Chapter 566 wake you up
The next day came as Lu Tian woke up before the sun rose in the sky. He adjusts his vision to the darkness as the room was still dark due to the earliness of the morning.
Like every other morning, he slowly sits up and move the blanket. Not wanting to wake up his wife, he steadily walks towards the bathroom to get himself ready for his early morning run.
Once he finishes and changed into a set of running clothes, he walks back to the bed. Before he leaves, he would always kiss his wife good morning.
However, just as he took a step out from the bathroom, the light he had yet to turn off lit up half of the room and he finally noticed that his wife was not in bed. He heaves a sigh and fold his arms over his chest as he turns to face the bed.
"Where is my wife?"
The figure laying on Yue Ling's side of the bed was not her but Inu. The Samoyed had a blanket covering him and made it look like there was a figure underneath the blanket.
Inu remained unmoving as his head was the only thing visible to view. He stares directly back at his enemy like he wanted to have another round of staring contest. However, hearing Lu Tian's words, he jumps down from the bed as his cover has been blown.
Like a Samoyed with a fierce attitude, he held his head high and walks pass the man with a majestic demeanor. Everything about him said 'Like I would tell you.'
Lu Tian watched dumbfoundedly as the little fluffball walk pass him. He purse his lip in question before he quickly thought of something. Turning to look at Inu, he sighs aloud.
"Well… Since you don't want to tell me, I guess I can only go run by myself today."
Like a little beast who understood the human language, Inu falters in his steps. His head slowly lowers, and he groans a whimper in frustration.
"Wroof… wroof." 'Fine… You win.'
He leaves the room with a sad expression. He loves his favorite human, but he also loves going on run with the evil peasant.
The corners of Lu Tian's lip curls up into a smile like someone who had won an argument. He leisurely follows after Inu to where his wife is.
As the big and little figures nears the stairs, a delicious aroma enters Lu Tian's nose. His brows slightly furrow, and he looks down at Inu, who had also stopped walking.
"She's…"
He (Inu) looks up at the evil peasant for a quick second before continuing for the stairs. The look on his face was as if saying 'Well, there goes your morning surprise.'
Like he could understand the little white fluffball, Lu Tian lift his hand and pinch the space between his brows. Instead of showing frustration, he lets out a low chuckle before carrying on with his steps to the stairs.
The two arch nemesis soon reach the first floor and headed straight for the kitchen like they were having a race. However, Inu being faster, he beat Lu Tian to the kitchen.
As Lu Tian arrives not long after the little guy, he found himself slowing in his steps. He couldn't help but lean against the open wall that separated the kitchen and living room. Without saying a word, he only stares at the scene in front of him.
Yue Ling stood in front of the sink with her back turned to Lu Tian. She had woken up early to prepare breakfast for the man as he has been doing all the cooking. Not wanting him to exhaust himself, she decided she will do the cooking since she is not going back to work yet.
She even planned with Inu to sleep on her side, so when Lu Tian wakes up, he will think she is still sleeping. Of course, unbeknown to her, her plan had already failed.
Finished washing the vegetables, she set them aside on a plate and walks over to the stove. She had already started cooking the congee as the rice needed time to soften before serving.
"Ah!"
Just as she took two steps away from the sink, she jumped in surprise as a pair of strong arms wrap around her waist.
She wanted to turn around and face the person, but she felt the arms tighten more and the top of the person's head comes to view as Lu Tian rest his forehead on her shoulder.
Left with no room to escape, Yue Ling faintly smiles and tilt her head to lean against the man.
"Did I wake you up? Was I too loud?"
Hearing her words, Lu Tian doesn't move an inch. He inhales her sweet scent that he loves so much then slowly lift his head. However, he doesn't let go of her. He place a kiss on her temple then leans closer to her ear.
"I like it when you're loud."
"…"
Yue Ling's cheeks flustered until it was as red as a tomato. She could not believe that it is so early in the morning and Lu Tian is already acting so shameless.
She clears her throat to calm herself and wiggle within his arms to turn herself to look at him. She tilt her head back to look up at him and brows furrow together.
"Tian, why are you—ah!"
Before she could finish her words, Lu Tian suddenly picks her up and sat her on top of the empty counter space. She was caught by surprise and wanted to say more, but when her eyes met his, he was already leaning towards her.
His lips brush against her, but not like the usual pecks he did during the past few weeks. This time, his kiss was like tease filled with hot, fiery, passionate, and demanding as if he was longing for her.
"Yue Ling…"
His raspy voice whispers her name through the gaps of their kiss making Yue Ling's heart flutter into cloud nine.
No matter how long they've been together, she always love the way he spoke her name. A tone so dangerous that it sends a chill down her spine, but at the same time, it held sweetness and made her feel safe.
She place her palms on his broad chest. Not to push him away, but as if he to feel he is really here with her.
Subconsciously moving her hands up, she wraps her arms around his neck and returns the kiss. This time, she initiated the move as her tongue search for his.
Lu Tian does not open his eyes, but his brows arch up in surprise. A low groan escapes his lips and he deepens their kiss more like a hungry wolf. He place one palm on her back as his other moves to hold the back of her head.
*Ssssss—!
