Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Chapter 658 Indeed the stronges



Under the gray sky that engulfed Imperial into darkness, the streets were less crowded as people didn't want to be out in the pouring rain.

However, despite the rain and wet grounds, a black umbrella can be seen gliding as it shelters its owners from the rain.

As they were oblivious to what their assistants were doing, Lu Tian's long legs stride at a steady pace as he carries his wife on his back. Yue Ling nestles her chin on his shoulder with one arm wrap securely around him and her other hand holding the handle to the umbrella.

"Tired? Am I too heavy?"

She asks in a shy voice as she felt her weight was too heavy and from the distance, they've walked, there is no doubt the man is tired by now. However, Lu Tian shook his head and continues to walk towards the food stall she wanted to go to.

"If you're heavy, I wouldn't even carry you."

Hearing his words that were full of honesty, Yue Ling chuckles and tilt her head to lean against him.

"My head Eunuch is indeed the strongest."

The moment they parked the car, she told him she could walk despite her still not able to feel her legs. However, he was against it and crouched in front of the passenger door with a demanding tone saying either she lets him carry her or they go back home.

She was left speechless by him and said they could just go back home, but he pulled her out of the passenger seat, and piggyback carried her. He didn't even leave her any room to say more and started walking.

Coming back from her thoughts, Yue Ling sighs and pouts her lip. She couldn't help but feel that her weight is still too heavy for him to carry.

"Tian, I think you should put me down. I can still walk on my own. Besides, what if others were to see you carrying me like this? What will they say about you? Wouldn't your almighty image be ruined and everyone in Imperial will think that you are a henpecked husband?"

If her memory serves her right, Lu Tian is said to be a well-known bachelor with a cold personality that makes one unable to get close to.

With their current situation, wouldn't letting him continue to carry her like this sabotage the image he worked so hard on? Not only that, wouldn't this make others question his ruthlessness?

Lu Tian couldn't see her face, but he was well aware of why she wants him to set her down. However, when it comes to her, he can care less about his image.

He tightens his grip on her legs around him and continues forward without pause.

"I don't care about what others have to say about me. If they see me like this, good."

He gently bumps his head with her head and his words continue.

"Let the world know that I am only Han Yue Ling's henpecked husband."

Yue Ling's cheeks flushed and she turned into an even shyer little girl. She is so worried about his image and yet, here he is, unfazed without a care in the world.

"You're always spoiling me."

He is always letting her act like a spoilt brat. He doesn't even seem to be bothered by it, but seem to like it when she acts this way.

Lu Tian sighs a faint smile at her words. He indeed likes to spoil her, but...

"Not enough."

He spoke his remaining thoughts aloud and continue in his steps.

Others may see him as a coldblooded man with no heart but for her, he is willing to be anything.

As long as he can make her happy and see her smile, nothing else matters to him. Even if she wants him to pluck the stars in the sky for her, he is willing to because she deserves to be happy like everyone else in the world.

"Ah! It's right there!"

While Lu Tian was in the middle of his thoughts, Yue Ling suddenly exclaims and her arm wrapped around him points to a specific food stall in the distance.

Lu Tian was brought back to his consciousness and looks in the direction she had pointed. He chuckles at her excited tone of voice and increases his speed.

How can he forget that food is his wife's best friend.

The area they arrived was not as crowded as the first time they came here, but there were still a few stalls in business. Within seconds, the couple soon came to a stop in front of a small food stall. It wasn't big like the others, but the aroma coming from this food stall was delicious and captivating.

As one should know, this was the same food stall the couple had come with Inu.

"Put me down. I can manage on my own. Your legs must be tired by now too."

Yue Ling cheerfully commands, but unable to see Lu Tian's facial expression, she did not see the reluctant pout on his face.

He still wanted to carry her, but like the good husband that he is, he carefully sat her down on a chair in front of the food stall then on the empty seat across from her.

"Hi!"

Yue Ling didn't wait and calls out to get the owner's attention. She held a delighted smile with one hand waving like someone was in front of her.

Seeing her excited and bright expression, Lu Tian sighs inside. If only this expression of her is directed at him only.

However, knowing he cannot be too selfish, he takes the umbrella from her and closes it as they were already under a popup gazebo.

"Yue Ling? Oh my God, it is you!"

An even more cheerful voice calls out from behind the food stall. It was Nuo Hui Ying. She grinned from ear to ear at the sight of Yue Ling.

Due to the rain, their business had been slow all day, so she decided to finish some of her school assignments. When she heard a woman's voice, she didn't need to think as she could recognize it from a mile away.

Seeing the retired model and Lu Tian sitting down, her cheeks flush in embarrassment.

"After your visit here, my father purchased some tables and chairs. He said they were for you in case you stopped by again."

Hearing these words, Yue Ling felt her heart soften. She looks around the new layout of the place then looks back at Nuo Hui Ying.

"Grandmother Nuo is not here today?"

Nuo Hui Ying shakes her head no and puts on a pair of disposable gloves.

"Grandma is at home with my mother. It's only my father and I are here, but he went to buy some food down the street to bring home."

She looks at Yue Ling and her eyes beamed with a bright light and she grins with her teeth.

"What can I get you?"

"Two steamed buns."

Before Yue Ling could answer, Lu Tian took the initiative to answer. He stood up from his seat and walks over to the food stall.

He knows his wife and if she had answered, she would have pushed her tired body to get up and get the food. So, not wanting her to do that, he decides to do it for her.

"Uh..."

Nuo Hui Ying was at a loss. However, aware of Lu Tian's wrath, she quickly nods her head and wraps up two steamed buns.

"Two steamed buns coming right up."

She may be younger, but that didn't mean she hasn't heard about the man fear by many in Imperial.

Yue Ling stares at Nuo Hui Ying busying herself then at Lu Tian. Her eyelids quickly turn heavy and she slowly raises her hand to hold her forehead.

Towards her, he is her henpecked husband with a soft heart, but towards others, he's back to a stone and heartless man.

Does this man not realize the cold aura emitting from him? Does Nuo Hui Ying look like a bee he should be chasing away?
