Liu Shan"s black car pulls up into the metal gate until it slows into a stop in front of the white structure house with dark roof tiling.
Looking at it, he couldn"t help but s.h.i.+ver despite its dream like aura. Unlike the last time he came here, the house now somehow gave off an eerie and gloomy feeling. The feeling you get when you"re a character in a movie and came across Dracula"s castle.
He s.h.i.+vers again with gooseb.u.mps and turn his head to look at his boss.
"Will… Boss, will you be alright?"
He knows that Lu Tian loves his boss, but as of right now, its still too early to tell how much he loves her. After all, there are humans in the world who can love someone for a minute and hate them the next.
Yue Ling stares at her a.s.sistant and shook her head. From his expression, she could already guess what he was thinking.
"I"ll be fine. Tian won"t take all my blood."
She chuckles softly and steps out of the car.
"Go home and enjoy your time off."
Without waiting for a response, she closes the door and turn to the house. Looking at it, she held tightly onto her bag and lift her leg to walk forward.
Lu Tian will never do anything to hurt her, but the thing she is most afraid of is when he gets jealous.
The man can eat millions of jars of vinegars all at once.
Stopping in front of the double doors, she reach inside her handbag for the housekey.
Unlocking to the door, her righthand held onto the door handle and her left hand gently caress her stomach.
"Baby… Pray with mommy that daddy didn"t eat any vinegar."
Taking a deep breath, she push the door open and enters the house.
Upon entering, she does not see Lu Tian anywhere and sighs in relief. Quietly closing the door, she changed out of her shoes into house slippers and carried on.
Her movements were as quiet as a mouse with no sound heard. However, she felt as if she was an unfaithful wife who had snuck out in the middle of the night to enjoy a night of drinking and partying.
Gently setting her handbag down on a side table, she continues inside without realizing she was holding in her breath. At the same time, she stares at the newly placed furniture and decorations inside the house.
After the fas.h.i.+on show ended, Lu Tian didn"t drive them back to Jade Condos, instead, he drove them here.
At first, she was confused as to why he would bring them to an empty house, but once they arrived, she was surprised to see the once empty house fully furnished.
While she was preparing for the fas.h.i.+on show, he had hired movers to set up furniture inside. He also had Manager Luo have his men move both their belongings from Jade Condos to here.
The most surprising part was to see everything neatly set up all in one day.
Like a person on an expedition tour, Yue Ling steps into the s.p.a.cious living room.
Unlike its emptiness from before, there were two long white sofas across from each other. Separating the two was a rather large gla.s.s top coffee table with gold legs.
Staring at the setup of the living room, she sighed in relief that it was not dark furnitures like Lu Tian"s penthouse. If it had been, the gloomy feeling she felt outside would indeed coordinate well with the inside.
Enjoying herself for a quick second, she suddenly froze in place.
The living room is indeed bright with the sunlight from the windows, but why does she feel there is a dark aura coming from behind her? Is she thinking too much?
However, just as she thought this, she could only close her eyes and take a deep breath. With a struggle gulp, she opens her eyes to turn around.
Through the huge open gap that connects the living room and the dining room, there, stood the King of Jealousy.
Her shoulders slightly slouch and she grins to him with her teeth.
"Ah, Tian. How long have you been standing there?"
Lu Tian stood slightly leaning against the long dining table with eyes staring directly at her. His expression was like a husband who had caught his wife returning home after sneaking out the night before.
Hearing her question, he lift his left arm and check the time on his watch.
"I"ve been standing here before the food turned cold."
"…"
Yue Ling"s eyes turned heavy seeing his gesture. She blinks a few times and kept a straight face to hold back her lip from curling into a smile. Doing so, she clears her throat and points to him.
"How long?"
Lu Tian sighs aloud and checks the time again. However, the moment his left hand raised, and his head lowered, his ears turned crimson red.
He had forgotten to wear his watch!
Stealing a glance at his wife, he sees her head slightly tilt as if waiting for an answer, but he could also see how hard she is trying to hold back her smile.
Calmly lowering his hand, he moves it behind him as if to hide something. Turning to look at the wall clock, he looks back at her as if nothing had happened.
"Ten minutes."
He kept a cool and indifferent expression, but Yue Ling could see his ears still red from embarra.s.sment.
"Pfft!!"
Unable to hold herself back, Yue Ling burst into laughter and walks toward him.
Seeing the many colorful dishes, she decides to stop teasing him. Clasping her palms together, she grin from ear to ear.
"Wow! You made all of this for lunch?"
At the sight of her face full of smiles, Lu Tian felt his heart softened. Even he doesn"t understand why being apart from her for only a few hours can make him miss her so much.
However, he is willing to do anything to see her smile like this every day.
Of course, he will only show her this side of him, because it is her and not anyone else.
Yue Ling stops in front of the dining table and the delicious aroma of each dish enters her nostrils. From the smell, she can tell the dishes will be just as tasty.
"Ahh—"
Before she could move to sit down on a chair, Lu Tian suddenly reach an arm out and pulls her closer to him. Although it happened so fast, he made sure to do it as gently as possible and not use too much strength.
"Tian, what are— mff!"
He cuts her remaining words by pressing his lips onto her soft ones.
Feeling the touch of her, he sighs a low groan full of satisfying. His other hand moves to hold the back of her head and he deepens the kiss.
Until she was almost out of breath, he reluctantly pulls away, but with his arm still wrap around her.
Seeing how flush her face is now, he smiles down to her and kiss her forehead.
"I"ll heat up the food."
Releasing his hold on her, he reach for the dishes and walked in the direction of the kitchen with a smile he never knew he could make until he met her.
He came to decision that every time he sees her, he must get at least one kiss. Even if he has to steal it.
