Unexpected Second Chance at Love

The night grew darker as the cold wind outside began to pick up its speed. Its faint humming can be heard near the windows of Yue Ling and Lu Tian’s home.

However, the couple heeds no mind to it.

The sound of water splashes faintly as Yue Ling stepped out from the bathtub. Her eyes subconsciously glance ahead and see Lu Tian.

After their heated and passionate kiss, Lu Tian did not advance further, nor did she. The two pulled away from one another with flustered cheeks and carried on enjoying their warm bath.

Of course, it wasn’t in silence as they chatted about work and other things.

She would be lying if she weren’t disappointed that nothing happened, but at the same time, she felt at ease. They were able to have a decent conversation without neither of them getting sidetracked.

Brushing her thoughts aside, she walks over to where her bathrobe is and picks it up. However, taking another glance at Lu Tian, she stops what she was going to do and swallows a hard gulp.

He stood naked with his back turned to her and had yet to put on his bathrobe.

She swore, no matter how many times she sees his body, it always made her throat dried.

Sometimes she would have the sudden urge to pounce on him but held onto her dignity not to do so. If possible, she wants to pull a chair to sit on and admire his figure like a painting would often come to mind.

His broad shoulders made her want to bite on it until it bled. So alluring and well defined, it makes her feel so lucky to know she is the only woman who can rest her head on it.

She swallows another gulp and her eyes sneakily lower as if she was checking him out.

His muscular arms always made her feel safe whenever they are wrapped around her. His perfectly toned back that only she can touch and feel.

As her admiring thoughts travel too far, her head tilts to the side in a daze and her eyes look further down. Both her eyebrows arch upwards and she smiles with amusement.

”Hm, cute buttocks too.”

So cute, she suddenly wants to walk over to him and pinch them until they turn red.

She nods her head in agreeing to herself and puts on her bathrobe. However, she did not realize that she had spoken her thoughts out loud.

Just as she draped the bathrobe over her shoulders, Lu Tian suddenly turns around to face her.

What should have been his cute buttocks was now replaced with the view of his almighty dragon. It was half asleep but half awake.

Yue Ling was frozen in place as her eyes and mouth widen. Her movements were extremely slow like she had turned into a sloth.

In her state of shock and surprise, she couldn’t move her gaze away from the lower part of his body. All she could do was continue to stare at it.

”Do you like what you see?”

An entire day seemed to pass, but it was only a few seconds when Yue Ling finally regained her consciousness. She quickly shifts her attention away with crimson red cheeks and looks up at the face of the divine figure.

When their eyes met, she couldn’t help but swallow another gulp.

However, unlike the ones before, this one was more difficult. It was like something hard had lodged itself inside her throat.

”I-Its not what you think…”

She stutters in explanation as he had caught her red-handed admiring his body in secret. Lu Tian’s expression was full of intrigue and amusement that it made her unable to think clearly.

”I-I… You see…”

Unable to finish her sentence, she waves both her palms out in front of her like they could explain her actions.

The front of her robe slips open to reveal the center of her body. This made Lu Tian lower his eyes on her then back up to meet with her bluish-green eyes again.

”Oh, it’s not?”

His deep voice sounds as he stood proud and naked three feet away from her. If one were to look closer, one could see the very unnoticeable smile on his face.

However, for Yue Ling, she felt like a bomb had been dropped onto her.

Lu Tian held the urge to laugh and stares at her waiting for her to answer. He knew that she had been staring at his body the moment she stepped out of the bathtub.

That was because he could see her reflection in the mirror. Only, she didn’t notice that while she was admiring him, he was admiring her.

It was only when she mentioned his buttocks being cute that he came to his senses and turned around.

The corners of his lips slowly raise and like the shameless man that he is in front of her, he tilts his head a little to the side. Both his arms are slightly spread to the side and he poses for her.

”Since you enjoyed admiring my back, why not enjoy the front too?”

”…”

Yue Ling was rendered speechless by how shameless he was. Her entire face flushed red. Only, due to her having finished a bath, all the others on her blended together.

”Y-You…”

Her mouth opened and closed until she was able to force out a stutter. However, she couldn’t finish her words because her brain decided to shut down and she turned into a fish stranded on dry land.

Unable to think of what to say, she puffs her cheeks like a chipmunk. Just as she did this, an idea flashed in her head and she decides to do the only thing she can at this moment.

Run.

She dashes past Lu Tian towards the door without making any eye contact. Right now, she needs to leave the room and find a hole to hide in out of shame.

If she can’t find a hole, she will dig one for herself.

Unfortunately for her, she had forgotten that she was in the presence of the devil.

Lu Tian reacted quickly and like the swift ninja he is, he takes a big step to block her bath. He grabs her arm and pins her against the wall with one hand pressed on the wall.

He also made sure that the arm up created a barrier between his wife and the door.

”My dearest love, where are you going?”

His head lowers with a wide smile on his face and leans towards her ear.

”After filling your eyes with me, are you planning to leave without taking responsibility, hm?”
