Chapter 910 Had to go somewhere
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
The car ride back to De L’amour was quiet as neither Yue Ling nor Liu Shan spoke. Before either person realized it, they had arrived at De L’amour’s parking lot.
Yue Ling looks out the window to the gloomy sky and heavy rain. She reaches to the side to get an umbrella before opening the door.
“You don’t have to go inside. Everyone must have left home already, so you should be on your way too.”
Liu Shan was about to exit the car when he heard her words. His hand paused at the door handle and turned to look at his boss.
“What about you? Do you want me to send you home?”
Since they spent quite a long time with Qin Jun and the others, he wasn’t sure if Lu Tian was coming to pick her up. If the man wasn’t, he couldn’t leave his boss alone at the company.
Yue Ling smiles at him and steps outside after opening the umbrella. She turns back to Liu Shan, and her voice sounds.
“Don’t worry. Tian is picking me up. Until then, I’ll wait inside.”
She knew Liu Shan would ask if she was alright after what happened, but left no room for him to ask and closed the door.
She walks in the rain to the front entrance of De L’amour without looking back to see if her assistant has left the parking lot or not. She stops a few feet from the door and looks up at the dark building that coordinates well with the gloomy sky.
She didn’t know why but after meeting with Qin Jun and the others, she felt something was off about their behaviors. She could tell they were happy to see her, but at the same time, it was like they were trying to hide something from her.
However, the situation took a different turn before she could put her finger on what it was.
She stares at the De L’amour for a long second before deciding not to overthink it.
Her gaze lowers to the door, and she walks inside the building to escape the rain.
“Yue Ling.”
She had only taken a step inside the place when a deep voice called out from behind. It was a familiar voice and one that always eased her mind.
She turns around to look at the person, and her bluish-green eyes are met with a pair of dark ones.
Although she had yet to recover from her emotions, she forced herself to smile.
“Tian, did you just arrive?”
Lu Tian stood outside the door with eyes gazing at his wife. He takes in her beauty for a second before walking towards her.
He took the umbrella from her, set it aside, and then brushed away any raindrops on her coat.
“I arrived fifteen minutes ago.”
The second he got off work, he rushed here since it was pouring rain. He didn’t want his wife to wait for him, but when he arrived, he was informed that she had not returned from meeting with Cloth Co.
He called his mother and asked why she was keeping his wife away. However, it wasn’t until then that he learned his wife had left hours ago.
When he heard this, he wanted to call her but knowing she must have her reasons for being late, he held himself back.
He decided to wait for her in the lobby. However, as her employees began to leave for home, she still did not return.
Fretting over this, he steps outside to have a smoke to calm his mind. He shouldn’t jump to conclusions and wait patiently for her.
He had only taken one puff of the cigarette when he saw her appear in front of him. He was relieved and was about to call out to her but stopped when he noticed her suddenly stop.
Her expression at her company looked so sad and lonely when she stared up.
All he could do was stand there and quietly watch her.
It wasn’t until she moved that he did the same.
And it wasn’t until then that he was able to find his voice.
Oblivious to what he went through, Yue Ling was touched by his small gestures. Once he was done brushing away any spec of raindrops on her, she did the same for him.
“Sorry to keep you waiting. I had to go somewhere after meeting your mother.”
Lu Tian didn’t pry into her whereabouts and gazed down at his wife. His hand raises to gently move the loose strands of hair on her face behind her ear.
“Waiting for you is no problem at all.”
He takes hold of her hand and raises it to his lip before placing a kiss on the back of her hand. His eyes never move from her, and he smiles.
“I’ve already waited my whole life for you.”
His comforting words touched Yue Ling. Her entire being didn’t forget to melt at his affection.
She moves her hand away from his hold and wraps her arms around his waist. She rests her head against his chest and closes her eyes. It was as if she wanted to erase any unnecessary emotions in her.
Her head presses more into his chest, and she unknowingly inhales his soothing scent.
“Thank you for loving me.”
Seeing her unexpected behavior, Lu Tian felt his heart soften for her. He softly chuckles and stroke her head.
“Loving you is what I live to do.”
He secures her in a tighter embrace, unaware of how much his words mean to her.
He wanted to keep her in his arms, but remembering their plan to have dinner with his family, he reluctantly pulled away.
He reaches for her hand and uses his other free hand to pick up the umbrella he had set aside.
“Let’s go. My parents are waiting for us.
Unaware of the feelings she cast aside, he opened the umbrella to shelter them from the rain but ensured that the umbrella mainly covered his wife. He guides her to his car, parked on the street, and helps her get inside.
