Unexpected Second Chance at Love

”Miss Han, your massage is done.”

A massage therapist politely spoke as she takes a step away from the massage table. Yue Ling had already finished her facial massage and was now at the end of her one-hour body massage.

”Mm. Thank you, I feel a lot better now.”

Yue Ling doesn’t lift her head or move from her position and laid on the massage table. She was naked, but had a warm towel covering her lower body as she only requested for a back and shoulder massage.

The massage therapist smiles to herself. She is older than Yue Ling by five years but being given the chance to release the tensions from her favorite idol, she cannot be more than happier at this moment.

Maybe before Yue Ling leaves, she will ask for an autograph.

However, knowing that Yue Ling needed to get up, she steps out from the private room.

”Mm…”

Yue Ling gave a sigh full of bliss and sits up. Her arms stretch out as she felt as light as a feather.

Her massage therapist looked very mean, but she was a sweet and charming lady. She (massage therapist) was able to relieve the knots on her shoulders and neck. Not only that, Yue Ling can feel the improve circulations inside her and all the stress put on her body have disappeared making her feel like a whole new person.

It was no wonder Zhao Ya’Er, Madam Lu and Madam Zhao frequent come here. The relaxation of the massages are indeed good for the body.

Pulling the warm towel over her body, she steps down from the massage table. Grabbing the soft white robe hung against the wall, she puts it on and set the towel down.

She a held a peaceful smile and secures the belt around her waist. However, her brows slightly furrow, and she mumbles to herself.

”Hmm… I feel like I am forgetting something…”

Touching her chin, she rack her brain and tries to remember what she forgot. However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t remember at all.

Maybe it wasn’t important that’s why she couldn’t remember. Shrugging her shoulders, she glance at the wall clock in the room to check the time.

”Oh, it’s already 11:30am. Tian should be taking his... lunch… now…”

’Oh my God!!’

Her eyes widen and she finally realizes what she had forgotten. She had told Lu Tian she would call him when she gets here.

Her entire being struck in panic as she could already picture the aloof man’s sulking expression in her mind.

She frantically searches for her phone. However, remembering that she had left it in her bag inside the spa locker room, she rushes out of the room.

”Ah, Miss Han. The others are—”

”I’m sorry. I will be right back. I have to make a phone call.”

Zhou Jinglei was on her way to inform Yue Ling about her next appointment. When she saw the model step out from the room, she smiles happily as she was not late.

However, before she could finish her words, Yue Ling sped pass her and apologizes.

She (Zhou Jinglei) spins around and stares in a daze at Yue Ling’s departing figure. She couldn’t help but think to herself, ’Did something happen?’

Yue Ling increases her steps and began to jog her way to the spa locker room. Others might think she is overexaggerating, but knowing Lu Tian, the man will never let this go.

He might forgive her for forgetting to call him when she arrives, but if she makes him wait any longer, she will not know how to coax the man’s inner childish side.

Reaching the spa locker room, Yue Ling enters and heads straight for her locker that was in the back of the room. She punch in the key code and opens it to get her phone from her bag.

She was relieved when there was no missed calls or voicemail from him. However, she didn’t hesitate to press the man’s number and put the phone near her ear.

After two rings, the call connects through. However, she did not hear the man’s deep voice. The other line was in a complete silence making her feel like a peasant standing on trial in front of the heavenly emperor.

She swallow a hard and difficult gulp, before forcing a chuckle.

”Hello? Tian?”

[”…”]

All was quiet for twenty seconds before Lu Tian finally gave up, and answers her with a short mm.

Hearing him answer her, Yue Ling sighs in more relief. She knows he is partially angry with her but trying to play it cool as always.

”I’m sorry for not calling you when I arrived. You see, one thing led to another and I sort of... forgot.”

[”Mm.]

Her shoulders slouch hearing another mm. She sighs inside and walks over to the corner of the room. She sits down on the furthest of the three chaises that was setup for the spa resort’s guests.

”Are you on your lunch break? Did you buy something to eat?”

[”Mm.”]

”…”

Hearing his same answer as the other two, Yue Ling didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at this moment. For someone who can be so shameless, Lu Tian can be quite taciturn at times.

When she sees him at home, she will definitely need to make it up. As she doesn’t know how long his tantrum will last.

Just as she thought this, a bright idea pops up in her mind. Her eyes slightly narrow and a mischievous smile curls on her lip.

”Tian, I have something to tell you.”

[”Mm.”]

”I love you.”

[”…”]

Her sudden words fell, and the call went silent again. However, it only lasted for a quick seconds before Lu Tian’s deep voice sounds from the other line.

[”I love you more.”]

Yue Ling smiles and covers her mouth. She inaudibly giggles in happiness to herself. Her entire being at this moment looked like a high school girl who was talking on the phone with her crush for the first time.

She knows that it wasn’t fair for her to do this, but she meant every word. She really does love him.

”My massage was amazing. How was yours?”

”I only purchased the facial package, but I feel a lot younger now.”

As Yue Ling was giggling to herself on the phone with Lu Tian, the door to the spa room opens and two women chats loudly to each other.

Due to her locker being in the far back and she was sitting down, a row of lockers blocked her from view. She could not see who the women were, but her brows slightly furrow. For some reason she found one of the two women’s voice very familiar.

However, she shrugs it off and continues to talk on the phone with Lu Tian. Neither voices were Zhao Ya’Er, Madam Lu or Madam Zhao, so she didn’t need to pay any attention to the two women.

Outside the spa locker room, Zhao Ya’Er had just finished her massage. Wearing the same white robe as Yue Ling’s, she heads for the hot spring the spa is known for.

The plan was to get a facial and body massage then meet up so they can relax and soak in the hot springs together.

As the hot spring is a place not anyone can enter, she was on her way to meet with her spa attendant since she finished her massage early. Turning into a hallway, she was surprise to see the back figure of Zhou Jinglei.

Thinking Yue Ling was with the young woman, she walks over to join them. However, Yue Ling was nowhere in sight.

”Eh, Zhou Jinglei, where is Yue Ling?”

Zhou Jinglei’s shoulders jumped in fright at the sudden question. She turns around to see who it was and relief wash inside her.

”Miss Zhao. Miss Han went to the spa locker room. She said she needed to make a quick phone call and will be back, but she hasn’t returned.”
