Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Chapter 313 poor bed



Amidst the quiet night, Yue Ling stood unmoving in the dark bedroom with Inu at her side. She squats down at eye level with him and pat his head.

"Good job, Inu. You kept mommy and baby safe."

"Wroof-!"

Inu happily barks while rubbing his head against his favorite human's palm. He is always happy to spend time with her, especially when they are taking down the bad guys. Not only that, he kept the promise he made with his enemy.

A soft chuckle escapes Yue Ling's lip when she saw Inu's cute gestures. She couldn't help but wonder if it was a mistake to turn the little guy into a house pet.

Just as Inu was enjoying his bliss of happiness, his ears perk up at the sound of footsteps coming in their direction.

"Grrr…"

At the same time, Yue Ling slowly stood up and turn to look at the door.

Due to the darkness, she could only see the outline of a figure approaching them. Her eyes slowly flutter, and she looks down at the little guy on guard.

"It's alright. It's Lin Hui."

Hearing her words, Inu returns to usual self, but he is still cautious. Bad people were just here, so he cannot completely let his guard down.

"Boss!"

Lin Hui calls out as his hands brush against the wall to help him walk straight. It was still dark inside, and he does not know his way around her place.

Following behind him is none other than Xu Long, however, just like Lin Hui, he was also fumbling with the wall. He had completely forgotten about his night vision device.

Entering the room, Lin Hui sees the outline of his boss and Inu. He smiles widely and waves both arms out.

"Boss, are you alright?"

Yue Ling answers with a simple 'en', then looks down at the fluff ball.

"Inu did most of the work."

"…."

Hearing her words, Lin Hui couldn't help but feel awkward and jealous. He was busy taking down the other four men that instead of being the hero who saves the princess, he gave the opportunity to Inu.

He scratches the temple of his head with his index finger and chuckle sarcastically.

"Heh heh… I always knew Inu was a capable guy. With him by your side, nothing would happen."

As Lin Hui carry on with his words, he did not pay attention to Xu Long, who is standing behind him.

Xu Long, however, was not like Lin Hui, the him at this moment had his jaw dropped to the floor and eyes widely open when he heard Lin Hui's words. He could not believe what he is hearing.

Who is Inu?

A capable guy?

Inu is always by the lady boss's side?

Dear Lord, what about his boss?

Does his boss know about this Inu guy? Oh my God!

How will he break the news to the King of Hell?

Just when his head was about to blow up from his chaotic thoughts, the lights suddenly switch back on and brightens up the entire place.

Yue Ling felt a slight pain in her head due to the brightness and she closes her eyes to adjust them. When she opened her eyes again, she was taken back by surprise. Her brows slightly furrow, and she looks behind Lin Hui.

"Assistant Xu, why are you here?"

Her voice was calm with a soothing mixture that it sounded music to Xu Long's ears. He quickly comes back to his senses and smiles.

"Ah.. Well, you see….."

His cheeks flush and he touch his nose in awkwardness. How is he supposed to explain this to her? Should he tell her that there are bad guys after her life? No… She's a model, so that will only scare her. Guess its best to go with another excuse.

"Boss asked me to check on you since he is away."

Saying this, he finally notices the four bodies laying on the floor and he was shocked speechless.

Yue Ling looks at him and sees the tactical gears he was wearing. She felt the attire flatters him more than his usual assistant attire, but it also gave away his real reason for being here. However, she decides to not push the question further and walks out of the room.

"Let's go."

"Wroof-!"

Inu quickly follows in pursuit as he and his favorite human leave the two idiots behind in the room.

At the same time, Lin Hui sighs and pat Xu Long on the shoulder. Judging by the way Xu Long looks, he could already guess that they were prepared for what happened moments ago.

He looks at Xu Long's face and lightly tap the bottom of the man's chin.

"Close your mouth or you'll need to mop the floor."

Lin Hui doesn't wait for a response and walks out of the room.

Left alone in the room, Xu Long maintained his daze, but he didn't forget to close his mouth. It felt like an entire day had gone by before he was about to fully recover.

He slowly approaches one of the men and shook his head. A chill crawl on the back of his spine as he shivers. From one look, he could tell that the kill was lethal and fatal. He really needs to meet this Inu guy.

Suddenly, his eyes widen, and he turns around to leave the room. He quickly runs after Lin Hui, whom he forgot to ask about Inu.

"New family, wait! I need to ask—"

The moment he caught up to the other person, he was in the kitchen, but he froze in place as he stares ahead.

Standing next to him, Lin Hui was also frozen in place.

Neither men dare to utter another sound or make a move.

