Unexpected Second Chance at Love

————-

In a very secluded area from Imperial, a house stood it’s ground. Alone and stranded as trees surround it like a blanket. All the lights in the house was on, but only the master bedroom was very on.

Converse in an intense activity was a man and woman sharing their desires as one.

"Ahh~!"

A woman with brown hair cried a moan as she reached her climax. The man on top of her pulls out and stood from the bed. His naked figure disappears into the bathroom to clean off.

The woman glance in the direction the man went. Laying in the bed, she sighs before reaching for her phone. Sliding her screen unlock, she scrolls through her WeChat. Seeing a post, she couldn’t help but smile.

"What are you smiling about?"

The man’s sudden voice catches the woman’s attention. She smiles at him and puts her phone back on the side table.

"It’s nothing. I was reading a friend’s post."

She stare at the man as he walks towards her. He had wrapped himself with a robe, but his long blonde hair covering half his face made him look even more alluring.

Sitting up, the hands a cigarette to the man and flick the lighter on.

"You always know me best. Don’t you, Hua."

Hua smiles at the man. After the cigarette was lit, she place the lighter down. She looked at the man and she lays down on her side.

"Any thing for you, Sun."

Choi Li Sun sat down on a chair by the window and smoked the cigarette. Taking a puff, his eyes looked indifferently at the woman in bed.

His mind could not help, but think about how he got to this situation. If it wasn’t for someone’s small mistake, he, a famous underworld boss, would never have to hide here.

"Have you started what I ordered you to do?"

Lifting her arm, her fingers ran through her hair, allowing it to slowly fall onto her shoulder like silk.

"I have. It’s only a matter of time before everything falls into place."

"Good."

Sun blows a puff of smoke out the window. He leaned against the chair and smirk. Staring at the burning end of his cigarette, his eyes held dangerous and evil thoughts.

Once Hua completes this task, he can proceed with the rest of his plans. Even if he’s hiding in China, his men back in City Z are laying low until he give the order. Of course, for now, he can only use Hua to help him hide.

Watching the man in a daze, Hua stood from the bed and walks over to him. Leaning over to Sun, she place her hands on his shoulders.

"I want to take a shower."

She plants a kiss on Sun’s lip and walks in the direction of the bathroom. Her naked body was exposed as she did not care if the man was watching her intensely.

Moments after, the sound of the shower running sounds the room. Sun glance at the bathroom. Killing the cigarette, he stood from the chair and untied the robe. Making his way to the bathroom, he joins the brown hair beauty in the shower.

"Woof."

Inu sounds a small bark. He circle around his mommy and gently nudge his head by her leg.

"What is it baby?"

Yue Ling swallow her food and lower her head to the Samoyed. When Inu knew that he had caught his mommy’s attention, he lift his head to meet her eyes and gesture to her. She turn in the direction he pointed with his head and she was surprised.

"Oh my, I didn’t even realized that the sun had set. Tian, why didn’t you say something."

"You didn’t ask."

Lu Tian glance at his wife and shrug his shoulder indifferently. He just continued to eat his barbecue chicken stick.

"..."

Staring at the man, Yue Ling was dumbfounded. Lu Tian looked cold and aloof, but each time he took a bite out of the food, she could see a tinge of happiness in his dark eyes.

Shaking her head, she looks at the old lady, "Nai nai, how much is the total?"

The old lady grinned, "100 yuan."

Yue Ling smiles and hands the old lady 200 yuan. She didn’t show any hesitation at all.

Lu Tian: "....."

Seeing the amount given, he frown. Not because of the wrong amount, but in confusion. Judging from the food they ate and calculating the total, it would of been only 30 yuan. Why would the old lady say 100 yuan and his wife give 200?

"Come Tian, let’s go."

Yue Ling wrap her arms with Lu Tian’s and smiles at the man. She didn’t want for an answer and quickly drag him away.

Looking back, she smiles and wave her hand to the old lady with a cheerful smile.

"Nai nai! I’ll come back to eat more next time!"

"Come visit soon."

The old lady smiles and chuckles at Yue Ling’s happy expression. She waved both her hands back and looked like a small elementary kid.

Turning to look ahead, when they were a distance away from the food stall, Yue Ling’s cheerful expression disappeared. She sighed and grief filled her.

"What’s wrong?"

Lu Tian asked as he glance down at his wife. He slightly pout his lip. Just moments ago she was happy and now, she’s like this. Was it because she realized she had been lied to?

"Tian...."

Yue Ling stopped in her steps and looks up at the man. Her eyes held thousands of emotions. Emotions that could not be put into words.

"That nai nai... she has Alzheimer..."

Lu Tian arch a brow in shocked and surprise. Who wouldn’t have the same reaction as he did to his wife? His wife knew by one glance only?

He furrow his brows and try to recall the old lady’s actions, but he couldn’t put everything together. The old lady acted like someone of old age only.

Seeing Lu Tian’s confused look, Yue Ling sighed. Tightening her hand around his, she smiles faintly.

"My Hal-abeoji was diagnosed with Alzheimer before he left this world. I guess you can say, it’s something I’ve become accustomed at a glance. You know—"

*craaaaaaasssh!!*

"HEY!! WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING?!!"

"STOP!!!"

Just before Yue Ling could continue her words, the voices of people shouting over voiced hers and running in the direction they had came from.

Turning her head, she frown and tries to see. When her eyes caught sight of the situation, it widens in shocked.

"What is it?"

Lu Tian asked. At first, he didn’t care for it, but seeing the change in his wife’s expression, he knew something must be wrong. Following her eyes, his eyes dimmed when he sees what she saw. Some people had started to gather around the small food stall that they had just come from.

"Tian, let’s go see what happened."

"Mm."

Walking up to the food stall, Inu squeezed through the crowd, while Lu Tian stretch his arms out to let his wife pass through.

The people gathered were more than they thought. Some shouting while some there to see what happened.

"Let her go! She didn’t do anything!"

"Why are you hooligans doing this?!"

Just when Yue Ling reached the front of the crowd, her eyes slightly falter before they darken. From behind, the space between Lu Tian’s brow creased into two lines and his eyes turned dangerous. Grabbing Yue Ling’s hand, he quickly, but gently shove her behind him.

"Stay behind me."
