Unexpected Second Chance at Love Chapter 404 caught red handed

While the night came to those in Imperial, in the far distance of City Z, it was also late into the night. However, the lights inside the top floor of a high apartment building is kept on.
Inside the apartment, computer equipment is set up throughout the entire living room.
Seated in the center is a man with long hair tied into a high ponytail. In front of him is a desk with two monitor screens and one keyboard.
His long fingers types over the keys like he was playing a piano. It was like the sound of typing was like music to his ears and nothing else matters to him.
"Did you find anything?"
Suddenly, another man walks into the living room and asks the long hair man. However, instead of walking over to the computer station, he heads for the sofa and sits down.
Hearing the question, the man with long hair quickly stops typing. He turns around in his swivel chair to the other man and sighs.
"Nothing. I've checked all the surveillance cameras in City Z for the seventieth time. There's no sigh of him or the woman anywhere."
He leans back on the chair and fold his arms over his chest.
"By now, don't you think we should contact her? She has more resources than we do. If we let her know, we have a better chance of finding his whereabouts."
Hearing those words, the man sitting on the sofa does not answer. He stares at the coffee table with a picture frame and a news article.
He stares at the picture frame that held a photo of five people standing on what looks to be a stage. The background looked like one during a music performance. However, his eyes remained on the man standing in the center of the group.
The man in the photo had a short buzz cut hair with a wide grin.
It was a grin that makes one feel like nothing in the world matters. A smile that makes one can't help but smile back.
Staring at the photo, he couldn't help but faintly smile back at the person. However, as he shift his gaze to the news article, the smile slowly disappears follow by a sorrowful sigh.
"She has finally moved on… We should not bother her anymore but give her our blessings."
The news article was a photo taken during Imperial's Annual Fall Fashion Show.
On the runway stood a goddess clothe in all white as her eyes stare lovingly at the man sitting in the front with the audience.
For such a scene to be captured, the headline for it entitled, 'Supermodel and designer of De L'amour, Han Yue Ling, and Imperial's Business King, Lu Tian in a relationship.'
Under the headline are the words, 'a perfect match made in heaven.'
After a long minute passes by, the man slowly close his eyes to calm his mind. When he opened his eyes, he reach for the news article and turns it over.
He stood up and walks towards the computer station to join the man with long hair.
"She made it clear when she left and she didn't tell us about her new life, except for Hana. We should not involve her with the past."
Stopping at the side of the long hair man, his eyes scans the two monitor screens.
"Continue the search. If we cannot find him within one month's time, then it confirms that he is no longer in City Z. We will then depart to Imperial."
One month is a long time to search for someone, but they need to be sure. There's a fifty percent chance that the man they're looking for might still be hiding in City Z. However, the other fifty percent can be that he already fled the country.
Either way, they cannot be too careless in this mission.
Hearing these words, the man with long hair furrow his brows.
"Isn't that crossing our jurisdiction? Will the Chief let us?"
"I'll inform him of our plan."
The other man answers and turns away from the screens. He then walks in the direction of the balcony as he takes a cigarette out and put in his mouth.
Watching the man leave, the man with long hair heaves a sigh aloud. Turning back to one of the monitor screens filled with codes, he sighs again.
"Times like this, I really miss Liu Shan…"
-
The dark sky that once engulfed over Imperial soon brightens as the sky cleared thanks to the morning sun.
Rays of light shines into the master bedroom awakening the beauty from her deep slumber.
With eyes still closed, a refreshing smile curls on Yue Ling's lip as she stretch her arms in bed. It was the best feeling one gets after a long night's sleep.
Into her stretch, her left hand suddenly hits the man sleeping next to her and she quickly opens her eyes.
Retrieving her arm, she slowly turn her head to face him. However, to her surprise, the man did not wake up at her sudden touch.
Usually he was the first to get up or wake up at her sudden movements. Even if it was a small move, he would have woken up, but not this time.
Staring at him, she notices the crease between his eyebrows.
A faint smile curl on her lip and she carefully turn her body to face him. She made sure to be extra quiet so that her movements does not wake him up.
As she face him, she sighs inside and admire the sleeping beauty next to her.
From his sharp brows to his closed eyes, her eyes travels down to his fine straight nose then his luscious pink lips.
Her eyes blinked a few times and she struggle a difficult gulp. It was like something hard was stuck in her throat making it hard for her to swallow.
He is indeed a very handsome man even when he is sleeping.
He is hers to love and do whatever she wants with him. Even if she were to devour him, he cannot say no.
Realizing her shameless thoughts, both her hands quickly covers her face and she tightly shut her eyes. Without making a sound, she screams inside her head.
Han! Yue! Ling! Ah! When did you become such a shameless person?!
As she lost herself into her own thoughts, she did not realize that the sleeping beauty she was admiring now had his eyes opened.
Lu Tian stares at his wife and a warm smile curls on his lip.
He had long been awake but knowing that they did not have to go in for work, he decided to stay in bed and admire her sleeping face.
However, when she stretched her arms, he quickly pretended to be asleep and allow her to admire him as much as she wanted.
Feeling something was off, Yue Ling stops screaming inside her head, but kept her hands over her face.
Slowly sliding her middle fingers and ring finger apart, she peeks at the man.
Except, she was quickly met with his dark pupils staring right back at her.
Her entire body froze, and her face turned brightly red.
"Ah!!"
Her fingers slid back together to block her eyes from seeing his. She wanted to scream in embarrassment inside her head, without knowing, she had screamed aloud.
Lu Tian stares at his wife and his smile curls up more until a soft chuckle escapes his lip.
"Why are you still so shy?"
Stretching his arm towards her, he held one of her wrists and moves it away from blocking her face.
"It's not like I caught you red handed staring at me."
"…"
Like she was already not embarrassed enough, Lu Tian's sudden words were like a giant rock that sudden layered over her shamelessness even more. She wanted to cry so badly but lack any ounce of tears to shed.
With one hand still covering half of her face, she glares at him. However, seeing his smile that can make any woman's heart flutter, she quickly tries to cover her entire face with one palm.
Now she really wish she could dig a hole a hide in it. Not to hide her embarrassment, but to hide her from doing anything shameless.
Thinking this way, she subconsciously mumbles aloud.
"I've really become too shameless…"
Holding her wrist, Lu Tian slowly brought it to his lip, but the moment he was about to kiss the back of her hand, he heard her mumbling words.
He looks at her and couldn't help but chuckle again.
Pulling her closer to him, he wraps his arm around her and embrace her in hug.
However, he could not stop laughing at her sudden words.
Lowering his head, he place a kiss on the top of her head and decides to help her hide her embarrassment in his chest.
"Mm. Mm. You have indeed become shameless."
Knowing his words had struck his beautiful wife again, he smiles a smile that reached his eyes and tightens his hold on her in case she decides to leave his grasp.
Of course, he did not forget to tease her some more.
"We can be a shameless couple together."