Some members of Wolf Team had follow Xu Long inside, but when they saw their lady boss step into the living room, they also stopped moving and looked in her direction.

Yue Ling stood in the middle of the living room and she was more dumbfounded than ever. Ignoring the group of people inside her penthouse, she stares at her living room.

The two white couches were destroyed to the point they looked like a stack of hays and the walls had holes with bullets still in them.

Like that was not enough, half of her living room is drenched with water due to the shattered floor to ceiling window.

Inu stares in disbelief at the destroyed room. However, his eyes caught sight of something in the corner, and he slowly moves away from his favorite human. He stops in front of the object and he felt like crying when he saw his once comfortable bed badly beaten up.

Grabbing it with his mouth, he drags it back to his mommy. The look on his face was adorable, but full of sadness. He places the beaten-up bed in front of Yue Ling, and howls.

"Awoooooo---!'

It was as if he was crying and saying, 'Human, look at what happened to my bed!'

Lin Hui slouch his shoulders and walks over to Inu. He felt it was his fault for not taking the little guy's bed into consideration when he took down the four men.

"Little guy, I was too reckless and couldn't save your bed. I'm so sorry."

"Grrr…."

Inu utters a low growl in response to Lin Hui. However, he looks back at his favorite human with tearful eyes and howls again.

"Awwwwoooooo—"

This time, it was as if he was saying, 'Human, my bed. My poor bed died with no justice.'

Yue Ling stares at the little guy and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Her living room is in a chaotic mess, yet, Inu's crying over his bed.

Lightly shaking her head, she squats down in front of him and she soothes the little guy's head.

"It's okay, mommy will buy you a new bed."

Inu's agonizing howl comes to an abrupt stop. His tail wags and he kisses his favorite human on the cheek before casting a glare in Lin Hui's direction.

'A peasant like you should be thankful.'

"…"

Lin Hui couldn't help but shudder at that evil glare that could kill him. However, he quickly looks away from Inu and to the door.

The sound of sudden footsteps approaches as an old man's figure enters the penthouse.

"Miss Han, are you alright?"

Manager Luo calls out with worry as his figure appears behind Wolf Team. He was covered in sweat and his breathing was rapid.

Before Lu Tian left Imperial, he was notified of the situation and even prepared a higher security on the premises. He also let Xu Long know every time Yue Ling left or entered the building, but who would have thought that the enemy toss a decoy their way and sneakily entered. The reason why he did not come see her on time was because he had to check if there was anymore enemy lurking outside.

If anything were to happen to her, it won't Lu Tian he has to worry about, it is also Old Ji. Not only that, how can he face Old Han when he goes to the afterlife.

Seeing the worried old man, Yue Ling stood up and nod her head.

"I'm alright, but…"

She looks at the messy living room and awkwardly smile.

"The living room is in quite a shock."

Manager Luo sighs in relief. He waves his hand to assure her not to worry. Placing both hands behind his back, he spoke.

"Don't worry. The clean up crew will take care of this."

The moment his last word fell, a group of men in casual clothes enter the penthouse. They look like normal cleanning workers, as each person came in with their own cleaning supplies and proceed their work.

The group separated into two. One team cleaned up the broken place, while the other team move the dead bodies.

Their reactions and movements were natural, like they had come across situations like this many times.

Lin Hui, Xu Long and Wolf Team were shocked when they saw this. They had always thought Manager Luo was an ordinary old man who owns Jade Condos, yet…

Xu Long looks at the old man, he couldn't help but find the man interesting. Even he wants to ask what the old man used to do... or still do.

Unlike the men, Yue Ling wasn't surprised. She has known Manager Luo for a long time and knows that he likes to maintain a simple life, but in the underworld and those who really know him, he is the person you call on to clean up any bloody mess.

Manager Luo walks over to Yue Ling and he smiles to her.

"Miss Han, I cannot let you stay in a messy place. I have already arranged a temporary lodging for you."

Yue Ling smiles a nod at the old man, "Uncle Luo, I will have to trouble you."

Agreeing, Manager Luo and Yue Ling walks out of her penthouse. Of course, Inu also follows in pursuit as Lin Hui and Xu Long did not waste time to do the same.

*Ding*

Outside in the hallway, Wolf Team filled the area as they all check their equipment. However, the moment Yue Ling took a step out the front door, the elevator sounds a ding as it reaches the fifteenth floor.

Her head slowly turn and through the gaps of Wolf Team in the hall, she could see the elevator door slide open. She pause in her steps and furrow her brows when the figure she is very familiar with comes to her view.