As the couple leave, Liu Shan, who takes notice of this, also leaves. However, he goes in the opposite direction of the couple.
While Yue Ling and Lu Tian made their way to the Lu family house, in another part of Imperial, a white Mercedes stopped in front of Imperial Hotel.
Ji Chu Hua, dressed in all white, steps out into view. She hands the valet worker her keys and walks toward the hotel.
“Good evening, Miss Ji. Do you have a reservation with us?”
A female employee greets her upon arrival. Everyone working in Imperial Hotel knows that Ji Chu Hua is a valuable guest and must treat her with the utmost respect.
Ji Chu Hua held her chin high like she was superior but put on a sweet appearance and smiled politely at the employee.
“I’m meeting someone in the VIP section.”
The employee wasn’t the least bit surprised by her response. She smiles and gestures to elevators leading to the rooms before bowing.
“Please do go ahead. If there is anything you need, notify the front desk.”
Ji Chu Hua doesn’t glance at the woman and walks forward. When she arrived at the elevator, another employee was already holding the door open for her.
She enters the metal box and soon arrives at the VIP floor.
She leisurely makes her way to the appointed room. Doing so, she takes out her phone from her purse and dials a number.
The call rang twice before the line connected, and a man’s voice vaguely sounded from the other line.
[“Are you here?”]
“I’m here.”
She spoke the two words and stopped in front of a door. Just as she places her phone back inside her purse, the door opens, and a man in a white robe greets her.
“You’re here earlier than I expected.”
His blonde hair covering half of his face was damped, and one could see that he had just finished taking a shower.
Ji Chu Hua stares at the man and then glances inside the room before turning her eyes to him.
“Are you going to make me stand out here or let me come inside?”
The man ponders at her question, then nonchalantly shrugs his shoulders.
“The choice is yours.”
Ji Chu Hua was baffled by his behavior as no man dares to treat her this way except this man. She straightens herself and pushes the door open, but her eyes widen slightly in shock.
The man was not alone inside the room as there was another woman inside. She was buttoning her blouse, and Ji Chu Hua knew from a glance what had happened before her arrival.
Her blood ran cold, and she clenched her fists. She wanted to lash out at the man for bringing another woman here but dug her nails into her palm to stop herself.
She ignores the woman and walks inside the room. As she passed the woman, she didn’t forget to glare daggers at the woman.
However, despite her stare that could stab a person to death, the woman feigns ignorance.
She (the woman) puts on her coat and walks over to the man. She kisses his lips and acts as if Ji Chu Hua is not here.
“I had a great time. Call me again if you’re ever bored.”
Her words were like a taunt toward Ji Chu Hua. She (Ji Chu Hua) watches as the man doesn’t push the woman away but sees her out of the room.
He sits on the bed and reaches for a cigarette on the bedside table.
“Did you bring it?”
He lights the cigarette and inhales a puff before blowing the smoke out, looking at Ji Chu Hua.
Ji Chu Hua sneers at the man but walks over to a table. She places her purse down and reaches inside to take out a folder before handing it to him.
“It’s settled. I made sure to find the best surgeon for you. All the details are in here.”
The man takes the folder and opens it. He flips through the pages and scans each word. Once satisfied with what he saw, he closes it and sets it on the bedside table.
“You amaze me in so many ways.”
He laughs and takes one last puff of the cigarette before killing it on the ashtray. He tilts his head and gives Ji Chu Hua a lascivious smirk.
“You know, that woman didn’t satisfy me. How about you do it?”
Ji Chu Hua was annoyed by his words. She couldn’t believe he was asking her to sleep with him after just sleeping with another woman.
She wanted to decline since she was meeting Gu Ting Fei after this but staring at the man in front of her, she removed her coat.
“I can’t stay too long. I have to meet someone.”
She sets her coat on a chair and kneels in front of the man between his legs. She unties his robe, revealing his naked toned body.
The man arches an eyebrow at her but puts his palms on the bed to support himself. He smirks down at Ji Chu Hua, who is stroking him and then taking his length with her mouth.
He held her head with one hand and smirked.
“I’m guessing this someone is that so-called boyfriend of yours?”
Ji Chu Hua couldn’t answer but glance up at him as her head motioned back and forth.
Her lustful expression turned the man on even more as his grin widened.
“I wonder what he’ll think if he knew what you are doing right now.”
The words escaped his mouth as his breathing turned heavy. He looked fixedly at her vulgar expression and tilted his head back with a low groan.
