Chapter 676: Chapter 676 Eat out for dinner

Chapter 676 Eat out for dinner

Standing in front of the floor to ceiling window inside his wife's office, Lu Tian stares out to the outside world. When he heard her voice, he turns around to look at her and a smile curls on his lip.

He could see the look of surprise on her face, but he brushes it aside.

"Are you finished for the day?"

Yue Ling slightly creases her eyebrows together before narrowing her eyes at the man. Is it a coincidence that Lu Tian is here the same time her subordinates asked for the remaining day off?

Unless… No, that's not possible.

She brushes the thought aside and walks over to him. She also tells herself that there is no way Lu Tian and her subordinates would plan this all out.

"There isn't anything left to do, so I dismissed my employees early. What are you doing here? What about your company?"

Watching her approach him, Lu Tian takes a big step forward to close the gap between them. He doesn't ask for approval and pulls her into his embrace. They had only parted in the morning, but he felt like it had been an entire year that he could have her in his arms again.

He lowers his head and places a soft kiss on her forehead.

"Work finished early, so I came to pick you up."

His words were full of honesty, but the truth was, he had a pile work stacked in his office. He was about to finish them, but his assistant called to inform him that everything is ready, so he pushed work aside and came to find his wife.

When he arrived at De L'amour, he was surprised that she wasn't in her office. He sent Liu Shan a message to know of his arrival and decides to wait inside her office until she returns.

Luckily, she returned before the sun started to set, or else, he will have to improvise his plan.

"Are you hungry?"

He asks as he lowers his arms around her, but only so that he can hold her hands. His right-hand raises her left hand to his lip, but he couldn't help but pause when his eyes subconsciously glance at L'amour de ma vie.

Millions of feelings wash inside him like he was suddenly thrown into the ocean. He doesn't continue with what he was going to do but stares at the ring with a blank expression.

"Tian? What's wrong?"

Yue Ling was going to answer him that she was hungry but asks in a slightly worried tone when she saw his solemn expression. She didn't know why, but he looked so lost like what he is thinking about was serious, yet, hurting him.

"Tian?"

Hearing her call his name, Lu Tian was brought back to his senses. He looks at her and shook his head with a smile. He raises her left hand and places a kiss on her hand.

"It's nothing. Should we eat out for dinner?"

Yue Ling gazes into his deep eyes like she was able to see through him. However, it was like he had put on a mask to barricade his feelings.

She brushes this thought away and smiles at him as she nods her head in response.

"Let me get my things then we can leave."

She pulls her hands away from his grasp and turns for her desk where her handbag was. She also needed to shut off her computer since she won't be staying.

Lu Tian's sharp eyes followed her every move. The faint smile on his lip curls up more, but it soon gradually fades when he by a chance glance at the portrait that hung in her office.

It was the same portrait he saw that was taken of his wife from behind.

The space between his brows creases into three lines and he purse his lip. He will definitely need to have this portrait in his office at Lu Corps. However, unlike his vinegar eating feelings when he first saw the portrait, he felt her view from behind to be very familiar.

Like he has seen it somewhere before.

He looks away from the portrait and shifts his gaze to his wife. With her back turned to him, it was then that he put everything he had learned about her together.

In that split second, the image of a little girl from his past memories enters his mind and the smile that had disappeared gradually reappears.

He walks over to her and his entire being softened more than ever.

Yue Ling finished putting away her work and had only grabbed her handbag. When she turned around, she was taken back by surprise to see Lu Tian standing no more than one foot away from her.

She kept a calm expression with a smile, but deep inside, her heart was beating like it had run a full marathon. She pats her chest with her free hand to calm herself and chuckles.

"How can you move so quietly? If I didn't know you were here, I would have mistaken you for a ghost."

Lu Tian's entire being softened even more at her smiling face. He reaches one hand to take her handbag while his other hand entwines his fingers with the gaps of hers.

"If I am a ghost, let me be your ghost and scare away anyone who wants to hurt you."

He doesn't wait for her response and guides her to the door. The sun will be setting soon, so he needs to make sure everything goes according to his plan.

Being led out of her own office, Yue Ling was at a loss for all words. There was plenty of time before dinner, but why is he making it seem like they were going to be late for an appointment?

Both individuals soon reach the parked white car in front of De L'amour. Yue Ling was helped into the passenger seat and she watches as Lu Tian strides around the hood of the car then enters the driver seat.

She waits until he had started the car and was driving away from her company. Folding her arms over her chest, she stares at the side view of his perfect face.

"Tian, is there something you're not telling me?"

At first, she didn't think much, but the more she saw his behavior and compared it with her subordinates, she can't help but be wary of why they are acting so strangely.

Lu Tian kept his eyes on the road ahead, but he could feel himself sweating as he has never deceit anyone in his entire thirty years of living.

However, the person he is deceiving right now is his wife. He even swore an oath to never lie or keep anything from her.

Quickly thinking of something, he glances at her from the corners of his eyes and smiles with his teeth.

"I'm not hiding anything from you. I made reservations for dinner tonight."

He looks back at the road and pats himself on the back in his head. He isn't lying to her because he did make a reservation for them.

Yue Ling narrows her eyes even more at him. She swore inside, for a second there she saw him looking nervous, but she couldn't be sure as he is a master at keeping a straight face.

She tries to rack her brain for a long minute before looking away from him. Maybe she was overthinking the situation.

After all, it was only dinner. Right?
