Unexpected Second Chance at Love Chapter 738 After you change

Chapter 738 After you change

Before the sunset on the horizon, Yue Ling arrived home in time to change then head to the Lu family house. Lu Tian had informed her in advance that Madam Lu wanted to discuss the wedding dress over dinner.
She drives the car through the gates and headed to the house. However, seeing the aloof man's car, she was taken back by surprise. They had driven separate cars due to her having to come home late from work. They also agreed to meet at the Lu family house.
Parking the car, she steps out from the driver seat and looks at Lu Tian's car.
"He's still here?"
She murmurs to herself with a small frown then reaches for her bag inside the car. Not dwelling too much on her thoughts, she walks to the front door.
The second she stepped onto the porch, the front door opens, and Lu Tian's tall figure greets her at the door.
"Welcome home."
He had been waiting for her inside the house. As he was coming downstairs, he saw her call enter the gate and decided to open the door for her.
A small gasp escapes Yue Ling when she was met by him. She quickly braces herself and smiles at him with a nod.
"Mm. I'm home."
She walks past him to enter the house then stops in front of the small coat closet. She changes out of her shoes into house slippers then turns to look at him as she removes her coat.
"I thought we settle on meeting at your parents' house for dinner?"
Lu Tian closes the door and casually walks over to her. He takes her coat from her and turns to face the coat closet.
"We did agree to meet with them, but that didn't mean I will let you drive alone there."
He places the coat on a hanger then hung it on the rack. Everything about him did not look like a CEO but that of a butler.
"We'll leave after you change."
Yue Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry at him. Deciding to do neither, she answers with a faint 'mm' and headed up the stairs.
Left alone downstairs, Lu Tian watches her from behind until she was longer in sight. He doesn't follow after her but head in the direction of the living room.
He takes out his phone from his pocket and sits down on one of the couches. He had wanted to bring his wife to the Ji Mansion to visit Grandfather Ji and Ji Jingxu, along with bringing Inu home. However, his mother called him to bring his wife over for dinner and that his father had something to discuss with him.
Not only that, he found out that Grandfather Ji was still hospitalized.
Thus, he could only agree with his mother's request.
Lowering his head, he unlocks his phone screen and press on a message he had received in the morning.
It was from Grandfather Ji and the contents of the messaged said he (Grandfather Ji) plans to tell his wife about his illness.
He stares at his phone and reads the message over and over in his head. He couldn't help but feel an unexplainable feeling in his chest. It was the same feeling he felt when he left for City Z to meet with Chief Kim and the night, they lost their unborn child.
A feeling that made him feel unease like someone was slowly trying to dig his heart out.
Upstairs, Yue Ling was completely oblivious about the knot inside Lu Tian. She finished taking a quick shower to rinse away any sweat and dirt on her body and was now in her closet room.
She had changed into a white knitted sweater and paired it with a simple cream satin skirt at midi length. Her slightly damp hair had been put up into a high ponytail. As for her makeup, she decided not to wear any but put on moisturizer to hydrate her skin.
Grabbing a black coat from a rack nearby, she drapes it over her arm and walks out of the room.
Just as she stepped out the door, her head lowers to check her clothes and her eyes subconsciously notice her engagement ring on her finger.
She pauses in her steps and looks down at the ring. Its beauty and design were beyond anything she has ever seen before making her can���t help but smile.
"Always and forever."
The words escape her mouth quietly as she remembers Lu Tian's words when he proposed to her a second time. However, before her thoughts could travel too far, she hears light footsteps approaching.
She looks up at the person and her entire being softens at the sight of Lu Tian.
'Always and forever.'
This time, she repeated the words in her head and sighs. Raising one foot, she takes a step forward then another as she walks to meet him.
"Did I take too long?"
Lu Tian doesn't answer but continues to gaze at her. He couldn't help it as he arrived in time to see her looking at the ring. Even though he wasn't at a close distance, he could see the loving feeling in her eyes.
He walks up to her and slightly shakes his head to answer her question.
"No, I just miss you too much while waiting."
Hearing his response, Yue Ling chuckles softly. She had only left to change, and they were currently under the same rood. How can he miss her already?
Reaching an arm out to him, she slid it around one of his and smiles widely up at him.
"Come, let's go before we're actually late."
Lu Tian doesn't refute her words and allows her to take the lead. However, seeing how easy it is for her to capture his heart, he was now feeling reluctant to leave.
Maybe he should just call his mother and tell her that they weren't going. Especially since it won't be a bunch of bees, he has to worry about but his own mother.
After all, she (Madam Lu) is the main person in his life who will not hesitate to fight with him for his wife's attention.
As they make their way to their car parked in front of the house, he sighs inside.
"I'll drive."
He helps her into the passenger seat then walks around the car to the driver's side. After taking his sweet time to start the car, the couple finally leaves their house and head in the direction of Peony Villa.
