Unexpected Second Chance at Love

The same time Lu Tian entered his car and drove away from Imperial Military Hospital, Yue Ling and Liu Shan had also left De Lʼamour.

For the boss and assistant, the season was changing, so it was time for all designers to further preparations for the next fashion trend.

In the backseat of Liu Shanʼs car, Yue Ling sat with one leg crossed over the other. She held a tablet with her right-hand as her left-hand swipe over the screen to review the drafts.

There were designs sketches she had done during her spare time and a few from her workers. As a designer, it should have been her ideas only, but she liked to see the contributes her employees have in mind.

Usually, everything would be added into her black design book, but that book is very important to her and De Lʼamour so it can only be left behind in her office.

”Seems like everyone has been busy since Iʼve been on leave.”

Liu Shan sat quietly in the driver seat with attentive eyes on the street ahead. When he heard her words, he glance at the rearview mirror for a quick second then back to the front.

”Donʼt worry, we were only busy because we wanted you to have less work when you return.”

He chuckles his words like a good Samaritan. However, inside he was crying like a baby.

Everyone at De Lʼamour has been working hard like their life depended on it. Especially him since he doesnʼt want her to exhaust herself after recovering.

However, he isnʼt crying on the inside because he had overworked himself, but because she appeared out of the blue without letting anyone know.

The moment he saw her walk out of the elevator, he knew that she wasnʼt there to visit. It was only an excuse so that she can work since she is a workaholic.

Just like the days in the past. Even when she was so sick and could barely stand, she would still come in for work.

As the caring and loving boss she is, no one wanted to see her force herself to such extent. They would try to convince her to go home and rest, but she would always smile and say she is fine.

However, after countless fail attempts, they could only listen to her and give up. At the time, even Shin couldnʼt stop her from working so hard.

Shaking these thoughts away, he heaves a long sigh and scratch the side of his head with one hand.

”Boss, you said you were only visiting. I think I should drop you off at home so you can recover.” Or else Lu Tian will strangle me to death when he finds out.

He spoke the remaining words in his head as it was the truth. Judging from the aloof manʼs demeanor, he might have given her approval to visit work, but he never said anything about letting her do the work.

If he (Lu Tian) finds out about this, he (Liu Shan) is sure he will not see another day again.

”What do you say hm?”

Yue Ling doesnʼt look up from the tablet, but a faint smile curls on her lip as she could guess her assistantʼs thoughts. She is indeed grateful that everyone wants her to recover well. However, as their boss, she cannot sit idly at home while they do all the work for her.

”I say Tian doesnʼt mind if I were to go with you.”

Her fingers continue to scroll through the page on the tablet. If she recalls correctly, from the schedule Lian Ni Shang sent her, De Lʼamour is meeting with a fabric company today to discuss partnership.

She trusts that Liu Shan alone is capable of handling this task, but the owner of this fabric company is a brusque man. Never will she allow her subordinates to handle a situation like this on their own.

Thinking this, her voice sounds again with a smile.

”Of course, that is if we donʼt tell him.”

Her words fell and Liu Shan rolled his eyes.

Donʼt tell Lu Tian? Bless his soul, if he doesnʼt tell Lu Tian, he wonʼt be strangled to death but end up in pieces like Chu Li Xiang. He might even be another meal for those sharks!

Oblivious to her assistantʼs tearful thoughts, Yue Lingʼs hand on the screen pauses.

She stares down at the page she had stopped on and an unnoticeable smile appears on her face. Only, this smile held thousands of mix emotions.

The tips of her fingers carefully caress the screen. She made sure her touch was soft and gentle so that the page would not scroll away.

It was a page of clothing designs for children of different ages.

During her spare time, she had sketched out designs in hopes that her and Lu Tianʼs child would be able to wear them. Each stroke she made, her thoughts were always with her child.

”Shan, will you say I am crazy if I said I met mine and Tianʼs child in a dream?”

Liu Shan who was thinking about all the ways Lu Tian might kill him comes back to his senses. He avert his thoughts to her question before he makes a faint chuckle that held little pain in his chest.

”Crazy? What is so crazy about dreaming about a loved one?”

Yue Lingʼs bluish green eyes moves away from the tablet screen to Lʼamour de ma vie. Her mind wonder to endless thoughts before she raise her head and turn to look out the window.

Despite the season still cold, the sky was clear and blue like a warm sunny day in summer.

Just like the sky in her vivid dream.

”When I still unconscious, I dreamt I was standing in a vast field. It felt so real like I was actually there.”

Her eyes remain unmoving from the sky, but it was like she was trying to paint the image of her dream in the horizon.

”The place, it was so beautiful and peaceful that a part of me did not want to leave. It was like something was drawing me to the field and telling me that if I were to stay, I would see my loved ones again.”

Liu Shanʼs brows furrow as he listens to her. He was a little confused and glance to look at her in the rearview mirror.

”Then I saw him…”

Before he could say what was on his mind, Yue Lingʼs voice continues. However, when she spoke those words, her voice was soft and soothing like that of a mother who longs for her child.
