Unexpected Second Chance at Love

As their intimate act of becoming one continue in the morning, afternoon soon came to Imperial with another shower of rain. The sound of moans from Yue Ling and groans from Lu Tian finally subdued inside the bedroom.

Yue Ling was more exhausted by Lu Tianʼs intense stamina and fell asleep on the bed again.

When she tirelessly open her eyes, she furrow her brows. She couldnʼt remember how many times, they did it. All she remembers having fallen asleep on her side. However, for some reason she was on her stomach.

Adjusting her eyes sight, what greeted her was Lu Tianʼs wide-awake eyes gazing deeply back at her.

However, the longer his gaze remained on her without moving away, her shoulders shrugs up as if to try and hide her blushing face.

”Bastard…”

She mumbles with a shy mixed with angry expression, but Lu Tian did not angry. Of course, if it had been someone else, that person would be long dead. However, he chuckles at her cuteness and reach a hand to caress the side of her face.

”But Iʼm the bastard you love.”

”…”

Yue Lingʼs heavy eyes turned heavier at his shamelessness. She sounds a faint scoff and rolled her eyes at him before turning her head to look in the other direction.

Seeing her turn the other way, Lu Tianʼs smile increase more and his entire being did not look at all like the cold and indifferent man that he is. His arm that was used as a pillow by her gently wraps around her and he pulls her closer to his body.

”Letʼs go take a shower.”

His words fell and he sits up bringing her with him. He slides one arm under her knees and swiftly picks her up in princess style.

As he carried her tired body towards the bedroom lavatory, Yue Ling didnʼt bother to struggle. She allows him to carry her and decides that maybe if she pretends to be as stiff a log, maybe, just maybe he will leave her alone as they shower.

However, that maybe was a complete failure.

Even in the shower, Lu Tian did not let her escape. He didnʼt wake her up because he wanted her to rest so that he can have another taste of her delicious tofu.

It was like his stamina never knew when to cease and all Yue Ling could do was cry inside and wish Inu was home. If the little guy were here, he (Inu) would never let Lu Tian bully her like this.

Before Yue Ling knew it, she had fallen asleep yet again. By the time she opened her eyes this time, the sky outside was beginning to darken, but the rain did not stop.

She stares up at the ceiling and wanted to sleep some more, but because of Lu Tianʼs great stamina, the both of them had skipped breakfast and lunch.

Forcing her body to turn to her side, she sighs in relief when she felt the thin layers of clothes on her body.

Lu Tian must have put clothes on her when she fell asleep.

”Youʼre awake.”

A deep voice sounds from the bedroom door and Yue Ling looks with slightly glaring eyes at the perpetrator of her exhausted body. It was all his fault that she could barely move her body let alone even feel her legs.

Lu Tian stood at the door fully clothed in a set of loungewear. He looked fully energized and refreshed. It was like the man never lost any strength but gained more.

Seeing how brightly lit the air around him was, Yue Ling curse inside as her cheeks flush a shade of red and she pulls the blanket to cover the lower half of face.

”How long did I sleep this time?”

The corners of Lu Tianʼs mouth arcs up and he walks towards the bed.

”Long enough. I was going to wake you up, but you already woke up.”

He sits down on the edge of the bed and gently tug the blanket from covering her face.

”Come, I prepared some food for you.”

His words fell in a chuckle at the sight of his wifeʼs sudden shy and childlike appearance. He gently held her by the arms and pulls her up to sit.

However, the second Yue Ling sat up, she felt even more tired and couldnʼt feel any strength left inside her.

Her body turns soft and she falls back onto the bed. She stares at him with a puff out cheeks and slightly raise her arms up.

”See what you did. I canʼt even sit up.”

Lu Tian smiles a laugh and gaze down at her. He nods his head agreeing to her words and reach down to hold her arms to help her sit up.

”Itʼs all my fault. Next time, Iʼll be gentler and use less strength.”

He picks her up in the princess-style carry and strides away from the bed to the door.

Being carried by him again for who knows how many times, Yue Ling doesnʼt argue with him. She wraps one arm around his neck and stretch her other arm forward with her finger pointing to the door.

”Let us go. This Emperor is hungry. Head Eunuch, you must feed zhen until zhen is full and can no longer eat.”

Lu Tian lets out another chuckle at her command. He shakes his head lightly before placing a soft kiss on the temple of her head and carries her in the direction of the kitchen.

”Mm, Your Majesty must eat everything this Head Eunuch cooked.”

As the couple enjoy their first meal for the day, in another part of Imperial, the Ji Mansion stood its ground like a fairytale painting.

A white Mercedes pulls up through the dark metal gates and drove through the driveway until it comes to a stop in front of the house.

The driver side door opens then a bright red umbrella. A pair of slender legs wearing red heels soon follow as the person inside steps out into view.

It was Ji Chu Hua. She wore a red coat matching her heels with her black jeans peeking out at the bottom.

She stares up at the sight of the beautiful Ji Mansion and her eyes dimmed dangerously. She didnʼt want to come here, but she needed to try and convince Grandfather Ji in letting her take over Ji Corps.

Knowing that Yue Ling was now her competitor, she needs to do everything she can to get the Chairman position. If the company were to fall in Yue Lingʼs hands, who knows what will become of her (Ji Chu Hua) and her father.

Thinking this, she closes the door to her car and walks over to the front door.

She needed to get this done with as she has other things to do when night falls.

*Ding ding ding ding ding dong

Like a woman with no patience, she rang the doorbell frantically without a care about being ill-manner.

”Aiya, who is it at the door? How can they be so rude? Ringing the doorbell once is already enough.”

A begrudgingly voice can be heard from behind the door and Ji Chu Hua scoffs annoyingly. However, when she heard the door unlocking from inside, she wipes off her irritation and an elegant smile curls on her face.
