Unexpected Second Chance at Love Chapter 181 I won’t ask

————
Inside a silver Mercedes, a blonde hair woman sat in the driver seat. She angrily hits the steering wheel, then turning her head, her eyes glare at the box on the passenger seat. The things inside were all her belongings from her office.
"Damn you, Han Yue Ling. I will make you pay for this!"
Qian Li Li's breathing turned rapid, she could not believe she had been fire. Thinking about how Lu Tian treated her because of Yue Ling, Jealousy rouse in her. Angry, she grabs her bag and starts rummaging through to get her phone. She quickly dials a number and put the phone to her ear.
The call rang five times before a man's voice answer from the other line. He sounded like he was busy with something and annoyed.
["What do you want?"]
Hearing the voice, Qian Li Li's expression quickly calms down. Although the man answered in a rude way, he is the only one who can help her now. Using her most softest voice, she spoke into the phone.
"Let's meet up tonight."
["Why should I meet you?"]
Qian Li Li sneers inside. Every time she calls this man, his tone of voice was always one that looked down on her. Her eyes dimmed as a sinister smirk appear in her face.
"I know where you can meet Han Yue Ling."
["You saw her? Where?"]
Hearing the man's tone change into one of joy, Qian Li Li sneer in annoyance. Just the name mentioned was enough to arouse the man's interests. However, she can't let this chance slide. If she can get rid of Han Yue Ling for good, Lu Tian will be her's.
"Meet me at Imperial Hotel tonight at 8pm."
["....."]
Qian Li Li frown when she heard sudden silence. The man did not answer her, could he have....
["Fine."]
With a smile on her face, Qian Li Li's heart jumped in joy. Parting her lip, she wanted to add a few more words, but the man had already hung up.
Moving the phone from her ear, she looks at the black screen and scoff. Tossing her phone onto an empty spot on the passenger seat, she starts her car and drives out of the Lu Corps parking garage.
'Han Yue Ling, this is all your fault.'

Inside Lu Tian's office, the atmosphere was very dark and cold. Xu Long stood in front of his boss's desk as sweat form on his forehead. With his shoulders slouching, he glance at the indifferent, yet extremely handsome man reading a folder.
"Boss....."
Lu Tian calmly set the folder down and looks up at his assistant.
"Have you set a meeting with H International?"
Xu Long raise his hand and wipes away the sweat on his forehead. Taking a big gulp, he forces a smile.
"A-about that... you see, I informed H International, but it seems their CEO is not there. The secretary said, she will let H International's CEO know then give us an answer soon."
Lu Tian frown hearing his assistant. He glance down at the folder then he nod his head.
"Mm. Report back when you've got confirmation from them. That's all."
"..."
Xu Long's jaw dropped to the ground. Not believing what he just heard, he dig both his ears to make sure he was hearing correctly. His boss is actually willing to wait!! There has never been a time where his boss waits on anyone. It was always others waiting on his boss!!
Good lord, what's going to happen to the world?!
Realizing something, his eyes shot open.
Oh god! This is serious! His boss is very very serious on proposing to Han Yue Ling!
Thinking of something, Xu Long straightens his posture and pat his chest with determination.
"Boss! I, Xu Long will not fail you in this important mission!"
He quickly turns around and leaves the room. He has to do everything in his capabilities to get his boss to meet H International's CEO. If this mission fails, who knows what kind of wrath his boss will unleash upon this innocent world.
"..."
Lu Tian watched dumbfounded at his assistant. He can't but wonder how Xu Long will get a girlfriend with his weird personality. Shaking his head, he leans back on his chair and ponder in thoughts.
If it was something else, he would definitely not wait, but this L'amour de ma vie ring is very important. It plays the most important part in his proposal to Yue Ling.
Glancing at the folder on his desk, he sighs. Xu Long had brought in a report about his wife. She was spotted at An Qing and everything went viral on the internet. The only good thing was, she was able to leave before the news reporters arrived.
As much as he wants to keep her to himself, he knows she has her life too. Especially since she is a fashion designer, her career path is far different from his.
But, the most important thing now is to plan how he's going to propose to his future wife.

"Boss...."
Liu Shan spoke hesitantly as he parks his car in De L'amour's parking lot.
Ju Suo looks at Liu Shan, then to her boss. Knowing this is not her business, she gets out of the car and walks toward De L'amour. She still has a lot of things to do.
"What is it?"
Sitting in the back seat, Yue Ling looks at Liu Shan with her arms cross over her chest. She could sense something different about him ever since the morning. However, she just couldn't pinpoint it.
Liu Shan takes a deep breath and turn his body slightly around to look at Yue Ling.
"Can I ask to leave work early?"
Yue Ling arch a brow at Liu Shan's question. Ever since he's worked for her, he's never once asked to leave work early. Narrowing her eyes, she looks at her assistant with a suspicious expression.
Seeing his boss's look, Liu Shan stutters on his words, "B-Boss, it's like t-this.. I need t-to—"
"Is it a woman?"
"..."
Liu Shan was flabbergasted. He hadn't even explained and his boss already knows. Did she spy on him? Wait, was it written on his face? Didn't he hide it well?
"Don't worry, I won't ask who the woman is, just make sure you come in to work tomorrow."
Without waiting, Yue Ling opens the door and gets out of the car. She still has a lot of things to do. Like, visit Ting at the hospital, check why she has a headache and get the information Lin Hui should have gathered.
Leaving behind a dumbfounded Liu Shan inside his car, Yue Ling enters De L'amour. She is happy for Liu Shan, especially since it's been a very long time since she's last seen him like this.
When they first met in America, Liu Shan had just broken up with his girlfriend of 3 years. Her reason leaving him was because he didn't have a high paying job to buy her designer brand names. She told Liu Shan he was useless man. That though, was the trigger that helped Liu Shan change and become the man he is today.
Thinking of how Liu Shan was treated in the past, Yue Ling's eyes darken. One of the things she hates the most is people who uses others for their own selfish needs. It was a good thing she became friends with Liu Shan and helped change him.
However, she does want to know who this woman is... Of course, she won't look into it and wait until Liu Shan decides to introduce the woman..
