Unexpected Second Chance at Love Chapter 884 - Appointment To Have Lunch

Chapter 884 - Appointment To Have Lunch

The rain pouring down onto Imperial did not subside but continued to trickle down onto the ground. As the people awoke from their slumber to start their daily life, Yue Ling and Lu Tian finished getting ready for work, along with breakfast.
The couple did not leave the house in separate cars like usual. Instead, the two entered Lu Tian's black Maserati Levante Trofeo.
Yue Ling sat in the passenger seat and gave a few murderous glares at the man next to her. He looked so refreshed and in a good mood.
She could not believe him at all.
As if the whole night wasn't enough for him, the entire time he carried her into the bathroom, he tossed her around. When they were done, she was relieved to get ready for work. However, in the middle of picking out what she should wear, Lu Tian came inside her closet room and took her for another round.
In the end, she could barely finish putting on her clothes, let alone stand.
Lu Tian could feel the intense gaze his wife was giving him. However, he focuses his attention on the road ahead with a smile on his face.
He looked like a person who had won the lottery.
He glances at his wife and grins at her like he doesn't know why she is angry with him.
"Today's a beautiful day. Don't you think so?"
Yue Ling scoffs in disbelief and looks away from him. She looks out to the view outside the window and scoffs again when she sees the gloomy weather mixed with rain pattering on the windshield.
"Sure. It is a beautiful day."
The sound of her voice was full of sarcasm, but Lu Tian also ignored it and continued smiling.
Yue Ling pinches the space between her eyebrows and decides not to be angry with him. His stamina was beyond anything she had ever seen, and being mad at him was pointless since he feigned ignorance.
Seeing her do this, Lu Tian's smile gradually faded, and guilt rose inside him. His wife has to work, and due to his selfishness, he exhausted her.
His lips slightly pursed, and he glanced at her. When he saw her still pinching the space between her eyebrows, he turned into a little boy who had wrong the world.
"I'm sorry for what I did… I shouldn't have pushed you into doing something you didn't want."
Hearing his apology, Yue Ling lowers her hand and glares at him. However, upon seeing his apologetic face, she heaves a sigh.
"Why are you apologizing? It's not your fault."
Although she blames him for tiring her out, the fault wasn't only his to blame. She presses her lips together before muttering in an almost whisper voice.
"I also liked it…."
She hates to admit it, but it was the truth. The only problem is that she is too embarrassed to admit it.
Lu Tian's eyes lit up as he burst with joy like an engorged leech. His head abruptly turned to look at his wife, and he opened his mouth to say something.
"Eyes on the road!"
However, before any word could escape him, Yue Ling shouts at him, causing his attention to turn back to the road ahead.
The words he had wanted to say dispersed into thin air, and his mind blanked for a second.
Yue Ling wanted to laugh seeing his reaction but pressed her lips tightly together to keep herself from laughing. She can't help but wonder why others are so afraid of him.
Of course, she will never understand that this side of Lu Tian is only for her and no one else.
The car ride turned quiet, and Yue Ling sighed inside. She ponders how to break the silence and then glances at him.
"How did yesterday's meeting go?"
She needed to change the topic regarding what they did in the morning, so it was only best to ask about the meeting in City Z.
After all, Lu Tian was the one who said she could ask if she wanted.
Lu Tian arched an eyebrow in surprise at her question. His wife has never once asked him about work or been curious about his work life.
However, he felt a sense of happiness.
"I met with City Z's Chief of Police to discuss a case."
He spoke the truth, and Yue Ling turned her head to look at him when she heard the mention of Chief Kim. Her eyes every so lightly shook as memories came rushing back to her, but she as quickly as they came, she was able to push them back.
"I see. Are you close with the Chief?"
"Mm."
Lu Tian answered in a calm hum. His eyes slightly darken as he recalls the contents of the meeting, and his hand tightens on the steering wheel.
His small gesture did not escape Yue Ling's eyes. She looks away from him and stares out the passenger window.
"Is it serious?"
