As Yue Ling finished telling Qin Yi and Fei Tao the incident about Chu Li Xiang"s escape and the car accident, neither individual could speak a word.
Qin Yi was quietly sobbing as her hand often raise to wipe her tears with her handkerchief. She wasn"t crying for anything else other than the misfortune that fell on Yue Ling.
Just hearing the story was enough to make her heart nearly stop as the pain was too unbearable.
Seated next to the middle-aged woman, Fei Tao press his lips tightly together. His hands clench into tights fists and his expression turned dark.
"Chu. Li. Xiang."
He growls through his clench teeth as it made his body tremble in ma.s.s anger.
"Son of a b.i.t.c.h! Just wait until I catch him! I"m going to mince him and feed him to my pets! No, even my pets won"t want to eat him. Better yet, I"m going to cut him into 100 pieces!"
He had left Imperial four years ago because he needed to take care of some things. Although he didn"t get to see Yue Ling when she left the underworld, he still paid attention to her as the model.
When news spread that she finally revealed herself as the designer of De L"amour, he was extremely happy for her. He came back to Imperial to congratulate her, but never did he expect that within the short amount of time he hasn"t seen her, so much had happened.
s.h.i.+n"s death was already enough, yet, her unborn child was still taken from her.
His breathing turned heavy like he had turn into a Spanish bull ready to attack.
"I"ll find him for you. I"ll make sure all his limbs are cut off."
Yue Ling stares at the young man and she sighs inside. Seeing him energetic as always, it lets her know that he must have been doing great the past four years since she saw him.
Her slightly shook and spoke, "Thank you, but everything is under control."
Just as her words fell, the corners of her lip curls up as her teeth shows. She stood up and walks towards the door to the room.
"Why are you here?"
Hearing her sudden question that was not directed at them, Qin Yi and Fei Tao turn their head in the same direction to see who it was.
Standing by the door was none other than the cold and ruthless King of Jealousy.
Seeing the man whom many fear, Qin Yi"s eyes that were moist quickly dried. Next to her, Fei Tao abruptly stood up and his eyes flash with alarm as he became on guard.
After Lu Tian and Li Wei finished their discussion, both men went their own way. Lu Tian came to find his wife while Li Wei left Fate.
Lu Tian was eating vinegar how his wife forgot about him. However, the moment he stepped into the room and saw her smile that always makes his heart flutter, all the feelings he had seconds ago disperse.
It was as if he was never eating vinegar at all.
Lifting his leg, he walks forward to meet her as she to him.
"I came to find you."
Yue Ling"s brows arch at his words, but quickly remembering what she had told him before the meeting, she force a chuckle.
She wanted to explain why she didn"t go find him, but before she could make a sound, Fei Tao rushes to her and pulls her behind him.
At the same time, Qin Yi did the same as the boy. Her eyes dimmed dangerously as she will do whatever to protect Yue Ling.
Fei Tao: "Don"t go near him, he"s a bad man."
Qin Yi: "With me here, I want to see how he dares to capture you."
Both individuals turned deadly serious. They have heard all about Lu Tian.
The man highly known for capturing many from the underworld.
The man who"s name alone can kill a person.
How did he get inside Fate? Is he here to capture Yue Ling?
Lu Tian was dumbfounded when he heard the two people. However, his expressionless face did not show any sighs of change seeing them.
His dark pupil stares at them like he did with everyone who is not his wife.
How dare these people keep his wife away from him? Who do they think they are?
All he wanted was to be near his wife. Is that so hard to ask? Not having her by his side for one second is like one year without her.
He"s here to capture his wife? Of course. He"s going to capture her and chain her to his side.
Behind the two people, Yue Ling did not know what to think at all. She heaves a sigh as one hand fist on her hip and the other reach to pinch the s.p.a.ce between her brows.
She is indeed grateful that Qin Yi and Fei Tao are still overly protective of her, but never did she expect them to act this way towards her man.
Lowering her hand from her face, she squeeze through the two leaders who had suddenly turn into her bodyguards.
"Alright, that"s enough. Everything is fine. He is not here to capture me."
She had to make it clear since the only people in the underworld who knows about her relations.h.i.+p with Lu Tian is Li Wei and Chu Qiang.
Walking to stand on the left of the tall man, she turns to look at Qin Yi and Fei Tao. Her right-hand reach to hold Lu Tian"s hand and she slightly raise her left hand to show her s.h.i.+ny ring.
"He"s my man and we"re getting married."
Qin Yi and Fei Tao were struck speechless hearing her sudden words. Their jaw turned heavy and their mouth slowly open until both people were left with a wide O.
Her man? Engage? How? When?
Seeing the young and old"s expression, Yue Ling couldn"t help but chuckle. She turns to look at Lu Tian and pulls him toward the couch.
"Come, let"s sit. They"ll wake up from their shock soon."
Being pulled by her, Lu Tian looks away from Qin Yi and Fei Tao. The dark aura around him quickly disappears and he obliges to his wife"s command like a loyal puppy.
However, he couldn"t get her words out of his head. This is the first time she actually announced him as her man. Can he hear it one more time?
As the couple walk towards the couch, Qin Yi and Fei Tao slowly turn their head to follow like they were robots. Neither could get Yue Ling"s words out of their ears at all.
Especially the image of her showing the ring on her finger.
L"amour de ma vie.
The ring solely meant for one"s true love.
While Qin Yi and Fei Tao had yet to come to their senses, Yue Ling sat down and pulls her future husband down to sit next to her.
A wide and captivating smile curls on her lip that reached her eyes. She had forgotten about him, but since he has come to her, she will act like she didn"t forget.
"Did I make you wait long?"
Lu Tian had just sat down when he heard her question. If he can, he wanted to roll his eyes at her for thinking he couldn"t see through her. However, since she is the person he loves, he will always go along with her.
"No, I just wanted to see you, so I came down to find you."
He leans back on the couch and cross one leg over the other in a four figure.
"How did it go?"
Seeing that he is letting her off, Yue Ling couldn"t help but chuckle. However, thinking back to the meeting, she sneers.
"Gao Jie is the only person who will stay in contact with Chu Li Xiang."
Lu Tian nods his head in understanding. The cameras set up in Fate are also voice recorded, so he was able to hear the entire meeting.
"What about Steelhead, will he leak this out?"
Lifting a hand to touch her chin, Yue Ling thought back to the middle-aged man"s reaction during the meeting.
She shrugs one shoulder and spoke without care.
"Whether he warns Chu Li Xiang or not doesn"t matter. He has pulled back at the last moment. He knows that if he had stuck with Chu Li Xiang and Gao Jie, he would end up like them."
Lu Tian listens to his wife until the end. He doesn"t say anything but continue to stare at her.
When he first met her, he thought she was an innocent and pure woman who needed a man"s protection. However, that was not the case.
She is as fearless as a tiger.
Of course, this doesn"t mean that he will sit and watch her get into danger. No matter how strong she is, he will forever protect her.
