Unexpected Second Chance at Love

After Liu Shan slammed the door shut, the design room inside De Lʼamour instantly quiets down. Yue Ling leisurely walks over to a chair and sits down.

Seeing her do so, everyone else follows pursuit. Except for Qi Li, who did not move from his position by the window.

Yue Ling glance at the people in the room one by one. The calmness in her expression changes into seriousness.

”Tonightʼs fashion show will not be like the past ones weʼve participated. As you all know, Chen Limei plans to sabotage us by recreating our designs and Chu Li Xiang is making a move in the dark.”

She looks at the faces of her most loyal and trustworthy subordinates again.

The other day when Liu Shan showed her and Lu Tian what he found, she had him forward everything to the members. She wanted everyone to well be prepared and in full alert.

Chu Li Xiang is indeed a sneaky man, so they cannot anticipate Lu Tianʼs team to finish the job alone. Even if the show starts, they still need to stay alert, whether if itʼs the outside or inside.

Hearing her words, the members of the design team turned serious. When they found out their boss was targeted, they wanted to go and kill the man. However, she didnʼt allow them. She said to let the man come to them since he is seeking death.

Yue Ling glance at the wall clock in the room and continues to tell them the change of plan. She left no details out as Liu Shan fills in the gaps every here and there.

In the end, when she finished what she had to say, she stood up to leave. However, she pauses in her steps and looks back at everyone again.

”Remember, Qi Li and Tang Zhong Hui, you two are transporting the designs from Uncle Zhiʼs shop. Lian Ni Shang, Shan Sinan and Gui Tian Lan, you three are transporting the designs here.”

Saying this, she looks at the petite Ju Suo and stylish Gui Zhongmin.

”You two are escorting our opening model. Make sure nothing goes wrong.”

Being reminded of their task, the first five people nod their heads in understanding. However, unlike them, Ju Suo and Gui Zhongmin felt otherwise.

Ju Suo wipes her eyes with no tears and bit her lower lip.

”Boss… I love you the most, but do I have to? Canʼt I switch places with someone else?”

Gui Zhongmin also wanted to cry but lack the tears to shed. He thought back to his encounter with this person and he could only shiver. Why is his luck so bad?

”Boss, will he really allow us to escort him? I mean, heʼs got a really bad temper… Canʼt you have mercy on Ju Suo and me?”

Yue Ling looks at the duo. One short and the other tall. She knows why they donʼt like this task, but who else can she depend other than them? Thinking of something, she smiles reassuringly to them.

”Donʼt worry, I will talk to him. Iʼm sure he wonʼt give you both a hard time.”

Ju Suo and Gui Zhongmin were reluctant to agree, but seeing her expression, they could only nod their heads in understanding.

Coming to an agreement with her, Yue Ling looks at each person again. She couldnʼt help but a sigh a smile like a proud mother watching her hard-working children.

”Whether we win first place or not, that is not important to me. I am thankful to have you all as part of my design team and family. Your efforts put into each design makes me proud and shows that you all are your own winner. I hope you all be careful and take care of yourself tonight.”

From her words, everyoneʼs eyes tear up, except for the carefree Liu Shan and calm Qi Li. However, they all had one thought, motivation.

”Liu Shan will fill you all in on the rest of tonightʼs plan. After, everyone may leave to rest for the afternoon. I will see you all at tonightʼs event.”

Yue Ling spoke with a smile and bids them goodbye as she leaves the messy design room.

As her figure exits the room, Qi Li who had been quiet the entire time finally moves from his position. He walks over to Liu Shan with a stern expression.

”Is it really true? Did Chu Li Xiang really sent his men to harm her?”

His sudden question caught the attention of the others. Each person turn to look at the assistant for an answer. Even they could not believe such thing happened.

Looking at the seven people in the room, Liu Shan could only sigh aloud.

”Itʼs really true. I wasnʼt there, but Lin Hui and Lu Tianʼs assistant, Xu Long were there.”

His eyes darken at the thought of his in danger. Not only did those people not care about harming her, they didnʼt even stop to consider the child inside her.

”Tonight, they plan to attack again, but this time, it will be more dangerous. Before, during or after, we canʼt let them make a move to sabotage bossʼs dream. Lu Tian has ordered his team to secure the surrounding premises. Anyone suspicious will be taken out right away. However, as the Alpha Team of Yue Ling, you guys will be participating in the event. In that case, you all must keep watch inside.”

As Liu Shan finish his words, Shan Sinan furrow his brows in thought. He looks at the assistant and spoke to confirm his curiosity.

”Youʼre referring to Lu Tianʼs Wolf Team? THAT team?”

Mentioning the teamʼs name, everyone eyes widen in surprise. They look at Liu Shan for another confirmation. From what they know, Wolf Team consists of more members than Alpha Team, but despite the number difference, the way they handle missions are similar.

They are well trained and everything they do is precise. Give them a task and they will complete it at all cost even if it means they wonʼt be returning home.

However, if itʼs Wolf Team, then that means this will be their first time working alongside them.

Liu Shan looks at they many eyes staring at him. He felt rather uncomfortable to be stared at by so many people, but he answers them truthfully.

”Yes, THAT Wolf Team.”

He takes his phone out and unlocks the screen. Pressing a button, he looks at everyone.

*Beep beep beep*

In that exact moment, the phones of all seven people sounds into the room. Each person quickly takes their phone out to check what was sent to them.

To their surprise, it was a list of names and photos of the person.

Seeing their expressions, Liu Shan does not react. Instead he goes on and explains.

”What I have sent are two different lists. The first list contains every member of Wolf Team, the other contains Chu Li Xiangʼs men. As of now, names are not important, but make sure you do your best to mesmerize each face.”

He puts his phone in his pocket and his words continue.

”You must be able to differentiate between who is friend and who is foe.”
