"Have you eaten yet?"

Yue Ling asked as she opens the refrigerator. She didn’t eat, so she was as hungry as a mother bear.

Lu Tian turned around from the couch and the moment he saw what she was wearing, he felt his heart tighten.

It wasn’t a suffocating feeling, more like butterflies flying around his heart.

She had just came out from showering. Her hair was still damp. On her was a black oversized T-shirt with the word De L’amour on the front in cursive.

The T-shirt on her figure was enough to make his heart flutter. However, seeing the grey thigh high socks, it made him felt even more turned on.

He gulped in frustration. He needed to calm down, before the beast down there decide it wants to wake up.

He couldn’t turn back to being the hungry wolf he is... not just yet.

Not hearing an answer, Yue Ling tilt her head to look at Lu Tian.

"Tian, did you eat yet?"

"...."

Hearing her say his name alone, he felt like he was floating on cloud nine. A warm and faint smile cross his lips.

’Tian.... how nice did that sound from her.’

Remembering her question, Lu Tian wanted to lie that he ate the untouched food from the afternoon, but hearing her ask again, his stomach decided it was the perfect time to growl.

"No."

Yue Ling stare at the man with her brows raise in amusement, "You haven’t? I thought you would have cooked when you came home."

While she got busy rummaging through the fridge, she didn’t see the expression on the man in the livingroom.

First, it was the way she said his name, and now, she had said ’home’.

Looking at the busy woman, he couldn’t help but feel at ease. To him, she was his home from now on.

The tension in Lu Tian’s heart relaxed, destroying all the anger and frustrations he had for her.

Due to it being late, Yue Ling decides to make congee, since it was easier for the stomach to digest.

Letting the congee slowly cook, she wash some vegetables and shrimp. Then she stir fry the shrimp and vegetables separately. Adding some seasonings to each dish, the aroma rise throughout the penthouse.

Slowly, it makes it way to Lu Tian’s nose.

Setting the documents down, he couldn’t but go to the kitchen. The smell was enough to let him know her cooking was delicious.

Before he could step into the kitchen, he stopped and looked at Yue Ling with loving eyes.

From where he stood in the livingroom, he could still see her busying herself in the kitchen. The same unexplainable feeling he’s been feeling swells in his heart again.

He really wouldn’t mind being able to stay like this forever.

They may have just met, but the feeling of having her close by made him felt at home.

She gave him a feeling he’s never felt before.

Staring at her back, he frown when a sudden image flash in his mind. It was the back of a little girl from his past... But he couldn’t remember when and who...

"Come, I just need to get the congee then we can eat."

The sound of her soothing voice enter his ears, bring him back. Ignoring what he just thought about, he sat down and waited for Yue Ling to bring the congee.

Yue Ling place one bowl of congee in front of Lu Tian, then one for her. Sitting across from him, she could feel the happiness behind his cold expression. She smiled and couldn’t help but feel happiness too.

She didn’t wait and started eating. She was hungry and she didn’t care if she wasn’t lady-like. To her, if a man really loves a woman, he wouldn’t be bothered by the way she eats.

Yue Ling: "How was work?"

Lu Tian: "Fine." he paused, then asked, "You?"

He wasn’t sure if she would tell him why she was out late, but did he have the rights to know?

Yue Ling didn’t hide anything. She smiled and told him about her day at work in full details.

Lu Tian stopped eating and just look at her. Every time she spoke, she would make all kinds of expressions and from time to time, she would wave her hand making gestures.

He knew just from seeing her, he’ll never get tired of her. Especially seeing all kinds of expressions from from her, he found her more attractive.

"And lastly, I sent my employees home at 6:30pm."

Hearing this, Lu Tian pout his lip. She had dismissed her workers early, but why did she get back so late?

Did she really meet with...Inu?

He felt like asking, but he knew he couldn’t. She wasn’t questioning him, so how can he just question her...

But.. she is his woman, it should be fine right?

Hesitating for a good five second, he decided to ask. If she answers then she answers. If she doesn’t, he won’t press her.

"Why did you come back so late?"
