Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Chapter 365 over for dinner



Yue Ling slowly closes the luggage and zips it up. Scooting it aside, she stood up, but sees Lu Tian also walk back into the room.

However, turning to face him, she notices that he held a complex expression as if something was bothering him. Her head lightly tilt to the side and she decides to ask him.

"Is everything alright?"

Lu Tian was still pondering in thoughts about the sudden phone call he had received. When he heard her soft voice ask a question, he looks at her and a faint smile curls on his lip.

"Mm. Everything is fine."

He leisurely walks over to her and reach to intwine his hand with her soft ones. His small gesture was like it was the most natural thing to do and something he will continue to do so. However, he also continues his words.

"It was a call from my mother. She said to go over for dinner."

Hearing this, Yue Ling nod her head with a face full of understanding.

Even if one is a grown adult, one's parents will always want them to spend time together. Not because they think you cannot cook for yourself, but because, no matter how old you become, you will always be a baby in their eyes.

That is the warmth of having a parent, even if you have only a mother or only a father. Having the love of your parents is the best gift in the world.

Thinking of one's parents, she couldn't help but miss the love and affection of her own. It's been so many years since she's had her mother's home cooked meal, yet, it is also something she will never get to taste again.

Her free hand slowly lift to touch her stomach and she smiles a faint smile.

She will love their child like how her parents loved her and give him or her everything.

As they walked out of the study room, she looks up at him and smiles.

"You should go. Inu and I will be fine here."

Unaware of the man next to her, she did not notice that Lu Tian was able to catch a glimpse of her hand on her abdomen. He stops in his step and already knew what she was thinking. After all, she had told him she lost her parents at a young age.

However, seeing how understanding she is, he felt his entire being soften. His other hand lift and he gently pinch her cute little nose.

"Silly, you're coming with me."

"…"

Yue Ling's eyes widen with her mouth slightly agape. She had always reminded herself that one of these days, she has to meet his family but…

Touching her nose from the light pain, she quietly mutters.

"Isn't it a little too soon?"

Just as Lu Tian was about to lower his hand, he hears her question and his eyes turned heavy as if they would completely close at any moment.

His hand that had yet to lower raised higher and this time, he knocks on her forehead, but with little strength like a gentle tap.

"What goes on in this brain of yours to make you think so slow sometimes?"

He lowers his hand and reach to grab her other hand and brings them up to his lip. Planting a light kiss on both of her hands, he reassures her.

"It's never too soon for you to meet my family. Besides, you are a my fiancé and my child's mother."

Saying this, he lowers her hands, but made sure to still hold onto one. Turning in the direction of the stairs, he guides her away from the second floor. However, he did not forget to mention one more thing.

"Also, my mother specifically asked for you. She wants to meet you."

As they walked towards the stairs, Yue Ling was at a loss for words. Lu Tian's mother asked for her? How did she (Madam Lu) know that it was her in a relationship with Lu Tian? Did he already mention her to his family? When?

Thinking this, she pout her lip and ponder in thoughts again. It's not that she didn't want to meet his family. It was more like she hadn't prepared herself for this day.

What if they don't like her or what if she doesn't meet their expectations?

What if they find her unworthy of their son?

Reaching the stairs, Yue Ling came back to her consciousness. Remembering something, she abruptly stops and tugs her hand holding his.

"L-Let me change first."

Hearing her words, Lu Tian turns to look at his wife with his eyes lower to her body.

She was wearing a white long sleeve turtleneck sweater with a black midi dress over. It wasn't too loose nor was it too tight, but it still outlines her perfect curves.

His eyes trail from what she was wearing to her face and seeing the nervous look she has on, he smiles a chuckle.

"You look fine."

"…"

Yue Ling purse her lip and furrow her brows. She glance down at her outfit, then looks at Lu Tian. Seeing that he's still in his loungewear, Yue Ling felt even worse.

For someone with such great looks like Lu Tian, even if he goes out like this, it still looks good on him.

However, feeling she should at least wear something more decent looking, she tugs his hand again.

"Let me change first, then we can go, okay?"

"Do you want me to carry you down the stairs?"

"…."

Just as she spoke her words, Lu Tian quickly refuted her with a question that he knows she cannot argue back with.

She let's go of his hand and stares at the man with a silent glare before her cheeks puff and walks down the steps of stairs. She knows that if she decided to go against him, he would really carry her down!

Shameless!

Lu Tian stares at her departing figure for a long minute then he lift his hand that had been intwined with hers. He could still feel the warmth of her hand, but now… he felt so empty.

Looking back at her, he inhales a deep breath and strides down the stair after her.

For some reason, he feels that it's always his wife who likes to let go of his hand. She is a very understanding person, but why can't she understand that he likes to hold her hand?

Just when Yue Ling's feet touched the first floor, Lu Tian also did too. He didn't care and quickly reach down to hold her hand again.

Feeling whole again, he glance down at her with a satisfying smile and walks her towards the front door.
