Standing by the door to Yue Ling"s office stood Lu Tian"s tall figure clothe in black. He had left Lu Corps right after his meetings ended.
The sky looked like it would rain soon, so he wanted to get his wife home as soon as possible.
Except when he arrived, he met Liu Shan on the way in as the a.s.sistant was leaving home. He was then directed to come up without escort, which he did not mind.
However, he did not expect to come across a scene like this. It was like neither woman were at work, but at home enjoying themselves in a conversation with tea.
Sometimes, he wonders about how his wife treats her workers. Unlike most companies, they would have to maintain a professional image, but for some reason, he feels that its rather more relaxed here.
Into his thoughts, he hears her ask what he was doing here. Looking at her, he steps into her office and walks over to grab her handbag.
"I"m here to take home."
By chance, he sees Ju Suo"s love struck face lost in her own world. He furrow his brows then looks to his wife.
"Did I come at a wrong time?"
Yue Ling chuckles and shook her head, "You"re fine. She"s just sick."
Lu Tian furrow his brows more in confusion. Staring at his wife who is now putting on her coat, he couldn"t help but ask.
"Sick?"
Just as Yue Ling was b.u.t.toning her wool coat, she heard his word. Glancing at Ju Suo, she walks over to Lu Tian and place her arm around his left arm.
Leaning closer to him, she smiles a whisper as was a high school girl telling the biggest secret.
"Lovesick."
However, that whisper did not escape Lian Ni Shang"s ears. Her usual cold facial expression suddenly shatters as she tries to hold in her laugh.
Yue Ling looks back at Lian Ni Shang and chuckles.
"I"ll be leaving first. Once she recovers, take her home and lock my office."
"Yes, boss."
Lian Ni Shang quickly replies with a smile. Until Yue Ling and Lu Tian were no longer in the room, she turn to look down at the woman.
"Really Ju Suo? You had to go and brag to everyone?"
The moment this woman came back from her date, she bragged about it to everyone. She said that Jiangyu is the most handsome man she has ever seen, even his muscles were so alluring that she almost pounce on him like a hungry lion.
Ju Suo sat up and glares at the cold face woman. She flicks her hair and snort.
"Ni Shang ah, you will know when you fall in love. No one and nothing matters."
Saying this, she touch her chin and grins with evil eyes to the woman.
"How about you try expressing your love~ to Shan Sinan? I noticed lately that you two have been working side by side together. Hoho~."
"Y-You!"
Lian Ni Shang"s face turned crimson red hearing Ju Suo"s words. She wanted to refute the woman but was unable to say anything.
That is because she does harbor feelings for the textile designer. Only she isn"t sure if he would like her back. That is why she hasn"t confessed her feelings all these years.
However, lately they have been working together. Maybe she should tell him her feelings and get it over with.
Unaware of the love conversation taking place in her office, Yue Ling sat in the pa.s.senger seat of Lu Tian"s car as they drive home.
"Are you free tomorrow evening?"
Lu Tian suddenly asks as he stares ahead to the road. His father had said he can bring Yue Ling to Grandfather Ji"s birthday, so he wants to ask her first.
"I will be attending my friend"s birthday. He more like a father to me than a friend, but I want you to go with me."
Glancing at the man, Yue Ling pondered in thoughts. His friend"s birthday? She would love to go but…
She sighs inside and shook her head.
"I also have a birthday event to go tomorrow."
The moment she spoke her words, she could see a disappointed look on Lu Tian"s face. She sighs again but this time aloud and decides to explain to him.
"This person is very important to me like family. I cannot miss his birthday."
Although she spoke her words, she truly regrets that Lu Tian has to attend another event. She had promised to bring him to meet her yeye. However, seems like it will have to wait until after.
Hearing her explanation, Lu Tian nod his head. He held her hand and decides to tell her the real reason for him going.
"I wish you could go with me. My parents want me to meet his granddaughter."
Yue Ling arch a brow at his words. So does that mean that his parents are not sure about their relations.h.i.+p?
Knowing what she was thinking, he chuckles and explains.
"My parents love you just as much as I do. However, they want me and Han to meet this granddaughter out of respect."
"Ah, I see."
Yue Ling"s head slowly nod in understanding. It is indeed normal for one"s children to meet the children of those they know.
She smiles to him and rea.s.sures him of how she feels.
"It is something your parents asked, so you should go and meet her. I will be fine since I have to attend an event."
Saying this, she leans toward his and rest her head on his shoulder as he drives.
"I have enough trust in you to let you go and meet another woman."
"…"
Lu Tian was praising his wife"s understanding temperament in his head, but when he heard her last words, he was dumbfounded.
Why did she it make it sound like he is a man who often changes woman like he changes his s.h.i.+rt? Does he look like Lu Han?
----------------------------------------------------
"Acchhhooooo—!!"
In a private room of a nightclub, Lu Han was just starting to enjoy his night with his friends. However, just when he was about to take a sip of his drink, he suddenly sneezed.
Rubbing his nose, his eyes scan the people in the room.
Who could be talking about him?
Suddenly, he sees the beauty sitting next to him and he was dumbfounded. When he sneezed, he had accidentally poured his drink onto her. Not only the drink but he even sneezed on her!
G.o.d have mercy on whoever it is that is talking behind his back!!!
----------------------------------------------------
Through the streets of Imperial, Lu Tian"s car drove until it stopped in front of their new house. Going inside, the couple shared a lovely homecooked dinner and then cleaned themselves for good night"s rest.
As neither is aware that tomorrow will be a big day full of surprises for not only them but everyone. Especially to the families of Yue Ling and Lu Tian.
