Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Inside the only room in the abandoned factory, Yue Ling never once took her eyes off of Chu Li Xiang.

Their two figures stood across one another. The only thing in between them was the desk in the center of the room.

\"You will never be able to kill me.\"

Chu Li Xiang spat out viciously at her with eyes full of sharp daggers.

Never in his entire life had he imagine his life to end at the hands of a puny retired model.

Hearing his words, Yue Ling put on a thinking face. Her lips slightly purse, and she nods her head like she was agreeing to his words.

\"You are right. Killing you a million times will never justify what you did.\"

Chu Li Xiang wanted to retort her words, but when he met her eyes again, all he could do was swallow whatever it is he wanted to say.

He stares at her and didn't know why he is having this terrified feeling inside.

Is it because of her calm demeanor? No, maybe it is her eyes that looked like they could engulf him at this moment.

Or is it because she has Lu Tian as her backing?

Yes, that must be it.

Thinking this, his eyes shifts away from Yue Ling to the tall man standing by the door.

Lu Tian's figure is on the slimmer side, but the him at this moment looked like he had blocked the entire door.

Knowing he cannot talk his way out with Lu Tian, he looks back to Yue Ling.

\"I have money. The money inside the safe in this room combine with the two duffel bags is a total of 6 billion yuan.\"

He was reluctant to part with his money as money meant the world to him. However, this was the only choice he had left.

Yue Ling is a retired model and from his interactions with Ning Mei, he is sure Yue Ling is seeking fame and money like the rookie model.

Plus, she is Lu Tian's woman. If he wants to escape here alive, he has to convince her.

That way, if she agrees to take the money, Lu Tian will have no choice but to agree if he really does love her.

\"If you let me go, all the money is yours. I promise to never show up in front of you and I will live with this guilt my entire life for killing your unborn child.\"

He spoke his words sincerely like he meant by them. However, deep inside, he was cursing her to death.

Once he escapes from here, he will come back ten times stronger and kill the both of them. He will make them wish they never crossed his path.

As he thought this, his eyes subconsciously glance down to the desk and he see a black object. His eyes lit up and he lunges forward with his arm stretched out.

*Pu!

Just as his hand was inches away from grabbing the grip of the gun, a silent bullet collides with it.

The gun spins across the desk to the opposite end and falls onto the floor.

'Fucken shit!'

Chu Li Xiang's eyes widen before he glares at Yue Ling. He wanted to strangle the woman to death if not then bury her alive.

However, to his surprise, it was not Yue Ling who had shot the silent bullet.

His eyes avert to the other person inside the room and it was confirmed that it was Lu Tian who fired the shot.

The aloof man's right arm was raised midway and his gun aimed directly at the desk where the gun should have been.

While Chu Li Xiang was struck in a daze, Lu Tian steadily strides over to his wife. Even when he was standing next to her, his eyes never left the bastard man.

\"The place is surrounded. You have nowhere to go.\"

Chu Li Xiang was brought back to his senses hearing the deep voice of Lu Tian. He looks at Yue Ling then to the man and he felt more dread crawl inside him.

He didn't want to admit it, but Lu Tian is right. Even if he hadn't stepped outside, he can already guess that his men are all dead if not captured.

Thinking about outside, a quick idea flash inside his head.

*Crashh—

Chu Li Xiang grabs under the edge of the desk and flips the table.

As everything on top scatters onto the floor, the desk crashes against Yue Ling and Lu Tian. However, Lu Tian reacted and blocks his wife from being pinned by the desk.

*Shatter—

Quickly as the situation escalated, the sound of glass shatters and they could see Chu Li Xiang's figure jump out the only window in the room.

Unharmed, Yue Ling dashed after the man. Her eyes caught sight of a firehose attached near the window.

Grabbing hold of it, she looks out the window and toss the firehose down.

If anyone saw this, they would think Yue Ling was trying to help save the man, but that was not the case.

She twists the firehose and a part of it circles around Chu Li Xiang's neck before his feet could touch the ground below.

Now he was left hanging down from the window and both hands trying to free himself from choking.

Without thinking clearly, Yue Ling too jumps out the window as the rest of the firehose follows after.

She tugs the firehose wrapped around Chu Li Xiang's neck again. Grabbing hold of the part that is still connected to the room, her other hand grabs the nozzle.

Her right foot press against the man's chest as her other leg knees the man's stomach.

Quickly as the fall came, both their figures crash on the ground with a loud thud.

However, Yue Ling was left unscratched as Chu Li Xiang suffered the pain from the harsh impact.

\"Y-You…\"

Chu Li Xiang grunts with bloodshot eyes at the woman standing up from the fall.

Most times, others would have used the stairs and then give chase, but he did not expect her to jump out the window too.

She even used him as a shield from the fall.

Now he is really questioning whether she is really just a retired model.

Into his thoughts, he chokes a cough and a trail of blood slowly slid down the corner of his mouth.

Yue Ling stares down at the now disheveled man. Seeing that even near death, he still held a look of questioning, her lips slowly curls up.

\"Your fate ends here.\"

\"!!\"

Hearing the sudden words that made him feel like he had been electrocuted by lightning, Chu Li Xiang's eyes widen to the max as if they were going pop out of their sockets.

'Fate…'

He had been so focused on Lu Tian and her that he forgot all about Fate.

However, hearing her simple words, everything made sense now. From how she is able to shoot a gun and stare him in the eyes with no fear.

It was no wonder she gave an overpowering aura that sends shivers down his spine.

She is…

His mouth opens to say 'Mami,' but before he could utter the name, he was met with a hard kick to the face.

The clear blue sky came to his view before his eyes rolled back, and everything became dark.

Lu Tian had tossed the desk to the side and was now looking down the window.

Seeing his wife unharmed, he sighed in relief as he could see Chu Li Xiang is either dead or unconscious.

When he saw her jumped out the window, only God knew how hard his heart dropped.

Grabbing hold of the firehose that is still attached to the room, he didn't hesitate to jump down too,

Swiftly and carefully landing, he takes two big strides towards her. Stretching his arm, he grabs her and pulls her into a tight embrace.

His head rest on her shoulder and he inhales her sweet unique scent that he loves so much.

\"Stop being so reckless. I can't lose you too.\"

Being wrapped in his strong arms, Yue Ling was taken by surprise, but she felt herself soften.

She too inhales his manly scent and wrap her arms around his waist.

\"I'm sorry… I acted without thinking.\"

They had already lost their child.

The pain he is feeling is the same pain as hers.

Like how he doesn't want to lose her as she doesn't want to lose him.
