Unexpected Second Chance at Love

”Sir, you can’t go in there.”

One of the two officers holding the person struggled to speak as Yue Ling and Chief Ren look at the source of the sound.

Meanwhile, Lin Hui jumped up from his seat in surprise. He almost dropped his cup of tea but was able to keep a steady hold on the cup.

”What’s going on?”

Hearing his subordinates, Chief Ren stood up from his seat. He walks over to see who had dared to break his door down.

However, the moment he stood up, a tall figure entered the room, bringing in cold air with him.

Yue Ling saw the person and her eyebrows arched in surprise.

”Tian? Why are you here?”

Now standing in the room, Lu Tian stares directly at Chief Ren. His expression was dark, and despite two officers holding onto his arms, his stance did not falter.

Seeing that the two officers were trying to detain Lu Tian and bring him out, Chief Ren frowns. He sends them a glare and growls.

”Why haven’t you let go? Do you know who this is?!”

Quickly as his words fell, both officers loosened their hold on Lu Tian. They were well aware of who Lu Tian was, but he had a dangerous aura when he entered the police station.

Everyone thought something serious had happened and he was going to cause trouble. As police officers, they were only doing their job.

Also, the Chief had instructed them not to let anyone enter his office as he was in an important meeting.

Chief Ren felt embarrassed that his subordinates had done such a thing to Lu Tian. He pinched the space between his eyebrows and waved them away.

”Lu boy, I apologize on behalf of my subordinates.”

His hand lowers, and he gestures to an empty seat in the room.

”I’m not sure why you are here but have a seat. We can discuss it.”

Lu Tian’s expression that could kill a person did not cease at all. He walks over to his wife and stands in front of her like a bodyguard.

”Why is my wife here?”

The room turned into silence. Yue Ling turned quizzical at his question while Chief Ren sat in his chair and stared at the man standing in front of him.

This person was Lu Tian. The man many fear and will never try to get on his wrong side.

However, there was no fear on Chief Ren’s face but frustration.

Instead, he was struck dumbfounded by Lu Tian’s sudden threatening question. He stares at Lu Tian for a long second then exhales a deep breath. He pinches the space between his eyebrows and waves the man to sit.

”Sit down. There seems to be a misunderstanding here.”

Lu Tian’s cold eyes did not waver, nor did he show any intentions of sitting down.

How can he, when his wife is here at the police station? Not only that, she is being questioned by the Chief of Police.

Could it be that because his wife is a part of Fate, Chief Ren is trying to find the slightest fault to put her away? 

As this thought entered his mind, his expression turned more dangerous than it already is at this moment.

”Whatever misunderstanding it is, I will be the judge of it.”

Lin Hui, who was sitting next to Yue Ling, was beyond confused. He looks to the door and sees Xu long.

He doesn’t make a sound but makes eye contact with the assistant in a nonverbal communication.

’What in the world is going on? Why are you and Lu Tian here?’

Xu Long held a serious face as he was his boss’s right-hand man. However, when he makes eye contact with Lin Hui, he sends the man a wink and nods his head ever so slightly.

’Don’t worry. My boss will handle it from here. You and the lady boss can sit back and relax.’

’...’

Lin Hui was struck in the head by the God of Dumbfoundedness. His eyelids turned heavy, and he felt the urge to go over to Xu Long and smack the man on the head.

’What in the world are you talking about? What is there to handle?’

Xu Long sighs inside and gives Lin Hui a severe expression.

’Sh. Everything will be fine.’

’...’

Oblivious to the two subordinates’ unspoken conversation, Lu Tian put Chief Ren in a distraught position. He (Chief Ren) decides not to drag on this misunderstanding and puts up the white flag.

”When I said this is a misunderstanding, it really is.”

He leans forward and places his cup of tea on the table. He then pours himself some more tea.

”No one here is in trouble, so can you give this old man a little face?”

At first, he was confused as to why Lu Tian was here, but now he knew the reason.

Based on his (Lu Tian) overprotective behavior, it can only mean he (Lu Tian) thought he (Chief Ren) was trying to find pin something on Yue Ling.

”You can put that dangerous aura of yours away now.”

Lu Tian was never to take words lightly. He parts his lips to ask why his wife was brought in, but he suddenly feels the softness of a familiar touch on his hand. 

The darkness that clouded his judgment disappears, and he looks at the owner of the hand.

His eyes gaze into the bluish-green eyes that he loves, and his entire being softens like melted butter.

Yue Ling held his hand and smiled up at him.

”Tian, what Chief Ren is saying is true.”

Seeing that her words had subdued the anger in him, she goes on to explain the situation.

”No one is in trouble. Lin Hui is here to write a statement for an incident he was involved in while I’m here to visit an elder.”

Hearing her response and her calm expression. Lu Tian was able to sigh in relief.

He sat down on the empty chair next to her without letting go of her hand.

”You should have told me. Do you know how worried I was when Xu Long told me that you came to the police station?”

Yue Ling couldn’t help but chuckle at him. She never expected something like this would make him so worrisome.

”I’m sorry. I’ll tell you from now on.”

”Ahem.”

From across the couple, Chief Ren interrupts with a cough. His cheek was vaguely pink, and one could see the awkwardness in his expression.

”Young people nowadays are so straightforward.”

He murmurs to himself and clears his throat. He looks at Lin Hui and decides not to waste any more time.

”Hui, I was going to take in your statement, but you can go find Officer Xin and write your statement. I’ll read it later.”

Lin Hui was rooted in his seat with heavy eyes staring straight at Xu Long. He had been going around in his head how such a scene unfolded.

However, it turned out, he and Chief Ren almost suffered from Lu Tian’s wrath, all because of Xu Long’s misinterpretation.

He shakes his head and follows Chief Ren’s words. He stood up to leave the room but didn’t forget to drag Xu Long out with him.

Lin Hui: ”Be thankful we were able to clear up this misunderstanding.”

Xu long: ”Hey, a thank you would be nice. I could have died on the way here. Besides, how was I supposed to know that this was all a misunderstanding? You hung up on me before I could ask any questions. So if anyone is to blame, it’s you.”

Ignoring the two men’s conversation, Lu Tian kept a stern expression but looked at Chief Ren. He felt regretful for what he did and awkwardly smiles.

”I apologize for your door. I will compensate you with a new one.”

Chief Ren was just about to take a sip of his tea when he choked at Lu Tian’s sudden apology. He pats his chest and stares at the man with uncertainty.

’Who is this young man? Is he really Lu Tian? The same Lu Tian who never apologizes to anyone. Is he smiling? Oh God, he is smiling!’

He subconsciously glances at Yue Ling, and seeing that Lu Tian was shamelessly holding her hand, he chuckles while shaking his head.

’I see. Love can really change a person.. Look at what it’s done to Lu boy.’
