Unexpected Second Chance at Love

As the team split into two groups, Ju Suo, Jiangyu and the other three entered a black car and drove away from the scene.

Watching them leave from the cameras that were set up, everyone made sure that the five people leaving did not come into any ambush by the opposing team.

Once confirming they are safe and away from here, Qi Li, Yiqing and Gui Tian Lan turned for the door leading to the secret passage. As the plan, they have to leave the same way they came from.

The time is nearing so they need to get into their positions.

Watching the three men leave, Lian Ni Shang and Uncle Zhi also followed. Although they aren’t leaving the empty shop, they still have to prepare for the unimaginable.

"Boss, are you sure you don’t want any of us to stay with you?"

Liu Shan spoke as he approach her. He is teamed up with Lin Hui and Xu Long but if she needs him, he won’t hesitate to stay by her side.

Hearing his sudden words, Yue Ling knows that he is worried about her safety, but everything will be fine.

"I’ll be fine. Tian will be with me."

Not only him, but everyone too. With them standing by, she knows that they won’t let any harm come to her.

Left with no room to push the question further, Liu Shan could only nod his head. He looks at Lu Tian who is giving order to his assistant. With the man’s capabilities, he hopes both mother and child will be safe until all this is over.

His eyes moves away from the man and back to his boss. Giving her a faint smile, he turns away.

However, the moment he turned away from her, the look on his face turned into one with determination.

He will make sure these people get no where near his boss and child.

As Liu Shan’s figure disappears through the door, Lin Hui and Xu Long quickly followed after. Both men didn’t forget to tell their bosses to be careful before leaving.

With everyone gone, only Yue Ling and Lu Tian remained inside the room.

Yue Ling turns to look at the man but was taken back by surprise when he was already standing behind her. She tilt her head back to look up at him.

"Did you buy what I asked?"

Lu Tian was staring at his wife as he was deep in thoughts, but when he heard her question, he returned to his senses. He sighs inside and nod his head.

"I did."

Turning away from her, he walks over to a table and picks up a bag.

When he received the call from the Chief about Chu Li Xiang’s sudden transfer, he had left the room to further instruct his team. However, before he left, she had asked him to stop by the store.

"Thank you."

Yue Ling approach him with a smile and takes the bag. Without saying another word, she heads for the restroom.

Due to her wearing a skirt, she won’t be able to move around properly, so she asked him to buy her a change of clothes, mainly pants.

Inside the restroom, Yue Ling took out the new set of clothes. Staring at each piece, she could only sigh a chuckle.

Why is she not surprise to see each clothing in the black?

Lightly shaking her head, she quickly changes out of her old clothes into the new ones.

For someone who always wore black unless he is at home in his loungewear, Lu Tian sure pays attention and knows her choice in fashion.

He had picked out a simple black turtleneck sweater. However, its style is more oversized, which is what she actually prefers. As for the bottom, it was a pair of black jeggings.

She can tell that he probably picked up this style because her once flat stomach now has a small bump. Knowing the man, he probably also thinks that jeans will harm the baby.

Putting her old clothes inside the bag, she put on her shoes. Good thing she didn’t wear heels and opt for a pair of suede knee-high black boots. These boots weren’t high too.

After putting her shoes on, she wore her gray wool coat and grabs the bag to leave the restroom.

"Yue Ling."

Just as she opened the door, she is met with Lu Tian’s tall figure. Her brows arch up in surprise, before she steadied herself.

"What’s wrong?"

She asked when she saw that something was bothering him. However, it didn’t take long before she could already guess the reason.

A faint smile curls on her lip and she reach her free hand to hold his hand.

"Everything will be fine. Baby and I will be safe since you and everyone are here."

Lu Tian gaze down at her with perturbed eyes. He was having that same uneasy feeling he had when he left her alone to go to City Z. It was the same feeling he did not want to feel again.

However, knowing that this time he is here with her, he sighs aloud and pulls her into an embrace.

He held her tightly with one arm wrapped around her and the other holding the back of her head. His head lowers as he press his forehead on her shoulder.

Inhaling her unique scent that he loves and finds addicting, he tightens his hold on her. It was as if she was going to disappear from him.

Seconds passed in silence before his deep, yet hoarse voice sounds.

"I know you are a strong woman but promise me you’ll bide with the plan no matter what happens."

Yue Ling stayed unmoving in Lu Tian’s embrace, but when she heard his words, her entire being softened.

His words sounds calm and collect like usual, but she could hear the faint tremble in the tone of his voice.

Her hand holding the bag loosens as the bag drops to the floor and she hugs him at the waist.

"I will... I promise."

Hearing her promise to him, Lu Tian tightens his hold on her more.

If he could, he would want to knead her into one with him. That way, if danger ever comes to her, he can be her shield and take the damage without any harm coming to her and their child.

He had tried to convince her to stay with Grandfather Ji and let him handle this, but she was insistent in coming. If he knew he would be this afraid of losing her in any way, he would have locked her in a safe place.

However, it’s too late. She is here and he will do everything to protect her and their child.

Lifting his head, he slightly turn to kiss the temple of her head.

He leans his head back a little only to lower it again and plant a small, yet deep and powerful kiss on her lip before reluctantly pulling away from her.

Yue Ling’s cheeks was flushing red from the sudden kiss, but when her eyes subconsciously glance at the time, she gasps.

It was already 11:30pm.

"Tian, we have to go."

Hearing her words, Lu Tian glance at the time. However, instead of leaving right away, he pulls her in the direction of a chair.

As he sat down, he slowly brings her closer to him.

Yue Ling stares down at the man with an arch brow. The time is nearing, so why does he still want to leisurely do something like this?

She part her lips to speak, but before she could utter a sound, his next move shook her heart.

Lu Tian place his hand behind her back and leans toward her as he place a kiss on the little bump on her stomach.

Moving back a little, he gently press the side of his face against her and slowly close his eyes.

He held her close to him, but looked like he is listening to the little one inside her whisper something to him.

After listening to little one, he too, murmurs a whisper.

"Little one... Daddy promise, I will keep you both safe."
