Unexpected Second Chance at Love

———-

While the sky turned into midnight blue, everyone from Yue Lingʼs team started getting busy with their assignments. At this very moment, Lu Tianʼs black Audi R8 parks in front of Uncle Zhiʼs shop.

Inside the car, Lu Tian frown when he sees the rundown building. He had thought of taking his wife to De Lʼamour since it was her company, but on their way here, she had redirected him to another route. Never did he think she would....

He stare out to the building and the more he stare, the more dumbfounded he became. The windows outside the building were boarded up and it looked extremely old. It can even pass as a building from a horror film. Like a ghost can jump out any moment.

However, he knows not to judge too much of it. A person should never judge a book by itʼs cover. Moving his eyes to the woman in the passenger seat, he pout his lips.

”Do you want me to walk you in?”

Yue Ling looks at the man and she chuckles at his expression. Even though it was dark, the faint light emitting through the window showed the uneasiness in his eyes. Lifting her hand, she held his cheek and leans in to pet a kiss on his lip that she loves.

”Thank you, but iʼll be fine.”

Grabbing her purse, she prepares to leave. Her hand reach for the door handle and open it. However, before she could fully pull the handle, Lu Tianʼs long arm reach over and stops her.

Caught in surprise, Yue Ling makes a small jump before turning to look at him. Seeing his same indifferent look, she couldnʼt help but pout her lip.

”What is it?”

Not responding right away, Lu Tian stare at his wife. He slowly lean forward, until his face was inches away from herʼs.

”That kiss didnʼt satisfy me.”

”....”

Yue Ling was dumbfounded. She stare with slightly widen eyes. It took her a long minute to get her brain working, but by the time she opened her mouth to say something, Lu Tianʼs lip had already captured hers.

His lips pressed against hers before his tongue makes it way in and danced with hers. Their breathing soon turned rapid as a soft moan escapes Yue Lingʼs lip and a groan for Lu Tian.

Knowing he canʼt let this continue, Lu Tian force himself to pull away. He wrap one arm around his wife and pulls her in for a hug as if kneading her with him.

”Donʼt carry heavy things or overwork yourself. I wonʼt go far from here.”

Hearing this, Yue Ling chuckle. Using her hand, she place it on Lu Tianʼs chest and looks up at the man.

”Tian, you donʼt have to wait for me, Iʼll have Liu Shan drive me home. He—”

Before she could finish all her remaining words, everything seemed to vanished when her eyes met Lu Tianʼs dark eyes.

Lu Tian stare coldly at his wife like the grim reaper, ”Youʼre going back on your words?”

Swallowing all her words, Yue Ling vigorously shook her head. If she had said yes, who knows what the cold man would do.

Knowing he won this round, Lu Tian kiss his wife on the forehead and leans back on his chair.

”Be good. Call me ten minutes before youʼre done.”

”Okay.”

With a quick answer, Yue Ling did not hesitate to get out of the car. She had wasted too much time and needed to get inside Uncle Zhiʼs shop, so she and her team can start their work.

Lu Tian also got out of the car. Except, he didnʼt follow her, but watched her figure furthering towards the building. Until she was inside the building, he finally sat back in his car.

Yet, he didnʼt leave right away. Reaching for his phone, he dials a number. After one ring, the person on the other line answers.

[”Boss, weʼve secured the surrounding premises.”]

”Good, make sure no one from Black Dragon steps a single foot near this building.”

[”Affirmative.”]

Ending the call, Lu Tian looks back at the rundown building, then to the surround areas. Since it was getting late into the night, there were not much people around. A few cars pass the street every now and then, but none intended to stop.

Moments before they had arrived here, he made sure to send his location to his team. When they left Jade Condos, he canʼt say if Black Dragon had follow them or not.

Knowing that his Wolf Team is guarding his wife, he could relax a bit and drives off to the distance.

Oblivious to what was going on outside, Yue Ling stops in front of the tightly shut metal door leading to Uncle Zhiʼs shop.

The two security guards she had met once sees her and greets her with respect. Each taking a step to the side to allow her through.

”Miss Han.”

Yue Ling nod to both men, no intentions to chat with them, she enters the door. The moment she walked through the doors, she scan the shop to see all her team members already inside. Taking big strides, she goes straight to the two men sitting at the end of the room. Standing in the gap between both men, Yue Ling looks at each screen set up on the desk.

”Boss, we hacked into all the surveillance cameras within 10 meters of this place. Anyone suspicious will be seen.”

Liu Shan spoke as his fingers dance away on his keyboard. His attention was fully on the screen in front of him.

”Boss.....”

From the other side, Lin Hui spoke as he turn to look at his boss. Moments ago, he saw his boss get out of a very expensive car. Not only that, the thing that caught him by surprise was that the driver turned out to be a man.

Yue Ling looks down at Lin Hui, she didnʼt say a word but the expression on her face was as if saying ʼyes?ʼ.

Looking at her, Lin Hui wanted to ask, but thinking of something, he quickly shook his head. He decided not to ask because his boss trusts him and with that, he should also trust her.

Not thinking much, Yue Ling looks at the screens one last time before she part her lip to speak.

”Notify me if thereʼs any strange movements outside. We donʼt know if Black Dragon is lurking out there somewhere.”

Ending her conversation with the two men, she turns and walk towards her design team. Lin Hui couldnʼt help but follow his boss movements. He sighed thinking of the image he saw.

”Stop daydreaming and get back to work.”

Liu Shanʼs voice whispers to Lin Hui. Then lifting a hand, he use it to turn the manʼs head back to face the laptop in front of them.

”Shan, did you already know? You know about boss and....”

Pouting his lip, Lin Hui frown as he asks the question. Looking at the man sitting in the seat next to him, he canʼt help but feel that Liu Shan already knew about this.

They both saw their boss get out of the car, except Liu Shan didnʼt show any signs of shock or surprise. He didnʼt even ask his boss who the man was.

However, he wouldnʼt be surprised if it was true. Between him and Liu Shan, the guy was around their boss more.

Glancing at the man thinking hard, Liu Shan sighed and nod his head. Seeing this, Lin Hui quietly sucks in a mouthful of air and his eyes widen. He had prepared for the truth but even so, how can this still not shock him?
