Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Chapter 788 - Can't see anything

Suddenly staring into the darkness, Yue Ling was bewildered by Lu Tian’s childish behavior. She knew right away why the man had covered her eyes.

A smile curls on her lip as she doesn’t push him away and decides to play along like a fool.

"Tian, why are you covering my eyes? I can’t see anything."

Her words fell as she even attempted to move his large hand, covering the top half of her face. However, no matter what she did, his hold on her was too strong the fight against.

She blinks a few times, her long lashes brushing against his palm.

Lu Tian felt a tingling sensation shot throughout his entire body. He presses his lips tightly together and inhales a deep breath to calm himself down.

"Your eyes will be tainted by the things you see outside."

However, knowing he cannot cover her eyes for too long, he reluctantly moves his hand away.

At the same time, he didn’t forget to adjust their position. He turns his wife back to the window that had been removed, hoping that she will not see the shirtless men working outside.

"Be good and go upstairs. I’ll come up after checking in with my men."

Yue Ling wasn’t dumb and knew the meaning behind his words. However, recalling the scene she saw seconds ago, she had to admit that the Wolf Team members are really something. Not only are they good at their jobs, but they know how to keep their bodies in shape.

As the thought came to her, she involuntary glance up at Lu Tian. Her body froze in place when she saw his dark eyes staring back at her with a dangerous glint of light.

Could it be that her thoughts were written on her face?

No, that’s not possible. She had thought about it too quickly to even show a change in her expression.

Besides, she was only complimenting the members of Wolf Team. No matter how good looking their faces are or how well-built their bodies are, none can compare to the man standing in front of her.

Sighing at this thought, she doesn’t play the fool anymore and turns around like an obedient child being sent to bed. However, about the step out of the living room, she suddenly pauses and turns around.

"Ah, I almost forgot."

The second she turned around, Lu Tian’s heart jumped to his throat. His eyes search everywhere for something to cover the window. However, seeing nothing, he grabs the open part of his coat and stretch it open as if to hide the scene behind him.

Yue Ling stares at him with a befuddle tilt of her head. Of course, it didn’t last long when her lip curls upward, and she chuckles a smile at the sight of him portraying a curtain.

"Well, this something I don’t see every day."

Her words fell teasingly. She could still see the view outside as Lu Tian alone was not enough to block the entire window.

However, seeing how black his face had become, she decides not to tease him anymore.

"Is there anything, in particular, you want to eat for dinner?"

"Anything."

Lu Tian answers through his clenched teeth while trying to keep his posture tall in order to block his wife’s line of sight. If it’s dinner and she’s cooking, he isn’t picky at all.

Yue Ling nods her head and turns around to walk away.

"I’ll be upstairs then. Until it’s safe, do come and get me so I can cook dinner before it gets too late."

As her figure disappears behind a wall leading to the stairs, Lu Tian sighs in relief, not knowing he had been holding his breath. His outstretched arms lower, and he runs his hand through his hair, messing it up.

"She really knows how to give someone a heart attack."

"Ah, Tian, one more thing."

Just as he mumbled the words to himself, Yue Ling’s voice calls out again, and her head pokes out from behind the wall.

Lu Tian was startled by her sudden return and grabbed his coat again. He quickly stretches his arms and returns to being a curtain. He tries to keep his head cool and looks at his wife like everything is as smooth as a boat sailing in the ocean.

"Yes."

Yue Ling blinks her eyes at the man standing alone in the living room. She presses her lips tightly together and tries to hold back her need to laugh loudly.

Unlike the first he turned into a curtain, Lu Tian at this moment indeed had both his arms out, but due to her sudden return, he was only able to grab one side of his coat. His nicely combed hair was also disheveled, like he had woke up from a long nap.

Staring at him for another second, Yue Ling was unable to hold herself back. She burst into a peal of hysterical laughter with upside-down eyes before quickly calming herself.

Her laughing face turns into a cheesy one, and she sends him a wink.

"Got you."

She turns around and walks away towards the stairs. This time, she doesn’t return as she didn’t want to anger Lu Tian. She was sure that if she were to make another appearance, he would really strangle her death.

Lu Tian maintained his position for a long minute. He needed to be sure that his wife wasn’t going to pop out of anywhere.

When he sees that she wasn’t going to joke around anymore, his arms lower. However, he doesn’t forget to walk a little to the side to check the direction she had gone.

Seeing her taking the last step up the stairs to the second floor, he heaves a sigh of relief. He swore his legs were going to give up on him when she jokes with him.

"She really is going to be the death of me."

Being someone who was always cold and indifferent, he has never experienced a situation like this. Only after his wife entered his life did he know he could feel so distraught.

Shaking his head at what just happened, he waited until he couldn’t hear his wife’s faint footsteps anymore. Turning around, he walks out to the back courtyard.

However, instead of leaving the window removed, he departs from the back door like a person with common sense.

He steps on the patio deck, and the cold air brush passes him, causing his coat to sway in motion. Stopping at the end, he doesn’t go down the small steps of stairs but stares with a straight face at the scene in front of him.

Calmly place his hands behind his back, his lips parts, and his deep voice sounds more profound than usual.

"Wolf Team, formation!"
