Unexpected Second Chance at Love

In the living room of Yue Ling and Lu Tian’s new house, the aloof man had already changed out of his tuxedo into a set of loungewear.

He sat on one of the couches while Inu sat on the one across from him.

Both the human and Samoyed had their eyes glued on the coffee table that separated them.

Set on top of the table is a white polar bear that Lu Tian had set down. It was one of Inu’s toys that he loves the most.

However, at this moment, the eyes of the businessman and the Samoyed were like hunters in a forest ready to attack their lunch.

Without moving his eyes away from the polar bear, Lu Tian carefully stretch his arm to the side and press a button on his phone.

"Jít."

He spoke the foreign word the same time his finger touched his phone, but he does not move.

In that very same moment, Inu who was calmly sitting across made his move. He lungs toward the coffee table and grabs the polar bear with his mouth.

He then jumps down from the table and turn to look at the man.

Lu Tian presses his phone again and brings it closer to him. Glancing down at the screen, he arch a brow.

"3.48 seconds."

He looks at Inu and is met with an expression as if saying, ’I’m the fastest creature in the world!’

Like he was able to read the Samoyed’s mind, Lu Tian shook his head and place his phone on the table. Leaning back against the couch, he cross his arms over his chest.

"You are 15 hundredths of a second faster than your last one."

"..."

Hearing the man like he understood those words, Inu stares at him with heavy eyes.

He walks back to the table and set the polar bear on the table in the same position it was on earlier.

Without waiting, he jumps onto the couch and face Lu Tian again.

Seeing him do so, both Lu Tian’s brows arch up. However, not saying a word, he reach for his phone and reset the timer.

Ever since he finished changing, he and Inu had been going at this for a while. When he says go, Inu is to grab the polar bear and get down from the table as fast as he can.

It is to help calculate how fast the little guy can move.

The Samoyed had started off at five seconds, then within each passing time, the number would decrease as Inu’s speed seemed to increase.

Thinking this, he held his phone and looks at Inu.

"Ready?"

"Wroof—"

Inu quickly barks an answer. His head slightly lowers with eyes focusing on the polar bear like he was trying to make it move without touching it.

"Seems like you both are having fun."

Just as Lu Tian was about to press the button for the timer on his phone, Yue Ling’s angelic voice enters his ears.

Both Lu Tian and Inu turn their head in her direction and sees her walking halfway down the stairs.

Yue Ling chuckles as she moves forward in her steps. She had just finished taking a shower and changed out of her green dress into a nightgown and robe.

When she saw that Lu Tian was not in bed, she heard his and Inu’s voice downstairs. Thus, leading her here. However, she did not expect to see such a scene from the two.

Watching her descend from the stairs, Lu Tian did not answer her but stare at her in awe. No matter how many times he sees her, he can never get enough of her.

Her beauty is one that is unparalleled to anyone. Even her personality is kind and loving.

However, as he continues to stare at her, he couldn’t help but think about the dark figure that saved Ji Jingxu and Ting from the Ghost Gang.

The slim figure was a blur in the footage Xu Long retrieved, but it was enough for him to see how the person moved around.

Fast and swift.

Each movement were done like the person had turned into a light feather.

Grandfather Ji had told him that it was his wife who was the mysterious person he had wanted to meet.

However, gazing at her feminine figure approaching him, he can’t seem to believe the old man’s words.

His wife looks so innocent and fragile, so is she really the person who killed without batting an eye?

Feeling the gaze on her, Yue Ling took her last step on the stairs and looks at Lu Tian.

The moment her bluish green pupils met his dark pool like ones, she furrow her brows. Lowering her head, she looks down at her clothes and ponder in thought.

Does her nightgown have a hole somewhere or is there a stain? Why is he looking at her like this?

Not seeing anything that would make him look so seriously at her, she looks back at him and brush the thought away.

It’s not like he’s never looked at her this way before.

"Is everything alright?"

She nonchalantly asks as she walks over to the couch Inu was sitting on. Her eyes never leaving the man’s face at all.

Hearing her question, Lu Tian was brought back to his senses. He looks at her and faintly smile.

"I was just thinking. Grandfather Ji told me that it was you who saved Jingxu and Ting from Ghost Gang. Is it true?"

Just as Yue Ling sat down, his sudden question took her by surprise. She looks at him and didn’t know how to answer him. However, since they are together and he already knows that she is the leader of Fate, she has no need to hide anything from him.

Nodding her head, she sighs a smile.

"Mm, but Liu Shan and Lin Hui were also there."

Listening to her answer, a part of Lu Tian wanted her to deny the truth, but hearing her honestly tell him, he was also relieved.

He doesn’t want her to be involve in dangerous situations, but it also shows that she trusts him enough to let him know about things like this if he were to ask.

Thinking back to it, he could only laugh inside. He was tasked a mission to save a civilian, but in the end, someone beated him to it and it was none other than his wife.

However, what can he say?

She is someone from the underworld and her knowledge of the gangs are far greater than his.

Even that assistant of hers. Xu Long has great hacking skills, but when compare to Liu Shan, he (Lu Tian) feels that his assistant’s skills is still at a lower level.

At the time, Xu Long was barely able to hack into each camera as Liu Shan’s codes were harder to decode.

Thinking this, he thought about her safety and their child. His expression turns into a frown and his deep voice sounds.

"Next time, if something like this happens again, promise me you will let me handle it."
