Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Chapter 679 Profession undercover agents

By the time Yue Ling and Lu Tian finished their dinner, the sun was already beginning to set in the horizon. As they prepare to leave the restaurant, Madam Zhao waltz back into the dining room to walk them out.

However, she by a chance glance at the table, and she gasped in horror.

”Oh my. Child, why did you eat so little? Are you not feeling well?”

She reaches a hand to Yue Ling and places the back of her hand on Yue Lingʼs forehead. Her brows crease together, and she tilts her head in question.

Yue Lingʼs temperature was fine, so what could it be?

”Was the food not to your liking?”

Yue Ling wanted to tell Madam Zhao that she was fine, but hearing the womanʼs last question, she sighs a smile and shook her head.

”The meal was delicious.”

She raises one hand to hold the womanʼs hand and gently lowers it. Her other hand place over the older hand and her smile widen.

”I ate until I was full and could not eat anymore.”

Madam Zhao was rooted to the floor in a daze by Yue Lingʼs bedazzling smile. Now she is sure she understands how her cold and aloof nephew fell in love at first sight.

Be it, man or woman, anyone who comes face to face with Yue Lingʼs smile will no doubt feel the same.

Why couldnʼt she have a son too? If she did, Yue Ling would have been her Zhao familyʼs daughter-in-law.

Lu Tian was once again cast off like a third wheel. His expression grew sour and he gently pulls his wife away from his attention-stealing aunt.

”Come, letʼs go.”

Did she (Madam Zhao) think that he was blind and could not read what she was thinking?

Yue Ling stares at the two people and she was once again dumbfounded by their behavior. She sounds a soft giggle and nods her head to Lu Tianʼs words.

”Mm, but I was thinking we can stop by my yeyeʼs place to pick up—”

*Splash—

Before she could mention Inuʼs name, Madam Zhao picks up a cup of unfinished tea and spills it onto Yue Lingʼs grey princess coat.

She (Madam Zhao) gasp in shock and covers her mouth with eyes opening wide.

”Oh my, how clumsy of me.”

She grabs a napkin from the table and wipes away the pilled tea. However, the more she tried to clean it, the more the watermark spread.

”Aiya, this will not do. No, no, no.”

Yue Ling didnʼt know what to feel at this moment. She presses her lips together to keep herself from laughing, let alone smile. She knew Madam Zhao had done it intentionally and not on accident.

Of course, it wasnʼt done in a malicious way, but in the kind of way that you canʼt think of what to do to stop someone from leaving.

However, unable to hold herself back, she lets a chuckle escape her lips and she stops Madam Zhao.

”Itʼs alright, itʼs only a small stain. Once I wash it at home, itʼll disappear.”

Madam Zhao sighs at herself for being clumsy and shakes her head.

”No, no, no. This will not do. I cannot let you leave like this.”

She waves to a worker standing in wait at the side and gestures a snap.

”Go bring a change of clothes for Yue Ling.”

”…”

Yue Ling wanted to decline the offer but within seconds, the same worker Madam Zhao had instructed returns with a black garment bag.

”Um… this is…”

She was at a loss seeing this unfold in front of her. She is currently standing inside a restaurant, right? If so, then how is it that Madam Zhao just so happens to have a change of clothes for her?

Madam Zhao kept a calm demeanor, but inside she wanted to slap herself for her stupidity. Out of all the ways to get Yue Ling to change her clothes, she just had to come up with this obvious plan.

However, she knows that it was too late to regret what she did.

She only hopes that Yue Ling doesnʼt think she is evil and blames her for ruining a good coat.

Taking the garment bag for the worker, she gently shoves it into Yue Lingʼs arms and grins.

”This is a change of clothes prepared for you.”

Her words fell and she pushes Yue Ling in the direction of the ladyʼs restroom with one hand. Her other hand then waves in the direction of the kitchen.

”YaʼEr! Hurry and come help Yue Ling change.”

”…”

Yue Lingʼs head turns to look at the kitchen after hearing the womanʼs words. She was even more baffled when she saw Zhao YaʼEr skip towards her.

”Oh my. Yue-Yue, youʼre also here. Come, letʼs go get you changed.”

Zhao YaʼEr chuckles each of her words and pulls Yue Ling towards the ladyʼs restroom. Her eyes beamed with joy as she was also carrying a makeup bag.

Staring at the woman with a Pixi haircut, Yue Ling more confused now. She looks down at the garment bag then back to her friend.

”Should I be curious or scared as to why you are here?”

Zhao YaʼEr chuckles a wide grin and puts on a bashful expression.

”Whatʼs there to curious or scared about. I just happened to be here to help my parents with the restaurant.”

Watching his wife being dragged away by his cousin, Lu Tian was even more dumbfounded than his wife.

His right arm cross over his chest as his left elbow rest on top and his left hand raised to massage his forehead.

This is what they call being secretive?

Madam Zhao held a wide grin as she was pleased with how the situation turned out. She scoots over to stand next to her nephew and nudge him with her elbow.

Her chin slightly raises and she giggles quietly.

”See, I told you, didnʼt I? YaʼEr and I got this. We were like professional undercover agents. Yue Ling will never be suspicious of us.”

”…”

Lu Tian lowers his hand a little to reveal his eyes. He stares down at his aunt for a long minute before raising his hand to massage his forehead again.

Maybe it was a wrong decision to ask his family for help on his plan.

His wife is a smart woman and she tends to catch on to situations quickly. He only hopes that his aunt is right and she (Yue Ling) doesnʼt suspect their obvious moves.
