Unexpected Second Chance at Love

In another part of Imperial, Ning Mei sat in a chair as she enjoys a secret dinner with Director Yeun. They were in a private room at a fancy five star restaurant, but she couldn’t keep waiting, her patience was running out.

”When are you going to fulfill your promise to me?”

Director Yeun lift his head to look at the girl. He had wanted to enjoy a good dinner, but this girl just never stops with her questions. Placing the fork and knife in his hands down, he sighs.

”I heard from Photographer David that there is an upcoming shoot for Beauty’s winter cover photo next week. I’ll help contact Beauty’s CEO. Once you secure the role, you will definitely rise to the Top Ten.”

Hearing the word Beauty, Ning Mei grinned happily. Beauty is a well known magazine in Asia. It’s name is exactly what it is. Every person featured in the magazine were beautiful women and men, even the clothes were from high end fashion lines. Even the famous designer brand An Qing is a sponsor.

If she secures the role, she will definitely rise to the top and defeat Han Yue Ling.

Putting on her innocent facade, she smiles sweetly at Director Yeun. Stretching her hand out, she touch the man’s hand.

”Will you be going home after this or are we....” she blush, then continue, ”going to the usual place?”

Director Yeun looks at the young and decent girl sitting across from him. His annoyance disappears and he smile in response to her.

”I’ve spent a good amount of time to be here, why will I leave?”

Ning Mei sneered inside, but she still held her outer facade, ”But... wouldn’t your wife suspect you?”

Director Yeun: ”She won’t. She’s too busy being a good wife for me. Come, let’s go.”

He needed to release his load, so why would he skip out on someone young and pleasing like Ning Mei.

The two individuals stood up from their chairs. No longer hungry, they walked out of the private room, heading to their next place. Director Yeun place his hand on Ning Mei’s back, they couldn’t wait to engulf themselves in their intimacy.

However, they did not realize that someone had seen them while out with his friends and he is currently looking at them with a disgusted expression.

At Jade Condos, the boxes have yet to finish, but there was only a few left. Yue Ling takes a deep breath. She does not remember having so many things. Was she a hoarder? Shaking her head, she walks to the kitchen counter.

Earlier, she had bought some food for them to eat. So, since it was getting late, she’ll heat the food so Lu Tian and her can eat dinner. Of course, she wouldn’t forget to feed her baby too.

Lu Tian walks out of the guest room, now study room after arranging his desk. Seeing Yue Ling take out some boxes of food, he quickly walks over. Taking the food away from her, he place them back in the bag.

”Let’s go out.”

Yue Ling blink in confusion at his words. She had bought dinner, yet he wants to go out? Right now? At this time?

Looking at the man, she didn’t know what to do or say. She doesn’t know if he ate or not earlier when he went out, but she didn’t. Was he not hungry at this hour? Because she was.

She turn to look at him with a frown, ”You want to go out? Like... right now?”

”Mm.”

Yue Ling wanted to protest, but remembering how they’ve never gone out in public together, she felt like tiny butterflies were flying in her stomach.

She lower her head and nod her head, ”Fine, let me go change first.”

”Just grab a coat. You look beautiful in anything you wear.”

Yue Ling sneer inside, ’Always sugar coating. He’s getting way too good with his words.’

Thinking of something, she narrow her eyes and ask, in wonder of what he’d say, ”Even in a box?”

”Mn, even in a box.”

”.....”

Lu Tian stare at Yue Ling, his expression was unemotional as always. She, however, really does not know what to say... He, for one, was not normal at all. Rolling her eyes at the man, she walks away to her closet room to grab a coat.

When she came back out to the living room, she puts on a tan oversized knee length cardigan with wide sleeves. Her outfit was comfy but very stylish.

Lu Tian didn’t change, he just wore an olive parka over his loungewear. He brush his hair back and wore a black beanie.

Yue Ling lean on the counter and held her chin with her palm. Her eyes following Lu Tian’s every move. From the moment he put on his parka to his beanie. She could hear her heart speed up watching him be naturally handsome.

Whether it was his tailored fitted suits or loungewear, the man looked good in anything he wears...

Sighing at the heavenly emperor, Yue Ling straighten herself. Grabbing Inu’s leash, she walks around the counter and towards her baby.

Lu Tian furrow his brows seeing the leash in Yue Ling’s hand, ”What are you doing?”

”Inu’s coming too.”

Hearing his name being called by his mommy, Inu’s ears perk up and he woke up immediately. Running over to his mommy, he rub his head and circle around her legs.

”Woof! Woof!”

’Yes!! Take this noble king too! Don’t you dare think to leave me!’

Lu Tian pout his lips. Did he want Inu to come? Of course not! How was he supposed to spend time with his Yue Ling? But, he couldn’t tell her... it’d only make her sad and he doesn’t want her to be sad...

Taking a deep breath, he massage his temples.

”Fine. He can come too.”

He glares at the dog in annoyance, ’You better be thankful, if it wasn’t for my wife, you wouldn’t be able to come along. Hmmf!’

Inu sat patiently as Yue Ling hook the leash on his collar, but his eyes were mocking Lu Tian, the evil peasant.

’Heh heh. Don’t think you can have my mommy all to yourself. As long as, I, this noble king is here, you will never get the chance! Muahahah!’
