Unexpected Second Chance at Love Chapter 784 Came to get you

Chapter 784 Came to get you

"Tian?"

Yue Ling calls out the name of the man she loves wholeheartedly. Her voice was not too loud, nor was it too quiet. Anyone who heard or saw her at this moment would think she is trying to be quiet as to not attract attention.

Just as she takes the final step behind the shelf, her lips parted in an attempt to call his name again, but she stopped herself when she spotted him.

Lu Tian sat in a chair like a n.o.ble ruler. He had one leg crossed over the other, making a four-figure. Both his elbows rested on either side of the armrest, and his head was slightly lowered.

She thought he might be looking at his phone, but when she followed his line of sight down, she was in for a surprise. He wasn't staring at his phone but on the floor under his foot. His expression was indifferent, but she could tell that he was in deep thoughts.

Yue Ling watched him from a short distance. She doesn't make another sound as she was in her own daze of admiring his entire being.

She inhales a breath to sigh, but just as she was about to exhale, she notices a slight chill brush against her skin. She frowns at this and looks around in confusion.

Why does it feel like the temperature in this area suddenly dropped?

She looks around to the heater vent, and her frown deepens a little.

"That's odd… It looks to be working fine."

She whispers to herself as she didn't feel cold even though she was wearing a dress.

Thinking this way, she looks back at Lu Tian and sees how he hasn't noticed her. She looks back in the direction she had come from. She wanted to ask an employee to confirm whether the heater is working correctly.

However, her bluish-green eyes quickly met Madam Lu's brown eyes in the distance.

Before she could say anything, Madam Lu parts her lip and says something inaudibly.

Yue Ling blinked her eyes in bewilder when she saw this. As someone partially raised in the underworld, her maternal grandfather taught her how to lip read.

When she read Madam Lu's words in her head, she smiles with her teeth but made no sound.

She looked back at Lu Tian, who was still distracted in his own world.

Now she understood why this part of the room was so cold. Compared to the rest of the bright and cheerful s.p.a.ce, she could see dark clouds hovering above Lu Tian's head.

He didn't look like a n.o.ble ruler any more, but instead, he looked like a little child sulking because he had been left behind.

Lifting one leg, she takes a step forward then another as she approached him.

"Why are you sulking alone over here?"

Her angelic voice sounds with a smile still on her face. She stops in front of Lu Tian, but he even didn't react or look up at her like before.

"Tian?"

She calls out to him but this time a little louder. Taking a step to the side of his legs, she squats down with a tilted head and stares at him.

"Are you sulking because I took too long? Is that why you're not answering me?"

Lu Tian was deep lost in his own thoughts regarding the phone call he made in the car. When he saw a familiar figure suddenly appear at his side, he comes back to his senses and turns his head to look.

Seeing his wife's beautiful and smiling face, he didn't get startled but smiles at her.

"You look beautiful."

Yue Ling was surprised when their eyes met without warning. She felt her cheeks burn red and stood up as she had gotten his attention.

"I came to get you. Your mother, aunt, and cousin are waiting for us."

Lu Tian's head slowly raises as his eyes follow his wife's movements. He stood up like he had been hypnotized by her words but seeing her in the Adriatic mist dress, time slowed down.

His heart slowly beats in a loud but slow rhythm like it was right by his ear.

"Truly beautiful…"

He murmurs like a dazed hunter mesmerized by a fairy in an enchanted forest.

Yue Ling stares down at him as she hadn��t walked away. She looks down at the dress she is wearing and smiles with an agreeing nod to his words.

"This dress is beautiful. I must thank your mother for having great taste."

The dress was one of the many that Madam Lu had picked out for her. When she first saw it, she was skeptical as the color is something she wouldn't wear every day. However, she decided to give it a try, and she is glad she did.

Thinking this about Madam Lu, she (Yue Ling) wanted to smack herself on her head. How could she get distracted again?

She lifts her head to look at Lu Tian again but inhales a mouthful of air. He was suddenly standing in front of her with only a few inches between them.

"I wasn't referring to the dress."

Their eyes locked, and Lu Tian's deep voice sounds as he inches closer to her. Once he was close enough, he slides a hand around her waist, and his palm settles on her back.

"I was referring to you."

His voice was one that can make any woman fall into a trance. Yue Ling no exception. However, when his palm felt the softness of her bareback, his eyebrows crease together tightly.

"That's odd. I don't recall the details of the dress being this revealing."

When his mother picked out the dress for his wife, he had carefully observed the details from the side. If it had been too revealing, he would have said no right away.

He didn't want his wife wearing a revealing dress. This will make other men have sick thoughts during their engagement party.

Yue Ling's body quivered at the touch of his cold hand on her skin. Her ears turn red in matching with her cheeks, but she doesn't push him away.

"Ah, you just reminded me."

She turns around with her back to him and raises her right arm. She gathers her hair together and moves it to one side of her shoulder.

"Can you help me with the zipper? I couldn't reach it when I was in the fitting room and forgot to ask Ya'Er for help."

Lu Tian frowns at her words. For some reason, she sounded so natural, like she had been in this situation too many times.

He quickly brushes the thought away when he remembers her career choice as a model. It was indeed natural for her.

Moving his hand from around her, both his hands raised to fix the zipper. However, midway into doing this, he froze in place.
