Unexpected Second Chance at Love

While the guests of the nightclub Spring continue on with their night in laughter and enjoying a good time, no one was aware of the situation inside one of the private rooms on the second floor.

”I’m quite shaken to see that the infamous Lu Tian is actually here in Spring. It seems the rumors of you being germ freak is false.”

Although he was terrified out of his wits, Wei Hongyi found the courage to speak like he was fine. However, he only found this courage because he believes that Lu Tian will not kill him. Maybe leave him with a few broken bones, but that should be all.

Once Lu Tian leaves, he will have Nie Chen seek out revenge.

Lu Tian calmly sat in the seat across from Wei Hongyi. His eyes slowly flutter and one corner of his lip curls up.

”You know should know why I am here.”

He could see fear written all over Wei Hongyi’s face, but he finds this interesting. It’s been a long while since someone, excluding his wife, dares to speak this way to him.

All the colors on Wei Hongyi’s face pale as white as a sheet of paper. Lu Tian had only spoke a few simple words, but it was enough to make him feel like he was being suffocated.

”I… I don’t know what you are talking about. I haven’t done anything and don’t know why you are here.”

His words fell like he was speaking the truth, but Lu Tian, Ye Zhongwei and Zhi Yifan saw the cowardly side of him.

Since he wants to play dumb then Ye Zhongwei decides to help him. He gasps and covers his mouth as he stare with wide eyes at Wei Hongyi.

”Mr. Wei, what happened to you? Why does your face look like that?”

Wei Hongyi froze in the chair at the sudden questions thrown his way. His mouth opens and closes to speak, but nothing seem to come out. How could he have forgot about his current appearance?

”He was in a car accident.”

From the side, Xu You answers with a crooked smile. He didn’t want to be rude, but as a good friend of Wei Hongyi’s, he could only do his best to help the man out. If they see him as no threat, they will let him go.

”Ah, I see. So that is what happened.”

Ye Zhongwei nods his head a few times like he understood. However, his hand raises, and he stroke his chin like he had a long white beard.

”But from a doctor’s perspective, those bruises seem to have been done by a person.”

He leans forward and both his elbow rest near his knees as he entwine his fingers together. Eyes on the man with a bruised face, he smiles with his straight white teeth.

”Or could it be that I am wrong?”

Hearing his words, not only was Wei Hongyi struck dumbfounded, but so were Xu You, Gao Lan and other two men.

Wei Hongyi had said he got the bruises from a car accident. However, Ye Zhongwei is a famous doctor in Imperial. He wouldn’t just lie about anything. So could it be that he (Wei Hongyi) was beaten up?

”I… I…”

Staring at the doctor, Wei Hongyi was only able to stammer out one word as everything stuck at his throat. How can he possibly answer the questions?

If he answers yes, he will lose face as everyone will know he was beaten up by a woman. However, if he answers no, that means he is lying to three of Imperial’s highly respectable people.

Feeling his face turn red, he clench his fists tightly. The first time he was humiliated in front of his friends was when Zhao Ya’Er broke up with him and now, he is being looked down by her cousin.

”I have my rights not to answer. What is it that you guys want? If it is within my powers, I will do what I can to help.”

Lu Tian arch a brow and his head tilts slightly to the side like Wei Hongyi’s words had interested him.

”You want to help?”

He leans back on the chair and cross one leg over the other in a four figure.

”Then answer this, do you like to abuse those weaker than you?”

His eyes slowly blink, but never once did he take his eyes off of the man.

”Per se, my cousin.”

Everyone else in the room fell into a cold silence except for Ye Zhongwei and Zhi Yifan. The two men turn their head to look at Wei Hongyi. However, one can see the murderous look in their eyes.

They were not notified of the reason until they were on the way to Spring. For them, Zhao Ya’Er was like a little sister as they all grew up together. Anyone who dares to hurt her not only has to deal with Lu Tian and Lu Han, but also them.

Wei Hongyi stares in silence at Lu Tian then to the other two men. What he had hoped not to be the reason for Lu Tian’s sudden appearance was now reality.

However, since he (Lu Tian) already knows, there was no need for him (Wei Hongyi) to hide anymore.

He leans back on his chair lazily and a sneer curls on his lip.

”I thought the cold and ruthless Lu Tian is not one to beat around the bush. Why don’t we just get to the point since you already know?”

Gao Lan, Xu You and the other two men were stupefied by their friend’s words. They could not believe that Wei Hongyi would actually dare to speak in such a manner to Lu Tian.

”Hongyi, what are you—”

Before Gao Lan could finish the words ’planning to do’, Wei Hongyi sends him a glare to shut his mouth. He (Wei Hongyi) scoffs and looks back at Lu Tian.

He thought back to how Zhao Ya’Er coldly rejected him. Him, who has so many women lined up just to get in his bed. However, after so many years of wooing her, she never spread her legs for him.

”Your cousin, she is nothing but a— ugh.”

Wei Hongyi growls his words, but before he could finish his last word, something flew across the room and enters his mouth that caused him to choke on his words.

He coughs and coughs until he was able to spit out whatever it was. His head lowers down and when he saw what was in his hand, his face turned red from anger and humiliation.

His hand trembles and he looks up at Lu Tian who was sitting calmly across from him.

”You…”

Zhi Yifan kept a straight face, but one can see that he was holding back himself from laughing. However, unlike him, Ye Zhongwei did not care and laughs as his voice echoes inside the room.

”Wow, this is the first time I’ve seen this. Yifan, come on, laugh with me!”

Usually when it comes to silencing a person, Lu Tian will use a bullet, but this time, it was an artificial cherry from a mix drink on the table. The man had actually picked up the cherry and flicked it like he was flicking away a speck of dust.

”You are right. I am not one who likes to beat around the bush.”

Lu Tian spoke calmly as his eyes slowly blink. However, when that one blink opened his eyes again, only darkness can be seen in his pupils. Like two black holes ready to engulf the entire universe.

His head tilts slightly to the side and one corner of his lip arcs into a dangerous smirk.

”Did you really think you can escape once I found out?”