Lu Tian returns to his senses at his wife's voice. He calms himself down and nods his head despite knowing she wouldn't see him.
"It is. The Chief started the case a few years back but decided to request my help since we are after the same person. However, with my work schedule and the difference of our jurisdiction, we can only meet once a year to discuss the case in person."
He didn't need to hide anything from his wife because he trusted her.
"This time, the Chief requested to meet despite the meeting has passed. His teams found a lead, but it turned out to be like all the other times. Every time we think we are a step closer to finding this man, we hit a dead end again."
Yue Ling listened to the end and pursed her lips. She couldn't help but think about Lee Shin and the others back in City Z. During her time there, she was aware that Faith was a band in disguise for the men as they were undercover agents.
However, is it possible that the team Lu Tian mentioned from Chief Kim's side is Faith?
She slightly frowns at the thought but quickly disregards it. There was no way that it was true. Chief Kim has many subordinates, and the team in question must be different.
Having come to this answer, she pushed the thought aside and looked at Lu Tian.
"Do you need my help in finding this man?"
Lu Tian slightly turns his head to look at her and gives her a faint smile.
"I'll ask you if I reach another dead end."
He knows that if he asks his wife for help, it will lessen the trouble finding Choi Li Sun. She has connections in the underworld, but he doesn't want his wife to be sad if someone she trusts were to betray her.
"I'm meeting with Chief Kim's team tomorrow to discuss the matter."
Yue Ling arched her eyebrows when she heard her offer get turned down. However, thinking about his words, she slightly furrows her brows.
"The man is here in Imperial?"
Lu Tian answers with an mm, and his expression dims.
"He's a very dangerous man, and someone is keeping his whereabouts hidden.
Hearing this, Yue Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry at his seriousness. She can confirm from his tone that this person is threatening, but it was hard to believe hearing it from someone like Lu Tian, who is known to be merciless.
His answer also confirmed her question regarding Faith. If Qin Jun and the others were in Imperial, they would have let her know, or Liu Shan would have noticed.
As their conversation came to an end, so did the car ride.
Lu Tian parks his black Maserati Levante Trofeo in front of De L'amour. He steps out of the car and walks around the front of the hood to help his wife out.
"I'll pick you up for lunch."
Yue Ling had only stepped out of the passenger seat when she heard his question. She looks at him with crinkles at the corner of her eyes and a smile.
"I'll see if my schedule will allow it."
She walks away from the car after her teasing words. However, having taken only one step, she was pulled back by Lu Tian.
His arms wrapped around her without any care of anyone, let alone the intentions of letting her go.
He gazes down at her and smirks.
"Now I have to make an appointment to have lunch with my wife?"
His head leans down towards her, and he stops inches away from her.
"Are you angry because I didn't come back for dinner… or…"
He paused after his words and leaned in more until he could feel her breath on him.
"Is it because of earlier?"
Yue Ling grew flustered by the second. When she heard him mention the morning's events, her entire face turned as red as a tomato.
She had wanted to joke with him, but it all backfired. She pushes him back and strides away without answering.
Lu Tian smiles at her response. He looks at her, and before she can get too far, his arm stretches to her, and he grabs hold of her wrist.
He pulls her back to him again and places a kiss on her lip.
"I got it. I'll call your assistant and set an appointment."
He lets her go but doesn't forget to give her another kiss. This time, on her forehead.
As he walks to the driver's side of the car, his voice sounds again before entering the driver's seat.
"You can decide where we will be having lunch."
"…"
Yue Ling was frozen in place and could only stare at the man's shameless behavior. Her eyes followed the black car until it was no longer in sight, and she turned around.
However, she froze again when she saw Liu Shan, Qi Li, Tang Zhonghui, and Ju Suo staring her way.
Her subordinates had witnessed a scene they had become accustomed to, but each person had a massive grin on their face, excluding Qi Li.
She ignores their reaction and walks towards her company. As she passed them, she didn't forget to give each person a look as if saying,
'You saw nothing. You heard nothing.'
