Unexpected Second Chance at Love

While Chu Li Xiang makes plans to run from Fate, another person is having his own difficulty at this moment.

Gao Jie stumbles out of Fate with his two subordinates trying their best to carry his heavy body.

He was in a horrible mess with a swollen face covered in bruises and blood trailing down both corners of his lip and his nose.

"Fucken bitch..."

He groans a curse under his breath. Mami’s sudden kick almost knocked him out. Yet, he didn’t think someone who looked as weak as Liu Shan would have such heavy hands and feet that he was beaten until he was almost dead.

His eyes flash murderously at the humiliation done to him.

"Fate... Mami..."

Reaching his car, one of his men opens the back door and he struggles to crawl in. Once he sat, he glares in the direction of Fate as the door closes.

"Just you wait, I will not let this go!"

He swore inside. He will have his revenge and when that day comes, he will make sure to cut Liu Shan’s limbs and feed him to the sharks. As for Mami, he will slowly torture her and watch her beg for his mercy.

Breath heavily, he avert his eyes away from the building.

"Call a doctor to Snakehead."

As Gao Jie’s car drives away from the gate of Fate, Steward Yang stood not too far as the elderly man watch the back of the car.

His wrinkle old eyes narrows more than they already are. His thoughts are unknown as he walks to the gate and slowly pulls it close.

Placing one hand behind his back, he turns to head inside with the help of his old Victorian cane.

As this took place, Yue Ling remained inside the room on the third floor of Fate. She smiles and chatted away with her future husband as both individual already knew each person’s plans.

From the meeting, they already knew that once Steelhead leaves, he will no doubt rush to end his part of the deal with Chu Li Xiang.

As for Gao Jie, he will no doubt try and seek revenge on them with the help of Chu Li Xiang.

Throughout their conversation, Qin Yi and Fei Tao had long moved to sit on the couch across from them. However, neither person spoke as they were still loss in a daze.

They still couldn’t comprehend with Lu Tian’s sudden appearance and Yue Ling’s words of confirmation on their relationship.

Qin Yi saw an article with the model and the businessman on the front cover after the annual Fall Fashion Show, but she thought it was just the media trying to stir up gossip.

As for Fei Tao, he thought the same thing too. When he saw the article, he did think the two people were a pair, but he was also in doubt too.

However, to hear they are actually an item...

Glancing at the two people, Lu Tian didn’t give their expressions any thoughts. He glance down at his watch and seeing the time, he sighs inside. It was already close to midnight.

"It’s getting late, we should go home."

His deep voice sounds as he looks expressionlessly at his wife. However, one can see worry in his dark eyes.

She had just been discharged from the hospital. He cannot let her stay out too long as the weather is still cold, and she needs to rest.

Hearing his words, Yue Ling smiles a sigh. He is right, since the meeting is over, they should head back home.

As the two individuals came to a quick understanding, before they could stand up, the young man sitting across from them stops them.

"Wait."

Fei Tao almost stumbled out of his seat when he heard Lu Tian’s sudden suggestion for them to leave. He slowly stood up with his legs slightly trembling.

"Why are you leaving? I still want to spend some time with you..."

He didn’t care if Lu Tian was present as he stares at Yue Ling with moisten eyes. Almost like he wanted to cry.

It was as if he was not the young leader of Black Jade, but a child who was going to be separated from his mother for life.

"I don’t want to be separated from you..."

Yue Ling’s eyes blinked as she did not know whether to laugh or cry. Is this really the Fei Tao she knows? Was he always this sensitive?

Unlike his wife, Lu Tian kept his usual master supreme poker face, but his eyelids had turned extremely heavy. How dare this boy say some flirty words to his wife in front of him.

His eyes slightly narrows in sending the boy a vicious glare, then to his wife.

Why is it that no matter where his wife goes, there is some kind of bee buzzing around her like he is not here.

Sensing his glare, Yue Ling was even more stupefy. Sometimes she wonders what happened to Lu Tian’s high IQ and EQ.

How can he be jealous over someone who is almost a decade younger than him?

Lightly shaking her head, she reach for his hand and stood up from the couch.

"Fei Tao, what Tian said is right. It is getting late so we should all catch up another day."

She gives the young man a smile then looks at Qin Yi who had also came out from her daze.

"Once the situation with Chu Li Xiang is taken care, we can go for a nice dinner and talk."

Fei Tao’s expression turned even more sad as he wanted to refute, but the middle-aged woman sitting next to him, lightly nudge him.

He sighs aloud and nods his head like an obedient boy.

"Fine. I know you won’t go back on your words."

A soft sigh escapes Yue Ling’s lip as she walks over to the boy. She lifts her hand and gently pats his head like how she always did to Ji Jingxu.

"Take care of yourself and don’t get into any trouble."

She looks at Qin Yi and bids the woman goodbye as she and Lu Tian walks out of the room.

Once the two people were gone, Qin Yi glance up to the boy and stood up to leave too. However, seeing the sad look still on him, she heaves a long sigh.

"You’re not a child anymore, why do you still act like one?"

Hearing her words, Fei Tao snorts a hmmf with his head turning away from her gaze.

"Only in front of her can I still act like a child."

Everyone sees him as a very mature boy since he had taken over Black Jade at the age of twelve. However, what others do not know is that, he is still a child who has a lot to learn.

Of course, this childish side of him is only shown to Yue Ling as she is the most important person to him.

She was the main person who was by his side throughout his journey of being a very young leader.

When he learned that Yue Ling had left the underworld, only God knows how much he had cried to himself. He thought he would never see her again.

Qin Yi stares at the boy with the corner of her lip slightly twitching.

He had spoken his words in a tone full of arrogant, but she can see that his moist eyes were not a lie. The boy is trying his best not to cry.

Shaking her head, she reach to pat his head as she pities him.

"Don’t touch!"

Just as Qin Yi’s hand was three inches from his head, Fei Tao quickly reacted. Both his hands raise to block his head like he was protecting himself.

"Yue Ling just patted my head. If you pat my head, you’re going to rub off her touch."

"..."

Qin Yi was even more flabbergasted than ever. She sarcastically scoffs and rolled her eyes at his words.

"Kid, you still have a long way to go."

Without waiting to see his reaction, she walks out of the room.

Whether Fei Tao’s feelings are that of a brother or a man, all she knows is that with Lu Tian by Yue Ling’s side, the boy is of no match.

Left alone in the room, it was Fei Tao’s turn to be flabbergasted.

He stares at the door in the direction the old woman left, and he could not believe what he just heard.

He knows that Yue Ling is out of his league, that’s why he rather be a younger brother to her than no one at all.
