Rays of light stream into the bedroom making it is a nice welcome in the early morning.
Yue Ling slowly open her eyes from her good night sleep, but due to the brightness of the bedroom, she covers her eyes as she adjust her sight.
She suddenly feels Lu Tian"s steady breathing on her neck and she was slightly taken by surprise.
Turning her head to look at him, she smile at how charming he looks even when sleeping. His arms are wrap around her keeping her warm and comfortable.
She gently and carefully touch his face to remind her that he is here with her and yesterday was real.
Due to her sudden gesture, Lu Tian"s hand caught hers, however his eyes remain close. He pulls her in closer to him and nudge his head against her.
"It"s still early, sleep some more."
Hearing his words, Yue Ling did not struggle, but pout her lip. It"s still early?
Isn"t he"s the one who is always up before her.
Glancing down at him, she smiles at how he looks like a little school boy who doesn"t want to wake up for school.
She also wants to sleep in, but there are still many things she needs to do.
Slowly, she moves his arm around her waist and gets out of bed.
However, Lu Tian doesn"t make a sound, but put his leg on top of her and pulls her back in his arms. His head snuggles against her again.
"....."
Yue Ling was dumbfounded. She laid in bed and stare up at the white ceiling with no where to go. Her eyes wonder around and she tries to think of a way to escape Lu Tian"s grasp.
Without her realizing, she was constantly making sighs aloud when she thought of a way, but knows it wouldn"t work.
Hearing her continuous sighs, Lu Tian sneakily smile and he decides to get up.
He rest his head on his palm and looks at his wife. Seeing how complex she looks for not being able to get up, he let"s out a chuckle.
"Seems like I need to exhaust you more next time."
His voice early in the morning sounded hoa.r.s.e, but arousing at the same time.
"..."
Yue Ling froze on the bed at his words. She struggle a gulp and robotically turn her head to look at him.
Seeing his mischievous smirk, she force a sarcastic laugh to hide her beating heart.
"Tian, I am exhausted, but I need to get up for work."
Lu Tian pout his lip and frown a little. He s.h.i.+fts their position and pull his wife under him.
He looks down at her and captures her lip then pulls back.
"If possible, I would prefer you stay home."
A sigh escapes his mouth and he moves away from his wife but he made sure his arms were wrap around her.
"However, that would be selfish of me."
Hearing his words, Yue Ling couldn"t help but feel her heart melt.
Most women dream to stay home and have a man do the work, but she doesn"t see their life that way.
She wants an equal relations.h.i.+p between the two of them.
One is not superior than the other and one not inferior. Just two individuals who love one another and see eye to eye.
She looks at Lu Tian and gives him a quick kiss, then she swiftly escapes his grasp and gets out of bed to head for the bathroom.
"...."
Left on the bed, Lu Tian was not bother that his wife had escape him. His eyes follow her every step until her figure disappears into the bathroom.
When the bathroom door close, he sigh and stare up at the white ceiling of their room.
In the past, women surround him everyday, but he never cared. His disgust with women grew more because he knows that they only want his wealth.
Plus, after he took over Lu Corps, he never bothered to look for a wife. To him, women were a nuisance and they require too much attention. He doesn"t have time to cater to them.
However....
He met her by chance and she was different.
Everything she does makes him more and more attracted to her.
It"s not her who asks for attention, but him who wants to give her attention.
She doesn"t ask to be spoiled, but he wants to spoil her.
How she is, is what makes him love everything about her..
Thinking about it, he softly chuckle at the fact that his wife must not even know his family background. Then again, when they first met, she didn"t ask him, nor did she bother to care about his income.
His thoughts suddenly switch to her past and his expression turn emotionless.
If she is the granddaughter of Fate"s leader, then that means his wife is very well known in the underworld.
His eyes dim dangerously and he sits up.
From his time working in the dark, he knows that Fate is a notorious gang, but they are different from other gangs in the underworld. There is never a crime that relates to Fate. However, being someone from the underworld, one must always be careful.
