Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Chapter 610 can still save her



*Ding Dong! Ding Dong! Ding Dong!

The doorbell continue to ring, but this time more vigorously like the person behind the door was about to lose his or her life.

Yue Ling furrow her brows into a frown as she ponder in thought. It was already nearing midnight, who could it possibly be at the door?

She calmly rise from her seat and decides to go check, but a hand reach towards her and place on her shoulder.

"I'll get it."

Lu Tian gently squeeze her shoulder to make her sit and stood up. He is the man of the house, how can he let his wife open the door at the wee hour of the night?

He walks out from the kitchen and proceed in the direction of the front door. Back at the table, Liu Shan, Lin Hui and Nie Chen glance at one another before all three men stood up too.

"Boss stay here. We'll go check out who it is too."

They know that Lu Tian is a capable man and is able to take care of himself, but for the safety of their boss, they dare not make the same mistake of not protecting her well.

Walking a few steps being Lu Tian, Liu Shan was in full alert mode. He stops in front of the stairs and crouch down to hide himself.

Lin Hui remained the closest to Yue Ling. He stood behind the open wall space of the kitchen and living room but made sure he was able to get a clear view of the front door.

As the front door was not the only entrance into the house, Nie Chen walks over to the door leading to the back courtyard. Even if their attention is on the front door, they have to be cautious. Whoever it is ringing the doorbell might only be a decoy to distract them while someone else breaks in from the back door.

Yue Ling was the only one left sitting at the dining table. She stares with a complex expression as she watched each person get into their own position.

She knows that they are protective of her, but is she really that weak that she cannot take care of herself?

Lu Tian carefully looked out from the side window. When he saw the person, he reach for the door handle.

"It's alright. It's only Xu Long."

Hearing the man's deep voice sound in reassurance, the other three men relaxed and move away from their current position. At the same time, Lu Tian unlocks the door and opens it for his assistant.

"Boss!!"

The door had only opened halfway when Xu Long's panic voice cries for his boss. He pushes the door open but made sure not to hit the person who had opened the door for him.

"Boss! Are you alright?!"

He calls out again as he enters the house. His eyes frantically scans the quiet house. Even with Liu Shan, Lin Hui, and Nie Chen's figures visible in view, his panic mind scans pass them like they weren't there.

His head finally turns to the left of him and he is met with the dark eyes of the person he is looking for.

"Boss—"

"Report."

Before Xu Long could finish his words, Lu Tian cuts him off. He doesn't know why his assistant is here, but judging from his panic state of mind, it must be serious.

Hearing that one word, Xu Long straightens his spine and change into a soldier who is reporting to duty.

"I tracked boss lady's location as you ordered. I tried calling you, but you didn't answer so I came to tell you. However, when I arrived, I saw that your car door was left open."

He thought back to when he saw his boss's car door open and another wave of panic shot inside him.

"I was so worried, I thought something had happened to you."

His words fell and he finally realized that Liu Shan, Lin Hui and Nie Chen were already inside the house. However, only Yue Ling was not there.

Thinking about where her last location was, his eyes widen intensely, and he looks back at his boss.

"Boss! We have to go save boss lady. She is in the slums of Imperial where Dark Clouds is."

Lu Tian stares silently at his subordinate. He thought that something else had happened, but it turns out to be this. He heaves a long sigh aloud and shakes his head.

"It's—"

"Nooo!!!"

Before the aloof man could even say his second word, Xu Long howls an agonizing cry. From Lu Tian's expression, he (Xu Long) could only imagine the unimaginable. Could it be that they are too late? Did something bad already befall his boss lady?

His legs turn weak and he falls down his knees. He slams his fist onto the floor and sobs.

"No… No…"

He shakes his head in denial. As the person who is always gathering information for Lu Tian, he knows how Dark Clouds like to handle their victims. Anyone who is captured by them never walks back out alive.

No, he cannot think like this. With teary eyes, he lifts his head and looks up at his boss again.

"If we go now, we can still save her."

"Save who?"

From ahead, Yue Ling's angelic voice sounds as she steps out from the kitchen. She was curious as to why Lin Hui and Nie Chen were so dumbstruck.

Never did she expect to see such a scene like this.

"Save boss lady. We have to save her."

Hearing her voice, Xu Long sobs even more. He cannot believe that at a time like this, he would be hearing her voice. If anything happens to her, who will save him and Wolf Team from Lu Tian's wrath?

Just as he thought this, his teary eyes dried up in seconds and he looks away from Lu Tian to the person he thought was in trouble. His mouth slowly opens until his jaw dropped to the floor.

"B-b-boss l-l-lady …"

He thought that she had been kidnapped by the beggars of Dark Clouds. However, here she is, standing tall and healthy with no harm done to her.

His face distorted and he wails like a little child. Getting up on his two feet, he runs over to her to make sure this wasn't some kind of dream.

"Ack—!"

He had only stood up when the back of his shirt is yanked with force by Lu Tian. He sounds a choke and stumbles back until he fell on his bottom.

At the same time, Liu Shan jumps in front of Xu Long and blocks him from getting near Yue Ling, while Lin Hui and Nie Chen move to stand in front of her.

Their behavior were like warriors protecting their princess from a dangerous predator.

Liu Shan: "Bro, that wasn't cool."

Lin Hui: "How can you attempt such a move when your boss is standing right there?"

Nie Chen: "Don't mind me. I've always been protective of Yue Ling."

Xu Long: "…"

Lu Tian ignores his assistant and walks over to his wife. He knows that Xu Long meant no harm, but the thought of any other man trying to get near his wife is unacceptable.

"Are you alright? Did he scare you?"

He asks as he stops in front of his wife. He wasn't sure if his assistant's sudden dramatic arrival scared her or not.

Yue Ling was left speechless at what is happening. She looks up at Lu Tian then to the other four men then back to Lu Tian. A smile curls on her lip and she nods her head.

"I'm fine, but…"

She pause in her words and looks over to Xu Long. Seeing how pitiful the assistant looked, she could only sigh inside.

"It's getting late, lets hurry and finish dinner."
