Unexpected Second Chance at Love Chapter 265 Terminated

The private room inside Imperial Hotel turned into a cold freezer. Lu Tian looks at his wife and when his eyes caught sight of her wrist that was held, his expression turned darker than it already is.
Taking big strides with his long legs, he only needed 2 steps to reach her. He held her hand and gently rub it to ease the redness. As he does so, he didn't forget to lift her hand closer to his lip and blow on it.
"Why are you so careless?"
His frown tightens more seeing that it took a while for the redness to disappear. If he had not come, what would have happened to his wife?
Seeing the look on his face, Yue Ling smiles to the man. She could already guess what was going on in his head. Lu Tian's words were of worry, but she could hear the anger in it.
"I'm fine, Tian. My people would never let him do anything to me."
And that was the truth. The two waiters earlier were none other than Liu Shan and Lin Hui. It was thanks to Liu Shan's certain pair of shoes that she even dare to touch the food, let alone drink the water. Knowing that they had come even though she had told them not to, it did ease her mind. However, seeing Lu Tian, she was even more at ease.
Lu Tian nod his head hearing his wife's words. He had forgotten that she has outstanding people by her side. However, remembering how Ning Xingyu had his arm wrapped around his wife, he is still in rage inside. His head slightly turn to look at the man who is now behind him.
"Mr. Ning, you have crossed the line."
"..."
Stuck in silence and confusion, Ning Xingyu could not comprehend the scene in front of him. From what he gathered, Han Yue Ling is not married nor is she in any scandal involving a relationship. However, the way Lu Tian spoke to her.... It sounded like a caring husband... Just as his mind drifted to try the scene, Lu Tian's cold words brought him back to reality. When did he cross the line?
"Mr. Lu, I was having lunch with Miss Han. How is this crossing the line?"
Lu Tian calmly turn to face the man. His eyes were the same as always. Indifference, but chilling cold like they could see through one's soul. He knows that his wife is capable in taking care of herself, but he also knows Ning Xingyu. There has been a lot of women in Imperial who falls for this kind of person. Once he is done using them, he will toss them out like they are garbage.
However, he will not be Lu Tian if he allows this pest treat his wife this way.
"You made the mistake when you invited my wife here."
Lu Tian made sure he emphasized the word 'wife'. Although Yue Ling isn't his wife yet, he rather call her wife than girlfriend. Especially when it comes to men who eye his wife like a hungry dog.
"..."
Like lightning suddenly hit him, all the hair on Ning Xingyu's body stood up. Not only is he shocked, even the security guard is shocked.
Everyone know that Lu Tian has never been in any scandal involving relationship. Not even any women in Imperial can get near the cold man. Yet... here he is claiming Han Yue Ling as his wife...
Seeing the shocked look in Ning Xingyu's face, Lu Tian was quite satisfy. However, he would be more satisfy if Yue Ling was really his wife, by name and law.
Thinking of it, he felt an uncomfortable tinge feeling inside of him. Seems like he'll need to speed up the preparation. He really needs to propose to her and marry her. That way, he can proclaim to the world that she is his lawful wedded wife.
Yue Ling stood behind Lu Tian and she stare at his god like figure. She really does like this feeling of being protected... In the past, it was always her who protected her people. Shin protected her too, but it wasn't the same like the way Lu Tian did.
Just as her thoughts started to drift, Lu Tian unexp turns around to her. Without warning, he takes her by the hand and walks out of the room.
"Xu Long."
Lu Tian spoke as his figure exit the door. He didn't have to say anything else as his assistant already knows what to do.
Entering the room, Xu Long happily appears with a smile, however, when he saw Ning Xingyu, his smile disappears. He walks to the center of the room with a folder in his hand and place it on the table.
"Mr. Ning, your contract with Lu Corps has been fully terminated. Please handle your business elsewhere."
"..."
Ning Xingyu was dumbfounded hearing this. It was like one blow came after another to his head. He gulped in difficulty and his now trembling hand reach for the folder.
How did everything turn out this way? Didn't he plan this carefully? Wasn't Qian Li Li supposed to help him keep the contract intact?
"T-This...."
He looks up to Xu Long, but to his surprise, the assistant had already disappeared. The only person in the room with him was the security guard. He clench the folder in his hand and threw it across the room.
"Mr. Ning, about this—"
The security guard had yet to finish his words when he sees Ning Xingyu strides up to him in anger. It was an angry expression he has never seen from the man. He takes a few steps back to avoid what was coming, however....
