Unexpected Second Chance at Love

———

Continuing into the night. Jade Condos was peaceful and quiet. Inside penthouse 1503, the lovely and cute couple, Yue Ling and Lu Tian laid asleep peacefully.

*ring ring*

"Hmm....."

"Grr....."

Yue Ling slightly adjusts her sleeping posture at the sound of the phone. While Inu, who laid asleep near her feet on the king size bed makes a low growl. His beauty sleep was disturbed.

On the other side, Lu Tian slowly open his eyes. Looking at his wife who slept peacefully in his arms, he lightly kiss her forehead. Slowly, he moves his arm, making sure not to disturb her even more. Sitting up, he reaches for his phone that was constantly ringing.

"Xu Long."

His voice was hoarse and very low, but in a seductive way. With one knee bent, he rest his elbow on it as he pinch the space between his brows. He is annoyed that Xu Long decided it was the best idea to disturb his wife’s beautiful sleep.

From the other line came Xu Long’s voice quickly sounds in.

["Boss, it’s urgent news."]

Hearing this, Lu Tian’s eyes dimmed. Turning his head, he looks down at his sleeping wife. Seeing her still peacefully sleeping, his expression softens. Lu Tian slowly gets out of bed, he fixes the comforter on his wife. Then putting on a robe, he grabs a cigarette.

As Lu Tian walks towards the balcony, Inu’s ears perk up at the sound of the door opening. He quickly wakes up, but sees the evil peasant only. Looking around, he sees his mommy still asleep, so he quickly goes back to sleep.

Outside on the balcony, Lu Tian lit the cigarette. He leaned against the glass rail.

"Report."

["Words just came. A gang from City Z has enter China."]

Not effective by his assistant’s words at all, Lu Tian leisurely continues to smoke his cigarette.

"Locate their whereabouts and find out their purpose for coming to China."

["Yes, Boss!"]

Lu Tian ends the call and brings the cigarette in his hand to his lip. Thinking of Xu Long’s sudden report, his expression turns even more dark.

City Z is in Korea and Imperial is in China. From his time in taking down gangs from the underworld, he knows the rules of the dark world. A gang from another country cannot set foot in another country, unless it was for business.

Doing so is like stepping into another gang’s territory uninvited.

However, this gang actually crossed the line to come here. Unless....

"Why are you out here?"

Lu Tian broke from his thoughts at the sound of the angelic voice he loves. Looking up, he sees Yue Ling walking towards him in a night gown with both her arms crossed because of the cold breeze. His heart softens seeing her beautiful face. Killing the cigarette in his hand, he throws it away.

"I was on the phone with my assistant, did I wake you up?"

Yue Ling looks at the man. She had to admit, Lu Tian is just too good looking. Even a simple robe made him look extremely outstanding. Sometimes, she even wonders why men are more prettier than women.

"Nnn..."

Suddenly, a cold breeze brush against her exposed skin making her shudder. She quickly use her palms to rub some warmth onto her arms.

She smiles at Lu Tian and shakes her head, "No, I didn’t see you inside, so I came to see if you were alright. It’s cold, don’t stay out here too long."

Not waiting for a response, she quickly turns around. She regretted coming out with nothing warm on. The night was too cold and she wants to quickly return to her warm bed.

However, before she could even take her second step, warmness suddenly wraps around her. The after smell of cigarette enters her nose. Her body froze in surprise.

"Tian?"

Lu Tian wraps his arms around Yue Ling. He had undid his robe and use it to also wrap his wife. Knowing she was cold, it’s his duty to give all his warmth to her.

"Still cold?"

Feeling the warmness from Lu Tian’s robe and body as he embraces her from behind, Yue Ling felt relaxed. Leaning her head back, she rested against his shoulder and chest. This man always gives her a sense of safe haven.

Full of warmth, Yue Ling’s lip faintly curl upwards.

"Mm. Very warm."

Hearing her words, Lu Tian tightens his arms around her. He close his eyes and rested his head on her shoulder. His relaxed self couldn’t help but inhale more of her unique scent he loves.

His left hand touches hers and their fingers interlock. Feeling her soft hand, he felt an indescribable feeling rise inside. However, his brows quickly crease into three lines.

Holding her hand, his thumb gently caress her hand. Even though he is holding her hand.... it is still empty...

Thinking of something, he decides he’ll give another assignment for Xu Long to do in the morning. One that needs to be done quickly.

"It’s getting chilly, let’s go inside."

Yue Ling spoke after their long, yet short embrace put in the balcony. She takes a step forward to get out of Lu Tian’s robe.

"Ahh!"

She cried in surprise. Before she could even move, Lu Tian tightens his arms even more. He locks her close to him again and covers his robe around her again.

"We can walk like this and stay warm."

He takes a step forward, moving Yue Ling with him as they follow each other’s steps.

Wrapped inside Lu Tian’s robe, Yue Ling blush in redness as she smiles. She lets out a soft chuckle and follows the man’s step as they share a robe. Her mind thought about how Lu Tian who appears cold and aloof, can actually be very cute at times.

As the both of them enter the room, Inu stare at the two lovey dovey couple. His eyes glaring daggers at the evil peasant, then looking at his mommy, he rest his head and close his eyes.

Even if he isn’t human, to him, it’s been a long time since he’s seen his mommy really smile.

Even if he didn’t like the evil peasant, if the man can put a smile on his mommy’s face, he’s a little acceptable.

Not thinking much, Yue Ling escapes from Lu Tian’s arms and makes herself warm as she climbs onto the bed.

With a frown, Lu Tian follows her. The feeling of his wife not being in his arms is a no no. Instead of going to his side of the bed, he joins her on her side. His arms wrap around her and he pulls her slim body closer to him.

Having her back in his arms, Lu Tian close his eyes as he felt whole again. However, knowing that he can’t enjoy his time with his wife, he suppress the urge inside.

Only for tonight, since a certain third wheel decided to invite himself to sleep on the bed too.

"Grrr..."

Inu growls lowly. Somehow, he senses that someone is talking about him. Opening his eyes, he looks straight at the evil man hugging his favorite human. Moving, he adjust himself onto Lu Tian’s empty side of the bed and sleeps next to mommy.

Hearing the shuffle, Lu Tian opens one eye and looks at Inu. Thinking of something, he hugs his wife tighter and throws one leg over her. Satisfied, he closes his eyes and goes to sleep with a big smile.

"..."

In the middle between the human and dog, Yue Ling laid on her back and stare with heavy eyes at the ceiling. She didn’t know whether to laugh at cry. Lu Tian had trapped her with his arms and legs as if she was going to run away, while Inu slept on the other side of her like he was her bodyguard.

Sighing inside, she close her eyes and decide it is best to go to sleep. Thinking too much about the way Lu Tian and Inu acts towards each other will only make her head hurt.

At least tonight, she didn’t have to worry about the shameless Lu Tian finding a way to eat her tofu again.
