Unexpected Second Chance at Love Chapter 567 quite a run

Into their passionate kiss, the sound of overflowing congee boils over the pot and meets fire causing a sizzling sound. Lu Tian reluctantly pulls away from his wife and glares murderously at the pot on the stove.
"Oh no!"
Yue Ling's eyes widen in panic and she pushes Lu Tian away. Jumping down from the counter, she rushes over to the stove and lowers the fire.
After making sure that the congee was not burnt, she sighs in relief. With her cheeks still red from their kiss, she turns to look at Lu Tian and chuckles.
"You almost had to eat burnt congee for breakfast."
Lu Tian's eyes remained glaring at the pot like it had become one of his greatest enemy. If it had not interrupt them, his wife would still be in his arms.
However, seeing her smiling face that always makes his heart at ease, he could only sigh inside. He should also thank the pot for interrupting them or else he would have taken her right there on the counter.
Taking three big steps to stand in front of her, a faint smile curls on his lip. His right hand raise to hold her chin and he lowers his head to place a quick kiss on her red swollen lips from their previous kiss.
"I'll eat anything you cook."
Yue Ling's cheek reddens more, and she puff out her cheeks. She quickly ushers him away from the stove.
"Go on your run. Breakfast will be ready when you return."
Being forced out of the kitchen, Lu Tian doesn't say anything but lets out a blissful laugh. Turning his head to see his wife enter the kitchen again, he kept a subtle smile then looks in the direction of the living room to where Inu was.
The little white fluffball laid on one of the couches. He had left the kitchen because he was courteous enough to give the two human's their space.
"Let's go."
Lu Tian signals for the little guy as the two make their way out the front door. He also reminds himself to give Doctor Dong a call later about his wife's health.
Left alone in the kitchen, Yue Ling stares down at the plate of washed vegetables. Her mind had zoned away to the passionate kiss she just shared with Lu Tian.
Remembering how she made the first move to use her tongue, she blush shyly and lightly slap her palms on her cheeks.
"Aiya… Yue Ling ah, you idiot. Why did you do something so shameless like that?"
She mumbles to herself and wish so badly to turn back time and not do what she did. How could she forget that during the past few weeks of her recovery, Lu Tian had been restraining himself from doing anything beyond a quick peck on the lips.
They were told by Doctor Dong that she needed time away from any physical activities as it would prolong her recovery.
However, she remember reading something online that it was not healthy for a man to hold back for too long.
Thinking this, her eyes lit up when she thought about something. Once she finish cooking, she will search the web to see when they can exercise in bed or if she can do something for Lu Tian.
As she reach for a knife, her entire being froze like Articuno had used frozen beam on her. With widen eyes and mouth slowly opening agape, she screams in her head.
'Oh God! Han Yue Ling! Search the web? When did you become this lewd?!!'
--
Two hours later, Lu Tian and Inu returned from their morning run. Yue Ling had already finished cooking breakfast as it was the only thing to help distract her mind. However, seeing that they had not returned after an hour, she decided to watch a drama.
When she heard the front door open, she stood up to greet them.
"Wow. That was quite a run you both had."
"Wroof!!"
Entering the house, Inu pounce in the direction of his favorite human. His expression was full of pure happiness. He loves running every morning with the evil peasant, but unlike the usual short one hour run, this time it was longer.
Lu Tian closed the door and changed out from his running shoes into house slippers. He glance at the energetic Inu then looks at his wife.
Usually he would only spend one hour on his run, but after his short moment of passion with his wife, he needed to distract his mind. Only God knew how much he wanted to take his wife every day. Especially when they lay in bed.
"Are you alright? Did something happen?"
Yue Ling couldn't help but ask when she noticed that Lu Tian had not moved since he wore his house slippers. Her cheeks flustered red again as he just kept his eyes on her like he could see through her.
Hearing her angelic voice full of worried, Lu Tian came back to his senses. He faintly smiles and shook his head before walking over to her.
"It's nothing. What are you watching?"
Knowing that something was bothering him, Yue Ling wanted to ask. However, deciding not to push the topic, she smiles and walks over to meet him.
"A drama. I overheard your mother, aunt and cousin talk about it when we were shopping."
As she nears him, she finally notice that the man was covered in sweat from the run. Both her arms stretch out and she pushes him towards the stairs.
"Your clothes are drenched like you had ran in the rain. Go take a shower. I'll warm up the food."
Lu Tian pout his lips at her words. It's true that he is sweaty from his run, but he wanted to spend some time with her since he still has time before work.
Lowering his gaze to her hands, he sees that she was only touching him with the tips of her fingers. She made it seem like he was some kind of pest and didn't want to touch him.
However, thinking this, one corner of his arcs up into a devilish smirk.
The moment Yue Ling saw that smirk full of mischief behind it, her heart stopped for a quick second. She couldn't help but struggle a hard gulp as she can sense the man is going to do something shameless again.
"Tian?"
Her head slightly tilt back to look up at him, and she spoke his name with a sarcastic chuckle. She part her lips to speak again, but before she could, Lu Tian finally makes his move.
"Tian!!"
She yelps in surprise as he suddenly wrap his arms around her. She could feel the coldness of his sweaty body slightly soaking through hers and her cheeks turned even more red.
"Stop! You're going to get me ah—!"
Within her struggles to push him away, she let out another yelp. Lu Tian didn't even let her finish her words and quickly picks her up in princess style.
He held her firmly like he never wants to let her go and turn for the stairs.
"Since you're also covered in my sweat, we should wash up together."
"…"
Yue Ling abruptly stops her struggling. She swore Lu Tian's shamelessness is getting more and more out of control.
Thinking this, she thought of an idea. Instead of wrapping her arms around his neck, she lets them fall loose and her head tilts back with eyes closed like she had fainted.
Being the one to witness her first-class poor acting, Lu Tian press his lips tightly together. He wanted to laugh but not wanting to embarrass her, he could only try to keep a straight face.
However, since she wants to act this way, it is only fair that he plays along with her. Continuing up the stairs, his deep voices trials into her ears.
"Since my wife has fainted, I suppose it is only given that I wash her myself."
"You dare?!!"
Yue Ling's eyes quickly flutter up and she glares at the man. However, met with his dark pupils, even if she wanted to say more, she knows that she cannot win against him. So, folding her arms over her chest, she inhales sharply and lean her against his chest.
It's only a shower. It's not like they've never done it before.
Seeing that she had given up, Lu Tian's lip curls into a wide grin. Placing a small kiss on her head, his deep voice sounds in an almost whisper.
"Or you can wash me. I don't mind at all."
"…"
As the two peasants make their way to the second floor, Inu stared at them until they were no longer in view. He quickly dashes in the kitchen to where his water bowl is and drank as if he had spent an entire day in a hot blazing desert.
All that running made him parched, but as the noble ruler that he is, he can never let the evil peasant see him so weak.