*bamm!*
Ning Xingyu kicked the security guard in the stomach. His blood was boiling and he needed to vent his anger and humiliation. Punch after punch was thrown at the guard. If the staff had secured the plan like he planned, none of this would of happened. He was so close to getting Yue Ling!
Until the guard was unconscious did he finally calm down. His breath was heavy and his eyes turned cold. He takes a deep breath and fix his suit jacket.
In that moment, a woman with cat like eyes walks in the room. Her auburn hair was tied in a sleek high pony tail and she was clothe in a white suit. When she saw the unconscious security guard, she didn't get scared or panic. Instead, she walks toward Ning Xingyu and takes out a handkerchief.
"Chairman Ning, please clean your hand."
Ning Xingyu looks at the woman and takes the handkerchief. Wiping his blood stained hand clean, he toss it in the trash bin.
"Clean up this mess then come to room 3011."
Finishing his words, he walks out of the private room as if nothing had happened. The woman bows to him. Her temperament was as calm as the ocean.
"Yes, Chairman."
"Hmmf."
Until Ning Xingyu was no longer in the room, the woman straightened her posture. She looks at the security guard and shook her head.
"Clean this mess up and make sure the media doesn't find out."
When her words finish, a group of men in black suit strides into the room. They quickly cleaned up the mess and carried the unconscious security guard out.
One of the men walks up to the woman and he frown, "Secretary Gao, we can't locate the other two."
Secretary Gao furrow her brows at the man's words. This was something she has yet to tell Ning Xingyu. She had been waiting in the room next door in case something happened. Everything was going well until she stepped out to use the ladies room. When she returned, she was notify that the two men who were assigned to be her boss's waiters had vanished. It was as if both men were never part of the plan.
She turn to look at the round table and sees the touched food. Her frown deepen as she ponder in thought.
If the two men disappeared, who brought in the food?
"Check the CCTV and find them. I'll go explain to Chairman Ning."
"Yes, Secretary Gao."
Secretary Gao glance at the table then she quickly walks out of the room. The most important thing now is to check on Ning Xingyu. She has been working under the man for five years and she knows him better than anyone else.
———-
*ding*
The elevator door opens and Secretary Gao steps out. She walks towards room 3011 and takes out a key card. Before she enters, she didn't forget to knock on the door first.
Standing in front of a window, Ning Xingyu has his back turned to his Secretary. In his hand was a lit cigarette as he smokes it.
Secretary Gao did not move further into the room. She stood in front of the door with both her hands overlap in front.
"Chairman Ning, it was my fault things got out of hand. If I hadn't step out, things would of proceeded as planned."
She knows how excited Ning Xingyu has been about this meeting. She has also seen the yearning look in his eyes every time Han Yue Ling's photos or name comes up.
Ning Xingyu stare out the window and he continued to smoke his cigarette, "So, you're taking the fault for this?"
"Yes, Chairman."
The corner of Ning Xingyu's lip curl upwards into a smirk. He kills the cigarette in his hand and turns to the woman.
"Gao Yuanyuan, you should know by now that I won't do it for you."
"I understand, Chairman."
Gao Yuanyuan slight blow her head. She calmly raise her hands and unbutton her white suit jacket. Taking it off, she then unbuttons her inner blouse and so on to everything else.
Watching her undress herself, Ning Xingyu did not show any change of emotion. The way he was staring at her was as if was the most normal thing to do. Like it was hobby in his everyday life.
He had to admit, Gao Yuanyuan is a very outstanding and smart woman. She knew what she was getting herself into when she signed up for the position. Just like all the other woman around him. They all knew the type of person he is and they still stuck around him like glue.
Until all her pieces of clothes was laid on the floor and she stood exposed, Gao Yuanyuan walks to the cleaned bed. Her back touched the slight coldness of the bed and she laid waiting.
As she waited, Ning Xingyu proceed to undress himself. Seeing this from the corners of her eyes, blood rush to her cheeks and she blushed.
Even if she is just his secretary and he's slept with plenty of women, if she can stay by his side that's all she cares about. He is the person who saved her and gave her a career. She sold her soul the day she took this job.
Within minutes, an intimate act took its toll inside Imperial Hotel's room 3011. Ning Xingyu thrash the woman below him like she was play toy. However, as he did so, he imagine the woman to be the woman he was so close to getting.
