Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Two bulky men clothe in a dark suit stood on guard of the front entrance. When they saw Lu Tian, both men approach his ostentatious car and greets him politely.

”Good evening, Mr. Lu.”

Lu Tian gestures an indifferent nod and walks towards the dark building that looked like it could blend in with the night sky if not for the light illuminating inside.

Near the entrance, Ye Zhongwei and Zhi Yifan were waiting for his arrival. When they saw their aloof friend approaching, each person not in greeting.

However, Ye Zhongwei caught sight of something and eyes widen as his jaw dropped to the ground beneath him.

He stares at Lu Tian then to the two bulky men before looking back at the man in disbelief.

”Wah, I have been wondering why the infamous Lu Tian gave me his Aston Martin without any care. It was because you already have another one.”

Lu Tian looks at his doctor friend and shrugs one shoulder as he places both his hands inside his coat pockets.

”The one I gave you is stock. This one is customed.”

”…”

Hearing this, Ye Zhongwei was even more dumbfounded. No wonder Lu Tian didn’t hesitate to give him the expensive car. It was one of his favorites, but not the one he spent time personally working on.

Zhi Yifan glance between the two men as they conversate. He hasn’t seen these two in a while due to work, but now that he has made an appearance, he didn’t understand what was going on.

However, being a smart man, he was quick to put two and two together.

He takes a step forward and stood between the two men. His hand raises and he faces his palm in front of Ye Zhongwei as his head turns to look at Lu Tian.

”I’ve known you longer than this imbecile and you didn’t give the car to me but him?”

Ye Zhongwei’s eyes turned heavy. He swore each time he blinked his eyes would only want to shut more and more.

He straightens his spine and smacks Zhi Yifan’s hand away from blocking his view.

”What do you mean you’ve known him longer? We were still kids in diapers. Your father just happened to get you to the Lu house before mine did.”

Zhi Yifan rolled his eyes and turn his head to look at the doctor. He slightly raises his chin and puts on a proud demeanor.

”So, I still knew him longer since I met him first.”

An argument soon broke out between the two men. Lu Tian’s expression remained calm and collect as usual, but deep inside, he was questioning his entire existence.

If he is known as someone who is cold and ruthless, why are the people around him the complete opposite?

He sighs inside and walks away from the two men to enter the dark building.

When he was on his way home from work, he had received a message from his wife informing him that she was going out with her workers.

He didn’t mind this and continued on with his way home. However, Ye Zhongwei and Zhi Yifan suddenly flooded his phone with messages and phone calls. The two men stated that he had to come here because of an emergency.

Home was where he wanted to be, but thinking that something might have happened, he decides to turn his car around and come here.

As one should know, this dark building in front of him belongs to the three of them.

It was a place for them to relax and get away from their family and reality.

However…

Upon entering through the doors, the sound of laughter can be heard from men and women. Even the music was played loudly but could only be heard from inside as the entire place was soundproof.

Seeing the crowd of people inside the building, Lu Tian’s eyes darkened dangerously and the temperature around him drops drastically.

”Why did you guys call me here?”

Ye Zhongwei and Zhi Yifan abruptly stop arguing and neither men dare to open their mouth again. Instead of arguing again, each person threw glances at one another in indication for the other to answer.

Ye Zhongwei: ’You know him longer, you tell him.’

Zhi Yifan: ’You don’t know him longer, so you tell him. He might spare your life.’

Both men argue with their eyes in a nonverbal conversation. They had told Lu Tian to come here because it was important, but now that he is asking why, how are they supposed to tell him the truth?

Seeing that neither wanted to answer him, Lu Tian grew more impatient. What is his wife gets home early and he isn’t home to greet her? Wouldn’t that mean he is neglecting his duty as her man and husband?

”Do I have to repeat myself?”

Zhi Yifan flinched a little at his deep voice that was no different from a tiger’s growl. He sighs inside and decides to take two steps to stand on Lu Tian’s right. His left arm raises, and he places his palm on his friend’s shoulder.

”We thought, since you’re getting married, we can have a little night out before you tied the knot.”

Lu Tian glance at Zhi Yifan then at Ye Zhongwei who had walked up to stand on his left. He never expected that would be deceived by these two men.

Once changes women like how he changes his shirts while the other only focus on medicine.

However, that is not important right now.

He stares at the inside of the building and remains unmoving from standing in front of the door.

This building was once a place only the three of them and sometimes his brother would frequent to find a bit of peace. However, due to Zhi Yifan’s flirtatious and provocative behavior, the place soon turned into a hang out spot for those from prominent families.

Even he and Ye Zhongwei stopped coming here since they didn’t like the crowd.

Thinking these thoughts, he looks at the men and women enjoying their time like this was the best night of their life. A wave of disgust cascade inside him and his brows furrow as he felt like vomiting at the scene.

Not wanting to look at the unsanitary and unpleasant scene, he turns around and strides out of the door.

”I’m going home.”

”CEO Lu? Is that you?”
