Unexpected Second Chance at Love Chapter 661 Company needs me

The rain that came over Imperial finally calms down and the gray clouds scatter to make room for the sun that is slowly rising in the east.

Yue Ling and Lu Tian slept peacefully as the couple had another long night. After their return from the Nuo family's food stall, another round of pa.s.sion took place once again.

Lu Tian wanted to continue a few more rounds, but knowing that his wife was tired, he decides to let her sleep.

In the center of the king-size bed, Yue Ling slept on her side and sighs softly as she awoke from her slumber. She wanted to stretch her stiff arms but was unable to because the man behind her had his arms wrapped around her like a snake.

Feeling her slight movement, Lu Tian doesn't open his eyes but tightens his hold on her. He rests his chin on top of her head and the s.p.a.ce between his brows crease a little.

"It's still early. Sleep some more."

His voice was deeper than usual and held a mixture of husk that made Yue Ling's cheeks flush red. It is so early in the morning and his voice alone was enough to make her pregnant.

As the thought crosses her mind, she couldn't help but think about how close they've been the past two nights. However, as quickly as she blushed over the thought, it gradually fades, and she became downhearted.

Ever since her miscarriage, she was told she couldn't get pregnant anymore, but Lu Tian had whispered to her over and over that if they keep trying, a miracle can happen.

She softly sighs and reaches a hand to hold his hand that was placed over her waist. Bringing it up to her lips, she places a soft kiss on the back of his hand.

"Tian, we have to get up."

Her words fell as she repositions herself to turn and face the man. She gently nudges him by the shoulder and her words continue.

"Come on. We have to get ready for work."

Lu Tian held a smile like he was on cloud nine when he felt her kiss his hand. However, when she turned to face him, he wipes the smile away and pretends like he didn't hear anything. He waited a few seconds before pulling her closer to his chest.

"I don't want to…"

With their sudden closeness, Yue Ling was baffled at his childlike behavior. He was like a child who didn't want to wake up for school. However, her body stiffened, and she didn't dare to move, let alone breathe. How could she forget that they had slept without any clothes on?

She curses, punches, and kicks with all her strength inside her head.

Taking a deep breath to calm her hectic mind, she looks up at the handsome sleeping beast in front of her.

"You don't want to get up, but I have to. Remember, I can go back to work now."

Lu Tian frowns at her words and opens his eyes to gaze into her own. He heaves a long sigh in displeasure and leans back to lay on his back. His arm holding his wife's waist moves and he pinches the s.p.a.ce between his brows.

"d.a.m.n that old man."

He swore a mumble and lowers his hand to stare up at the ceiling.

When they were on their way home from eating out, his wife had checked her e-mail and coincidentally, Doctor Dong had sent her an e-mail giving her permission to return to work.

And knowing his wife, she will not want to rest a few more days and jump right back to work.

He even tried to tire her body out so that she would forget in the morning.

However, here she is, early in the morning reminding him.

He sighs again, but this time inside. His head turns to the right and he looks down at his wife.

"Why can't you just stay home and be a housewife? I can provide for both of us."

Yue Ling felt her heart melt like a popsicle on a warm day. She places her palms on his chest and rests her chin on the back of her hand.

"Why can't YOU stay home and be a househusband? I can provide for both of us."

"…"

Lu Tian was left speechless by her throwing his question back at him. She even emphasized the 'you' part as if she was trying to make a point.

He stares at her with indifference before he chuckles and lightly tap her nose.

"Do you really have to go? You don't want to take a few more days of rest?"

Yue Ling smiles at his attempt to make her stay home. She is happy that he cares about her wellbeing, but she has rested long enough.

She stretched her neck and kiss his smooth chin.

"I've rested enough. My company needs me just like how yours needs you."

She quickly gets out from bed and forces her trembling legs to carry her body towards the lavatory. If she didn't act fast enough, she knows that Lu Tian will try to make her stay in bed.

Lu Tian chuckles watching her figure scurry away as fast as a lightning flash. He sits up and moves the blanket off of him before standing up.

His eyes lock with the shut door leading to the lavatory and one corner of his mouth arcs up into a devilish smirk.

She can lock the door all she wants and say she doesn't need to rest, but that won't stop him. Once he opens that door, he wants to see if she'll still say she's rested enough.

However, time sped up and Yue Ling's white Maserati GranTurismo sports car pulls up to a stop in front of De L'amour. As the owner of the car, Yue Ling was seated in the pa.s.senger seat and she turns her head to look at the man in the driver seat.

She held herself back from smiling and place a hand on his shoulder to pacify him.

"Tian, it's okay."

When she went to freshen up for the day, he had turned into a ninja and snuck his way inside the lavatory to devour her. However, despite her unable to feel her legs, she still forced herself to get ready for work. She even put on a smile and said she was fine.

Thus, everything she did lead Lu Tian's plan of making her stay home to fail.

Thinking about how wrong his plan went, Yue Ling was unable to hold herself back and grin from ear to ear. She leans towards his dazed figure and kisses him on the cheeks before grabbing her work bag.

"I know you tried, but work is work."

She gives him a smile with her teeth and opens the door to leave.

"I'll see you later. Have a good day at work."

With a wave goodbye, she closes the door and doesn't look back as she proceeds towards De L'amour.

Inside the car, Lu Tian remained in utter disbelief at everything that happened. He slowly turns his head to look at his wife's departing figure and he sighs in self-pity.

However, the longer he stares at her, the softer his heart grew, and he thought back to her kiss on his cheek.

A mischievous smile curls on his face and he looks away from his wife to the road ahead.

"I did try, but practice makes perfect."

He may have failed in keeping her home today, but next time, he'll make sure she can't get out of bed for an entire week.
