Unexpected Second Chance at Love

After dropping Yue LIng off at De Lʼamour, Lu Tian did not return to Lu Corps. Instead, he drives out in the opposite direction.

When he arrived at the location, he parks the car and steps out. He looks up at the rather large house and he felt greatly satisfy. This was none other than the same house he took Yue Ling to see.

Standing in front of the door, Xu Long had long arrived. When Liu Shan dropped him off, he had been notify by the hired workers that everything was set and in preparation. Hearing such good news, he did not wait and call his boss right away.

Lu Tian walks up to the door and both the boss and assistant enter the house.

Following behind Lu Tian, Xu Long grinned ear to ear. It was as if everything in preparation was for him.

”Boss, everything is just as you asked. Nothing is amiss.”

Lu Tian did not answer but nod his head. His goal at this moment is to make sure everything is exactly as he had pictured.

The time gradually moved in the distance, but the moment Lu Tian stepped out of the front door again, the sun had already began to set. He glance at the time on his watch and ponder in thoughts.

Since Yue Ling is not off yet, he should pay his father and nagging mother a visit.

He looks at his assistant, ”Make sure everything is set to what the correct time.”

Finishing this last word, he gets into his car and drives out the front gate. From behind, Xu Long looks at the house and he sighed.

When will he find a girlfriend? Someone to cook delicious food and care for him?

Thinking of it, his eyes lit up when he remembers something. Quickly taking this phone out, he sends a message to a certain person.

ʼNew family, introduce me to one of your girlfriendʼs friend.ʼ

————-

Early evening arrived and Lu Tianʼs car pulls up to the Lu family household. He calmly gets out of the car and walks to the house.

Entering the house, the housekeeper greeted him and guide him to where Old Lu and Madam Lu were at.

”Master Lu and Madam Lu, the eldest young master is here.”

Sitting in the living room, madam Lu and Old Lu were eating snacks. The middle age couple had spent the entire morning strolling in the city and just arrive back not too long ago.

From the corner of her eyes, Madam Lu sees a figure standing at the side and she looks in that direction. Seeing who it is, her eyes lit up like firework.

”Tian! Why are you here?”

Just as surprised as his wife, Old Lu looks at his eldest son. Normally, it was them who had to force Lu Tian to visit. Why is it that the kid is suddenly visiting? Did something happen? Oh lord!

Lu Tian nod his head to his parents. It was his normal way of greeting the couple. Walking into the living room, he sits down on the sofa across from the two.

”Father, mother, I found the woman I love.”

”....”

Like the unexpected person he is, Lu Tianʼs words were straight to the point. He didnʼt even give a warning to the suddenly old couple. Even stranger, his expression did not even change when he spoke those words!

Madam Lu felt like she was suddenly at a loss of breath and Old Lu felt like someone had splash a bucket of water on him. However, both of their expressions were the same.

Dumbfounded!

Lu Tian ignore their shocked reaction and he quickly got to the point again. Just that, this time, he didnʼt think his next words would be such shocking news to his parents.

”Iʼm going to propose to her.”

”....”

As if an entire day had just gone by, Old Lu was the first to regain his senses. He takes a deep breath and stare at his eldest son attentively.

”Is this some kind of joke?” He rubs his temple and his words continue, ”Tian, I know your mother has been nagging about you finding a wife, but you should really think this through.”

Lu Tian looks at his father and their eyes met. His expression was the same indifferent and cold, but his words were firm.

”Sheʼs the only one I will marry.”

Hearing this, Madam Lu abruptly stood up from the sofa. She points her finger at Lu Tian in rage.

”Tian, how can you say something like that?! What about grandfather Jiʼs granddaughter? You havenʼt even met her and youʼre already deciding to marry someone else?”

From the side, Old Lu did not say anything, but remained quiet. His wife was right and at the same time wrong. They do want Lu Tian to marry someone from a good family. It would be nice if it was Grandfather Jiʼs granddaughter, but itʼs only right that their son is happy with who he chooses.

Looking at his parents, Lu Tian did not answer his mother right away. He knew she would act this way when she found out, but shouldnʼt they be happy for him? Werenʼt they always worried about his marriage?

Sighing, he looks at them with attentive eyes, ”I know you are both doing what any parent would do, but I have made my decision. I will still complete what I promised and meet grandfather Jiʼs granddaughter. However, I hope you both respect my decision and not force this any further.”

