Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Yue Ling stepped out of the bathroom dressed in a comfortable pajama set of peach. A towel in hand, she dries her damp hair and walks into the bedroom.

However, seeing a certain someone, she arch a brow.

"Why are you frowning?"

Lu Tian held a pillow in his arms as he sat on the kind sized bed. However, his cold expression was replaced with a sulking one and his lip pout like an angry child.

Hearing her question, he turns his head to the side with a ’hmmf’.

Seeing him act like a child who didn’t get what he wanted, Yue Ling was put in a difficult position.

After he helped her come upstairs, she grabbed a set of pajamas and ran into the shower as quickly as she could.

Of course, he followed her into the bathroom by unlocking the door, but she said if he really loves her, he will let her shower by herself.

So forth, he had no choice but to wait outside for her.

Thinking about it, she could still remember the look on his face when he stormed out of the bathroom. He was so angry with her like he wanted to strangle her to death, but knowing he can’t go against her words, he had to leave.

Sounding a very faint chuckle as she clears her throat, she glance at him.

Walking over to him, she gives him a very sweet smile.

Right now, it is best to calm the man.

"Eunuch Lu, I know a deal was made between this one and you, but I can bathe myself. Next time, we can bathe together, okay?"

Lu Tian doesn’t look at her but turn his head the other way with another ’hmmf’.

Heaving a long sigh, Yue Ling stops in front of him. Tossing the towel on the floor, she place both her hands are on her hips.

"Tian, are you a child?"

Hearing her call him a child, Lu Tian cast her a side glare before turning his head the other way with another ’hmmf’. So what if he is acting like a child, they had clearly made a deal, but she actually went back on it.

"Waahh...."

Yue Ling could not believe this man at all. He’s even more childish than a child. Even Inu doesn’t often act this way to her.

Moving one hand from her hip, she pinch his chin and turn his head to look at her.

Her bluish green eyes locks with his dark ones and she gives him a stern look.

"I promise, starting tomorrow, we can shower together."

Just as her last word fell, Lu Tian moves the pillow to the side and pulls her down to sit on his lap.

A wide grin curls on his lip as it reach his eyes.

"Deal."

"..."

Yue Ling stares in disbelief seeing his smile. She sarcastically scoffs at his quick change of behavior. It was like he wasn’t throwing a childish tantrum at all.

Shaking her head, she part her lips to say something to him. However, before she could utter a sound, her lips were quickly captured by his.

Lu Tian held her back with one hand as the other held the side of her face.

Being able to taste her soft lips full of sweetness, he couldn’t help but deepen the kiss.

His hand press against her back to pull her closer to him. Parting her lips, he found her tongue.

Yue Ling was taken by surprise, but she does not push him away. Closing her eyes, she wraps her arms around his neck, and returns the kiss.

Lost in the passionate kiss, Lu Tian gently lay her on the bed as he press over her. However, he made sure not to put his entire weight on her.

It didn’t take long before their rapid breathing echo inside the bedroom.

Knowing they can’t do the deed, Yue Ling press her palms against his chest and lightly push him away.

"T-Tian, we can’t... I haven’t recovered..."

Lu Tian had moved from her soft lips to her neck, but hearing her words, he could only sigh inside.

He kiss her neck one last time and moves away from her. However, the moment he lift his head and saw her flustered face, he couldn’t help but plant another kiss on her lip then her forehead before moving away from her.

"I just wanted to kiss you."

Laying on his back next to her, he place one arm under her neck as his other arm covers his eyes. He needed to cool his head or else the beast inside him will get out of control.

Before they left Imperial Military Hospital, Doctor Dong strictly warned him about having any intimacy. His wife’s body is still healing from the loss of their child, so he needs to tame the beast inside and let her recover.

Seeing him try to restrain himself, a smile curls on Yue Ling’s lip. She feels bad that he can’t have his way with her, but she is also happy that he has self-control and didn’t turn into a hungry wolf.

Just as she thought this, her eyes widen, and she abruptly sat up.

"Oh God! Liu Shan, Lin Hui, Qi Li and Xu Long are still here!!"

She looks at the door and her cheeks turned even more redder than it already is.

The door to their bedroom wasn’t closed but widely opened.

What is they heard? What if... Oh God, how is she supposed to face them now?

Lu Tian leisurely turn to the side and held his head with one hand. Seeing her panic expression, he faintly smiles.

Sitting up, he looks at her with an indifferent expression.

"So what if they heard us? It’s not like we went all the way."

"..."

Yue Ling froze in place when she heard his shameless words. Her head robotically turns to face him and her nostrils flare with steam.

"How can you calmly say something like that?"

Her jaw clench and she grabs the collar of his shirt. Holding it tightly with both her hands, she shakes him.

"You might not care if anyone hears, but I do! I care!"

Lu Tian remained calm as he allows her to shake him. The him right now needed to concentrate on not laughing let alone smile. Also, she is the only person he will allow to treat him this way.

However, seeing her cute angry face, he was defeated. Grabbing her hands to stop her, he stares straight into her eyes and looks at her with a serious expression.

"They already left."

"..."

Like someone had pour a bucket of ice-cold water on her, Yue Ling was struck dumbfounded. Her mouth opened and close to speak but she was unable to say anything.

Seeing her face full of bewilder, Lu Tian clears his throat and pecks her lip before standing up.

"I’ll go get Inu."

Calmly walking out of the bedroom a wide grin curls on his lip with his teeth showing.

After she ’kicked’ him out of the bathroom, he decided to go out for a smoke. Of course, he made sure the door was closed when he left.

When he stepped into the living room, the four men had informed him that the CCTV outside of Glory had capture Steelhead going inside.

Wanting to follow Yue Ling’s order of keeping an eye on the man, they decided to go take a look. It was also just in case Chu Li Xiang decides to appear.

So, in conclusion to Yue Ling’s worry, the four men had long left the house. Also, he (Lu Tian) will never let anyone hear his wife’s seductive voice in bed.

Smiling to himself, he walks to the door leading to the back courtyard to let Inu inside.