He looks at the shut bathroom door and coldness flash in his eyes.
Doctor Xie is scheming man, but easy to deal with.
His main focus now is Black Dragon.
Chu Qiang may not be an issue, but Chu Li Xiang on the other hand is different and the man is still on the loose somewhere in Imperial.
Thinking of the danger that surrounds his wife, Lu Tian swore inside, no matter what happens in the future, he will do everything within his powers to keep his wife and child safe.
Moving the blanket, Lu Tian stands up and walks toward the bathroom.
Even if she is the leader of Fate and has capable people around her, she is his wife before anything and anyone else.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Outside of De L"amour, Lu Tian"s white Aston Martin parks in the front. Pa.s.sersby admire the car and wonder to who the owner is. However one could look in because in that instant, the pa.s.senger door opens.
"Thank you for dropping me off, I"ll see you later."
Yue Ling quickly gives Lu Tian a kiss and steps out of the car. She waves goodbye to the man and turns around.
She knows that if she does not do this, who knows what other shamelessness would he do to her.
Ignoring all the curious stares from people, Yue Ling makes her way for the door as if running from the devil. She doesn"t like public scenes, so it"s better to get out of view.
From inside the car, Lu Tian chuckle a laughter at his wife. He shook his head and switch the gear from park to drive.
"Vrrroooooooom-!"
Just as he switch the s.h.i.+ft gear, the sound of a motorcycle pulls up behind him. Glancing at the rearview mirror, he sees a man clothe in a black leather jacket and blue jeans.
The man parks the motorcycle and takes his helmet off. Locking it in place with the motorcycle, the man heads toward De L"amour, however, only taking one step, he stops.
Seeing Lu Tian"s white sports car, he looks at the driver through the pa.s.senger window.
At the same time, Lu Tian also looks indifferently at the man.
Both individual stare at one another as if they are holding a staring contest. Neither could read what the other person is thinking, except the intense aura coming out from each person.
"Qi Li!!"
In that moment, a voice calls out to Qi Li causing him to look away from the business king.
The person stops next to Qi Li and looks around.
"Eh? Who are you staring so intensely at?"
Qi Li looks at the person and seeing who it is, he looks back to Lu Tian, but the once parked white car had already driven away.
His brows furrow and he looks at the person standing next to him.
"Liu Shan, is boss really in a relations.h.i.+p with that man?"
From the side, Liu Shan takes a bite on his toast, but when he hears Qi Li"s question, he pause with his mouth widely open.
"Ah..."
He lower the toast from his mouth and stretch his head out to the busy street. Seeing the back of Lu Tian"s car, he arch a brow then shrug his shoulder with a long sigh.
"Together or not, it"s boss"s decision. However from my perspective, I think that man is rather suitable for boss."
Liu Shan takes a bit of his toast and without much thinking, he makes his way toward De L"amour.
"Hurry up, we can discuss about this later, right now boss wants to see us."
Qi Li takes one last look at the back of Lu Tian"s car that is getting further away. His expression is emotionless and one that someone cannot read what he is thinking.
Looking away, he follows after Liu Shan and both men enter De L"amour.
Inside, Yue Ling is already in her office. Sitting behind her desk, her finger flips the pages inside a folder as she reads each line.
*knock knock*
A knock sounds behind the door before it is push open.
Stepping inside, both Liu Shan and Qi Li enters the room.
Qi Li doesn"t say a word, but walk towards the couch and sits down. However, following behind, Liu Shan is the opposite.
He drag his legs to the couch and lazily sits down.
"Boss, why are you calling us here? I thought we are suppose to enjoy time off before the fas.h.i.+on show?"
Yue Ling glance up at the two men, but she doesn"t answer Liu Shan.
She stands up from her seat and walks over to sit on the couch across from them.
She set the folder in her hand down on the table and leans back on the backrest.
"Any information on Chu Li Xiang?"