Hearing this, both Old Lu and Madam Lu sighed. Madam Lu sat back down and pinch the space between her brows.

”Fine, I will accept your decision. Just meet the old manʼs granddaughter out of respect for him. Neither, I or your father will come between you and your woman of choice.”

Just as Madam Luʼs words fell, the housekeeper walks into the livingroom and towards Old Lu. He bent down to whisper something to the man, but before he could even say anything, a laugh enters the room.

”Hahah, did I intrude the Luʼs? I heard something about my granddaughter.”

Entering the Lu familyʼs living room was none other than the old man they were discussing about. Old man Ji held both his hands behind his back with Zhong Yang following behind him.

Both elderly men walked into the room like royalty from ancient times. Seeing this, Old Lu stood from his seat to welcome them.

”Grandfather Ji and assistant Zhong, please sit.”

Walking toward the sofa, Grandfather Ji nod his head in greeting and glance at Lu Tian. He made sure it was just a quick glance that did not last for 2 seconds.

Until both men sat down, Old Lu polite asks, ”What brings you here today?”

Grandfather Ji chuckles a jolly laugh, ”I was in the neighborhood and decided to stop by.”

Of course, he wonʼt say that he had purposely come here after his little talk with Doctor Dong. Besides, when he arrived, without any intentions to listen, he had heard his granddaughter being mention.

”I did not mean to eavesdrop, but I overheard you mention something about my granddaughter. May I know the reason?”

Both Old Lu and Madam Lu were speechless hearing the old manʼs words. They looked at each other for a quick second, then to Lu Tian who was sitting next to grandfather Ji. Sighing, Old Lu was the first to talk.

”Itʼs like this, my eldest son has taken a liking to a girl. We had hope that he would meet your granddaughter, but as much as we want the two to meet, we wonʼt use force. I hope grandfather Ji can forgive Tian.”

Grandfather Ji listened to Old Luʼs explanation from start to end. His head nod every now and then in understanding. He touch his chin and ponder in thought.

”Ah, so it was my granddaughter that you hoped to the boy to marry.” His head nod again and he continue his words, ”They would make a good match.”

Sitting next to the old man, Zhong Yang rolled his eyes when he heard those words. Sometimes he wish the old man was not so open minded in his words. To him, he may be referring to Yue Ling, but for those who didnʼt know who she is would think he meant Ji Chu Hua.

But of course, the old man knew exactly who was talking about. He looks at the Lu parents and faintly smile.

”As elders in our family, we should not force marriage upon our kids. Now is the new generation and they should decide who they wish to marry.”

He turns to Lu Tian and pat the boy on the shoulder.

”I will not force you to marry my granddaughter, but I hope that you will meet her. You never know, she might actually be the one for you.”

He spoke his words with a grinning smile. Itʼs not that he doesnʼt want to tell Lu Tian who is granddaughter is, but he felt it was rather amusing to watch the look on the boyʼs face. Just thinking of it, he can already imagine that cold and aloof mask ripped off.

Hearing his words, Old Lu and Madam Lu both sighed in relief. If it was anyone else, they would not worry, but this was grandfather Ji. He had always been a support to the Luʼs and a close friend.

Unlike his parents, Lu Tian nod his head in response to grandfather Jiʼs words. Remembering something, he looks at the old man.

”Grandfather Ji, can I ask your help with something?”

The old man arch a brow and laughs, ”Ask away kid.”

”Things in Imperial is too quiet, I hope to train my team with your soldiers.”

He knows that his Wolf Team is strong, but he has a feeling that something is not right in Imperial and he should prepare for it. That way, if anything were to really happen, grandfather Jiʼs soldiers would also know what to do too.

Listening, Grandfather Ji nod his head. Heʼs been working with the boy for years now and he has come to understand the meaning behind those words. Even he felt something was not right these past days.

”Alright, bring your team over when ready.”

”Thank You.”

Lu Tian thanked the old man, but he sudden remembers another thing, ”If you donʼt mind, I hope my team can train with that man.”

Grandfather Ji: ”....”

Zhong Yang: ”....”

Both Old men were at a loss for words. By ʼthat manʼ they knew exactly who Lu Tian was referring to!
