Unexpected Second Chance at Love

———-

'Oh god! I can't let him see me!'

Yue Ling definitely can't let Lu Tian see her. Not only does she reek of blood, there were blood stains on her clothes.

Dashing for the bedroom door, she quickly leaps for closet room.

'Almost there.... just a little bit—'

"What are you doing?"

The sudden deep and low voice froze Yue Ling's body. It was a voice that can make any woman drown in it. However, to Yue Ling, it was like ice water pour onto her.

Like a broken robot, she turn her head twitchingly to the bathroom door.

"....."

Seeing the one person she was trying to avoid, the corner of her mouth twitch uncontrollably.

When did the water turned off? And why does it seem like this man just walked out of a photo shoot in a magical fog?

The slight steam from the bathroom, made him look like a god who just descended to the mundane world.

Lu Tian stood at the bathroom door. His upper body was well toned with bulging abdominal muscles and water drops on his flawless skin made everything glow.

Lowering her eyes, she sighs a small relief knowing he was fully clothed down there. However, she couldn't help but struggle a hard swallow. Even with his lounge pants on, she could see a large bump between his legs....

Lu Tian was also taken by surprise seeing his wife the moment he came out of shower. Not only was he seeing her, he gets a feeling that she's being very sneaky. As if she is trying to avoid him.

Seeing where her eyes were stuck on, he arch his brows and smile inside. Moving the towel in his hand, he drape it around his neck. Both hands held the ends of the towel and he moves towards his wife.

He narrow his eyes, "If I'm guessing correctly. It looks like you wanted to see it."

"....."

Hearing him, Yue Ling was dumbfounded. Moving her eyes from the man's lower part, she looks at him.

Each step he took seemed to match up with her beating heart. His one step forward was her one step backward.

*thud*

Unknowingly, Yue Ling did not know when, but her back suddenly hits the door frame. Her heart starts beating like crazy and her mind is thinking way out of the box.

He isn't planning to do 'that' right?

"....."

Like a mouse trapped, she watch the Tiger come closer. Too close. Any closer and he will smell the blood.

"Wwww-wait!"

Yue Ling quickly stuck her arms out and wave them in front of Lu Tian. She can't do this...

Seeing him not stop, she looks at him with angry and distraught eyes. She stomp one foot and raise her voice at him, "Lu Tian! I said wait!!"

Just like an Android listening to it's creator, Lu Tian stops just two feet away from Yue Ling's palms. His eyes never leaving her beautiful face. He had not listened to her the first time, because he wanted to tease her.

He looks at her with a straight face, his expression saying, 'go on. I'm listening.'

Yue Ling straighten herself, "Let me shower first."

Lu Tian arch one brow. Hearing her words, he knew she got the wrong idea. Keeping his outer appearance indifferent, he was laughing so hard inside. He was going to take her, but not until he's fed her first.

"Mm."

Hearing his usual 'mm', Yue Ling quickly moves out the door and into her closet room.

*slam!*

She slams the door shut and press her back against it. Using all her weight to keep the door close. Her chest heaving up and down. Who knows if that shameless man will barge in.

Outside, Lu Tian was dumbfounded. His wife seems to love slamming doors. He should just get rid of every door in the penthouse.

He shakes his head at his wife's cute side and decides to leave her alone. The most important thing now, is to cook a nice meal for her.

Putting the towel away, he heads to the kitchen. However, his feet halted. His eyes stare directly at the end of the hallway to the kitchen.

"What are you looking at?"

"Wroof!"

Inu had seen everything that just happened. If he had fingers, he would have given his mommy a big fat thumbs up for slamming the door.

He looks at Lu Tian as if he was mocking the man, then he swing his head around with attitude. His head held high and his fluffy tail wag side to side like a noble beast.

"....."

Lu Tian was dumbfounded again. He blinked his eyes at the dog before sighing and head to the kitchen.

While Lu Tian busy himself. Yue Ling plant one ear to the door. She listened to his every move until she heard noise from the kitchen.

She sighed in relief. Quickly removing her dirty clothes, she puts on a robe. Grabbing a new set of clothes, she quietly opens the door.

Peaking her head out, she looks left and right. Seeing the coast is clear, she bolted out of the closet room and runs for her dear life to the bathroom.

"....."

Because she had moved so fast, she did not notice the tall figure and fluffy white ball staring at her dumbfounded.

Lu Tian and Inu looked at their favorite person act like an idiot. Neither said a word or sound. At the same time, Lu Tian turn his head and looks down, while Inu looks up.

Their eyes met and sparks clash together like lightning in the sky. Lu Tian turn his head and goes back to cooking. Inu turns his head and heads for his bed.

*ring ring*

Lu Tian takes his phone out of his pocket and looks at the caller. His expression darkens and he answers.

"Report."

["Boss, I hacked every footage from Ghost Gang's base. Someone wiped the entire thing clean, however I was able to retrieve a little footage."]

"....."

Lu Tian's eyes darken ten shades black heading the report. Xu Long is the best hacker he's known. If Xu Long can only get a little information, that means, whoever the person is, they have a very skilled hacker on their side.

"Use whatever means you have to find the unknown person. I want everything on my desk tomorrow."

["Yes, Boss!"]

Lu Tian ends the call and pinch the space between his brows. Whoever this man is, he must be very cunning to block Xu Long from finding him.

————-

Yue Ling finished her shower in half an hour. She felt refreshed and extra clean. The blood stench is now replaced with her fresh body wash.

After drying her hair, she puts on a silky nightgown and an oversized knitted cardigan. The moment she stepped out of the bedroom, she could smell a delicious aroma. Closing her eyes, she inhaled the smell and smiles. She was exhausted and very hungry.

Walking into the kitchen, she sees the broad back of Lu Tian. She sighed at his figure.

She ignores his naked upper body. Ever since he's moved in, she's noticed that he never wears a shirt to sleep. It's also like, she's gotten used to it? Well, kind of, not really.

Standing behind him, she peaks her head out and exclaims at his side.

"Smells delicious!"

Lu Tian didn't say anything but turn his head. His eyes looked at the world's most beautifulest woman. She looked like a small child with her bare face and flushed cheeks.

Without thinking, Yue Ling lifts her head and her bluish green eyes meets Lu Tian's dark ones. Her cheeks flush even more red like she had a fever.

Feeling embarrassed and nervous, she decides to get out of the kitchen. Her baby! She needs to see her baby!

Just when she thought of it, Lu Tian had already read her mind and moved faster.

His left hand moves behind Yue Ling and wrap around her. Without any warning, he brings her closer and lower his head to capture her arousing peach lips.

"..."

Yue Ling was surprised and speechless. Lu Tian had moved so fast, she didn't have enough time to react. His lips started as slow pecks to a hungry beast. His tongue broke through the barrier and dance with hers.

Until she was going to lose her breath, he reluctantly pulls away. Lu Tian move his hand on her back to the back of Yue Ling's nape. He kiss her forehead and like always, he press his forehead to hers.

The sound of their dinner faintly sizzles mixing with their heavy breathing.

Lu Tian closed his eyes to feel Yue Ling's warmth, he whispers behind his breath, "I really want to take you now."
