Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Chapter 680 Where are we going?



Chapter 680 Where are we going?

The only table inside Elegancy had long been cleared and Lu Tian sat in wait for his wife. He looked calm with his hands were clasped together in front of him, but both his thumbs would not stop fidgeting together.

He didn’t know why, but unlike the first time, he was more nervous than ever. After experiencing this feeling once, shouldn’t he be used to it and more confident now?

Before his inner thoughts could trail too far, the door to the lady’s restroom clicks open and he could hear two sets of footsteps approaching his way.

He looks up and swallows a hard gulp with eyes glued to the hallway that led to the restrooms.

"Ya’Er, it was only my coat that got wet, why did I have to change my entire outfit?"

Yue Ling asks as she and Zhao Ya’Er stepped out of the restroom. Her other clothes were not wet, but when she entered the restroom, Zhao Ya’Er demanded that she changed into the new clothes.

She looks down at her body and slightly purses her lip in question.

Before, she was wearing a simple black dress, but now, she was wearing a long-sleeve powder blue dress. The skirt part of the dress was flowy, and it wrapped nicely around her lower body part before tying into a bow at the waist.

However, the dress wasn’t the only thing that confused her. Why did Zhao Ya’Er touch up her makeup?

She’s only going home after this, right?

Zhao Ya’Er glance at her best friend and she sighs in admiration. When she saw that Yue Ling was about to touch the makeup, she had worked so hard on, she suddenly stops the retired model.

"Ah! You can’t! I worked really hard to perfect your already gorgeous face."

"..."

Dumbstruck by her friend, Yue Ling didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She lightly shakes her head and decides to listen to the woman.

She doesn’t know why everyone is acting strange around her, but for now, she’ll play along with them.

As their two figures enter the dining area again, Lu Tian did not take his eyes off of his wife. Even he didn’t know that he was holding in his breath.

It was like time had slowed down and he was only awe of her angelic figure. He stares at her with soft eyes and faintly smiles.

In his entire thirty years of living, he has never felt such strong feelings like this towards anyone or anything.

However, the moment he saw her from a distance inside the airplane departing from City Z to Imperial, he knew that he was developing a feeling he has never felt before.

"So this is love..."

He murmurs a whisper that only he could hear and his eyes slowly flutter. His gaze was soft and there was nothing but love for his wife.

The more he gazed at her, he couldn’t help but wish to place her in a cage. That way, in her eyes, the only person she can see is him.

"Tian, what are you thinking about?"

Yue Ling askes when she stops in front of him and realized that he was deep in thoughts. However, his eyes never once left her own.

"Oh..."

Lu Tian finally came to his senses and remembered to breathe again. He stood up from his seat and takes her hands. He glances down at her body and a satisfying smile curls on his lip.

"I knew you would look great in this dress."

His voice was quiet, but it did not escape Yue Ling’s ears. She creases her brows and looks down at the dress.

"You picked out this dress? When?"

Lu Tian’s cheeks flush a shade of pink when he realized his mistake. He had been so mesmerized by her that he slipped.

He clears his throat and brushes aside any trace of feelings on his face. He gestures with his chin to Madam Zhao who was walking towards them.

"It was my aunt. She picked it up."

He self corrects himself and felt proud of himself for being quick to think on words. That is because he wasn’t lying to her. During his passing breaks between meetings, he had browsed through an online dress shop to buy a nice dress for his wife.

When stumbled upon on this powder blue dress, he knew that it was meant to be worn by his wife.

He paid for it, but due to his work schedule, he had to ask his aunt to ’pick’ it up from the store.

Yue Ling looks up at him without a word. She knew she had not heard wrong. However, seeing how quick he was to correct himself, she decides to do what she is doing with everyone else.

She smiles sweetly at him with her teeth then turns to look at Madam Zhao with the same smile.

"Thank you, it’s a very lovely dress you picked out."

Madam Zhao was touched by her words, but Lu Tian felt like he had been stabbed in the heart and could not breathe. Those words were supposed to be for him, how can she say it to his aunt?

However, seeing her smile that can always melt his heart, he pulls her into his arms. He lowers his head and without any care about his aunt and cousin being present, he lowers his head and kisses his wife.

"..."

Yue Ling’s eyes shot open and blood rush to her cheeks. At the same time, Zhao Ya’Er squeals and covers her eyes while Madam Zhao covers her mouth with one hand. However, she didn’t forget to raise her other hand and gives her nephew a thumbs up.

Knowing that she was going to push him away, Lu Tian beat her to it and pulls away from her. He lowers one hand to hold her hand tightly and pulls her towards the door.

"Let’s go. There a place I want to take you."

Yue Ling obediently follows his every move with a shy expression. Before she exits out of the restaurant, she didn’t forget to wave goodbye to Madam Zhao and Zhao Ya’Er.

Glancing at her from the corner of his eyes, Lu Tian smiles at her expression. It’s true that he wants to lock her in a cage, but deep down, he knows that be can never do that to her.

If he did, he will never be able to see her captivating smile and her heart full of warmth will disappear forever.

And having her turn a cold shoulder to him is the last thing he ever wants.

"Where are we going?"

Yue Ling asks as she sat in the passenger seat. She looks at Lu Tian who was already sitting in the driver seat and wonder at her own question.

She thought they were only having a nice dinner then go home. However, he said he wanted to take her somewhere.

Lu Tian starts the car and gives her a side glance. His foot presses on the accelerator and drive away from Elegancy as he reaches to hold her hand closest to him.

He slightly leans to her and brings her hand up to his lip. He places a soft kiss on the back of her hand and smiles with a beam of light flickering in his eyes.

"You’ll see when we get there."
