Unexpected Second Chance at Love

———

As Yue Ling heads to Lu Tianʼs company, Lu Tian sat in his chair and a small smile curl on his god-like face. His wife was going to be here. How he wish to let the whole world know how happy he is... actually, he can, but he needs his wifeʼs approval first.

As Lu Tian was in his own sweet thoughts, he did not realize his dumbfounded assistant. Xu Long stares in wide eyes and his mouth open in the shape of an ʼOʼ. He could not believe his eyes at all. His boss had just return to his office from the meeting and he made a phone call. A phone call! His boss never makes a phone call, it was always others calling him!

However, the most unbelievable thing did happen. Not only that, during that phone call, Xu Long paid very close attention to his bossʼs expressions. From happy to murderous and then happiness! Without a doubt, he knows thereʼs only one person who can make his bossʼs cold and aloof aura break, and that person was coming here for lunch!

His lady boss is really coming here!! Just what kind of uproar will Lu Corps be in today?!!!

As quickly as the smile came, it disappears. Lu Tian returned to his mastered supreme poker face. He looks at his still dumbfounded assistant.

”My wife will be here at 11:45am. Inform the security guard in advance to let her in right away.”

Wife.....?

Xu Long tilt his head. Did his boss just called the lady boss wife? Oh lord! What kind of news is this?!! Never in his entire life, did he think to ever hear his boss use the word!! Wait... wife? His boss and the lady boss got married?

Shaking his head, he straightens himself and salutes, ”Sir! Yes sir!!”

Xu Long flash out the door at the speed of light. He must notify the security guard and Secretary Yu of the lady bossʼs arrival!!! If he doesnʼt and his lady boss gets into a complicated situation, who knows what kind of wrath will await him!!

”....”

Lu Tian watched his assistant leave. He didnʼt know to laugh or cry. Shaking his head, he looks at the time and goes back to working. He wants to get all his work done, so he can spend lunch with his wife without anything bothering him.

While Xu Long ran like a maniac inside Lu Corps, all the employees were curious. However, no one dared to ask.

Two female workers watched everything unfold and couldnʼt help but start a conversation.

Girl 1: ”Why is assistant Xu in such a hurry?”

Girl 2: ”Iʼm not sure, something must have happened.”

Girl 1: ”That reminds me, I have a friend who said she saw CEO Lu with supermodel, Han Yue Ling at the supermarket.”

Girl 2: ”Eh?! You mean, THEE Han Yue Ling? The woman of every manʼs dream?!”

Girl 1: ”Yes, that Han Yue Ling. My friend said they were shopping together and CEO Lu even called her ʼwifeʼ.”

Girl 2: ”Our cold and aloof CEO, who is handsomely charming with the delicate and beautiful, Han Yue Ling... What a perfect match.”

The woman sighs, ”Its a pity, that mean our boss is no longer Chinaʼs most eligible bachelor. Just how many women would be heart broken...”

Girl 1: ”Iʼm also heartbroken. I come to work everyday just too see our handsome boss! But, I donʼt mind my lady boss being Han Yue Ling. Sheʼs a true beauty and everyone says sheʼs a good person. Unlike the so-called beauty here, who is a fake.”

As the two women continue into their conversation, they did not realize that everything they said was heard. Qian Li Li stood behind the two women with only a giant plant blocking her from view.

She wore a pink blouse tucked inside a navy pencil skirt with matching pink sandal heels. Her nails digging into her clenched palms and her eyes glaring daggers at the two women.

Qian Li Li had follow Xu Long to the first floor because she wanted to know why he was in such a rush. But who knew sheʼd overhear the two womenʼs conversation.

ʼMy Lu Tian and Han Yue Ling? Hmmf, dream on! This world isnʼt so small. Han Yue Ling may be Asiaʼs number one ranking model, but doesnʼt mean she knows Lu Tian. How dare these lowly sluts say the two were a couple! Only, I, Qian Li Li am worthy to be Lu Tianʼs wife!ʼ

Just then, her eyes caught sight of Xu Longʼs figure. He said something to the front receptionist and quickly leaves out the double doors of Lu Corps. Quickly, she ignores the two women and heads over to the front desk.

Seeing Qian Li Li, the girl at the receptionist desk smiles, ”Miss Qian, how can I help you?”

Qian Li Li smiles politely, ”I have a packaged delivered, is it here yet?”

”Oh, let me check.” The girl looks at the computer and types away.

Purposely distracting the dumb girl, Qian Li Li sneers inwardly, ”I just saw assistant Xu, Why was he in such a hurry?”

Without thinking, the girls answers as she types on the keyboard, ”Oh, assistant Xu said a very important person is coming to Lu Corps.”

Qian Li Li pout her red lips, ”Important? Did he say who?”

”Assistant Xu said it was—-”

Realizing she had messed up, the girl looks at Qian Li Li then she lower her head, ”Assistant Xu said it was confidential.”

Qian Li Li clench her fists. She is the future wife of Lu Tian, how dare these workers talk and keep things from her! Annoyed, she turns and leave from the receptionist.

”Miss Qian, What about your package? I havenʼt—”

Before the girl could finish, Qian Li Liʼs figure had already turned around the corner.

”....”

Qian Li Li stops at a corner where no workers were in sight, she stomps her heel and her nostril flaring. Taking out her phone, she dials a number. After five rings, someone answers.

[”Li Li, I am currently busy. What is it?”]

”Dad, who is CEO Lu meeting today?”

[”Meeting? His next meeting isnʼt until 2pm.]

”Dad, I heard that a very important person is coming to meet CEO Lu. Do you know if this person is a man or a woman?”

[”Li Li, why would CEO Lu meet a woman? You know how he is. The very important person he is meet is Zi Internationalʼs CEO.”]

Hearing her fatherʼs words, Qian Li Li sighed in relief. She said goodbye and ends the call. So, Lu Tian wasnʼt meeting a woman. Just as her father said, Lu Tian has never been in a scandal and he didnʼt like to be close to women. She has been slowly making her progress to get closer to the man of her dreams.

Calming herself, she heads to her office with a happy smile, making all the male workers blush and admire her beauty.

How they wish to court her....
