Unexpected Second Chance at Love

—-

After their dinner, Lu Tian offered to help with the dishes, which Yue Ling found reasonable since she cooked.

Curious about the man, she asked, "Hey Lu Tian, what do you do for a living?"

It wasn’t that she wanted to be noisy, but thinking about her expensive penthouse, she wanted to ask since he was her neighbor.

"Business."

Lu Tian didn’t flinch at her question, he just answered her truthfully.

Yue Ling pinch her chin and nod her head, "I see."

"You?"

"I was a model, but I just retired." she answered him like she was talking to a friend.

Lu Tian slightly purse his lips, "Why?"

"Mm... I wanted to pursue my all time passion, so I retired from modeling."

Hearing her answer, Lu Tian nod his head in understanding. At the same time he finished washing the dishes and dry his hand with a white dishcloth.

"Why did you ask about my career?"

His eyes turned dangerous, he had thought she was different from other women. Was he wrong?

"I was just curious. I mean, you’re also living in one of the penthouses here and with the high price, I just wanted to ask."

Yue Ling shrug her shoulders and said indifferently,

"Even if you said you were a gigolo, I could care less. It’s your life anyways."

The dangerous look in Lu Tian’s eyes vanish at her words. He sighed in relief inwardly knowing she was really different.

Seeing that the dishes were washed and put away, Yue Ling touched her nose and said awkwardly, "It’s getting late, so you should go back to your place."

Lu Tian looked at the wall clock and frown.

It was already 9:15pm.

He knew it was late and he had to go, but he also wanted to stay and spend more time with her.

This was the first time since their encounter that she didn’t run away from him.

Well, she couldn’t since they were in her home.

He glance at the five wardrobes standing like warriors in her living. His eyes lit up with an idea.

"I’ll leave after I help you put the wardrobes away."

"....."

Yue Ling was so speechless at his words, she couldn’t find the words to refute him. Just by looking at the man, she could already guess he was the type who wouldn’t take no for an answer.

Then again, she couldn’t possible move the wardrobes by herself, and Liu Shan was definitely no hope. Knowing him, he would whine and whine like a wife.

As reluctant as she was, she ended up nodding her head.

In another part of Imperial, Liu Shan was currently relaxing in his apartment, watching a k-drama.

Suddenly, his nose started to get itchy and he sneezed.

"Aaaa-chooo!!"

Liu Shan rub his nose and shouts out loud, "Han Yue Ling! I know you are talking about me!! How dare you?! Hmmf!"

Getting her approval, Lu Tian’s heart leap in joy.

His plan worked again!

Coming to an agreement, Yue Ling then tells Lu Tian where she wants the wardrobe to go.

And because she was his woman, he didn’t let her lift a finger in moving the heavy wardrobes. He leisurely took his time carrying the wardrobes one by one to the room Yue Ling said was her closet.

While he did his job, Yue Ling sized up the man. She finally realized how much taller Lu Tian was compared to her. As a girl who was born with a tall height, thanks to her father, she didn’t pay attention to other people’s height.

It was either they were shorter than her or stood at the height or a tad bit taller.

If she remembers correctly, earlier when they were washing the dishes, her head only reached his bottom lip.

Oblivious to her own self, her eyes never left the busy man and a faint smile curl on her lips. For some unknown reason to her, Lu Tian at this moment, gave her home a warm feeling. Maybe it was because she wasn’t alone.

Suddenly, she jolted awake from her thoughts. The five wardrobes that Lu Tian was moving were not light at all. It would have taken two or three strong people to move them.

Yet, the man carried them like he was carrying a bottle of water!

"Anything else?" Lu Tian’s deep voice floated into Yue Ling’s ears.

Still in the middle of her thoughts, Yue Ling sighed and stare at the man.

’At least he’s handsome and strong... uh... oh god! Girl, get a hold of yourself!’

She slightly tap her forehead for thinking out of the box.

Lu Tian looked at the suddenly foolish woman and he held in his smile.

Suddenly realizing how stupid she must have looked, Yue Ling cleared her threat and point to a few smaller boxes, "You can help me bring those boxes to the same room the wardrobes are in."

Like a husband listening attentively to his wife’s commands, Lu Tian did what he was told. And he didn’t complain or found it unreasonable.

If it meant he could spend more time with her, he is willing to be a slave for her.

On the other hand, if Xu Long or any of his subordinates were to see him, their almighty boss who they worship and respect being so attentive and following a woman’s orders, just how shocked would they be!

Yue Ling who was always oblivious to others, leisurely carried the small boxes to her closet room with Lu Tian tailing behind her like a pet.

Once again, she forgot that Lu Tian was the man she lost her innocence to. She had even forgotten her plan to kick the man out after he finished his dinner.
