Unexpected Second Chance at Love Chapter 717 Everything is fine

Chapter 717 Everything is fine

Yue Ling finished freshening up and headed downstairs. She changed into a black turtleneck top that she tucked inside a pair of black wide-leg slacks. Securing at her waist was a black belt with a finis.h.i.+ng gold buckle.

As she walks to the kitchen to meet Lu Tian, she held her work bag in one hand and a tan wool coat on the other hand.

However, before entering the kitchen, she tops in front of the mirror hung at the front entryway. She looks at her reflection and does a quick double-check to see if anything was wrong with her light makeup and hair.

"Good, everything is fine."

She inhales a deep breath and calms herself as she turns away from the mirror.

Although she is the type of person who never cares about how others judge her, she still didn't want Lu Tian to see any more of her embarra.s.sing side.

Walking into the kitchen, she stops at the open wall s.p.a.ce that separated the kitchen and living room. She kept her usual calm expression like she had never been nervous or woken up in a hot mess.

"I won't be having breakfast."

Her tone was like a master informing her servant and it made the man in the kitchen stop what he was doing.

Lu Tian was holding a cup of warm ginger tea in his hand and taking it to the table. Just as he reached the table, he pauses in his steps at her words.

He looks at her for a quick second, then glances at her hair. It was no longer the bird's nest he had saw when she first woke up. Instead, she had nicely straightened it and let it flow down her shoulders to her back.

Thinking about her appearance again, the corners of his mouth twitch every so lightly, but he quickly brushes it aside and forces himself not to tease her.

He looks away from her and continues with what he was doing.

"I made congee with chicken. Eat a little then drink some ginger tea."

Like he had not heard her words at all, he pulls a chair out and gestures for her to sit down.

"It'll help with your hangover."

Yue Ling was dumbfounded by his calm behavior. She could only blink her eyes at him as she knew he wanted to smile but was trying very hard not to.

She glances down at the food and could smell the delicious aroma from the congee. At that moment, her stomach faintly growls but she ignores it and puts on a stern expression.

"It's fine. I need to get to work. I have to meet a textile company today."

She spoke in a matter of fact tone and despite hearing her stomach growl again, she turns away from the kitchen and walks towards the front door.

Lu Tian was at a loss for words by her. He watches her disappear from his view leaving only the living room for him to see.

He heaves a long sigh and walks away from the table. He doesn't follow her right away but grabs a bag from the kitchen counter then follows after her. He had a hunch that she might bail on breakfast, so he packed some congee and ginger tea in advance.

Yue Ling stepped out of the house only to see that her white BMW x5m was not parked in front of the house. She sighs inside and heads in the direction of the garage to see if it was there.

However, like outside, the car was also not parked in the garage.

This allowed her to conclude that she didn't get home by herself.

She walks over to one part of the garage that displayed her motorcycle helmets and set her work bag on the counter. As she puts on her coat, she looks at the gla.s.s safe that house her keys.

"Which car should I drive today?"

Compare to all her vehicles here, the x5m was the least attention-grabbing one, so she prefers to drive it to work. However, now that it isn't here, she needs to carefully choose the right car to drive.

"Yue Ling."

Lu Tian's deep voice suddenly sounds from behind her and made her jump in surprise. Without turning around to him, she opens the gla.s.s safe and quickly grabs a set of car keys.

In a panic state of mind, she grabs her work bag and stride to the car. She didn't forget to look at him and gives him a smile like nothing was wrong.

"Have to go. I don't want to be late for work."

Her words fell as fast as her pace. However, Lu Tian could only arch a brow at her.

Not because of her suspicious behavior but because the first car she went to ended up being the wrong car, then the same for the second car.

He sighs inside and walks over to her, but seeing something from his peripheral vision, his head turns to the many motorcycle helmets.

A faint chuckle escapes his lips and he walks over to the area. He picks up the item he saw and shakes his head at his wife's clumsiness.

Yue Ling didn't bother to pay any attention to the aloof man. She was too frustrated about her current situation. All the cars in this garage belong to her, but why is it so difficult to get to the right one.

*beep beep

She presses the car alarm and finally finding the car she had picked, she was even more dumbfounded.

It was her white Ashton Martin DB11.

She couldn't help but sound a faint sob without any tears and drag her feet towards the car. She opens the driverside door and sat inside as she places her work bag on the pa.s.senger seat.

*knock knock

The moment she turned the car on, a light tap sounds at the dark tinted window next to her. She didn't have to look to see who it was and reach for the window b.u.t.ton.

As the window automatically rolls down, Lu Tian bends a little to be at eye level with his wife. She flashes him a wide grin and chuckles sarcastically.

"C-Can I help you with something?"

Seeing her smile that was not good for his heart, Lu Tian wanted to pull her in for a kiss. However, he held himself back and glance at her pa.s.senger seat then back to her.

"I think this one will be more useful for you."

He raises his left hand and shows her a bag as he smiles a chuckle full of teasing.

"…"

Yue Ling was confused but when she saw the bag in his hand, her eyes widen more than they could, and her mouth slightly opened in shock.

"That's… how?"

She flung her head to look at the pa.s.senger seat and what she saw made her widen eyes turn heavy. Sitting up like a majestic object was not her work bag but one of her helmets.

"Should we swap?"

Lu Tian asked like this incident was a natural occurrence. However, Yue Ling's cheeks flush a shade of crimson red and without looking at him, she embarra.s.singly reaches for the helmet and switches it for her actual work bag.

Another chuckle sounds from Lu Tian as he takes the helmet away from her. He also hands her bag of congee and she dazedly takes it without looking at it.

He leans inside the car and places a kiss on the side of her head.

"Drive safely. Don't forget to eat congee I packed for you when you get to work."
