Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Night turn into day bringing light into the room of penthouse 1503. Yue Ling sat up and she frown at the aching pain in her body. She looks at the empty spot next to her and she glares with bullets at it.

ʼDarn that shameless man!!ʼ

Last night, Lu Tianʼs need to ʼbatheʼ took a whole different route. Even though he was gentle, he was still rough with her in some areas. How can he do this to her?!

Ignoring the pain, Yue Ling pulled herself together and got out of bed. This week is going to be a long week, because itʼs fashion week. She doubt that she will get any rest.

Going into the bathroom, she washes up and gets ready for work. After she finished changing, she wore a black overall and a simple white turtle neck sweater under. Her natural wavy hair was let down loosely as it bounce like silk onto her back. Her make up was light with a peachy color lip stain to add some colors. Strapping her 2 inch heels on, she reach for her tan pea coat and handbag.

”Inu, mommyʼs off to work now.”

She kiss Inu on the head and leaves the penthouse. As she leaves out the door, she frown feeling that she was forgetting something.

Ah, my keys.

Yue Ling quickly unlocks the door and enters the house again. As her figure enters, she was dumbfounded.....

”Ah, Tian, why are you still here?”

Lu Tian sat in the living room with some documents in his hand. He stare at his wife the heaviest eyes in the world.

How dare she forget about his existence. She even grabbed her handbag that was sitting right next to him.

He looks at her and leisurely place the documents down to stood up. After straightening his suit, he walks up to his wife.

”Iʼm sending you to work.”

”...”

His tone was cold making Yue Ling at a loss for words. She stare at the man with an indifferent expression and she tried so hard not to laugh. The moment she saw him, she could already see the dark glare from his eyes.

She smiles to him with a chuckle, ”Tian, I was just testing the weather outside. Itʼs quite chilly, so donʼt forget your coat.”

Locking her arms around his, her smile widen, ”Come, lets go.”

”...”

Lu Tian looked down at his wife and he sighed. She looks so cute that he canʼt be mad at her at all. What is he going to do?

—————

Arriving at De Lʼamour, Lu Tian parked the car in the front. Yue Ling unbuckle her seat belt and prepares to leave.

Just as she was about to open the door, Lu Tian pulls her in towards him and their lips sealed the space between them.

”Iʼll come pick you up during lunch.”

”....”

Yue Ling was even more speechless. Her head looked left and right to make sure no one had witness anything. She is in front of her workplace, how can she act so shamelessly like this?

If her workers saw her, what would they say?

Seeing her red face, Lu Tian was quite satisfy. His demeanor quickly turned back to his usual self and he waits for his wife to step out of the car. If he could, he would have gone out to open the door but he knows she wouldnʼt want that. Just not yet.

Yue Ling got out of the car and as she walks towards the door to De Lʼamour, she tries to calm herself.

When she nears the door, from the reflection of the window, she could see Lu Tianʼs car. She pout her lip and turn to look at the man.

When their eyes locked, Yue Ling felt her beating heart beat faster. How nice it is to have the person you love look at you with so much love in their eyes....

A smile cross her lip and she waves bye to the man. She knows that even if she was to tell him to go, he wouldnt, so she decides to enter De Lʼamour first.

And just like she thought, Lu Tian waited until she had enter her company. He doesnʼt want her to see him leave, he rather watch her instead of the other way around.

Waiting a few minutes, he then put the gear shift in drive and stepped on the accelerator. There are somethings that needs to be taken care of.

Yue Ling opened the door to her office and she set her handbag down on the couch. Just as she did so, a knock came from the door and it opens.

”Miss Han?”

Ming Yueʼs figure enters the office with her voice. In her hand was a tablet and some documents.

”Here is your schedule for today. Your first meeting is with TB Corpsʼ Chairman at 10am.”

Hearing the name TB Corps, Yue Ling frown. The name sounded very familiar, but she canʼt recall from where she heard it. Also, when had she ever signed a contract with them?

She pout her lip for a quick second then proceed to her desk, ”Set the things down. I will take a look in a bit.”

Hearing this, Ming Yue smiled with politeness on the outside, but on the inside, she held malicious intents. Setting the tablet and documents down, she quickly leaves the Yue Lingʼs office.

ʼHmmf, you wonʼt be so lucky soon.ʼ

In that moment, Liu Shan enters the room. He glares at Ming Yueʼs figure leaving before he looks to his boss.

”What does that scheming woman want?”

”She somehow squeezed TB Corps into my schedule.”

Yue Ling answer without a care. She reach for the documents left by her secretary and reads each page.

Her brows furrow, then she set the papers down, ”Who is the Chairman of TB Corps?”

”Ning Xingyu.”

Liu Shan did not hide anything and quickly answer his boss. He takes a seat on the couch facing her.

Hearing Liu Shanʼs answer, Yue Ling nod her head with a frown, ”Ning Xingyu?”

Why does that name sound so familiar... Who mentioned the name to her.....

She looks at Liu Shan and she leaned against her chair as she remembers where she heard the name.

”Ning Meiʼs older brother?”

”Mm.”

Liu Shan smile at his boss and leaned back on the couch. He rest both his arms on the backrest, making his posture look relax with a bit of laziness.

”It seems, these two Ning siblings are a fan of yours.”

Remembering the things he found about the Ning siblings, Liu Shanʼs expression turned gravely dim. Anyone who dares to do anything bad to his boss will have to go through him first.

Yue Ling cast a glance at Liu Shan and she felt herself relax. She really does have the most caring assistant in the entire world. However, now is not the time for emotional break downs. Her expression turned serious.

”Did you find anything about Doctor Xie?”

”I did. I found quite a lot of things about that old bastard.”

Liu Shan stood from the couch and walks over to his boss. He takes his phone out and pass it to her.

”Everything is recorded in my phone. Videos, paperworks, phone calls. Everything you can name.”

Yue Ling nod her head and takes the phone from Liu Shan. She unlocks the screen and scans through each page.

The more she read, the more grave her expression turned. Until she reached the last page, her hand clutch tightly on the phone.

”Send Qi Li a message, tell him to not let that old man out of his sight at all.”

”Understood,” Liu Shan answered, but he couldnʼt help pout his lip, ”Boss, youʼre not going to release it to the press?”

He was very curious as to this. Everything he found is enough to ruin that old man right now, but why would his boss want to wait? What is she planning?

Yue Ling set the phone down and turn her computer on. She didnʼt look at her assistant but to the computer screen.

”Lu Tian will handle it.”

”....”

Liu Shanʼs jaw dropped to the ground. Was he hearing things? Lu Tian will handle this situation? Good lord, what will happen to that old man then?

As he thought of his bossʼs words, an evil smile could be seen on his face. He loves the way his boss handles her enemies, but he is more interested in how Lu Tian will do it.

The man is ruthless and straight forward. He never gives way to anyone who crosses his path.

Oblivious to Liu Shanʼs thoughts, Yue Ling types in a few words on her keyboard. Lastly, she press the ʼenterʼ button and stood from her seat.

”Letʼs go, we still need to finish the designs.”
