words, he opens the door and steps out. Walking over to the passenger side, he opens the door and reach down to pick up his wife.

”Wait!”

Yue Ling quickly reacts and stops the man. Both her palms press against his chest to make sure he doesn’t move closer.

”Can I least have some dignity here?”

She looks at him with a face of pleading. How can he want to carry her inside the house when her subordinates are inside?

The infamous leader of Fate being carried in front of her subordinates.

What will they think about her?

How will they see her?

As she lost herself in her own thoughts, Lu Tian ignores her words and take the opportunity to leisurely picks her up.

Carrying her to the door, he gently place her down and turns to unlock the door. The second her feet touched the hard ground, Yue Ling finally came to her senses again. However, she was struck dumbfounded.

How did he carry her here without her realizing?

What happened to her asking for some dignity?

She cast him a glare and cross her arms over her chest.

”Tian.”

Unlocking the door, Lu Tian had his back turned to her. He answers her with a calm ’mm’ but on his lip was a wide grin.

Even he was surprised at how engrossed she was in her thoughts.

Pushing the door open, he turns to look at her. However, the smile on his face was no longer there and he turned back to his indifferent expression.

”You can have your dignity now.”

”…”

Yue Ling’s eyelids quickly turned heavy when she heard his words. However, wanting to maintain the last bit of dignity in her, she rolled her eyes at him and strides inside the house with a faint hmmf.

Eyes on her every move, Lu Tian lightly shook his head. A very tiny smile curls on his lip as he follows in after her.

Inside the living room, what was once an empty room with only two simple couches and a glass coffee table was now filled with computer equipment.

Liu Shan laid on the ground with his laptop while Lin Hui laid lazily on one couch with his eyes closed. However, one can see his foot lightly tapping in the air like was singing to himself.

On the other couch, Qi Li sat near Xu Long as both men focus on a computer screen.

Seeing the four men look so comfortable, Yue Ling arch her brow. If this wasn’t her and Lu Tian’s house, she would have thought the four of them were roommates living here.

Lin Hui’s ear slightly twitch when he hears the faintness of footsteps. His eyes slowly opens, and he sit ups.

”Boss!”

Surprise in seeing Yue Ling, he couldn’t help but gasp his word. His loud voice caused the other three men to look in his direction then to the front door.

Each person quickly stood up to welcome her home.

Yue Ling nods her head in greeting, then she looks around in search of a certain someone.

”Where’s Inu?”

Hearing her question, all four men froze before glancing at one another. Their mouths did not move but their eyes said otherwise.

It was if they were communicating with their eyes in saying, ’You tell her’ or ’no, you tell her.’

”Speak.”

As the four men immerse in a nonverbal communication, Lu Tian’s deep voice sounds to them.

When they heard him, it was like someone had opened the window and allow a cold blizzard to enter the living room.

However, Liu Shan, Lin Hui and Qi Li all glance at Xu Long. Their eyes thought the same thing.

’Your boss, your answer.’

Seeing that it was three against one, Xu Long wanted to cry but lack the tears to shed.

Where are Jiangyu, Yiqing and everyone else from Wolf Team when he needs them?

Taking a deep breath, he pretends to be a winner on the outside despite crying on the inside.

”We… We had to put him over here.”

Walking towards the stairs, he leads the way for the couple as Lin Hui, Liu Shan and Qi Li followed behind. However, despite their courageous demeanor against their enemies, the three of them at this moment stuck closely in a line behind Yue Ling.

”Why did you guys leave him up here?”

Oblivious to her three subordinates, Yue Ling asks as she walks behind Lu Tian who is following Xu Long.

Hearing her question, Liu Shan heaves a sigh and he shook his head.

”Boss, we really didn’t mean to, but…”

Remembering something, he couldn’t help but shiver in fear.

”That little fella nearly killed us like we were some kind of intruders.”

Listening to his words, Lin Hui and Qi Li nod their head as they remember what happened, while Xu Long who was leading the group shiver like he was having a seizure.

Yue Ling furrow her brows as she was skeptical about her assistant’s words. She has never seen Inu give anyone a hard time unless it was an enemy.

Just as she wanted to say something, the faint sound of howling can be heard as they reach the second floor.

”Ooowwoooooo—”

Stopping in his steps, Xu Long doesn’t dare to go any further. He swallow with difficulty and points to the door leading to an empty room.

”He’s in there.”

Yue Ling didn’t think much and walks over to the room. She could still hear Inu howling inside the room, so she slowly opens the door.

Inside, Inu’s white fluffy figure laid in the middle of the empty room as he howls in the saddest way ever. He looked so lonely like an abandoned child.

”Ooowwwwooooo—”

His head tilts back as he howls sadly to the ceiling and then he falls to the side.

”Owwooooo—”

Standing by the door, Yue Ling didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at her partner in crime. Unlike his usual majestic being, the him at this moment was singing his heart out.

Even Lu Tian didn’t know how to feel at this moment. He never thought the Samoyed had this side to him.

Behind the two, the four men couldn’t help but poke their head in to take a look at the Samoyed. However, seeing him so sad, all four of them felt guilty for locking him inside the room.

”Ahem.”

Yue Ling clears her throat to get Inu’s attention, which she did. He abruptly sat up with a little bit of trouble as he looks at her with glistening eyes.

”Wroof—!!”’Mommy, I thought you abandoned me!’

However, that quick excitement quickly disappears when he saw the four men.

”Grrr—”’You peasants!!’

He growls viciously at them and lunges in their direction like a wild dog on the loose.

”Wroof— Wroof—”’Revenge time!’

”Ahhh!!!”

Liu Shan, Lin Hui, Xu Long and Qi Li all screamed in horror at the same time. Each person wanted to run, but it was like someone had glue their feet to the floor.

”Inu.”

Lu Tian’s deep voice sounds as it stops Inu from chasing the four men away. He walks over to the Samoyed with his wife.

Walking up to the little guy, Yue Ling chuckles and she squats down to hug the little guy. However, the moment she felt his soft fur, she tightens her hold around him, and closed her eyes.

”I missed you so much...”

Feeling her touch on him, Inu’s tail wagged side to side as he rubs his head against hers. However, he didn’t forget to constantly send a glare to the four men.

The expression on his face was as if saying,

’Just you wait. I will get my revenge.’
