Unexpected Second Chance at Love

———

"Stay here and rest."

Lu Tian's voice trails into Yue Ling's ear as he leans and pecks her forehead. He gets up from the bed and walks to the bathroom inside the room. After cleaning himself, he walks back out with a warm damp towel and cleans his beautiful wife.

Yue Ling laid on the bed exhausted. She could feel him gently wiping her body clean and wasn't one bit bothered by it. Hearing his footsteps again, she open her eyes and looks at the man walking back to the bathroom. She will never believe him when he says 'quick' again!!! Not only that! How can he, who has a wounded hand have so much stamina in his left hand?!!!

Watching him go inside the bathroom, she struggles to sit up. Then moving her aching legs, she stands up and starts dressing herself.

Within moments, Lu Tian walks back out and his eyes darken when he saw what his wife was doing.

"What are you doing?"

His sudden cold voice made Yue Ling's heart skip a beat. Not daring to face the man, she quickly pulls her white turtle neck sweater down. She didn't care to tuck it in.

"I need to get back to work."

Lu Tian furrow his brows. They had just finished his 'quick' act and he knew he had tired her out. Not just that, he rather her stay here and rest, because when he called her earlier, she had said she was tired. Watching her, he sighs and walks towards her. Sitting down on the edge of the bed, he looks at her.

"Do you have to go back to work?"

"..."

Yue Ling was rendered speechless. Did he really just ask her if she had to go back to work?! Of course she has too! Without looking at the man, she part her hair to one side and run her fingers through in a combing motion. She can't go out of this room looking like a hot mess. Who knows what the workers out there will say!

Attentively watching his woman fix herself and not paying him any attention, Lu Tian's frown deepen. He reach out and grabs her hand, pulling her in front of him until she stood between his legs. Bringing her closer, he wrap his arms around her waist and rest the side of his face on her abdomen.

"Can't you just stay here with me?"

"....."

Yue Ling looked down at the man and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Why was he acting like a child? And was he always this clingy? It's not like they weren't going to see each other again. She sighs and shakes her head.

"Tian, I need to get back to work. It's the same for you."

Lu Tian pout his lip then he turn his head to face Yue Ling's abdomen. He press his face against it before secretly planting a kiss on it. He couldn't help but think, it's only a matter of time before she becomes pregnant with his child. However, he still needs to give her left ring finger a present first.

Thinking till there, he reluctantly pulls away and answers her with a, "Fine." He lets her go, and stands up, "But you have to let me send you back to work."

*Thud*

"....."

Yue Ling, who had just reached down to pick up her Louboutins, ended up dropping one pair. She swore, she would have fallen to the ground if she wasn't trying to steady herself. Looking him in the eye, her expression turns serious.

"Tian, you can't do that. Won't you get in trouble for leaving work? What about your boss?"

This time, Lu Tian was the one speechless. His boss? Did his wife not know he IS the boss here? Then, remembering how he had only said he worked in the business industry, he sighs in a small regret. He looks at her and spoke with a straight and serious expression.

"This is my company."

*Thud!*

The other pair of Yue Ling's Louboutin drops to the floor. She stare at the handsome man like she had become a small tiny ant and he, a giant amongst all giants.

Yue Ling: "Y-You're the boss here?"

Lu Tian: "Mm."

Yue Ling: "Why didn't you tell me?"

Lu Tian: "I just told you."

Yue Ling: "....."

Yue Ling was even more dumbfounded. She was wondering why his office was so big and nice. Not only his office, even this company was nicely structured. Turns out, the man who became her boyfriend is the boss here?!!

Oh god! She just had an intimacy act with the boss at this company!!! Not only that, they are in his office!!! She and boss here are in an affair!!! Wait, he's her boyfriend, so it's not an affair.. no, that's not the point!

She stare at the man and wanted to say something, but all words were stuck at her throat.

Lu Tian held in his smile and grabs his suit jacket. Putting it on swiftly like his right hand wasn't wounded, he squat down and picks up Yue Ling's heels. Knowing she was still in a daze, he smiled when she couldn't see his face. Gently, he lift one of her feet and slip her foot in her heel, then doing the same to the other.

"Let's go."

He caress her cheeks and put a strand of her hair behind her ear. He kiss her on the forehead, then he takes her hand and guide her out of the adjacent room.

Yue Ling was still in a shocked daze as she was guided out. They did it in his office and all his employees know she was here... How can they not think of the unimaginable shameless that happened...? How long has it been since she got here? Oh god!

*click*

The sound of the door knob turning woke Yue Ling from her daze. She held her ground and she grabs Lu Tian's hand holding hers from advancing.

"T-Tian, I can go to work by myself."

He stops and looks back at her. Not saying a word, he turn his head back to the door and opens it.

*slam*

Yue Ling stretch her arm out and palms the door shut. Her breathing turn rapid. "I said I can go by myself. You don't have to—-"

Seeing the door quickly slam, Lu Tian sighs and looks back at his wife. His expression was indifferent as always, "Either, you let me take you back to work or I carry you out. Your pick."

"....."

She was dumbfounded by the shameless man's words. Was his options for her even considered options? How can he be so stubborn? Does he not care about his image as the boss here?

Letting out a long sigh, she could only go with him guiding her out. She can't let his employees see him carry her out like a sack of rice.

Reluctantly, she grumbles, "Fine...."

Lu Tian smiles and quickly, steals a kiss on her lips. In a good and happy mood, he opens the door and walks out with Yue Ling half behind him and half at his side.

Outside, all the employees were waiting excitedly. Never in their life have they been this excited about work, but today was different. Supermodel, Han Yue Ling is here and they couldn't wait to get a glimpse of her again! Especially those who didn't get the chance to see her when she first came to visit.

They plan to ask for autographs and have small talks with the goddess. However, when they heard the door to their boss's office click open, they were shocked to the core.

Today must definitely be very different! Not only was Han Yue Ling here, but even their cold and aloof boss is holding a woman's hand!!! And this woman is the woman all the employees admire and wants to meet!

Lu Tian ignores his employees looks and whispers and leisurely head towards the elevator. He needs to quickly take his wife out of here or else he'll eat another jar of vinegar from the buzzing bees flopping about his wife.

At his side, Yue Ling lower her head and tries to hide her burning red face. She's a model and has encounter many public scenes, but never has she experience something like this....

"CEO Lu."

Just as the couple were about to reach the elevator, a soft voice spoke from the side. The blonde hair woman steps out from the crowd and blocks the couple's path. She looked very pleasing to the eyes as she smiles warmly at Lu Tian.

"CEO Lu, you have a meeting to attend."
