Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Leaving the underground parking lot near the underworld, Lu Tian stepped on the accelerator and sped home like he was racing to the finish line.

By the time he arrived home, it was already late into the night, but what should have taken a little more than an hour was done no more than thirty minutes.

If it had been his car, he would have just parked it out in the front driveway, but because he was in his wifeʼs car, he made sure to park it inside the garage before striding close to a jog home.

Upon entering Yue Ling and his house, all was quiet like his wife was not even home yet. However, he knew that she was home thanks to the lights above the stairs.

He sighs in relief and change out of his shoes into a pair of house slippers. As he did so, he didnʼt forget to check the time.

It was already 11pm.

No wonder the house was quiet. His wife must have gone to bed since he was out and Inu was not home to bother her. Not only that, before he left her company, he had told her not to wait up for him.

Thinking about it now, he was regretting the idea. He should have told her to wait up for him. That way, when he enters the house, he would be greeted by her.

However, knowing that what is said had already been said, he makes his way up the stairs.

As he walked through the upstairs hallway to their bedroom, he removes his coat and suit jacket. Eyes glued to the door to their bedroom, he could see that it was left open ajar and little light can be seen inside.

Reaching the door, he carefully push it open and enters the room. He didnʼt have to search as his eyes had already landed on the slender outline of his wife under the blanket.

A very faint smile curls on Lu Tianʼs lip as he saw her sleeping peacefully.

She was sleeping on her back with both her hands on her abdomen. The blanket covered only the lower half of her body as her head was slightly turned to side of the bed he slept on.

Catching a glimpse of her phone under her hands, he chuckles quietly. She must have tried to stay up and wait for him but fell asleep.

Taking a very quiet step then another, he walks over to the bed. He made sure to not make a sound so that he would not wake her up.

As he nears her sleeping figure, his entire being softens like melted butter. He carefully removes her phone and set on the side table before reaching for the blanket. He gently pulls it up to cover her body, but the more he stared at her beautiful face, he couldnʼt help but sit down on the edge of the bed.

She looked so breath taking and at peace. It was as if the corrupted world outside can never get the worse of her at all.

Mesmerized by her sleeping face, he couldnʼt help but reach a hand to hold her cheek and gently caress her soft skin with his thumb.

Realizing what he was doing, he quickly moves his cold hand away as he was now afraid that she would wake up.

However, before he could retrieve his hand, Yue Ling doesnʼt wake up, but tilt her head closer to his palm as if to feel if he were really there.

Like she had confirmed that it was him, he could see a smile curl on her face.

Lu Tian couldnʼt help but smile with her. This time, his smile was not faint as anyone who were to enter the room would be able to see it.

He decides not to move his hand and watch her continue to nestle against his palm like a sleeping kitten.

He swore, every time he is with her, she is like the warm sun that brightens his dark world. If he never met her, there is no doubt that he would ever learn how to love someone so much.

So much that just the thought of losing her scares him more than anything.

He slowly leans down to her and decides to steal a kiss before changing out of his clothes.

However, the second he felt her soft lips against his, he sighs inside and couldnʼt bring himself to move away.

She is definitely his weakness and a drug that gives him the will to continue living.

Unaware of the man, Yue Ling slightly furrow her brows in her sleep. The faint cold air that was brushing against her as she slept was suddenly gone follow by pressure on her lips.

ʼWhat is this feeling? Itʼs so soft and sweet.ʼ

Thinking in her sleep, she inhales a deep breath and the corners of her lip curls up. The air that entered her nose brought along the fragrance of the man she loves.

”Mmm…”

A soft moan sounds from her and her smile curls up more. Maybe is was because she misses Lu Tian while waiting for him that the shameless side of her decided to let her dream about him.

However, in her groggy sleepy daze, the corners of her lip lowers and her brows crease together.

ʼHm? Why does this feel so real? Eh, why did the kiss suddenly turn rough?ʼ

As she thought in her sleep, she was suddenly wash with confusion. Why are her lips gently being forced open?

ʼWhy…ʼ

Before her tired mind could further her dream more, she feels something wet and soft enter her mouth.

Her eyes shot open and inside the dimly lit bedroom, she comes into contact with Lu Tianʼs face up close.

”…”

She blinks her eyes a couple of times to clear her vision, but still in a daze, she subconsciously looks at his eyes that were closed.

ʼWow, what long eyelashes he has.ʼ

Just as she thought this, blood rush up to her face and she turns into a tomato in bed.

”Mmf!”

Finally coming to her senses, she struggles under the man to free herself. However, her gesture was like an invitation that alerted Lu Tian of her awareness.

He held her cheek with one hand as his other hand reach down to hold the side of her waist and he deepens the kiss even more.

What started as a soft and gentle kiss quickly escalated into that of a predator devouring his prey.

After a long minute passes by, only their heavy breathing through their kiss could be heard inside the room. It was then that Lu Tian reluctantly lets her go.

His hand holding her cheek slightly moves, but only enough so that he can trace her swollen red lips with his thumb.

A soft, yet devilish smile curls on his lip as he gaze lovingly into her bluish green eyes. He leans closer to her again and pecks a kiss on her lip then her forehead before meeting her eyes again.

”Iʼm sorry. Did I wake you up?”
