Standing between the parking lot and De L'amour was Lu Tian. The red sky and the setting sun behind him made him look exceptionally mesmerizing.
However, because his back was facing the sky, Gui Zhongming couldn't get a clear view of the man's face. Yue Ling on the other hand was dumbfounded. Just from hearing the man's voice, she knew who it was and could already guess where this was going.
Shaking her head, she turn to look at her stylist, "Gui Zhongming, I'll see you t—-"
Before she could even finish her words, Lu Tian had already used his ninjitsu and was next to her. His tall figure force its way between his wife and the man. With no shame, he drape his arm over her shoulder. He glares at the young man like a vicious cat before dragging his precious treasure away.
Yue Ling: "..."
Gui Zhongming: "..."
Unlike the two, Lu Tian's expression did not falter. He opened the door to his Audi R8 and place his wife inside like nothing happened. Walking around to the driver side, he opens the door. Looking back at the young man, his expression was indifferent like usual before he gets inside.
Gui Zhongming was rooted to the ground. He couldn't help but take a difficult gulp and watch the expensive sports car drive out of the parking.
"Zhongming, why are you just standing there?"
From behind came his older twin brother's voice. Like a person who had his acupuncture's released, he finally moved. Turning his head, he looks at Gui Tian Lan.
"Bro.... Just now..."
Gui Tian Lan frown at his younger brother. Glancing from at man to the parking lot, he shook his head. Just now what? He didn't see anything unordinary.
"Let's go. Boss wants us to get some rest before we're back to work tonight."
"Got it."
Following behind, Gui Zhongming pout his lip. He couldn't help but worry about his boss. The man just now... why does he look so familiar? Not only that, even his boss did not struggle to free herself from the man's arms.
Who was that man?
———————
Amongst the streets of Imperial, Lu Tian's black Audi R8 raced its way through the lanes. His expression on his face was cold and unreadable. Without him realizing he had gone pass the speed limit in double the digits.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Yue Ling wasn't scared at all. She glance at each car Lu Tian had driven pass. His way of driving like this could be on pair with hers, however, she is still better.
Turning her head to look at the man, she sighed and pinch the space between her brows.
"Tian."
After a few seconds had pass, the man did not answer but continue to drive recklessly. Yue Ling sighs again.
She was fine if he wanted to be a racer, but she is with child. How can she let her pea size baby experience such reckless driving?
"Tian, if you don't slow down, I'm going to jump out of the car!!"
*scrreeeeechhh—!*
The car quickly came to a stop. Although the tires made marks on the road, Yue Ling knew her racer boyfriend had decreased the speed first.
"What did you say?"
Lu Tian spoke coldly as he looks at his wife. His eyes glaring at her as if he wanted to strangle her to death.
"I said....."
Yue Ling sighed for the third time and looks at the man. She wanted to repeat her words, but when she saw the look on his face, she could only hold everything back.
"I asked you a question."
His tone turned even colder. Even his dark eyes seemed to have turned into two black holes in the universe.
Looking at him, Yue Ling was calm at first, but the man's tone of voice made her blood boil. Is he really asking her what she said? If he had never driven so recklessly, she would of never said what she did. Her nostril slightly flare and she glare at the man as if penetrating his head with bullets.
"I said! If you don't slow down! I'm going to jump out of the car!!!"
"...."
Lu Tian did not know whether to laugh or cry. His expression may look unaffected, but deep down he was dumbfounded by the woman. Never has she raised her voice like this at him.
Yue Ling glare at the man before she quickly turn her head to the window. Her chest heaving up and down like a Spanish bull ready to take action.
One would think she looked like an angry monkey about to burst, but to Lu Tian, she looked like a phoenix ready to soar into the sky.
Thinking of the unimaginable in Yue Ling's words, Lu Tian frown. If his wife really did jump out of the car..... No, he will never allow it.
However, when he realize it was his fault for eating a jar of vinegar, he sighed in guilt.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't be driving so reckless since you are....."
Realizing he was about to give away the fact that he knew about her pregnancy, he quickly shut his mouth. With his fast thinking, he clears his throat.
"You must have had a long day at work. I'll drive more carefully."
Yue Ling scoffed and ignores the man. Drive carefully? If he had thought of it sooner, maybe they wouldn't be in this situation.
Driving them home at the assigned speed limit , Lu Tian could only sigh inside. He was in a good mood when he left Lu Corps. His plan was to surprise his wife by picking her up from work, except..... he didn't think he'd witnessed such a disturbing scene. His wife may not notice, but he did.
The young man standing next to her, he could see the way the man had looked at his wife. It wasn't the look one has for his coworker, but one that held hidden romantic feelings. Even if it was a quick second, nothing escapes his eyes.
Thinking of the scene again, his jaw tighten. Why is it that there's another buzzing bee by his wife? She already has a first love and a decent looking assistant. Does he have to watch her be surrounded by another man?
Not only that, even he could tell the man was younger than him and his wife.
Could it be.... he's too old?

*ding*
The elevator to Jade Condos slide open and the fairy and prince exits out. Leading the way was Yue Ling, while Lu Tian followed behind.
Throughout the car ride, neither of them spoke after their first 'argument'. Even when Lu Tian had parked the car, the both of them still did not speak.
Face with the silence between them, Yue Ling sighed as she stood in front of the door. Without warning, she turns around to meet the cold man.
"Tian, we need to talk."
