Unexpected Second Chance at Love

—-

While Yue Ling was busy cooking and her attention was fully on the food, she did not realize that the man sitting in her living room had already started keeping himself busy.

Lu Tian was starting to feel uncomfortable just sitting down. So, instead of waiting, he decided to help Yue Ling unpack, but only the big boxes.

How can he let his woman deal with boxes that were twice her size?

As he unbox the big boxes and put the wooden pieces against the wall, he came to realization that if he was to put the pieces together, they all make opened wardrobes.

The space between his brows crease into the three deep lines.

Just how much space does his woman need for a closet? Does she really have that many clothes?

But then, who can blame Lu Tian for not doing a full research on his woman. If he did he would have known that she was the famous fashion designer of De Lʼamour.

With no further questions, he started assembling the wardrobes since he knew they were the heaviest and he would not allow his woman to carry these heavy things.

Almost an hour later, Yue Ling looked at the dishes she prepared and smile like a proud mother. She had already set them on the dining table.

She cooked spicy fish, braised pork, stir-fried vegetables, egg drop soup and steamed rice.

Looking at her work of art, she nod her head in satisfaction.

Turning to inform her stranger guest, her eyes and mouth shot open.

”Oh my god! You didnʼt have to!”

She quickly runs to the living room and stops the man.

Lu Tian positioned the last wardrobe he was working on, making a total of five. Hearing Yue Lingʼs voice, he looked at her with a poker face,

”Itʼs nothing.”

”...”

Yue Ling stare at the man in disbelief. Was she really that deaf to not hear the man assembling the wardrobes? Her kitchen and living room were not even far apart. More embarrassingly, she can see a clear view of her living room from her kitchen!

With no other choice, Yue sighed and could only thank the man.

”Thank you, but you really didnʼt have to.”

”Itʼs the least I can do. After dinner, I can help you put them in the place you want.”

Yue Ling was rendered speechless. How can she let a man she did not know enter her closet?! She was not that shameless!!

Waving both her hands at the man, she wanted to cry.

”No, no need to. Itʼs already enough that you helped assemble them.”

Lu Tian frown again at her words. She was his woman and as her man, doing things like this for her was only natural.

If his assistant was here, he would definitely be in a huge shock and question the cold and ruthless Lu Tian!

In another part of Imperial, a man was currently hanging out with his friends.

Suddenly, his nose twitch and he sneezed.

”Aaa-choooo!”

Rubbing his nose, Xu Long looked left and right. Seeing no one paying any attention to him, he frown and mumbled, ”who dares to talk about this noble one?!”

——

Lu Tian and Yue Ling sat at the dining table, across from each other.

The delicious aroma enter Lu Tianʼs nose and he was surprised. If he had not witness her cooking in the kitchen, he would have thought she ordered take out from a five star restaurant.

Yue Ling smiles at the manʼs aloof expression with glistening eyes, ”Itʼs not much, but eat up.”

Seeing her pure smile, Lu Tian was once again captivated by the aura she carried with her. Her smile alone can really relax oneʼs mind.

He glance down at the food.

In his entire life, he had never ate at the same table with a woman, besides his mother and cousin.

Even stranger to him was he liked this feeling.

The feeling of being able to accompany her at the dinner table.

When she was cooking in the kitchen and he was in the living room, he felt a piece of him was put together, becoming whole.

Just knowing that she was near, already made him happy.

Never in his entire life had he ever felt this way towards a woman...

With a faint smile, he did as he was told and ate the food his woman had prepared for him.

Being able to catch a glimpse of the manʼs smile despite it being unnoticeable, Yue Ling was surprised.

She stare at the man and her mind was a mess. How can someone look so charming by just smiling so faintly? She had thought his only expressions were a seductive smirk or remaining aloof!

Suddenly, something trigger her brain and she place her chopsticks down.

Noticing her sudden movement, Lu Tian also put his chopstick down and looked at her.

Once his dark eyes met hers, Yue Ling felt her cheeks fire up and she quickly avert her eyes from the man.

”Ahem.” She clear her throat and look back at the man. Ignoring her blushing cheeks, she reach her hand over to the man.

”Kind of late, but I am Han Yue Ling.”

Lu Tian arch a brow, then he reach out to shake her hand. ”Lu Tian.”

”Itʼs nice to meet you, Lu Tian”

”Mm.”

Yue Ling quickly pull her hand back, picked up her chopstick and continue eating.

She had completely forgot that the man she just leisurely shook hands with was the man she lost her virginity to.

However, she missed the look in Lu Tianʼs eyes. He, at this moment was full of happiness like a teenage boy in love.

Hearing her finally say his name was the most soothing sound to his ears. Like a favorite song on repeat.

In a good mood, he continued eating all the food she cooked.

What made his heart softened more was he actually wanted to hold her small hand again and never let go.

Thinking of it, he swore inside, heʼll never let her go.

Even when he told her his name, she did not treat him differently like other people who only got close to him for status.

Ah, but what Lu Tian didnʼt know was that Yue Ling has no idea who he is. She was never one to care about wealth and she was never one to judge others. Her motto in life was, if you respect her, she will respect you, but if you cross the line, she wonʼt hold back.

So even if it was emperor standing in front of her, she will still shrug her shoulders indifferently.
